Liu Fangming was scolded by Zhou Xuemei and felt extremely upset.
But she couldn't argue with Zhou Xuemei, after all, she was her elder.
She walked straight out of the hospital. Seeing that she was in a rage, Zhengkang quickly followed her.
Liu Fangming arrived at the chicken farm and saw Fengchan sitting quietly on a mat eating grapes. When he saw her coming, he didn't even move.
Xiao Min called out first, "Brother and sister-in-law!"
The two of them said 'hmm' at the same time.
Liu Fangming came close to Fengchan and lowered her voice, "Fengchan, let me hug you, okay?"
Fengchan took a grape and put it in his mouth, not realizing that Liu Fangming was talking to him at all.
Qian Shulan was fanning herself beside her and said to her, "Take Fengchan home. You finally made it back, so you should cultivate your relationship with him."
Fengchan is already three years old. During these three years, except for the first year when Liu Fangming could come back from time to time, in the past two years, the factory hardly had any holidays.
Children of this age don’t remember things. What happened today will definitely be forgotten the next day, let alone several months.
"Grandma, where is grandma?" Fengchan suddenly asked while eating grapes.
Qian Shulan wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Your grandma went to the county town to buy you some delicious food."
Could she say that your grandma can no longer take care of you and has to take care of your cousins? She could only tell a little lie.
Fengchan tilted his head and muttered, "What's delicious?"
Qian Shulan nodded her head and pretended to have forgotten. After a long while, she replied, "It should be something that tastes sweet in your mouth."
Fengchan opened his eyes wide, rolled over and got up, and shouted in surprise, "Is it candy?"
Xiao Min's eyes lit up and she climbed up from the mat, "It's candy!" Her mother would definitely give it to her.
The two little kids were jumping around holding hands, as if they were about to get candy.
Tears flashed in Liu Fangming's eyes. The son she gave birth to with great effort ignored her and only wanted his mother-in-law. She covered her face and cried for a long time.
Qian Shulan frowned and looked at her, "Why don't you take care of him more often in the future? Children are always close to their mothers."
Liu Fangming had a bitter face. She still had to go to work, so she had no time to take care of the child. She was really worried about leaving the child with her mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law obviously favors my second brother's child. She will definitely not be as good to my child in the future. What should she do
She turned her head to glance at Xiao Min, who had red lips, white teeth, a chubby face, and arms that were segmented like lotus roots.
Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she clasped her hands together excitedly, "Grandma, can you help me bring a good harvest?"
Qian Shulan didn't understand what she said, "Am I not taking care of him?"
"No, I mean you will take care of it from now on."
Qian Shulan raised her eyebrows, and seeing her eager face, she asked instead of answering, "How much money do you give me a month to let me take care of your children?"
Not paying a penny, only the boss and his wife are such idiots that they would do such a thing.
Just like she supports Xiao Min, she also needs the eldest couple to provide her with food.
Although the team also distributed food rations to children, it was not given unconditionally. It had to be offset by corresponding work points based on their age.
Qian Shulan used to deduct work points from Sun Daqin's account.
Sun Daqin had hardly earned any work points in the three years she led the production, so Qian Shulan asked her to pay for it.
It doesn't make sense that her own daughter needs her, an old mother, to help raise her.
Besides, only when you have made efforts will you remember your child. Qian Shulan wanted Sun Daqin to know that Xiaomin was also raised by her with her hard work and food rations, so she couldn't just ignore her.
So neither Wang Shouren nor Sun Daqin forgot this daughter.
Every time Wang Shouren came back from the county town, he would think of bringing something for his daughter.
As for why Sun Daqin didn't ask Zhengkang and his wife for money to raise the children, according to Sun Daqin, it was because they hadn't separated yet and there was no need to do so.
Qian Shulan just thought at the time, "Haha, if the family hasn't split up, why haven't they ever given you your monthly salary?"
