Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11887

"Mother, sister-in-law, we're back!"

Sanxi pushed open the tightly closed courtyard gate and shouted into the lifeless, desolate courtyard.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the tightly closed door of the main room creaked open, and the eldest sister-in-law helped Sixi's mother out.

Sixi's mother was supporting her lower back with one hand, her hair was messy, and she looked like she had aged ten years. She walked unsteadily and couldn't straighten her back.

However, upon seeing Sixi standing behind Sanxi, the man who had been unable to straighten his back suddenly straightened up, and the hand that had been supporting his lower back was now pointing at Sixi as he cursed, "You unfilial son, you still know how to come back? You heartless, ungrateful, and treacherous little bastard, do you know how badly you've ruined your father and your two brothers?"

"Mother, stop scolding, calm down. It's a good thing that Fourth Brother is back!" The eldest daughter-in-law, standing next to Sixi's mother, panicked first and quickly tried to comfort her.

Her father, who was also Sixi's maternal uncle, went to the county jail with her and witnessed firsthand the miserable state of Daxi and the others.

The wife is now most looking forward to the arrival of Daxi. The children are crying and making a fuss because they can't see their father every day, and the house is in complete chaos.

When Sixi saw his mother pointing at him and scolding him without any remorse, the slight shame he had felt for causing his father and two older brothers to go to jail because of him vanished completely after his mother's sharp and sarcastic words.

Doesn't my mother worry at all about whether I live or die out there?

If it weren't for the Yang family using their power to control them and forcing them to find him, he probably would have died out there without his family caring.

Si Xi felt a chill run through her heart. For a moment, she wanted to turn around and leave, really, never to come back here again!
However, when he thought of Xiu Hong, and the promise he made to Uncle Yang and Aunt Cao that he would make sure his parents helped him marry Xiu Hong properly and give her a legitimate status, Sixi gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to turn around.

Sanxi also realized what was happening and quickly shouted at his mother, "Mom, what's wrong with you? What did you say to my uncles and the others before? And what about my dad and brothers? Don't you want them to be happy?"

When Sixi's mother saw Sixi, she felt as if she had seen the root of all evil, and she wished she could pounce on him and bite him to death.

So when they first met, she couldn't help herself and triggered her muscle memory. Her muscle memory was to poke the other person's nose with her finger, causing the muscles in their mouth and throat to vibrate and transform into sharp words to attack them...

Regardless of whether the other party can handle it or not, and regardless of the consequences.

After being yelled at by Sanxi and reminded by her eldest daughter-in-law, Sixi's mother calmed down.

Erxi's wife, heavily pregnant, awkwardly peeked out from the west wing. Upon seeing Sixi, she wiped away tears, saying, "Fourth brother, you're finally back! You're our family's savior now! Father, and your two older brothers are on the verge of death in prison, just waiting for you to have mercy and rescue them!"

As Erxi's wife spoke, she glanced at her mother-in-law's reaction out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that her mother-in-law was cold and silent, Erxi's wife quickly instructed Sanxi: "What are you standing there for? Quickly, let Fourth Brother into the house. It's windy outside."

Sanxi then pulled Sixi aside: "Let's go back inside and talk. If we stay outside, someone will come and eavesdrop again."

Si Xi nodded with a dark face and followed San Xi into the main room.

Inside the main room, the children were still asleep. It was early morning, and in the cold winter, the sun rose late. If the children got up early, they would just be out in the yard, shivering and crying, which was quite annoying. It was better to tuck them into their warm beds and let them sleep a little longer.

Sixi's two uncles went home yesterday evening. It's not good for them to stay here for the past few days. Everyone has their own problems.

"Fourth brother, please sit down, I'll pour you some tea." The eldest daughter-in-law gestured for Sixi to sit down, then turned around to personally brew tea for him. For Sixi, it was a privilege he had never enjoyed before, having his sister-in-law personally brew tea for his younger brother.

He was just about to bow and say no, no, he could easily make his own tea when something else surprised him.

My sister-in-law picked up the kettle of hot water and shook it, only to find that there was no hot water in it at all!
These past few days have been chaotic at home, and life has been a blur.

"Oh dear, there's no hot water. I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water right away. Fourth brother, please wait a moment."

After saying that, the sister-in-law picked up the thermos and turned to leave.

Second Sister-in-law followed closely behind and walked out, saying, "Since we're boiling water, let's cook a bowl of hot noodles for Fourth Brother, and add two extra eggs. He's been away for the past few days, and he probably hasn't had a hot meal yet."

Seeing how attentive and considerate her sisters-in-law were to her, Sixi felt even more flattered.

In the past, my sister-in-law always followed my mother around and was a good daughter-in-law. But she always put on a very high-and-mighty act towards her younger brothers-in-law.

As for the second sister-in-law, she has two faces: a sycophant in front of her parents, and a sour grapes in front of them, speaking with a sharp and sarcastic tone.

Why are these two people suddenly treating him like this...?

In a daze, both sisters-in-law went to the kitchen to busy themselves, leaving only Sanxi, Sixi, and their mother in the main room.

Sanxi coughed, tapped his fingers on the table, and said to Sixi's mother, "Mother, I told Fourth Brother about all these things at home on the way back."

"My fourth brother is a reasonable person, and he cares about his father and his brothers."

"As long as you show sincerity to your fourth brother, he is willing to go to the Yang family to plead for our father and two older brothers as soon as possible!"

Sanxi's words were indeed Sixi's meaning, or even Sixi's original words.

However, when these words reached Sixi Niang's ears, they made her furious.

"You brat, are you back to bargain with me? Those are your father and your own brothers!" Sixi's mother said in a shrill voice.

Si Xi frowned. "If you continue like this, I'm leaving. I'll become an adopted son-in-law in the Yang family and won't bother with your affairs anymore!"

That cold, detached remark completely chilled Sixi's mother to the bone.

Si Xi's mother stood there, stunned, as if she didn't recognize her youngest son.

In the end, Sanxi stood up and tried to smooth things over again, "Mother, you should stop now. If Fourth Brother leaves again this time, even I can't persuade him to come back."

Two lines of tears slid down Si Xi's mother's face as she raised her hand to wipe them haphazardly.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you to put in a good word for me? Just tell me!" Sixi's mother turned her face to the side, completely giving in.
