My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

"You mean you'd rather I be ashamed to face the villagers?" Yang Fenglan retorted.

"That's not what I meant, Mother. Can you please stop jumping to conclusions?" Zhou Jingyi said impatiently. "If my uncle knew how you treated Grandma, what would he think?"

"What I care what he thinks, it's none of my business."

"..."

Zhou Jingyi was taken aback. "Yes, you said it yourself. Your uncle is successful. If we treat him well, he can help us in the future."

"All these years have passed, has he helped us at all?"

"..." Zhou Jingyi was speechless again.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that their family has never received any benefits from their uncle.

"But if you falsely accuse Grandma and Aunt of stealing money today, Uncle will be gossiped about in the future."

"Slap!" Yang Fenglan slapped Zhou Jingyi across the face. "Shut up! Have you been eating pig swill all these years? You've only grown a body but not a brain?"

Zhou Jingyi was stunned, covering his face in grievance, his eyes blurred with tears, "Mother, you actually hit me? You've never hit me before, you weren't like this before..."

"Slap!" Yang Fenglan slapped her again with her backhand. "If you continue to side with outsiders and speak up for them, I'll hit you again!"

"You've disappointed me so much..." Seeing Yang Fenglan raise her hand to slap him again, Zhou Jingyi quickly changed his words, "Mother, Mother, I was wrong! I won't say it again!"

Yang Fenglan then withdrew her hand. "Over the years, how much have we given them? But what have they done? You've been injured like this, lying in bed for three days, and they haven't even come to see you once?"

"But everyone's been busy watering the fields lately..."

"Busy, everyone's busy. It's good to be busy." Yang Fenglan shook her head helplessly.

The original owner's stupid son was deeply poisoned.

It serves him right that Shen Yu doesn't like him.

Not wanting to say more to him, Yang Fenglan picked up the bowl of chicken and headed out.

Zhou Jingyi was still unwilling to give up. "Mom, you just wronged my grandma and aunt. They'll definitely be angry. Why don't you scoop up a bowl of chicken and take it over to them to apologize?"

Yang Fenglan paused, then turned to look at the young man on the bed.

At this moment, she couldn't find the right words to describe her feelings.

After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "Okay, I'll take it to them. You should rest and recover."

"Okay, Mom. Don't say anything out of line when you get there." Zhou Jingyi was very happy.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense. Xiaoyu, let's go eat." Yang Fenglan strode out of the west room.

Disappointment flashed in Shen Yu's eyes: Sure enough, the Zhou family always gets a share of the food.

The next second, Yang Fenglan said, "Let's eat as much as we want, but don't give any to Zhou Jingyi. He doesn't deserve any. No, I mean, we should give his portion to his grandma."

Shen Yu: Huh?

Zhou Jingyi: I think I heard my mother chirping me?

The thought of that delicious chicken, which he couldn't eat, made Zhou Jingyi panic. "Mother, Mother, I was wrong. I didn't mean to blame you. Mother, I just wanted to fulfill my filial duty to Father."

Zhou Jingyi called out a few times, but there was no response from outside. Helplessly, he turned his head to look towards the door.

Suddenly seeing Yang Fenglan appear at the door startled him.

“Zhou Jingyi, remember this: your mother gave you life and raised you. You owe the Zhou family nothing. If they want your father to fulfill his filial duties, let them go down and find your father to do so for them.”

"Your mother married into the Zhou family and has been working tirelessly from dawn till dusk to manage the household. She has never received any benefits from the Zhou family. After your father died, she was kicked out by the Zhou family. The filial piety she showed them over the years could be compared to crying in front of the coffin for three days."

"Besides, your uncle is successful, smart, and good at making money. He also has three sons, all of whom are strong and healthy and can help support the family. What about us? What do we have?"

What she has is a son with a broken leg, an indifferent daughter-in-law, a poor home, and a broken self.
