W Chapter 77
by VolareChapter 77 “I can’t stand him calling Big Brother like that…
The men were doing hard labor outside, Shen Lai was playing with Xiao Chun and Xiao Xia, and Ling Yue went to Wang Juan to ask some questions about his studies.
In the kitchen, Xie Qingya sat on a stool, getting angrier as he spoke, “These are what I heard. There were many more times when I didn’t hear them. I don’t know what they’re saying about Ling Xing.”
Xie Qingya told Xu Youfang everything that happened at the entrance of the village, word for word.
No matter how much he helped, he didn’t have the Shen surname and didn’t have much deterrent effect. Some people in the village would not think that the Shen family valued Ling Xing just because of him.
If he hadn’t known that the Shen family rarely went to the village, and even when they did, they took mountain paths and had little contact with the village.
The Shen family didn’t know these nasty words.
Otherwise, he would have scolded the Shen family along with them today.
Ask them why Ling Xing was being talked about like this!
Ling Xing didn’t expect anyone in the village to say that about him, calling him a seductress and a jinx.
He only found it surreal.
Were these words really being used on him?
If he remembered correctly, he had been in Xiao Liucun for more than a year, and he was busy making money every day. He hadn’t had much contact with these villagers.
How did it come to him?
Xu Youfang frowned upon hearing this. She knew this Aunt Han.
She was gossipy and loved to talk, somewhat similar to Yu Guixiang. One saw everyone as dirty, and the other opened her mouth to spout nonsense, especially loving to gossip.
The key was that she gossiped and liked to tell the whole village.
The more people who listened, the happier she was, and the more she gossiped.
What she said was always vivid and detailed, and she would swear that it was definitely true, and if it was false, she would be struck by lightning.
It was clear that the heavens were blind, and she hadn’t seen a lightning strike kill her yet.
Fortunately, when her family wanted to arrange a “Wedding to Ward Off Evil” for her eldest son, they rejected Aunt Han’s seventh son.
No family could stand having such in-laws.
“Qingya, Auntie thanks you for telling me about this and is grateful that you stood up for Ling Xing today.”
In the past, the Shen family all called Xie Qingya Wang’s husband, and everyone called him that.
Later, because of Ling Xing’s relationship, the Shen family also became close to him. The men in the family called him Brother Xie, and everyone else followed Ling Xing and called him Qingya to show their closeness.
Xu Youfang was sincerely grateful. She really didn’t know about this.
Everyone in the family was busy with their own things now, working hard for the long-term development of the family. They didn’t have the heart to think about these things.
However, this kind of thing did exist. She blamed herself for not thinking more about these aspects and ignoring it, allowing Ling Xing to be scolded for no reason.
Knowing Xu Youfang’s attitude, Xie Qingya breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand with a smile, “No need to thank me, Auntie. Ling Xing is my best friend. No matter what happens, I will stand by him and help him unconditionally.”
Ling Xing was so touched that he silently put an extra sausage on Xie Qingya’s plate.
Because the Shen family was going to pay tribute to Shen Hai later, Xie Qingya, after seeing the people and telling them what had happened, hugged the bulging oil paper bag that Ling Xing had given him and happily went home with Wang Juan.
Shen Yan put out the fire in the stove and asked Xu Youfang, “Mother, what are you going to do?”
Xu Youfang looked at Ling Xing and sighed, “It’s our family that has wronged you. Don’t worry, Mother will definitely handle this properly and give you an explanation.”
Rumors are like a murderous knife. Ling Xing didn’t dare to let it go, saying that the innocent will clear themselves.
He nodded, “Thank you, Mother.”
The matter in the village was put aside for the time being, and the family had to go see Shen Hai first.
Because stewing the chicken took time, it was almost dusk when they arrived.
Xu Youfang placed the cooked chicken, pork, and the sausages and pastries that Ling Xing had steamed, one by one, in front of Shen Hai’s grave.
The other members of the Shen family were busy wiping Shen Hai’s tombstone, weeding, and preparing the brazier and copper coins.
With everything prepared, Shen Chengshan finally sat in front of Shen Hai’s grave, his eyes red as he said, “Eldest son, are you doing well over there? Everything is fine at home. We’re not like before, where we couldn’t get enough to eat or wear.”
Speaking of this, he beckoned to Ling Xing, asking Ling Xing to sit beside him.
