At noon, Zuo Dengfeng finally saw his village, Wu Xinyu was a little nervous about seeing his mother-in-law, Zuo Dengfeng told her that his mother was very kind and easy-going, and Wu Xinyu was relieved.

Because the weather was very cold and there were no villagers and neighbors on the street, Zuo Dengfeng asked the coachman to drive the mule cart directly to the door of his second sister's house.

Pushing open the courtyard door, I found that the second sister's family was having lunch in the main house, and the dog in the yard knew Zuo Dengfeng, barked a few times and wagged his tail.

"Second sister, where is our mother?" Zuo Dengfeng led Wu Xinyu to push the door into the house, and the second sister had already come out of the main house.

"Xiaofeng is back." The second sister was very surprised to see Zuo Dengfeng, and her expression was extremely unnatural.

"Well, it's back. Eating, second brother-in-law, where is our mother? Zuo Dengfeng walked into the main room, glanced at the dining table, and found that there was a nest of sweet potato noodles on the table, and the nest head held by several nephews and nieces was cornmeal, very small, not much bigger than an egg, and a bowl of steamed cabbage was placed in the center of the table.

As soon as Zuo Dengfeng said this, the room immediately fell silent, the faces of the second sister and the second brother-in-law became very ugly, and several children also grabbed the unfinished nest and looked at their uncle timidly.

"What's wrong?" Zuo Dengfeng smiled dryly, every time he came over, everyone would warmly welcome him, and a few nephews would pester themselves to ask for candy and snacks, why is the atmosphere so strange today.

"Dabao, go and call your aunt and uncle-in-law over, and say that your uncle is back." The second brother-in-law put down the sweet potato nest in his hand and said to the eldest son who was sitting by the kang, who immediately turned around and ran out when he heard the words.

", get the table down." The second brother-in-law opened his mouth to the second sister who climbed the peak on the left.

"Second brother-in-law, what's going on?" Zuo Dengfeng asked suspiciously.

"Let's talk about it when your eldest sister comes. Come on, let's get on the kang. The second brother-in-law stretched out his hand and tried to pull Zuo to climb the peak to the kang.

"Second sister, where is our mother?" The second brother-in-law's expression made Zuo Dengfeng feel strongly ominous, and he reached out and grabbed the second sister who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll make you some." The second sister did not answer Zuo Dengfeng's words, her expression was nervous, and her eyes were wandering.

"Where's our mom?!" Zuo Dengfeng pulled the second sister who turned around and wanted to leave, and raised her voice.

"Our mom is gone." The second sister opened her mouth with tears in her eyes.

The second sister's words were like a slap on the left peak, and the huge stimulation made his eyes suddenly blacken, and he immediately stood unsteadily, and Wu Xinyu next to him hurriedly helped him when he saw this.

"When?" Zuo Dengfeng asked weakly. The last time I came back, my mother cooked for herself, and at that time she only had a slight cough, how could she just leave.

"Climb to the peak, go to the kang and lie down for a while." The second brother-in-law also came over to support Zuo Dengfeng.

"When did my mom leave?" Zuo Dengfeng turned his head and glared at his second sister and brother-in-law.

"A few days after you left last time, my mother fell ill suddenly." The second sister immediately cried bitterly when she heard this.

"Why didn't you notify me?" Zuo Dengfeng roared angrily and shook off the hand of his second brother-in-law who was holding him. The last time he came back was more than three months ago, which means that his mother died not long after he was assigned to Qingshuiguan, and it has been three months, and the eldest sister and the second sister have not even informed him.

"Xiaofeng, second sister is sorry for you." The second sister knelt down crying bitterly when she heard this, and the three children immediately cried and cried and pulled their mother.

At this moment, Dabao took Zuo Dengfeng's eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law into the door, and the eldest sister also knelt down when she saw this scene, and the eldest brother-in-law stood aside with a black face.

Kneeling down on the ground, the child's crying and screaming became one, Zuo Dengfeng did not move, and at this moment he finally understood why the eldest brother-in-law and the second brother-in-law would personally go to the county seat to take the three oceans from the fat sea.

"Even if Mom leaves, I will give you the money I should give you, how can you hide it from me for such a big matter?" Zuo Dengfeng forcibly endured the sadness in his heart and opened his mouth. He had already guessed that the two families were hiding the news of his mother's death for the few dollars a month.

As soon as Zuo Dengfeng said this, his eldest sister and second sister cried louder and louder, and at the same time looked at their man with resentment. In the countryside, women have no status, after the death of their mother, the reason why everyone does not go to Qingshui to report the funeral is only part of the long distance, and the more important reason is probably that the two brothers-in-law do not want him to know, they are worried that after Zuo Dengfeng's mother dies, Zuo Dengfeng will no longer send money to the family.

"I'm going to come back sooner or later, can you hide it for a while, for a lifetime?" Zuo Dengfeng tried his best to support himself so that he would not faint, the news of his mother's death was already unacceptable to him, and the behavior of the two families was even more incomprehensible to him, the mother died without notifying her son, this is simply not something that people can do.

"Brother, listen to me, things are not what you think......" The second brother-in-law tried to explain when he saw this.

"I'm not your brother." Zuo Dengfeng interrupted the second brother-in-law's words with a roar. This man who used to call his brother-in-law by Zuo Dengfeng was extremely ugly in his eyes at the moment.

"I'll just say that my little brother is not that kind of person, it's all you, shameless, shameless......" The second sister stood up and cried and scratched her man.

