Before she could continue, Grandpa Du impatiently cut her off.

“Alright, alright! What’s the point of saying all of this?”

Grandma Du shut up.

Du Shanqiang could only shut up.

Grandpa Du was silent for a while before he said, “Shanqiang, tomorrow you will go and ask for work in the shop. Now that the month is ending, I’m sure they’re calmed down and will take you back. As long as you apologize, they will be appeased.”

“Can you stop asking me to do something that is impossible?” Du Shanqiang was angry and felt helpless with the request.

“Even if Dafu’s anger has subsided, even if I don’t go, they will ask someone to call me back. Why didn’t you think about it that way?! Anyway, I’m not going! There’s no point!

“Wasn’t it embarra.s.sing enough for us at Locust Village last time? If I go and cause drama again, how will you expect me to live for the rest of my life?”

At the end of his speech, Du Shanqiang squatted on the side with his arms around his knees, his eyes turning red.

Grandma Du and Grandpa Du were naturally disappointed with this outcome, but they also knew that their son was too shy to do anything. He really couldn’t stand being surrounded and pointed at again. They only had one son, and they were afraid that something would happen to their son. Naturally, their att.i.tude softened a little and they didn’t force Du Shanqiang to go to the shop any longer.

After a while, they realized where they were and had questions.

“What are you doing instead of working in the shop? Are you planning to find work? We won’t even have one silver at home to buy seeds!” Grandpa Du said.

Du Shanqiang replied, “I’ve already found the farming tools. Tomorrow will be February, so I plan to plant the rice seedlings. I plan to rent a few more acres of land to plant them. Half an acre of land at home is definitely not enough to sustain the family.”

They were not exiled here from anywhere. It was just that they were very poor, and so they did not have much wealth in terms of land. In their generation, when Grandpa Du and his brothers split up, they were only given half an acre of land.

Later on, they basically relied on renting other people’s fields to make a living.

Hearing this, Grandpa Du immediately said, “We’re both too old to help now. It’s not like in the past where we could help around. Erniu is weak. She can only wash clothes and cook, but how much physical work can she do? Daxi and Hongguo are too lazy to do anything now. Even if you rent a few acres of land, how much farming can you do on your own? Especially during harvesting time, if you were alone without a helper, how much would you be able to harvest before the harvest spoils!”

In the past, the family could rent a few acres of land to plant because Xue Daxi’s physical labor was not inferior to any man. With Xue Daxi and their son around, they could work a little more tiredly, but it was enough to make a living.

Now that Daxi was acting out, they had no other helper!

Grandma Du immediately cried out in panic, “Sooner or later, we will starve to death with you! If you want us to starve to death with you, go work in the shop!’

“Then starve to death!” Du Shanqiang turned his head to face his mother.

He would rather starve to death than embarra.s.s himself.

Seeing that their son was determined to go against them, Grandpa Du’s face was full of worry.

Grandma Du sat on the ground again and cried.

During this time, the villagers had already gotten used to Grandma Du shouting every day. No one came to visit anymore.

He Erniu was basically like a daughter-in-law now. She didn’t dare to say a word, but she kept complaining in her heart.

Although Du Shanqiang was good to her, he was a really useless man. Moreover, this family was poor. What she could see now was a hard life waiting for her..
