Chapter 297 The Fool Who Pleases His Mother-in-Law 6
"Don't push your luck, where can I get you..."
Before Xia Shuhua could finish her words, she heard two beeps from her phone and then stopped. She was so angry that she smashed the phone in her hand with a fierce look in her eyes.
‘Paji’
A slap from her son brought her back to her senses, and she reluctantly began to sell her bags and jewelry. These were all bought for her by Zhao Feng for the sake of face. There was nothing she could do now. If he asked about it, she would say they were stolen.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Tao took her son to bed. The amount she gave would not be difficult for Xia Shuhua, and she was sure she could get it together.
The next morning, Xu Tao, along with his son, Xiang Hong and Zhong Xia, split into three groups.
The two of them mainly stocked up on rice, flour, grain, and oil, which were essential necessities for the household, while Xu Tao was responsible for buying snacks and electronic products that he liked.
Zhong Xia at the warehouse had contacted him early in the morning. As no one was delivering the goods yet, Xu Tao drove to the warehouse and released half of the rice and flour in the warehouse.
"Stars, take them in."
The little guy waved his hand and took everything in. Seeing that he didn't look uncomfortable at all, Xu Tao released some more food and weapons.
After finishing her business, Xu Tao took the little guy shopping and bought everything he liked.
"Mom, grandma."
Xu Tao looked in the direction of the finger and saw that it was indeed her mother.
When their eyes met, the woman opposite turned her head first, as if looking at a stranger, and continued to talk to the girl next to her with a kind face.
"Mother."
"Xingxing, let's go."
When Xu Tao approached and heard the salesperson's introduction, she learned that her younger brother, whom she had never met, was getting married, and her mother was taking her daughter-in-law to buy hardware.
It turns out that she also likes little girls. She smiled with relief and took her son through the gold shop to the second floor of the mall.
"Auntie, auntie, I think this lotus design is pretty good. How about this one? What do you think?"
"Oh, okay, Xiaorui, Auntie will listen to you. As long as you like it, it's fine."
The woman put aside her slight discomfort and continued talking to her future daughter-in-law.
"Mom, don't feel bad, Xingxing loves you."
"Pfft, you little rascal, Mommy is fine. Don't you like eating Haolailai cakes? Mommy allows you to pick the one you like today."
While the little one was choosing, Xu Tao received a call from the teacher. She then remembered that the little one's vacation was until yesterday. Thinking that he would not have to go to kindergarten in the future and that he had just started not long ago, she shamelessly asked if she could get some refund.
I learned that I could get a 60% refund. I agreed that 60% was more than 10,000 yuan, so we agreed to go and process the withdrawal in the afternoon.
We had discussed this with the little guy last night, so he didn't react. Despite the way the little brother and sister looked at them as a spendthrift, the mother and daughter ordered all the cake styles, thirty of each, to be delivered over seven days.
After finishing the cake, I went to a large supermarket and bought a lot of building blocks, toys, ice cream and other things.
Today is the happiest day for little Zhong Yanxing. His mother will satisfy him with whatever he wants to buy.
Half a month later, Xu Tao received a satisfactory transfer and the medical equipment prepared by the white coat. When she returned home, she saw Zhong Youwei and his daughter, who had rushed back exhausted. They had lost weight and darkened by three degrees.
"What's wrong? Why do you look like refugees fleeing famine?"
"Mom, don't mention it. Dad and I rented a big truck and went to collect seafood at three or four in the morning. When it was daybreak, we went to look for stones. When we saw some similar ones, Dad started bleeding to verify. If it weren't for the few fruits my sister-in-law brought me, you wouldn't have seen Dad."
Xiang Lan was so distressed that she didn't even have time to listen to what happened next. She ran to the kitchen and started stewing the chicken.
"How's it going, Qiuqiu? Did you find it?"
"Without my sister-in-law, we tried hundreds of stones, but nothing worked. Luckily, we were out of the public eye, otherwise people would have thought we were crazy.
Oh, sister-in-law, if you exchange all the money you gave us for seafood, I’ll give it to you now.”
Xu Tao quickly stopped him and said they would go to the warehouse to exchange things tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, she would take her husband and children back to visit her grandmother.
The progress of the house was left to my father-in-law. Two days ago, they bought a villa in the suburbs with full payment. According to Qiuqiu, a safe base will be built there in the future, and residents can keep the house if they pay in full.
You know, that is the center of the base. I originally wanted to add a few more sets, but they were too eye-catching later on.
"Mom, don't be afraid."
"As long as the stars are here, Mommy won't be afraid. Thank you, baby."
After getting off the car, Xu Tao stopped in front of the familiar yet unfamiliar mud land. She had lived in this place for more than ten years, but the previous small house had been replaced by a three-story building.
Thinking that there was still some money of his own in it, he said that he had not yet paid it back.
'Dangdangdang'
After knocking for a long time, there was no response. After calling, no one answered. After asking the villagers passing by, they learned that the grandmother and grandson had gone to town. After a long silence, the family of three returned to the car and waited.
"Taobao."
"Axia, I'm fine, don't worry. There are my favorite flat meat and fried rice noodles in town. I'll take you there to eat them when the time comes."
When the sun set, I saw my grandmother coming back and went to greet her.
"grandmother."
"Great-grandmother."
"Hey, look at me, Xiaotao called and said she'd be back. Come in with me and have a drink of water."
The old lady led the family of three into the house, hurriedly made some sugar water, and then went to buy some fruit for Xingxing to eat.
"Grandma, please sit down and don't bother. We've brought everything back."
"I'll go buy some food and stay at home tonight."
Xu Tao was a little helpless, so she pulled the busy old lady to sit down and chatted with her. After a while, her aunt came to deliver the food, and when she saw Xu Tao coming back, she sat down and chatted with her.
After learning about what my uncle and his family had done during their conversation, I knitted my brows together and said, "Grandma, please come with me to Beijing. I have my own house now and a yard where I can grow vegetables. I guarantee you won't be bored there."
"That's great, sister, you can enjoy the good life together. No one in this family can bully you."
The old lady stubbornly refused, saying that her eldest grandson was very good to her, her son had been very filial before, and it was her daughter-in-law who was picking on her.
Xu Tao was so angry that she laughed. The grandson knew that his grandmother was sick and unwell, but he still lay on his bed and had everything provided for him. Wasn't he taking his anger out on his grandmother when things didn't go his way? Was he just thinking about the little money in his grandmother's pocket?
Is it filial piety that the son helps his wife to scold his mother, is so distressed when his mother is sick, and refuses to take his daughters and granddaughters with him unless they bring money back? Is it filial piety that he knows that his old mother cannot do heavy work, but still throws all the housework to her and takes his wife to live a carefree life in town?
Seeing her grandmother's appearance, Xu Tao did not ask the questions in her heart. Seeing the old lady with a hunched back and a head full of silver hair, she couldn't bear it after all.
