The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Zhao was even more pitiful. He fought alone every time, but was defeated again and again.

However, today's scare was enough to make Zhao restrain himself a lot.

After all, apart from her good-for-nothing son Jiang Youfu, what she cared about most was her grandson who was still in her infancy.

Su Yu turned and left, his steps calm and his back revealed an indescribable arrogance.

Jiang Ziling followed closely, full of curiosity about the conversation between Su Yu and Zhao: "What did you say to her? Why did she suddenly become quiet?"

Su Yu turned his head, a playful smile appeared on his face, which was in sharp contrast to his fierce image just now: "Guess."

She answered in a mysterious way, which made Jiang Ziling laugh, so he had to give up.

Back in the house, Su Yu saw Xier standing next to the backpack. She was grabbing plump mulberries with her little hands and eating them with relish. Her little mouth was stained black, but she still gave Su Yu a sweet smile.

This scene instantly melted the ice in Su Yu's heart. She couldn't help but walk forward, gently pinched Xier's pink face, and scolded with a smile: "You clever little ghost, come and find food for yourself!"

Xier giggled, with an innocent light twinkling in her clear eyes, bringing a rare touch of warmth and tranquility to this afternoon filled with grudges and disputes.

Xier was holding with a smile a mulberry that had been squeezed with her small fingers until it was juicy. The mulberry had been completely changed beyond recognition, and the black juice was dripping down her fingertips, as if telling the story of its short but lively life.

She carefully handed this "masterpiece" to Su Yu, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Su Yu looked at the poor mulberry and couldn't help but frowning slightly. He really couldn't muster up any appetite at all.

However, facing Xier's bright eyes and her determined look of "not having to eat", Su Yu knew that refusing would be the biggest betrayal of the child's innocent enthusiasm.

So she suppressed her smile, pretended to be calm, took the mulberry, and took a light bite.

Although the juice stained the corners of his lips, Su Yu still showed a gentle smile in Xier's expectant eyes, gently kissed her pink cheek, and said with a smile: "It's so sweet, Xier is really good at choosing. Since you like it, then eat more."

She turned around and picked up the wooden basin filled with tempting mulberries. The mulberries were like plump purple gems inlaid in it, emitting a faint fragrance that made people salivate.

She said to Jiang Ziling, "I want to give these mulberries to my eldest sister-in-law. They have many children and they will surely like them."

Jiang Ziling smiled and nodded, his eyes showing approval and understanding: "Indeed, sister-in-law will gladly accept these delicious gifts."

Su Yu held the wooden basin in his hand and walked briskly towards Xie Xinghua's house.

However, when she arrived at the door, she found it closed and silent.

She knocked on the door gently, her voice soft and kind: "Sister-in-law, it's me, Su Yu."

Xie Xinghua, who was in the room, felt her heart tighten when she heard the voice.

She closed the door to isolate herself from the complicated trivialities outside and to protect the rare peace in her home.

Now, she was quite surprised when someone suddenly knocked on the door to visit her.

The three little girls in the house looked at each other. They looked at their mother, but seeing that she didn't say anything, they didn't dare to open the door.

Xie Xinghua hesitated for a moment before responding through the door: "Second brother's wife, what's the matter?"

Su Yu was a little confused. The other party just answered but did not open the door. Perhaps Jiang Wangshan was changing clothes in the room and it was inconvenient to disturb him.

She patiently explained, "Sister-in-law, I picked some fresh wild fruits on the mountain yesterday and brought them here for you to try."

"No need, second brother and sister-in-law..."

Before Xie Xinghua finished her words, Sanya, who was squatting on the ground playing attentively, suddenly heard the word "wild fruit". Her eyes lit up instantly and she jumped up excitedly. Without waiting for her mother to stop her, she opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Xie Xinghua and Su Yu were both stunned.

San Ya poked out her round little head, looked Su Yu up and down with her bright eyes, and exclaimed in a childish voice: "So you are the second aunt, so beautiful!"

Su Yu was amused by San Ya's innocence. She smiled in response and handed the wooden basin to San Ya: "This is the wild fruit I picked in the mountains. It's fresh and delicious. You can share it."

San Ya's eyes lit up and she immediately took it like a greedy cat, eager to taste it.

Seeing this, Xie Xinghua wanted to stop it but it was too late, so she could only helplessly call out: "San Ya, slow down..."

Su Yu noticed that the other children in the room were also looking at the pot of mulberries eagerly, and asked Xie Xinghua in confusion: "Sister-in-law, they are just some wild fruits, why are you so reluctant?"

Xie Xinghua looked embarrassed and was unable to speak for a moment.

San Ya answered for her mother while eating: "Mother was afraid that grandma would scold us if she knew, so she didn't dare to accept Second Aunt's things."

When Su Yu heard this, he immediately understood the reason.

She was not surprised that Zhao might do such a thing.

Seeing that Su Yu seemed to have guessed it, Xie Xinghua explained awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, don't blame me. My current situation is already very difficult. If I go against my mother-in-law's wishes, my life will only become more difficult."

"You have a strained relationship with her. If she knew that we often interacted, she would probably take the opportunity to make things difficult for me."

Xie Xinghua's words revealed her anxiety to draw a clear line between the two. Although Su Yu felt deeply sorry about this, she knew that everyone had their own difficulties, and choosing to respect was the best way to deal with it.

"I understand, sister-in-law, I won't make things difficult for you."

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then gently advised, "In life, you have to fight for the kind of life you want to live. If you just swallow your anger, your life will only fall into endless darkness.

Maybe we can work together to find a way to allow children to enjoy these delicacies without causing trouble.”

If Zhao was a considerate and grateful person, perhaps Xie Xinghua could live a more peaceful life.

However, the reality is not like this. Which of the trivial and complicated affairs of the family is not handled by Xie Xinghua alone? From firewood, rice, oil and salt to food, clothing, housing and transportation, from taking care of the sick elder brother to raising young children, she is like a spinning top that never stops, spinning alone in the whirlpool of life.

As for the work in the fields, it was impossible to expect the three young girls to share much.

Xie Xinghua tried her best and put in so much hard work and sweat, but she couldn't even get a full meal and had to endure Zhao's face. This kind of life made her physically and mentally exhausted.

Today, Su Yu and Xie Xinghua opened their hearts to each other and expressed everything in their hearts, all out of deep affection for their blood connection.

She said earnestly, "I have nothing to say to you today, because you are connected to my elder brother and Ziling by blood, and the bond between us is inseparable. Think about it carefully. Only by resisting can you break free from this difficult situation and regain the dignity and peace you deserve."
