Chapter 799: Chapter 799: Let the Boss’s Wife See the True Face of Her Family
Team Leader Zhao said, "We can plant them. You’ve forgotten, our eldest’s family, we need to plant quite a few medicinal herbs."
These herb seeds could be harvested the next year, or we could grow them for a few more years before harvesting them. "Laoer has bought a house in the county town, it’s not big, but now Laoer also has time to watch over the kids’ studies."
Mrs. Zhao didn’t say anything, she went to Laoer’s house and found her two grandsons getting beaten.
Although Da Shu was her eldest grandson, Mrs. Zhao didn’t have a particular fondness for him, she treated all her grandchildren fairly.
Now, she was slightly more partial to Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
"Settling down in the county town is also a good thing." Team Leader Zhao didn’t stand in the way of his sons making homes elsewhere.
If they were capable, let them leave this impoverished and remote place, what was there to fuss about?
"Laoer even opened a store for his wife, selling some agricultural products."
Team Leader Zhao brought up another matter to Mrs. Zhao, "Xiao Yang’s Uncle is sick too. His wife came to ask me for Xiao Yang’s address in the Capital City, saying she wanted to write a letter to show some concern for the Little Aunt."
Team Leader Zhao didn’t tell the truth, he just said he didn’t know.
They’d been indifferent for over a year now.
Now, they came to him inquiring about Xiao Yang’s situation.
Xiao Yang and Xiao Yun had been helping Laosan and Laosan’s wife with their troubles.
The Little Aunt was helping out by cooking meals for so many people.
They were living quite well over in the Capital City.
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, "Now that they’re sick, they think of their old mother; what kind of sweet dreams are they having?"
"Back then, they didn’t even want to give the Little Aunt her retirement grain. When the two brothers were there, they didn’t lift a finger to look after their niece and nephew."
"Er Dan’s sister-in-law also came up to ask for Er Dan’s address."
Mrs. Zhao was shocked again, "Er Dan, a mere youngster, has been so worn down by his brother and sister-in-law. Now that he’s finally been nursed back to health, they want to cozy up and take advantage of him?"
"Isn’t that the case? Who knows who they heard it from, but they think we’re making money in the Capital City."
Mrs. Zhao scoffed, "I just need to take a walk outside to find out who’s been spreading these rumors behind our backs. Where is the key to our eldest’s house?"
After Team Leader Zhao gave Mrs. Zhao the keys, he continued to keep his head down and stay busy with work.
It wasn’t long before Sister-in-law Zhao and Brother Zhao came back.
But they didn’t return empty-handed; they brought back quite a few medicines.
"Mom, it’s a good thing Laoer kept the money for me, otherwise I would have certainly been targeted."
Mrs. Zhao looked at her and asked, "What happened?"
What exactly had occurred?
"Money was stolen from a woman in the ward next to ours; she cried her heart out. I gave the money to Xiao Mao’s mother because she spends most of her time lying in the hospital bed, so it wasn’t taken."
Mrs. Zhao was alarmed, she hadn’t expected to find thieves even in the hospital.
"Wealth should not be flaunted."
Mrs. Zhao mentioned another matter, "The family of our eldest’s wife, they didn’t even come to see."
This needed to be told to the eldest and his wife.
So the wife could see the true colors of her own family.
"Before I came back, it was your dad and your Little Aunt who helped out."
Brother Zhao fell silent for a while before speaking up, "I know, thank you mom and dad and Little Aunt."
"Now that you’re back, there’s a lot of work to get started with in the fields."
Brother Zhao also knew there was plenty of farm work waiting for him at home.
Owing so much money, it wasn’t something that could be paid off all at once.
Sister-in-law Zhao, upon hearing that her family knew she was hospitalized yet not a single person cared to ask after her or even come to visit the house to help look after the children, was particularly disappointed.
Thinking back to the time when Laosan’s wife had shared some things with her, she had even taken a portion back to her family so they could also have a taste.
