Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Sun Ruhua sorted herself out in the main room, then got up and went back to her room.

Not long after, Xie Jiaojiao saw her again. She came out of the room, walked out of the house directly, and headed towards the direction of the village chief.

Xie Zhiyi pulled Xie Jiaojiao and asked, "Sister, what did you say in the room just now?"

Xie Jiaojiao squatted down and asked him seriously: "Zhiyi, if your sister said that the eldest brother and the second brother wanted to separate the family, what would you think?"

Xie Zhiyi lowered his head, kicked the dirt on the ground with his straw sandals, and said nothing.

Xie Jiaojiao lowered her head to look at him, and he immediately turned his head away. It was not until watermarks left by raindrops appeared on the ground that Xie Jiaojiao realized that he was crying.

Oh, I feel so sorry for her. In her previous life, she also had a younger brother, who was much younger than her. She was in college while her brother was only in kindergarten. But that brat was like a devil, not at all like Xie Zhiyi in front of her who was sensible and sensitive.

Xie Jiaojiao hugged him in her arms: "Why are you still crying?"

Xie Zhiyi reached out and wiped his face: "Who is crying? I'm not crying! Dad said that a real man won't cry." His voice was filled with tears.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and said, "Let's split up. Don't worry, I will support you in the future. Don't be afraid. I will make sure you grow up happily."

When Xie Zhiyi heard her say this, he suddenly stopped crying and started to sniffle.

Listening to his slurping sound, Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of her younger brother who was only in the first grade at home, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid. You still have your sister and mother. Mom and I won't abandon you, okay?"

Xie Zhiyi pursed his lips and said nothing, tears as big as beans falling from his eyes like strings.

Children from poor families have to grow up early. Of course, he understood the meaning of his elder and second brothers wanting to divide the family business. They thought he was a burden and didn't want to keep him around for nothing. However, he had been working very hard. He didn't even dare to eat the meat of the stewed sparrows at noon. He just drank more soup.

Xie Zhiyi looked at Xie Jiaojiao for a long time and said, "But you will get married in the future."

"Who told you that?"

"Xie Qian and Xie Kun, when my father just passed away, they said in front of me that they wanted to throw me away and that I was eating for free in this family."

Xie Jiaojiao was so angry when she heard this, and saw Xie Qian and Xie Kun playing in the yard.

She said to Xie Zhiyi, "Just watch here and see how I deal with them."

Xie Zhiyi pulled Xie Jiaojiao and shook his head: "Sister, don't, the eldest and second brothers will be angry."

"What are you afraid of!"

After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she walked towards Xie Qian and Xie Kun, who were playing cricket fighting.

Xie Jiaojiao kicked them directly and stomped them to death.

Xie Qian and Xie Kun quit immediately.

"Aunt, you stepped on our crickets to death."

Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, "If they're dead, they're dead. There are so many of them in the field, you can just catch more."

Xie Qian and Xie Kun refused to do so, especially Xie Qian, who was already thirteen years old, but the moment he opened his mouth he started howling, just like his mother. It was disgusting to look at him!

Xie Jiaojiao slapped him directly: "Why are you howling? I told you there are plenty of crickets in the field, and I told you to catch them yourselves. Why are you howling and scaring me?"

After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she patted her chest, looking frightened.

Xie Qian had never expected that he would be slapped, and he immediately started crying: "Xie Jiaojiao, wait for me."

Slap! Xie Qian was slapped again.

"You are disrespectful. Didn't your mother teach you not to address elders by their first names? You can also call me by my first name?"

Xie Qian was slapped on both sides and immediately turned around and cried to find Xie Zhishu and Chen Hongju.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at Xie Kun: "Do you want to get slapped and go back to cry to your parents?"

Xie Kun immediately covered his face and shook his head: "Aunt, it's okay, I can just go to the field and catch more."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded in satisfaction, looking at Xie Kun while rubbing her shoes on the ground a few times.

Xie Kun just felt that his aunt was so scary, so he turned around and went to the backyard to find his father.

Looking at the two figures running away, Xie Jiaojiao walked to Xie Zhiyi and asked, "Do you feel better now?"

Xie Zhiyi swallowed his saliva, and forgot to cry on his face: "Sister, you were so scary just now!"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and touched his head: "Don't worry, I won't do that to you."

