Chapter 43 Back to Mother's Home

Mrs Xu hasn't been home for a day. I don't know if she is afraid that the second couple will fight again, or because she used the family's money to fill the hole for the second brother.

Xu Laosan slept until evening, which was completely awake. He only felt that his eyes were sore and swollen, and his temples were also very painful. He thought about his family and couldn't stay in the old house for a while and wanted to go home.

Old Xu suddenly stopped him and said, "Lao San, you can use this first. Don't tell your mother." After saying that, he took out two pieces of silver from his arms and stuffed them in Xu Laosan's hand.

Xu Laosan took it over and weighed it for a moment. He couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Dad, where did you get the silver?"

The old man didn't want to explain more, but said, "What do you ask so many questions? Anyway, it's not stolen. After a long time, Lao Si has been asked to go to the city to get medicine. If there is no delay on the road, he should come back at night. It is serious to take medicine for Xing'erniang quickly. Lingzi is helping to take care of the children and take care of her in your house. You should also go back quickly. Don't worry about the family. In the end, I couldn't help telling him, "You can keep it. Don't mention it to others, especially don't let your mother know."

"Don't let me know?" Mrs. Xu came in from the outside and only heard the last sentence. She subconsciously asked. When she saw the unnatural look of the old man, she suddenly became alert and looked at the two suspiciously and asked, "What have you done? Why are you hiding it from me?"

"What can we do? I'd like to ask you what you are going to do today!" Old Xu did not answer the question, but accused him back. "I have already told the second brother to pay back the money by himself. You stole the family's money behind my back to pay him. I haven't told you yet, but you will make a rake!"

Only then did Mrs. Xu remember what she had done today and suddenly lost her confidence and said, "Well... those who put the money can do anything. If they don't pay back the money... What if the second brother has something good or bad?"

"If he is really afraid of something good or evil, he won't gamble, let alone borrow money." Old Xu said angrily, "If you borrow it, you can pay it back and take the family's money to fill the hole in him. This life is too much!"

"He also knows that he is wrong now, and he will definitely not be like this in the future. Don't be blind." Mrs. Xu said impatiently, "What time has it been? What did Lao Si do? Why didn't Lingzi come back? It's a cold cooker, and I can't live this life.

"Lizi is helping at the third house. You don't know how to come back to cook when you go out all afternoon, and you still have the face to say that you are a daughter." Old Xu turned to Xu Laosan and said, "Why don't you go back quickly? What are you doing here?"

"Hmm..." Xu Laosan withdrew his eyes from Mrs. Xu and couldn't say what it was like. He said in a complicated mood, "Dad, I'll go back first."

As if she had forgotten what happened in the afternoon, Mrs. Xu rolled up her sleeves and was ready to cook. She raised her hand and pulled away Xu Laosan in front of her.

"When--" Two pieces of silver fell out of Xu Laosan's sleeve.

"This is..." Mrs. Xu picked up the broken silver and asked, "Where did this silver come from?"

Lao Xu opened his mouth and lied, "I borrowed it for my third daughter-in-law to see a doctor." With that, I wanted to get back those two pieces of silver.

Old Mrs. Xu didn't believe it at all. She grabbed two pieces of silver and said, "Borrow it? It's easy to say, but in the afternoon, where can you borrow money? How many families in the village can take advantage of it? Even if there is, will they lend it to you?

Old Xu was about to say something more, but Xu Laosan suddenly stretched out his hand, directly grabbed Mrs. Xu's wrist, took back the two pieces of silver, and turned away without saying a word.

Old Mrs. Xu's mood suddenly broke down and said, "You two don't pay attention to me now. I hide private money behind my back. My son now ignores my mother. What did I do in my last life? I will be bullied like this in my life..."

Old Xu also became more and more impatient and shook his hand and said, "Your mother-in-law has become more and more unreasonable in recent years. Hurry up and cook. What time has it been?"

"I'm not your cook." Mrs. Xu jumped up angrily and tore up with the old Xu's head and said, "You have suffered all your life. When you get old, you have to cook for you, and you still have to hide private money behind my back. You are a conscienceless old bastard..."

"I'll go to Lao San's house and have a look. You can go crazy by yourself!" Old Xu shook the man away and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Only Mrs. Xu was left at home. She sat on the ground alone and cried for a long time. No one paid attention to her and no one came to persuade her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved she got up, entered the room and began to pack her bags, and shed tears while packing up.

After a while, Xu Lingzi came back to cook. She was shocked and quickly said, "Mom, where are you going?"

