Chapter 497 The Vicious Mother-in-Law 43
The fourth child, Ma Xiangmei, got married three years ago. Her husband is Ma Xiangdong’s comrade Wang Jianguo. Ma Xiangdong was the matchmaker for their original marriage.
Because the two went to the ministry on the third day after their marriage, they did not have family leave for the next three years.
However, every New Year, Ma Xiangmei would send twenty yuan to the original owner, and also send some nutritional supplements to the original owner.
This year, before the New Year, Ma Xiangmei sent 20 yuan to Yuanchun. After Yuanchun received the money, he asked Ma Xiangdong to write a reply letter to Ma Xiangmei, and also gave back a few dried rabbits and two Pounds of dried mushrooms were mailed together.
On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Ma Xiangmei and Wang Jianguo came back with their one and a half year old daughter.
On the second day after returning to her husband's house, the couple came to Qinghe Village to visit Yuanchun, holding their child and carrying large and small bags.
As soon as Ma Xiangmei entered the door, he knelt down to Yuan Chun and said, "Mom, I'm back. I'm not filial. I didn't come back to see you until I got married after so long."
Yuan Chun hurriedly pulled up his eldest daughter, " Meizi, you are not unfilial. You are a military wife, and your responsibility is to take good care of Jianguo's rear and take care of his family."
Ma Xiangmei suddenly cried, "Mom... I miss you..."
"Mom misses you too." Yuanchun said silently for the original owner.
Afterwards, Ma Xiangmei saw Ma Xiangdong's empty trouser leg again, and tears fell uncontrollably, "Brother, how are you? Does your leg still hurt?"
"Meizi, don't cry. My eldest brother is very well. His legs no longer hurt." Ma Xiangdong raised his hand and touched his eldest sister's head out of habit.
Ma Xiangmei cried louder, "Brother, I feel sorry for you."
"I'm fine." Ma Xiangdong took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Although I only have one left Legs, but I am not a useless person. I will work hard to make money to support my family, raise your two nieces, and provide for my mother in her old age.”
Ma Xiangdong pointed to several pieces of bamboo furniture in the room, "Look, these pieces of bamboo furniture are all my craftsmanship. Even if I lose both legs in the future, I can still rely on this craftsmanship to support my family."< br>
Ma Xiangmei noticed that the furnishings in the room were different from before.
There are several more pieces of bamboo furniture in the house. Each piece is as beautiful as a work of art.
Ma Xiangmei fell in love with her at first sight.
Ma Xiangdong saw the fondness in her eyes and said, "Meizi, there are some pieces of bamboo furniture in the warehouse at home. You can take them back and use them. They were prepared for you by eldest brother."
"Brother, I can't be in vain. If you want your furniture, I'll give you money."
"What did you say? That's what I gave you. , just think of it as the dowry that I, the eldest brother, will compensate you for."
"Brother, I..."
"Okay, isn't it just a few pieces of furniture? There are a lot of them on the bamboo mountain. It doesn’t cost anything, it’s just a matter of effort on my part, so don’t argue with me.”
"Okay, I'll accept it, thank you, brother."
Ma Xiangmei was so moved that she burst into tears.
Among the siblings, Ma Xiangmei and Ma Xiangdong have the best relationship. Ma Xiangmei has always respected her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and is very close to her eldest brother and sister-in-law.
Before getting married, as long as she was at home, she would help her sister-in-law with housework.
After she joined the army, she was not worried about my mother, but she was worried that my sister-in-law and two nieces would have a hard time. She was worried that my mother would target her sister-in-law and two nieces everywhere.
Last year, her eldest brother was seriously injured and lost a leg. She was so uncomfortable that she had a fetal infection, which caused her daughter to be born half a month prematurely.
The eldest brother was forced to retire from the army and return home. She was worried that my mother would treat him badly. She was always worried about him, which made her unable to sleep well for more than a year.
Unexpectedly, my mother not only no longer resented her eldest brother and sister-in-law, but also treated her eldest brother and sister-in-law favorably. This made her heart drop heavily.
