The eldest brother came over a few days late, and the difficulty is that the third and fourth children also came together. Liu Hong's heart knew that this meant something big. For her mother-in-law to live here for a long time, she is mentally prepared. I went out to prepare lunch with the same expression.

Liu's mother and Cheng's mother are basking in the sun in the yard, the morning is still sunny, this is a bit of a false cloudy day, the white clouds floating in the sky often block the scorching sun, but it also makes the two old ladies sitting in the small courtyard too much to chat. The big black dog also lay next to the wheelchair, like a guard, and did not leave. The four brothers in the room talked about where the old lady went.

"Second brother, I see that my mother has been much better recently, and I didn't cry when I saw us this time. ”

"Fourth, they all said that it was the sequelae of cerebral infarction, and my mother is now like a child, just eat and be in a good mood, and there is someone next to me to talk to him, so why are you crying. ”

"Second brother, these are the conditions on your side. Even if we want to, we have no power there, so we have to go out to earn money, how can we have time to accompany our mother. And I got married in October, and my mother can't go back to me. The third child was not going to ask the old lady to go back.

"The third brother, how do you speak, isn't the mother of the third brother and sister you serving. The mother-in-law can manage it, but her mother can't do it when it's her turn. Before Cheng Qing could speak, the boss spoke dissatisfied.

"Big brother, I rented a one-bedroom apartment there, where did my mother live? You can't ask your daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' house for a month. At most, I will take the money and you will serve, and give 100 to my mother and 100 to hire you. ”

"Third brother, isn't your 200 yuan a good thing to spend, and now hiring a nanny to serve the elderly will cost 1,000 yuan to lay the foundation. The fourth man teased.

"Fourth, of course you have a lot of money when you open a big supermarket, and two hundred yuan is a lot of pain for a poor person like me. I don't have a backache when I am standing and talking. The third child replied.

"The third child, don't cry poor about your mother, when you divorced your third sister-in-law, the house was given to the third sister-in-law, but half of the money was discounted to you. You could have rented a bigger house. Cheng Qing looked at the third brother who was slamming the door and said.

"Second brother, you have a wife of a great writer, and you don't take money as money. I still want to buy a small room to live in with my tens of thousands of dollars, or I don't even have a place to poke a stick when I'm old. ”

"The third child, we don't know how much money Liu Hong can make, the second child's money is almost spent on his own surgery, and we all know that my mother is hospitalized and has a large number of stalls, and we all understand that you want to save money to buy a house. But don't take your money too seriously. The eldest looked at the younger brothers and said, I have to say that what he said is still to the point. It's no wonder that he was rehired by the unit, which is said to be level.

"Second brother, the eldest brother spoke directly, your sister-in-law is determined to divorce me, and now she won't go home. It's really inconvenient for my mother to come back to me again, I will take 400 yuan a month, and let my mother live with you. They are all brothers, not to mention whether they are hired or not, that little money should be used to buy snacks for my mother, and you and your second siblings will work harder. The eldest brother continued.

"Yes, second brother, my supermarket can't do without people, if you find a nanny, you don't worry, it's better to do your best with your second brother and sister-in-law. I get 500 yuan a month, and I have a big deal to catch up with my mother, just talk about it. The fourth child then said what he meant.

"Okay, I think you are more generous than me, I can only take three hundred at most, and my mother-in-law still has to take money to support the elderly, and the two of us will have to eat chaff vegetables. The third scoundrel said.

"Since my buddies mean this, I won't say anything, you also know my body, and it's not certain how long I can take care of my mother. I will take care of my mother for a day when I live, and you can all look at the money, but I don't want my brother to open his hand and ask you. Cheng Qing said helplessly. Things really made me and Liu Hong expect it, it's one thing for my mother to be reluctant to leave, and it's another thing for my brothers to not want to serve. It's impossible to say that you don't get angry without being lost.

Liu Hong was busy washing vegetables and picking vegetables, listening to the conversation of several brothers in the house, and did not notice that the two old ladies had entered the kitchen. But the big black dog came over and bit Liu Hong's trouser leg affectionately.

"Mom, why don't you stay in the yard? ”

"It's really cloudy and cold outside, we have been in for a while, and your mother-in-law has been holding my hand without squeaking, and she has heard what they say. Liu's mother said apologetically.

"Mother-in-law, you and my mother go to that house to warm up for a while. I've boiled some millet porridge for you, and it's already cooked, so it's hot to drink. Liu Hong said with a smile, and the person was also ready to push the wheelchair into the opposite room.

"No, my son is here, I... I... I'll go in and see, and see. Cheng's mother said unfavorably.

Liu Hong motioned for her mother to come over, and she helped her mother-in-law who was about to get out of the wheelchair into the house. The brothers also looked at the old lady with their mouths closed.

"How, how not, not said, said. It's all disgusting, disgusting, me, me. Is it not, is it?" the old lady broke free from Liu Hong's support and climbed onto the bed, and said inarticulately.

"Mom, why are you like this, you were fine when you came. The boss said anxiously.

"Call, call you, you, breath... Angry. ”

"Mom, we don't dislike you, it's just that the conditions of the second brother here are better than ours, and we pay for the second brother and sister-in-law to contribute, which is also very good." ”

"At the beginning, it was not good to say that it was not good to say this. Now, now it's okay, it's okay. Your second brother is sick and sick, and your second and second sister-in-law are good people, and you bully people. I'm just superfluous... It's better to be dead. ”

"Mom, I don't think it's hard, you live here with me, and I can take care of the second child. Liu Hong said to her mother-in-law with a smile, and for a moment her own heart was very sad, these words should not have been heard by the old lady. has raised four sons, and now there are good reasons not to want to serve their mother. If money can supplement family affection, it is not a return for nurturing.

"That's it, Mom, everyone is busy, so you can live with me with peace of mind. Liu Hong also reduces the time for writing, we will take good care of you. Cheng Qing also said. He was really afraid that his mother's condition would worsen after he was in a hurry.

"You, you..." Cheng's mother pointed to her sons and couldn't go on. When I was in the old family, I listened to my daughter-in-law talk about the boss every day, how the old disease recurred, and I was having a little concubine outside. Don't be ashamed of your home and so on. The old lady felt like a punching bag.

When I was at the third son's house, there was no one to talk about, but the house was always deserted, eating cold meals and cold dishes at noon, and sleeping hungry at night. The subject came over, and he didn't have a good face. If she doesn't come, the third child can still watch TV with her, but when she comes, she abducts her son. The old lady felt like an outcast.

In the fourth child's house, the food and drink are all good, but no one talks or anything at home, and the fourth daughter-in-law is also in a hurry at noon every day, and she is so busy that she doesn't even have time to eat by herself. At that time, she felt that she was a burden, a burden.

Speaking from the heart, the old lady is willing to stay in her second son's house, and only here can she regain the joy of life and feel that life is a beautiful thing. Now she is really angry when she sees the performance of her sons. This rush is a bad thing. One fell on his back and fell on the bed.

"Mom, Mom. The shouts of the four sons sounded beside her, and the old lady's heart was so cold that she didn't want to answer.
