When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

Today is the Little New Year, so Su Shengguo's family of five also came back.

Logically speaking, they should have a lively reunion dinner, but at this moment, everyone in the Su family looked unhappy.

Old Mrs. Su was pushed by Tian Aixiang and fell to the ground, breaking her waist. After being discharged from the hospital, she has been lying in bed recuperating. Because she was angry that Tian Aixiang pushed her, she hated Tian Aixiang to the core. She tortured Tian Aixiang in various ways every day, saying that this was not to her liking or that was not to her liking. If Tian Aixiang was the slightest bit unwilling, she would run to the yard on crutches and cry and say that her daughter-in-law was abusing her mother-in-law, and she wished that the whole village could hear her shouting.

As for Tian Aixiang, she had a falling out with her brother and sister-in-law from her natal family, and now she can't go back to her natal family, for fear that Old Mrs. Su would instigate Su Shengli to divorce her. She is already at this age, especially since Su Tao was shot in such an ignominious way. If she leaves the Su family, she will have nowhere to go.

So, he had been enduring this period of time in misery, and because he was tortured so badly by Old Lady Su, he became much more pale and thinner.

When Su Shengguo and his family came back this time, they were also angry.

The last time Zheng Erlian and Su Qing met, after Su Qing reminded her, Zheng Erlian learned the truth about Grandma Su's injury. At that time, their family had already paid half of Grandma Su's medical expenses.

That's nearly 40 yuan, a considerable amount of money. It would take their family a long time to save it.

An angry Zheng Erlian ran to the hospital to argue with Tian Aixiang. The two sisters-in-law even had a fight over this, but in the end the money was not recovered. For this reason, Su Shengguo and Zheng Erlian were both furious.

So, when Xiaonian came back today, both of them didn't look very good.

Old Man Su looked at the dishes on the table with a gloomy face. This year, their Su family not only suffered heavy financial losses, but also almost lost their reputation. Let alone other things, the two events of Su Qing's separation from the family and Su Tao being shot were enough for their Su family to not be able to hold their heads up in the entire Lihua Village.

But now, during the Little New Year, there are only a few dishes on the table, which is nothing compared to previous years.

"What's going on? Today is New Year's Eve, and you are just fooling around like this!" Old man Su knocked on the table with his pipe. This pipe was the one that Su Qing broke. Old man Su asked a carpenter to make a new pipe.

"Dad, there's not much meat this year, and we have to save some for the New Year." Tian Aixiang pursed her lips and said.

In previous years, the family had enough money and the pork distributed by the village was not enough, so they would go to the black market to buy some pork. Therefore, during the Chinese New Year in previous years, there was a lot of meat. Together with the chickens raised at home and the smoked fish stored at home, they could make a large table of sumptuous meals.

But this year, the family's money was flowing out like water, and Grandma Su didn't dare to say anything about the little money left, so naturally the quality of the food was lowered.

Su Shengli was also very unhappy. He glanced at Su Shengguo and said, "Brother, you knew that our family was in financial difficulty this year, but you didn't even bring some meat back when you came back. Look how wronged our parents have been."

It would have been fine if Su Shengli hadn't said these words. When Zheng Erlian heard Su Shengli say these words, she immediately became unhappy: "Third brother, look at what you are saying. What do you mean we don't bring back some meat? How much is your eldest brother's monthly salary? We pay on time every month. We have three children to raise at home. How much money can we have? Don't forget that the last time Mom was hospitalized, our family paid more than half of the medical expenses. Logically, Mom's waist injury was caused by your wife, so the money should be paid by you two. In the end, we paid more than half of it, and you still ask us for meat. I say, you can't be so unreasonable. You can just squeeze me and your eldest brother dry."

"Sister-in-law, what you said is meaningless." Although Tian Aixiang was afraid of Old Lady Su, she was not afraid of Zheng Erlian. She glared at her and said, "Don't forget, it was our parents who helped us pay 500 yuan to buy our brother's job from that bitch Su Qing. You two didn't pay a penny. In total, our parents paid for the job, but our brother has the job all by himself. Your family also keeps the salary, and you're still not satisfied? You should know that the money in our parents' hands will not only belong to you in the future, but also to our family. This is equivalent to our family paying half of the money to buy our brother's job. Who is unreasonable? You should think about it yourself."

When Zheng Erlian heard this, she immediately became angry and said, "Your eldest brother did the job, but don't forget that our family gives our parents ten yuan every month. How much does your eldest brother get in salary? The city is different from the countryside. Everything costs money. With just over twenty yuan, our family of five lives a tight life. But how much do you and your third brother pay for our parents every month? Do the math in your mind, don't feel like you've been shortchanged all day long."

"We haven't suffered any loss yet?" Tian Aixiang slammed the table in anger. "You and Big Brother are living a carefree life in the county town, Shunli and I are at home taking care of our parents. You are taking all the benefits, so how can we take advantage? Isn't it just that your family has a little more medical expenses this time? Why, as the son and daughter-in-law, can't you pay for some medical expenses when Mom is sick?"

"Is it a question of medical expenses?" Zheng Erlian said angrily, "If mother is sick, we will pay for the medical expenses without you telling us. But why is mother hospitalized this time? Don't play dumb. If it wasn't for you, a good daughter-in-law, who beat her up, would mother be hospitalized? Bah, you are supposed to be at home serving your parents, and this is how you serve them? Which daughter-in-law beats her mother-in-law into the hospital? If you search all the villages in Xiyuan County and the surrounding areas, you will find only one weirdo like you."

"What did you say? Say it again?" Tian Aixiang stood up and pointed at Zheng Erlian's nose and scolded: "No matter what I do, it's much better than you not taking care of your parents-in-law and hiding away in the county town to enjoy a leisurely life."

"Bah, stop flattering yourself." Zheng Erlian said angrily, "You're the only one in the world who has beaten my mother-in-law into the hospital. How dare you say that?"

The two sisters-in-law were arguing fiercely. The children looked at each other, but no one spoke. Su Shengguo and Su Shengli were also silent. They both felt that their families had been wronged, so they naturally would not stop their wives from arguing for justice. In the end, it was Old Man Su who knocked the edge of the table heavily with his pipe and said angrily, "It's New Year's Day, can you just calm down?"

Su Mei muttered quietly, "If Su Qing hadn't blackmailed our family for 500 yuan and made the whole village treat our family as a joke, even the food on the table wouldn't be so shabby today."

Su Lihui slipped out to use the toilet, and when he came back he said, "That damn girl Su Qing is back."

Old Mrs. Su, who had been silent with a gloomy face, said, "Go, call that damn girl over here. She hasn't given us our pension money for this year."