"Eldest sister, second sister, what do you want me to say about you as a younger brother?" Zuo Dengfeng has been crying.

The second sister cried more and more when she heard this, the eldest sister was more introverted, and in shame she actually crashed into the stove outside, but fortunately, the eldest brother-in-law reacted and reached out to drag her. Zuo Dengfeng found that the eldest sister's belly was bulging again, and this was her fifth pregnancy.

"I'm going to see Mom." Zuo Dengfeng walked out from the side of everyone with a hard hold. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed.

"I'll do it myself." Zuo Dengfeng did not look back, he knew where his father's tomb was, and his mother would naturally be buried there after she died.

Walking out of the gate, the driver of the car was looking into the courtyard with a puzzled expression.

"You wait for me at the head of the village." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand to wipe away his tears and waved at the coachman, he originally hired a car to come back to pick up his mother, but now it has become this situation, thinking of this, Zuo Dengfeng cried and fainted again, at this time Wu Xinyu had already followed him and hugged him again.

Zuo Dengfeng took Wu Xinyu, Wu Xinyu hugged Zuo Dengfeng, and the two slowly left the second sister's house.

After walking a short distance, the eldest sister and the second sister followed from behind, holding a few knives of burning paper in their hands, it was almost the New Year, and every household had this thing. Thinking of the New Year from burning paper, thinking of the dumplings made by his mother from the New Year, and thinking that his mother was already lying in the cold ground at this time, Zuo Dengfeng sobbed even more.

Walking out of the village, Zuo Dengfeng slowed down and waited for the two sisters behind him to follow.

"How did our mom die?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at his eldest sister.

"I was fine when I ate dinner, but I didn't get up when I fell asleep, and I was sick and didn't suffer." The eldest sister lifted the sleeve of the padded jacket to wipe her tears.

"What was it buried?" Zuo Dengfeng wept and nodded and asked again.

"When our mother left, she left two oceans, the coffin she bought now, and it was good wood." The second sister replied.

"Little brother, don't be angry with your sister, I want to tell you, but your brother-in-law won't let me, I did it for this matter, that time the fat man came to send money I wanted him to give you a letter, your brother-in-law was watching from the side, and I didn't dare to say it. Your second sister also wants to go to you, but when I inquire, your place is more than 100 miles away from us, and our woman's family can't go that far. The eldest sister couldn't cry.

"Big sister, don't cry, I don't blame you." Zuo Dengfeng wiped his tears and sighed when he heard this, the eldest sister was telling the truth, rural people are uneducated, and they don't respect women, and the matter of beating their wives happens from time to time, and they are one hundred and fifty miles away from home, and their sister can't go that far, so they can't blame their sister for this matter, and they can only blame their two unscrupulous brothers-in-law.

"In the past few years, a few people in our village have not starved to death, but our family has not, and the babies born to me and your eldest sister have survived, thanks to you. Those two dead men with no conscience still don't take your kindness. The second sister cried and hugged the pregnant eldest sister.

"Second sister, don't talk about this." Zuo Dengfeng was overly sad, and the white light reflected by the sun on the snow made him very dizzy.

"If your wages over the years hadn't helped us, you would have bought a house in the county town to get a daughter-in-law, why would you be so old and still single." The second sister cried more and more sadly.

"This is my daughter-in-law." Zuo Dengfeng weakly introduced Wu Xinyu to the two sisters.

Hearing this, Wu Xinyu hurriedly said hello to the two eldest sisters.

"What a good daughter-in-law, it's a pity that our mother can't see it." The two sisters began to cry again.

Zuo Dengfeng couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and his sobs turned into chokes, and when he saw his mother's grave a moment later, his choked up turned into a howl.

The father died early, and the mother alone pulled up the two sisters and herself, how many sins she suffered only her old man herself knows, the greatest kindness in the world is the grace of nurturing, the mother is such a son herself, and she has not been able to stay by her side when she is dying......

Endless regret and extreme grief made Zuo Dengfeng faint from crying several times, and finally stopped crying, Zuo Dengfeng and Wu Xinyu kowtowed to their mother three times, which was not only a worship, but also a worship.

"I said that I am about to call, the cultural institute has been disbanded, and I will not be able to help you again in the future, you can take these two oceans, don't tell them, you keep them to save your life." On the way back to the village, Zuo Dengfeng took out four pieces of ocean from his arms and gave them to his two sisters, although with his help, the two sisters still had a very difficult time, because there were too many people, and they had to open their mouths to eat.

Although the two sisters were ashamed, they still took the two oceans.

Zuo Dengfeng didn't say anything more, girls are outgoing, and the sister who marries out is someone else's woman, and their own man comes first in their hearts, although they often beat her.

After returning to the village, Zuo Dengfeng did not stay, and Wu Xinyu walked to the head of the village and took a mule cart to return, when he came, he was happy to go home, and when he left, he was full of sadness, and the huge gap made Zuo Dengfeng want to cry without tears.

The road was bumpy, and the two came to the outside of the mountain at eight o'clock in the evening, and returned to Qingshuiguan in the middle of the night.

Wu Xinyu helped Zuo Dengfeng onto the kang, and then began to light a fire to burn the kang, the temperature of the room quickly rose, and at the same time, Wu Xinyu also brought him hot water.

"My mother died, the cultural institute was dissolved, and I don't have anything now." Zuo Dengfeng got up and took the hot water and put it aside, and hugged Wu Xinyu with his hand.

"You still have me, I will always be with you......"
