Then Boss Zhu said nothing, and Aunt Zhu cursed fiercely: "No, no, no! That vicious woman killed my daughter, and she still wants my filial piety? Dream on! Don't go! If you dare to go, I will immediately take Da Niu and Er Niu back to her parents' home!"

Boss Zhu sat on the ground with his head almost hanging down.

The taciturn Zhu Laosan walked up to Aunt Zhu San and asked hesitantly, "Wife, I...that's my mother..."

Aunt Zhu is also dull. They are dull and also the most soft-hearted.

She looked at her fourth sister-in-law who was feeding Sanya for her and asked, "Sister-in-law, where is your family?"

Aunt Zhu hugged San Ya, tears streaming down her face, but she turned her face away and said nothing. Even though she knew that San Ya's death might have nothing to do with her mother-in-law, she couldn't get over it!

Aunt Zhu knew what she meant, sighed, and brought Sanya over: "Sister-in-law, please take care of the baby in your belly."

Finally, Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan went to Si's house. Zhu Laosi cried and pushed Zhu Laoda, begging him to go with them, but Zhu Laoda refused to agree.

Aunt Zhu said to Aunt Zhu Si in a sarcastic tone, "If you want to go, go ahead. Aren't you afraid that Si Ya's spirit in heaven will not be able to rest in peace? Aren't you afraid that you're pregnant with another girl and she'll harm you?"

……

At this moment, Mrs. Zhu looked very haggard. She was injured both physically and mentally, but she was in good spirits and her complexion had improved a lot.

My younger brother fed her some medicine, and she drank it in one gulp. She smiled and asked, "I don't even have time to look after the chickens and ducks. Don't forget me, Xiao An."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhu, I won't forget. The fourteen chickens and fifteen ducks are all fine and have grown a lot. They are growing better than those of other families!"

There were fifteen chickens and fifteen ducks. They were all in good health, fat and big, and pleasing to the eye.

That was the effect of the poultry feed and poultry medicine in the mall. However, the last time Si Muyan was sick for four days, she didn't take care of the chickens and ducks, so a total of six of them got sick. When Si Muyan recovered and gave them medicine, one of them still couldn't be saved.

But Aunt Jin was still very happy to see so many of them survived. She said that this batch of chickens and ducks was a good buy, and if she could see them again next year, she would buy more.

My younger sister was also worried that Mrs. Zhu would be in a bad mood because of the bad things that happened yesterday and today, so she brought Xiaoxia over to show her: "Mrs. Zhu, look, Xiaoxia can smile at people and even say 'oh oh'!"

Mrs. Zhu was in a good mood. She used her good hand to touch Xiaoxia'er's face, but she was afraid that her hand was too rough and would scratch the child's skin, so she only touched the outside of the swaddling clothes.

"Oh, Xiaoxia is so pretty, she looks like someone from your family."

The younger sister's eyes lit up: "Isn't it, Mrs. Zhu, do you think Xiaoxia'er is more like me?"

Xiao An immediately jumped out: "No, Xiao Xia'er looks like me. People say that nephews resemble their uncles. I'm her uncle, so she must look like me."

"She obviously looks like me, otherwise why would Mom always hold her and call my name? Why don't you think she is you?"

Mrs. Zhu smiled even more happily. She looked at Xiaoxiaer seriously, then at her younger sister and younger brother, both of whom had somewhat similar and particularly beautiful faces, and said, "They look alike, but not quite. I think Xiaoxiaer looks more like your eldest sister."

"How can she look like my elder sister? I'd rather she look like me." The younger sister was anxious.

The younger brother quickly said, "What's the best looking part about you? My second sister is the best looking. I'm also good looking. I look like my second sister, so Xiaoxia is obviously more like me."

During the argument, Xiaoxia's mouth became round, and after a while she cried out "wa".

The younger brother skillfully ran out to fetch water, while the younger sister opened the lower half of the swaddle and prepared to change Xiaoxia's diaper.

They all knew that Xiaoxia had defecated and needed to be washed and changed immediately to feel comfortable.

Mrs. Zhu said, "Look at the way Xiaoxia frowns. Isn't she just like your eldest sister?"

The younger sister went to see her and really thought Xiaoxia looked a bit like her elder sister. She said, "Eldest sister is not as pretty as me and my second sister. Xiaoxia is really not going to grow up."

Mrs. Zhu shook her head: "Yan girl is very talented. How do you say it? Heroic, yes, heroic!"

The three of them were triplets, and although they weren't exactly alike, they still looked alike. The younger sister also felt that the eldest sister had a unique heroic look in her eyes and eyebrows, so she nodded in agreement.

Aunt Jin followed the younger brother in and said, "Mrs. Zhu, your second and third sons are here to see you. Do you want to let them in?"

As she said this, she was still a little indignant. Mrs. Zhu had four sons. The eldest was the eldest son, so she was always valued. The fourth was the youngest, so she was naturally loved the most. But these two most valued and beloved children didn't even come to apologize?

Mrs. Zhu was very indifferent. After being abandoned by her sons last time, especially after the eldest son treated her like that, she had completely given up.

During the days in the thatched hut, her second son brought her food every day, but she never asked for it. Her third son also went to look for her several times, but she refused to pay any attention to him.

The eldest son and the fourth son had never appeared, so she didn't find it strange.

Now, after hearing what Aunt Jin said, she just said, "I'm sorry to have worried you, big sister, but I... am sick and really don't want to see them."

Aunt Jin felt that as a family, there was no hurdle they couldn't overcome. She was about to persuade them, but she heard Si Muyan come over and say, "Aunt Jin, let Mrs. Zhu have a good rest. I'll go talk to Brother Zhu, the second and third brothers."

Si Muyan saw Zhu Laoer and Zhu Laosan, but did not say anything special: "Mrs. Zhu was injured in her right arm yesterday, and she was frightened when the house collapsed in the middle of the night. She was tortured like this this morning. She is old and can't stand it. Let her have a good rest."

Zhu Laoer nodded hesitantly: "Yan girl, it's all because of us, your sons, who are unfilial. We have caused your family so much worry. We really feel a little guilty about this."

"Mrs. Zhu has helped us a lot. We all like her very much. You don't have to worry about her in our house. Although a mother won't argue with the younger generation, it's you who have disappointed her. If you have the opportunity in the future, please behave well."

"Of course, of course." The two nodded quickly. Zhu Laoer said, "From now on, I will send you a barrel of oil, ten kilograms of rice and five kilograms of pork every month..."

This was agreed upon by the two brothers on the way. Originally, one barrel of oil, five kilograms of rice and three kilograms of pork for a family would not be difficult to come by, but now the eldest brother and the fourth brother are not coming, and it is not appropriate to give so little to the two of them.

But they all have families, and they still owe money for building houses. If they give too much, the pressure will be too great.

Zhu Laoer quickly said, "When spring comes next year, we'll go out and find a temporary worker. We'll definitely pay you more then. If you need us, just use us. Dachun and the others will go collect firewood. We won't pay you a penny."

Si Muyan knew that if she refused, they would feel burdened, so she didn't refuse: "Okay, then it's settled."

The two brothers were relieved to hear that she was willing to accept it. They rubbed their hands and said, "You have a lot of firewood at home. When it's sunny tomorrow, we'll go up the mountain to chop more firewood and bring it back to you!"
