The old lady's eyes were full of relief.
The hand caressing Tian Chengcheng became more and more gentle.
Alas, what a good child! Those people are so unlucky!
The old lady silently swore in her heart that she must treat Fubao well.
"Grandma, my uncle and I are going to bring food to my third uncle's house." Tian Chengcheng volunteered to go.
She was worried about Tian Hengyuan going alone. Who knew Li Qiuju was a person who didn't play by the rules? Who knew what she could do?
"Okay." The old lady responded, called Tian Hengyuan over, and told him Tian Chengcheng's idea. Fu Xinhan also wanted to go.
The three of them found a bag, filled it with five pounds of cornmeal, three pounds of rice, one pound of flour, two pieces of pork belly, and two pounds of pork head meat. They filled half a basket and carried it to Tian Laosan's house.
Tian Chengcheng always felt uneasy. When she met the village chief on the road, she called the village chief to go with her.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Li Qiuju's loud voice.
"Tian Lao San, you coward! That old woman takes those two bastards out to eat and drink all day long, not caring about your own son's life or death. How can you just sit there and do that? If it were me, I would have overturned the dining table in her house and let her eat until they die of stuffing!"
Tian Laosan said nothing.
Zhuangzhuang was unhappy. "Mom, Sister Fubao is so nice. Grandma even gave us delicious food and said she would make me a new set of clothes. Please stop scolding Grandma and Sister Fubao. People in the village say you have a bad heart."
"You little bastard, I'm your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you, but you're already turning your elbows outward before you even grow up." Li Qiuju cursed back directly, but he was her precious son after all, so she only cursed him a few words and didn't want to hit him.
Zhuangzhuang was scolded to death and said angrily: "I will not marry when I grow up, so as to avoid being scolded all day long. I am willing to be single."
When Li Qiuju heard what her son said, she was so angry that she almost fell over.
"What nonsense?"
Li Qiuju continued to curse and say all kinds of nasty things.
The smile on the village chief's face disappeared, "This Li Qiuju is too outrageous!"
Tian Chengcheng didn't say anything.
After all, this is Li Qiuju.
It would be scary if she suddenly became as gentle as water!
Tian Hengyuan's face was full of anger. He didn't care if he was scolded, but Li Qiuju kept talking about him, either an old immortal or a bastard, which made him furious.
"No, it would be a waste if she ate it." Tian Hengyuan said.
Tian Chengcheng grabbed him and said, "Uncle, grandma will be sad."
If it were her, she would definitely not come to bring food to Li Qiuju, but she didn't want to see the old lady feel sad.
As a mother, even if she doesn’t have to eat, she doesn’t want her children to suffer.
Tian Hengyuan sighed, "Fubao, you are so kind, what will you do if you are bullied in the future?"
"Uncle, I can protect Fubao." Fu Xinhan said.
Tian Hengyuan smiled, thinking it was just a child's joke, but he didn't know what Fu Xinhan was thinking. He was a stubborn person, and once he made a decision, he would definitely do it.
It took Tian Hengyuan a long time to understand this.
"Tian Laosan!" the village chief roared.
"Hey, Fourth Uncle, what's the matter?" Tian Laosan walked out with dragging steps.
Seeing Tian Hengyuan was there, an unnatural look flashed across his face, "Hengyuan is here too, come in and sit down."
"I won't go to your house, for fear of being scolded! Third brother, this is something our mother sent to you. She's not doing well and doesn't want to burden you. She has something in her heart for you. I don't ask for anything in return, but at least remember that she is your mother."
Tian Hengyuan said this angrily, and put the bamboo basket on the ground. "I'll ask Zhuangzhuang to return the bamboo basket another day."
After leaving a message, Tian Hengyuan said goodbye to the village chief and left with Tian Chengcheng and Fu Xinhan.
Tian Laosan looked at the things in the bamboo basket, and his already bent back seemed to bend even more.
The village chief took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at Li Qiuju as she walked out. "It's a good thing for a wife to take care of the family, but people should have a conscience and a bottom line! At the very least, leave some room for future encounters. I see that whether it's Hengyuan, Fubao, or the kid from the Fu family, they'll all be promising people in the future. Don't take things too far."
Li Qiuju put her hands in her pockets and remained silent for a rare moment.
Tian Laosan saw the village chief off, silently picked up the bamboo basket, brought it into the house, and placed it on the table.
"Did you hear what Hengyuan said to the village chief? If you keep calling me an old fool or a bastard, our marriage will be over.
I would rather be single for the rest of my life than continue to bear the stigma of being unfilial! If we divorce, all the things in the house will be yours. I can give you this shabby house if you want it, but you can forget about our children from the Tian family."
Tian Laosan spoke in a calm tone and with a firm attitude.
Li Qiuju looked at his calm expression and didn't dare to scold him. She muttered, "If she had delivered the things earlier, would I have scolded her?"
Li Qiuju still found an excuse for herself.
Tian Laosan said nothing.
As long as she doesn't go to the Tian family's old house to scold him, he's used to her muttering at home.
He didn't say anything today, and Li Qiuju hurriedly took out the things in the bamboo basket.
"Oh, there is also rice and flour, bacon and pork head. That old man - our mother is really generous." Li Qiuju changed her words in time.
Tian Lao San continued, "Don't keep cursing all day long, it's useless! Didn't the village chief say that Hengyuan and those two kids are both promising? Build good relationships with them in the future. If they eat meat, you can have some too."
If you continue to make such a fuss, we will never see each other again. Not to mention meat and noodles, you won’t even get any wild vegetables.”
Li Qiuju was in a good mood after receiving the food. Her eyes lit up when she heard what Tian Laosan said. "You are right. I will listen to you from now on. If I can get along well with them, I won't have to worry about having nothing to eat."
The wrinkles on Tian Laosan's forehead tightened instantly.
"Don't think about getting something for nothing all day long. Live your life well."
However, Li Qiuju couldn't listen at all. Her mind was full of images of Tian Hengyuan and others becoming successful in the future and herself benefiting from it.
The more I think Tian Lao San is far-sighted, "You are the smart one, the head of the family! I will listen to you from now on. I will not be a shrew. I will be a gentle and virtuous wife, respecting my mother-in-law and serving my husband. I will go cook now. We will have dumplings today."
Zhuangzhuang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Mom, really? Are you really going to eat dumplings?"
"Of course it's true. When has mom ever lied to you?" Li Qiuju was in a good mood and looked at her son with even more favor.
"Mom, please make more and send a plate to grandma and the others." Zhuangzhuang said.
Li Qiuju glared at him when she heard this. "You bastard, there's only so much noodles, it's not enough for our family of four, how can we give them any extra? They have their own noodles and can make them themselves."
She originally wanted to say something unpleasant, but when she saw the white flour, she changed her words.
Zhuangzhuang was not convinced, "You just said you were honoring my grandma."
Li Qiuju rolled her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll ride in the sedan chair as a grown-up girl and be a filial daughter-in-law. I've packed it, and you and your dad can take a bowl to your grandma."
She talked about being filial to her mother-in-law, but she didn't mention being filial to her brother-in-law and those two bastards.
