I had just closed my eyes and was about to fall asleep when I was startled by the old lady's loud voice.

I held my heart and gasped. Oh my god, why were you shouting so loudly? It scared me to death.

I don’t know if I didn’t sleep well last night. I need to make up for my sleep. I can’t wait until my second child comes back to do anything.

"Boss~"

The old lady thought her son didn't hear her, so she continued shouting, this time louder than the last time.

The eldest brother felt that the roof was about to be blown off by his mother’s roar.

If I don't get up quickly, the nightmare will come true.

"Coming, coming~"

He quickly stated that he had heard it and was about to go over there.

Don’t shout anymore, or your heart will probably jump out of your chest.

He got off the kang quickly and walked towards the old lady's room in his slippers.

I was so anxious that I didn't pay attention to my feet and almost tripped over the threshold and fell flat on my face.

He staggered forward a few times and barely stopped.

The old lady hadn't seen such interesting things for a long time and couldn't help laughing out loud. However, when she thought about asking her son to do something later, she had to suppress her laughter.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Your legs and feet are not as good as those of an old woman like me lying on the kang."

Hearing my mother's joking tone, I felt furious. Not only did she disturb my rest, but I also saw that he almost fell. Although she couldn't get up and couldn't help him, she could at least comfort him. But she was just standing there watching me make a fool of myself. Is she really my mother?

I don't know what's the matter with her, but based on what she just said, don't even think about doing anything for her.

He stood at the door, blocking out most of the light, and tried to keep his tone calm, otherwise his mother would hear him. That poisonous tongue could kill without shedding blood, and every word of its sword could pierce into his heart.

"Mom, stop teasing me. What's the matter?"

The old lady remembered that there was an old man from another family in the village who had broken his leg. His son was afraid that he would be bored, so he asked a carpenter in the town to make a chair with wheels that could move.

If I could borrow that chair, I could go out and get some fresh air.

"Do you remember that there used to be a family named Sun living in the west of the village?"

The eldest brother nodded. He still had some impression of that man, although they didn't contact him much, but his mother asked him why.

His wife has been dead for many years. Could she have any feelings for that old man? I won't agree with it. It would be so embarrassing if it were made public.

"I remember. What happened?"

Her remaining patience was almost worn out. She lay on the kang, thinking about nothing all day long. She was even thinking about the old man. His family was even poorer than her own. No matter what she said, she would not agree to this.

"Can you be a little more patient? Besides, your impatient tone should be directed at me. I am your mother."

I've been talking for so long but still can't get to the point. It's not really what I thought it was. I feel a little embarrassed.

"If you don't tell me, I'll leave. The second brother will be back soon, and there's still a lot of work waiting for me in the fields."

The old lady glanced at her eldest son. She thought that she had raised this son in vain as he couldn't even wait for a few words. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.

"I have such a hard life. I raised you from childhood to this age and even married you off, yet you treat me like this."

The eldest brother felt so confused that his head was about to explode. He hadn't done anything against the law, so why did his mother start crying? It might also be that she had been lying there for too long and was feeling suffocated. In any case, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

You are no match for your mother in an argument, so you might as well ask her what she really wants.

He took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down. "Ask the old man what he wants to do. Tell me now."

The old lady originally thought that it was nothing, how long would it take him to talk, what's wrong with venting her emotions with him, but she didn't expect that the old man would not listen.

Looking at his expression, he was about to get furious. After all, he still needed help from others, so he couldn't just get angry. The boss was a soft-hearted person, and if he lost his temper, he would probably not get the chair.

The old lady said embarrassedly, "I thought that man had broken his leg before, and his son made him a chair with wheels so he can walk around. Go ask them if the chair is still available."

"If they are available, ask them to lend it to me. I could use it right now."

The eldest brother breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was not interested in the old man. He could help to ask about the chair, but not now, because his mother had just disturbed his rest and he was in a bad mood now, so he just had to wait.

The old lady is really something. It was just a matter of a few words, but she had to make such a fuss. It seems she really can't stay any longer.

She thought about this and that every day and actually came up with a way for her to go out.

"Okay, I'll go ask when I'm free. I need to get some sleep now."

He stretched himself, yawned, and went to his room.

The old lady rolled her eyes at the eldest brother's back.

He turned around suddenly and said, "Right."

The old lady was rolling her eyes vigorously.

Seeing the boss suddenly turned around, he quickly covered his eyes with his hands, "My eyes are a little uncomfortable, the wind blew sand into them."

The eldest brother was half-believing and half-doubting, so he stood at the door, almost blocking it completely. The wind from nowhere blinded his mother's eyes.

"Do you want me to blow you?"

Seeing that he seemed to believe what she said, the old lady waved her hand and said, "No need, I'm much better now."

Don't dwell on this issue anymore, change the subject quickly.

"What did you want to say just now?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, yes, that’s what he wanted to say just now, he slapped his head and his eyes lit up.

"Oh, I mean, don't yell when I'm resting. I didn't sleep well last night, so make up for it."

The old lady was thinking, why did she wake up her eldest son from the kang just now? Could it be that he was holding a grudge against her? Would she delay the matter of the chair? She knew her son's character very well.

He threw his hand away and said, "Okay, I won't bother you. Go to sleep."

The old lady was a little worried and wanted to give some more instructions.

"About the chair..."

The eldest son was walking out and heard his mother talking, but he couldn't hear clearly what she said. However, he knew what she would say, which was just to urge him to help her with something.

I simply pretended not to hear it, turned my head and looked at him in confusion, "Huh?"

The old lady thought that it would be bad to say too much. Since he had already agreed, she would just wait and see. If he really procrastinated, it would not be too late to argue with him then. Besides, there was still the second child.

"Nothing, go to bed."

The eldest brother finally lay on the kang. He didn’t expect that the trick he used just now was so effective. His mother let him go directly without making any noise.

Just as he closed his eyes comfortably, he heard the second brother's voice outside the courtyard gate, "Brother, let's go."
