Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

The two of them swore at each other without caring about anything, so Yang Xiaocao, who lived in the next room, could hear it all clearly.

Later, Yang Laogen took all the blame for Yang Dashu's future and was sent to a farm for forced labor. Ma Chenggong and Luo Datong came several times.

Of course, compared to Luo Datong, the young, strong and wealthy Ma Chenggong was more popular with Zhang Zhaodi. Of course, Zhang Zhaodi treated Ma Chenggong with more care and attention than she treated Luo Datong.

Ma Chenggong was so happy that he visited Zhang Zhaodi more often. If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Xiao Cao happened to see him once or twice.

It was also by chance one or two times that Ma successfully set his sights on Yang Xiaocao.

When Ma Chenggong promised Zhang Zhaodi a 200 yuan gift and wanted to marry Yang Xiaocao, Zhang Zhaodi was a little hesitant at first. After all, mother and daughter share one son. How could she think? So disgusting!

But when Ma Chenggong promised to give Zhang Zhaodi 100 yuan as a change of name in addition to the 200 yuan betrothal gift, Zhang Zhaodi agreed without hesitation.

It is because Yang Xiaocao knows the relationship between Ma Chenggong and Zhang Zhaodi that she thinks Ma Chenggong is dirty.

When Zhang Zhaodi heard this, she was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she burst out laughing:

"Silly girl, let me check him out for you first to see if he is a real man. But he is much better than your father, that loser. I promise that he will make you unable to stop.

To be honest, if it wasn't for you, I really wouldn't be willing to give him to someone else. But don't worry, I promise I won't compete with you for him, what do you care about! With me checking for you, he won't have any unfaithful thoughts. You can rest assured. I promise to find you a real man."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaocao almost dropped her jaw in shock. She felt that her mother's shamelessness was unmatched. But thinking about what her mother had just said, and thinking about the wedding night...it seemed that she was no longer so uncomfortable, and no longer hated Ma Chenggong so much.

But she didn't know that she could not afford such a man...

Time flies, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it will snow soon. Wei Yuchen took the new sweaters he had knitted for Mrs. Wei and Mr. Wei, and hurried to the old house.

When she arrived, there were two women sitting in her grandparents' house, and Old Mrs. Wei was accompanying them.

Wei Yuchen knew these two people. One was her third aunt and the other was her third aunt's sister. The original owner followed the way the children of her third aunt called her second aunt.

Wei Yuchen knew that her third aunt and her second sister had been orphans since childhood, and had to rely on others to direct many things in their lives. They could not see things clearly and had suffered a lot. After her third aunt got married, she liked to let Old Lady Wei check some major matters.

The third aunt has a good relationship with her second sister. Whenever the second sister has any troubles, she likes to sit with the old lady.

Wei Yuchen greeted the two: "Third Aunt, Second Aunt, you are here."

"Well, Chenchen, your second aunt hasn't been here for a while, so I brought her to see your grandma. Why are you here?" said Aunt Wei San.

"Isn't it the weather? I knitted a sweater for my grandparents and sent it to them. It's just right to put it under their clothes to keep warm. My grandparents are old and can't stand the cold, so they have to keep warm."

Wei Yuchen said as he took out the sweater from his bag, compared it to the old lady and said:

"Grandma, try it on before you go to bed and see if there's anything that doesn't fit. I'll come back tomorrow to alter it for you."

Touching the soft sweater and looking at the knitted sweater with fine stitches and unique patterns, Mrs. Wei was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She kept praising: "Chenchen is really filial. Look at how skillful my granddaughter is. This sweater is so beautiful. I feel warm at a glance. I never thought that I could wear such a high-end sweater in my lifetime."

After delivering the sweater, Wei Yuchen was about to leave. Third Aunt brought her sister to look for her grandmother, so there must be something going on, and it was not appropriate for him to stay there.

Grandma Wei said, "Chenchen, you are not a child anymore, so sit down and listen. This will broaden your horizons and help you be more careful in the future."

The third aunt looked at her younger sister, and her younger sister nodded indifferently.

Grandma Wei asked, "Where were we talking about just now?"

Second Aunt tapped her knees again and again with her hands, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"We were talking about this fall, when it was going to rain, my mother-in-law was helping the third son's family collect clothes, and she broke her leg without paying attention. Now she is bedridden and unable to take care of herself.

My husband has three brothers, and he is the second oldest. My father-in-law favors the eldest son, and my mother-in-law favors the youngest son. Only he is the one who is bullied.

So, the three brothers discussed it and wanted me to quit my job to take care of the elderly. They said that the eldest and third brothers would give me 10 yuan a month as hard work compensation.

They said that my eldest sister-in-law's sons had married and were too old to take care of the old lady. And she had a new grandson, so she had to stay at home and take care of him."

Although the third brother's family is dual-income, they have three children. The eldest has just started working and is about to get married, and the two younger ones are in high school and elementary school respectively. These are spending money periods, and the family is burdened with heavy expenses, so they cannot go home to take care of the elderly.

My family is the only one that's about the same. My husband and I are a teacher and a doctor respectively. We both have good incomes and few children. We only have one boy who is only in high school. He doesn't cost much and is sensible and obedient, so we don't have to worry about him.

"What do you mean?" asked Mrs. Wei.

"I mean, either we can hire a nanny, or each family can take turns to have one for a month, a quarter, or even a year. But the eldest and the third brother both said they couldn't spare the time.

In fact, saying that you don’t have time or that you are too old are just excuses. It’s not that you don’t want to serve the old lady.

It is true that I have few children, but don’t they know? Why do I have few children? Is it because we can’t have children? It’s because we don’t dare to have children.

When the family was divided, the eldest son was favored by his father and the youngest son was favored by his mother. Only my son was like an orphan without a father or a mother. He got nothing except a room. It was no different from being kicked out of the house.

Over the years, in order not to delay work and to give our children a better quality of life, my husband and I have worked very hard, covering for others and doing manual work. There is nothing I haven’t done. Now that our lives are just getting better, this has happened…”

As she spoke, my second aunt started crying.
