Farmer's Struggle

Chapter 406 Retreat

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Peng Yan set off to visit Peng's mother.

Peng Yan also lived in that place for many years, but he has no affection for it.

However, he still has a few friends there. Although they don't communicate often, they will definitely help if there is something to do.

He got in touch with two friends first, and had dinner, drinks and chat together at night.

Friends took the initiative to talk about things on Peng's mother's side, which made Peng Yan feel very uncomfortable.

The man Peng's mother married later had three children, all of whom were older than Peng Yan. Later, Peng's mother had another child with that man, a boy.

The couple's life has been tight all these years, and it's really hard to be a stepmother.When the child grows up, he needs to get married, and it costs money to get married, so the husband and wife have to figure it out.

Finally, the three children started their own families. Before the couple had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the husband became paralyzed again, eating, drinking, and lying on the bed. He couldn't do without someone to take care of him.

Peng's mother didn't have a serious job in the first place, and the family was supported by her husband. Now that the pillars have collapsed, one can imagine how sad life is for her and her son.

Worse still to come, the husband's three children not only did not help to take care of the patients and did not give money for medical treatment, but also came to hold meetings with their father every now and then, asking their father to make a will and leave the house to them.

They lived in a decades-old house. They heard that it was going to be demolished. It was a good thing whether it was money or a house. The three children didn't want a good thing to be cheap and a child born to the stepmother.

They force their fathers to choose between their children and their wives.

Although the man is paralyzed, he still wants to live. He also knows that if he gets sick or suffers a disaster, his children will have to spend money to go to the hospital. His wife and young children can’t count on them at all, so he naturally shifts the balance to his adult children. this side.

The status of their family and He Lele, mother Peng and her later-born son is very embarrassing here.

Peng's mother is not stupid. She knows that she alone can't beat three stepchildren with one child. Even for the youngest son, she has to find a way out for herself.

Her way of retreat is Peng Yan.

Knowing this, Peng Yan's mood is quite calm, and he probably has made mental preparations before coming here.

He is not stupid, even if he still has a little affection for his mother, he knows that she should not have any feelings for him after so many years, and contacting him suddenly must be for ulterior motives.

After all, I still don't give up.

Even after hearing what his friends told him, he didn't give up. He went to find his mother and his stepfather the next day.

The dilapidated house was filled with an unpleasant smell, the stepfather was skinny and skinny, and the half-brother, who was less than ten years old, hid on the balcony and refused to come out when he saw him.

Peng's mother has also changed a lot, she looks much older, with a little more white hair, and there are signs of age on her face, and even the way she looks at him is much more kind than before.

She politely asked him to sit down, pouring water and serving fruit, as if entertaining an outsider.

Isn't Peng Yan just an outsider?

Peng's mother inquired about Peng Yan's situation in recent years, and heard that he was very happy to have a girlfriend and opened a shoe store. She also said that she would meet Ju Min some other day and go to his store to have a look.

This was quite subtle, Peng Yan pretended not to understand, and Peng's mother said again: "I haven't gone back for many years, and I still miss it there. When I'm old, I think about returning to the roots of fallen leaves. Your brother hasn't gone back either. I just want to"

"You don't have a house over there, do you? Do you have the money to rent a house?" The disheartened Peng Yan didn't have the heart to listen any longer, and interrupted: "I don't have any skills, and I listen to everyone at home, big and small. Yes, the money belongs to her, and I can't say anything."

Peng Yan's expression was also quite subtle, he just wanted to tell Peng's mother not to have any ideas about her son, her son is now a strict wife, and telling him these things is a waste of time.

The room fell silent, and after a while, Peng Yan took out his wallet and took out 2000 yuan to pat it on the table, and said to Peng's mother, "This is my pocket money for half a year, let's buy toys and snacks for my brother. "

In a word, even Peng's mother blocked her if she was going to ask for money.

They even took out half a year's pocket money, so what to do, they can't let the eldest son have no money in his pocket.

Coming out of his mother's house, Peng Yan felt much relieved.

The last sliver of expectation for my mother was shattered, and then I would not be restrained in speaking and doing things from now on, which is very good.

Peng Yan is a person who values ​​affection, but this affection must be paid to the right person.Uncle Peng treats him well, he is willing to help Uncle Peng repay hundreds of thousands of debts, mother Peng treats him badly, and he really can't do it when he receives a show of motherly kindness and filial piety, at most, he just pays back his debt .

Going back to the town, I told Ju Min about her trip to see her mother. Ju Min frowned, sighed and said, "I don't think the matter will end like this. You should make an agreement with third uncle first. I want to tell you first, don’t make promises to others blindly.”

"No way?" Peng Yan felt that Ju Min might be thinking too much.

However, it turns out that what Ju Min thought was right, Mother Peng really came back with her youngest son.

The mother and son went directly to Uncle Peng, crying and talking about how miserable they had been in these years. Uncle Peng was already soft-hearted, and he began to sympathize with the mother and son after listening to him. It was thanks to Peng Yan that he had greeted him, or else If Uncle Peng is not allowed, he will let the mother and son stay.

Third Uncle Peng comforted the two people, and quickly called Peng Yan to explain the situation. Peng Yan hurried over and asked Peng's mother, "What do you plan to do in the future?"

Peng's mother was still crying and crying, and said pitifully: "I don't ask you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food with you, but I just want to have a place to take your brother to live a good life. I was sorry for you before, but I will definitely Make up, Yanyan, please forgive mom, okay?"

Rock rock
Peng Yan couldn't remember how many years he hadn't heard his mother call him that.

I didn't feel warm, only cold.

It was too late after all.

"The legs are on your body, I don't care where you go, but don't expect to live with me." Peng Yan also said straight to the point: "If you want to stay in the town, that's fine, go rent a house by yourself , I can give you 400 yuan a month for living expenses, there is no extra penny. If you think it is not enough, you can find a way to do something yourself. You are only in your 40s and you are in good health. You are not in your [-]s and [-]s. If you can’t do it, don’t expect me to support you for nothing like a fool.”

After a pause, Peng Yan added: "Before I gave you 2000 yuan for five months, come back and ask me for money after five months."

After sending Peng's mother away, Uncle Peng smoked a cigarette and sighed, "Isn't it too much for us to do this? After all, she is also your own mother, and the child is also your own brother. It's too shameful to just ignore her." .”

Peng Yan said with a gloomy face: "Why don't you ask? If I really don't ask, I won't give her 400 yuan a month. Uncle, do you think 400 yuan is too little? Rent a car in our town. How much is a similar house? If she finds some work herself, it will not be difficult at all to support a son and send the child to school."
