How much will all this stuff cost?
Looking at Chen Pandi, Chen Pandi told her mother that her younger brother had bought them all.
Chen's mother's eyes immediately welled up with tears. Chen Xu had always only ever taken, and when he ran out of money, he would throw things and curse at the drop of a hat. They were so afraid of him that they even started to resist their own son. They never expected that they had been so petty.
Nan Yu instructed the bodyguards to renovate the room and also bought a bag of cement. There was sand on the hill, though she didn't know where it came from, so she shoveled two truckloads of it back and mixed it.
Of all the older sisters, only Chen Pandi had any opinions of her own.
The rest of them are just like Chen's mother; they do whatever the men say.
Chen's father remained silent.
He didn't know what his son wanted to do, nor did he know how to ask.
She quietly killed a chicken, which was only available during the Lunar New Year when she and Chen's mother were giving birth to twins. All other living creatures were kept alive, and she couldn't bear to kill them for cooking.
When Nan Yu returned, Chen's father, being tongue-tied, didn't know how to treat him well.
Killing a chicken or a goose is considered a very high level of courtesy.
Chen Pandi was full of energy and helped her younger brother. The siblings were busy and enthusiastic. Lin's mother wanted to send Nanyu over to experience hardship and feel the difficulties of life. As a result, it was as if Dengxin had opened up his Ren and Du meridians.
As long as he is not under mental stress.
You can have fun anywhere.
Nan Yu distributed all the bags of candy in the box to her sister's children.
After mixing the cement, I smoothed the floor of the room with something. Since I couldn't sleep that night, I slept in the yard. I bought a mosquito net and sprayed some floral water. I also bought some for my parents.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were deeply moved.
The windows were opened for ventilation, and after a week of drying, the ground hardened. The whole house was renovated. Fortunately, the walls were made of stone, not mud. The neighbors passed by the Chen family every day, curious about what they were doing.
Before Nan Yu arrived, the Chen family was like an old-fashioned machine, operating in an orderly manner, neither particularly good nor bad.
Even if they have twins.
Life was just so-so.
Because of my age, I don't have the energy to keep up.
Compared to Chen Xu's treatment back then, the twins are still worse off. In the past, if Chen Xu wanted to eat chicken, he could eat chicken; if he wanted to eat duck, he had to kill a duck, and all the eggs in the house would be given to him.
Nan Yu's arrival for a day energizes the household chores with great enthusiasm.
Even if it meant killing chickens and ducks, Chen's parents were happy to do it. After a few days together, Chen's mother had become close to Nan Yu, showering her with concern and care, just like Chen Xu, giving him all the good things in the house.
Nan Yu feared that she would suffer the same fate as the Lin family.
He would share the things his mother gave him with his older sister or their children.
The Chen sisters really like Nanyu.
Chen Pandi, in particular, spends every day with Nan Yu.
My younger brother is still the best.
In half a month, the house was completely renovated inside and out. The Chen family was like a withered flower that had been fertilized and brought back to life. Everyone was cheerful all day long, and the eldest daughter who had married out would bring her child over every two days.
It wasn't that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to beg for money.
The three children were clamoring for their uncle.
Even the twins who were still in swaddling clothes liked Nan Yu.
She smiles whenever she sees her brother.
The baby was fed with formula, and Nan Yu often held him while feeding him.
Chen Xu's room was converted into a northern-style kang (heated brick bed). The space was too small and resources were limited, so this was the only way to make it slightly more spacious, at least so that he wouldn't fall off the bed when he turned over in bed.
He sawed wood, directed the bodyguards, and made a wardrobe and two dressing tables.
Fill the small room.
The bodyguard was initially quite helpless, but the more he did it, the more he felt that it was quite interesting to occasionally enjoy a few days of rural life. It was purely physical labor; after finishing the work, he would eat, eat, and sleep—it was comfortable.
He moved his bed to the main room so that there would be more space for the twins to roll around. He himself slept on a folding bed in the main room, which his parents naturally did not want.
The older sisters also refused.
In families that favor sons over daughters, there is no reason for boys to suffer.
Nan Yu had no choice but to say:
"I'll probably be leaving at the end of the month, so I won't be staying for more than a few days."
One sentence silenced the Chen family. After spending more than half a month together, the Chen sisters had developed a strong blood bond with Nan Yu and never thought he would leave again.
Women are more emotional, so that day, no one really talked.
That night, Chen's mother secretly shed tears.
Chen's father also sighed.
The house wasn't soundproof, and Nan Yu could hear crying from both sides of the main room as he lay there. The crying made his heart ache, and he decided to go back and work hard to bring them out of the mountains.
Lin's mother wanted him to feel resentful, pained, broken, and desperate before returning home, so he would realize just how much the Lin family had done for him, and that he would never be able to repay Chen Xu.
Therefore, no matter what Chen Xu does, he should endure it.
After all, even if life is tough in the Lin family, it's still better than living deep in the mountains.
But Lin's mother didn't expect that the problem was with the seed, not the environment; the Chen family was just poor, not immoral.
If there's a problem, the only one is the preference for sons over daughters.
The Chen family is indeed hateful to the daughter, especially the eldest son, who married a cripple to satisfy his younger brother's vanity. Fortunately, the cripple is a good person and is considerate to his wife.
But according to Sister Chen's way of thinking...
She would feel that she should do these things.
Especially since her husband had no other health problems besides a limp, she was even more convinced that she should help her younger brother.
The crying gradually subsided around 3 a.m.
Only then could Nan Yu fall asleep.
The next day, everyone was listless. Chen's mother, holding the baby, passed by Nan Yu seven or eight times, but hesitated and couldn't speak. It was Nan Yu who asked, "Mom, is something wrong?"
The baby in Chen's mother's arms had a small, curled tongue. When it saw Nan Yu, it stretched out its arms, wanting its brother to hold it. Nan Yu took it, took out a tissue from its pocket, and wiped the baby's drool.
Chen's mother hesitated, then brought out a stool and placed it behind Nan Yu: "Sit down."
Holding the baby was inconvenient, so Nan Yu glanced back to avoid sitting crookedly. Chen's mother also brought out her other younger brother, hooked a stool with her foot, and sat down next to the lamp wick, placing her rough, wrinkled, hardworking hands on her son's knees.
Nan Yu wasn't used to it.
I subconsciously turned my leg away.
Chen's mother glanced at her rough hands, then looked at her son with his fair skin, and quickly took her hands away, looking slightly embarrassed. Nan Yu was also embarrassed.
He wasn't disgusted, he just wasn't used to being touched by others.
Explanation: "Mom, I'm not used to being touched by others, I didn't mean anything by it."
Chen's mother stiffly forced a smile and shook her head: "It's nothing, Mom wants to talk to you about something."
Nan Yu: "Please speak."
Chen's mother: "Are you being so polite to your mother because you're upset with her?"
Nan Yu was taken aback, then realized the reason and explained, "In my previous family, I always addressed my elders as 'you,' I didn't mean to blame you."
I'll only use you when I'm really angry.
Chen's mother didn't think that way. The polite, distant tone of her words made her want her son to be closer to her, but she didn't know how to bring it up. She remained silent for a long time, feeling guilty, helpless, and sad...
Nan Yu sighed and said, "Alright, Mom, you go ahead."
Chen's mother smiled then, glancing at her handsome eldest son and then at the youngest son in his arms. She felt content with her life, but the thought that Nan Yu wouldn't be able to stay for more than a few days made her sad.
She actually knew from the beginning.
The bodyguard mentioned it when he brought the person over.
