This is not the only thing that shocked Mother He. She simply looked at Li Chunhua care for her daughter. She even spoke softly as if he was afraid to frighten her. Looking at Lin s.h.i.+heng again, he was also peeling peanuts and handed them to He Xuezhu to eat.

How is this marrying a daughter? It's clearly marrying an ancestor ah!

A normal mother would surely be happy that her daughter would be so cared for by her mother-in-law and husband, but she only has her son left in her head and want to show him off in front of her in-law's so that she can borrow money easily! She immediately throws the melon seed peel in her hand to the ground and scolds her, "Xuezhu! What's the matter with you?! Aren't you only pregnant? How can you do nothing, and let your mother-in-law and husband wait on you? How could a wife be like this!? How dare you!”

He Xuezhu was grateful to receive a gla.s.s of water handed over by Li Chunhua. She heard her mother's harsh voice and her body subconsciously became stiff. In addition, she was already uneasy about her mother-in-law doing things when she was resting. She was just about to stand up…

Lin s.h.i.+heng stretched out his hand and stopped her, holding his wife's hand with the same smile on his face: “Mother, none of us knew that Xuezhu was pregnant before. My mother said that she went up the mountain to collect herbs some time ago, so we are not at ease.”

“What are you worried about? Xuezhu can run to the mountain alone at the age of eight, carrying a medicine basket. How could she be so delicate?”

Back then, Li Chunhua in addition to hating Mother He, would also hate her daughter-in-law. But now she; as a mother-in-law did not mind taking care of He Xuezhu. Mother He; this birth mother isn't embarra.s.sed to stop her own daughter from resting.

Thinking about it, this woman came running to their home frequently. Which time was it not to take advantage of them? She never saw them care about Xuezhu.

Li Chunhua immediately felt that it was foolish of her to hate her daughter-in-law because she hated this mother of hers.

It is a sin to have such a mother!

How could she let a little girl; at the age of eight, go to the mountain to collect medicine? How much did Xuezhu suffer before getting married?

Somehow, getting along for three years… He Xuezhu has been taking good care of her respectfully and appropriately. She can hardly look down on her. In the beginning, before the matter of selling the daughter. What did the family do to her?

Seeing that Mother He wanted to say something again, Li Chunhua thrust up her waist and began to scold, “Did I say you can see Xuezhu? What the h.e.l.l are you doing at our house? Quickly say what you want, or shut up and hurry away! Are you waiting for me to give you some food or something??!"

Mother He looked pale when she was scolded, but she could only swallow the rest of the words and laugh. “Look at you, how can you still be angry after saying all that?”

“It's just that my Xiaobao. Although he is quite young, he is also the father of two children. His wife just gave birth so she couldn't get out of bed. She can only take care of the children in the house every day. Xuezhu's father went early, we; this widow and orphan, really have no income, so …”

Li Chunhua was too lazy to even smile: “So you came to my house to find s.h.i.+heng?”

“What do you want with our s.h.i.+heng? Only looking for him when you have no money?! Let me tell you. Dream on!!"

“Mom, don't worry.”

Lin s.h.i.+heng stood up and gently smiled and coaxed Li Chunhua to sit down, and look at the scolded He Xiaobao who could not lift his head.

“Xiaobao, although we are not related by blood, in the bottom of my heart, I have always treated you as my brother. Tell me the truth, I brought money home to build a new house this time. Do you want to build a new house too?  If you do, I'll show you away. ”

He Xiaobao moved his lips a few times, wanting to say that he didn't have such a grand wish. He just wanted to borrow some money to play cards. However, Mother He on the other side looked forward to the new house as soon as she heard about it. Before her son could answer, she quickly helped answer it.

“Yes!! He certainly wants to! “

“s.h.i.+heng, Xiaobao also wants to be as promising as you. Xiaobao is your brother-in-law, so you must help him!”

On the side, Li Chunhua and He Xuezhu were both shocked. Li Chunhua was worried that her son was too kind and really promised them something. He Xuezhu completely knew her relatives.

He Xiaobao, although he did not beat and scold her as a sibling; he was too spoiled to suffer. He could not bear any pain and not be offended. He had thicker skin than anyone and liked to eat alone. His sisters were not valued at home. They were always neglected in the family. He Xiaobao was always hogging the bed. Even when there was something good to eat and drink, his mother and wife were not allowed to touch them.

If he entangles s.h.i.+heng, what should she do in the future …

Lin s.h.i.+heng, however, looked straight at his brother-in-law in front of him as if he hadn't seen Li Chunhua's face and He Xuezhu quietly pulling his arm and clothes. “Xiaobao, if you really want to make money to build a new house, I'll take you to the army.”

Before he Xiaobao could speak, his mother was shocked: “Army?? That's no good, that's no good. The army is too hard, our Xiaobao can't eat such bitterness!”

“Er… Mother-in-law, you don't know that… I have a bit of a high position in the army. If Xiaobao were with me, wouldn't I be able to take good care of him?"

Lin s.h.i.+heng said as he was loosening his wife's hand and turning to his mother-in-law. He looked at her with tenderness: “All the hard work of the army is abroad. Those who stay in the army are not required to do anything for food and shelter, but they get clothes and allowances. This is the amount of one month's salary.”

He said and made a gesture to the mother and son duo.

Mother He's eyes suddenly lit up, even He Xiaobao; who was afraid of hards.h.i.+p, began to waver…

Although he was doted on in his family, he always had little money on hand. After all, when his sisters got married, the money given by their husband's family had already been spent. He Xiaobao also had a labor-hating temperament. His wife had to take care of the children, and his mother was weak, and the land that the family owned couldn't yield much, so they just had enough for food and clothing every year.
