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

When Liu Xianglian saw that no one came to pull her away, Su Xiaowan wished she would die, so she sat down on the ground and cried.

"It's so unfair. My man bullied me, my son didn't help me, and my daughter-in-law told me to die."

Xiao Zhiguo looked at his mother like this and went forward to pull her up.

"Mom, you will follow me from now on. I won't let you go hungry. There is nothing I can do if you and my dad can't get along."

Xiao Zhiguo didn't want to support Old Man Xiao. Although Liu Xianglian had a bad temper, she took care of his children and saved everything for them.

Besides, she has always been the one doing the housework. If she doesn't follow him, who will do the housework?

"Zhiguo, you are the only one I have. You have to take care of me in my old age." Liu Xianglian cried so hard, as if she was the one who was wronged.

"Mom, you have me and your precious grandchildren, so there will definitely be someone to take care of them."

"Since you all have no objections, let's just say this. I'll write it down and we'll each sign it later. Don't make any more noise."

After the village chief finished speaking, Xiao Beiguo handed over the pen he carried with him, and Old Man Xiao brought over a piece of paper.

After the two of them pressed their fingerprints, Old Man Xiao burst into tears and looked at the house, feeling sad.

He spent his whole life building just this one house, and in the end, he was left with nothing.

"Dad, pack up and come home with me." Xiao Beiguo felt very unhappy.

But there is nothing we can do. Things have already happened and some things have to be abandoned.

"Go, go quickly!" Liu Xianglian walked into the house and rolled up some tattered clothes of Old Man Xiao and threw them to him.

Su Xiaowan's face changed slightly. No wonder Old Man Xiao wanted a divorce without giving up anything.

She had no idea how he had managed to survive those years that she didn't know about.

It’s been decades, even if you raise a dog, you will have feelings for it.

"Dad, let's go." Su Xiaowan shouted.

Xiao Beiguo picked up the clothes, took the things and helped Old Man Xiao walk away.

The village chief was also very angry about Liu Xianglian's behavior, but he couldn't say anything.

This family has nothing, so it's better to leave. I can still live a stable and peaceful life for a few years.

It was already past four o'clock when they got home. Su Xiaowan cleaned up a room and Xiao Beiguo put together a bed.

"Dad, you have to live here for now. When Beiguo and I have enough money to build a house, we can live more comfortably."

The fatherly love that Su Xiaowan enjoyed in two lives also came from Old Man Xiao.

"As long as I have a place to live, it's enough." Old man Xiao felt sad as he looked at the clean house.

"Dad, you take a rest. I'll go do some work. There's some water here. Drink if you're thirsty. We'll probably have dinner after six in the evening."

"You can tidy up those branches, and I'll give you a hand."

Old man Xiao now lives and eats at Su Xiaowan's house. He is actually very uneasy and afraid that the couple will be unhappy because of his arrival.

"Dad, you can't do anything with your injured head. Just lie down. It won't be a problem with Beiguo's help." Su Xiaowan helped him sit on the bed.

"Okay, I'll take a break then."

Old Man Xiao did not insist, for he was afraid that if he got hurt, it would cause trouble for them.

"Everything has been arranged." Su Ting looked at Su Xiaowan who sat down to help, feeling distressed.

"Well, each person raises one."

Su Xiaowan handled the work at hand swiftly, "Sister Ting, when you and your brother and sister-in-law go to pick jelly grass, take some time to look for it somewhere else."

"Don't worry, I know."

Su Ting started looking for it when she went there today.

"Xiao Wan, this business makes money quickly, but as the volume increases, it will become more and more difficult as time goes by. You have to think of other ways to make money."

"Brother Nancheng mentioned to me today that he wanted me to make some appetizers. I was thinking of trying some sour peppers and green beans. This can be used as an appetizer or stir-fry."

"This is good, but every household makes this. Will anyone want to eat it?"

Su Xiaowan disagreed. In her previous life, she lived in the 1990s, where she lived a life of luxury.

Following Xiao Beiguo, she has eaten all kinds of delicious food, so she especially misses some home-cooked meals.

Later, her mother came to visit her and brought her a jar of this. At that time, her family had killed chickens and ducks.

Her mother used chicken and duck offal to stir-fry this dish, and she still remembers the taste to this life.

She had also seen Song Nancheng's cafeteria. Chickens and ducks were indispensable every day, and at least dozens of them were needed.

However, the chicken and duck offal are not cooked very well, and they look bad, and they are cheap.

"How do you know if it works if you don't try? The people who eat in the cafeteria are all from the company, the food is good and the food is exquisite."

No matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day.

"So are you going to try it first, or what?"

"I have a lot of peppers and beans in my vegetable garden. I'll pick them and make some. When they're ready to eat, I'll send them to the canteen to try."

"It's still early, you might as well go pick them from the fields and cook them tonight. If you're quick, you can eat them by the end of this month."

Su Xiaowan thought about it and felt that it made sense. If one day is wasted, it is better to delay it.

Just as he was about to get up, Xiao Beiguo came out of Old Man Xiao's room.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Go to the vegetable garden and pick all the peppers and beans you can."

Xiao Beiguo nodded, didn't ask any more questions, found a basket and was about to go out.

"Take two, pick all you can, I want to pickle the sour peppers."

Xiao Beiguo responded, took the basket and left.

At dinner time, Su Ting went back and Su Xiaowan fried two dishes and made a soup.

Old man Xiao sat on the stool somewhat restrainedly, looking at the fried pork with beans. The shiny meat slices made him drool with greed.

"Dad, you can't eat too much oil now, so I didn't cook braised pork. I'll make it for you when your wound heals."

Su Xiaowan poured him a bowl of soup and handed it to him, and also picked up some meat for him, "Drink some broth."

"Oh." Old man Xiao's eyes were moist. Since he could remember, no one had ever cared about him or paid attention to him.

Xiao Beiguo felt mixed emotions when he saw him like this.

After the meal, Xixi kept chattering and even imitated Su Xiaowan by picking up food for Old Man Xiao.

After dinner, Su Xiaowan started to work. She worked quickly today and went to bed at around nine o'clock.

After Xiao Beiguo finished his shower, he went to see Old Man Xiao again. Seeing Su Xiaowan sitting on the bed, he asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Can't sleep."

Xiao Beiguo turned on the light, got on the bed, and pulled her to lie down.

"Are you trying to ask me if Mom will rely on us in the future because Big Brother is unwilling to take care of her?"

"That's not the case. We signed and put our fingerprints on it. My eldest brother chose my mother, and her life and death are all his business."

"What about you?"

"I just feel a little sorry for my dad. He's in his forties and has worked hard all his life, but he doesn't even have a place to stay."

Su Xiaowan couldn't help but think of her past life. If it were that time, she would definitely not let Old Man Xiao follow her.

"This matter actually has a lot to do with Dad himself."

Xiao Beiguo sighed and spoke slowly, "When I was a child, my mother was very strong-willed and always suppressed my father in everything."

"As far as I can remember, my father was silent and didn't care about anything. As time went by, my mother became even worse. She even gave birth to me and my sisters, and she only used us as laborers to earn money."

"What I remember most is that I was fifteen years old that year. I was supposed to go to work with my father, but I had a high fever."

"I couldn't get up, so my mother dragged me up. I begged my father to let me rest for half a day, but he didn't say anything."

Su Xiaowan was shocked, "What happened next?"
