Du Zhu and Du Zhu were sent out to herd cattle and mules, and Du Zhu hesitated to Zhou's bedside alone.

"Mother, don't cry, I left sweet potatoes for you. You eat it while it's hot, it's cold, and your stomach is uncomfortable with acid reflux. Du Zhu patted Zhou's back.

"Wow!" Zhou burst into tears.

Dajin came in, and the Zhou family knew that this man with elm lumps had a round belly by himself, and he didn't care whether she lived or died. It's still a son, biological, in the end, I think about her, even if I'm hungry, I save a bite for her.

Zhou turned over and sat up: "Zhu'er, my mother doesn't eat, my mother is not hungry, you eat by yourself." ”

Du Zhu stuffed the sweet potato into Zhou's hand, didn't say anything, and bowed his head and went out.

Zhou held the warm sweet potato, and tears finally rolled down from his eyes.

While eating sweet potatoes, she calculated in her heart that men were unreliable. It's all good, but it's not as good as your own son. Her three sons are shoulder to shoulder, and the eldest is 17 years old, and she is about to reach the age of marriage.

As the old saying goes: "A daughter-in-law for many years becomes a mother-in-law." "In a year or two, I will soon become a mother-in-law, but there is still a dead old woman on top of this. If this happens today after I have a daughter-in-law, what will I do to scare my daughter-in-law?

Zhou stuffed the last piece of sweet potato skin into his mouth, and suddenly an idea came to him, split up!

That's right, it's a separation! She was delighted with the idea she had come up with.

Her parents are gone, and her five brothers have long since split the family. She doesn't go back often, but she also knows that they live comfortably, and she even secretly envy them.

Now, Du Erjin is dead, two bedrooms and one room are girls, losing money and goods, and now there is a little debt collector, so many mouths have to rely on their big house to work to support.

And Sanfang relied on her own money, and didn't take her sister-in-law in her eyes at all. Under the pretext of studying and taking exams, he rarely helped with the work in the fields, and he also ate from the public school. The in-laws are even more partial, and they are blue-eyed.

When Zhou calculated this, he was surprised to find that the big house was really at a loss!

If the family is separated, Dajin and his three sons are all strong laborers, and within three or five years, her Zhou family will definitely be able to marry a good daughter-in-law with three rooms, and then her mother-in-law will be majestic.

The idea of separating the family was in Zhou's heart, like setting a fire in a field where the rice was cut after autumn, and although there was no raging flame, everything was set on fire.

Speaking of separation, it is very taboo in the countryside. If the parents are dead and there are many brothers, they will naturally separate and set up their own doors. And if the parents are alive and the brothers are separated, it is for unfilial piety, and they will be poked in the backbone by the neighbors and have a bad reputation.

Zhou is bent on the benefits of being the master of his own house after the separation, and he can't care what others think or think.

She made up her mind, and she was not sad, so she got out of bed and went straight to the kitchen. Her appetite, how can a sweet potato fill up?

Xu woke up early, she stayed in her own room, she was in good spirits, she didn't want to go out and touch the moldy heads of the two old men.

Du Mei and the others who had breakfast dispersed, so they sent Du Ying and Du Tao and helped Xu Shi to the kitchen, after all, the fire had been burning in the morning, and the kitchen was warmer than their house.

Du Mei took out the rice soup and sweet potatoes from the stove. Pour the little brown sugar you found in the kitchen last night into the rice soup and stir it with a spoon.

Xu Shi looked surprised: "If your grandma knows about this, she will kill you!" ”

"I'm not afraid, grandma beat us, when did you tell the reason? Mother, drink it quickly. Du Mei handed the rice soup to Xu.

Xu didn't dare to refuse, she was afraid that someone would come in and see the denunciation in a while, and their family would be scolded and beaten again. What's more, now that the second gold is gone, and without the blessing, some people will intensify and be unscrupulous.

Xu sat in the warm kitchen and drank up the hot brown sugar rice soup. Du Mei added her a bowl of boiled water, and she slowly ate the sweet potato, her eyes resting on her four daughters.

In the past few days since Erjin's death, she felt a little more relaxed in her heart, and her brows were not so tight.

"Wow, tell me to catch it this time." A shrill female voice shattered the peace in the kitchen.
