Chapter 85 He went too far.

The two elderly people are too old to work and need to be taken care of.

He had been unwilling for a long time, but he had never dared to say it.

Shen Cuifen sneered, her eyes full of mockery.

"Chen Cuifen!"

Yang Juanhua was so angry that she was trembling all over.

"That's not up to you to decide!"

"As soon as Jian Guo comes back, I'll have him send you back to your parents' home!"

"Don't blame him for finding someone else outside if you're heartless!"

Yang Juanhua pointed at Chen Cuifen, her voice sharp and shrill.

Shen Cuifen, however, remained calm and composed.

She said calmly, "Let's talk about it when he gets back."

Yang Juanhua's heart tightened upon hearing this.

I don't know what to do next.

No matter how she pressed her, Shen Cuifen refused to say where Lu Jianguo was.

Yang Juanhua was no match for her opponent.

She knew perfectly well that all she could do now was wait for Lu Shuixian to return before figuring out a solution.

In the end, Yang Juanhua and Lu Fuquan had no choice but to give up.

The two looked at each other and saw helplessness and frustration in each other's eyes.

Lu Fuquan sighed, turned around and walked away silently.

Yang Juanhua was hungry after making a fuss all morning, so she had to go to the kitchen to cook something to eat.

Those two brothers were just fighting.

But the moment they smelled the aroma wafting from the pot, the two of them were in perfect unison—

They rushed out of their respective houses almost simultaneously.

Then he ran to the kitchen.

The two exchanged a glance at each other at the doorway, their eyes filled with wariness.

A moment later, the two of them turned their heads and snorted almost simultaneously.

They immediately stepped inside, all wanting to grab a good spot near the stove.

Before she could even enter the door, Yang Juanhua suddenly rushed out.

Her face was full of anger.

"Shen Cuifen! Where did you hide the oil and salt?"

Yang Juanhua shouted at Shen Cuifen, who was sitting under the eaves.

It turned out that she only realized after cooking the porridge that all the oil and salt had disappeared.

The porridge in the pot was so bland it was like water, with absolutely no flavor.

Moreover, the jars of cured meat and pickled vegetables have all disappeared.

Yang Juanhua immediately recognized that it was Shen Cuifen who did it.

Over here, Shen Cuifen is sewing her own clothes.

Hearing Yang Juanhua's outburst, she slowly raised her head, her tone sarcastic.

"Salt? It's locked in the cupboard!"

"Didn't you keep telling me to divorce your son? I bought all the oil and salt; you don't deserve to eat them."

She paused, her gaze fixed coldly on Yang Juanhua.

"I pickled the cured pork and salted vegetables myself, so don't even think about touching them! If you keep nagging, I won't even leave you any noodles!"

Yang Juanhua's face flushed red with anger, and her chest heaved violently.

"Rebellion! Rebellion!"

She finally erupted, her voice suddenly rising in pitch.

"How dare you speak to your mother-in-law like that? What kind of behavior is this!"

"You're not divorced yet! This money was earned by my son! Hand over your things now, or else... or else..."

Yang Juanhua hesitated for a long time before finally refusing to utter another harsh word.

Because she noticed that Shen Cuifen's eyes were cold and ruthless.

It was as if if she said another word, the other party would immediately pounce on her and attack.

Yang Juanhua felt a pang of fear and backed down.

After all, this woman is not someone to be trifled with.

The scene of beating the two Lu brothers a while ago is still vivid in my mind...

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss he can avoid.

Yang Juanhua snorted coldly, suppressing her anger.

Then he went into the kitchen and slammed the door shut.

She slammed the bowls and chopsticks down on the stove with a loud clang.

"Wait until my daughter's in-laws arrive, then we'll see how arrogant you can still be!"

Yang Juanhua wasn't very good at cooking to begin with.

This time, the resulting porridge was dark and smelled burnt.

It looks very dirty.

Three people, each holding a bowl, squatted by the stove.

We looked at each other, our expressions a mixture of helplessness and embarrassment.

"Grandma, you can give me any pickled vegetables you like! What kind of rubbish is this? It's black and bitter, and it has no taste at all. I'd rather go and eat a couple of bites from the pig trough!"

Lu Guilin frowned and couldn't help but complain.

"You little brat! If you want pickled vegetables, why don't you ask that guy outside? Who knows where she hid them! You say my cooking is worse than pig swill, then don't eat it!"

Yang Juanhua was already holding back a lot of anger.

Now there are vents.

Lu Guilin pouted and rolled his eyes.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, he could only admit defeat.

Because Yang Juanhua is an elder.

As for going to find Shen Cuifen?

Only a fool would go!

Although the porridge was really disgusting, everyone was starving.

So the three of them had no choice but to close their eyes, grit their teeth, and swallow while pinching their noses.

After finishing their meal, the three of them threw their bowls on the table as usual and turned to leave.

That's how it's always been.

Nobody cared, and nobody said anything.

Just then, Shen Cuifen came in to pour water.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw that the once clean pots and pans had been ruined and were now a complete mess.

She immediately understood; it must have been the same a few days ago.

After each meal, no one would clean up, and Lu Guizhen would quietly tidy up the messy stove.

She felt a pang of sadness mixed with anger.

"I don't care about the bowl."

Shen Cuifen kept a straight face.

"But from now on, each of you will be assigned a specific set of bowls and chopsticks. Remember them carefully. Pots must be thoroughly cleaned! The stove must be free of grease. Whoever fails to do so will not be allowed to touch the stove again!"

Why should we have to wash the dishes?

Lu Guilin immediately jumped up.

"Every time you ate the past few days, you just left immediately. Nobody said anything about cleaning up! Shen Cuifen, what's gotten into you this time!"

None of them provoked her today, so why are they picking on her again?

Isn't this just deliberately picking a fight?

Lu Fuquan stood to the side, feeling incredibly annoyed.

"Why should I? Because I bought this pot with my own money! It's my private property! Anyone who wants to use it has to follow my rules! From now on, anyone who wants to cook with firewood has to go up the mountain to collect it themselves! If you can't collect firewood, then don't light a fire or cook! Don't blame me if you go hungry!"

"By the way, I've divided up that half-bag of flour and that bag of rice according to the number of people! One portion for everyone, no more, no less! Once we finish them, there really won't be any left! Anyone else want some? Fine, go grow your own! I don't feed freeloaders here!"

As Shen Cuifen spoke, she pointed to the corner of the wall.

Several bags of grain were neatly stacked there.

There was also a small note with the name written on it on the bag.

After Shen Cuifen finished speaking, she swept her cold gaze across the crowd.

She felt she had been too kind.

But she also understands that some things cannot be done to the extreme.

Acting too hastily could backfire.

Only then did the three of them notice the pile of rice and flour in the corner.

"Mom, since we're talking about dividing the family property, let's divide the money too!"

Lu Fuquan finally spoke.

He could no longer remain silent.

If Lu Guilin gets engaged first, then he probably won't get his share of the family's savings!

That was money he had saved for many years, money he was saving to get married!

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Juanhua's fist slammed heavily onto his shoulder.

“Zhongping! What are you yelling about! Even if we're going to divide the family property, it's not up to Shen Cuifen to decide! We have to wait for your father to come back! We'll discuss it when he gets back! And then…”

Towards the end, Yang Juanhua suddenly stopped talking.

"You're going to kick me out again?"

Shen Cuifen gave a cold laugh.
