As she spoke, she split her eggs and shared half with Zhou Jin. Zhou Jin took his wife's eggs and ate them with relish.
Xue Guixiang looked at the egg in her hand and muttered," This, this…" Her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. She turned her face and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
After breakfast, Xue Guixiang gave Cai Anan a gift. Today was the day of returning home, so she naturally had to bring it back to her family.
Who knew that Cai Anan would start to frown when she picked up the gift.
"Mom, is this for my family?”
Cai Anan looked at the pile on the table. There was pork, four-colored pastries, cloth, and sour three-colored candy. The smile on her face disappeared.
Xue Guixiang looked a little uneasy." Yes, what do you think? If you don't like it, you can go buy it again."”
"Mom, did you borrow money to buy these?”
"I borrowed money to buy it, but don't worry. Mom has a way to pay it back.”Xue Guixiang hurriedly explained.
No one was willing to be in debt as soon as they got married. There were many fights in the village because of this. Some families were in debt for half their lives.
"Mom, return all these. I'll just grab some candy and go home.”Cai Anan opened the packet of Tricolor Sour and grabbed a handful. She felt that it was a little too much, so she shook it again before putting it in her pocket.
The candy was not given to her family either. When the new son-in-law visited the Yue family for the first time, the children next door would go and watch. The candy was given to the children. She could not let Zhou Jin lose face in front of the children.
The Host remembered that there were no good people in her family. Her mother died when she was young, and Old Lady Cai was mean to her. Her second aunt, Cai Qiufen, appeared to be honest on the surface, but she was actually full of bad things. Her daughter, Cai Fengzhu, dropped out of school early and ate at home every day. She was raised to be greedy and lazy. Her son, Cai Daniu, was only fifteen years old and spent all his time with hooligans.
Third Aunt Tian Cuie was a daughter-in-law bought from Sichuan Province. She was cunning, money-grubber, and slick. The old woman was coaxed by her. Her daughter, Cai Fengya, was admitted to Yanjing's School of Printings this year. She was going to report to school with Lu Zhou in a few days. His son, Cai Qiang, was in primary school, so he could not tell what he was like.
Her second and third uncles all listened to their wife, and the Host's father was a stupid dog raised by Old Lady Cai. When the old lady told him to go east, he would never dare to go west. He often helped the family bully his own daughter!
Her family was so bad that even their bones were broken. Why did she give them things for free?
"Anan, what's wrong? Today is your return day. You can't let your family look down on you.”The honest Xue Guixiang was sweating profusely.
"If my family wants to eat, let them buy it themselves. Our family is poor, and Zhou Jin is still sick. We have to save money to treat Zhou Jin's illness.”Lin Qingqing brought up Zhou Jin's illness, and Xue Guixiang was speechless. Her son was her heart disease, and she also wanted him to recover quickly.
Cai An 'an left with Zhou Jin after she finished speaking. Her in-laws lived in the west of the village, while her parents lived in the east. Although they were from the same village, it was still more than 20 minutes' walk.
The Cai family was so poor that they didn't even have a courtyard wall. Cai Anan saw Old Lady Cai leaning against the door frame and munching on melon seeds from afar. Second Aunt was squatting on the ground and washing clothes. Third Aunt was feeding the pigs in the pigsty.
Seeing Cai Anan and Zhou Jin return empty-handed, the old woman was very impatient.""Why are you back? Are you afraid that others won't know that you've found a silly son-in-law?”
