When Meng Xiaoman arrived home, Xiao Xiangdong was washing clothes in the yard. When he saw her coming back, he subconsciously stood up, but forgot that his legs could not use force, and his body swayed.

After all this time, he still hasn't gotten used to his body.

Meng Xiaoman quickly ran over to help him.

"Is everything okay?"

"Why are you back?"

Seeing that there was no one in the yard, Meng Xiaoman told him that Shen Jiaojiao had hit her, paid for her medical expenses, and came back to recover from her injuries.

"Where is the injury? Is it serious? Let me take a look."

Xiao Xiangdong asked nervously.

Meng Xiaoman said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I hit my leg, but no bones were hurt."

After saying that, he paused, and then asked tentatively: "Isn't it a good idea for me to ask her for compensation like this?"

Xiao Xiangdong shook his head, "You did the right thing. She hurt you, and she deserves compensation and an apology."

In the original novel, Xiao Xiangdong is a person with a strong sense of justice and responsibility. Although Meng Xiaoman does not care what others think of her, Xiao Xiangdong is her husband now, and the two of them have to be tied together for a long time and get along well. It's still necessary.

She doesn't have a temperament that can suffer losses, and she doesn't plan to change it. Therefore, I tried to test Xiao Xiangdong's views. It would be best for him to understand and then unite with himself.

If not, there's nothing you can do about it, just keep it hidden from him in the future.

As for herself? It is impossible to change.

"By the way, didn't I tell you about that night?"

Meng Xiaoman told everything about the intrigue between Shen Yuru and Shen Jiaojiao and how she was implicated.

In this way, even if she targets Shen Jiaojiao in the future, she will have a good reason.

After the two of them talked, Xiao Xiangdong continued to wash clothes.

Seeing a large tub of clothes piled up, Meng Xiaoman couldn't help but say, "Why do you wash so many clothes? How can they have the nerve to dump all their own clothes on you? You don't even know how to refuse."

Meng Xiaoman took a look and saw that except for the two coats they were washing, the others belonged to other people in the family.

Before, the eldest brother and the second brother's clothes were washed by the two sisters-in-law, and Xiao's mother washed the clothes of Xiao's father and Xiao Xixi.

But since Xiao Xiangdong was injured and unable to work, many of Xiao's mother's housework tasks were given to Xiao Xiangdong.

When the two sisters-in-law saw Xiao's mother throwing clothes to Xiao Xiangdong, they also wanted to throw their clerk out. Both of their families work together. Xiao Xiangdong doesn't work, but they eat the food they earn together. Why don't they help with the work at home?

However, because of Xiao's father and Xiao's mother, the two sisters-in-law did not say anything directly. They just slowly experimented, first letting one or two items be washed, and then they became clothes for the eldest and second brothers, and then children's clothes. Until now, except for All the underwear was thrown into the wash by Xiao Xiangdong.

Xiao Xiangdong also mentioned that this was inappropriate.

But the two families said that they were one family and it was no big deal to do laundry. They also said that it would save time and they could earn more work points.

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao also thought it made sense, so they continued like this.

"I can't work, so I can only do these jobs. Otherwise, wouldn't I be a freeloader in the eyes of some people?"

Xiao Xiangdong's tone contained self-deprecation.

Eating free rice is what his family often says about him.

"What are you doing for free? You are a sick and disabled soldier. Even if you don't work, the team will not provide you with rations. Besides, don't we still have me in our family? I will support you from now on."

After enough rations have been paid to the state and retained by the collective, the brigade's rations are distributed according to the principle of seven hours of work per person and three hours of work. Even if the sick and disabled households like Xiao Xiangdong are unable to work, they can still be allocated a certain amount of rations to ensure that people will not Starved to death due to loss of labor force.

Not to mention free rice.

Xiao Xiangdong's focus was not on this, "Really? Are you willing to support me?"

Meng Xiaoman: "Of course it's true, why are you lying to me!"

Xiao Xiangdong smiled leisurely and said, "Okay, then it's time for you to work hard."

Meng Xiaoman's bright smile made his cheeks slightly red, "Ahem, it's not hard, then just call me by my name."

The head of the house sounds like an old man.

She is a beautiful girl!

"By the way, let me ask you something. Tell me the truth." Meng Xiaoman lowered her voice and said.

Seeing her sneaky look, Xiao Xiangdong couldn't help but smile and nodded in agreement, "You say it."

"That's right, um, I want to separate and live alone, is that possible?"

After saying that, Meng Xiaoman stared at his expression.

She could tell that Xiao Xiangdong's relationship with his family was not very good, but she didn't know to what extent this bad relationship could go.

She was not afraid of raising Xiao Xiangdong, but she didn't want to deal with the Xiao family's large family.

When Xiao Xiangdong went to join the army, a big reason was that he didn't want to stay in the Xiao family.

After he had to come back due to injury, he also thought about living alone. However, firstly, his legs were disabled and he could not go to work, which made it inconvenient to do many things. Secondly, he had not yet married, so there was no reason to separate and live alone.

In fact, even if Meng Xiaoman doesn't mention it, he will bring it up when the time comes.

"Okay." Xiao Xiangdong nodded, "Whatever you want, I will support you! But, now, I'm afraid it's not possible. You have to endure it for a while."

Meng Xiaoman didn't expect to separate the family immediately, she just wanted him to have an attitude.

Seeing that he agreed readily and his tone didn't sound like he was lying, he suddenly felt a sense of ridicule in his heart.

"Then if your parents and I fight, curse, or break up, will you stand by me?"

"Yeah, I'm on your side."

Xiao Xiangdong replied without thinking.

Meng Xiaoman was shocked by his straightforward tone. The words were not serious, but they penetrated her eardrums and struck her heart.

"Okay, as long as you say this, I will have no problem raising you for the rest of my life."

After Meng Xiaoman finished speaking, he went to prepare meals.

Xiao Xiangdong looked at her figure steadily, with a smile in his eyes.

This was the first time someone said they wanted to raise him.

It was also this sentence that later became a sentence that a certain maniac who showed off his wife often used to show off.

There were many green vegetables planted in the Xiao family's private plot. Meng Xiaoman pulled out a Chinese cabbage, picked a handful of peppers, spring onions, and two radishes, and came back to stir-fry.

Xiao Xiangdong was lighting a fire under the stove, and his eyes twitched when he saw Meng Xiaoman poking a large piece of lard into frying cabbage. Before she could remind her, she poured a lot of salt and soy sauce and vinegar into it.

Good guy, that dosage is enough for two days at home.

Seeing that Xiao Xiangdong was hesitant to speak, Meng Xiaoman explained aloud: "It won't taste good without the seasonings. My parents and I are doing physical work. If we don't eat more oil and salt, our bodies won't be able to bear it."

Of course, the most important thing was herself. The Xiao family's cooking was too bland and she had no taste at all.

Xiao Xiangdong nodded, "Yeah, if Mom talks about you later, just say I was the one who caused it."

Stewing hot and sour cabbage, Meng Xiaoman then washed the radish, cut it into thin strips, and made a cold shredded radish, which was simple and appetizing.

The staple food is sorghum pancakes and corn ball porridge.

After cooking, the Xiao family workers haven't come back yet, but a few children have come back from outside chattering.

Several children complained that they were hungry when they came to the yard. Xiao Zhengjin sniffed and went to the kitchen in a familiar way.

But as soon as his hand opened the lid of the pot, he was caught by Meng Xiaoman.
