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

Su Xiaowan hugged her mother's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, you only remember what Beiguo wants to eat, but not what I want to eat."

"How could there be nothing you like?"

Su's mother smiled. The wrinkles on her old face were all stuck together, but she couldn't hide her smile.

As if by magic, she took out a lot of candies from her pocket and stuffed them into her hands.

"This is your favorite candy. I bought a lot this year, but you should eat less, or you'll get tooth decay."

Su Xiaowan looked at the colorful candy in her hand, and she remembered especially the time in her previous life when she was lying on the hospital bed and rolling around in pain.

Su's mother trembled as she handed the candy to her, muttering, "Xiao Wan, eat a candy and the pain will go away."

At that time, she was in so much pain that she yelled at her and said a lot of vicious words.

But Su's mother never got angry and stayed with her until she closed her eyes completely.

"I know, I'll just eat two." Su Xiaowan peeled a candy and put it in her mouth. It still tasted sweet.

"You kid, you're already a mother, why are you still acting like a child?"

"I am still a child to you, so you have to take good care of yourself so that I can always be a child."

Su's mother stroked her hair gently, feeling very sad in her heart. She must take good care of her health in this life.

She wants to see Su Xiaowan live well and see Su Xiulan be happy.

As for her, she will live her own life, no longer rely on Father Su, and will no longer be so cowardly.

She has to rely on her own efforts to protect her children.

The mother and daughter chatted, and Father Su drank some tea, then stood up and said, "I'm going to go kill the ducks. Zigui and the girl should be here later."

These ducks are raised by Su's mother. There are thirty ducks in total, and each weighs six or seven kilograms.

Xiao Beiguo also stood up, "Mom, Xiaowan, I'm going to help Dad, you guys chat."

"Ah."

Su Xiaowan also wanted to be alone with her mother for a while.

When Xixi heard about the duck being slaughtered, she could no longer sit still and got off the stool dangling from her short legs.

"Dad, I want to watch the duck being killed too."

Xiao Beiguo took her out of the hall.

Mother Su looked at the father and daughter and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so fast, Xixi is already three years old."

"Xiao Wan, how are you and Bei Guo doing now?"

"What's going on?" Su Xiaowan was a little confused.

"The North Country seems to be more cheerful than before, not always so gloomy as before."

"Mom, Beiguo and I are doing well, don't worry, he treats me and Xixi very well."

Su Xiaowan guessed something. After all, she and Xiao Beiguo were on good terms for a while before, but they started quarreling again after a while.

"I also did a lot of things wrong in the past. I didn't understand his difficulties and always did things according to my own ideas. That's why this family has such a hard time."

Mother Su took her hand and patted her, saying, "Xiao Wan, Beiguo is also a miserable child. Although he has a dull temperament, he has a good heart and is an honest person."

"Although your business is doing well now, you should also think more about him. His parents have disliked him since he was a child, so you should be more tolerant of him."

"Mom, I know that Beiguo and I are not like before. We will talk about everything now and we won't keep it to ourselves and quarrel."

"That's good. Mother really hopes that you and Beiguo can live a good life."

Su's mother was very emotional. She looked at Su's father who was killing ducks outside, and her tone revealed a bit of helplessness.

"Just like me and your father, I often think about not living together, but then I think, what's the difference even if we get divorced?"

"It's fine for me, but you sisters will be looked down upon by others, who will say your mother is restless."

When Su's mother returned to this era, she had this idea at first, but she later figured it out.

Even if they really get divorced, her children will still call him dad, so he won't lose anything, but her children will be gossiped about.

In this day and age, it is shameful for a woman to get divorced.

"Mom, my dad is like this now. If you don't want to live with him, then divorce him and follow me. I won't let you suffer any injustice."

Rather than letting Su's mother suffer like she did in her previous life, Su Xiaowan would rather divorce Su's father and live a carefree life.

"Xiao Wan, so what if we get divorced? I'm already this old, and you guys are grown up. If your father doesn't change, I won't care about him and won't even cook for him."

"If he's still okay, I'll cook him a meal if I'm happy, but if he's not happy, he'll starve."

"Besides, I can earn money now, so I don't have to worry about his face. I worked so hard to earn this house, so how could I give it to him?"

Su Xiaowan could understand Su's mother's thoughts, so she didn't try to persuade her. She just said, "You decide for yourself. If he treats you badly, tell me."

"Okay, Mom knows."

"As for you, now that your business is doing well, would you consider having another child?"

"Although Beiguo doesn't care, Xixi is getting older, so you should have a child sooner rather than later. Then when you are older, Xixi will have someone to discuss this with."

It’s not that Su Xiaowan hasn’t thought about it, but she definitely won’t want it right now.

"Let's wait a few years. I'm still young and don't want to have a baby so soon. Besides, I plan to make clothes, so I'll probably be even busier in the future."

Su's mother was a little surprised, "You want to open a clothing factory?"

"Well, Beiguo and I have this plan. I'll discuss it with Brother Nancheng later."

"Although making money is a good thing, you also have to take care of your body. You just had surgery not long ago, don't be too tired."

"Don't worry, mom. I know my limits."

At almost ten o'clock, Su Zigui came with the girl.

The girl is very pretty and of a decent height. She smiles whenever she sees people and has a very sweet mouth.

Su Xiaowan liked this girl at first sight. She had a carefree personality and was not petty.

"Third sister, this is Li Qin, my girlfriend."

Su Zigui nudged Li Qin with his elbow, and she smiled shyly and called out, "Hello, Third Sister."

"Hello, come in and sit down."

Li Qin followed her into the house and saw Su's mother pouring tea. She quickly got up to take it and thanked her.

Su Xiaowan was very satisfied. This girl was really good.

"Where is Xiaoqin working now?"

"Sister, Xiaoqin was fired by the factory last year and wants to find a job this year. Can you help ask Brother Nanchen if he needs anyone? Xiaoqin is very hardworking and can do anything."

"Third sister, I don't need a very high salary. I can do a lot of work. Can you help me ask?" Li Qin looked at Su Xiaowan nervously.

"The hotel is a little far away, and the salary is not high. If you are willing, why don't you follow Zigui to my place? I just happen to need some help. The salary will be the same as Zigui's, and I will pay you every month."

"But the work over there is more tiring and hard, and there are dirty jobs to do. Are you willing?"

Su Xiaowan came here to give Li Qin a job, and also to test whether she could endure hardship.

"Sure, Third Sister. I'm not afraid of dirt or hardship, as long as there's work to do."