“The family’s success today is all thanks to your husband. If you have a spirit in heaven, remember to bless him, understand?”
Ling Xing sat on the ground, looking at the dark tombstone, and said thank you in his heart.
Thank you for planning so much for me.
Xu Youfang saw Ling Xing looking at the tombstone with a focused expression and glanced at Shen Hui beside him.
He seemed normal.
She stopped looking at Shen Hui and turned to talk to Shen Hai.
In the end, she cried uncontrollably, touching the cold tombstone, and said painfully, “Mother is not good. Mother is sorry for you, eldest son!”
The eldest son’s husband was liked by the second son, but she was helpless.
This matter would damage the reputation of all three people. The dead were talked about with ugly gossip no less than the living.
They clearly left cleanly, but as a result, they became the subject of gossip before and after meals because of these things.
This was disturbing the peace of the deceased.
Xu Youfang felt distressed just thinking about it, but both of them were her sons.
Shen Gui, Shen Yan, and Shen Lai also said a lot to their eldest brother.
The eldest brother in their memories, although bedridden, was very, very good to them.
He could keenly perceive their unhappiness and comfort them. He always smiled at them and spoke gently.
Eldest brother never seemed to get angry and did his best to take care of them.
They missed their eldest brother, but they would never see him again.
Whenever they thought of him, they felt empty and sour in their hearts.
The members of the Shen family and Ling Xing were all immersed in their respective emotions. Ling Yue had never seen Shen Hai and had no contact with him. He had only heard Ling Xing say that they were able to live well in the Shen family thanks to Shen Hai.
Ling Yue was grateful to him. He respectfully cupped his hands in front of the tombstone and secretly said in his heart: Thank you, Big Brother Shen.
The sun was setting, and the sky was getting dark.
On the way back, the members of the Shen family were all silent.
The emotions of sadness and longing could not be quickly relieved and could only be slowly adjusted and adapted to.
There were many trees at the foot of the mountain, and they were growing vigorously at the moment.
In front of them, a large tree extended many branches. Ling Xing saw that the branches were above his head, so he did not avoid them.
But unexpectedly, the branches were suddenly pressed down by a running squirrel and quickly swung down. Others, including Ling Xing himself, couldn’t react in time. Just as the branch was about to hit his face, Shen Hui protected him from behind in time.
The branch whipped Shen Hui’s ear and cheek, instantly turning a large area red.
But he didn’t care about his injuries and looked down to check on Ling Xing, “Are you hurt?”
Ling Xing shook his head and looked at Shen Hui’s left cheek and ear. It was bleeding.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, he heard Shen Chengshan roar, “Shen Hui! What kind of behavior is that!”
Ling Xing then noticed that he was being hugged by Shen Hui.
Although there was no direct physical contact, this action, from other angles, would really be misleading.
After Shen Chengshan shouted, Shen Hui didn’t immediately let go, but paused for a moment before taking action.
Ling Xing, realizing that Shen Hui’s actions were different from before, looked at Shen Hui’s side face, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.
Ling Yue, who was also paying attention to Ling Xing and wanted to pull Ling Xing away from the branches, but was a step slower than Shen Hui, looked back and forth between the two.
Was Brother blushing? The atmosphere seemed a little strange.
He tugged on Ling Xing’s sleeve and was lost in thought all the way.
Shen Chengshan saw Shen Hui’s actions in his eyes and was shocked.
He found that Shen Hui had paused for a moment before letting go after he called out.
Shen Chengshan’s face was very bad, and he looked thoughtfully at Xu Youfang. He didn’t expect Youfang’s expression to be natural, without the slightest surprise.
Recalling the stiff relationship between his wife and second son some time ago, he immediately understood the key.
So his previous guess was actually true!
Shen Chengshan looked at Shen Hui in surprise and anger. Noticing the gaze, Shen Hui directly raised his eyes to meet it.
His eyes were deep and contained emotions, without any evasion.
Shen Chengshan’s face darkened a few degrees. This kid was doing it on purpose just now.
He deliberately let him find out.
Xu Youfang ignored the undercurrents between father and son and felt calm in her heart.
She knew that Ling Xing’s “husband” must have stimulated Second Son.
Fortunately, Second Son knew to restrain himself a bit and didn’t say it directly.
Shen Gui and a few of the younger generation were walking in front and didn’t see it clearly. They only knew that eldest brother’s husband was almost hit by a branch, and second brother protected him in time.
