The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 67: The Biased Old Wife

Wang Xiang saw that Shen's father was angry, so she got up and left. Although Shen's mother seemed to be the boss at home, it was Shen's father who had the final say.

Xiao Baoer prepared ingredients at home and made shrimp, tofu and kelp soup for the three children. They ate white flour buns as the staple food. The three children loved to eat rice with soup.

She heard the noise outside and knew that with Shen's mother around, Wang Xiang would not be able to take advantage. In addition, Xiao Baoer really didn't want to argue with Wang Xiang and waste time, so she didn't go out.

It's not that she has much confidence in Shen's mother, but the family has been divided in front of everyone. Unless Shen's mother has been brainwashed by the first wife, it is impossible for her to let the first wife eat the third wife's food for free.

She was not afraid of Xiao Baoer getting angry, but she was also afraid of the gossip of the villagers, saying that she was mistreating the third family and using the third room's things to fill the first room's space.

However, Xiao Baoer was still very satisfied with the performance of Shen's father and mother today. As long as they didn't use the third room's things to supplement the other sons, and as long as they treated everyone equally, Xiao Baoer would support Shen Zhensheng in being filial in the future.

But if several families all suck blood from Shen Zhensheng, Xiao Baoer will never tolerate the other families.

The cook cleaned up the pots and pans and went home. The boiled water was enough for drinking for the afternoon, so he was ready to come back in the afternoon to help prepare the afternoon meal.

Xiao Baoer has already told everyone that she will help make white flour buns and fry a large pot of egg sauce in the afternoon. They can take the sauce and buns home to eat.

The reason for this arrangement is that many people who work want to save food for their wives and children at home. Nowadays, every family is short of food, and if they can eat such good food, they naturally cannot forget their children and wives.

The three children were coaxed to sleep after playing for a while. Xiao Baoer came out and boiled a big pot of mung bean soup. After peeling the beans, she put them in a big bucket. She couldn't carry it by herself, so she had to go out and call Shen's father and Shen Laoer for help.

"Dad, second brother, I made mung bean soup for everyone, come and help me take it out."

When Xiao Baoer said this, the people working there exploded again.

I was given meat and soup in the morning, and mung bean soup in the afternoon. It was really worthwhile work. I didn't expect to get such a good job before the food was distributed.

Shen's father and second brother brought out two large buckets of mung bean soup and each person got two bowls. Xiao Baoer also put a lot of rock sugar in it, which made it taste sweet to the heart.

After drinking it, I worked even harder.

At the old house, the fourth room had wild vegetable porridge in the morning. Even the youngest Sixiu was fed wild vegetable porridge by Daxiu. Li Sanni kept complaining that the third room had such good food when building the house, while she could only eat wild vegetables.

"Are you f*cking done yet? You keep talking and crying, one by one, you've cried away all my blessings."

Shen Laosi threw his chopsticks in a rage, scaring the four children so much that they started crying even harder.

Li Sanni and Shen Laosi were arguing fiercely.

"Why are you yelling at me? You are such a useless person. You can only let your wife and children eat wild vegetables, and you still have the nerve to lose your temper."

"Then I'll go help. Didn't you stop me from going? Now I can't eat well, and you're still nagging here."

In the morning, Shen's mother called Shen Laoer and his wife to go to work. Shen Laosi also wanted to go. His third brother had always had a grudge against him, so he had to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

But Li Sanni refused to let them go, saying that the Third Room had never given them any benefits, so why should they go to help? They had to wait for Shen Lao San to invite them.

Shen Laosi was persuaded by Li Sanni and waited for Shen Laosan to come the whole morning, but he didn't even show up, let alone come to invite him.

I could only smell the stew that Room Three had prepared for the workers in the morning. It smelled so good, so a lot of meat must have been put in it.

Li Sanni chased Shen Laosi to the backyard to ask for meat. Before Shen Laosi left the house, Wang Xiang was slapped back by Shen's mother. Shen Laosi could not get out of the door and could only turn around and go back to the house to eat wild vegetable porridge.

"Then am I wrong? Why should I work for them for free?"

Shen's mother did not tell the brothers about what Xiao Baoer said one day about giving them fifty cents in addition to two meals a day. She just wanted to see which of the brothers would go to help. The result was as expected by Shen's father and mother. Only the second brother and his wife went to help.

Shen's mother just sighed and didn't say anything. The eldest and the fourth sons were short-sighted. Even if the third son's family didn't give them money, according to the temperament of the third son and his wife, they would not treat them badly. But her sons didn't think it through, so who could she blame?

"Then why do you want to eat other people's food? If you want to eat, go and ask for it. My sister-in-law has been beaten back by my mother. If you want to be beaten back to your mother's house to serve your family of wolves and tigers, you can get out now and take all these money-losing things you gave birth to with you. Stop eating my food at home."

"Shen Zhenping, you are such a heartless person. You still want to chase me away? You are dreaming. As long as I stay here, you can forget about letting other vixens come in. You are a useless person, and your mother is a biased old woman. Do you think anyone will marry you?"

Li Sanni sat on the ground and made a scene. Shen Zhenping was too angry to bother talking to her and just lay down on the bed to sleep. Daxiu and her three younger sisters were beaten by Li Sanni and they hid in the yard crying.

When Shen's mother came back, the four girls were crying. When she saw the slap marks on their bodies, Shen's mother rushed into the house, dragged Li Sanni to the yard, and scolded her, slapping her many times on the face and body.

"It's true that she's your daughter, but she's also the granddaughter of my Shen family. If you dare to hit my granddaughter like this again, today is just an appetizer for you. I'll slap you to death in the face, you bitch. You were raised by a stepmother, right? How dare you treat your own flesh and blood like this?"

Shen's mother pointed at Li Sanni who was lying on the ground and cursed her.

"You have been married for so many years and have not given birth to a son. I have never tortured you. But you keep asking for more. I will not be polite to you anymore. If you continue to act like a demon, I will personally send you back to your parents' home. I want to see whether the son I give birth to will choose me as his mother or you, a chicken that doesn't lay eggs."

Li Sanni knew Shen's mother's temper. If she made trouble again, she would definitely be sent home. If she was sent home, her mother would definitely sell her for the betrothal money.

Although the girls in the fourth and first rooms are pitiful, Xiao Baoer would never be so kind as to suggest raising one of the girls. That would not be poverty alleviation and no one would be grateful to you. They would just think that after raising one you can raise another and you would just be constantly sucked dry.

If the couples of the first and fourth wives were honest and upright, Xiao Baoer wouldn't mind lending a hand, but they were obviously not.

They showed the most greedy side of human nature vividly. Moreover, the eldest wife was the one who bullied her son before, so Xiao Baoer was already doing her utmost by not adding insult to injury.

When Shen's mother saw the four little girls crying with snot running down their noses, she felt very distressed, but she had no choice. If she raised these little girls, what would her other sons think? Even if the third and second sons' families didn't care, the eldest son's family would be in a big fuss. What's more, how could the third and second sons' families not have any objections?

Shen's mother couldn't say that she would give the little girl to the third brother's family to raise. Not only would Xiao Baoer not accept it, she would also fall out with her, which would make the third brother feel disheartened. The third brother's family has always had a temperament that Shen's mother could never control. Besides, the third brother and his wife are young and will probably have their own daughter soon. Why should they raise a child for the fourth brother?
