Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 206 The Fool Wakes Up

Mrs. Xie has three sons. She originally wanted to have a daughter so that she could get a dowry in the future, but the youngest one ended up being a son.

So he was very dissatisfied with his youngest son and often exploited his family to support the eldest and second sons' families.

That year, the youngest son was driving a tricycle while fatigued and it overturned into a ditch, resulting in the death of both the couple.

Old Mrs. Xie had no one to suck her blood from, so she turned her attention to her youngest son’s three children: Xie Dayong, Xie Xiaozhi, and Xie Xiaoya.

She often enslaved her three children. When Xie Dayong resisted, Old Lady Xie hit him on the back of the head with a stick, turning him into a fool.

Xie Xiaozhi and Xie Xiaoya are twins. When Xie Xiaoya was 15 years old, Mrs. Xie exchanged Xie Xiaoya for a bride in order to marry her eldest son Xie Yaozu.

Xie Xiaoya was later tortured to death by the gangster Song Guangzong. Xie Xiaozhi went to the Song family to seek justice, but was beaten by them. Disheartened, he ran away from home and his whereabouts are unknown.

A few years later, while Xie Dayong was sleeping under a tree, an apple hit him on the back of the head. When he woke up, his mind was much clearer and he remembered many things.

Looking back over the years, it feels like a dream.

While working hard to make money, he also tried to find his brother's whereabouts. Unfortunately, he never found him. Finally, he died unwillingly in front of his sister's grave.

"I want the three of us, my siblings, and our parents to be well."

"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.

……

The year when Xie Laosan and his wife had the accident, Xie Dayong was 8 years old, and Xie Xiaozhi and Xie Xiaoya were only 5 years old.

Sheng Jiang thought for a moment and called out to Xie Lao San, who was about to go out. "Dad, do we have to go to the mountain today?"

"Yes, Dad will go pull some wood and make some money, which will be enough to pay your tuition," Xie Lao San touched his head.

"Dad, are you sure the money you earn can pay for our tuition? And not be taken away by that old woman?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's your grandma!"

"Grandma? Does she treat us as her grandchildren? Whatever good things she has, she saves them for the children of my eldest and second uncles. When has she ever given us a single bite to eat?"

Xie Laosan looked at Sheng Jiang in shock.

Sheng Jiang continued, "Does she treat you like a son? For so many years, my uncle and second uncle haven't worked, but look at their families, they've built brick houses, but ours is still a dilapidated cave house!"

Where did they get their money? Didn’t that old woman give it to them? Where did she get her money? Didn’t she ask for it from you?

"Sometimes I really can't understand. Can't you see how grandma treats us? Or are you deliberately deceiving yourself, trying to get her attention through your self-righteous filial behavior?

If you think that old woman is more important than us, then today, I will take my younger brother, sister and mother out together."

Xie Laosan looked at Zhang Yunmeng and said, "Wife, do you think so too?"

Zhang Yunmeng felt a little uncomfortable, but still said, "Qiangzi, I know you are filial to your mother. For so many years, I have endured it for you. The children are grown up, and I don't want to endure it anymore. I always have to consider the children's future.

If you continue to suck their blood, that's your business. Let's divorce and I'll take the children away. I won't interfere with what you do in the future."

Xie Laosan's expression was painful. "Does it have to be like this?"

Sheng Jiang gave him the memories of her previous life, "See for yourself, what kind of life did the three of us lead after you and Mom left?"

Xie Laosan was shocked. "How could she do this? How could she! Wife, I'm not going to the mountain today. Let's split up and live on our own!"

As she was talking, Old Lady Xie came over and asked, "Old Third, why are you still at home?"

Xie Lao San said nothing. Old Mrs. Xie didn't care either. In her eyes, Lao San was the most obedient dog.

She held her waist in a pretentious manner and said, "Third brother, my waist hurts again. I don't know what's wrong with me. Give me some money and I'll go to the hospital."

"How much do you want?"

"500 yuan"

"What? 500 yuan? Why don't you just rob it?"

Perhaps it was the first time that Third Brother Xie resisted. Old Lady Xie was shocked for a moment, then flew into a rage. "Third Brother, what's with that attitude? Your mother is sick, and as a son, shouldn't you pay for my medical treatment?"

As he spoke, he took out his crutch and was about to hit Xie Laosan, but Xie Laosan grabbed it and threw it to the ground.

Old Mrs. Xie stumbled and almost fell to the ground. She simply sat on the ground and howled at the top of her lungs, "It's so unfair! My son doesn't care about me anymore. Everyone, come and see!"

Xie Laosan looked at her coldly.

The neighbors came over quickly. In a village, everyone knows each other well. Who doesn't know each other?

