After letting the uncle and his family into the house, Mei Niang made hot tea and got some fried fruits, and they all sat together and chatted for a while.

No one took the initiative to talk to the old lady who was sitting aside. Old Mrs. Yun was feeling uncomfortable as she sat, looking around the room with her cloudy eyes. At a glance, she saw that there were piles of corn sticks all over the floor.

"Third brother, how much food does your family still have? Your second brother's family doesn't have much left, and my mother lives in your second brother's house. It's hard to let their family suffer too much. There is also Qiu'er, who is still young, but

If you're not hungry, I'll send some corn to your second brother's house later. Every household is not rich this year, and my mother doesn't need you to show her filial piety during the New Year."

The old lady's eyes were rolling around, and she probably knew how much she said, and her confidence was a bit lacking, so she looked at Yun Laosan's face from time to time.

Seeing that Mr. Yun was keeping his head down and not answering, the old lady's face was also burning.

Uncle Yun was happy after hearing this, but there was no smile on his face: "Mom, you have to be partial, why don't you have much food left in the second family? Do you think any of them is willing to work hard to farm? I just thought

If you take what others have, it’s strange that there is nothing left. Now that every family has no food to eat, why should the third child starve and give food to them to raise their son for them?”

Uncle Yun felt angry when he thought about the old lady pretending not to notice when he was upset at Lao Er's house, and he didn't speak politely to Old Madam Yun.

Old Mrs. Yun was certainly not stupid. She understood what her eldest son said, but no matter how biased her heart was, she would not admit it, so she found reasons for herself.

"Look at what you said. You are all born to your mother. Your palms and backs are all flesh. Why is your mother partial to you? This is not because your second brother's family will not have enough food to eat. Your mother is in his house and she is already very old.

I have given birth to three more sons, and you can’t let your mother starve with them. Shouldn’t you raise your mother?”

After saying that, she seemed to have convinced herself, yes, she had been living in the second child's house, and the second child's family was supporting her. What was wrong with the boss and the third child's family taking some food? At that time, her back was straightened.

His tone also became stronger.

The old lady's strong words made the boss unhappy. No one said at the beginning that they would not support my mother. It was the old lady who proposed to live with the second son in order to share more of the family property with the second son's family.

Everything was distributed to the second child. His family and the third child's family were about the same as the third child. Every year, the number of people who honored the old lady was only more than the second child's family, not less than the second child's family.

Now, the old lady has come up with this reason. If it spreads, unreasonable people may really think that he and the third child are unfilial. They dare not bear this crime.

"What's so difficult about not having enough to eat? Didn't the second brother's family get a cow from the third brother's family? Even if he killed it, he could eat for a while. If nothing else worked, he asked Xi Niang's husband's family for advice. Didn't Xi Niang get engaged to the scholar? If he

The family is really in need of food for my mother, so she is just like me when I go back to the town. I will never shirk my son from supporting my mother in old age."

The old lady heard that the eldest son was complaining for the third child's family, and she was afraid that he would really follow him back to the town. She was still reluctant to part with her eldest grandson, Qiu'er.

She stayed at the second son's house and could usually get a lot of food from the third son's family. If she really left with the boss, there was no doubt that the third son's family would not give a single grain to the second son's family.

Nowadays, the life of the second child's family is difficult. Not to mention the last meal or the next meal, it is not much better. She still has to endure it for the sake of Qiu'er's eldest grandson.

Besides, Mrs. Chen had already told Shao to cook for her when she came here. If she couldn't get enough to eat at Lao San's house, she would be hungry when she went back.
