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

Su Xiaowan didn't take it. "If I give this money directly to my mother, she will definitely not want it."

She knew Su's mother too well. Not to mention giving it to her, even if she stuffed it in her hands, she would find another way to get it back to her later.

Xiao Beiguo nodded. The last time he came to pick up Su Zhaodi, he gave money but Su's mother refused to take it. Later, he gave the money to Su's father.

"Dad won't give money to Mom, she's old and her legs and feet are not very flexible, so she can't do without some money."

Xiao Beiguo's tone was full of heartache for Su's mother. He had never been loved by his mother since he was a child, so Su's mother's love for him came from the bottom of her heart.

"Keep it first, and then check again later to see if you can stuff it under her pillow or something." Su Xiaowan also knew about this, but was helpless.

"Okay, I'll keep it first. We'll stay here for one night and go back tomorrow." Xiao Beiguo put the money away.

Seeing that Su Xiaowan didn't say anything, he thought she was unhappy, so he hurriedly hugged her and explained, "Xiaowan, although there are people taking care of the house, there are many things to raise. Now is the beginning, so we have to be cautious."

"I know, I just feel bad for mom, but I can't do anything to make her life easier."

Su Xiaowan leaned in Xiao Beiguo's arms, tears welling up in her eyes, her mind filled with her mother's white hair.

The weathered face was full of fatigue and helplessness.

"Don't worry too much. Although Dad is not well, it seems that he is still a little afraid of Mom leaving."

Xiao Beiguo comforted her and patted her back gently, "When we get the breeding and planting business up and running, if mother is willing, we can let her come to our place and find her some easy work."

"I'm afraid mother won't agree." Su Xiaowan's tone was helpless.

"Go ask mom later, we still have to expand the breeding. If she doesn't want to go, we can raise more pigs at home. Zigui wants to get married, so let him help out more."

Xiao Beiguo felt so distressed when he saw the sadness on her face, but in that era, if he really asked Su's mother to go home with him, she would definitely not be happy.

But he didn't want to see Su Xiaowan feel bad.

"I'll ask mother later." Su Xiaowan sighed and stepped away from his arms.

Looking at Xixi laughing with Su's mother downstairs, his brows relaxed a little.

"If it really doesn't work, let mom go over and help us bring the people?" Xiao Beiguo was also helpless.

"This is not a solution. Not to mention that Dad is there, even if he is not there, it won't work just now, just like my dad did, unless the two of them don't get married."

There is no way that Mr. Su would let Mrs. Su leave home.

"Let's see what happens first. I'll go downstairs to help with the cooking. Do you want to get some sleep?"

Su Xiaowan didn’t know how to arrange for Xiao Beiguo. His father was really a bad person.

If she had met a bad son-in-law, her life would have been very miserable.

Xiao Beiguo led her downstairs and said, "It's okay. I'll go help too. My eldest sister and second sister will probably be here later. I guess they'll have to cook a lot of dishes."

That's why he bought so much meat. Life was hard for the old family, and they had three children.

The second brother’s house is not bad, but every time I come here I eat and take things away, even if it’s just some vegetables or something.

Xiao Beiguo had heard all these from Su Xiaowan before.

The two of them went downstairs and saw Su's mother holding a duck that looked to be about six or seven pounds.

Xixi clapped her hands and shouted, "Let's eat duck."

"Wait for grandma to cook the duck, then chop the duck legs for Xixi to eat." Mother Su plucked the duck's feathers and coaxed her with a smile.

Seeing that the duck's feathers were not plucked cleanly, Xixi stretched out her chubby hands to pluck them, and said with a smile, "Grandma, Xixi will help too."

"Okay, Xixi is so good." Su's mother couldn't stop smiling.

Even though his eyesight was not very good, he was plucking the duck feathers very seriously, and there was an unconcealable smile in his eyes.

"Mom, let me do it." Xiao Beiguo walked forward, squatted in front of her, and took the duck over.

Mother Su sighed and wanted to get it, "How can I let you come here? You are a guest when you come to my house. Come inside and have a rest."

"Wanwan, quickly take Beiguo into the house and have him sit down. I'll be done in a moment."

Su Xiaowan smiled and helped her up, "Mom, let him cook, we'll go make other dishes, my elder sister and second sister are coming later, I guess a lot of people will be eating, we have to prepare early."

"It's rare for Beiguo to come home, how can he do these things?"

Xiao Beiguo smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay, you and Xiaowan go do something else, this will be quick."

While he was talking, he had almost finished processing the duck feathers, and it was very clean, with only a few stray hairs left.

Xixi looked at the bald duck, patted its belly and said, "Dad is really amazing. The duck has no hair at all."

"Grandma has raised these ducks for a long time, so they are very easy to take care of." Xiao Beiguo remembered that the last time he came back, Su's mother said that the ducks had been raised for almost five months.

That's an old duck.

Mother Su looked at the father and daughter talking and laughing, her eyes full of relief, and went to the kitchen with Su Xiaowan.

"Mom, we'll have steamed buns for lunch. I'll knead the dough while you light the fire."

Seeing that there was nothing in the kitchen, Su Xiaowan sighed again in her heart. Her father must have been worried that they would come back, so he didn't even bring out the rice and flour.

In her previous life, this happened several times when she came back. Later, Su's mother had to borrow it from the neighbor next door.

Because of this, she didn't let Xiao Beiguo come back with her. Later on, she almost never came back, for fear of making things difficult for Su's mother.

"There's rice in the jar. Let's cook some rice. I just got it back a few days ago."

Su Xiaowan was a little surprised. She opened the rice jar and found that there was indeed rice in it, and quite a lot of it.

"Mom, why is my dad willing to take out the rice?"

"Don't worry, you sisters will not have nothing to eat when you come back. With your mother here, you will have a place to stay in this house." Su's mother's voice was not loud, but very firm.

"Mom, does Dad still beat you?" Su Xiaowan's voice was a little choked. She still couldn't understand when her mother became so tough.

In the past, I would never fight back when beaten or scolded back.

"No, he doesn't dare to hit me, he just says a few words to show off his strength."

Su's mother said it casually, but just a month ago, Su's father beat her again and her head fell to the ground. It was also that time that she was reborn and returned to this time.

After that incident, she locked Su's father in a chicken cage while he was sleeping, and started stabbing him with a needle.

After this incident, Su's father was so scared that he stayed in bed for three days and three nights. Sometimes when he made a loud noise, he would become listless if Su's mother looked at him.

But she never told anyone and just wanted to protect her children in her own way.

"Mom, I'm doing breeding and planting with Beiguo now. How about you come back with me and help with some housework? I'll pay you for it, okay?"

Mother Su looked at her daughter, who was different from before, with relief in her eyes.

"Wanwan, Mom can't go, otherwise people in the North will stab her in the back."

Su's mother took her hand and said, "I think you are getting along well with Beiguo now. Listen to your mother and live a good life with him. As long as a man loves you and makes money for you to spend, he can't be that bad."

"Before, you kept asking for a son, and I don't think Beiguo is too happy about it. You might as well just make some money and talk about having a child later."