They didn’t feel anything wrong. After all, it was a dangerous moment, and second brother’s actions were out of line, but they were also reasonable.
Back home, Shen Chengshan called Shen Hui into the house in a low voice.
The oil lamp in the east room was still dim.
Xu Youfang didn’t go in to interfere and let the father and son talk to each other.
The room was terrifyingly quiet, and even the sound of breathing became much clearer. Shen Chengshan suppressed his anger, “When did you have these crooked thoughts?”
Shen Hui had also thought about this question.
Maybe it was when Ling Xing noticed the problem with his clothes and sewed them for him. Maybe it was when Ling Xing was afraid that his hair wouldn’t look good and trimmed it for him. Maybe it was when he knew he was good at martial arts, but still wanted to ensure his safety, so he specially changed the snake repellent medicine for him. Maybe it was before, when he was afraid that he would be hungry every day and specially prepared food for him…
This feeling was made up of too many moments.
It made him want to be more cared for and get more of the other person’s attention.
Shen Hui lowered his eyes, “On the day of the wedding, I carried him through the door and felt that he was very light. Later, when he was setting up the stall, he was physically exhausted, so I suggested continuing to carry him, which could save time. But slowly, I found that I wanted to carry him like this forever.”
Shen Chengshan didn’t expect it to be so early. He looked up at his tall son, and the appearance of Shen Hui as a child emerged.
When Second Son was just born, he didn’t cry or make a fuss, so he was worry-free and easy to take care of.
His body was healthy and strong, so his parents naturally worried more about Eldest Son, whose body was not good.
Second Son was basically taken care of by the wet nurse and servants, and occasionally he would live in the old lady’s room for a while.
Later, when he reached the age to go to the family school for enlightenment, he didn’t need his parents to worry about it.
Occasionally, he would meet Mr. Wen and Mr. Wu on the road, and both of them praised Second Son to the sky.
The child was so excellent and worry-free, which allowed them to have more energy to take care of Eldest Son.
Because Second Son could still live well without them, but Eldest Son couldn’t leave them.
After something happened to the family, Second Son was only eight years old. He followed them all the way to escape, helping to take care of his younger siblings, until they settled down in Xiao Liucun.
Because Eldest Son’s body was not good, and the other children were younger, they did neglect Second Son at that time.
Shen Chengshan always remembered that Second Son, who was babbling, called him father in his grandmother’s arms. Second Son, who was three years old and only a little bit tall, held textbooks that he couldn’t understand and sat upright in the family school. Second Son, who was four years old, began to practice horse stance with the martial arts master, his fleshy little face full of solemnity and seriousness.
That little child had now grown so big and so strong.
He could only look up to see the child’s face.
“Father, from childhood to adulthood, I haven’t wanted anything. But now, I want Ling Xing, I want him to call me husband, to be my husband.”
Shen Hui lifted his robe, knelt down on one knee, “I hope Father will grant my wish.”
Shen Chengshan looked complicated and frowned as he asked, “If Father doesn’t grant your wish, will you give up?”
“No.” Shen Hui said decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
Shen Chengshan knew Shen Hui’s answer clearly. If he would, his mother wouldn’t have had that reaction.
It seemed that before him, his mother had tried everything she could, and found that it was really useless.
So she acquiesced.
Shen Chengshan helplessly shook his head and sighed. Now that things had reached this point, he couldn’t do anything else.
Just as he was about to tell him to get up, he suddenly thought of something and asked suspiciously, “You deliberately let me see it today, just so I could let Ling Xing call you husband instead of Big Brother, right?”
Shen Hui lowered his eyes and nodded, “Yes, I can’t stand him calling Big Brother like that.”
The fire that Shen Chengshan had suppressed burst out again, “What do you mean you can’t stand it? The fact is that your big brother is Ling Xing’s husband, and Ling Xing is your brother-in-law! Today is still the day to pay tribute to your big brother, but you can’t stand it for even a moment and even warned your father for this? Keep kneeling!”
Shen Hui responded and continued to kneel. It was indeed his fault, he should have picked a time. But it was also a coincidence that it was the time when his father could react the fastest.
It could only be said that it was fate.
Shen Chengshan angrily lifted the door curtain. He almost bumped into Ling Xing when he left the hall.
