Chapter 802 My Nephew is an Only Child (5)
Tian Dongsheng manages all the money in Tian Dongsheng's family, and Wang Qiuqin has no say in how much money she earns or how much work she does.
Wang Qiuqin was unhappy about Tian Dongsheng paying for Tian Yaozu's house and bride price, but she couldn't make a decision about it.
After Tian Yaozu left the Tian family, Tian Dongsheng got old and his health deteriorated, so he gradually stopped fighting. However, he liked to pick fights with words, and Wang Qiuqin would usually scold him and call him a scoundrel.
Not long after Tian Yaozu got married, they soon had a child.
This is the only son of the new generation in the Tian family. Tian Dongsheng volunteered to take care of the child, but Tian Yaozu refused because Tian Yaozu's wife did not like outsiders.
Tian Dongsheng and Wang Qiuqin gave Tian Yaozu three thousand yuan every month, saying it was for buying things for the children.
The Tian family had already spent a lot of money supporting Tian Yaozu's schooling, buying a house, and getting him married, and even had a debt of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
Even if the two of them work like crazy, they might not be able to scrape together 3,000 yuan a month.
Tian Dongsheng didn't think that way. After all, he was over fifty years old, the prime of his life, to build an empire for his descendants and make it easier for him to retire in the future.
After receiving the money, Tian Yaozu would bring the children back to stay for two days every month, allowing Tian Dongsheng to enjoy family life.
It's 150 li (about 75 kilometers) from the county town to their home. Tian Yaozu and his wife always take a taxi back, which costs them more than 400 yuan a month.
Tian Dongsheng felt this wasn't a solution, so he bought a car for Tian Yaozu in his own name and paid off the loan himself.
Tian Yaozu was deeply moved and even had his child call Tian Dongsheng "Grandpa".
Wang Qiuqin was completely dragged down, working herself to the bone every day to raise someone else's child.
Perhaps due to genetics, Tian Dongsheng also died young, passing away just after his 65th birthday.
He has never spent a single day living in the house he bought or driving his own car around the world.
Wang Qiuqin is over sixty years old and in poor health. Tian Yaozu dislikes her, but since the car loan is not yet paid off, he can only reluctantly come back to see her every month.
Forgiving others and letting go of one's own sins has never been Wang Qiuqin's style.
Wang Qiuqin saved all the money she earned from odd jobs and never used it to pay off her loan or give any money to Tian Yaozu.
The bank kept pressing for the car loan payment, and Tian Yaozu, seeing no other way and fearing that his credit score would affect his child, had no choice but to grit his teeth and pay it off in one lump sum.
Fortunately, it wasn't a lot of money, just over 30,000.
After this incident, Tian Yaozu rarely contacted Wang Qiuqin, and even stopped going home every month.
They occasionally made a phone call, always asking for money, but Wang Qiuqin had no money to give them.
Wang Qiuqin was in poor health and lived intermittently for another ten years before finally dying on her own kang (heated brick bed). She was only discovered when the smell became noticeable.
Tian Yaozu felt it was bad luck and hastily had her buried.
After receiving the memories, Xiong Bufan felt that this person's suffering was somewhat prolonged and ordinary, and that the person was also somewhat foolish and indecisive, hence the endless suffering.
"Kongkong, what was the original owner's wish?"
Kongkong scratched her head. "She doesn't have any wishes, and she doesn't even know what she wants."
However, one thing is certain: she will no longer support that ungrateful Tian Yaozu, and she also hates Tian Dongsheng.
"Oh, what about her own child?"
Kongkong was even more confused. Tian Chunsheng wasn't mentioned at all in the wish. "She didn't say anything, but I guess she hoped she could finish junior high school."
"Oh"
The sun had already set. Xiong Bufan shook off the insects crawling on his body and flew down from the tree.
Xiong Bufan still felt that Wang Qiuqin was a bit outrageous, like a microcosm of a certain type of person from the old era.
She was disliked at home when she was young, disliked by her husband's family in middle age, hated by her adopted son, and neglected by everyone in her old age, only to be discovered when she was already in a bad state.
However, even if Wang Qiuqin gave Tian Yaozu money after Tian Dongsheng died, she still couldn't change the fact that she would die alone.
Xiong Bufan strolled down the mountain; it was time for him to eat.
Tian Chunsheng was still at home. He was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. The front door was tightly closed, and he was cooking at home.
Suddenly, someone stood outside the courtyard, craning their neck to look into the yard. "Chunsheng, is your mother back?"
Tian Chunsheng looked towards the door and saw it was the village chief's wife. He quickly said, "Fifth Aunt, my mother hasn't come back yet. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Liu Xiuzhi felt she shouldn't take her anger out on the child, and said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that when your mother was in the hospital, she left your father and your brother to go to a restaurant to eat."
Your fifth uncle stayed at the hospital with your dad and brother, and went hungry all afternoon.
Tian Chunsheng didn't know what to do, so he could only say, "Auntie, I'm sorry, my mother hasn't come back yet. She probably didn't mean it."
"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to tell you."
Tian Chunsheng remained silent upon hearing this, but after a while he said, "Fifth Aunt, come inside and have some water."
The food will be ready soon.
Liu Xiuzhi waved her hand, "I won't go. I came to see your mother, but she's not here, so I'll go back first."
Goodbye, Fifth Aunt.
Liu Xiuzhi left Tian Dongsheng's house without saying a word. She had come to cause trouble for Wang Qiuqin, but she didn't expect that Wang Qiuqin wasn't home.
Tian Chunsheng sighed and continued cooking. She was convinced that Liu Xiuzhi was lying and cursed Liu Xiuzhi in her heart.
She's such an old woman, and she never tells the truth. Her mother is so honest; she would never go to a restaurant and eat whatever she wants.
Before Xiong Bufan even got home, he could already smell the aroma of food, and his legs unconsciously quickened their pace.
"Mom, you're back."
Xiong Bufan: "Is the food ready?"
Tian Chunsheng sensed that something was wrong with Wang Qiuqin, but when asked about the food, he quickly nodded and said, "It's ready, it's ready. I'll clean it up for you."
"Thank you."
Xiong Bufan sat back down on the kang (a heated brick bed), turned on the TV, and waited for the food to be served.
Tian Chunsheng first moved the small table onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and then served the dishes.
Considering that there wasn't enough food for lunch, Tian Chunsheng cooked a lot of food for dinner.
Xiong Bufan ate while watching TV. He hadn't watched TV in a long time, so even watching the commercials was enjoyable.
After cleaning up the food, Tian Chunsheng stood cautiously to the side and called out, "Mom."
Xiong Bufan: "Let's change the way we address you. The word 'Mom' is too expensive."
Tian Chunsheng was stunned when she heard this. Was she going to lose her mother now? Thinking of this, Tian Chunsheng began to shed tears.
Xiong Bufan watched TV and ate without looking at her. Tian Chunsheng cried for a while and then went out.
Kongkong did not want Xiong Bufan to manage Tian Chunsheng, because raising these kids would only waste resources and yield nothing in the end.
Wang Qiuqin was Tian Chunsheng's biological mother, but she still died at home in the end, and her body was only discovered after it started to decompose.
Crying is really ruining my good mood, so Xiong Bufan said, "Stop crying and go get me some more food."
From now on, you can call me whatever you want.
"Okay, mother."
Xiong Bufan muttered, "This one is more expensive," and then ignored Tian Chunsheng.
