The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 195: Evil people have their own trials and tribulations

The village chief called a few people and temporarily built a bed with wooden boards in the village branch. They temporarily used the village branch's emergency quilts. Although they were all old, it was better than freezing to death.

Although Xiao Xiulan's clothes were wet, she had just stood behind her parents, so many places on her clothes were wet. Xiao Xiulan and her elder sister used the firewood sent by the village head's wife to keep warm and dry her clothes at the same time.

The next day, as soon as Xiao's mother opened the door, Xiao Xiulan appeared at the door. Xiao Xiuyun was beaten half to death when she returned to her parents' home. Now she can't get up, so she is still lying in the village branch.

"Third Aunt, please help me," Xiao Xiulan knelt down in front of Xiao's mother as soon as she saw her, thinking that this would make her mother soften her heart.

Mother Xiao suddenly pulled away the hand that Xiao Xiulan was holding, "I say you are also funny, you have a father and a mother, and you come to my door to do this, do you think my family is full of enemies?"

"Aunt, I don't have any. I really have no other choice. My brother and sister-in-law won't let me and my sister into the house. We are almost freezing to death in the village party committee. Aunt, I'm still young. I don't want to die yet."

Xiao Xiulan's words almost sounded pitiful, but Xiao's mother would not pity any of the children in Uncle Xiao's family. If they didn't live well, it was their own business and a problem that their parents should solve. It had nothing to do with their third uncle and aunt.

"I say you are really interesting. If you don't want to die, then just live well. What does it have to do with me? Who has an extra mouthful of food to feed an outsider these days?"

Xiao Xiulan was not a good person either. She just couldn't suppress the viciousness of her mother-in-law at her husband's house, and couldn't stand the beatings from her husband. But she had all the necessary wisdom and tricks.

"Aunt San, if you don't let me in, I won't leave. I will die in front of your house. It's a life after all. You can't kill one. Besides, I don't eat much. I only need three meals of coarse grains a day."

Mother Xiao sneered and slapped her twice on the face. "Fuck your mother, you didn't learn anything from your mother. You have learned this shameless skill 100%. If you miss, then die. If you keep looking for trouble in front of me, I will not tolerate your big slaps."

Xiao Lao Da and Xiao Lao Er came out of the house and took Xiao Xiulan to her own home. As for whether Li Xiuli let her in or not, that was her own decision.

Not only did Li Xiuli not let her in, she also asked Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao to marry Xiao Xiuyun to the next village. There was a widower in the next village who was a butcher. He did not mind that Xiao Xiuyun was a slut and was willing to marry her. He also gave her a betrothal gift of 50 yuan, but the condition was that she had to marry today.

When Uncle Xiao and his wife heard that the man was willing to give a dowry of 50 yuan and that the man was a butcher, they thought that there should be no shortage of pork at home and they could eat meat often, so they readily agreed to marry Xiao Xiuyun off today.

As for Xiao Xiulan, Li Xiuli had already made up her mind. She would let her go back to her husband's home today and tell her not to return to her parents' home again. When she came back, she would find a family to marry her off to, and she would get a lot of dowry.

Xiao Xiulan had a big quarrel with her, but she calmed down after being slapped a few times by Li Xiuli. She no longer dared to speak loudly in front of Li Xiuli.

Uncle Xiao's family were all subdued by Li Xiuli and had to listen to her. One can only say that Uncle Xiao's family deserved it and that evildoers will be punished by evildoers.

When Shen Zhensheng saw that it started snowing again, he asked Xiao Baoer to stay in the house and not go out, and to call him if anything happened.

"Okay, husband, let's make some mutton soup this morning. Mutton soup is the best thing to drink on this day. I also want to eat some sesame cakes. Can you make them?"

Shen Zhensheng nodded, then touched her belly. Because she was pregnant with twins, her belly was obviously bigger than other babies of the same month, and it was also more painful.

Shen Zhensheng was about to say something when he suddenly felt his stomach move. He asked Xiao Baoer with a look of surprise, "Wife, did it move just now? Is the baby moving now?"

Xiao Baoer was also very happy when she saw his surprised expression. This was probably the first time he felt a child greet him.

"Yes, it's been more than 4 months. The baby can move. You give the baby prenatal education every day. They recognize your voice, so they greet you when you speak."

Shen Zhensheng touched his belly and spoke to the child lovingly, "Baby, I'm your dad, you have to be good, okay? You can't let your mom suffer so much. Dad loves you, but he loves your mom more."

The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Zhensheng went into the kitchen to cook. His wife's good appetite was more important than anything else, and he would be worried if she couldn't eat more.

The three children were bored staying in the house and had played enough with their toys, so they ran out to the kitchen to watch their father cook, wearing the thick cotton boots that Xie Lan had given them.

"Dad, are we having soup today?" Erbao saw that his father took mutton and lamb chops.

"Yes, Mom wants to drink mutton soup and eat sesame cakes. Do you want to eat it? Or if you have anything you want to eat, you can tell Dad."

The three children also wanted to drink mutton soup and didn't want to eat anything else. When Shen Zhensheng was cooking, he roasted some sweet potatoes for his wife and the three children. His wife liked to eat local sweet potatoes very much, so Shen Zhensheng bought a lot of them when distributing the food.

"Wife, the soup will be ready soon. Eat a sweet potato first to kill time. Don't go hungry," Shen Zhensheng handed her a peeled sweet potato, fearing that she would eat too much and would not be able to drink the mutton soup later.

Xiao Baoer took the peeled sweet potato handed to her by Shen Zhensheng and ate it slowly with a spoon, "Honey, the soup you made smells so good. I smelled it just now."

"Then drink more later. You didn't eat much this morning. After eating some bird's nest, you said you couldn't eat anymore."

Shen Zhensheng felt so distressed when he mentioned this. His wife had been fine, but this morning she ate some bird's nest and suddenly said she had no appetite and her complexion was not good. Now that she looks better and in better condition, he feels relieved.

"Maybe it's because he's not hungry this morning. Don't worry, the baby is more than four months old and is stable. I just need to be careful in everything I do."

Shen Zhensheng asked his three sons to accompany their mother while he went to the kitchen to busy himself. After a while, he brought mutton soup and sesame cakes into the house, and the family began to eat.

The aroma of the mutton soup made by Shen Zhensheng wafted to several households, and those who lived close to their home were miserable every day.

During the winter, my family has always had two meals a day, not eating at night or in the morning. I was used to it and didn't think much of it.

But ever since Shen Zhensheng's family eats three meals a day and the aroma of each meal wafts to my house, I can't fool my stomach if I skip any meal. Moreover, I always dream of myself eating meat in big mouthfuls. I don't know how to describe the aroma. Every time I wake up, my pillow is covered with drool.

The children at home were also making a lot of noise. They insisted on eating meat, ribs and eggs every day like the three brothers, Dabao and Erbao. The children were young and it was impossible to reason with them, so the only thing to do was to beat them up. Once they behaved themselves, they would stop making noise.
