Ma Laosan’s expression flickered slightly, his face showing dissatisfaction. "Mother, just let me sleep on the floor in your room alone. I’m strong and can handle the cold and dampness of the ground, but Xiaoying is a woman, and Sanlin and Silin are still young; they can’t withstand the chill of the floor in winter. Mother, please just let Xiaoying and the boys squeeze in with Daya and Er’ya."
Last night, Ma Xiangling had come to him in tears, complaining about having her room taken away. Ma Laosan was well aware that his mother now favored his eldest brother’s family. Although he was unwilling to accept the loss of his room, he didn't dare try to take it back.
Ever since Yuanchun had beaten Wang Xiaoying and her brothers during their trip to Qinghe Village, Wang Xiaoying had never wanted to return there. Because of this, she constantly found faults with Ma Laosan, picking on him over trifles. The couple, who had once been deeply in love and never exchanged an angry word, now fought every other day. Ma Laosan had not had a comfortable life, and he hadn't returned home even once in these past few months.
