Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Coming Back
Xiao Le understood her mother’s thoughts, but this way they would truly be without parents. With a father whose personality was like that, he would rather stay single all his life than spend it with someone like that.
"Mom. We’ll have no mother in the future."
"No, I will still be your mother."
Everyone watched Sun Yun’s resolute stance and didn’t know how to persuade her.
Sun Yun, while working in the fields, said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, come with me."
The men of the Sun Family had no choice, so they went out to prepare.
Zhao Qingxiang grabbed Sun Yun’s arm, "Xiao Yun, you’re wrong, how could I not consider you family? My wife?"
Sun Yun sneered. "I can’t afford that from you. Your kind of family means I work myself to death with housework while you go out and be the good big brother, good son."
"Xiao Yun, what do you want from me to forgive you?"
"Just don’t appear before me, and I’d thank you. In the future, whatever you want to do, no one will stop you; doesn’t that just suit your heart?"
"Xiao Yun, I’ve promised you, just trust me one more time."
The three children also pulled at Sun Yun’s hand, "Mom, don’t leave us. Dad has promised, if he does it again, you can leave then."
The three daughters burst into tears. Sun Yun’s eyes reddened too.
"Xiao Yun, I mean it, I really won’t go out and be the nice guy anymore."
Sun’s mother also advised her daughter. For a woman, going from one family to another is truly not easy.
In the end, Sun Yun still went home with the father and three sons.
Back home, Zhao Qingxiang was extremely cautious.
That night, Sun Yun also made handmade noodles for her daughters, and cooked them eggs.
The couple had nothing to say, even if Zhao Qingxiang spoke, Sun Yun wouldn’t respond.
After dinner, the family sat on the kang, husking corn.
Everyone knew Sun Yun was in a bad mood. So no one said anything.
They went on like this, the five of them husking corn at home every day. This way, they should finish before the New Year.
Every day, Sun Yun cooked delicious food for her three daughters and even killed a chicken, serving them fine grains daily.
They used to send some over to Zhao Tian and his wife, but this time Zhao Qingxiang didn’t dare mention it.
Zhao Tian and his wife also felt uneasy, upset at their daughter’s offense, and the eldest son not visiting anymore.
One day, the five of them were grinding corn.
Zhao Tian came over. Zhao Qingxiang went to him, "Dad."
"Go over and help out with the tasks."
"I still have tasks at home." Zhao Qingxiang was really scared.
"When can’t these tasks be done?"
Sun Yun was infuriated hearing this. "We take on tasks as just the two of us, in the future don’t come to us if you have tasks.
Since we separated from each family, we do our tasks ourselves, no one helps us, and we don’t have the strength to help others.
After working like animals for a year, even animals need rest; if we’re worn out, no one cares besides our own family."
"Dad, let Qing Jie and his wife go by themselves; even before, when you were with me, we never made you or mom do anything."
"Qing Jie’s two sons, if they don’t save up, what will they do in the future?" Zhao Tian regretted his words immediately. He saw the three granddaughters watching him, so he awkwardly left.
When the Little Year Festival arrived, the family started preparing to slaughter pigs early in the morning.
If they hadn’t fought last time, the pork would have been sold off by the nun’s help.
"Mom, let’s wait until my uncle arrives to slaughter the pigs." Zhao Xiaole said.
"Sigh, I just wanted you to have more to eat."
"Mom, we’re fine."
Zhao Qingxiang didn’t dare to have an opinion this time.
Sun Yun sighed, "Let’s slaughter them. Zhao Qingxiang, go ask Director Feng if the operations department wants pork.
Keeping them just wastes grain, and they will eventually run out anyway."
Zhao Qingxiang drove to find Feng Baoshan. Of course, they needed pork here, and offered a good price.
In the end, Sun Yun decided to slaughter both pigs. This way, they wouldn’t have to bother the nun.
Their family of five was quite capable, and by the afternoon, they had processed both pigs.
Sun Yun saved the pig hind legs for the two nuns; when they come next time, she would give them half each, over ten pounds per family.
The household kept the offal, bones, and pork front. Still, they delivered 150 pounds of pork.
Upon his return, Zhao Qingxiang handed the money to Sun Yun.
That evening, Sun Yun braised ribs for her three daughters.
Although there wasn’t much meat left, it was still meat, and the family eat with relish.
Zhao Tian also knew his older son’s family was slaughtering pigs today, but even by bedtime, he hadn’t come to deliver the meat.
Zhao Tian had initially thought things would be fine, that his honest eldest son would come through for them with his second son around.
But seeing how things are now, it wasn’t going to work. He regretted his words from that day.
Knowing that his granddaughters would someday be successful, saying such things really wasn’t right; he was just provoked by his eldest daughter-in-law that time.
An Lixia lay down with a sigh, "Husband, my waist hurts."
"Waist hurts? How could it?"
"I don’t know, just like when it was just the two of us living on our own."
Zhao Tian knew it was from exhaustion.
"From tomorrow, don’t do anything, let them handle it."
"Even if I wanted to, I can’t do it, this year hasn’t been any less demanding than before."
Zhao Tian sighed, helpless, continued to endure, as the second son was cunning; even though the couple came over, his workload hadn’t increased compared to before.
This year was slightly better, with herbs earning more than grain.
The next morning, Zhao Tian had his second son prepare breakfast.
During the meal, he told them, "Your mother’s health isn’t up to it, she won’t be doing housework anymore."
Qi Xue Mei smiled unnaturally, not because she was lazy, but who would choose to work when there’s happiness to enjoy?
Zhao Qingjie nodded, "Let my mom rest, Xue Mei is here."
The words said so, but An Lixia couldn’t simply ignore everything.
The family separation agreement was clear, so this year Sun Yun hadn’t planned to invite them over for meals.
Only her family, she still made dumplings for her daughters every day.
In her words, she herself had been fed enough. No need to give to those ingrates.
Now the two families had little to no interaction.
Xu Hongbing, on his part, also cooked good food for his two sons every day.
He never used to cook, but since coming back, he had taken on all the cooking duties.
Hai Jun had also started to open up recently and would talk to Xu Hongbing.
Haifeng would follow whatever his brother did.
However, the two brothers wouldn’t play with Liantang. Xu Hongbing was very pleased to see this, and he doted on Liantang excessively, almost to the point of pampering him into the skies. Even at this age, he still fed him every day, carrying him around lovingly, much to Zhao Xiaojing’s delight.
