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

"No, Grandpa wants to eat chicken legs. Mom said that eating chicken legs can help you grow taller."

The grandfather and grandson were polite to each other, and Su Xiaowan and Xiao Beiguo came in with chicken soup.

"Xixi, you eat this chicken leg. Here's another one for grandpa."

Su Xiaowan sat down with a smile, filled a bowl of chicken soup, and put another big chicken drumstick in it.

"Then mother eats this chicken drumstick, and Xixi drinks the soup."

The little girl put the chicken leg in the bowl and pushed it to Su Xiaowan, "Mom is tired from work, if you want to eat chicken legs to grow up, you won't feel tired anymore."

Xiao Beiguo looked at his sensible daughter and felt very relieved.

"Xixi, eat. There is some good meat in this bowl. Mom and Dad will eat these."

Su Xiaowan also served Xiao Beiguo a full bowl of broth and also served herself a bowl.

The family of four was very satisfied with the meal and had never been happier.

After dinner, Old Man Xiao took Xixi to the yard to enjoy the cool air, while Su Xiaowan continued to prepare jelly and Houttuynia cordata.

Xiao Beiguo felt very distressed when he saw her busy from morning to night.

"Xiao Wan, you've been busy all day long. Your body won't be able to handle it after a while."

"How about we talk to them and ask them to supply less goods?"

This is because he is at home and can help. If he were not at home, she would be so exhausted.

Su Xiaowan raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, but she enjoyed it.

"What's so tiring? If you want to make money, it's hard work. Do you know how much I have earned during this period?"

Su Xiaowan's eyebrows relaxed, "I've almost earned a thousand yuan, and it's only been less than twenty days."

"Besides, this business only lasts for two months. I'm afraid it won't be around next month. So, of course I have to work harder while I can still make money."

Xiao Beiguo knew that she wanted to make more money, but he still said, "Why don't you find someone else to help you? It's okay if you earn less, and I can earn more later."

In the past two days, he asked Zhang Zhiwei to find work, and he didn't dare to stop, for fear that Su Xiaowan would think he was useless.

"That won't work. I've already found Sister Ting and her sister-in-law. I don't trust ordinary people."

In today's world, everyone wants others to live a bad life. If they knew she could earn so much, who knows if they would do something fishy.

"Don't worry, I know my limits. Once I save enough money to build a house, I won't work so hard anymore."

Su Xiaowan was actually worried that it would be too cold to live in during the winter. If the house was repaired sooner, she wouldn't have to suffer so much during the winter.

"Okay, take it easy."

Xiao Beiguo thought to himself that he would have to discuss the next job with Zhang Zhiwei later.

The wages for work are not very good these days, so he relies on reselling to make some money.

After three consecutive days of hard work, Zhang Zhiwei came to find Xiao Beiguo in the afternoon.

"Brother Xiao, there isn't much good work recently. Why don't we go over there and get some?" Zhang Zhiwei said, glancing at Su Xiaowan.

"Have all the goods arrived?"

"We arrived last night, and they said that if we can sell well, they will provide us with more products."

"Okay, go make the arrangements and we'll go together in the evening."

Xiao Beiguo pulled Zhang Zhiwei to the wall and said in a low voice, "This job doesn't pay well. I plan to tinker over there in the next few days. It will make money faster. What do you think?"

"I have no objection, but Brother Xiao, you should think about it carefully. If you get caught, you will have to go to the police station for tea."

Zhang Zhiwei had this idea at the beginning, but Xiao Beiguo was unwilling. After all, if he went there every day, there was no guarantee that something would not go wrong.

"I want to buy a house this year, but I don't have enough money. Your sister-in-law has been working so hard these days. If I don't work hard to make money, the burden will fall on her shoulders."

"Brother Xiao, don't you think your sister-in-law has become a little different?"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't want to say it, but he was worried that Xiao Beiguo would be blinded by Su Xiaowan's appearance.

"You forgot that she had an unclear relationship with that man last time. Maybe she did this just for convenience."

"Zhiwei!" Xiao Beiguo scolded with a stern face, "Xiaowan is not that kind of person."

"Don't talk about her like that anymore. She did those ridiculous things because she wanted to have a son."

"Later, I also thought about it. This family always said that girls are useless. She wanted to gain a foothold in the family, so she wanted to give birth to a son."

"It's my fault. If I had told her my thoughts earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer like this."

Zhang Zhiwei sighed, "Brother Xiao, I'm not saying anything bad about my sister-in-law. I'm just a little worried because she has changed so much all of a sudden."

"I really hope that my sister-in-law will live with you sincerely. I am happy for you that you have someone who understands you."

Xiao Beiguo patted his shoulder and said, "Alright, she and I are both for this family. She has suffered a lot of grievances since she married me. I can't always care about everything."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. I'll follow whatever Brother Xiao does. We brothers share the good and the bad."

"Okay, you can make arrangements. After dinner, we'll leave after dark."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded and handed him the bag in his hand, "This is the toy I promised to buy for Xixi last time."

"Why did you buy such an expensive thing?"

Xiao Beiguo took a look and felt very distressed. He felt sorry for Zhang Zhiwei for being so stingy with him and not even blinking an eye towards the people he cared about.

"We don't buy it every day. Besides, if I'm full, my whole family won't be hungry. What's wrong with buying a more expensive one for the girl?"

"Don't buy such expensive things in the future. Children's toys are just for playing with."

"Save more money, and then look for someone suitable to get married and have children soon."

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand, "Come on, who would be willing to introduce a girl to me?"

He has no parents and doesn't even have a decent house. Although he has made some money over the years, it is still not enough to build a house, let alone find a wife.

Especially when he saw how Xiao Beiguo lived, he had no idea what to do.

The two brothers were silent. Su Xiaowan happened to come out and saw him. She called out, "Zhiwei, have dinner here tonight. Your brother Xiao has prepared two grass carps. We will have spicy and sour fish tonight."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Xiao Beiguo and said unhappily, "Your sister-in-law called you, what do you see me doing?"

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Zhang Zhiwei took the bag of toys and walked forward happily with a flattering look on his face.

"Sister-in-law, this is the toy I bought for Nizi last time I went out."

Su Xiaowan glanced at the bag and couldn't help but said, "Sister-in-law will accept it this time, but not next time. I have to save money to marry a wife."

"Sister-in-law is right. I have no wife or children, but I raise Nizi as my goddaughter."

"Then you should save money and your sister-in-law will find one for you later." Su Xiaowan said with a smile.

"That's fine. I'll just wait for my sister-in-law to find me a wife."

When Xiao Beiguo saw Zhang Zhiwei's excited look, he just felt sad.

Both he and I are miserable people, and in fact, he is more miserable than me.

After dinner, when it got dark, Xiao Beiguo said something to Su Xiaowan and went out with Zhang Zhiwei.

Su Xiaowan finished all her work at just after eight o'clock. She took a shower and went into the house.

On the other side, in the dark pile of firewood, Xiao Erdan and Xiao Goudan pointed inside, and the two tiptoed into the place where the chickens were kept.

These days, they saw that at night, Su Xiaowan would lock the chickens in the chicken coop behind the kitchen.
