"Well, what do you mean by this? My virgin daughter has already been promised to someone, and you're already thinking of taking her back!"

The daughter wasn't important; the key was to get jobs for her two sons. Granny Feng started making a fuss.

Liu Yujie was incredibly shrewish, but she was utterly helpless against a shrew like Granny Feng, who was impossible to reason with.

The head sandwiched between the shoulders is completely useless.

Seeing that Liu Yujie remained silent, Granny Feng assumed that she would agree to the marriage out of consideration for her reputation, so she immediately put on a smiling face.

"Yujie, I've watched you grow up since you were little. You're a lucky girl, and you have a kind heart. When my youngest daughter marries into the family, we'll be in-laws and live close by, so we can take care of each other..."

Before he could finish speaking, a roar came from the doorway.

"Oh! No wonder you treated us so badly yesterday, making excuses to drive us away. Turns out you already had someone else in mind!"

The bride's family, who were supposed to marry into Liu Pozi's family yesterday but had a falling out and the marriage didn't happen, suddenly appeared at the door.

The woman's family thought about it all night but couldn't bear to give up the marriage. The next day, they took the initiative to offer a way out. If Granny Liu was also willing to compromise, the marriage could continue.

After all, Granny Liu had repeatedly said that Liu Xiaoguai would have a shop to fall back on no matter what.

Liu Xiaoguai is an only child and has a wealthy aunt who supports him, so his circumstances couldn't be better.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, the woman's family and Granny Feng locked eyes and immediately started fighting.

Granny Feng was being completely overwhelmed, so she quickly shouted to her family in the backyard: "Aren't you coming over here right now? Are you all dead? Your mother is going to be beaten to death!"

The entrance to the courtyard was crowded with onlookers eager to watch the spectacle.

Aunt Zhang glared at him: "Old Cheng, you're still thinking of selling the house to some nouveau riche from out of town? If you move away from here, where will you go to see so many shows? They're even better than the ones you pay to see in the cinema!"

Aunt Cheng nodded in response.

The Chang family was the most notorious in the past. The jokes made by the incompetent eldest son of the second branch of the Chang family were enough for these gossipy women to laugh about for half a year.

Now, not to be outdone, Granny Liu's family has started another battle between two women for one man, providing plenty of entertainment for those living in Shuangdong Hutong.

Aunt Zhang, cracking sunflower seeds, gossiped, "I wonder who will win in the end and marry their daughter into that hellhole of Granny Liu's house!"

Just as Aunt Cheng was about to respond, she suddenly became animated and patted her arm.

"Old Liu is back!"

That old Liu is a real handful. Yesterday, when his son brought his new bride home, I couldn't even see him. It's really hard to judge him.

After turning into the house, Old Liu looked at the chaotic scene in the courtyard between his former daughter-in-law's family and the Feng family in the backyard, and he said with a smug expression, "Stop making a scene, I have something to announce!"

Regardless of which of these two families will become his future in-laws, he can't wait to share his joy.

"I'm getting married tomorrow!"

The two families, who were busy fighting, suddenly stopped, stunned by the news that Liu Laoguai had dropped.

Is Old Liu out of his mind? What we're talking about now is Little Liu getting married, what does this old geezer have to do with it!

"Big brother..." Liu Yuting was shocked. After calling out "big brother," she didn't know what to say next.

If what Liu Laoguai said is true, then this is too outrageous!

Liu Yujie was the only person in the entire room who was about to be driven mad with anger.

Liu Yujie clutched her head and groaned in pain. She asked Liu Laoguai, barely clinging to life, "Brother, you're not joking, are you?"

Where did he find a wife?!

Old Liu proudly puffed out his chest: "Don't look down on me, there are plenty of women who want to marry me!"

He turned to look at Granny Liu, his voice booming, "Mom, my wife is pregnant! She'll give you a big, healthy grandson as soon as she's married into the family! Liu Xiaoguai is good-for-nothing; we don't need him to carry on the family line!"

Granny Liu laughed with delight and hurriedly asked, "Eldest son, you weren't lying about any of this, were you?"

"It couldn't be more real!"

Granny Liu was overjoyed, and the two families who had been fighting lost their will to fight.

Seeing that he was being abandoned by the mother and son, Liu Xiaoguai had no reason to fight over them anymore!

The two families exchanged a glance and parted ways. Before leaving, one smashed the water vat at Granny Liu's house, and the other smashed the window.

Zhou Hongyu and Chen Zhaodi returned from grocery shopping just as the woman's family was angrily leaving Liu Pozi's house.

When Aunt Zhang saw them, she immediately started gossiping.

Zhou Hongyu and Chen Zhaodi listened with great interest from the roadside.

This play is truly... amazing!

As Zhou Hongyu cracked open the sunflower seeds that had been shoved into her hand, she couldn't help but ask, "Judging by this, once stepmother marries into the family with a big belly, will Liu Xiaoguai still have a chance to get married?"

Aunt Zhang chuckled and said, "Who knows? If it weren't for this stroke of luck, Liu Xiaoguai would never have had the chance to get married!"

As they were talking, the person involved rushed back from outside.

As soon as Liu Xiaoguai arrived home on his dilapidated bicycle, he eagerly shouted, "Which wife should I choose?"

Aunt Cheng laughed nonstop as she told him the cruel truth.

"Liu Xiaoguai, don't overthink it. You won't be able to marry any of them. Tomorrow it'll be your dad's turn to get a wife!"

Liu Xiaoguai exclaimed in disbelief, "This is impossible! I'll go home and ask..."

His aunt had promised him that once he married a wife, he would sleep soundly with her every night!

A moment later, Liu Xiaoguai's shrill cries echoed from the courtyard.

His wife is gone forever!

Tomorrow his father, who already has a wife, is going to take a new wife!

Liu Yujie was greatly shocked when she came back today. Compared to decades ago, her family has become even more outrageous.

Liu Yujie felt dizzy and couldn't breathe.

Liu Yuting wasn't that heartless after all. Seeing her like this, she kindly helped her outside to get some fresh air.

Liu Yujie sat by the door for a while before feeling much better.

Regaining her composure, her gaze immediately fell upon Zhou Hongyu, who was chatting happily.

Zhou Hongyu listened to the gossip shared by Aunt Zhang and Aunt Cheng, laughing non-stop, completely unaware of the look in her eyes.

A neighbor who was trying to build a good relationship with Liu Yujie asked her for a job. He caught a glimpse of this and tried to say something to ingratiate himself with Liu Yujie.

"Old Granny Chang is such a bastard, finding two such daughters-in-law! Ever since that day she was so angry that she went to the hospital, she hasn't come out yet. The Lanhua sisters said that Old Granny Chang can eat and drink, run and jump around, and doesn't look like a patient at all. It's all Zhou Hongyu's fault for being so mean, thinking of leaving Old Granny Chang in the hospital to catch the illness and die sooner..."

This person is spouting complete nonsense.

Liu Yujie gleaned important information from this: Granny Chang was hospitalized? But Granny Chang didn't look like a patient at all!

Liu Yujie seemed to have glimpsed some enormous secret from it.

Ever since Song Qingshi's transfer order came down, she had been trying to figure out where things had gone wrong, and it turned out that it was here.

I never expected Zhou Hongyu to have a brain!

She must have stumbled this time because Zhou Hongyu lied about the news, using the excuse that Granny Chang was seriously ill and hospitalized to force the organization to bring Chang Xingwang back.

Liu Yujie looked at Zhou Hongyu, who was laughing incessantly, with a hint of sarcasm. "Laugh all you want, you won't be able to laugh for long!"
