Feng Xiangmei looked unhappy, and her brows furrowed deeply as she looked at the three sisters Wan An Ning.

She was pleased that her three daughters were willing to follow her, but... raising three children was not an easy task. Feng Xiangmei couldn't help but worry about her future livelihood.

Wan An Ning saw what she was thinking, stepped forward to support her, and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother, I have grown up, and I will help you take care of your sister in the future."

Feng Xiangmei nodded and went into the house without saying anything.

At dinner, Feng Xiangmei had no appetite. She ate just a few bites and went back to her room to sleep.

She tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, when she suddenly woke up, as if she had thought of something. She turned on the light and rummaged through the boxes and drawers, only to find that the place where she had hidden the passbook was now empty. She couldn't help but feel sad...

Wan Guofu actually took away the last bit of the family fortune. He was deliberately trying to leave no way for mother and daughter to survive!

Wan An Ning, who had been paying attention to the movements in the east room, heard Feng Xiangmei crying. Worried that she would do something stupid, she ran over without even putting on her shoes.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't be sad. Even without dad, you still have us. My sisters and I have grown up and will definitely be filial to you in the future. Don't be sad. When I make a lot of money, I will find you a handsome old man who is much more handsome than dad. Then you can let dad cry over that black bear demon..."

Feng Xiangmei, who was originally crying sadly, suddenly heard Wan An Ning describe Yang Chunhua as a "black bear spirit" and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Mom, you're smiling, that's great. We can't help crying for that unfaithful old man, Dad. We have many good days ahead of us. If we have to cry, it should be for that blind old man, Dad."

Feng Xiangmei wiped away her tears, thinking that all the money she had saved was taken away by that damn Wan Guofu. He didn't give her a penny of the money he earned this time. She didn't even have a hundred yuan in her hand, and she didn't know how she would live in the future!

Thinking of this, she became very worried: "What good life can we have? There is no one to earn money at home. We can only rely on those few acres of land to feed you sisters and keep you from starving. We should thank God for that. How can we have a good life?

Alas, I don’t want to think about anything else now. Given the situation in our family, I don’t know whether you three sisters can find a husband. In a few years, when you three sisters have found a husband and are married, I will have nothing to worry about. By then, I will be old and can’t work on the farm anymore. The village will have taken back the land by then. I won’t be a burden to you. If things really don’t work out, I will go out and beg for food with a stick…”

At the end of the story, Feng Xiangmei couldn't help but hold back her tears.

Wan An Ning only felt a pang of sadness. Feng Xiangmei was worried that it would be difficult for her sisters to find a husband. In fact, she was also worried about the rumors in the village. After all, there were not many divorced women in the village, let alone those who still lived at home after divorce like them. There were even fewer of them.

Even if Feng Xiangmei did nothing wrong in the divorce, the gossipers in the village would still gossip about her. What was even more frightening was that the family was full of women, and the village scoundrels and widows would climb over the wall at night. Even if they were beaten out, the reputation of the women in the family would be ruined...

So although Wan An Ning asked Wan Guofu for the family house on behalf of Feng Xiangmei, she had no intention of living in the village permanently. She sniffed, patted Feng Xiangmei on the back and said, "Mom, don't say such discouraging words. Don't worry, I'm grown up now. I will go out to make money. When I make money, we will buy a house in the city and move our family to the city. By then, Jingjing and Pingping will go to college, and we will look for a husband in the city, someone who can honor my mother with me. Mom will help me take care of the children then..."

Wan An Ning talked about her vision for the future, and Feng Xiangmei listened. Although she knew that her daughter was comforting her, she couldn't help but show a look of longing.

Alas, buying a house in the city and settling down in the city is a good idea, but it is not that easy!

When Wan An Ning returned to the west room, Feng Xiangmei touched her belly, which was not yet visible, and made a secret decision in her heart.

"An An, take me to Ersu Market by bike tomorrow..."

"Okay, mom, what do you want to buy? We'll go there early tomorrow morning."

Ersuji is the neighboring Suji Town. Because the Suji Village where the town is located is divided into Qiansu and Housu, it is often habitually called "Ersuji". Ersuji holds a market on odd days.

Wanjia Village and Longwanglou both belong to Yongfeng Town. The market in Yongfeng Town is held on even-numbered days. Tomorrow happens to be the seventh day of July, and there happens to be a market at Ersu Market.

"Don't go so early. It won't be too late to go after breakfast. Go to sleep and cook early tomorrow..."

Although Wan An Ning didn't know why Feng Xiangmei went to Ersu Market, since she was determined to go to the market, it seemed that she had thought it through and would not do something like hanging herself again.

Thinking of this, Wan An Ning quickly fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside, and An Jing and An Ping were no longer in the house.

She got up quickly and went to the yard to wash up.

"Mom, why are you carrying bricks? Didn't Mr. Xin Kui say that you can't do heavy work now..."

Seeing Feng Xiangmei moving bricks in the yard, Wan An Ning hurried forward to stop her.

"It's okay. The previous pigsty collapsed. I thought of sorting out the bricks and building a new pigsty. When the sow at your uncle's house gives birth to piglets, we can bring a piglet home to raise... Your father won't give us money in the future, and I don't have any other skills. Apart from taking care of those acres of land, I can only raise some livestock to supplement the family income..."

"You have to wait until you are well again. Don't you know you are still pregnant?"

"It's okay, I'm done now, go eat quickly, and then take me to Ersuji."

Feng Xiangmei never told Wan An Ning what she wanted to buy, so Wan An Ning only took out one hundred yuan from the one thousand yuan that Wan Guofu gave her, thinking that it should be enough if she didn't buy anything big.

What Wan An Ning didn't expect was that when they arrived at Ersuji, Feng Xiangmei didn't buy anything, but took Wan An Ning to the health center.

"Mom, what are we doing in the clinic?"

At this point, Feng Xiangmei was no longer prepared to keep it a secret. She touched her belly and said, "I'm going to abort the baby..."

"Hit, hit?" Wan An Ning didn't react for a moment: "Why hit? Mom, you..."

"Having you three is enough for me. How can I raise another child? To be honest, I don't want to have any more children. It's too painful. But your father has always wanted a son. I have no choice but to keep getting pregnant, giving birth, and having abortions... That's how I ruined my body. Now that I've divorced your father, I won't have any more children. I'll just take good care of you three sisters until you grow up..."

Wan An Ning didn't know whether she should persuade Feng Xiangmei to keep the child. She looked at Feng Xiangmei helplessly, moved her lips, and just sighed.
