Reborn as a landlord!I can

Chapter 116 Mother’s Heart

She knew she was sick, very sick, but she still had to support her weak body to cook for them these two days, but her husband and son only cared about eating enough for themselves, and no one cared about her poor appetite.

Looking at the ferocious-faced Zhou Laoer, she suddenly figured out that she used to listen to her father's advice to do more things and interfere less with men, and served him well, but after more than ten years, he was not moved and did not see her. Well, he was only harsh and impatient towards her. The son he raised and doted on also imitated his father's example, and looked at her as his own mother with anger and no affection at all.

"I'm sick and can't get up! Just do it yourself."

Liu Xiaoya's voice was small, but her tone was very calm.

Zhou Laoer was pretending to be angry outside, and he became even more angry when he saw her dying. Now that she was disobedient, he immediately got angry and started beating her with the broom.

Liu Xiaoya groaned in pain, but she had no strength to dodge. She just held her head and looked at her son who was watching all this indifferently. When she saw him turning away impatiently and covering his ears, forget it. She smiled bitterly. She had been such a failure in life, and she became completely silent as she looked at him.

Zhou Laoer hit her a few more times, and after seeing that she was being honest and not moaning anymore, he stopped his anger, dropped the broom and pushed her body.

"Get up and cook quickly. If you disobey me, I'll beat you to death."

Liu Xiaoya still didn't respond. Zhou Maodan turned around and met his wide-open eyes, which made him jump up in fright.

"Damn it, look at what I'm doing, my dad asked you to cook."

Liu Xiaoya remained motionless, still looking ahead without blinking.

Zhou Maodan frowned and looked at her. Suddenly he thought of something. He breathed quickly and called out to Zhou Laoer who picked up the broom again.

"Dad, dad, she...she...is dead."

Zhou Laoer froze, threw down the broom in his hand, straightened her body, stretched out his fingers to feel her breath, and sure enough, she was not breathing.

"Damn it, this bitch really doesn't know how to choose the right time, she still wants me to cook by myself."

After spitting on the ground, Zhou Laoer looked at Zhou Maodan,

"Get up, go and cook for me, I'm hungry."

"I won't go, and I don't know how to do it. You beat people to death and figure out your own solution."

Zhou Maodan picked up a rag and covered his mother's face, then picked up two sweet potatoes from the kitchen house and put them in his pocket. He was indifferent to Liu Xiaoya's death and walked out the door indifferently.

"I went to find my brother to make a living. You can take care of my mother's body."

Zhou Laoer watched his son, who was taller than him, go out and walk away. He was so angry that he kicked over the lame stool.

"You are such a white-eyed and unfilial son, you dare to show off to me."

Seeing the dead Liu Xiaoya, she suddenly became angry again. This woman was useless and she couldn't teach her son well.

After looking at the red sun in the sky, I couldn't put the person at home. It would stink after a while on such a hot day, so I had to bury the person.

After finding a hoe, he rolled the woman up with the tattered mat underneath Liu Xiaoya, carried the hoe on his shoulder and walked into the forest.

"Zhou Laoer, why are you going?"

Without thinking, he met a group of people returning from soaking in the water. They saw the strips on his shoulders and asked curiously.

Zhou Laoer carried the light body and continued walking without looking back. He had to hurry up to bury the body and go home to find food. He was too hungry.

"Liu Xiaoya is dead, I will bury her on the mountain."

The men watched him carry the dead Liu Xiaoya away and began to point at his back.

"What a crime. He has ruined a good wife. Without a hard-working and willing wife to support the family, let's see what kind of life he will live in the future. It is really a disgrace to us men."

"Who says it's not the case? Just look around in our village and find a lot of bachelors with better character than Mr. Zhou. It's a pity for an honest girl like Liu Xiaoya."

There was a lot of regret in his tone. He was a bachelor and it was not easy to find a wife. He was still single at his age.

"It's just that I wonder if Old Man Liu and Liu Dabao will be sad if they know that she died at such a young age."

"It's strange that those two heartless people can be sad. It's okay for the stepmother to treat the child in front of her badly. It's all like this. But as biological fathers and brothers, they didn't say a word when they saw her being bullied. Do you think they can A good person?"

"Forget it, go home quickly and find something to eat. It doesn't have much to do with us."

"Let's go, go home quickly."

The men started to fight again, leaving Zhou Laoer and the dead man behind.

Zhou Laoer felt the disdainful gaze disappear from behind, and his heart was boiling. He didn't do anything. Why did these people like to be nosy? They kept talking about his family's affairs. Just wait, don't give him a chance. , otherwise there will always be a time when he takes revenge and goes back.

Because the forest on the left and right was a place where villagers often came, he planned to bury the person in the back. He got tired before walking too far into the forest, so he randomly picked a place and started digging a hole.

He dug out a shallow pit as high as a person, threw Liu Xiaoya's body into it, and filled it back with soil. Suddenly there was a small bump on the ground. Thinking of the beasts that occasionally appeared in the forest, he found a few stones with conscience. Press it on top to prevent wild animals from smelling it and scratching it.

Zhou Laoer returned to his shabby home. When he entered the door, he saw his mother walking around in the yard. When she saw him, she pulled his arm.

"Second brother, I heard someone said that your wife is gone?"

Mrs. Zhou grabbed his sleeve and looked up at him nervously, wanting to hear him deny the rumor.

"Well, gone."

Zhou Laoer replied in an indifferent tone, walked to the kitchen house, threw down the hoe, washed two sweet potatoes and started to eat them raw.

"Then what will you do with Mao Dan in the future? Your brother and sister-in-law don't want me to take care of you more."

Mrs. Zhou is worried because her son and grandson have no one to take care of her.

"Why don't you give me another wife? This time, I'll find someone who is stronger and can have two more grandchildren."

"No, I have a partner, the Widow He from Shanglin Village next door. I want to marry her."

Zhou Laoer interrupted his mother's chattering,

"Mom, before Widow He comes in, come and cook for me and your grandson. When she comes in, you can go back to eldest brother's house."

Mrs. Zhou froze unnaturally for a moment, then relaxed again when Mr. Zhou didn't notice.

"Mom also came here and wanted to take care of you, but your eldest brother and sister-in-law refused to let me go, insisting that I help take care of the twins at home. You also know that your sister-in-law almost lost the baby this time, and your eldest brother is nervous."

Seeing the ugly expression on her old son's face, Mrs. Zhou whispered comforting suggestions.

"Since you have a partner, hurry up and let her in. As long as you like her, I will accept her as a widow. I just ask her to give you another son."

Zhou Laoer's expression improved a little, and he thought his mother's idea was a good one. Thinking of Widow He's request, he complained irritably to Mrs. Zhou.

"Mom, she wants five dollars and a new suit of clothes before she is willing to come in. I don't have any money. Please help my son think of a way."

Mrs. Zhou turned her body sideways and pretended to sweep the floor with a broom. When Mr. Zhou wasn't paying attention, she touched the money bag on her waistband with her hand. There were two oceans there, which were left over from her profit sharing the year before.

She was a little reluctant to give it.
