Chapter 72

Early the next morning, after the ancestor worship activities in the village, old man Xu took Xu Baozhu and Zhu Yun to worship her mother alone.

She found that there was a new tomb next to the original old tomb, and a monument was erected on it, but no words were written on it.

"Father."

She probably guessed who it was for, and felt quite uncomfortable.

"Come."

Old man Xu led her to the tomb and said, "Light some candles for your mother."

"it is good."

The old man Xu said again: "Although the marriage between you two is not serious, I have always regarded you as my son-in-law. Brother Yun, if you admit it, come and pay your respects."

How can you deny it?

Zhu Yun stepped forward, squatted beside Xu Baozhu, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and imitated her and called out "Aniang."

Xu Baozhu was a little stunned, but after thinking about it, he had no other choice at this time, and then he calmed down and said with a smile: "Thank you."

Zhu Yun didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and smiled, as a response to her words, he took the incense candle from her hand.

"Aniang, don't worry, I will take care of father and mother from now on. If I stay in this village for a day, no one will insult their father and daughter."

……

After returning from the worship ceremony, they saw that the courtyard of the house was full of people from a long distance away. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jiao were whispering to each other very enthusiastically, but their faces were dark, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Ah Qing was serving tea and water to others, Maizi was negotiating with a few people, and greeted them with smiles, but the others didn't look at her very much, they only focused on themselves.

"came back."

It was Jiao Shi who saw them first.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, two sister-in-laws." Old man Xu stepped forward, "I don't know how many of them are here, but are there any problems?"

Mrs. Liu seemed embarrassed, and Mrs. Jiao spoke on her behalf.

"Third brother, at the beginning we were thinking that life was not easy for you, and there was no one to take care of you, so when we separated, the old lady was taken care of by our two families. The girl is also married, look at the situation of your family, not only food and drink, but also high-quality leather for congratulations, and the ability to take in a few people who have nothing to do with it, this own mother, I can't just ignore it."

It was originally for Mrs. Xu's pension responsibility.

"Then what should the second sister-in-law say?" Old man Xu didn't evade.

Seeing that he was so forthright, Mrs. Jiao didn't hold back, and said, "Our family and elder brother's family have been raising her for many years. After our two discussions, we both agreed that from now on, the old lady's affairs should be handled by your family."

Mrs. Liu continued: "You guys should have earned it. This old lady is already seventy and seven, with half of her foot in the coffin. Even if it is left to your family to take care of it now, it will take a few more years." .”

"The two uncles, do the brothers think so too?" Xu Baozhu looked at the big men.

It's a shame to say this, but the situation of their family is really difficult now. The old lady is old, and often suffers from this disease and that pain, which is really miserable.

Xu Huai said: "Your sister-in-law Shan Xing just gave birth to a baby. She is weak and needs energy and time. Parents have to work hard to support the family. There are still a few younger siblings to support. The family is really difficult. Please invite my sister understand."

Xu Huai took the words, "That's true, let alone sister, don't worry, even if Grandma lives with your family, we won't ignore her at all. We will definitely think about her a lot during the holidays, or if there is something else."

"Girl Bao, you know medicine. Your father is also a doctor. He has cured many people from all over the world. The old lady is old and suffering from many diseases. Following you is better than following our two families." You don't know anything." Xu Dashan said.

"Row!"

"Since you have all discussed it, it is useless for me and my father to say anything, not to mention that we do have the responsibility to take care of grandma, so how about it, after two days, let's go to Lizheng, please As a witness, my grandma has lived with us since then.”

She didn't want to get entangled with them on this matter. She could understand people's choice, but she couldn't accept it.

"Need not!"

The old lady Xu didn't know when she came to the door, she staggered into the door, and walked to Xu Dashan and Xu Yuanqiao.

"When I lived in your house, I didn't have a free meal, right? Did I miss the work in the field from the beginning to the end? Did I not do the housework because I was old? ?”

The two blushed at the words, lowered their heads, and the old lady walked in front of the brothers of the Xu family leaning on crutches.

"Brother Feng, when you married your daughter-in-law, the family didn't have enough money to hire you. My wife took her own dowry ring and gave it to you, right? And Brother Huai, it was my wife who gave birth to your daughter-in-law. Keep busy, do you remember how your mother scolded me and your little sister Baozhu that night?"

The more Mrs. Xu spoke, the more sad she became, her voice became a little choked up.

"When I was able to do work and help, I never saw you all being grateful. Now that I'm old, but I just caught a little cold, you all think about how to get rid of me as a burden, and you are really doing it." Come out!"

"Old lady, you can't say that." Liu said: "You have lived with us for so many years, you are old, how much work can you do, besides, you have done work here, and we have no less You eat, you wear less, you are sick, and we are not taking care of you. It has been so many years, what has the third brother's family done? No, just send some bran swallowed vegetables on weekdays, which makes you very moved. You can't be so eccentric as a human being, you want people to take advantage of everything!" Liu retorted.

"That is, taking care of you all these years, don't we put in less effort? Since you were young, you have favored the third brother. In your eyes, he is good in everything. You give him everything that is good. Now you are old When he grows up, what's the matter with letting him raise him, isn't he from the Xu family, why should our family be thankless!"

Xu Dashan and Xu Yuanqiao's eyes suddenly lit up when they said partiality. This is the two of them have always had a knot in their hearts. The big guy is a family, but the old lady has been partial to the third since childhood.

"Mother, this can't be done. Have we treated you badly all these years? Why can't he do anything for the third child? You even gave your dowry to Bao girl. She is married and promising. Why? Why can't you live with them, you are afraid of dragging them down, aren't you afraid of dragging me and my second brother?"

Disputes continued in the yard.

The old lady's eyes were red, and she slammed her cane on the ground again and again, cursing: "I really have raised two white-eyed wolves, okay, since you despise me so much and don't want to let me live, then I don't want to live anymore." stop!"

As she said that, she hunched over and left tremblingly. Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Baozhu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, "Grandma."

The old lady Xu glanced at her, then looked angrily at the sons and wives behind her, without saying a word, she broke away from her hand in disappointment.
