Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Both the Palm and Back of the Hand are Flesh_1

Mother Yun immediately began to explain, “Hanhan, we understand, but…”

Meng Yunhan looked at them and forced a smile, “Mother, you are also a mother. If someone were to say something like this about your son, would you not be upset? I can never let my son bear the label of being a disaster bringer or a patricidal figure. It may not mean much now, but he’s going to grow up. How do you expect him to accept this fact? I need to go back to my room now.”

Meng Yunhan knew what Father Yun and Mother Yun were thinking. She also knew that all hearts are selfish, including hers. She couldn’t bear to let her son shoulder this responsibility.

Father Yun and Mother Yun exchanged glances.

“Old man, did we really make a mistake?” Mother Yun asked Father Yun.

Father Yun sighed, “Perhaps we did. Little Huzi is still so young. Burdening him with all this is somewhat unfair. I know the way our daughters-in-law discuss Little Huzi. You were just thinking of avoiding trouble, especially with the current state of our youngest son, who depends on the families of our eldest and second sons. But we forgot that no mother would ever let her son bear such burdens. Our third son was only injured on the battlefield. You should also know that Little Huzi was born first. Yunhan fell asleep from exhaustion before she dreamt of our third son covered in blood.”

Mother Yun knew this truth too well.

Yet she really desired the households of her eldest and second sons to aid their third brother.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“In the future, you should drop the idea of eldest and second families helping out the third. Yunhan is resolute. After this incident, they probably wouldn’t be willing to help either. The actions of the eldest and second daughters-in-law aren’t they to prevent their husbands from assisting third brother’s family? Earlier, didn’t I say not to spend the money third brother sent? Now that trouble has ensued, the bond between brothers has been tested, and to say they didn’t anticipate this would be false.”

Mother Yun regretted giving some of the money that third brother had sent, to the second son for house repairs and to the eldest son’s family for medical expenses.

Back then, she believed there was a strong bond between the brothers.

But now, it seems she was too optimistic. After marriage, everyone has their family to care about.

Their actions deeply saddened her.

They are blood of her blood, how could they act like this?

Mother Yun couldn’t stop her tears.

“Tonight, give all the money that the third brother sent to Yunhan. The money was earned with the third’s blood and sweat- return it to him. I’m afraid if you have the money, you’ll distribute it to the eldest and second again.”

Mother Yun stared at Father Yun in disbelief, “I…”

“All these years, we’ve treated the third child unfairly. Once he started receiving allowances, he began sending money home every month. But think about the eldest and second — did they give you any money before they got married? Woman, don’t be foolish anymore, don’t hurt Yunhan’s heart anymore. Today, when she suggested moving out, she meant it. I heard Yunhan mention that the old Zhao is now living alone, and he has a house in town. Plus, he’s always been good to Yunhan and Ahao. On Little Huzi’s full moon day, he gave ten yuan and some fabric. Both our sons only gave five yuan.”

Father Yun was a reasonable man.

Mother Yun was even more silent.

She had also asked Yunhan about Old Zhao, she knew that Old Zhao was living alone now. He used to have a son, but he never came back after going to the battlefield. His wife couldn’t bear the news of their son’s mishap, and she followed him in death soon after. Now, he was the only one left.

When their son came back, he would visit Old Zhao in the town.