He stopped in time and wanted to ask Ling Xing what he was going to do, but he saw that he was holding a small pottery bottle containing ointment, as well as a thin wooden piece for scooping out the ointment.
This was what Shen Hui used to treat his wounds before. Family members would also use it if they had cuts or bruises.
Because it had not been used up, the bottle was still the original pottery bottle.
Shen Chengshan thought of the wounds on Shen Hui’s face and ears. They seemed to be a bit serious. The branches looked thin, but the thinner they were, the harder they whipped.
Recalling Shen Hui’s appearance just now, and thinking that his parents really owed him something, he still didn’t let Ling Xing give him the ointment.
“If you’re giving Second Son ointment, he’s in the east room.”
Ling Xing walked quickly towards the east room, and Shen Chengshan followed behind, sitting in the hall to watch.
As soon as he sat down, he shouted outside, “Wu Xue! Come here quickly!”
The dog ran over when it heard him calling it and wagged its tail at Shen Chengshan.
Shen Chengshan stroked the dog’s head and looked at the curtain of the east room.
Second Son should restrain himself knowing that he was outside.
Ling Xing didn’t expect to see Shen Hui kneeling on the ground when he lifted the curtain.
Shen Hui had heard the sound of footsteps before Ling Xing lifted the curtain.
He turned his head the moment Ling Xing lifted the curtain, smiled slightly, and his eyes were filled with light, “Why is Brother-in-law here?”
Ling Xing put down the curtain and entered the east room, “To bring you medicine.”
Walking in front of Shen Hui, Ling Xing squatted down and handed the pottery bottle to Shen Hui, “Why are you kneeling?”
Shen Hui opened the pottery bottle and used a wooden piece to scoop out a small blob of brownish-brown ointment.
“I made a mistake, and Father punished me.” He said it lightly, but when he brought the wooden piece with ointment in his hand to Ling Xing’s eyes, he added some unspeakable emotions to his tone, “I can’t see the wound, can Brother-in-law help me apply the medicine?”
Ling Xing thought it was true, reached out and pinched the base of the wooden piece, and moved closer to Shen Hui.
The cool ointment touched his skin, and Shen Hui’s heart tightened. At this moment, the skin on his ears and cheeks could feel the breath of the ointment in addition to the touch.
His hands were clenched into fists in an invisible place to relieve the tension and excitement in his heart.
“Does it hurt, Second Son?” Ling Xing asked in a low voice.
Shen Hui lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions in them, and said in a low, seductive voice, “It hurts. Can Brother-in-law be slower and lighter?”
Hearing this, Ling Xing quickly slowed down, and the application of the ointment was even more careful.
Shen Chengshan outside was getting impatient. He was just delivering ointment, why hadn’t he come out yet?
He thought about it again and again, patted Wu Xue’s head lightly, pointed to the east room, and motioned for it to go in.
Wu Xue was very smart and immediately understood the command.
Also, because there was a familiar and favorite scent in the room, it ran very fast.
Shen Chengshan cleared his throat, “Oh dear! Wu Xue, why did you run into the house!”
He strode up, not looking at Wu Xue at all, and directly lifted the door curtain.
Seeing that Ling Xing was just applying medicine to Shen Hui, Shen Chengshan was relieved.
He also saw that Ling Xing’s movements were gentle, and he would blow on it from time to time, taking care of Second Son like a rare treasure.
Shen Chengshan reminded, “Ling Xing, don’t do it too carefully. His skin is thick and rough. Just smear a little on it and rub it with your hands.”
Ling Xing responded verbally, but his hands didn’t show any ambiguity.
Shen Chengshan clicked his tongue in his heart, no wonder Second Son would fall in love…
Because Shen Chengshan was there, Shen Hui was much more disciplined and didn’t say anything about being in pain.
The sound of calling for dinner soon came from outside.
The family had a harmonious dinner. The next day, Ling Xing went to Xie Qingya’s place for a while, then went back to pack his things and prepare to return to the county town.
The wounds on Shen Hui’s face and ears looked scary, but they were not serious.
After applying the ointment twice, they were already much better.
Knowing that the vegetables planted in the small courtyard in the county town had just sprouted, Xu Youfang stuffed a pile of vegetables and dried vegetables into the carriage.
After watching the four of them leave, Xu Youfang went to the village chief’s house with Shen Chengshan.
Regarding Shen Hui’s matter, the old couple had reached a consensus last night, let it be.
