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

Xiao Beiguo pursed his lips and watched Su Xiaowan slowly finish the bun in her hand.

He asked softly, "Do you want me to serve you some food?"

"No, just help me get a bowl of porridge."

Su's mother cooked the rice in a big pot, and used the rest to make rice soup.

She likes this the most when the weather is hot.

Xiao Beiguo stood up with the bowl, glanced at Su Guilan before leaving, and then hurried out.

Seeing him leave, Su Guilan asked again, "Su Xiaowan, why don't you give us meat buns!"

"Because I bought the meat and I made the buns."

Su Xiaowan's tone was very indifferent. As long as Su Guilan was thinking about her family, they would not go hungry. After all, the buns she made today were enough for the whole family.

Selfishness has a price!

"You bought this meat for my parents, so it belongs to them. Why can't I eat it? You did it on purpose!"

"Second sister, since you want to eat it, why don't you buy it yourself? I can cook it for you."

Su Xiaowan had a lukewarm attitude, and Su Guilan's face changed with anger.

"Gui Lan, if you had eaten less just now, you could still have the meat buns. It's your fault for being so afraid of not having anything to eat!" Su Xiu Lan was very dissatisfied.

"It's obvious that you hid it because you were afraid that I would eat too many meat buns!" Su Guilan refused to give in.

"Isn't it?" Su Xiaowan sneered.

"So you did it on purpose!" Su Guilan was so angry that she wanted to go up and hit someone.

Su Zigui suddenly stood up and stood in front of Su Xiaowan, very annoyed.

"Second sister, you are selfish and greedy, otherwise how could you not have this meat bun?"

"We haven't even finished ten of this huge bowl of pickled cabbage dumplings yet, and your family has already eaten them all."

"It's fine if you didn't bring anything to eat, but you're still thinking about eating good food. Have some shame."

Su Zigui didn't like Su Guilan in the first place. Every time she came to their house, she would eat and take things. This time, he finally got something delicious, but it was all eaten up by her family.

"I didn't eat yours, why are you yelling about it!" Su Guilan was very annoyed.

"This house belongs to him. Who do you want to eat from?" Father Su, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned.

Su Guilan suddenly felt like a deflated ball. She was most afraid of Su's father.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Who would want to come? I won't come even if you ask me to come!"

After Su Guilan finished yelling, she shouted to Li Shun outside the door, "Hurry up and take your things home, and don't come here again!"

After saying that, he glanced at the two watermelons that Li Shun had placed in the corner, picked them up and walked out.

Su's mother watched this scene without saying a word from beginning to end, and she didn't cry like she used to, but her heart was chilled.

Li Shun didn't say anything. He put the two watermelons into the bag and said, "Dad, Mom, if you don't want to eat these watermelons, I'll take them back. Guilan has a child and wants to eat everything."

Looking at the shameless appearance of this family, Xiao Beiguo and Fang Kui couldn't bear to watch.

Because of this, no one was in the mood to eat. Xiao Beiguo stood up to help collect the dishes, but Su's mother quickly stopped him.

"Beiguo, you sit down, I'll do it."

After saying that, he rushed to Su Zigui who was chewing a bun and said, "Why don't you pour a glass of water for your two brothers-in-law?"

Fang Kui sat aside without saying anything. Xiao Beiguo waved his hand and said, "No need. We are one family. No need to bother."

"Beiguo, you go and take a rest, I'll clean up." Su Xiulan picked up the stacked bowls and walked towards the kitchen.

"You go and chat with your brother-in-law for a while, I'll go and help." Although Su Xiaowan usually only cooks and doesn't wash dishes, she doesn't want to let Su Xiulan do it all alone.

Xiao Beiguo nodded and went to the door to chat with Fang Kui.

In the kitchen, Su Xiaowan cleaned the bowls and basins on the stove and asked, "Sister, are you and brother-in-law okay now?"

"It's OK, let's just make do with it."

Su Xiulan smiled and didn't say much about herself. She asked, "You and Beiguo look much better after coming back this time than before."

"You're not as stubborn as before. Did something happen?"

Su Xiaowan felt a surge of sadness in her heart. She didn't expect that the person who really noticed the biggest change in her was Su Xiulan.

"Beiguo and I had been arguing about having a son a while ago, but then something happened and Beiguo said he didn't plan to have a child in the next two years because he wanted to buy a house."

"Is it because of this?" Su Xiulan was a little suspicious. This was not like Su Xiaowan.

"Not entirely. I just suddenly realized something that I can't explain in a few words."

Su Xiaowan sighed and changed the subject, "Sister, what are you and your brother-in-law doing now? Are you just planting the land at home?"

"What can I do? If there is no work in the fields, I will go out to find odd jobs. Sometimes I can make some money. I can make ends meet."

Su Xiulan's tone was quite helpless. Fang Kui had bad legs and feet, so he couldn't do a lot of heavy work.

With three children and a house to build, the pressure is huge, but she doesn't want to make Su Xiaowan worry.

"Big sister, do you raise pigs? Your children are this big now, and they can usually go and pick pig grass."

"Yes, I raise two a year. I keep half for Chinese New Year and sell the rest, but they don't sell for much."

It’s not that Su Xiulan hadn’t thought about raising more pigs, but buying piglets costs a lot of money and is a long-term investment.

"Sister, I'm doing breeding now. If you want, you can raise a few more pigs. I can lend you the money to buy piglets. What do you think?"

Su Xiulan was a little shocked. "You want me to keep it and then you can take it in later?"

"That's right. If you can raise more, then raise more. I'll take all of them."

"Xiao Wan, thank you. I will catch the piglets when I get back." Su Xiulan held her hand, very grateful.

"Sister, why are you saying this? I'll give you some money to buy piglets later. Take good care of them and your life will get better."

Su Xiulan looked at her determined eyes and nodded, "I will."

After everything was done, everyone sat together and chatted for a while, then went back to their rooms for a nap.

Lying on the bed, Su Xiaowan told Xiao Beiguo that she wanted to lend money to Su Xiulan to buy piglets to raise pigs.

"I just told my brother-in-law about it, and he said it depends on what my eldest sister thinks."

"Why do you want to tell this to your brother-in-law?" Su Xiaowan was a little surprised.

Xiao Beiguo played with her fingers and said, "Eldest sister and brother-in-law are really good to us and mother. We can help them as much as we can."

He remembered that when he married Su Xiaowan, Su Xiulan once persuaded Su's father not to ask for so much dowry.

"Thank you Beiguo. It has been very difficult for my elder sister these years, and my brother-in-law has difficulty walking. I want to help him more."

"There's no need to thank me between us. Compared to what you've done, this is nothing."

"Sleep for a while, then go to my second uncle's house later and give him Zhaodi's money."

"Okay, I'll test Uncle Er's attitude and see if he wants to call Zhaodi back."

"Probably not. If I can take the money home, I can have one less person to eat. Second uncle would rather Zhaodi not come back."

Xiao Beiguo hated Su Xiaowan's uncle from the bottom of his heart.
