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

Su Xiaowan just said indifferently, "Mom forgot, the last time you beat my father and Zhaodi, it was the same. Either pay the money or go to the police station."

"Like you said, Beiguo and I only have one girl, Xixi, and my eldest brother already has three sons. We have to make money, otherwise how can we have the money to give birth to and raise sons?"

Liu Xianglian looked a little unhappy, but she softened her tone, "Xiao Wan, I know that it was my fault before, just take 500 yuan and settle this matter."

"Zhiguo is Beiguo's brother after all. Do you have the heart to let Beiguo be criticized for being heartless and ungrateful?"

Su Xiaowan smiled, and her smile was cold. "Mom, have you forgotten that you could point at Beiguo's spine and scold him before? How can I be afraid of others scolding me?"

"We don't have the money. Big brother, you have to bear the consequences of your own actions."

Asking her to borrow it by talking nicely to her is like a tiger borrowing a pig's head and expecting to get something back, isn't it?

"Beiguo, look, this is the wife you married. She doesn't even take you, a man, seriously."

Unable to get Su Xiaowan to give in, Liu Xianglian started to add fuel to the fire.

"Xiao Wan is right. Big brother is already in his forties. If he does something wrong, he must take responsibility. When big sister-in-law poisoned him, didn't big brother stand up for justice?"

Xiao Beiguo's eyes were very cold and he didn't have much feelings for Xiao Zhiguo.

Not to mention him, he has no feelings for the entire Xiao family, except his eldest sister.

"Xiao Beiguo, how can you be so heartless? No matter how bad your elder brother is, he was the one who carried you on his back when you were a child."

"You know best how I grew up. I can't help you with this. If you have the time, you might as well find a solution."

After saying this, Xiao Beiguo took Su Xiaowan's hand and went into the house.

Seeing that the couple not only made money, but their relationship seemed to be better than before, Liu Xianglian was very angry.

However, she was worried about Xiao Zhiguo's safety, so she had to leave. She didn't know whether Xiao Laidie and her two sisters had returned home.

Liu Xianglian quickened her pace, thinking of waiting for Lai Di to come back and asking her to talk to Xiao Beiguo. Maybe she could get the money. After all, he listened to this eldest sister the most.

Inside the house, Xiao Beiguo looked at Su Xiaowan and hugged her from behind, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm just a little tired." Su Xiaowan leaned into his arms, enjoying the brief peace.

"Brother, are you really going to ignore it?" Although she refused, she still wanted to know what he thought.

After all, he is his brother.

"He was fooling around with Widow Zhang and was caught by my sister-in-law several times but he didn't repent and even beat her up. He deserved it."

Although Xiao Beiguo did not ask, the women in the village spoke so loudly that they could be heard from far away.

"He is not wronged. He cheated on his wife before they even got divorced. How could Li Xiufang forgive him?" Su Xiaowan played with his fingers and lost herself in memories.

In her previous life, Li Xiufang and Xiao Zhiguo were pretty good friends. She really liked him. Although they had some quarrels, they still got along well for several decades.

In this life, Su Xiaowan felt that these two people might not be able to survive.

"We don't need to worry about this. He should suffer a little, otherwise he will be thinking about it all day long."

Xiao Beiguo looked down on his elder brother. He was almost thirty years old, had no opinion, and was not hardworking at all.

If it weren't for the financial support from Old Man Xiao, he wouldn't have been able to make ends meet.

"Okay, I'll wash up and go downstairs to cook. What time is it?"

Su Xiaowan didn't notice that she was very hungry.

"It's almost half past eleven. Please sit for a while. I'll make you some egg drop soup to fill your stomach."

Every time Xiao Beiguo made someone suffer a lot, he would be extra attentive to them the next day.

Su Xiaowan got up from his arms and said, "Okay, then you cook the rice first, and prepare the vegetables later, and I'll stir-fry."

"Okay, go brush your teeth and wash your face first." Xiao Beiguo pulled her to the kitchen and did not forget to squeeze toothpaste for her.

"I can do it myself." Su Xiaowan took it. She still enjoyed being taken care of by him.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if I spend some time here. What do you want to eat for lunch? Do you want to cook soft-shelled turtle or those loaches and eels?"

"We'll have it tonight. Go back and tell Zhiwei and Zhaodi to come over for dinner."

"Just make something for lunch."

Xiao Beiguo agreed, got her some water to wash her face, and then went to make a bowl of brown sugar and egg drop soup in an enamel pot.

After drinking the egg drop soup, Su Xiaowan washed the jar and went to the kitchen to cook. Xiao Beiguo had already cut the vegetables.

Seeing her coming he didn't move aside, but just said, "You light the fire, I'll fry it, you tell me how to do it."

"You cook every meal at home. I've learned how to cook. Xixi won't be picky anymore."

Su Xiaowan nodded, lit the fire, and explained to him some precautions when cooking.

Watching the smoke rising from the wok, "Pour in the oil, then add the minced meat and stir-fry until it changes color, then add the beans and garlic slices and stir-fry."

Xiao Beiguo was very quick, stir-frying the beans, and asked from time to time, "Is this okay?"

"When you stir-fry the beans, you can sprinkle a little water on them so that they are easier to soften and taste better."

Xiao Beiguo sprinkled some water and continued to stir-fry. When he saw the beans soften, he asked again, "Can we add water and cook them now?"

"Almost. Add a little more. The beans need to be cooked."

Looking at the water Xiao Beiguo poured in, which was quite standard, she then told him what he needed to pay attention to later.

Two dishes and one soup were prepared very quickly.

Xixi put the dish on the table, looked at it, turned to look at Su Xiaowan, "Mom, did you make this dish?"

"What's wrong? Xixi knew it was made by dad even without eating it?" Su Xiaowan found it a little funny.

This little girl is becoming more and more picky.

Fortunately, he only said it, and when it came time to actually eat, he would still obediently finish it.

"Really?" Xixi's eyes lit up.

Looking at Xiao Beiguo, he gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Dad, you are great today. This dish is very similar to what mom made, although it is a little different."

The whole family was amused by her. Old Man Xiao said with a smile, "Ni, your father is learning. We have to eat it whether it tastes good or not. This way, your mother won't be so tired in the future."

"I know, grandpa, we can't waste it. This is the hard-earned money of mom and dad." Xixi scooped a spoonful of minced meat and beans and put it into her mouth.

After eating, I was a little surprised, "Dad, your cooking tastes pretty good too, although it's still not as good as mom's."

"Dad, if you learn well and make it a few more times, your food will be as delicious as your mom's." Xiao Beiguo smiled, the happiness in his eyes overflowing.

The family finished their meal happily. Xiao Beiguo went to clean up the dishes, while Su Xiaowan played with Xixi under the eaves.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the door, and Xiao Lai Di was standing at the door holding a bag.

"Xiao Wan, Xixi."

"Aunt." Xixi saw her, stood up and staggered towards her.

Su Xiaowan followed and shouted with a faint smile, "Big sister is here, come in quickly."

"I brought some fruits for Xixi." Xiao Laidie handed the bag to Su Xiaowan.

Su Xiaowan took it and said, "Sister, you are here, why are you still taking these? You have many children, so it's good to be here."

She was also grateful to her elder sister-in-law. When she wanted to have a son, she was the only one who persuaded her to just live a good life.

She was also the one who kept persuading Liu Xianglian not to make things difficult for her.