As long as Ling Xing was willing.
They really couldn’t control Second Son.
The couple went to Village Chief Zhu at this time because of what Xie Qingya had said yesterday.
The reputation of women and ge’er was very important. Later, Ling Xing might change from being the husband of the eldest son to being the husband of the second son.
This was a very unpleasant thing to hear. At that time, the village would not know what kind of rumors they would make up.
Therefore, their attitude had to be stronger at this time, so that the villagers would know that their Shen family was protecting Ling Xing.
However, people have mouths, and they couldn’t make people shut up completely.
But as long as they didn’t say it in public, they could say it privately at home.
Zhu Rushan looked quite happy to see them coming. After seeing the expressions of the couple, the corners of his mouth that had just risen immediately fell.
He carefully asked, “What’s wrong?”
The father was not good at talking about ge’er matters, so Xu Youfang opened her mouth, “Village Chief, I heard that some people in the village think that my eldest son was jinxed to death by Ling Xing. They said it with such vivid details. If they’re so capable, why don’t they go to the temple to be fortune tellers? Why are they still suffering in Xiao Liucun?”
Village Chief Zhu cursed inwardly, “It’s those gossipy people again, causing him trouble!”
He immediately expressed his attitude, “Aunt Xu, don’t worry. Since your family values Ling Xing, this matter will be much easier to solve. I’ll go and knock on them to make sure they don’t dare to chew on this tongue again in the future.”
Xu Youfang had seen a lot in the big mansion. Killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, knocking on them alone was useless.
She said, “Please inform Village Chief that the second son’s husband of Aunt Han’s family does not need to come to my place to work.”
Zhu Rushan saw that she was really unhappy, and she didn’t even want people anymore, nodded and agreed.
He also had more considerations in his heart. It seemed that he had to pay more attention to the village’s views on Ling Xing in the future.
The Shen family was protecting him like their eyeballs, and he couldn’t let such random rumors happen again.
Otherwise, if the Shen family got angry, they wouldn’t take the villagers to make money again.
His family’s ge’er and eldest daughter-in-law were now helping to do work. As long as the Shen family developed well, without any accidents, his family would definitely be able to drink soup with them.
For the sake of the Shen family and also for the development of his family, Zhu Rushan had a clear idea in his heart. It seemed that he had to rectify the atmosphere in the village.
Xu Youfang didn’t like trouble. She didn’t have time to deal with trouble before, and now she had even less time.
To avoid Aunt Han from coming to find her, Xu Youfang directly asked Aunt Liu, the village chief’s neighbor and Aunt Han’s nemesis, to have her fifth girl go to fill the vacancy.
Last time when selecting people, she had all the applicants take a test, and Fifth Girl did very well, but it happened that the positions were full, so she had to eliminate her.
Without a vacancy, it was a foregone conclusion, and she could send her away with a word when she came to find her.
Aunt Liu would also help her send her away.
The Zhu family and the Liu family were close, so Xu Youfang directly went to Aunt Liu to tell her.
Aunt Liu smiled so hard that her eyes couldn’t be seen. She hurriedly called Fifth Girl and told her to come out quickly and follow Aunt Xu to get a job.
She was afraid that she would be slow, and she wouldn’t want her fifth girl anymore.
The four of Ling Xing returned to the county, packed their things, and it wasn’t early, so they simply made some food and ate it before going to bed.
The next day after resting enough, they each went to work on their own things.
All four of them needed to get up early and left the house almost at the same time.
When Ling Xing arrived at the shop, he found that the shop was already open, and the Liu brothers were making rice noodle rolls.
He thought as he walked, he would give the brothers a bonus this month.
As soon as Ling Xing approached the shop, he was discovered by the diners.
Everyone spoke up and called him, asking when he would sell soup dumplings.
The Liu brothers didn’t learn this and couldn’t make them, so they wouldn’t be selling them these two days. Everyone was craving them.
Before, he was afraid that the Liu brothers would not be able to remember if they learned too much at once. Now that he saw that their movements were skilled, he could teach them how to make soup dumplings, pot stickers, water fried buns, and fried dough sticks.
The county sold the other foods besides soup dumplings, but Ling Xing also made some every day to earn more money.
The diners found it convenient to buy everything at once and were happy to buy it at Lingji Snack Shop.
