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

Xiao Beiguo's face visibly darkened, "Mom doesn't like Xixi, so you don't need to take care of her. Xiaowan and I will take good care of her."

He didn't dare to let Liu Xianglian take the lead, and he was even more worried!

Not to mention asking for money, he doesn't even want a penny!

"Xiao Beiguo, I'm kind enough to watch your wife go out to earn money and help you lead people, don't be ungrateful!"

"Mom, do you really want to help me bring people, or do you want money?" Xiao Beiguo said with a slight anger.

He didn't even dare to think about how Su Xiaowan was scolded by her when he was not at home.

"It's just five dollars. Your wife can earn money and doesn't have to take care of the kids. Isn't that good?"

"If it were someone else, they would probably eat and take everything at the same time!" Liu Xianglian said sarcastically.

"You don't have to take care of the person. Xiaowan will take good care of him. You should go back quickly." Xiao Beiguo didn't want to waste time talking to her and was even more impatient.

"I won't tell you. I'll talk to Xiaowan."

How could you not want the money that is right in front of you?

Liu Xianglian stood up and walked towards their room, shouting at the top of her voice, "Xiao Wan, go do your business, I'll take care of Xixi for you, and you'll give me five dollars a month."

Su Xiaowan, who was half asleep, was woken up. She sat up dazed and heard Xiao Beiguo's low voice.

"Have you had enough of that? I already told you I don't need you to take me with me!"

If she wasn't his mother, he would have thrown her out.

Liu Xianglian relied on the fact that he didn't dare to do anything to her and couldn't get in, so she shouted at the top of her voice, "Xiao Wan, did you hear what your mother said?"

Originally, she didn’t want to pay attention to it, but after hearing such a commotion, Su Xiaowan woke up from her sleepiness and got up to go out.

Liu Xianglian came forward enthusiastically, "Xiao Wan, Mom heard that you are doing jelly business. It's not convenient to take Xixi with you in such hot weather. I will take care of her for you. How about you give me five dollars a month?"

"Mom really wants to help us?" Su Xiaowan didn't believe it.

But she was Xiao Beiguo's biological mother, so she couldn't really do anything to her. But if she didn't tell her well, she couldn't even think about resting at noon.

"Of course, Beiguo is also my son. You want to make money to help the family, so how can I not help you?"

"Mom is right. I really want to help the family. As you know, this house is quite old. It has been repaired for many years and it is still the same."

Liu Xianglian glanced at the house. It was not only old but also tattered. The thatched roof looked like it would be blown away by the wind at any time.

But what does it have to do with her!

But for the sake of her own money, she still smiled and said, "You and Beiguo should work hard to make money. When you have money, you can build one."

Su Xiaowan smiled, "That's what I think."

"Since mom wants to help us take care of Xixi, then let's do it."

Xiao Beiguo's expression changed slightly and he looked at Su Xiaowan, very puzzled.

"But, Mom just borrowed twenty dollars from me last month, so Mom will take care of the baby for four months first, and I'll settle the payment after these few months."

Su Xiaowan's words were so beautiful that Liu Xianglian's face turned pale.

"Mom, why not?"

"Su Xiaowan, you want me to pay you back the money and take care of your child for free!" Liu Xianglian cursed angrily.

"Mom, didn't you just say you felt sorry for us? I'll lend it to you, and I'll give it to you. What I said makes sense. Could it be that you just want to take my five dollars by saying you're bringing Xixi to me because I'm easy to talk to?"

Liu Xianglian was furious. This was what she was thinking, but how could she admit it?

"Okay, if you want to help take care of the person, just do as Xiaowan said. If you don't want to take care of him, go back quickly." Xiao Beiguo was very impatient.

Liu Xianglian was very angry. She tried hard to please him but got nothing. How could she be willing to go back?

"Get some jelly. Your dad sprained his waist and has no appetite. Eat this."

Xiao Beiguo pursed his lips and said nothing. He felt sorry for his father, but if he took this thing back, it would be a question whether the old man would be able to eat it.

"I'll get it."

Su Xiaowan didn't have much impression of Xiao Beiguo's father. She only knew that the old man usually kept his head down and didn't say anything.

She still remembered that when Xixi was born, he secretly gave her two eggs and left without saying anything.

After a while, she packed the remaining pieces of jelly and handed them to Liu Xianglian, saying, "I'll ask Dad later. If I find out that he didn't eat it, don't even think about taking anything from me in the future."

The portion she gave was enough for the whole family to eat. If it wasn't for the old man, she really didn't want to give it.

"Su Xiaowan, you are a daughter-in-law of the North. It is your duty to respect your parents-in-law!" Liu Xianglian took it viciously and walked out.

Seeing his own mother like this, Xiao Beiguo was so angry.

He blamed himself and said, "Xiao Wan, it's my fault."

"That's just the kind of person she is. There's still so much left, so just eat it. She's your mother, you can do whatever you want to her, as long as she doesn't go too far."

How could Su Xiaowan not know what kind of person Liu Xianglian was? But since ancient times, if children really did something to their parents, they would be criticized.

"Do you want to go to sleep for a while?" Xiao Beiguo felt a little irritated and couldn't fall asleep at this moment.

"No need to sleep. I'll clean up the house and go to the mountain later."

Xiao Beiguo didn't say anything, just followed her. When he saw her tidying up, he went forward to help.

The room was not big to begin with, and the two of them were so close to each other that even their breathing was hot.

"Beiguo, I'm thinking about rearranging this bed. If it's against the wall over there, and the wardrobe is placed opposite, and the desk is placed over by the window, the room should be bigger."

"As long as you think it's good, let's move it now."

As Xiao Beiguo spoke, he took off his vest. According to Su Xiaowan's instructions, the two of them first moved the wardrobe away and then moved the bed.

Twenty minutes later, the room changed and looked emptier than before.

Su Xiaowan looked at the only stool in the room and frowned.

"Is this not possible?"

"No, I was thinking of buying a few stools so that I can teach Xixi to read when I have nothing to do."

"I'll come back and make some. If you want anything, I'll do it all."

Su Xiaowan was surprised, "You know carpentry?"

"I can do the simple things." He had seen a master craftsman do it before and wanted to become an apprentice, but he had no money, so he only learned the basics.

"Then make two stools with backrests." This way I can lean on them when I'm tired.

"Okay, I'll do it when I find some wood in the next two days."

For two consecutive days, Su Xiaowan was busy making grass jelly. When Liu Xianglian learned that she had made a lot of grass jelly to sell, she was furious.

This money should be hers!

Zhang Zhiwei came when I came back from the market selling jelly that day.

"Brother Xiao, I've found a job. We have to go now. It will probably take several days. Do you want to go?"

Xiao Beiguo glanced inside the house and hesitated, "Wait here, I'll go talk to your sister-in-law."

Inside the house, Su Xiaowan was sorting money, and Xixi was dancing with joy beside her.

He called out, "Xiao Wan, Zhiwei and I are going out to work and it will probably take some time before we come back. Can you take Xixi with you to sell jelly?"
