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

Mother Su sighed, "Why else? It's just for that little bit of money."

"When Zigui got married, they all gave gifts. This time, we are just having a meal together as a family for the child's full moon celebration."

"Your eldest sister meant that you sisters pooled your money to buy a longevity lock for your child, but your second and third sisters were not happy about it."

"It doesn't cost much. He is our nephew after all, so we should buy him a longevity lock. After all, it's not a gift, just something."

Su Xiaowan could understand, but everyone had to pool their money together, and the family could only contribute a little over one dollar at most.

"Your eldest sister said the same thing, but they were not happy. Then your eldest sister bought it herself. Now, your second and third sisters are unhappy again, saying that she shouldn't have bought it and that it embarrassed them."

Su's mother was also very angry when she talked about this, but she was still happy that the old lady had such thoughtfulness.

But the actions of the second and third brothers really gave her a headache. After all, as brothers and sisters, they couldn't do this even if they didn't give them anything.

"Mom, don't think too much. If they cause trouble tomorrow, I will definitely tell them."

Su Xiaowan had long been fed up with these two sisters, who used to rely on their good conditions and look down on her.

Now that her elder sister is living a good life, he comes back to insult others like this. He really thinks her elder sister is easy to bully!

"I didn't want to call them at first, but this is Zigui's baby's full moon banquet after all, and it would be awkward not to call them."

Su's mother was also helpless. After all, this was her first grandson and these were all aunts.

"Mom, you did the right thing, and so did my eldest sister. Even if my second and third sisters' families aren't well off, they should at least give the children something. At the very least, they can buy them some clothes."

Su Xiaowan really doesn't like their petty-mindedness.

"In fact, we didn't want anything from them. We just wanted to have a baby and have a lively meal together as a family."

Su's mother also specially bought a lot of meat and vegetables, thinking that the second and third children had families to support, and the children could eat as much as they wanted, so she made more so that they could at least have enough to eat.

"Okay, mother, don't think about it. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Su Xiaowan didn't want her mother to think too much, so she carried the sleeping child upstairs and gave him to Su Zigui's wife.

After dinner, Su Xiaowan nestled in Xiao Beiguo's arms and whispered, "Do you think it would be bad if I quarreled with my second and third sisters tomorrow?"

"You can say they are wrong about this matter. After all, everyone has different ideas. This gift is a token of thought."

Although Xiao Beiguo did not approve of their behavior, he didn't think it was a big deal.

"That's true, but after all, that's Zigui's first child. When we gave birth to Xixi, mom gave him money, chickens, and eggs."

Su Xiaowan didn't covet these things, she just felt that this was the only way to feel like she was part of her family.

"Your second and third sisters are no different from my two younger sisters. They only want the good and won't tolerate anything bad."

Xiao Beiguo had seen through it long ago, but he didn't care.

"That's right. I just feel uncomfortable. If you are so unhappy, then don't come tomorrow."

I just wanted to come here to eat and didn't want to spend a penny. That's really calculating.

Seeing Su Xiaowan's angry look, Xiao Beiguo smiled and said, "Okay, don't be angry. This little thing is not worth it."

"Now both mother and Zigui are doing well, and the family is not short of money. After all, they are mother's children, so it is impossible for us not to interact with them."

"Zigui's baby will be one month old tomorrow, which is a good thing. If there is a quarrel, it will only make Zigui and his family look bad. So let it go."

Su Xiaowan could understand what he said, and just said, "If they don't make trouble tomorrow, I will definitely not do anything. If they do, I will definitely not tolerate it."

"Okay, I support you. If you need to beat someone up, I'll do it."

Su Xiaowan was amused by him, "You, you just know how to fool me."

"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth."

"Go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow. I see that mother has prepared a lot of dishes. I will get up early tomorrow to help."

Xiao Beiguo patted her on the back. As the youngest of sisters, this kind of thing was indeed not easy for them to handle.

"Well, tomorrow morning you wake up and call me, and I'll help you too."

Su Xiaowan also knew what Xiao Beiguo meant. She was just angry that they would eat and drink lavishly every time they came back and still go along with them.

The next day, Xiao Beiguo got up early to help. He came downstairs as soon as Su's mother boiled the water in the pot.

Seeing him coming down, Su's mother was very surprised, "Beiguo, why are you up so early? It's rare for you to come back, why don't you sleep a little longer."

"Mom, I go to bed early at night. I'll help you. We need to kill the ducks."

Looking at the ducks that were tied up nearby by Su's mother, he rolled up his sleeves and got ready to do it.

"I'll come in a bit. You're wearing this dress, or it'll get dirty."

Xiao Beiguo was wearing a suit inside and a woolen coat outside, which looked very expensive.

"Mom, it's okay. I just want to be careful. With so many ducks, you'll have to work for a long time."

Su's mother took off her apron and handed it to him, "Then you wear the apron, mother won't wear it."

Xiao Beiguo didn't mind and took it and tied it directly, then continued to help deal with the ducks.

When Su Xiaowan woke up, the sun had already risen outside.

She looked around and saw that Xiao Beiguo was no longer around her.

After a quick wash and a long time of waiting, she went downstairs and walked up to the man who was processing ducks with Su's mother by the well.

"I didn't ask you to get up and call me."

"It's cold in the morning. Since you are so afraid of the cold, I might as well let you sleep a little longer."

Su Zigui joked, "Fourth sister, that's because your brother-in-law loves you. You don't even know that when I got up, your brother-in-law was plucking duck feathers."

"I thought I got up early enough." Su Zigui had to get up at night to take care of the children, so he got up late.

"He usually has a regular schedule in Jinshi."

Su Xiaowan squatted down and wanted to help, but Xiao Beiguo said, "Don't bother with this. I asked my mother to stew some broth for you. Go and drink some to warm yourself up."

"Okay, I'll go eat something first and help you later."

Xiao Beiguo said, "You just cook the dishes, Zigui and I will take care of the rest."

He didn't want her to work so hard. Cooking was hard work, so he would help her with the cooking after he was done.

"Okay, I'll go eat something first. I'm a little hungry now."

Su Xiaowan went to the kitchen, ate some meat soup and a few steamed buns, and then she felt a little better.

Su's mother came back from outside with radishes, and seeing her busy in the kitchen, she said hurriedly, "Xiao Wan, you sit and light the fire, and I'll cook."

Whenever something happened at home, Su Xiaowan was the one who cooked. Seeing that she had lost weight over the years outside, she felt reluctant to let her go.

"Mom, let me do it. You sit and light the fire. It's rare for me to come back, so I'll help you as much as I can."

Su Xiaowan didn’t know how much she could do next time she came back. She just wanted to help her mother share more of the burden and spend more time with her when she had time.

"Okay, you cook the vegetables, and I'll wash the radishes and stew them with the duck meat later."

Su's mother cut all the radishes and watched Su Xiaowan skillfully divide and cut the meat into pieces.

"Xiao Wan, all the meat has been cooked. The ones in your second sister's family can eat a lot. Cook more meat so that everyone can have some."

Although life is better now, Su's mother is still relatively frugal when it comes to eating.

But every time the children came back, she would cook a lot of meat dishes, hoping that they would eat more.

Today, the eldest sister Su Xiulan lives a better life and has meat for every meal at home, but the second sister's family is a little worse off.

The third child is even worse. He doesn't have enough to eat for a month, and he is so lazy that he doesn't want to do anything.

As Su's mother was talking, the second son's voice rang out in the yard, "Mom, we're here."

As he spoke, he had already entered the kitchen. When he saw Su Xiaowan, he was obviously stunned, "Xiaowan, when did you come back?"
