These words left the second son's wife speechless. She wanted to argue a little more, but Chunsheng had already stood up, obviously unwilling to talk anymore. She had no choice but to leave in a huff. Before leaving, she didn't forget to glare at Chunsheng's wife fiercely, as if all this was her fault.

Chunsheng's wife looked at the second son's wife as she left and shook her head slightly. This second son's wife was such a troublemaker. Whenever she showed up, nothing good could happen. Back home, the family hadn't been divided. If there was anything new in the house, it would be taken or stolen within a few days. She would just disappear for no apparent reason. This was because her husband always accused her of being a poor housekeeper.

That was how my second brother and his wife were back then. They simply weren't focused on living their lives. After the family split up, they both worked to earn money, and now life is better for us. So now, if we can avoid my second brother's family, we try to stay as far away from them as possible.

Although Chunsheng's wife was upset, she maintained a gentle and calm demeanor. She whispered to her husband, Chunsheng, "For over a decade, things have been going well. Now you need to think clearly about your bottom line. Don't let your heart soften just because your second brother complains about poverty. It's not like we didn't help his mother-in-law's family with their housing problem before. It's because his mother-in-law's family is dishonest, stealing clothes or using soap. That's why they were driven away. So, if you're soft-hearted now, you're just indulging them."

Chunsheng nodded, a tired yet determined glint in his eyes. "Yeah, people have to learn to grow on their own and can't always rely on others. Lao Er's mother-in-law is no pushover. Look, even if this thing ends like this, there's definitely going to be something else in a few days. Back when we were back home, Lao Er's wife was always looking after her family. We had a lot of arguments over these things over the years. Now I think about how foolish I was back then."

When Chunsheng's wife heard her husband say this, she immediately laughed.

"Who doesn't have brothers and sisters? I understand how you feel. No one wants to think of their relatives as bad people. There's really nothing we can do about my second brother's mother-in-law. Let's just be on guard against her." After saying that, she turned and went into the house to cook.

Chunsheng followed his wife into the kitchen to help cook. They had lived here for more than ten years and were very familiar with the appliances. While cooking, Chunsheng said, "I'll go to the supermarket to buy some hairy crabs after get off work tomorrow. Mom loves them. You can take the kids to grandma's house directly after get off work."

Chunsheng's wife was so happy when she heard her husband say that they were going to her parents' home. She smiled and nodded repeatedly in agreement. The two of them cooked happily while waiting for the children to come home from school.

The atmosphere at Chunwang's home was anything but cheerful and sweet. The room was thick with smoke from cigarettes, and a plump, serious-looking old lady sat on the sofa. Needless to say, this old lady was Chunwang's mother-in-law, Li Haiyan.

When Mr. Li first entered the space, Li Haiyan ignored everyone's rumors that the old man's last name was Li and flattered him by trying to establish a relationship with him. At that time, because Mr. Li was a newcomer to the space, no one knew each other. However, he had heard about Chunsheng's name from Jiang Huashu, and he had a good impression of Chunsheng.

So when Chunwang's mother-in-law came up to establish a relationship, they actually had a chat. As a result, after tracing back four generations, they found out that the two Lis did not have the same origin, and they were certainly not from under the big locust tree in Shanxi.
