Chapter 1206: Chapter 1208: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Wu Dongdong thought for a moment, "That must be very good."

"Yes, if an elder brother is like a father, wouldn’t the eldest sister-in-law be like a mother? That’s what they say, right? Sister-in-law has always been very good to you, of course. By the way, if dad... really passes away, what are your plans for the future?"

Wu Dongdong, already eighteen years old, had his own plans. He said, "I’ve already spoken with a teacher in the county town. When the time comes, I will look for a job in the city, and I won’t come back here much."

"Oh, I see. So what about that plot of land by the river?" Niu Family finally got to the point. "Do you still plan to farm it?"

"The plot by the river? Why would sister-in-law ask about that piece of land?" Wu Dongdong wasn’t unaware of the land by the river, but he didn’t know what Niu Family was getting at.

"Your elder brother mentioned that dad is thinking of leaving that land to you. Since you’re planning to make a life in the city, why not let sister-in-law farm it?"

The plot by the river was the best to farm, with the convenience of the river nearby for water and the fertile soil that allowed for almost anything to grow well.

Wu Dongdong did not immediately agree, only saying, "Sister-in-law, let’s talk about this later. Let me think about it. And anyway, shouldn’t we be focusing on taking care of dad right now? Dad hasn’t passed yet, and you’re already thinking about dividing the land. If dad knew, it would break his heart."

After hearing this, Niu Family was somewhat embarrassed, "Yes, Dongdong is right. Sister-in-law was just speaking casually. Ever since your dad got sick, I’ve been doing my best. Not like your second sister-in-law, who doesn’t care at all about dad’s well-being, letting everything go as if she were the shopkeeper who washes her hands of the business, like today with this porridge, which I brought. She hardly ever brings any."

Wu Dongdong then said, "You’ve worked hard, sister-in-law."

"Alright, I’ll head out then."

...

No sooner had Niu Family left than Ma Family came in. As soon as Ma Family sat down, she began to cry, "Dad always treated us well, especially me. He always told your second brother not to bully me, saying it wasn’t easy for us to marry into this family. Once we married in, we became part of this family. But why is dad’s luck so bad? Why did he have to fall ill like this?"

Then she continued to wipe her tears.

After dealing with Niu Family, Wu Dongdong had become more cautious, so he remained calm, "Second sister-in-law is grateful and knows how to reciprocate, truly a person who cherishes her blessings."

"Ever since dad got sick, your second brother and I have been seeking medical advice everywhere, but we’ve never found the right medicine, and so dad’s condition has developed to its current state. He truly has a hard fate. It’s all due to our failure to fulfill our filial duties."

"This is dad’s fate, you’re not to blame," Wu Dongdong said.

Ma Family went on, "Sigh, there’s no helping it even if we do our very best. Your elder sister-in-law and the others never understand how we feel. They always say it’s alright, that dad is almost cured, and that makes it difficult for us. If they had been more proactive, dad wouldn’t have deteriorated so fast. Do you think that’s right?"

Wu Dongdong thought to himself that now the internal fighting had started.

"Second sister-in-law, everyone has their own difficulties. I believe everyone wants the best for dad," he said.

Ma Family stopped crying and simply said, "Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, what are your plans for the future? You’ve read so many books, you definitely won’t be coming back to farm, right? Are you planning to stay in the city?"

"I plan to stay in the city," Wu Dongdong didn’t want to say much more. It was clear now what Ma Family intended.

"What about that plot of land by the river?" Ma Family asked.
