Chapter 131 -131 The Family of Four Weeps Together

Jiang Nan sneered. It turned out she was nothing but a servant girl, just a machine her birth mother used to demand money for her brother to live well.

“Xiao Nan, you can’t just ignore your brother and nephews. Otherwise, the Old Jiang Family won’t let you off, even from beneath the ground.”

Jiang Nan’s heart ached and turned cold. “I meant what I said. I won’t give that family of ingrates another dime in the future.

As for you, you’re my biological mother, after all. If you behave yourself, I’ll give you some retirement money. But if you make trouble all the time, you won’t get a cent from me.

Anyway, you don’t know where I am.”

“Hey, hey, hey, you can’t do this!”

“Beep, beep, beep—”

Jiang’s mother coaxed for a long time, thinking to herself that it was over, her daughter was serious.

Suddenly feeling the world spin, her eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted right there in the small store.

Jiang Nan was completely unaware that her old mother had almost fainted on the spot. She returned to her rented room in a daze.

Looking at the small room, memories of nearly a decade in the machinery factory’s family quarters began to flood her mind, along with various moments from her childhood.

As a child, she didn’t receive her parents’ attention, and when her brother got hurt, she was also beaten.

Until later, when she met Ze—a young man with good character and background, well-liked by her parents.

Now she realized that ever since she married Ze, a man from a good job and family, her parents changed their attitude. They often fawned over her and curried favor.

All because her man had money, from five yuan a month to twenty later on.

Jiang Nan regretted her past choices, realizing that because of her, Ze had been bled dry by her blood-sucking family.

No wonder the two kids never liked visiting their grandma’s house. Kids are the best at reading the room, knowing who treats them well and who doesn’t.

…

As soon as Brother Lu returned, he saw his wife with a smiling face.

“Wife, did you buy some meat?”

“Mm, you do physical work; you need to nourish your body.”

“Ah Shen, in the future, let’s just close the door and live our own good life. We don’t have to worry about what my family is up to. We should focus on our home with you and our two children.”

“I’ll listen to my wife.”

…

In the blink of an eye, another year was about to pass, and a new one was about to begin.

Brother Lu and his wife had told their two daughters they were planning to come back for the New Year during a phone call, and the girls had been eagerly counting the days.

“Oh my, I’m exhausted.”

Susu and Lu Xiaoting walked into the house carrying bags big and small.

Lu Xiaomei, who was hugging her little niece, was stunned. “Second sister-in-law, why did you buy so much?”

“Huh~”

Susu quickly took off her shoes to warm her feet. They were ice cold from walking the entire way.

“Well, the New Year’s just around the corner. I haven’t even started on the dry goods and sweets yet; it’s all stuff for eating and wearing.”

“Each person gets a snowflake cream and clam oil. The clothes at the Department Store looked nice, so I got each of you a new outfit, and Little Aunt and mom made some too. Two new outfits for the New Year for each person.”

“You’re being reckless with money again. One piece of clothing costs dozens of yuan. You should’ve just bought for yourself. I—”

“Aw, mom, it’s all a gesture of my goodwill. I’ll be upset if you keep talking like that,” Susu cooed to her mother-in-law.

“Alright, alright, mom will stop talking.”

“Come on, everyone, try them on and see if they fit.”

With Susu’s words, the women and children of the family excitedly began trying on their new clothes.

Lu Xiaoting… always had the peculiar feeling of falling into a nest of women and children.

“Daddy.”

“Daddy.”

“Daddy.”

The triplets immediately rushed to their father, clamoring to play horse-riding.

Their father, Lu Xiaoting, lay down obediently, allowing his sons and daughter to climb aboard and ride the ‘big horse.’

“Mommy, come and watch big brother ride the ‘big horse.'”

Susu and her eldest son exchanged a glance, politely declining. If she and her son were to hop on again, her husband would be squashed flat.

“Elder sister, second sister, come on.”

Xiao Yu grabbed her excitedly wriggling younger sister, smilingly watched her siblings cheerfully shriek.

Ah, my goodness, such powerful lungs.

Susu couldn’t withstand her daughter and son’s caterwauling, shifted her bottom, wrapped her arms around the fragrant and soft Xiao Xue, pinching the chubby little cheeks puffing out.

Xiao Xue smiled and allowed her second aunt to pinch her little face.

In the blink of an eye, it was the New Year, and the stores still closed on the 29th, waiting to officially open on the sixth day of the new year.

After settling the stores, Susu and Father Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Lu Xiaogu, four adults with six kids, went back to the county ahead of time.

The house had been warmed up nice and cozy by Aunt and Uncle.

The six kids were bundled up tight, with only a pair of eyes showing.

“It’s too cold, hurry up in, I have hot water burning on the stove.”

The adults sipped on brown sugar water while Aunt marveled at the triplets.

Pingping was aloof and uninterested, An’an was easy to befriend, joking to and fro with their uncle and grandma.

Lele, the little girl, hid in grandma’s embrace, occasionally peering out with her round wide eyes.

Aunt and Uncle still had to rush off to work that afternoon, leaving in a hurry after lunch.

A full house meant no rest, cleaning the house, washing dirty clothes, and even preparing hundreds of dumplings in advance.

Lu Xiaogu helped out all the way until the 28th when her husband came to pick her up, planning to return on the sixth.

Brother Lu, Eldest Sister-in-law Lu, and Lu Xiaoting arrived home one after the other.

“Did Huai Ze and his wife come back?”

“Yes, Auntie.”

“I heard you two went down south to work? Is it truly warm there all year round?”

“Right, Auntie, we don’t even need to wear cotton pants in the winter down south.”

…

The closer she got to the house, the more unsettled Jiang Nan felt.

Brother Lu, sensing his wife’s nervousness, reassured her, “Don’t worry, the kids must be missing us terribly.”

“Both kids have grown so much, it’s the first time we’ve been apart this long.” Thinking of her soft and delicate daughters, Jiang Nan gathered courage to face her mother-in-law.

“Woof, woof, woof.”

“Who is it?” Mrs. Lu, hearing Da Hei’s barking, hurriedly looked outside to see her eldest son and his wife, quickly getting off the kang to greet them.

“Has the eldest come back home?”

“Mom.”

“Mom,” Jiang Nan called out in a low voice.

Mrs. Lu wiped the corner of her eyes, patting her son she hadn’t seen in half a year.

“It’s good you’re back.”

“Come into the house, the kids have been dying to see you.”

Mrs. Lu led the way with a smile, “Look who’s back?”

“Daddy, Mommy!” Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue shouted in unison.

“Ah, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xue.”

“Daddy, Mommy.” The sisters immediately threw themselves into their parents’ arms, and tears streamed down their faces.

Jiang Nan hugged her children whom she missed for half a year, crying nonstop.

Brother Lu hugged his wife and children, his eyes gradually becoming moist and red.

As soon as Lu Xiaoting and their third child returned, they walked in on Brother Lu’s family of four crying their hearts out.

Jiang Nan sniffled, embracing her two kids, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Mother, I’m really sorry, sister-in-law, I couldn’t control myself.”

“Not at all.”

Susu shook her head, actually feeling like the elder sister-in-law seemed quite changed.
