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

When Xie Jiaojiao got home, Sun Ruhua was already cooking. She was still very happy. Seeing Xie Jiaojiao coming back, she smiled and said, "At noon, let's use the last bit of bacon from last year to stir-fry the cabbage. Mother remembers that you like it."

Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything, just responded, then started peeling the cabbage on the doorstep.

I feel very uncomfortable!

While on the way, I was thinking about asking for clarification when I got back.

But she was also afraid that she might have wrongly accused Sun Ruhua based on hearsay, so even though she was unhappy, she still forced a smile on her face and faced Sun Ruhua, thinking that she would ask her to confirm it tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Zhang Doufu and his wife drove a bullock cart to deliver tofu to her family. Sun Ruhua was shocked: "Girl, why do you buy so much at once?"

"A friend of Shopkeeper Chen has ordered 500 jars of fermented bean curd from us. He will be very busy in the next few days!" Xie Jiaojiao replied calmly.

Sun Ruhua opened her eyes wide and counted on her fingers how many jars there were in five hundred jars, but she couldn't figure it out after a long time. However, she knew that if she couldn't figure it out, it would be a lot of silver!

Xie Jiaojiao looked at the tofu, then at the firewood under the eaves, and said to Xie Zhiyi, "When you go to Tian Hu's house, tell him that we buy four bundles of firewood from him every day! Ask him to deliver to us starting tomorrow. If he is willing to accept the money, then you can let him deliver. If not, we can buy from someone else."

Xie Zhiyi agreed and ran out.

The following afternoon, the mother and daughter, one cut tofu and the other steamed tofu. When Xie Zhiyi came back, he helped to light the fire.

I was busy until midnight before I finished cleaning up everything.

Xie Zhiyi had already gone back to his room and gone to sleep.

Sun Ruhua called out to Xie Jiaojiao: "You should go to bed soon too. Mom can take care of the rest!"

Xie Jiaojiao did not give in, but let Sun Ruhua go to rest.

In the end, the mother and daughter finished together and went back to the room to sleep together.

Before going to bed, Sun Ruhua said, "Tomorrow I will go to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo and weave some bamboo boards. Otherwise, there is no way to put all the things in. And I have to wash the jar, otherwise it won't be dry when the time comes!"

Xie Jiaojiao hummed: "Okay, Mom, go to sleep, we still have to be busy tomorrow!"

Only then did Sun Ruhua fall asleep.

But Xie Jiaojiao couldn't sleep, thinking about what the two women in the village said today. If Sun Ruhua was really like that, wanting to help both sides and take care of both ends, what should she do?

How will she choose?

If Sun Ruhua did not make her mindset and attitude clear, and she continued to indulge Sun Ruhua's indecision, in the end, the only ones who would be controlled would be the three of them.

Xie Jiaojiao thought to herself that if that time really came, she would have no choice but to abandon Sun Ruhua as her mother!

The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao said that she was going to town, but she didn't say what she was going to do. She ate a steamed bun, drank a bowl of porridge, and went out!

However, she did not go to town. Instead, she went out and found a place to hide until she saw Sun Ruhua go out and then come to the old house.

She watched as Xie Zhili smiled and opened the door for Sun Ruhua, then handed the child to Sun Ruhua...

Xie Jiaojiao felt that for a moment she was very disappointed with Sun Ruhua!

Xie Zhiyi got up only after returning home silently.

"Sister, you are at home today!"

Xie Jiaojiao asked Xie Zhiyi: "Where's mom?"

Xie Zhiyi looked around and said, "Mother must have gone to wash clothes!"

Xie Jiaojiao gave a bitter smile. How could a farmer have so many clothes to wash every day?

Xie Zhiyi went to the kitchen and scooped up some rice himself.

He also asked Xie Jiaojiao if she wanted to eat steamed buns.

It can be seen that Xie Jiaojiao's expression is not right, so he asked Xie Jiaojiao again: "Sister, why don't you look happy?"

Xie Jiaojiao looked at him: "Zhiyi, if mother still can't let go of Xie Zhili's family and wants to move back to the old house, will you follow mother or sister?"

Xie Zhiyi put down his chopsticks immediately after hearing her say this: "Sister, did mother go to the old house?"

Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything, but silence represented her agreement.

Xie Zhiyi couldn't help but his eyes turned red: "Does she not want us anymore?"

Do not want?

“She wants it both ways.”

Xie Jiaojiao walked up to Xie Zhiyi and asked, "What about you? Do you want to follow me or mom?"

Xie Zhiyi hugged Xie Jiaojiao's waist: "I want to follow my sister and mother, we will not separate!"

Xie Jiaojiao touched his head and said nothing.

Sun Ruhua came back at about noon, smiling. But when she pushed open the gate and saw Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Zhiyi sitting on the doorstep, she froze for a moment, then smiled again and said, "My daughters are back. I'll go cook now."

Xie Jiaojiao and Xie Zhiyi just stared at her without saying anything.

Sun Ruhua felt a little uneasy: "What's wrong?"

"Mom, where have you been?" Xie Jiaojiao asked directly.

Sun Ruhua looked a little unnatural: "I saw that there was nothing to do at home, so I went to the village for a walk and talked to your Aunt Wang."

"Oh? Really? But why did I see you go to Xie Zhili's house?" Xie Jiaojiao said, standing up.

Sun Ruhua's eyes were somewhat embarrassed: "Um...um...Mother was just passing by, and saw that it was really troublesome for him to take care of the child alone, so she lent a hand."

"You still lied to me?" Xie Jiaojiao's face also showed anger.

This frightened Sun Ruhua, and she hurried forward: "My dear, my dear, I didn't lie to you. I just felt sorry for him taking care of the child alone..."

"Is he pitiful?" Xie Jiaojiao was almost laughing out of anger.

Xie Zhiyi held Xie Jiaojiao's hand.

She cried to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, how can he be pitiful? He and my eldest brother drove us out of that house. They sold me, beat me, and forced you to die. Have you forgotten all that? Don't you want me and me anymore?"

Sun Ruhua waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, Mom just felt that he couldn't take care of the child by himself, so I just wanted to lend a hand!"

Xie Jiaojiao's eyes turned cold as she looked at her. She held Xie Zhiyi's hand and said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, you feel sorry for him, but I am not sorry for going to town to sell things in the cold wind every morning? Zhiyi is not sorry for going to the river to catch crabs every day? They have nothing to do every day and come to our house to cause trouble from time to time. You actually feel sorry for him?"

Sun Ruhua was speechless. To her, both the palms and the backs of her hands were her flesh!

"Jiaojiao, what do you want mother to do? Don't you know that baby was so tiny? When mother held him, he looked like he was almost dying! Your second brother..."

"He's not my brother! I've severed ties with him a long time ago!"

"But……"

"Since mother feels pity for them and has sympathy for their family, mother will pack up her things and go live with them!" Xie Jiaojiao finally said these words...

Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Jiaojiao in disbelief: "Jiaojiao, are you trying to chase me away?"
