Although she didn't know what Zhao Dafu wanted to do, Zhao Huanyu went over obediently.
"Xiaoyu, there is no food at home. You can borrow some from your uncle's house. After a while, when my legs and feet are better, I will find a way to return it."
There was a deep sense of helplessness in his tone. He worked so hard outside and injured his leg that he couldn't even get a full meal when he came back.
That's right, he didn't even eat enough tonight, he only drank two bowls of wild vegetable paste.
He was injured and his body was already weak. He still doesn't have enough to eat, and he doesn't know when his injury will heal. If this continues, this family will really be doomed.
Zhao Huanyu glanced at him and knew in her heart that it was indeed not easy for him, but these were all the result of his indulgence of the Liu family, so she had no sympathy.
"Dad, the money and food at home have been given away, and it's up to someone to get it back. My uncle's family has many children, and they are raising grandma, and their life is not easy. How can we get the extra food?"
She had left all the rice and noodles she had brought over there, and all the extra beans she bought today had been left at her uncle's house, just because she didn't want to take them back and make them cheaper for the mother and daughter.
Zhao Dafu felt very uncomfortable when she said this. He was originally the eldest son, and it was his responsibility to provide for his mother in her old age, but now not only has he failed to fulfill his filial piety, but he has also dragged down his younger brother's family.
"Dad, although you are injured now and need someone to take care of you, we can't just let it go if we have no money and food at home. If she can go to her parents' house to get everything back, I can forget about it and get what I have earned."
I used the money to buy food for my family, but if she doesn't ask for it back, I would rather spend the money to buy food and go to my uncle's house to eat, and I won't care about you anymore."
When she said this, she stared closely into Zhao Dafu's eyes, her eyes were generous and confident. She now had the ability to challenge him.
Ms. Liu had been eavesdropping in the room next to her. When she heard Zhao Huanyu telling her to get the things back, her eyes widened immediately.
How can she get back what she gave away? Then does she still want her face?
Besides, it was something she gave to her mother to honor her mother. Wouldn’t it be unfilial if she didn’t take it back?
This little bitch is always good at deceiving people!
Later she must tell Zhao Dafu about her previous hookup with that scholar!
Zhao Dafu was silent for a while listening to Zhao Huanyu's words. His daughter was telling him that she had money, but she was unwilling to take it out because of what Liu had done before.
He knew that he had been sorry to their siblings over the years, and he was not qualified to say anything to her now, so he nodded and said, "Well, you're right, it's getting late, go back and rest."
He pursed his lips and sighed slightly.
Zhao Huanyu was able to live in his own house, but Xiao Tiedou was unwilling to leave. The little man stood in front of his father and mustered up the courage to say: "Dad, I don't like this mother. She almost killed him when his father was not at home.
My sister was beaten to death, but she still didn’t give me and my sister anything to eat.”
"She and Sister Xiaohua were well fed, but they made me and Sister go to work hungry. I couldn't carry firewood, so they didn't give me anything to eat when I came back. They asked me to go out again and only gave me half a bowl of rice bran.
The batter is mushy.”
In the past, Xiao Tiedou would not say these things. He did not realize that these were wrong at all. He could only be bullied together with his sister every time. However, during this time, his sister led him to live a good life, and he also
Sending him to school, he knew that it was useless to just tolerate it. What Liu did was wrong. He didn't want his father to be kept in the dark.
"You, everything you said is true?"
Zhao Dafu couldn't help but feel heartbroken. His son was still so young, and that evil woman actually asked him to carry firewood up the mountain?
It was also during this period that little Tiedou was raised by Zhao Huanyu and gained a lot of weight. He no longer looked like he had a big head and a small body, so Zhao Dafu didn't think about that.
"Yeah!" Xiao Tiedou nodded heavily, "Before Sister went to make money, I didn't even have a full meal. She almost beat Sister to death and refused to give her food. If not, if not...
My sister and I have starved to death a long time ago!"
He wanted to say that if it weren't for the blessing of gods and provide him and his sister with delicious food, they would have starved to death.
But thinking about what my sister told me, I must not tell anyone else about this matter, so I endured it.
Zhao Dafu felt extremely uncomfortable. God knows what he, a father, had done. He didn't even know that his son and daughter were bullied like this!
He used to think that Mrs. Liu was not as good to them as Li Xiaohua, but at least they did not lack food and clothing. Who knew it would be so serious.
Before she could speak, Ms. Liu rushed out and knelt in front of Zhao Dafu to plead guilty: "No, it's not like that. I can explain!"
Little Tiedou was frightened and took two steps back. He didn't expect that she would suddenly rush out.
When she looked at Xiao Tiedou, her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison. It was true that a tiger was bullied by a dog, and now even this little brat dared to add insult to injury by speaking ill of her.
Looking at Mrs. Liu like this, Zhao Dafu suddenly felt that she seemed to have changed. In front of him, she repeatedly promised to love his two children as her own. However, when facing the two children, Zhao Dafu
, as if he has changed his face.
"You should go back to bed first, dad still has things to deal with."
Zhao Dafu touched his son's head lovingly. He originally wanted to ask him about going to school, but now it seems that he can only find another time.
Xiao Tiedou nodded and left, closing the door thoughtfully.
Then, I heard Mrs. Liu's sad cry from inside: "Master, you really wronged me. I beat her...I beat her because she has grown crooked without a mother these years. She even came to me before.
She steals money here and wants to elope with a man! They say it’s hard to be a stepmother. If I don’t discipline her, some people will say I’m selfish and don’t help discipline her. If I discipline her, she’ll become a sinner. I feel so miserable!”
"What did you say?"
Zhao Dafu frowned, and Mrs. Liu told the story about Zhao Huanyu and Li Qingshan in a lively and jealous manner, and then kept saying that her life was miserable, and she was obviously well-intentioned but was misunderstood.
"She just didn't want to think about it. She just took the family's money and left. What should the rest of us do? Even if she doesn't care about Hua'er and me, she can't leave her brother behind!"
Just as she was getting excited, she thought about suing Zhao Huanyu severely, and it would be best to make her hand over all the money in her hand.
Unexpectedly, she only said a few words when Zhao Dafu kicked her to the ground and said viciously: "Don't throw dirty water on my daughter. Am I not clear about what kind of person my daughter is?"
She is only thirteen years old, she is still a child, she doesn’t know what elopement means! You thief bitch, stop sowing discord here!"
The two people's voices were quite loud, and the Zhao Huanyu siblings in the room could hear them clearly.
