Chapter 230 It’s a new life from now on
Mrs. Wei took a firewood stick, beat the man out, and stood at the door panting: "You go..."
The old woman was crying as she spoke. What should I do?
This is the flesh that fell from her body. She is reluctant to part with it, but there is nothing she can do.
If she didn't have the heart to drive him away, she and the old man might be killed by him in the future.
They were almost killed before, so they made up their minds to cut off ties with this rebellious son. Even if they both died, this rebellious son would not be able to survive on his own for long and would definitely kill himself. It would be better for them to ignore him and let the two of them live the rest of their lives well.
Who wants to die when they can live?
What's wrong with being able to eat and drink and live a good life? Why do you have to die?
However, their ideas were relatively novel and open-minded in ancient times.
Mrs. Wei drove her son away. Seeing the people standing outside, she said a little embarrassedly, "Madam, I have already made it clear to that bastard. The house has been sold. After we leave, he will not come to trouble you."
Liu Caixia stepped forward and comforted her, "Aunt Wei, you are right to do this. You have already given too much for him, and nothing is more important than living a good life. You can help him temporarily, but not forever. We came here today because there are many houses here, so we can stay here for a while and squeeze in. It saves us from staying in an inn."
Aunt Wei quickly pulled Liu Caixia into the house and said, "Look at what you said. We didn't think it through. Come in quickly. The old man and I will stay in the shop in front for one night. There are three rooms in the back. You can share them. The beds at home are enough, but the quilts are old. I hope you don't mind."
"Aunt, how could we be dissatisfied? You are able to let us stay for one night, which really saves us a lot. After buying this house, there really isn't much left at home, so we should save as much as possible."
"Madam, you are a good housekeeper. People should be able to take and put down. Reputation is the least valuable. The benefits you get are the most real."
After that, he said to Old Man Wei in the yard: "Old man, let's go to the shop in front and make do. There are some tables, chairs and benches. Although most of them are broken, there are still some that are not broken. Put them together to make a bed, and the two of us will stay there for one night. Let's set off early tomorrow morning."
"Aunt, it's okay. We can just have one room for men and one room for women. We don't have many quilts at home. We can squeeze together like this so that we don't get frozen in such a cold weather."
"It's okay. We lit a charcoal pot to keep warm. The room isn't that cold."
"Aunt, don't be polite to us. Just do as I say."
"Okay, I'll go clean it up then."
The Wei family had indeed lived a good life in the past. Liu Caixia and her friends discovered this when they were helping to make the bed. It was a large bed that was about two meters by a little over two meters in size. There was a straw mat underneath, and a mattress directly on top of the straw mat. It felt like it was made of cotton, or maybe it was old cotton or an old quilt that was no longer in use and was used as a bed pad.
At least it's not as prickly as a thick straw mat, and it will make a rustling sound when you lie on it.
The quilt on top was also very thick, but the cotton fluffing at that time was done by hand, which was very laborious, so the cotton fluff was not that wide, only about one and a half meters wide.
When Aunt Wei took out two new-looking quilts from their luggage, Liu Caixia had a new understanding of her. The old couple had really come to terms with it. It was good that they were not ignorant. It was good to use good things for yourself first.
"Madam, these two quilts were originally prepared for that rebellious son to use when he got married. We had already arranged a marriage for him, but he didn't live up to it. We will only take these two quilts with us. We can't take many of the other old ones with us, so we'll leave them here. If you don't like them, you can refurbish them and make new ones, or use them as mattresses."
"You are so polite, Auntie. We can't thank you enough for leaving it to us."
Most people would definitely take these things to second-hand pawn shops and sell them. Although there aren't many pieces of furniture left at home, if you're willing to sell them you can still get some money.
It can be seen that this couple is really nice. I hope they can live a good life after leaving here.
"We ordered a mule cart from the mule traffickers this afternoon, and will bring it here tomorrow morning. We don't have any fodder to feed the mules at home. We will leave soon, so we asked the mule traffickers to help feed the mules for one more night. This will make it easier for us to travel. Otherwise, if we walk, we don't know how long it will take us to get there."
"Aunt, you have made very good arrangements. I wish you a safe journey in advance. If you have the chance to come back, please come to visit the shop. If I am not here, you can also come to Xiushui Village. We have settled in Xiushui Village."
"Okay, okay, I have a brother from my mother's side who lives in Qingshui Village, which is near Xiushui Village. I originally wanted to settle down in his village, but my rebellious son knows my uncle's family, and it would be a hassle if he came to visit. That's why I want to go farther away."
"You're right to think so."
People around were also talking about their family affairs. Aunt Wei used to feel embarrassed about it, but after a while, she became indifferent to it. After all, people were not lying.
Thinking back, she had done a lot of stupid things for that son.
A neighbor once told him that his son was not doing well in school and often went out to eat, drink and have fun with others. But she didn't believe it and scolded him for being jealous of others. She couldn't stand his son being able to go to school and her family being rich in business. She was just jealous of their good life.
As a result, she took the kindness of others as a donkey's liver and lung. If she had listened to them at the time, or even checked it out, instead of blindly believing her son, she would have taken good care of him early on. There would not have been what happened later.
Therefore, she was too embarrassed to see the old sister now. You know, the old sister helped her after the incident at their home, so in the afternoon she sent some things that she couldn't take away to the sister.
Although the sister's son could not go to school, his family did not run a business. He just worked honestly as a clerk in the shop.
At least she is diligent and obedient to her parents, and now she has a grandson. The old sisters did not add insult to injury, but advised her to be more open-minded and think more positively. Since she has decided to leave, she should not have any psychological burden. Just live a good life in the future. Maybe she will never see him again in her life. Thinking about it, she still feels a little reluctant.
Aunt Wei looked at the neighbors and waved to them as a farewell.
After closing the door and returning to the house, the group worked for a while and tidied up the place where they would sleep that night.
There was still firewood, pots and pans in the kitchen, which they had to take away, but it would not prevent them from being used tonight. They boiled some water, especially the three people from the Li family, who washed themselves thoroughly and changed into clean clothes.
Everyone rested one after another.
There really aren't many entertainment activities these days, and it's pretty tiring running around outside all day.
