Chapter 5 (2/2)

Xue Cuiping was already upset by her mother-in-law’s relationship. Seeing that her mother scolded herself, she immediately became annoyed, “So you want me to do that just because I’m the outsider and asked me to be the villain? Even if it’s known by outsiders, it’s my fault. My second brother and his wife are all dead. How can you go and force a child!”

Seeing her daughter’s voice grow louder, Zhao was afraid of being heard, and she pulled her fiercely, scolding, “Are you afraid that people will not hear?”

Naturally, Xue Cuiping did not want to argue with her mother, and she grumbled unwillingly, “In my opinion, this matter shouldn’t be the you and the father’s business, let the eldest brother or sister-in-law handle this. The bad things are done by others, but their family is clean. How could this be done!”

“Why do you want to involve your elder brother in this mess? Your elder brother is a earned man and needs a decent reputation. Besides, he is ashamed of his second little brother and can’t do such a thing.”

Xue Cuiping’s lip flicked, and she held back her words that she wanted to say.

If he is really ashamed of the second brother, will he still make trouble? In fact, in the past few years, Xue Cuiping has also seen through the heart of this big brother. If the eldest sister-in-law is an insincere person, the big brother is also not good. The bad things aren’t belong to them but let others do it. It is obvious that their family has benefited, but they are still pretending to be innocent.

But knowing what to do is useless, she is a married woman after all, she can’t shake the eldest brother’s deep-rooted importance of her father and mother. As long as this value is not broken in one day, the family will always give priority to the eldest brother’s family. In particular, she also has her own selfishness and her own last resort, so even if she knows something happening in her family in the past two years, she can only ignore her conscience as invisible.

She pursed the hair that had fallen on her cheek and said, “Mom, let’s not talk about it. I’m here to borrow some wheat seeds. You know my mother-in-law’s disease. Last year, because she was in a hurry to raise money for medicine, she didn’t leave any seeds…”

Before she had finished sentences, she was interrupted by Zhao.

Zhao clapped her twice, “Again? Do you think your mother’s family is so rich or something? The Liu family just let you come back as a daughter-in-law and dig for your mother’s house? What about the men his family?”

“Mom…”

Zhao scolded, “Liu family’s morons, they all bring ill luck, and they are a group of incompetent cowards, even the mother-in-law can’t raise well…” Seeing Xue Cuiping crying, she beat her twice again angrily. The she said, “go and do that thing, or I will not give you wheat seeds.”

“Mom…”

“Just do it! Hurry up!”

When he heard the aunt came back, Xue Gouzi felt a sense of destiny.

Later, when Xue Cuiping opened the curtain with a smile and walked in, he had no feelings of sadness.

When Xue Cuiping was talking, Xue Gouzi was not actually listening. He was just thinking about the strange things in dream and reality.

Xue Tingxiang also experienced such an scene at that time, after his father and mother died, he felt resentful to the Xue family in his heart. And these complaints accumulate a little under the hypocrisy of the eldest aunt and the acquiescence of the family. Until this time, he had the last hope in his heart, but even the closest aunt was on the opposite side. He was completely desperate and collapsed. He changed his silence earlier and chose to burst out.

In fact, for the eldest aunt, and even the whole Xue family, have been always waiting for him to burst out. As long as he begins, then all the wrong things will belong to him. He has no ability to resist, and these people are all his elders, so his anger and unwillingness are all strangled in the swaddle.

This time, what happened in his dream happened again? What should he do?

Xue Cuiping was still talking. She could see that she has a little guilty in front of the pale and weak nephew. But these feelings were hidden behind her opening and closing mouth. Xue Gouzi’s eyes were indifferent, but there was someone beside her who couldn’t help it.

Zhao’er’s face was very ugly, but she still forced a smile and said, “Auntie, you can see Gouzi has been ill for many days, and he is just getting better. He’s off color. If there’s anything, we’d better talk about it later.”

In fact, Zhao’er knows that this day will come sooner or later, or she wouldn’t work hard to earn money recently. But when the malice between the relatives is approaching slowly, and this poor man is her own little man, so Zhao’er can’t ignore.

She knew that it was relatives who hurt the most. She suffered this kind of pain. When her mother died, she promised her that she would take good care of the little man. She swore.

At this moment, Zhao’er’s eyes are sharp. It’s a sign that the mother beast is close to madness.

Xue Cuiping was frightened by the things in Zhao’er’s eyes. She subconsciously shook her head and smiled uncomfortably. She didn’t believe that a girl’s eyes can bee so scary.

“Zhao’er, the auntie is enlightening Gou’er, and she is just for Gouzi and this family…”

“Auntie.” Suddenly, Xue Gouzi said something.

He interrupted Xue Cuiping’s words also interrupted the outbreak of Zhao’er at a critical point.

Xue Cuiping turned to look at him quickly and said, “Gou’er, I tell you…”

“Auntie, I haven’t understood what you said for a long time. What is family first? How does Kongrong share the pears? What do my elder brother need me to do? Auntie, you don’t know what the elder brother has—Everything. Grandparents, the eldest uncle ant aunt also love him. The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all bought the good ones. Every time he practices writing on paper, I could only use branches to write on the sand. The paper I use occasionally was still the most inferior in quality. The ink on the paper is printed immediately.”

“Big brother has a lot of books. I only have one—Instructions for Preschool Education. I still bought it after my father did a few months of carpentry. I know that I am not as good as my eldest brother in studying. So I dare not ask for the same as him. I have nothing, I really don’t know what I have can give him.”

Xue Gouzi’s eyes were radiant, with a kind of incomprehension and doubts that were not familiar with world affairs. The envy in his expression implied inferiority complex, and there was some sorrow in his inferiority complex.

In particular, he was recovering from a serious illness, and his was pale and so thin. Such words really made other people sad.

These words made Xue Cuiping speechless, distressed and guilty. She felt that she had no dignity to meet second brother and second sister-in-law, even if she is dead. But the situation at home is urgent. There is no seed during spring cultivation, and wheat seedlings are not cultivated in time. If she misses this season, the whole family will be hungry this year.

She immediately hardened her heart and licked her lips and said, “Aunt is talking about going to the academy in town. You see your brother Juncai is better than you at school. He is at the critical moment. You should give away. Anyway, you are one year younger than him, and it is not too late to go next year.”

Zhao’er suddenly turned around and picked up the stick behind the door.

At this moment, Xue Gouzi said again, “Why should I give this quota away for him? Shouldn’t I have to go? The uncle asked you to come? Did he forget my father’s words before he died? I understand. Treating me as his own son is fake… “