Someone who had a problem with Old Lady Xie said, "I'm telling you, you're always exploiting your third son. If you're sick, why don't you go after the eldest and second sons? You're only targeting the third son's family."

Old Lady Xie stopped howling and asked, "What's it got to do with you?"

"Of course it's my business. You're howling like a mourner, and it's ruining my mood."

Seeing the village chief coming over, Xie Lao San said, "Uncle Cheng, I want to split the family business."

Village chief, "Have you thought it through?"

Old Lady Xie jumped up from the ground and said, "No! I don't agree!"

"Whether you agree or not, I have already decided to divide this family! Over the years, you have taken nearly a dollar from me. These days, building a house only costs two or three thousand. The money for building the houses of my eldest and second brothers' families was all taken from me by you."

"You are my son, what's wrong with taking some money from you?"

"So only the eldest and second brothers are your sons, and I'm nothing? Forget it, there's no point in saying this. What's done is done. Just consider it as repaying your kindness in bearing me. From now on, we'll have no further connection!"

Before Old Lady Xie could say anything, Sheng Jiang glanced at her. She nodded in agreement, as if under control, and placed her fingerprint on the severance agreement. She then followed Old Third Xie to the police station to change her household registration.

After that, Xie Laosan still often went out to do business, while Sheng Jiang took the two little ones to the river to fish every day.

In this era, the river water is not polluted, the fish is delicious, and you can enjoy it in various ways, such as braised, steamed, spicy, pickled, hot pot, and barbecue.

Zhang Yunmeng suddenly had an idea, "Qiangzi, why don't we stop pulling wood from the mountains? It's too dangerous. Why not open a restaurant in the county? It just so happens that the private economy has been completely liberalized now."

"also."

The family went to the county town and made an agreement with some good people in the village to have them deliver fish to the county town as a source of supply.

There are a lot of people in the county town. In addition to serving fish, small restaurants also open night markets in the evening. People eat barbecue, drink beer and chat.

But the family of Old Lady Xie in the village had a hard time.

Without Xie Laosan as her blood supply, the old woman had no one to take care of her. She didn't want to do housework herself, so she ran to the old man's house.

The eldest daughter-in-law was cooking. Seeing her coming, she stood up reluctantly, took a steamed bun and a plate of pickles, and said in a bad tone, "Eat it."

The eldest brother frowned, "How do you talk to Mom?"

"What should I say? Forget about coming to eat, but you always come at mealtime. I only cook for the few people in our family. If one more person comes, who should eat less? You? Or the children?"

"Old man's wife, what do you mean? Old woman, I'm not old enough to be unable to move, and you're already starting to despise me? When I asked the third brother for money, you didn't have this attitude."

"Mom, you are the pillar of the family, who would dare to look down on you? There is really no extra food at home. If you don't mind, just eat it first, okay?"

Old Mrs. Xie took a walk around and found that the bottom of the pot was indeed scraped cleaner than her face. She knew that no one in this family cooked for her at all.

"Then can't you just make a new one? It won't take much effort."

"Mom, you sound so easy, but I still have a lot of work to do at home. I have to wash Guangzong's school uniform later, and then I have to go to the fields. How can I have time to cook for you?"

Xie Laoda also spoke up, "Mom, since you can move on your own, just cook for yourself. Or you can go to the second brother's house, it's the same. We have a lot of things to do at home, how can we take care of you?"

Old Mrs. Xie was furious. After all, this was her most favored child since childhood, so she couldn't bear to scold or beat him. She silently transferred her hatred to Mrs. Xie: This bitch must have thought that my son and I were alienated!

Old Mrs. Xie arrived at the second son's house at dinner time, but found that the stove was empty.

"Second daughter-in-law, why haven't you cooked yet?"

"Mom, you're here? Come on, sit down and drink some water first."

The second son's wife's enthusiastic attitude made the old lady very satisfied. "I'm saying that now that the third son's family is gone, you have to find a way to make a good living. How can you not even cook?"

"Hey, Mom, you know I can't cook at all. I never cooked at my parents' house before I got married. After I got married, you took care of everything at home and outside, so I didn't need you anymore.

Later, the third daughter-in-law cooked for the whole family, so I was no longer needed.

Now the third brother's family has severed ties with us, and we have separated. It will take us a while to adapt.

I'm not saying this, Mom, how could you agree to the third son's split? Who can we turn to when we need money in the future?

Old Mrs. Xie also regretted agreeing to the separation. In fact, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she regretted it every time she thought about it. She had even gone to the village chief to ask for the severance agreement she had signed.

The village chief said, "The third brother has already moved his household registration out. Even if I give you the severance certificate, it's useless. Legally, he and you are no longer family, and he doesn't have to support you anymore."