Ling Xing comforted the diners, saying that he would make them now. As he walked into the shop, he thought that when the Liu brothers had learned everything, the shop would hire another waiter to specialize in running errands and greeting guests.
He could free up his hands to figure out how to add new foods and be responsible for the new food.
Otherwise, selling only these things would really let down such a good location.
Liu Qingyu and Liu Qingye knew that Ling Xing was coming and called out “Boss.”
“You’ve worked hard these past two days.” Ling Xing said to the brothers with a smile, “I brought a lot of pickles this time. They’re all homemade and taste very good. I’ll have Second Son send them to you tonight.”
Liu Qingyu lowered his head and said, “Thank you for your concern, Boss. We’re not tired.”
Ling Xing curiously approached the two brothers, “Brother Yu, Brother Ye, why have you both been keeping your heads down today?”
Usually, they would have raised smiling faces and greeted him warmly.
Today, both of them lowered their heads in an abnormal manner, and their voices were weak, and their head movements were evasive.
They didn’t want him to see their faces?
Ling Xing felt that something was wrong, “Brother Yu, Brother Ye, raise your heads and let me see.”
Liu Qingyu and Liu Qingye didn’t dare to disobey him, so they slowly raised their heads.
What came into view were two faces full of bruises and scars.
Ling Xing’s pupils shrank slightly, and he said in shock, “Who beat you?”
He was afraid that a business competitor had done it, and his mind began to think about how to collect evidence and report it to the authorities.
Liu Qingyu was full of embarrassment and said with difficulty, “It was my uncle and aunt’s family.”
Hearing this, Ling Xing remembered how Xie Qingya had said that he had met the Liu brothers and sisters.
At that time, it was because Liu Qingyu’s uncle and aunt wanted to eat them out, forcing Liu Qingyu almost to his death.
So, now that they saw that the third child was almost ten years old and could set up a separate household, they wanted to take advantage of this to make another gamble?
Because the shop was still open, it wasn’t a good time to talk.
Ling Xing suppressed a stomach full of words and worriedly asked Liu Qingyu after there were not many people in the afternoon, “So what are you going to do now? Your home is not safe, do you need to come to my courtyard to squeeze in for a while?”
Liu Qingyu didn’t expect Ling Xing to want to help them, and his eyes turned red and he choked up a little.
“Thank you for your kindness, Boss. They don’t dare to really do anything now. Currently, Brother Ye and I can handle it.”
It was just that the youngest Qingxue was so scared that she couldn’t sleep at night. The meat, pastries, and candies that the family bought for the festival were also taken away.
They were finally about to start living a good life, but it turned out to be a bubble again.
Fortunately, they had kept a heart in front and hid all the money. If they didn’t search carefully, they wouldn’t be able to find it at all.
Fortunately, they didn’t buy cloth to make clothes immediately, nor did they make new shoes.
In the future, when they earned money, they would still hide it all and not buy anything. They would live the same life as before. Although it would be a little bitter, it didn’t matter.
As long as they endured the remaining six and a half months, and Qingcao set up a household next year, the matter could be completely resolved.
They wouldn’t have to worry and fear all day long, fearing that these so-called relatives would come to seize what their parents had left them.
It was just wishful thinking.
In the past, Liu Qingyu lived a life where he couldn’t see hope, dared to take action, and was able to be cruel. So the relatives were still very afraid in their hearts, afraid that it would really cause a death.
And Liu Qingcao was still young, and the relatives had plenty of time to grind slowly.
Now not only Liu Qingyu, but also the other younger brothers and sisters, were afraid of any accidents.
Because they now had the ability to live their lives.
And Liu Qingcao was about to turn ten years old, and the time left for the relatives was running out.
The relatives didn’t have time to grind, and the Liu brothers were not cruel enough. As a result, in the next few days, Liu Qingyu and Liu Qingye had new injuries on their faces every day.
This wasn’t the end. One morning, their uncle and aunt brought a few younger children from their family, all dressed in rags, like little beggars.
The family rushed over like crazy cows after the snack shop opened for business, and sat directly on the ground, and began to pat their thighs and cry.
“Oh my, my life is really bitter! My sister-in-law didn’t have milk before, so I raised my nephews and nieces. After my brother and sister-in-law passed away, our family also took care of the nephews and nieces. But now that they have developed, they don’t care about their uncle and aunt! Look at their cousins, they are all skinny!”
