Chapter 328 I'm Not Coming to Town

The next day, Dezi was feeling much better. He sat on the hospital bed. Daya held a cup and fed him water little by little. Xiaoya was reading a picture book beside him. The three siblings got along very harmoniously. This was what Yu Xueli had always wanted to see since she was a child.

When she came in carrying three lunch boxes and a thermos bucket, all three children looked at her.

"Mom is here."

"Mom, what delicious food did you bring? I can smell the fragrance."

“Is there any soup?”

"Like a greedy little cat, there's soup, the chicken soup your grandmother Qian made, braised pork trotters, stir-fried pork, and ten steamed buns. Eat them while they're hot."

Yu Xueli set up the small table on the hospital bed and opened two lunch boxes filled with food. She gave a steamed bun to each of the three children, then took the chopsticks and went out to the bathroom to wash.

"Brother, look, this is made by Grandma Qian. Her cooking is delicious. Do you want to smell it?"

"It smells so good. I haven't eaten meat in a long time."

"Brother, eat more later. Grandma Qian's stir-fried meat doesn't have chili in it, but it does have Chinese cabbage. You can eat it. Your head is still injured, so you need to take good care of yourself!"

Dezi squinted his eyes and smiled, holding a steamed bun in his hand. Looking at the two lunch boxes full of food, his heart felt warm.

Yu Xueli came back soon. She gave each of the children a pair of chopsticks and started eating. Dezi still had a wound on his head, and although he was very greedy, Yu Xueli still kept an eye on him and asked him to eat slowly.

He is very obedient.

He used to feel annoyed when listening to Yu Xueli talk, but it was different now. He was also a person under someone's supervision. He felt that he was being managed by his mother, and he felt very happy in his heart.

"It's delicious. Grandma Qian is so nice. I like Grandma Qian the most. Brother, when we all live in the county town in the future, we can be together all the time and eat the food cooked by Grandma Qian."

Dezi nodded vigorously, then became dejected again, looking at Xiaoya and shaking his head.

"I'm not coming to the city. I'm going to live with my grandparents."

Daya choked on the steamed bun she was biting, looked at Dezi and said harshly: "What's wrong? You are still ignorant. What kind of people are your grandparents? In their hearts, your father is the most important. They usually treat you like a baby, isn't it because you are a boy? I tell you, if you still follow your grandparents, you will be beaten to death sooner or later."

As she spoke, she looked at Dezi with red eyes, and seeing that he was eating in silence without saying a word, she quickly looked at her mother.

"Mom, my brother is a big fool, let's just leave him alone."

Dezi panicked instantly after hearing this. "Mom, I, I can't come to the city. I really can't come to the city."

Yu Xueli looked at his anxious and flustered appearance, waved her little hand, almost touching his forehead, and quickly stopped him.

"Don't move. You still have a wound on your head. Your sister just said that. She loves you, otherwise she would have ignored you a long time ago. You have been like a little bully since you were a child. You have bullied your sister since you were old enough to understand. She has suffered so much from you, your grandparents and your father since she was a child. When she was very young, she had to wash clothes, cook, clean and cut grass for pigs to earn work points. Dezi, your sister has gone through so much hardship and fatigue, and she still thinks of you. You should remember your sister's kindness."

"I, I did, but I can't come to the county town. I knew I was wrong a long time ago. My grandparents used to say that I was the golden grandson and the heir of the Xu family, so I felt that I was great. My father did nothing, but he could still have enough to eat and drink. I thought he was amazing. But after my mother took my sister and my younger sister away, I was often bullied. The people in the village said that I was a motherless child and threw stones and dirt at me. There was a lot of work at home, so my grandparents also started to let me work. Woo, woo, woo, I really know I was wrong. I also want to follow mother and be with my sister and my younger sister. I will definitely learn well in the future, mother, but I can't follow you. I overheard my grandparents saying in the middle of the night that they said no mother would be willing to give up her child. They said that if I followed you, they would go to bother you every day in the future. If I couldn't bother you, you would go to that uncle's house to bother you. By then, the family will have enough food and drink, and I will be a burden."

Yu Xueli's eyes turned red when he said that. She quickly turned her head to look the other way and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"How bad! You have maggots in your heart."

"Bad, all bad. My brother has become good. I won't be with them if I don't want to be with them."

Yu Xueli thought about it and said, "You are a child. If you really want to be with your elder sister and younger sister, I will find a way to take you away. Your Uncle Qian and your Grandma Qian are both good people. They will accept you. Are you willing to go with me?"

Dezi pursed his lips, tears streaming down his face and his nose running, but he still shook his head.

"No, mother. Grandpa and grandma were good to me before. People say that dad is a bad person. When grandpa and grandma die, there will be no one to bury them. I want to stay with them. I will stay in Lujia Village. If you miss me, you can go to see me."

Yu Xueli listened to his words and felt relieved for some reason. There was still a gap between them as mother and son, and there was no way it could be resolved in an instant.

But thinking about the fact that the old couple of the Xu family are already old, and I don’t know how many years they can live, and Dezi is still so young, I don’t know how many years he will have to endure.

"If you have made up your mind, mother will not force you. After mother and your uncle Qian get married next month, your elder sister and your younger sister will come to the city to go to school. I will also enroll you in the primary school in the commune. I will leave the place where we live now to you. When winter comes, mother will buy some bricks and tiles to repair the house. If you are wronged by your grandparents in the future, just go to mother's room. Your Aunt Lianhua and your Aunt Xifeng will take care of you. If you are hungry, go to them for dinner. Mother will give them money, and you can eat with peace of mind. Your elder sister and younger sister and I will visit you when we are resting, okay?"

Dezi wiped away his tears after hearing this, smiled happily at her and nodded heavily. This was already the best.

Perhaps, to be unfilial, maybe after my grandparents pass away, I will still be able to live with my mother!

"You should study hard and learn as much as you can. If you don't learn well, you can take my job after graduation. Thirty-five dollars a month is enough to support yourself. Yeah!"

"No need, mom. Give your job to my sister and younger sister. I don't want it."

"Your elder sister is now ranked among the top three in the class every month. She will have a decent job in the future. Your younger sister is also studying with your elder sister. She is also very smart. Even if I give it to them, they won't need it."

Dezi: “.”

He thinks I'm stupid, but he is already very happy that his mother is thinking about him.
