When I took a closer look, the cloth pocket looked so familiar. The eldest brother was really capable. Even though the sister was so annoyed with him, he still gave her the thing. Wow, this is really bizarre.

"Guess what this is?" The eldest brother was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He picked up the bag and shook it in front of his second brother.

"It can't be food."

The second brother's eyes moved between the bag and his eldest brother, and he still didn't quite believe his guess.

"It's food, a full fifteen pounds."

The eldest brother opened his pocket, grabbed a handful, spread out his palm, waited until others could see clearly, and then put it back. The food slid through his palm, feeling the cool and solid touch. There was no greater satisfaction than this.

The sound of the beads falling into the bag and colliding with each other is so pleasant to hear, it's like the sound of nature.

Not only is it heavy, but it is also very fresh. It tastes much better than those stale sesame seeds and rotten millet. I can eat it tonight. I haven't eaten such fresh food for a long time. I have to loosen my belt and eat a lot.

But thinking of my mother, I might be reluctant to take out so much food to let everyone have a full meal. I squeezed the bag and licked my lips. Even if I was not full, it was much better than before. This was the happiest moment in recent days.

When the second brother saw the big bag of grain, his eyes widened. Oh my God, it was not easy to borrow it, and there was so much. I don’t know how the eldest brother persuaded them. Besides, the younger sister’s family is headed by her mother-in-law, and she has no say. She is really too generous.

You have to learn from him. He was able to get food even though the relationship was so tense. Why can't I do it myself? "Brother, how did you do it? Tell me quickly. And did you give the master the money for the bus ride?"

"Thanks to your sister-in-law, I was able to get these, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten a single hair."

As the boss spoke, he straightened his back, looking like a completely different person.

He glanced at the second brother, who was still looking at him eagerly, and whispered all the plans into his ear.

The more I listened, the more surprised I was. I hadn't realized that my sister-in-law was such a person before. She was really a great help.

On the other hand, my wife just lies on the kang all day long. It has been so many days since the miscarriage, and she should have recovered long ago. But she groans every day, feeling uncomfortable here and there, and doesn't do any work. I will give her a good beating when I get home.

There are many people who have suffered miscarriages in the surrounding area. Why is she so precious? She is just the daughter of a farmer, not a precious person. She must be pretending. Thinking of this, she became furious and quickened her pace to go home.

The eldest brother entered the door first, holding a bag of food like a victorious general, "Come and see, there is food to eat."

In an instant, the yard was crowded with people. The children's mouths were all open, as there was no better news than this. They jumped and laughed, but soon stopped because they had no strength left. Their stomachs, which had been hungry for a long time, kept rumbling.

The old lady also came out. Due to long-term hunger, she looked not as strong as before. Her back was a little hunched, and she was too weak to even ask where the food came from.

It’s just that it’s not time to cook yet. If I eat now, I’ll be too hungry to sleep at night. Besides, although there’s a lot of food in the bag, it’s not enough for such a big family. I have to think carefully about how to arrange it.

The eldest brother rushed to the old lady in two steps, a little excited, holding her dry and skinny arms with both hands, and tears almost flowed down, "Mom, we have food to eat."

At first, she didn't think it was a big deal. The old lady had lived for so many years and had gone hungry many times. But when she saw her eldest son like this, her eyes reddened. She opened and closed her mouth and used a lot of effort to speak, "Okay, okay, put the food on the kang in my room."

The old lady would never give up her power. Whoever kept the food would be the one giving orders in the family. As long as she was there, the food must be managed by her.

The eldest son was originally moved, but his tears were instantly wiped away when he heard these words. This was something he had worked so hard to get back from his sister's house.

Why can't I just put it in my own room, risking being kicked off the coachman and being scolded by my sister?

Besides, if it weren’t for my wife, I wouldn’t be able to get these things, and I couldn’t even ride in a ox cart. It’s only right and reasonable that I should put them in my own room.

It's just taking out a little food before each meal. Everyone can do this job, including my wife. If I let my mother continue to do it, she will still be so stingy and still not have enough to eat every day. It's better to have a few good meals first and worry about the rest later.

The old lady was a little puzzled when she saw that the eldest son did not move and even hid the bag behind him. What happened? Didn’t he hear what she said just now?

I have not had much strength recently and my voice is low. I mustered up my strength and said in my loudest voice, "Put the food in my room."

The boss took several steps back and protected the bag with his hands.

The old lady felt something was wrong, but she couldn't rob it by force. She simply didn't have the strength. "Boss, what do you mean?"

"Mom, I brought this food back. Please put it in my room."

There was a subtle toughness in his pleading tone. Everyone looked at him when they heard this, admiring his courage for shouting at the old lady.

The second brother, in particular, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. According to his idea, the first thing he would do when he came back was to give it to mother. The eldest brother has really made progress recently and even dared to say such words. He was not afraid of his mother getting angry and making her uneasy.

That’s right, I’ve been hungry for so many days, where do I get the energy?

Although we have separated, we still live together. In the future, my mother will definitely find fault with my eldest sister-in-law. She will definitely think that it was my eldest sister-in-law who instigated this. Now it's going to be interesting.

The eldest sister-in-law met the old lady's cold eyes, trembled all over, and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly at her. The eldest brother really knew how to make trouble for himself. He should just bring back the food and give it to mother honestly. Why did he make such a fuss? Even if he didn't ask for it, others would think so.

I quickly walked to the boss and tugged at his sleeve, "Give it to me~"

"What? Speak louder." The eldest brother didn't hear what his wife said clearly. He was holding the bag happily, looking sideways at his wife, raised his eyebrows, and the words "I'm awesome" were written all over his face.

"I said, give the food to mother."

The eldest brother's wife's voice suddenly became louder, and the eldest brother took several steps back and almost stepped on Fugui's foot. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been stepped on so hard that his foot was so swollen that he couldn't get up.

"Why are you so loud? You're almost deafening me."

The eldest brother covered his ears, his eyes filled with anger. Although the idea was from his wife, he couldn't have gotten the food without her. Now he was considered a great contributor to the family, so where would he put his face if he was yelled at like that?

Looking around, what kind of wife would treat a man like this? It really gives her face. I originally wanted to come back and praise her, but now there is no need to do so.
