As soon as Li Qiuju finished speaking, the old lady sneered.
His gaze flickered across the couple's faces, "Third Brother, was this your idea?"
Tian Laosan folded his hands and was silent for a while before admitting, "Mom, this is something Qiuju and I have discussed for a long time. After all, we are a family, and Fubao was raised by us. Qiuju was confused and felt guilty about the child before, but now she has figured it out and will definitely take good care of the child in the future.
We are a family, working together, so why worry about not having a good life? Even if we take a step back, weren't the conflicts we had in the past all caused by poverty?
Tian Laosan, who has always been silent, suddenly became eloquent.
The logic is all online.
First apologize and admit your mistake, then put the benefits before you.
Look, that makes so much sense.
Tian Chengcheng looked at him silently, her mind full of thoughts.
This kind of person is very cunning. It's fine if he doesn't speak, but once he speaks, he shocks everyone.
"Because you're poor? Who isn't poor? Just because you're poor, you can do things against your conscience? Now that you see Fubao is useful, you remember that we're a family. What have you done before?"
The old lady watched her son grow up, how could she not know her child's temper?
"Mom, Qiuju has apologized and promised that she will never beat or scold the child again," said Teacher Tian.
"That won't work either. A split is a split. You two have your own hands and feet. You can raise your own children. Don't expect to be leeches. As long as I'm not dead, you can give up this idea."
The old lady slammed the table in anger, and there was no sign of compromise in her tone.
"Mom, if you don't consider me as your son, at least consider Zhuangzhuang and Xinxin. They are your grandchildren. They are in the growth stage now. What future can they have if they follow us and eat tree bark every day?"
Tian Laosan did not give up. He would either not take action or, if he did, he would resolve the problem.
Without waiting for the old lady to speak, he looked at Tian Chengcheng and said, "Fubao, when you were at our house, Dad never beat or scolded you once. I know you were wronged, but your mom has a bad temper, and I got scolded a lot too. You know the situation at home. We had been eating tree bark for more than two months. At that time, no one knew if we could survive. If you stayed at home and waited to die, it would be better to let you out. Maybe there was still a chance of survival."
Tian Laosan's speech was full of emotion and passion.
Tian Chengcheng was almost moved.
What a touching love this is!
Too bad—she’s not an eight-year-old.
"Uncle San, I understand the truth! But I feel that I am not acclimatized to your family. Otherwise, for so many years, I have been going up the mountain every day to cut grass for pigs and pick wild vegetables. It's almost like I live in the mountains. Let alone a wild boar that died by hitting its head on a tree, I have never even seen a pig hair.
Living with you, what if things go back to the way they were before? "
Tian Chengcheng expressed her concerns seriously.
Not only was Tian Laosan speechless, even Li Qiuju thought it made sense.
Yes, she has raised the child for eight years, how could she not know?
Therefore, Fubao's good luck only started to come after he came to the Tian family's old house.
In this case——
Li Qiuju began to look at the old house. Could it be that the feng shui here was better?
"Mom, do you think the feng shui of the old house is good? Hengyuan got into university, and Fubao picks up treasures for free every day. It seems strange no matter how I think about it."
As she looked around, Li Qiuju saw a vegetable patch in the yard that was growing thrivingly. "Mom, look at that vegetable patch. How thriving are they?"
In the yard, the green vegetables that had just been planted a few days ago had grown wildly to a height of about 15 centimeters. They swayed gently in the spring breeze, and their lush green color formed a sharp contrast with the dilapidated scene around them.
So beautiful!
Tian Chengcheng lay on the windowsill, her chin supported by her hands, her eyes filled with resentment.
Oh, it seems like I have to pull them out and feed them to the rabbits!
For a while, this question troubled everyone and no one could answer it.
The old lady turned her head and saw Tian Chengcheng holding her chin in embarrassment. Her heart, which had just relaxed, hardened again.
This child is pitiful. He is obviously afraid of Li Qiuju, but he doesn't say it for fear of embarrassing others.
She had to make the decision for her.
"If you think this place has good feng shui, then move in. At worst, I can work hard and move to the house over there for a change."
The smiles that had just appeared on Li Qiuju and Tian Laosan's faces disappeared with the old lady's last two words.
Change?
Exchange this old house that is about to collapse for their newly built house?
Are they stupid?
Li Qiuju couldn't pretend anymore and sneered, "Mom, you really are getting smarter as you get older. How can you even say you want to change houses?"
She finally realized that the old lady was very shrewd. Her heart was entirely on Tian Hengyuan and the bastard Fubao, and she didn't care about their family at all.
"I'm not saying this to please you. It's you who have set your eyes on my old house. Your words and actions are full of envy. What can I, a mother, do?" the old lady asked back.
Li Qiuju wanted to quarrel with the old lady, but when she thought of the benefits, she had to suppress it.
But not getting angry with the old lady should not mean that you can't get angry.
Immediately, Li Qiuju slapped Tian Laosan in the face, "It's all your bad idea. You asked me to apologize and we're family. Bah! Dream on! You treat them as family, but they only treat you as an outsider."
As the saying goes, a man’s face and a woman’s waist should not be hit or touched.
When you get slapped in the face, the pain is secondary; the key is dignity.
As a man, how can you let your wife slap you?
But Li Qiuju did just that, and she used a lot of strength. A clear slap mark appeared on Tian Laosan's dark face.
This slap hit the old lady's heart.
She wanted to see how cruel the old lady could be.
The old lady's eyes flickered and her hands couldn't help but tremble. Looking at her beaten son, her heart was bleeding.
But in the end——
She endured it.
"If you two are fighting, don't get in my way. Go home and close the door and fight to death, and no one will care! Just one thing, Xinxin and Zhuangzhuang are still young. As parents, you should consider your children's feelings even if you don't behave like human beings."
Tian Laosan had the ugliest expression.
Tian Hengyuan couldn't help it, "Third sister-in-law, how can you hit people at every turn?"
Li Qiuju showed no sign of weakness. "What's wrong? I can't hit this person or that person, so I deserve it anyway. I have to endure it myself. If I die of anger, do you think your old Tian family will be relieved? You can even marry your third brother a gentle and virtuous wife? Pah! Do you think your third brother is a hot commodity?
I'm telling you, I, Li Qiuju, am not a punching bag. You and your family have no chance of bullying me."
After all the talk, Li Qiuju gradually revealed her true character.
She endured humiliation and came to apologize just to gain some benefits, but in the end she gained nothing. How could she not be angry?
Tian Chengcheng finally couldn't help herself and looked at Zhuangzhuang, "Little Fatty, do you want to eat delicious food every day? And Xinxin? How about you two eat here in the future, and share in the good fortune of this place."
Li Qiuju was unable to react to this sudden change.
"What did you say? Let Zhuangzhuang and Xinxin eat here from now on?"
