Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

The two elders became even more unhappy when they saw Xiao Laoer's calm expression.

Grandma Xiao said with a sullen face, "We've already had some vegetable pancakes and are full. We can't afford your big meal of fish and meat."

Everyone was stunned by this statement. How could this be said? The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

When Mrs. Meng and Old Man Liu met their in-laws, they hurriedly stood up and spoke with a smile.

Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "My dear, come and have dinner. Her father and I have disturbed you and didn't come to see you. It's my fault."

Grandma Xiao felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that Liu's parents were also eating and drinking well, because this was in the Xiao family!

But after hearing what Meng said, Grandma Xiao couldn't turn against her in-laws. After all, the relationship between the two families was usually quite harmonious.

Liu came to her senses and smiled as she went to help Grandma Xiao: "Mom, what are you talking about? How come you can't afford to eat? You're at your son's house, so of course you can eat whatever you want."

Grandma Xiao felt relieved after hearing this, but she still said harshly: "As long as you have delicious food and drinks, we old people will feel relieved. The greatest comfort for parents is that their son is doing well."

These words were so sour that everyone was confused. Everyone had eyes and knew that Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Liu were filial to their elders very often.

Although the servants arrived late, they were sent to visit the Xiao family several times. Only Tian Shouzhong had never seen the two old men.

What's going on with these two old people having such an attitude when they come to my house?

Xiao Wan smiled at her grandparents and asked, "Grandma, my parents sent you chicken, duck, fish and meat every now and then, but you haven't eaten them all? What's going on? Yesterday we even cut a piece of meat for you. Isn't it enough? My dad even gave you ten taels of silver yesterday."

Xiao Laoer felt a little guilty. How did his daughter know?

What he didn't know was that Liu had already known that he was giving money to the two old people, but she just didn't expose him. Xiao Laoer usually didn't have much money on him, so he usually asked Liu for it when he needed it.

So he usually saved up some money for a while and then gave some to the two elders. Liu knew it very well, but she thought it was her duty to be filial to the elderly, so she didn't say it out loud.

Liu often gave money to her parents, and the elderly on both sides of the family would get a share of the money when making clothes.

But she still leans towards the Xiao family and is also afraid of becoming someone else's daughter-in-law, which makes Xiao Laoer feel uncomfortable.

Grandpa Xiao coughed a few times, looking a little embarrassed, meaning that he wanted Grandma Xiao to stop dwelling on this, as her second son was indeed very filial.

Grandma Xiao glared at Xiao Wan angrily and was speechless. Why is this child becoming more and more unpleasant?

But her husband reminded her, and she remembered the important matter. She pointed at Xiao Xu and said confidently, "Isn't Brother Ping going to school? Let Brother Xu go too. As an uncle, you have to help your nephew if you have the ability. Your eldest brother's family is poor and they are counting on you."

Everyone in the Xiao family frowned at this tone. What kind of words were these? What did they mean by "pointing at you"?

Although he was rich, the money was earned by his own children. Xiao Laoer and Liu Shi didn't help at all, so why should they take it as their right to raise other people's children?

Xiao Laoer's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a mosquito. Liu also frowned, her face darkened, and she stopped talking.

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and Xiao Wan was even more angry and amused. It turned out that it was someone else's fault.

No one spoke for a while. Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao were worried. What was going on? Was what they said wrong?

Grandpa Xiao looked at everyone in silence and continued, "Second brother, if Brother Xu becomes successful in the future, it will be thanks to you as his uncle."

He couldn't continue speaking because the second brother's family and everyone else just stared at him without saying a word.

Xiao Laoer didn't expect that as soon as his parents entered his house, they first accused him of being unfilial with cold words, and then asked him to take responsibility for Xu Ge'er's affairs with confidence.

This was not the first time that Xiao Laoer felt disappointed. Liu, Xiao Wan and others stared at Xiao Laoer nervously, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Xiao Lao Er took a deep breath, looked at his parents, and said slowly: "When my parents came, they said that I had everything I wanted and didn't care about you. But I just sent you meat yesterday, chicken a few days ago, and even gave you ten taels of silver without telling my wife."

"I won't say more about that. My parents asked me to take care of Brother Xu. When the family split up, my family had nothing to eat or drink. Why didn't you ask my eldest brother's family to take care of my family?"

"I'm a useless father. I didn't give my children a good life. Wan'er fell down the mountain and this good fortune came to us. Everything is earned by her. Otherwise, we would have starved to death."

"At that time, didn't my parents ask my eldest brother's family to give more of the family property to me and the third brother?" Xiao Laoer was really annoyed.

Although the eldest brother is a good person, he only cares about his own family. When I became capable and wanted to help his family, the eldest brother refused.

Which brothers would still interfere with each other after they have separated? Since the eldest brother is unwilling to make progress, I don’t want to say anything more.

After all, they have a whole family to take care of, and Wan'er and Zhen'er are working very hard in their business now.

Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao were shocked by what Xiao Laoer said. Was this what the honest second son would say?
