Several children and apprentices turned their heads calmly and didn't look at Bao Kun's watch.
Xiuli, on the other hand, was still a beat slow to react. Her man patted her on the head and she leaned to the left. It was perfect, and there was no sign of her old father shedding tears.
At this moment, Bao Kun's tears were falling like crazy, which made some people who had been paying attention to what the Wen family had given them drop their jaws!
This, this old man is crying, how come they can't bear it?
Bao Kunbiao was really sad. He had always liked his wife, even though she was beautiful when she was young and later became obese, he still loved her.
He had been feeling depressed ever since he found out she was ill. Now he could only think about the scene of his wife leaving him and being alone.
No, the tears fell even harder.
Zhang kept crying out in pain, it was so heartbreaking.
I didn't even have time to eat.
She stuffed the pancake into her eldest daughter's hand, turned around and hugged her man's head without caring about anything.
Xiu Li looked at the crowd and wanted to look back even more. However, her husband was stubborn: he could let others watch the embarrassing things, but his wife couldn't watch.
This was his last bit of perseverance as a son!
Then, the couple coaxed each other for a while, and the onlookers watched this loving drama while walking. Although it was a bit ridiculous, it was quite beautiful to watch.
Just when he was about to be coaxed into submission, a quarrel broke out in Wen Xueju's house.
After all, with so many people fleeing famine, it's not uncommon for some quarrels to occur along the way. Sometimes, even upper and lower teeth would knock against each other.
But this time, when there was a quarrel at Wen Xueju's house, Sanhua and his children went to find the old village chief and several elders of the tribe.
Even Wen Bibo was called over.
"He's dead, he's dead. The child's father was injured, and he only had one meal of food on the first day. I see there's nothing left today.
I asked my mother to give some of the money we have at home to the head of the household as supplements, and then she beat me up like this. I really can’t live anymore, I can’t live anymore…
Anyway, the head of the family's life is worthless and no one cares about it. Our lives are even more worthless. It's better for the whole family to die like this!"
The old village chief was so angry. They were fleeing from famine and were short of breath even on the way, and yet you, Wen Xueju, were making a fuss at home over a little food.
What’s even more infuriating is that they gave compensation to Sanhua’s father, but now, the food didn’t enter the mouths of the injured, but was instead swallowed by healthy people. Is this something a human would do?
"If I don't hit you if you're talking back at me, my mother-in-law, who else should I hit? Besides, the second child is already well, isn't he? What's wrong with giving him to his nephews to eat?
Adults are snatching food from children. Aren’t you ashamed?"
Zhou put her hands on her hips, not feeling she had done anything wrong. It wasn't until she saw the old man winking at her, and then glanced at the village chief, the elders, and the others, that she lowered her voice.
The sisters-in-law nearby hadn't noticed the arrival of anyone yet and were still trying to sow discord as usual.
The eldest daughter-in-law curled her lips. "That's right, the children are still growing. What's the point of feeding it to the second child? If he eats it, he will only give birth to a daughter, which is a waste of money."
"That's right. If you only eat it and give birth to a daughter and treasure her, it would be better to give it to a few children. At least they can support the family. Second brother, we are not saying anything bad, but why are you fighting with the children?
If you don't have a son to start a family in the future, when you die, won't your nephews throw money around and throw pots around for you?"
"Second sister-in-law, you should just listen to your mother's lecture and you dare to talk back. This shows that you don't take your mother seriously at all.
As daughters-in-law, we are supposed to be filial and obedient. You dare to contradict your mother-in-law, oh my, this is really unfilial..."
“I…”
The old village chief didn't want to listen anymore. He was still busy on his way. Seeing that the main force was moving forward, why were they still standing here to make peace?
"When I distributed food, I told them to give it to the wounded, and I also repeatedly stressed that they shouldn't mess around. What's going on? Are you guys just treating me like I farted?"
The eyes of the women in Wen Xueju's family started to turn, and the eldest daughter's brain was the fastest.
He immediately put on an apologetic smile. "We gave it to our second brother. We made him some thick porridge the day before. It was delicious, but it's a pity that he didn't even take a few bites."
Later, all the food was divided among those money-losing guys. For this reason, she suggested that her mother-in-law should stop giving it to the second child.
After all, whether or not you can eat it, it's a waste. Give it to your grandchildren. When they grow up well, they will remember their grandmother's kindness and will only be filial to her in the future.
For this reason, the old woman believed this without a doubt and insisted on giving the food to her grandchildren. The second son's family? Of course, they didn't deserve it.
Their family knows about this, but they can’t let outsiders know. Old Zhou also quickly responded.
"Right, right. The second child couldn't finish it, and later on he said it would be a waste if he ate it, so as a mother, I made the decision and gave it to the grandchildren."
But Sanhua's mother refused.
"But you gave it to the eldest and fifth child. They are the healthiest. I, the head of the family, can't eat it, but they, the healthy ones, can. Mom, I just want to ask you, is the second child really yours?
Why do you treat the older brothers completely differently even though they are all sons? Just because I am not good at talking and don't marry you, I become the inferior one and get bullied by you guys?
"Of course he is my biological son. How dare you, an unfilial man, slander me like this? I won't live any longer. I want to die.
A man of his age, and yet his daughter-in-law throws such dirty water at him..."
Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to Old Zhou's throwing a tantrum, because after listening to what Sanhua Niang said, the old village chief directly gave her a choice.
"Either give the Sanhua family the same treatment, or split up the family. Choose one!"
Old Mrs. Zhou was in a rage and no one cared. Now she was in high spirits, but when she heard that she had given birth to a money-losing thing and a house full of unlucky things, she actually wanted the same treatment?
She let out a "Pah" sound and spat a lot of saliva on Sanhua Niang's face.
"You are a scoundrel, an unfilial old bitch. You only know how to give birth to money-losing bastards after entering the house. If you want the same treatment, it will be impossible in this lifetime.
The old man gave her a share of the family property."
Wen Xueju didn't want to split up the family. But thinking about the second son's injury, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do any heavy work in the future.
So they split up...it didn't seem wrong. He had no hope of having a second son's own house anyway. All his children would be money-losing, and he would have to rely on the eldest son's house in the future.
Once the mind is distracted, all kinds of mean ideas start to pop up.
"Well, let's divide it. But we don't have anything we need to escape the famine at home. If you want to go out and live alone, then go ahead. We don't have any money at home, and we don't have any food..."
In the end, the old man realized that he couldn't really give nothing.
"Let's give them five pounds at home. It's not that we don't want to give you more, but we really don't have much left."
