Qian Hongyan didn't expect that Mrs. Xiao would fall out with her at this time.
She pointed at the large plastic bags of food and said aggrievedly: "Mom, you brought back so much food, why did you ask me to eat just two bites? I've been hungry for so long..."
Old Mrs. Xiao sneered: "If you want to eat, go out and work by yourself to make money, and I will support you as an old woman. How shameless are you?!"
Qian Hongyan suddenly became anxious and blurted out: "That's because I was tricked by Xiao Changkun! Otherwise, I would have made more money than you as a cashier!"
Old Mrs. Xiao curled her lips: "It doesn't matter to me whether you earn more or less. You earn yours and I earn mine. Neither of us should take advantage of the other, so don't even think about eating the food I brought back.
Just eat and earn it yourself!”
Qian Hongyan immediately looked at her with grief and anger, and blurted out: "Old lady, you are going to add insult to injury, right? If you make me anxious, I will run away from home!"
Old Mrs. Xiao smiled, clapped her hands and said: "Oh, that's great. Hurry up and leave. I can't wait to buy firecrackers to celebrate when you leave! If Wu Donghai hadn't stopped me, I would have told you to get out of our house."
, will I keep you around as an eyesore? Since you want to leave on your own, Wu Donghai will definitely not blame me, which is great!"
Qian Hongyan gritted her teeth: "Okay! Old man, let's wait and see!"
At this time, Xiao Weiwei hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Grandma, don't be like mom. She has been hungry for so long, so just let her eat something!"
"Let her eat?" Old Mrs. Xiao sneered: "Even if I poured it all down and fed it to the dog, I wouldn't let her take a bite!"
After that, Mrs. Xiao said again: "Give me the food, and you go get the bowls and chopsticks. Our family of four will eat here while she watches!"
Qian Hongyan burst into tears immediately and cursed angrily: "Old Mrs. Xiao, I married into your Xiao family and gave birth to children for your Xiao family. Now you don't even give me a bite to eat. You really have no conscience!"
Old Mrs. Xiao said disdainfully: "If you want to eat, you just have to figure it out yourself. Aren't you good at hooking up with wild men? Go out and hook up again! Maybe you can even become a rich man!"
"You..." Qian Hongyan was immediately ashamed and angry.
The old lady always liked to insult her with the incident in the black coal mine, but she couldn't find any strong way to refute.
So, she could only stamp her feet angrily, gritted her teeth and said: "From today on, I, Qian Hongyan, and your Xiao family will be cut off from each other!"
After that, he slammed the door and went out and returned to his room.
Xiao Changqian had no feelings for Qian Hongyan for a long time, so he was completely silent at this time, hoping in his heart that Qian Hongyan would disappear as soon as possible.
But Xiao Hailong beside him was somewhat intolerable.
Although Qian Hongyan has done some things that are disgraceful to her family tradition, in the final analysis, it is her mother.
Seeing that his mother was about to be forced to run away from home, Xiao Hailong naturally couldn't bear it, so he said to Mrs. Xiao: "Grandma, it's not easy for her, so please forgive her this time!"
Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly: "If anyone talks about this woman again, get out of this house."
Xiao Hailong was so hungry that his eyes were filled with stars, so if anything conflicted with eating, he would definitely choose the latter.
So, he immediately shut his mouth knowingly and said no more.
Xiao Weiwei quickly brought some tableware up, and together with Mrs. Xiao, poured the leftovers into the container. Xiao Weiwei dipped the vegetable soup in two mouthfuls and finished one steamed bun, and then followed the same pattern and stuffed the other steamed bun.
Entered the stomach.
Mrs. Xiao was already full, so she took the bowls and chopsticks and fed Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong who were lying on the bed.
The father and son were like newly hatched chicks in a bird's nest, each with their mouths wide open and waiting for food. When they finally had their meal, both father and son couldn't help but burst into tears.
When Mrs. Xiao saw the two of them looking like this, she felt a little distressed, so she said with red eyes: "Tomorrow, my mother will go to work for another day. In the evening, she will buy some noodles and some meat. Let's make dumplings for our family of four!"
Xiao Changqian cried and asked: "Mom, can we eat meat dumplings tomorrow?"
Old Mrs. Xiao nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to eat it. I will buy it back and pack it with Weiwei for you two!"
Xiao Changqian said with red eyes: "Mom, when I feel better, I will go out to work. Even if I go to a construction site to carry cement, I will do everything possible to make money to support my family. I won't let you grow old at all. He even went out for a run!"
Xiao Hailong also said vaguely: "Grandma, I will go too when the time comes!"
Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and said: "You two take care of your injuries. When you are fully recovered, I will count on you to take care of me until I die!"
When the four members of the Xiao family finally had a full meal, Qian Hongyan cried her tears in her room.
Suffering from hunger and cold, Qian Hongyan not only despaired of the Xiao family, she also made a decision in her heart and prepared to leave.
She does not plan to stay in this home, nor does she plan to stay in Jinling.
She wants to return to her natal family.
Although her mother-in-law's family didn't have much money, and she had an older brother who was living with her parents, at least they could take care of her food and keep her from living in such a miserable state.
However, her parents' home is a little far away. It takes at least five or six hours to take a hard-seat train, and the train ticket costs more than 100 yuan. The cost of getting back has become Qian Hongyan's biggest problem.
After thinking about it, she decided to find a solution from Mrs. Xiao.
That night, Mrs. Xiao slept very soundly due to a whole day of physical labor.
In the early hours of the morning, Qian Hongyan sneaked into her room quietly and took out two hundred yuan from her pocket.
Of the two hundred yuan, one hundred was the old lady's salary, and the other one hundred was the old lady's slap in the face in exchange for it.
Seeing these two pieces of cash, Qian Hongyan was extremely excited.
Although two hundred yuan is not much, it is enough for me to have breakfast after dawn, and then take the train back to my parents’ house to celebrate New Year’s Eve!
So, she put the money into her pocket almost without thinking, then packed a few clothes and personal belongings, and left Tomson Yipin with her suitcase before dawn.
Before leaving, she left a note in her room. There were only four words on the note: "We will see you later."
…
Early in the morning of New Year's Eve.
Xiao Churan finally started taking a vacation.
However, she had long been accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early, so she got up before seven o'clock to wash up.
When Ye Chen saw his wife getting up, he also got up from the bed. Today was New Year's Eve, and there were a lot of things to do at home. Not only did he have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, but he also had to prepare the dumpling fillings in advance. After the New Year's Eve dinner, The family makes dumplings while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
At this moment, Xiao Churan's phone suddenly rang, and she said in surprise: "Oh, Ruolin didn't know why she called me so early."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Wife, you will know after you answer it."
Xiao Churan nodded and answered the phone: "Hey, Ruolin, why are you calling so early?"
Dong Ruolin said with a smile: "I have a holiday! Today is a holiday, so I will fly back to Yanjing at noon to have New Year's Eve dinner with my family."
After saying that, she added: "Is it convenient for you later? I'll pay you a visit and wish my uncle and aunt a happy New Year."
Xiao Churan smiled and said: "Convenience is convenient, but you must not buy anything at home. I don't even bother to buy gifts for your family, so we have such a good relationship, so don't engage in these formalities.
ism."
"Okay!" Dong Ruolin said with a smile: "Isn't this just a matter of words?"
After that, Dong Ruolin added: "By the way, Churan, I'll ask my cousin to come with me to visit your home. Is that okay?"