Seeing that Sun Daqin looked like a family, Qian Shulan was too lazy to persuade her anymore.
Liu Fangming was stunned by Qian Shulan's question, "Money?"
Qian Shulan said as if it was a matter of course, "I have already separated from you. Do you want me to spend money from my own food rations to support Fengchan at my age?"
Liu Fangming turned his head and glanced at Xiao Min.
Qian Shulan naturally understood what she meant, "Xiao Min's food rations are all paid for by your parents-in-law."
Seeing that she wanted to say more, Qian Shulan raised her hand to interrupt her, "Even if I take care of him, Fengchan will be close to me, not you! Besides, I don't have time."
Liu Fangming lowered his head, glanced sideways at Fengchan, biting his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.
As the sun came up, Qian Shulan said, "Let's go back first!"
The two children started to put on their shoes, and Qian Shulan rolled up the mat and moved to the side.
Then Qian Shulan held Xiaomin's hand, while Liu Fangming and Zhengkang held Fengchan's hand and walked home.
Qian Shulan remembered what Zhou Xuemei had said in the morning, that she should go to the old house to get some vegetables when she left.
Zhou Xuemei planted several kinds of vegetables in her private plot, thinking of showing some filial piety to her mother-in-law.
Also, because the weather was hot, the vegetables would have wilted by noon when they were picked in the morning, so Qian Shulan was asked to come and get them herself.
When Qian Shulan arrived at the old house, she found the door next door was locked, so she went to the main house.
Liu Fangming poured a bowl of water and fed it to Fengchan.
He gulped down the whole bowl.
When Zhou Xuemei saw her mother-in-law coming, she hurried to greet her.
"Mom, wait here. I'll go pick some vegetables for you."
Qian Shulan nodded, then sat in the main room, watching Li Chunhua making clothes. However, the more she watched, the more she felt something was wrong. "Hey, what did you do today? Didn't you already have the clothes cut when I left this morning? Why are you only making one sleeve now?"
Li Chunhua was a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and said, "When my sister-in-law came back this morning, she asked me to make two sets of baby clothes for her."
Qian Shulan said, "She really works hard. She didn't buy ready-made clothes at the county department store when she had the cloth coupons, but brought them home for you to tinker with."
"Mother, my sister-in-law doesn't have cloth coupons, but she does have cloth, which you gave us before, saying it was fine cotton cloth for making trousers."
It was a long time ago, Qian Shulan couldn't remember it clearly, she just said "oh".
Liu Fangming came over at this time and said, "My mother-in-law has kept that piece of cloth hidden for several years. She never thought of making one for us. How can you say that she is too much?"
Qian Shulan was stunned for a moment, squinted her eyes and looked at Zhengkang, her voice a little deep, "Do you think so too?"
Zhengkang felt his heart tighten for some reason, and his palms began to sweat. He turned pale with fear, and didn't speak for a long time.
Qian Shulan looked at the frightened Zhengkang and said quietly, "When your mother-in-law comes back, I'll ask her to separate you two. Then she won't make a fuss all day long."
Liu Fangming and Zhengkang were both startled, and then looked at each other, "Why?"
Qian Shulan said coldly, "I think you are just ungrateful and heartless. Your mother hasn't been to the fields for more than two years to bring you a good harvest, and she has to buy her own food with her own money. You don't even feel grateful to her at all. I think you are just spoiled!"
Zhengkang's face turned red. He had an instinctive fear of his grandmother. Her eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts and illuminate the ugliness in their hearts.
Every time she spoke, he would prick up his ears to listen, for fear that he would anger her again.
It had been several years since he had been scolded by her, and now that he was reliving it again, his face suddenly became hot and every muscle in his body was tense.
He knelt down in front of Qian Shulan, his face pale, "Grandma, I was wrong. I will definitely give money to my mother in the future. Let's not split up the family."
