"How come Zhao Laosan and his gang can still come looking for you? If you don't provoke them anymore, they won't be able to come back," Lin Youfu said angrily.

Lin Xinglong was terrified; he was scared to death.

"That won't do, Dad. I'm not fully recovered yet. What can I do outside? You can't expect me to carry sacks or move bricks. I can't do that." As he spoke, Lin Xinglong grabbed Wu Chunhua. "Mom, look at Dad. He's willing to sacrifice me, his son, for his parents. Am I not his own son?"

Wu Chunhua also felt sorry for Lin Xinglong, "I don't think Xinglong can go out to work either. Zhao Laosan and his gang are no good. Lin Youfu, how could you be so heartless as to gamble with your own son's life? You all deserve to die a horrible death!"

"Xinglong, let's go. Forget about your father. What compensation? We have no money, but you can take my life!"

As she spoke, Wu Chunhua tried to pull Lin Xinglong away.

Lin Youfu cursed, "Wu Chunhua, you've ruined this family and our two children. If it weren't for how you treated Lin Chuan and Xu Chunmai, our family would never have ended up like this. Look at how you've spoiled those two kids; they're useless at everything and eat everything!"

Wu Chunhua turned around and scratched Lin Youfu's face. "Lin Youfu, how dare you blame me? Where do you get the nerve? I'll make sure you lose all your face!"

The two of them started tearing at each other.

Scratching, pulling hair, biting...

Lin Youfu's face was scratched, and Wu Chunhua was kicked to the ground by Lin Youfu.

Lin Youfu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "Wu Chunhua, you woman, you're insane! Do you know that if we don't pay back the money, the house and land will be taken away? We won't even have a place to hide then!"

"Pah!" Wu Chunhua spat. "Lin Youfu, look at you, such a coward, you dare to fight me at home. If anyone comes to take back the house, I'll stay here and see who can kill me!"

Lin Youfu angrily grabbed his hat and went out.

Fu Tongzhou had just gone to Sun Guoling's place to pick up something that Sun Guoling had said he would give to Sun Xiangdong, and he brought it over with him.

Sun Guoling carried some things and said he wanted to give them to Fu Tongzhou.

The two walked towards Fu Tongzhou's house and saw Lin Youfu wearing a hat, his hands tucked into his sleeves, his face covered in injuries, and angrily walking out of the village.

Fu Tongzhou, of course, wouldn't ask Lin Youfu how he was doing.

This situation definitely indicates that Wu Chunhua and another person got into a fight, and it was quite intense.

Sun Guoling asked, "Youfu, what's wrong with you? What are you going to do?"

Lin Youfu stopped, glanced at Fu Tongzhou, and said, "Go out and die."

Sun Guoling frowned. "Lin Youfu, listen to what you're saying!"

Lin Youfu gave a light snort and strode away.

Sun Guoling said, "I don't know what's gotten into them again. The house is noisy every day, there's never a moment of peace."

After packing everything up, Fu Linping drove a donkey cart back to pick up Xu Chunmai and the others so they could go to the bus station together.

On the way, Fu Linping said, "Lin Fugui and Zhou Xiuying were sentenced to eight years in prison and fined 1,800 yuan..."

Upon hearing this, Fu Tongzhou immediately thought of Lin Youfu's face. "No wonder, it must be because of the 1,800 yuan fine that Wu Chunhe and Lin Youfu got into a fight."

Fu Linping, driving the donkey cart, said, "Father, this is a case of evil being punished; they deserve it."

Fu Linping saw the group off onto a bus bound for Xuancheng.

Three hours later, Fu Linchuan met Xu Chunmai and the others at Xuancheng Bus Station.

The group went straight back to Fu Linchuan's newly purchased house.

When Xu Chunmai entered the room, she saw that it was bright and spacious, and clean.

Fu Shuning, a little child, ran from one room to another, looking around with great curiosity.

She ran back, tilted her head back, and hugged Fu Linchuan's leg, "Daddy, is this our new home?"

Fu Linchuan picked up Fu Shuning and kissed her incredibly tender little face. "Yes, this is our new home in Xuancheng. Daddy even saved you a separate room."

Fu Shuning gripped Fu Linchuan's hand tightly. "Dad, can I sleep in my own room?"

"Of course." Fu Linchuan led Fu Shuning into the room on the east side, where large windows let in the morning sunlight.

The room has a kang (heated brick bed), a wardrobe, and a table.

Fu Linchuan also bought two new dolls from the department store and placed them on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"This is what your father saved for you. This will be your room from now on."

Fu Shuning ran to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and looked at the two dolls, one dressed in red and the other in blue. "Daddy, is this for me too?"

"Yes, they're all for my precious daughter."

Fu Shuning climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and waved to Fu Linchuan, "Dad."

Fu Linchuan leaned closer, and Fu Shuning cupped his face in her little hands, giving him a quick kiss. "Daddy, you're so good to me, I love you so much."

Fu Linchuan smiled and pinched Fu Shuning's little cheek, "Daddy loves you the most too."

Fu Shuning, holding the doll, climbed off the kang (a heated brick bed). "But Dad, won't it fall to the floor if I sleep alone?"

Fu Linchuan pointed to the board under the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), "That's why Dad specially added this board for you. You can lift it up when you sleep. This kang is so big, you can roll around as much as you want."

Xu Chunmai walked in carrying Xiao Le'an, saying, "You've really thought this through. This is so practical."

When Xiao Le'an saw Fu Linchuan, she opened her little arms, wanting Fu Linchuan to hug her.

Fu Linchuan reached out and took Xiao Le'an from him, saying, "Le'an has gained weight again."

Xiao Le'an, whether she understood or not, started making "uh-huh" sounds while tugging at Fu Linchuan's finger.

Fu Linchuan chuckled, "My little daughter is chatting with me."

That evening, Fu Linchuan prepared a table full of dishes and poured Fu Tongzhou a glass of wine.

Fu Tongzhou held up his wine glass and smelled it. "It tastes good."

Zheng Yumei laughed and said, "Even if it tastes good, drink less. Let's go help out at the factory tomorrow."

Fu Linchuan laughed and said, "No rush. I've hired a few more people. Father and Mother, you two can stay at home. There's no need to go out of your way."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yumei said, "Then I really won't go. I can stay home and help Chunmai take care of the children, so she can rest more and even read some books in her spare time."

Fu Linchuan nodded, "Alright, Mother, then thank you for your trouble."

Xu Chunmai now feels that she is living a really good life.

In the village, Sun Qiaoling and Liang Yun help with housework and take care of her children.

Now that she's in Xuancheng, her mother-in-law is still helping her.

All of this is because her man is good and capable, which is why she has such a good life.

Zheng Yumei said, "What's so hard about it? This is all I should do. You all have important things to do. I'm just helping out with the kids. Your well-being is what matters most."

As night fell, Fu Shuning went to sleep in a room by herself, still complaining that she was scared.

Later, Zheng Yumei went to sleep with Fu Shuning.

The door to Fu Linchuan and Xu Chunmai's room was tightly closed.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Le'an fell asleep incredibly quickly.

So, when the night is dark and windy, and all is quiet, it is the time when the two newlyweds, separated for so long, feel even more excited than when they were newly married.