Seeing her son running in crying, Chen Hongju looked at the red slap marks on each side of his face and was about to jump up: "Who hit him?"

Xie Qian cried and said, "Mom, it was Xie Jiaojiao who beat me!"

Chen Hongju immediately rushed out to avenge her son.

Xie Zhishu hurriedly grabbed her.

"Boss, why are you holding me back? I want to go ask Xie Jiaojiao why she beat our son!"

"You're crazy! We just mentioned the separation of the family, and now you're going to cause trouble for Jiaojiao. Isn't this stabbing mother in the heart? When the time comes, mother will be unhappy. Will you be happy if you don't separate the family and continue to support those two burdens?"

Seeing that his father didn't give him a chance, Xie Qian was unwilling to do so and started to make trouble in the house. Xie Zhishu slapped him again and said, "Behave yourself these two days and don't mess with your aunt!"

Xie Qian wanted to make a fuss, but as soon as Xie Zhishu raised his hand, he dared not speak anymore.

Chen Hongju was very unhappy. Why was she beaten by that damn old woman, and her son was also beaten by that damn girl!

Looking at the wound on Xie Qian's face, she felt distressed and anxious. She couldn't just let this matter go like this!

Sun Ruhua didn't come back until it was almost dark. The whole family was watching her and everyone watched her leave.

Dinner was another pot of dumpling soup, but Xie Jiaojiao thought it was not tasty and had no flavor. The pickles were called pickles, but they were not salty at all, as if not enough salt was put in, only sour.

After dinner, Sun Ruhua took out a purse from her bosom and poured it on the table: "I sold a piece of land in the east this afternoon, and I got a total of six taels of silver. Here are three taels of silver. I spent three taels to redeem Meng'er. This is Meng'er's receipt."

Sun Ruhua handed it to Xie Zhishu and Chen Hongju.

When Xie Meng'er saw that the document was returned, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She finally didn't have to marry that old rogue.

Chen Hongju tore the document into pieces.

Then the first and second wives looked at the three taels of silver on the table, their eyes shining.

Xie Zhishu asked, "Mom, about the division of the family?"

Sun Ruhua felt even colder in her heart when she heard his question: "Don't worry, the three of us won't be a burden to you. The village chief will come to our house tomorrow morning to preside over the division of the family."

"Mom, that's not what I meant..."

Sun Ruhua snorted, put the three taels of silver on the table into her pocket, and went straight back into the house without saying hello to anyone.

After cleaning up the dishes, Xie Jiaojiao got her some water. When she entered the house, she found that her stepmother was hiding in the house and crying silently again.

I sighed in my heart: "Mom, be careful, even if you cry your eyes out, my elder and second brothers won't change their minds."

Sun Ruhua wiped away her tears and said, "Mom is not crying for them. I am crying because I miss your dad."

Xie Jiaojiao didn't expose her either.

"You've been running all afternoon, soak your feet."

"It's still my daughter who is caring." Sun Ruhua said.

Xie Jiaojiao shook her head in her heart: It’s not that a daughter would feel sorry for others, it’s just that your two older sons have no conscience.

"Mom, don't worry. When the family is divided, you and Zhiyi will stay together. I will support you."

Sun Ruhua felt relieved when she heard her say this, but she said, "What nonsense! You are a girl, and you will get married sooner or later."

Xie Jiaojiao did not answer her.

After she finished soaking her feet, Xie Jiaojiao blew out the light and talked with her in the room for a while. Seeing that her mother didn't respond much, she tiptoed out with the footbath water.

As soon as she arrived in the yard, she saw a dark figure holding something rushing towards her under the eaves next to her.

Xie Jiaojiao simply poured the basin of foot washing water in her hand over.

I saw the black shadow making “Pooh” sounds several times.

Only then did Xie Jiaojiao realize that this was Chen Hongju. Chen Hongju must be seeking revenge for the beating she had done to her son in the afternoon.

"Sister-in-law, why is it you?" Xie Jiaojiao pretended not to know.

The water for washing feet had already turned cold, and winter was about to come. Chen Hongju was shivering from the cold.

"Aunt, what are you splashing?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Oh, this is my mother's foot washing water!"

"Ah..." Chen Hongju threw away the stick in her hand and ran away.

Xie Jiaojiao sneered: Idiot!
