The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 196 Everyone has their own destiny

Who can blame the couple for being so capable? The man received a monthly allowance when he was in the army, and within a few days after he returned from discharge, he built this brick house, the only one of its kind in the area.

The woman in the family can not only make money by translating foreign languages, she can also earn dozens of dollars a month, which is higher than the salary of a worker. Now she has become some kind of designer in the county and has recruited so many people in the village to work for her. She makes a lot of money every day.

Not to mention raising four or five children, even seven or eight children can be raised well. Every family has its own way of living, and every person has his or her own destiny.

The meal cooked by Shen Zhensheng was just right. The family ate up all the mutton soup and sesame cakes to avoid leftovers. Xiao Baoer didn't like leftovers, and now no one in the family likes to eat them either. They still liked the taste of freshly cooked meals.

"Wife, the snow is getting heavier. I'm going to go to my grandparents' house to see them. The old couple must be bored staying in the house all day. My aunt and sister-in-law are not at home, so I can't talk to them to relieve their boredom."

Xiao Baoer had forgotten about this. Shen's father and mother successively cut off ties with the first and fourth wives. Even if her grandparents understood the situation clearly, they would still feel a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, you take Dabao and the other three with you. Grandma and grandpa see that they are in a good mood. There is some brown sugar in the cupboard. You can take it over to grandma and let her drink more sugar water. You can give me a piece of the best wood that you made toys for them three. Let them play with it as they please. It will help them relieve their boredom."

Shen Zhensheng was not as thoughtful as his wife. He touched Xiao Baoer's head and said with a smile, "Okay, wife, you are still thoughtful. I will go and come back soon. Don't run around. Just walk around the house."

After Shen Zhensheng left with the three children, Xiao Baoer started translating the book. After a while, Shen Xiuxiu came over with some freshly made cakes.

"Third sister-in-law, mother and second sister-in-law asked me to bring you some cakes. They are still hot," Shen Xiuxiu placed the cakes wrapped in brown paper on the table in front of Xiao Baoer.

Xiao Baoer asked her to sit down and poured her a glass of water. "That's great. I was just craving for this and you brought it to me. Have you prepared everything for today?"

"No, mother and second sister-in-law said that there is still a round of things that have not been steamed or baked yet, so they made more in the next two days. Where are third sister-in-law, third brother and the children? Aren't they at home?" Shen Xiuxiu asked.

"Your third brother took the children to visit grandparents at the eldest uncle's house. Didn't your parents divide up the first and fourth rooms at once? Your third brother is worried that grandparents are in a bad mood and will fall ill again.

Besides, my aunt and sister-in-law are sewing clothes next door, and my grandparents have no one to talk to, so they are worried that they will get bored and get angry at home."

Shen Xiuxiu also told Xiao Baoer about the breakup with the fourth branch. Li Sanni refused to put her fingerprints on the document, but was forced to do so by Shen's mother. Li Sanni kept saying that Shen's father and mother did not treat them as human beings, and that the Shen family treated them harshly because they despised the fact that they gave birth to only girls.

"What did my parents say? Are they going to tolerate her empty-mouthed slander?"

Xiao Baoer thought that based on Shen's mother's character, she would not let Li Sanni ruin her reputation like this. Also, if Li Sanni and Shen Laosi had not gone too far, Shen's father would not have decided to kick them out.

"Of course I wouldn't. I slapped her and she was stunned. She thought that since she had a baby in her belly, I wouldn't touch her. That's why she dared to be so arrogant."

"And then, was the relationship broken off so smoothly?"

Xiao Baoer felt that this was not Shen Laosi's style. He knew very well that he could not support his family with his current lifestyle. Li Sanni was pregnant and would not be able to work for a while. He had to work very hard to prevent his family from starving to death.

But it would be different if the family didn't split up and the relatives continued to be close. With the subsidies from Shen's father and mother, they would never starve to death, and the family could eat good food, so life would not be too hard. How could Shen Lao Si not understand these things?

"How is it possible? Fourth brother knelt in front of my parents and grandparents and refused to get up. He was unwilling to break off the relationship and even proposed to live with my parents. This abacus is about to hit my parents in the face. How could my parents tolerate him? And my fifth brother would not agree to it either.

Mother told grandparents and the captain that the fifth brother was about to get engaged, and that the fourth branch of the family was a troublemaker and had a ruthless heart, and that they could not be allowed to mess up the life of the old house any longer.

"It's good that Dad and Mom understand. If they still favor your fourth brother like before, your fifth brother will inevitably feel uncomfortable. Besides, Dad and Mom know very well who is the better one between your fourth and fifth brothers."

Shen Xiuxiu had already made up her mind that if her parents chose to live with her fourth brother's family, she would tell Shen Zhenjiang that she would live with him and would give him living expenses every month after she graduated.

Anyway, she would not live with Shen Laosi. He had never been able to tolerate his younger brothers and sisters since they were young. Similarly, his younger brothers and sisters did not need him now and were unwilling to choose him.

Moreover, Shen Xiuxiu really couldn't stand Li Sanni's behavior. She used to be timid and petty, and now that she was pregnant with a son, she acted like a smug person. Shen Xiuxiu really wanted to give her a big beating.

The two were chatting animatedly, and Jiang Yuqing also came over from the next yard. Mainly because she had nothing to do in the next yard now, she came over to talk to Xiao Baoer to relieve her boredom.

"Sister Yuqing, it's just right that you're here. The three of us can chat and relieve our boredom. It's so boring for my third sister-in-law to be alone at home."

Shin Soo-so is a cheerful girl. Now that she has gone to high school in the county, she has become more cheerful and confident, and she is full of energy.

"Yes, Yuqing, I have nothing to do at home alone, you can come over and play when you are free."

Xiao Baoer had a good impression of Jiang Yuqing. She was a well-educated girl who knew when to act and when to retreat. Although she came from a big city and her family was relatively well-off, she did not have the arrogance or self-righteousness of those educated youth.

As an educated youth, she always felt that she was an educated youth and always wanted to be superior to the rural people, looking down on the country people. However, Jiang Yuqing was very respectful to the villagers in the village and was not so delicate and artificial. Instead, she was a very straightforward girl. She looked weak, but was actually a hot little girl, which Xiao Baoer admired more.

"Okay, Sister Baoer, Xiuxiu, as long as you two don't find me annoying, I will come to you often to relieve your boredom. But I have been quite fulfilled these days next door, and I feel a lot more energetic than before."

Before, Jiang Yuqing would stay in the educated youth dormitory all day long reading books. It wasn't that she was a talkative person, but some of the people in the educated youth dormitory were too thoughtful and could not be close friends with. It could also be said that they didn't get along well and there was no point in talking to each other, so she communicated more with Zhou Yu in the educated youth dormitory.

Since coming to Sister Baoer's place, I have been busy with work with Aunt Song Yun every day. I then record the number of clothes sewn by the workers and their daily attendance, and check the quality of the clothes. Every day is very fulfilling.

Moreover, the workers they recruited were not the kind of people who were particularly troublesome. They talked and laughed every day. Jiang Yuqing also overheard a lot of gossip in the village, which made her feel much happier.