Liu Fangming was stunned. He didn't expect Zhengkang to be so cowardly. Why? They didn't split up. Why should he give money
If they don't spend their money now, when the time comes to divide the family property, they won't have a share of the old couple's money.
Just seeing Qian Shulan staring at her, Liu Fangming subconsciously lowered her head.
Qian Shulan felt bad looking at these two things, she didn't want to care about it anymore, "It's up to your mother to decide." Sun Daqin would never be angry with Liu Fangming. I guess they'll split up the family when they come back from the county.
Thinking that his grandmother had softened her heart because of his kneeling, Zhengkang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground.
Zhou Xuemei came back at this time and handed the basket in her hand to her mother-in-law.
In the basket were a handful of leeks, a handful of beans, a few cucumbers and a few tomatoes.
Seeing Zhou Xuemei sweating profusely, Qian Shulan smiled and said, "Hurry up and wipe your sweat. I'm going home."
Zhou Xuemei nodded, picked up the towel on the back of the chair and started wiping it, watching her mother-in-law holding Xiao Min's hand and walking into the yard.
Fengchan saw his grandmother was about to leave, and hurriedly followed her out.
Liu Fangming quickly hugged him. Fengchan was so scared that he screamed, his mouth twisted, and he started crying again.
Qian Shulan had a headache and was about to turn around to take the child, but she saw Liu Fangming carrying Fengchan directly into the house.
The crying was hysterical, Qian Shulan felt distressed, and said to Zhengkang, "If you two can't coax the child, send him to me. Your mother should be able to come back in a few days."
Zhengkang quickly agreed.
Another week passed, and Sun Daqin and Xu Lizhen came back together.
Qian Shulan went to see it specially, she had never seen such a beautiful child.
She has black hair, fair and translucent skin, long eyelashes, beautiful eyebrows and a pink little mouth.
"She's not even fully grown yet, but she's already so beautiful. How beautiful she will be when she grows up. She simply has all the best qualities from her parents."
The two children look almost exactly the same, but they look more like Xu Lizhen, with only their eyebrows and noses being different from Zhao Zhengguo.
Sun Daqin was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling while holding the child.
Wang Shouren also returned from the county town today.
Of course, Liu Fangming and Zhengkang also came back. Zhengkang came back because it was his day off, while Liu Fangming came back on leave because her mother-in-law told her that she had something to ask her to go back for.
After several friendly families had seen the child, Sun Daqin talked about dividing the family property.
This was done with the permission of Qian Shulan. Wang Shouren originally didn't want to divide it, but Sun Daqin insisted on doing so. Plus, his mother agreed, so he had no choice but to accept it.
"You guys keep the money you earn. We can still work now, so we don't need you to support us in our old age. When we can't work anymore, the three of you will take turns to support us in our old age. We will use part of the money we save to marry Zhengjun and give Xiaomin a dowry, and part of it for our own old age. You guys have kept all the money you earned over the years, and I have never asked for your money."
In fact, this division is the same as before.
All the things in the house belong to Wang Shouren and his wife.
"The work I have in my hands will be handed over to the third brother in the future. We need to agree on this in advance."
Liu Fangming bit her lip tightly, feeling unwilling. Her father-in-law's salary was over 60 yuan a month, while Zhengkang only made 38 yuan, only half of his.
"Dad, you gave all the jobs to the third child, but you gave us nothing. Is this appropriate?"
Everyone looked at Liu Fangming.
Wang Shouren didn't say anything, but Sun Daqin rolled her eyes at her. "What's the problem? You all have jobs, only the third one doesn't. So you have to give it to him."
Liu Fang was so famous that her eyes widened. Her parents-in-law were so partial to her that everyone else also took their side.
Zhengkang was very distressed. Why did the family still get divided
"Zhengkang, if you eat at home in the future, you still have to hand in your rations, but you have to give me the rations from the high yield."
Zhengkang nodded. Liu Fangming wanted to say, "No need, I can support him myself." But thinking of his job, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
