Liu Laifu hung his head in shock and didn't say a word.
When he came home, only the eldest daughter and the youngest son were at home.
"Where's your mother?"
"Liu Kui followed my mother to my grandma's house."
Liu Laifu had nothing, was tired, hungry, and dizzy, so he simply lay down.
Liu Chun looked at his father, they had heard what his mother said just now.
He doesn't want to have a mother anymore in the future. What if his father finds a stepmother for them?
He had wild thoughts. He never had enough to eat after having his stepmother. She was always beaten, and all the work in the house was his.
Would he be the same if his parents separated?
Chen He and his wife were really scared to walk at night. But they had to go back to their parents' home no matter what. Although Liu Laifu took the initiative to separate the family this time.
Liang Caixia gave one piece to the man, half a piece to each of her two daughters, and half a piece to each of her son and grandson.
"Grandma, my father was beaten so hard that his head bled today. He asked the village chief Zhang Luo to split up the family."
"Sister, when did you come back?"
"Hmph. If you know it's your fault, you're not completely stupid."
"What happened?"
Chen He also got up together. The two sisters worked together.
Chen He talked about the children's New Year's money and the suffering he had suffered at his in-laws' house over the years.
"Mom, it has nothing to do with my father and you. If I had been tough from the beginning, I would never be like this. I wish I had the same temper as you. My mother-in-law will be scared whenever she sees you."
When it was time to get up, Chen Tong was stunned for a moment when he saw the eldest sister.
"Mom, don't you need my elder brother and the others to go?"
"Go to the kang first. Four girls."
The couple could be said to have been jogging along. After entering the village, Chen He suddenly felt at ease, and that sense of belonging made her shed tears.
"Okay, let's go."
"Think about it for yourself, your father and we will go there tomorrow."
The couple went to Chen Dou's house.
Before Chen He could say anything, Liang Caixia said, "Go to your third sister's house now, tell her to come over in a while, and follow your father and the two of us to your eldest sister's house."
"No, let your third sister go with you. All of them together don't have your third sister alone."
Liang Caixia also got up and lit the kerosene lamp. She had a bad feeling in her heart.
He went back with the bowl. Chen Miao spread the egg pancakes again. Eat more, you may not have enough food at noon.
"You go and light the fire sticks and make some food for your eldest sister and Xiao Kui."
Chen Tong nodded, looking at the oily green onion egg pancake, he really wanted to eat it. But he didn't dare, he really didn't dare.
Liang Caixia asked the two of them to sit on the edge of the kang. They came here running and it wasn't that cold, but they would be sick after a while.
Looking at my daughter and nephew who came in with the cold wind, "What's wrong?"
Chen He couldn't eat and got angry.
After a while, Liang Caixia said, "I'll be there tomorrow."
Liang Caixia has a lot to ask her eldest daughter. It's not easy to move out of one family and into another. She has three children, especially Xiaoyan, who is already thirteen. If the mother doesn't look after her, what if those people with bad consciences are allowed to do so?
It is my daughter who will suffer the consequences and regret later.
"You were with them, but the three children didn't get well. You said you left. If Liu Laifu finds another one, what will happen to the three children?"
Chen Miao was washing the faces of two children. She heard a knock on the door and answered.
"If you can come back, just think about it yourself. If Liu Laifu really separates his family and promises to treat you well in the future, what would you think?"
Then tomorrow my mother-in-law will go over to preside over the family separation.
The eldest sister and Liu Kui came back last night, so you thought you must have been offended by your husband's family."
She also ate two egg pancakes, but she didn't eat them. They were quite delicious.
Chen He was still crying. When he heard the girl's cry, he didn't look up and just nodded.
"Mom, they are the children of the Liu family, what can we do?"
"Last night."
Chen Tong was holding the bowl, and his nose was filled with the aroma. He really wanted to eat a piece, but he finally held back. If the third sister knew that he was eating secretly, he would definitely not give him something delicious in the future.
"What do you want to do? What are you going to do with the three children?"
When Chen He heard what his mother said, he immediately shed tears. "Mom, I don't want to live with Liu Laifu anymore. I've had enough."
"That's because you are incompetent. If you had resisted the first time, you would never have been like this."
It was still dark before Chen Dou got up quietly. She wanted to boil water and cook.
"Mom, can you make porridge?"
"What's wrong?"
In the end I just ate one bowl.
"mother."
Your father and I have always felt sorry for you because of what happened with your husband's family."
"Mom, I'm worried."
"Mom, can I go back to our village? I will open up wasteland myself and I will be able to support myself. I will definitely ask the three children. If they want to follow me, we mothers can come together."
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay, you go back and tell mother that I will come over after dinner.
Soon Chen Dou came over to set the table and stir-fry cabbage.
She has already made egg pancakes, corn dregs, yam and red dates porridge for breakfast.
Chen Dou came in, "Sister?"
"Third sister, mother asked me to tell you to follow your parents to the eldest sister's house in a while.
"Mom, I'll come over." Chen Dou was already getting dressed.
Chen Dongsheng was startled when he heard the eldest daughter's voice of agreement, and immediately went out to open the door.
Brother Yunshan each ate a prawn, half a bowl of porridge, and half an egg pancake.
"Okay, I understand. You can finish your meal later and go to bed with your grandpa."
Chen Tong smelled the fragrance as soon as he came in, and swallowed secretly. He didn't dare to show it, as the third sister still knew her temper.
Arriving home, "Mom, my third sister gave me egg pancakes for you and my father."
"Well, mother, I'll go right away."
Children from poor families have long been in charge. Chen Tong probably also knew that the eldest sister had returned to her parents' home to complain.
"What are you worried about? Just think about what to do. Xiaoyan is going to have a family. Don't harm your daughter for the rest of her life.
The two of them stopped talking. Chen He couldn't sleep no matter what. What his mother said just now was right. She wanted Xiaoyan to get married no matter what.
But after a woman is heartbroken, even if the man makes some changes, it won't make any waves in the woman's heart.
"Mom, I don't know." Now my heart is filled with disgust for Liu Laifu.
"Mom, his father knows how to protect his mother, and his two brothers also protect his wife. He is the only one who will only ask me to be filial and obey his mother. If his mother cries with him, he will beat me when he comes back."
"Hurry up and eat on the kang."
The room was extremely quiet, she was the only one talking about her experiences over the years.
By the way, take the egg pancakes back to your parents."
Liang Caixia looked at her daughter, "What's going on? You can't remember it after so many years?"
Chen He took it back and said, "Mom, you eat."
"Eat it if I give it to you."
Chen Tong squinted his eyes while eating the egg pancake, it was so delicious.
In the morning, we also have corn dregs and yam porridge at home, as well as cold sweet potatoes. Whoever wants to eat can break them into porridge bowls. When the sweet potatoes are hot, the porridge will also be cold.
