Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

Liu Xunwu felt so distressed after hearing what his little daughter said. He turned to Ma Qiuhong and asked, "Mom, didn't you let the three of them eat the meat this morning?"

Ma Qiuhong had never expected that Liu Qing, who had always endured it, would tell her son about not letting the three of them eat meat in the morning. However, even so, she was still arrogant and said, "Your nephew has never eaten meat at home, so what's wrong with him eating more here?"

Liu Qing looked at Liu Xunwu sarcastically. In the past, whenever he said something bad about his mother, he would make excuses and say that he didn't know how to handle the problem. Now, let him see how difficult his mother is.

Liu Xunwu looked at his chubby nephew, then at his two thin daughters, and a feeling of heartache spread in his heart.

They had never eaten meat at home, so how could they eat meat here? It was a difficult time for the country, so wasn't it normal that they couldn't eat meat? How could my mother and nephew be more noble than my daughter and wife?

He is somewhat patriarchal and regrets that he has no son, but compared with his wife and daughter and nephew, his wife and daughter are of course more important.

He looked at Ma Qiuhong and asked, "Mom, should we put Aiguo first in everything? If Aiguo doesn't have enough to eat, then neither of my two daughters can eat? It's the same even if I earned all that!"

Ma Qiuhong looked at her expressionless son and felt that she had gone too far, but she insisted: "Patriotism is to continue our family line. If not him, who else should I focus on?"

"So, my Aihong and Aiqing can't eat the meat I earn, but only Aiguo can?"

"This, this," Ma Qiuhong was speechless and stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Dad, my brother Aiguo said that everything in our house will be his in the future, and my sister and I will also receive our betrothal gifts. Dad, what is the betrothal gift?"

At this moment, Liu Xunwu's youngest daughter Liu Aiqing asked Liu Xunwu naively.

"Mom, everything in my house will belong to Liu Aiguo in the future? My daughter's betrothal gift will also be given to Liu Aiguo in the future? Is this what you told him?"

Liu Xunwu's eyes were filled with anger.

He always knew that his parents favored his eldest brother, but he never knew that they had always treated his family as a tool to make money for his eldest brother's family, and even had their eyes on their daughter's marriage.

He had heard that some elderly people would sell their daughters to some ugly guys for a high bride price. After hearing what his youngest daughter said, he was sure that if possible, his own mother would also dare to sell her own daughter for a high price.

If that was the case, what was the point of working so hard to earn military merit? Was it to raise a son or even a grandson for my brother?

He looked at his guilty mother and stopped talking. It was only then that he realized why his wife was so opposed to his promise to let his mother take care of him during the confinement period.

Tomorrow, he will definitely call home and ask them to send someone to pick up his mother. He can't afford to have such family members.

If my father doesn't come to pick her up, I will take a leave of absence to send her away. As for the 20 yuan I send to her every month, I will not give it to her for the time being. To a family that doesn't treat me as a relative, no matter how much I send, it will be too little in their eyes, and they may even take it for granted.

Rather than that, I might as well stop sending money. I have done my best over the years. From now on, whether my eldest brother's family is good or bad, it depends on them.

Liu Xunwu sat down at the dining table and started eating alone without asking his mother whether she had eaten.

Liu Aiguo was a little at a loss when he saw that his uncle was only concerned with eating and didn't ask him at all. He was already seven or eight years old and had basic judgment about things.

He dared to act domineeringly in front of Liu Aihong and Liu Aiqing because they were submissive in front of their grandmother and dared not resist. But in front of Liu Xunwu, his grandmother was like a quail, so he naturally did not dare to provoke her.

His stomach growled, so he shook Ma Qiuhong's arm and whispered, "Grandma, I'm hungry."

Ma Qiuhong was also very hungry at this time. She thought her son would ask her, but her son ignored her.

She said hesitantly, "Xunwu, Aiguo is hungry."

Liu Xunwu said calmly, "What does it have to do with me if he's hungry? He's not my son. My own daughter can't even eat, so why would I bother to care about others?"

"This is your nephew, how can you say it's someone else? If you don't have a son, you'll be counting on him to take care of you in your old age." Ma Qiulan immediately retorted when she heard her son say this.

Liu Xunwu sneered: "Take care of me until my old age? Haha, I have a daughter of my own, I don't need a nephew to take care of her. Besides, how do you know that Liu Qing didn't give birth to a son this time? Or are you planning to do something while Liu Qing is giving birth?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What can I do? You have no conscience, but I am your mother!" Ma Qiuhong was scolded by her son for a few words, but she did not get angry. Instead, she asked her grandson to sit at the dining table and comforted him: "Aiguo, there are steamed buns and vegetables on the table. Eat first, I will bring you a bowl of soup."

Seeing that his mother did not get angry but just kept coaxing his nephew to eat, Liu Xunwu couldn't help feeling suspicious.

If it were any other day, my mother would definitely sit on the ground, yelling and fussing, scolding me for being unfilial, and threatening me. Why was she so easy to talk to today? Could it be that my mother really wanted to do something to her unborn child?

Thinking of the recent news that the old leader's daughter was switched with a country woman at birth, Liu Xunwu couldn't help but shudder.

Regardless of whether the mother would harm her own child or not, for the sake of safety, she cannot be allowed to stay here any longer.

Wei Yuchen was taking some sour dates and dried sweet potatoes to deliver to Liu Tuan's home. Before she reached the door, she heard some quarreling inside. Although it wasn't loud, she could still hear it clearly.

Giving gifts at this time would definitely be a bummer, so Wei Yuchen would naturally not do such an embarrassing thing.

So, she put the things into the space, took out a small shovel, and then pretended to shovel the soil here and dig holes there in her own private plot, and by the way, listened to the gossip about Captain Liu's family.

Only when the voices inside gradually faded away did she return to the yard with a look of unsatisfied feeling on her face.

After listening to Wei Yuchen's gossip about Captain Liu's family, Geng Changshuo couldn't help but sigh: "Every family has its own problems."

However, Wei Yuchen's idea was different from his. Wei Yuchen thought: Fortunately, I don't have a mother-in-law. If I did, I would be annoyed to death by her.
