Sheng Yueqing bought two train tickets.

He instructed He Yushen, "Don't tell anyone in the family about buying the tickets, or I'll leave on my own and leave you here."

He Yushen quickly covered his mouth, blinking his big eyes as if to promise, "I would rather die than tell."

Sheng Yueqing smiled. He Yushen's greatest virtue was that he listened to her, which made life go smoothly.

She put the things she bought and the train tickets into her spatial storage, and then took He Yushen to eat beef noodles.

At first, He Yushen didn't dare to eat, but Sheng Yueqing said to him, "Have you forgotten what I told you? From now on, we can eat whatever we want!"

It's my own money anyway, I can spend it however I want.

He Yushen had never eaten beef noodles outside since he was a child. Firstly, he couldn't bear to spend the money, and secondly, the money he earned was taken away by his mother before he could even enjoy it, leaving him with no money to eat.

Now that his wife is making the decision for him, he'll have to eat it this once!

The two enjoyed a hearty meal, but He Yushen was still not full.

Sheng Yueqing knew he had a big appetite, so she instructed him, "When we get back, please serve him more rice so he can have a full meal."

He Yushen scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "I guess my mom won't let me eat it."

The food in the He family was all distributed by Old Mrs. He, so he was never full.

Sheng Yueqing asked him, "Have your brothers ever had enough to eat?"

He Yushen nodded; his brothers had indeed eaten their fill.

Sheng Yueqing raised an eyebrow. "If they can eat, so can you."

It doesn't make sense that everyone in the He family is well-fed and watered while He Yushen is starving.

Although He Yushen was a little hesitant, he knew that Sheng Yueqing was doing it for his own good.

He was pleased. "Okay, I'll eat some more when I get back."

By the time the two returned, it was already dark.

The entire He family waited at the door.

As soon as they returned, they pointed at He Yushen's face.

"You unfilial son, you still know how to come back? Where have you been all this time?!"

Old Mrs. He thought He Yushen had eloped with Sheng Yueqing, and almost told the whole village.

He Yushen is the breadwinner of the family. Without him, who will do the work?

Seeing how anxious she was, He Yushen thought that his mother finally realized she cared about him, and he was a little touched. "Mom, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Mrs. He scolded, "There's a ton of chores waiting for you at home! Who told you to run around like that!"

"Do you know how tiring it is to do so much work? Hurry up and get to work!"

Originally, after the banquet, the village women were supposed to help wash the dishes.

But fearing that the old women would steal her leftovers, Old Mrs. He sent them away and called her daughters-in-law to clean up.

But the daughters-in-law were used to being lazy and kept passing the buck, wanting He Yushen to do the washing.

He Yushen was disappointed because he didn't expect them to care about him, but just wanted him to come back and wash the dishes.

Sheng Yueqing walked up and squeezed his slender fingers. "It's okay, it's just washing the dishes. I'll help you."

He Yushen looked deeply moved and said, "Wife."

Over the years, no one has ever spoken up for him, and no one has ever been willing to share the burden with him.

My wife was the first.

His wife is indeed the best person in the world to him.

Old Mother He originally wanted to put Sheng Yueqing through a rough patch so that she could control her in the future.

He then went in to supervise.

Sheng Yueqing first stacked the bowls one by one.

At first, Old Mrs. He didn't think anything was wrong, until Sheng Yueqing stacked the bowls up to a meter high.

Old Mrs. He panicked immediately, "Don't pile them up so high!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "crack" rang out, and all of the dozen or so bowls shattered.

Old Mrs. He's eyes widened, "Sheng Yueqing!"

Sheng Yueqing smiled slyly and hid behind He Yushen, who blocked his mother with both hands.

"Mom, my wife didn't do it on purpose."

Old Mrs. He was trembling with anger. "I think she did it on purpose! More than a dozen bowls! How much money is that? Pay up!"

Sheng Yueqing looked completely innocent. "I was walking along just fine, but you had to yell at me, which scared me so much that I dropped the bowl. It's all your fault."

He Yushen agreed, "Mom, you were definitely wrong."

"If you hadn't shouted that, my wife would have finished."

Old Mrs. He was furious. "Idiot! She clearly did it on purpose! Get out of my way, I'm going to beat her to death!"

He Yushen was displeased when he heard this. "Mom, Qingqing is my wife. If you hit her, I will never help you with chores again."

The more he defended her, the angrier Old Mother He became. "You've gone too far! I gave birth to you, raised you, and helped you find a wife, and you've already forgotten your mother?"

She tried to morally blackmail He Yushen, but He Yushen didn't realize it.

"You gave birth to me and raised me, but you can't hit your wife!"

Old Mrs. He was so angry she jumped up and down: "I paid money to marry her, so I have the right to hit her!"

As he spoke, he picked up a broom and was about to hit Sheng Yueqing.

Sheng Yueqing was about to retaliate.

He Yushen snatched the broom from his mother's hand, snapped it in two with a "crack".

When Old Mrs. He went to get a second broom, he snatched it away and broke it in half as well.

To prevent He's mother from finding other tools, He Yushen simply broke all the wooden sticks in the courtyard.

He even broke carrying poles and hoes, and threw them into the latrine.

This left not only Old Mrs. He, but the entire He family completely stunned...

"He Laoliu, you've gone mad!!"

The hoe is broken, how can we shovel grain now!

He Yushen had only one thought: "Anyway, you can't hit my wife!"

He even looked at the roof, saying, "If Mom takes the roof stick, I'll break the roof too."

Old Mrs. He was so angry that her lips trembled. "You, Sixth Brother, you've really gone too far!"

She sat down on the ground and cried, "I can't live anymore! This unfilial son has forgotten his mother after getting a wife. He won't let anyone live!"

The neighbors all came to see the joke.

"Aunt He, isn't it inappropriate to wail like this on such a joyous occasion?" Aren't you afraid of bringing bad luck?

When Grandma He saw that the neighbors had all arrived, she wailed even louder.

"Tell me what he's like. His wife has only been married into the family and she's already making things difficult for her mother. How is he supposed to live like this?"

Some of the older women immediately said to He Yushen, "Sixth son, your mother raised you with great difficulty. How can you forget your mother after you get a wife? You are too unfilial."

He Yushen, however, remained completely innocent, saying, "Whether I'm filial or not, my mother can't hit my wife."

No one can come.

Everyone talked themselves hoarse, but they couldn't persuade them.

Instead, they tried to persuade Old Mother He.

"You too, how can you hit a new bride who's just entered the family?"

"That's right, Lao Liu is such an honest person. If you hadn't gone too far, he wouldn't have done all this."

Old Mrs. He was furious; she never expected everyone to turn around and criticize her.

Even the wives came to persuade her, "Mom, let's forget about this for now. We'll get our revenge when Lao Liu goes out to work."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. He exclaimed, "That's right!"

Anyway, He Yushen does farm work during the day and has to work part-time at night, so he has no time to stay at home.

At that point, wouldn't Sheng Yueqing let her hit him as she pleased?

A calculating glint flashed in her eyes. "Alright, I won't make a scene anymore. You guys go and rest."

Anyway, once He Yushen leaves tomorrow, she's going to give Sheng Yueqing a good beating.

Sheng Yueqing knew what she was thinking, and after returning to her room, she said to He Yushen, "You have to go to work tomorrow, what if your mother bullies me?"