"I want to go back to my mother's house. Your father and brother don't like me. Why do I bother to stay here to please people?" When Mrs. Xu saw someone coming back, she suddenly had an attack again, "I'm going to avoid it. It has nothing to do with me what they will do in the future, and I won't be annoying here."

"...But grandma's family has been separated for a long time. Grandma is now living in my uncle's house. Mom, you go back..." Before Xu Lingzi finished speaking, she realized that this was wrong and quickly saved it. "Mom, I mean, Dad is angry about the second brother's matter today. If you have a few words, don't take it to heart. There is no need to go back to my mother's house.

"You don't have to pretend to be with me. I know that you guys are one-minded and have disliked me for a long time. I'll hide away from you so as not to please you." Mrs. Xu took the burden and walked out angrily.

Xu Lingzi tried to persuade her not to go back to her mother's house, but no matter what she said, she would be misled. She was already complaining and dissatisfied with her. At this time, she was even more angry and simply shook her hand: "Mom, if you have to leave, I can't stop you. There are a lot of things to do at home. Can you stop making trouble about the little things of sesame and mung beans?

After all, Mrs. Xu went back to her mother's house with a burden. Xu Lingzi did not have the strength to cook at home and waited for Mr. Xu and Xu Laosi to go home for dinner.

Xu Laosi came back from the town and sent the medicine to Xu Xinger's house and said, "I have caught the medicine for three days, but my sister-in-law took it first. When the next time the doctor sees it, I will catch the medicine."

Xu Laosan asked, "How much is the medicine?"

"Third brother, don't think so much about this. My father gave me the money for the medicine this time. It's serious for you to take good care of your sister-in-law." Xu Laoshi put all the medicine on the cabinet in the stove and went back with Mr. Xu.

Xu Xinger looked at Xu Laosan with some guilt, but after only half a day, his whole body was much haggard. Usually, no matter how hard and tired his eyes were, he was full of confusion and fatigue.

"Dad..." Xu Xinger twisted a handkerchief and handed it to him, "My mother just drank some porridge, and now I'm asleep. You can wipe your face and eat something. I'll give my mother some medicine."

"Hmm." Xu Laosan nodded absent-mindedly and went straight into the room to see Ye.

Ye Shi has indeed fallen asleep, and his face is still so pale. His lips are usually pink, and at this time, they are unhealthy pink and white. She slept uneasily, perhaps because she was uncomfortable. She frowned, curled up slightly, and her right hand gently grasped the skirt of her chest.

Xu Laosan was distressed. He reached out and lifted the broken hair on her forehead and hung it behind his ears. He sat on the edge of the kang and whispered, "I know that you haven't lived a good life since you married me, and you have to be dragged me to serve the elderly and take care of the children... It's all because I don't have the ability to make you live a better life. Now you have fallen Illness of the body.

"You are good at everything, but you think too much about everything. It's good to live a simple and happy life. You just want to think about things, and you can't wait to make others live a satisfactory life, but you won't think too much about yourself." Xu Laosan took Ye's hand and continued, "If you want me to say, your problem is that you think too much. The doctors say that you think too much."

"So you will take good care of your illness this time. Don't think about anything. Don't worry about whether you have money at home. Don't be able to cure it. You are only responsible for taking good care of yourself. Even if you don't look at me, you also have to do it for the sake of the sake of the children. Peach and chestnuts are still so small. How pitiful would it be if they become children without a mother?"

Xu Laosan felt uncomfortable. He sat next to Ye and kept talking. He didn't know whether he said it to Ye or to himself.

Xu Xinger pulled out the medicine hanging and brushed it clean, put all the medicine in it and soaked it. When she turned around and was ready to enter the room, she heard Xu Laosan say, "I know you have always wanted to separate, but you know that you are filial and never mentioned this to me. I told my father today that he wanted to separate, so Dad didn't say yes, but don't worry, I will stick to it this time. When we close the door and live our own little life in the future, whether they quarrel or gamble, they have nothing to do with us..."

"Dad..." Xu Xinger came in gently and called, then took out the red cloth bag from the kang and said guiltily, "This is when I visited my teacher. My master's gift is a four-leaf ginseng. At noon, I was a little blindfolded, and I didn't expect this. Dad was going to worry about it in the afternoon. Right?"

Xu Laosan didn't open it immediately. He stared at the cloth bag for a long time, and stuffed it back into Xu Xing'er's hand and said, "Since it was given by your master, you can keep it first and don't mention it to others. Now our family can still afford to take medicine for your mother. As long as you help take good care of your brother and sister and make your mother happy, you will be of great help to your mother.
