When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

Father Su said sternly, "I'm already this old. How much work can I do and how much can I earn?"

"Besides, your mother is not in good health. If I go out to work, who will take care of her?"

Su Xiaowan sneered in her heart. If she had relied on her father to take care of her mother, her mother would probably have died long ago.

"Dad, we just talked about this with Mom, and I think what you said makes sense."

"My mother is in poor health and really needs someone to take care of her. Since you don't want to work outside, then don't go."

"I can give you this money, but my mother said she doesn't want to ask for her children."

Father Su's expression immediately changed, and he said unhappily, "What does she know? How much money can she make in a day?"

"Do you really think you can make money by just going out and tinkering with some goods and selling them?"

"You know that money is not easy to earn, so why don't you think about your children? You are only fifty, and people in their seventies and eighties in this village are still working in the fields. How can you say that you don't work?"

"Who said I won't work? I have to take care of your mother. I'll just find some work nearby."

As soon as Father Su opened his mouth, Su Xiaowan knew that this matter could be accomplished.

"Forget it. We won't let you work so hard. You have to take care of mom and work outside. It's hard to run back and forth."

Father Su's face lit up with joy. He didn't expect that Su Xiaowan would actually think of him.

He said happily, "Xiao Wan, Dad knows that you are a sensible child, so I will do as you say."

Su Xiaowan did not forget to confirm, "Dad, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. If you're willing to give me money for my retirement, what else can I ask for?"

"That's fine. My mother has been out selling stuff all the time. Like you said, she doesn't make much money. And she's not in good health. She really shouldn't do that."

Father Su nodded repeatedly, "Yes, your mother is running around outside every day, which is really not a solution."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of her at home."

"I feel relieved after hearing what Dad said. But after the Lantern Festival, Mom will start growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks. You will have to work harder then. After all, Mom is not in good health."

"If he gets exhausted, it will be Dad who suffers in the end, and we as his daughters will feel sad when we see it."

Father Su's face instantly seemed to be painted with paint, and he stared at Su Xiaowan for a long while.

After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Are you going to ask your mother to follow you in planting and breeding, and you want me to help at home?"

Just give him fifty dollars a year!

"Dad, this is not what you said. You are old, and it is not easy to work outside. It is also very hard."

"I'm doing this for your own good, so you don't have to work so hard. Besides, raising chickens and ducks with this kind of vegetables won't be very tiring, and you can still take care of my mother."

Father Su was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he had no idea where to start since he was the one who said it.

Su Xiaowan pretended not to see it and asked with a smile, "Dad, you don't think you can go out to work again, do you?"

"Just do it. When the money from selling vegetables comes, your mother will give me some. And of your fifty yuan, I will also have to take twenty-five yuan."

Father Su had no choice but to agree to it. After growing the seeds for half a year, he would find an excuse that he could no longer do it and let Su Xiaowan take care of the baby, since she had money anyway.

"I will definitely give this money to my mother. When the time comes, just tell her what you want to buy and she will definitely buy it for you."

Father Su was immediately displeased, "Su Xiaowan, you don't want to give me this money at all."

"Dad, what you said is true. I said I would give it to you, and I also thought of this idea based on what you said."

"Or did you just say that you can't do it anymore and want the three of us sisters to pay for your retirement? You just want the money, not that you can't do it anymore?"

Father Su's face turned red with anger. His thoughts had been exposed and he couldn't find any words to refute.

The important thing is, if he admits his feelings, it will be even more impossible for him to ask Su Xiaowan for money in the future.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll do it with your mother at home. When I can't do it anymore, you can't just take care of her and ignore me."

Su Xiaowan looked at him and felt a little sad. No matter what the situation, Father Su always left a way out for himself and never considered other people.

But she didn't care anymore. She asked him to work with Su's mother so that Su's mother wouldn't have to work so hard.

Another point is that if all the money cannot be given to him, he will be more honest and take better care of Su's mother.

"What do you care about? How old are you? You don't want to work and you want Xiaowan to support you. When you disliked her for being a girl, why didn't you think of it now?"

Su's mother took Xixi downstairs and put the tray in her hand on the dining table.

He turned to Su Xiaowan and Xiao Beiguo and said, "Don't bother with him. He is getting lazier and lazier. If he doesn't work, he will starve to death."

"How could I say I won't work?"

Father Su stretched his neck and said, "It's not because I'm worried about your health. Xiaowan said you want to grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks, so she asked me to help you and take care of you."

"Take care of me? How can you take care of me?"

"Xiao Wan, your father just doesn't want to work anymore. He wants to get some money from you sisters and live like this."

"Mom, raising chickens and ducks is a lot of work for you, so let Daddy come with you. When the money from the sales comes, you can give Daddy some of it, and your life won't be too bad."

Su's mother's eyes changed slightly, and looking at Su Xiaowan's smiling face, she understood instantly.

This means that all the money earned by Su's father will be handed over to her.

She had given most of her life's earnings to Father Su, and it was time for him to hand over his earnings to her.

"Old woman, we are husband and wife, so why can't you just see me doing well?" Father Su was very dissatisfied.

"For Xiaowan and Beiguo's sake, I won't bother with you. After the Lantern Festival, you should just follow me and grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. If you dare to be lazy, I won't give you a single meal."

Xiao Beiguo couldn't help but be moved by Su's mother's proud look on her face. After so many years, Su's mother was finally able to completely suppress Su's father.

"Sure, sure, just do it."

Father Su agreed resignedly, "Xiao Wan, don't forget what you promised me."

"I will treat you the same way you treat my mother."

Father Su quickly agreed, "Okay, your mother has been with me all her life, what can I do to her?"

Without saying any more, Su Xiaowan pulled her mother to sit down and said, "Mom, stop busying yourself. Sit for a while. It's still early."

It was a rare opportunity for her to come back, and she had a lot to say to Su's mother.

Mother Su took the rice candy, broke it open and handed it to Xiao Beiguo, saying, "Beiguo, try this. When you and Xiaowan came back that year, you said this was delicious. I made a lot this year. You can bring some back to eat later."

Xiao Beiguo took it and looked at Mi Tang, feeling warm in his heart.

Su's mother still remembers his unintentional words.

In the past, conditions were not good and Su's mother seldom made it. That year, she made some as a fruit plate because they were getting married.
