When Lin Dacui first listened to her third son's words, she was a little skeptical.

But seeing how truthfully her third son spoke, she began to believe it in her heart, and could not help slapping the kang with both hands, cursing: "This fourth son has really forgotten his mother after marrying a wife. Not only has he not come back to see us for so many years, but he also bought such good things for his father-in-law's family. Is he planning to marry into the family?"

"What does it have to do with us whether he marries into the family or not? Don't forget that he severed ties with us a few years ago." Old Man Gu glanced at his wife who was cursing, and then at the third child who had a gloating look on his face. He knew that this guy was lying, so he couldn't help but knocked the old dry pipe in his hand and shouted at the old woman to stop her from saying anything.

"Even if we break off relations, what can it matter? I am still his mother who gave birth to him and raised him. As long as I say a word, he cannot disown me." Lin Dacui has been thinking in her heart for many years whether she has done something wrong, which has caused the estrangement of the fourth brother's family from her.

But after thinking about it for so many years, I still don’t understand what I did wrong.

So now I heard the third child say that the fourth child bought so many good things for his father-in-law's house when he came back, but didn't bring anything for her and the old man.

Does this make me feel happy? Of course not.

He ignored Old Man Gu and looked at Gu Minghe and said, "Go to the Majia Brigade and tell them that I want to find the third brother and his wife, and ask them to come see me as soon as possible."

"Mom, this is not good, right?" Gu Minghe did not expect that his mother would be so angry after he said this. He could only look at his father carefully, and then looked at his mother and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong with that? As a mother, I have to ask for permission before I can see them?" Lin Dacui was already furious, and now she saw that the third child was so cautious, her anger turned into a rage.

"Okay, okay, I'll go now, I'll go now." Seeing his mother's generosity, Gu Minghe ran out without even looking at his father.

After the third son left, Old Man Gu looked at the angry old woman helplessly and said, "You have been here for so many years. There is no need for you to be so angry just because the fourth son came back."

"I don't want to be angry, but look at what the fourth brother does. He only comes back once every few years, and he doesn't even bring his wife and kids to visit us. He just comes here to give us some shabby things and leaves. Do you think he still cares about us and the Gu family?" Lin Dacui was getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. But when she thought about how she might get sick from anger, and that Gu Mingze didn't feel sorry for her, she could only pat herself on the chest and tell herself not to be so angry.

"The children have grown up and have their own lives to live. It would be better for us two to just stay with the second brother's family. Why do you have to make trouble?" Seeing that his wife didn't listen to him, Old Man Gu could only hold his pipe in his hand and walk out to look for the second brother with his shoes on.

I thought to myself: After all, their family is now living with the second brother's family.

Now his wife was causing trouble and he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only go to the field and call his second son and his wife back to try to persuade them.

Gu Mingze didn't know that his mother was going to make trouble again. When he returned home and saw that the door was closed, he shouted Lu Qingyan loudly and then pushed the door open and walked in.

"Where did you get the bike from?" Lu Qingyan was basking in the sun in the yard. When she saw the man pushing a bike back, she asked in surprise.

"I borrowed it from my old comrade. I'll return it before we leave." Gu Mingze parked his bicycle in a corner, reached out to take the things on it into the house, and then came out and said, "I went a little late. The pork was sold out. There was only less than a pound of lean meat left for me to buy back."

"One pound is fine. Let's wait until mom comes back to see how to eat it." Lu Qingyan said nonchalantly when she heard the man's words.

"By the way, I just ran into Third Brother at the commune. He asked me to borrow money, but I didn't lend him any money at first. But I didn't expect that he would wait for me on my way back. I didn't see clearly, so I kicked him out. Then I came back on my bike." Gu Mingze moved a bench and sat next to his wife, explaining what happened when he went out.

"Isn't it time to go to work now? Why is Third Brother in the commune and asking you for money?" Lu Qingyan frowned and asked.

Logically speaking, since the two families were so unhappy with each other, her third uncle shouldn't have borrowed money from her own family.

But now Gu Mingze has already said that he will not lend it, and he is still waiting on the road. She will not believe him if he says there is nothing strange here.

"I asked him about this when I was at the commune, but he said his father-in-law was ill and he came to the commune to buy some things for him and visit him, but when he got to the commune he found out that his money was missing." After saying this, Gu Mingze continued, "And he always had a guilty look in his eyes, and when I asked him if he had a bad relationship with his father-in-law's family, he got angry at me."

"Then it's right that you don't lend him the money. What if he does something with the borrowed money, how would we know?" When Lu Qingyan heard the man say this, she felt that there was something wrong with her third uncle. Otherwise, he should have been nice when borrowing money from others. Why did he get so angry when asked?

"So I didn't borrow it." After Gu Mingze said this, he chatted with his wife for a while. Then his father-in-law and mother-in-law came back, each carrying a basket and leading their four children.

"Dad, look, I helped my grandma and grandpa dig up a lot of vegetables today." Gu Qiming came home and threw himself on Gu Mingze without caring whether he was dirty or not.

Even Gu Jingming was the same. When he got home, he ran and pounced on Lu Qingyan.

"Stop, you two are too dirty, don't come over here." Seeing her eldest son coming towards her, Lu Qingyan quickly stood up and hid behind Gu Mingze, and told the two children not to come over.

"Come on, how dirty can these two kids be? I'll hug you, look at your disgusted look." Mother Lu said angrily when she saw her daughter like this.

"Mom, I'm not disgusted, it's just that they are too dirty. The clothes I just changed today got dirty again after they threw themselves on me." Seeing her mother saying this to her, Lu Qingyan spread her hands with an innocent look on her face and said

"Jingming, Qiming, let's ignore your parents. Go and wash up with your two brothers." Mother Lu had no choice but to ask her two grandsons to go and wash up with her eldest grandson.

"Mom, you and my dad have walked through so many hills to dig up so many vegetables." Lu Qingyan waited for the two children to wash their hands and faces before she stretched her head to look into the basket in her parents' hands.

"I didn't walk very far." Mother Lu was very happy to have dug so many wild vegetables, so she wanted to tell her daughter about her experience of digging vegetables on the spot.

But he was interrupted by someone who suddenly ran in panting.

"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother's Wife, Mother wants to see you two now, you two should come back with me quickly..."
