"Well, Uncle Wu, come over and listen. I just had a discussion with the village chief. It means that these livestock can be protected just like us humans, and they can also walk with us.
But whether we can make it through depends entirely on fate. After all, none of us know whether we can make it through.
If you can't make it, you'll lose hundreds of pounds of flesh. If you can make it, it'll be good for you, it'll be good for everyone... Make your choice!"
"this……"
Chu Wu was conflicted.
But his wife wiped her tears and jumped up.
"You want a son? He's our son. What kind of parents would stab their son? If you dare not want our son, I'll fight you to the death."
Chu Laowu, who had just said that Ma was his son, now tried to persuade his wife with a bitter face.
"Wife, we don't have much right now, but if we had these few hundred kilograms of meat, we could exchange it for food and eat it ourselves for a long time.
If I don’t get through this…”
"Bah, Chu Laowu, you bastard, if you dare to kill my son, I will fight you to the death. If you want to eat its meat, eat mine first."
"Okay, okay, okay, you're getting more and more irritable, woman. Really... Never mind, I'm too lazy to argue with you now..."
The Wen family members laughed as they watched, and Xiushui joked.
"Aunt Wu, my uncle Wu said he wouldn't argue with you, but we just want to see you arguing. Oh my, it's rare to see my uncle Wu act so cowardly."
Chu Wu's wife also knew that she was the one who attacked. But she was very confident in bullying her man.
She put her hands on her hips and glared at Chu Laowu. "Hurry up and take our son for a walk. He's been tired all day, and you still don't feel sorry for him. Just yelling at him hurts his feelings."
"Yes, yes, I can't afford to offend you."
When they were walking hand in hand, they met Lao Qian, who pulled him aside to complain.
"Old Qian, why do I feel like we're fleeing from famine all this time? Not only is the future uncertain, but this woman's temper is also changing.
My wife used to be such a gentle person. As long as I brought money home, she would offer me tea and massage my shoulders.
Now, he either yells at me for not being able to work or scolds me for eating too much. Oh my god... I can't live like this..."
Old Qian agreed with this and finally looked at his wife sadly.
He wanted to say that since fleeing the famine, although his wife was no longer mean to him or nagging him, but... her attitude was no longer the same as before.
Considering that they were brothers in distress, he generously patted the other's shoulder to comfort him.
"You said that you used to take money home. But now you're always with her, cooking and keeping an eye on the food, and worrying about the hardships ahead.
What about you? What did you do while she was busy?
"I……"
Chu Laowu thought about it and felt a little guilty.
"I...I'm injured. She cooks and I wait to eat.
I watched her gather firewood, and I ate the food she put in my hands. I watched her pack up..."
Well, in the end, Chu Laowu realized that he was used to being the boss and it would take him a while to get over it.
Now that his wife is the boss of the household, she sees that he does nothing, so of course she is dissatisfied with everything about him.
Similarly, Lao Qian kept nodding his head, and he seemed to be very clear-headed.
He looked Chu Laowu up and down again.
"So, what I'm better than you is that I can pick up firewood on the road. When I get to the field, I can help my wife and start a fire.
Otherwise, I would definitely be like you, being despised by my wife for not being able to do anything, and being the biggest loser in the world with eating as the top priority."
"Hey, Lao Qian, let's talk business, don't drag me down."
"Old Five, this is a discussion between us, and it's a fact. Did I make up a story that you don't care about your wife?
Those things are not your business? Brother, be a man! "
Old Five Chu was so angry that he roared and wanted to hit someone, but the agile fat man, Old Qian, managed to slip away for a long distance.
"Damn Old Qian, you bastard..."
"Hahahaha, an old man like me has to go back and coax my wife. Tsk tsk tsk, Old Five, you have to be a genuine person. Your wife is your own, but your children belong to others..."
Only when the two of them walked away playing and fighting did Ruzhu let out a sigh of relief.
"Xiushui, do you feel that...during our escape from famine, some things seem to have changed more and more?"
"What is it?"
Xiushui was busy refining charcoal and grinding it into fine particles.
"Many men used to just work outside and not take care of anything when they got home.
Nowadays, many people help their wives with chores along the way. Are those who don’t help looked down upon? "
"Really? Why didn't I notice it?"
Xiushui really didn't notice this. She was busy every day, so it was a relief for her to have the time to listen to some gossip.
"It really happens. For example, Dahua's dad, who used to not even help when a bowl fell over, has recently started helping his wife with work.
There is also Ergoudan's father. He didn't work before and he still doesn't work now. Yesterday, his wife cried and complained to him.
At that time, many aunts and uncles did not blame his wife, but criticized Ergoudan's father.
In the past, this would definitely mean that Ergoudan’s mother was bad and lazy.
Now everyone has changed their views. They no longer talk about women, but men instead."
Xiushui was also very surprised to hear this. After all, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls has really not changed at all from ancient times to the present.
"It really happened. That's really rare."
"Besides, I suspect that all these changes are because of my mother and our family?"
Ruzhu lowered her voice with a look of pride.
"No way, my grandma just divorced her husband. What's the point of them changing our family?"
She really didn't understand. It was just a normal life, eating, and she didn't do anything earth-shattering.
Oh, yes, except for my poor old father, every couple in the other branches of the Wen family, whether they have children or not, are very loving.
"Could it be that our loving couple model makes them envious?"
"Well, maybe. Anyway, I overheard their gossip, and they said my mother was very powerful all the way.
He is no less capable than a man in taking care of his family.
Moreover, he is more capable than many self-righteous old men and is really helpful when encountering problems.
She's a real coordinator, no matter how big or small the situation. From what they say, my mom is perfect in every way, better than any of their parents.
"Those aunts and grandmothers are all standing up now, and they are even pulling their old man to talk about how good my mother is.
Later they talked about the harmony in our family and the unity among the several branches.
The final conclusion is that all the men in the Wen family love their wives.
She has to deal with things outside and help her wife with work when she comes home. She is very good at asking about her husband's well-being. When she talks about the good things of her brothers, she will criticize her own man.
Then, those uncles also secretly competed with each other, wanting to do better than their brothers..."