It was useless to regret now. The old lady said stubbornly, "Humph, I worked so hard to raise him, and now he's an ungrateful bastard. He just said he'd break off relations with me, and that's it! He doesn't even care about the mother-son relationship!"

A son like this should be considered dead! I don’t believe that without the third son, our family can still not survive.”

Second Sister Xie curled her lips. As a vested interest holder, she knew that without the third brother, the family's lifeblood, conflicts would surely increase. Therefore, she had to salvage as much as possible before the conflicts erupted.

"Yes, yes, Mom is right. Mom, Yaozu will be going to junior high school soon, and the school requires tuition. Can you give me some money?"

"How much is the tuition?"

"200 yuan"

When Mrs. Xie heard that it wasn't much money, she relaxed and said, "Okay, I'll give it to my good grandson later."

Mrs. Xie was happy. "Mom, you are so kind. There is one more thing..."

"What's the matter?"

"The second son wants to go to the mountains to pull wood, which is what the third son used to do. But driving someone else's car only earns a meager salary. The second son and I decided to pool our money and buy a tricycle. When we make money in the future, we will definitely honor you well."

"Buy a tricycle? How much does that cost?"

"The third child bought his car early and spent more than 1000 yuan. The second child wants to buy a durable one, which will cost about 2000 yuan."

Mrs. Xie calculated that the old lady might only need about 2000 yuan.

Seeing that my mother was a little hesitant, the second son quickly massaged her legs and said, "Mom, the third son was able to make money before, and I am no worse than him. I will definitely make money too. Believe me, Mom, when I make money, I will definitely take you to the city to live a good life."

After a series of persuasion and assurances, Mrs. Xie agreed.

Mrs. Xie was delighted. "Mom, you are my real mom. Wait for a moment, I'll go cook right away!"

"Wait a minute, don't you know how to cook?"

"Um...I just learned it those two days ago. Someone has to cook for our family from now on, so we can't always rely on you, right? But if the food isn't delicious, please bear with me, Mom."

After a while, Mrs. Xie looked at the dark food on the table with a frown on her face, "Second son's wife, what is this?"

"Cabbage"

"Why is it so dark?"

"Oh, maybe they added too much soy sauce. Want to try it?"

Mrs. Xie took a bite and spat it out. "Pah! This is too bitter! How much salt did you put in it?"

"One spoonful."

"How is that possible? One spoonful is so salty?"

“No, it’s a spoon for rice.”

Old Mrs. Xie's face darkened. "How could you waste food like you? Don't you know how much salt I usually put in my cooking? Doesn't salt cost money?"

"Yes, Mom is right, I will definitely improve in the future."

Seeing that she admitted her mistake in a good manner, Mrs. Xie stopped talking and got up and left: You have to go home quickly and drink more water, it's so salty.

The Xie couple looked at Old Lady Xie's back and smiled at each other, "Wife, you've got a really good trick. Mom won't come to our house for dinner anymore, right?"

"That's right." Second Sister Xie was proud. "If she comes again, we'll serve her some dark cuisine."

After Xie Ersao got the money, she took out a few hundred yuan and asked her second son to buy a second-hand tricycle.

“Is the quality of second-hand goods guaranteed?”

"Do you really want to go to the mountains to pull wood? The road there is so difficult to travel on. A new car can be driven like an old car. Why not buy a used one and fool the old lady? You don't go out often anyway."

When Mr. and Mrs. Xie saw that the second son's family suddenly had a car, they guessed that the money was given by the old lady. They were very unwilling and also went to find a reason to ask for money.

The old lady had no money left, so naturally she didn't give it to them.

The eldest son's wife was very angry: It turns out that the usual pretending to love the eldest son the most was all fake.

She complained about the old lady in front of the children every day and even instigated Guangzong to go to the old lady's house to ask for things, and bring all the delicious and useful things to her home.

After a few times, the old lady was so angry that she fell ill several times. She overcame each time by herself.

This time, I was so angry that I became ill again. I had a stroke. My mouth was crooked, my eyes were squinting, and I drooled constantly. I lay in bed, almost dying.

The village chief couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Second brother, drive your tricycle to take her to the hospital immediately. Otherwise, if anything happens to her, your whole family will go to jail. It will also affect your son's chances of getting a civil service exam in the future!"

When they heard that their son was involved, Mr. and Mrs. Xie quickly drove out, threw the old lady into the car, and took the eldest family to the hospital.

I'd bought a used tricycle on a cheap price, and it was severely overloaded. When we hit a steep slope, the brakes failed, and we all flipped into a ditch. As luck would have it, there was a deep pool below. Thus, the whole family reunited in the underworld.

As for the family that abused Xie Xiaoya in the previous life, Sheng Jiang also arranged for their entire family to be without descendants and to have bad luck for the rest of their lives.

Humph, don't you like to continue the family line? I'll let you do it!
