The all-round housekeeper is a stick

"Lin Mumu, Mumu, it's none of my business. Mom bumped into me while I was resting in her dormitory at noon. I couldn't help but scream in pain, so she took off my clothes and then interrogated me."

Lin Yuanze didn't expect that his mother's fighting ability was so poor. Now he had to believe what his brother said, that Lin Mumu didn't care about his parents or them at all.

So, Lin Yuanze, who had complained as soon as his mother asked, now put the blame on his mother.

"I explained it to Mom and told her that I was wrong, but she just wouldn't listen to me. You mustn't blame me for this, Mumu. It's not my fault that Mom is partial to us. It's Mom who favors boys over girls..."

Ever since my younger sister was born, my mother has been often accused of favoring boys over girls.

"Shut up. Wait for your brother to come back for dinner." Lin Mumu interrupted him impatiently.

Lin Yuanze said yes, and then asked in a flattering tone, "What are we having for dinner?"

"Pumpkin rice."

Speaking of this, Lin Mumu couldn't help but burst out: "Your son-centric mother really loves you. Why doesn't she buy more meat and vegetables? She eats so much that she's fat, so she buys potatoes and pumpkins for you to eat at home."

Lin Mumu eats pumpkin and potatoes every day, so he is too lazy to cook them in different ways. He just cooks pumpkin porridge, pumpkin rice, potato porridge, and potato rice in turn.

Lin Yuanyu walked in and heard Lin Mumu's words, feeling a little uncomfortable. He had just run into his parents at the door, and his mother had told him to protect his younger brother but hadn't given him any more money.

He thought his parents had been gone for several days and would come back with some groceries, so he didn't give him any money. Unexpectedly, they didn't come back with any groceries either.

"Mom is about to give birth, it's normal for her to be a little fat." Lin Yuanyu still found an excuse for his mother.

"Is that a little fatter? Is that twice as fat? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've gained a lot of weight. Forget it, your family's affairs have nothing to do with me. Go wash your hands and eat."

Lin Mumu washed her hands first, then served herself a bowl of rice and a bowl of egg drop soup.

Before Lin Huaiyu returned to her parents' home, she took Lin Jianhua to buy vegetables. They bought a bag of potatoes, a bag of pumpkins, two or three taro roots, and a basket of eggs. This is the vegetable.

The food was a mixed bag of grains, with less refined rice and more whole grains. There was also a bag of noodles and a bag of cornmeal.

Now there is about one-third of the grain and cornmeal left, the noodles and taro have been eaten, a small half of the pumpkin and potatoes are left, and the eggs are almost gone.

After all, only eggs can be used to make soup. Otherwise, there would be no sauerkraut, meat, or even dried vegetables at home, so I really don’t know what to use to make soup.

After dinner, Lin Mumu told the two about the food reserves at home and asked Lin Yuanze to tell his mother at noon the next day to avoid running out of food.

Lin Yuanze actually wanted Lin Mumu to pay for the big meat bun she'd bought earlier. It was cheap, delicious, and had lots of meat. At 2 cents each, it was a great deal, and they got one free when they bought 10.

At that time, each of the brothers will have four, Lin Mumu will have three, and they will cook a pot of soup so that everyone can eat their fill and feel satisfied.

But Lin Mumu didn't even look at him, and told Lin Yuanze that the man selling the buns felt he had lost money, so he wanted three cents for each bun and would not give them away for free.

"The most important thing is, why should I use my money to buy food for you? I work hard to earn money to support you? Am I some kind of Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Lin Yuanze: ...

He shouldn't have mentioned it so much.

"I'll talk to Mom at noon tomorrow and ask her and Dad to buy some more food."

"Well, don't forget, otherwise you'll be the ones who go hungry. Anyway, I'm the one who cooks. Once it's cooked, I'll serve it up first, and you two can share the rest. If there's not enough food and not enough to cook, you'll be the ones who go hungry."

After saying this, Lin Mumu put away the dishes and left.

Lin Yuanze leaned on the table and sighed, "Don't our parents care about us anymore? If it weren't for Lin Mumu, we wouldn't even have a place to eat. Grandpa and grandma are also annoyed that we eat too much and don't want us to stay at their house. Every time we go for a while, they ask when we will be back..."

Lin Yuanze kept talking a lot, and the more Lin Yuanyu listened, the more upset he felt. He could feel the change in the attitude of the grandparents here towards them.

He saw it all clearly, how could he not know, their enthusiasm when they first came, their love after they changed their ways, and the pressure to have a baby over the past two years, and their dislike for them after their mother became pregnant.

The grandparents here only wanted a grandson who could be adopted by the uncle. Now that there is a new child, how can they still love these children who later changed their minds and did not want to be adopted by the uncle?

The grandparents here don’t love my mother much, so it’s impossible to love her as well as her family.

When my mother was pregnant and the gender of the baby was not yet confirmed, my grandmother even disliked her, fearing that she would bring her and my brother to ruin their family.

After confirming that the baby in her belly was a boy, he saw clearly and understood how good his grandmother was to his mother.

That kind of goodness is conditional.

Feeling the change in his grandparents' attitude, Lin Yuanyu finally understood why his mother was so ruthless towards Lin Mumu. Like his grandparents, his mother's love was conditional and purposeful.
