When I pushed open the Lu family's door, a smell of gunpowder hit me in the face, even louder than the village loudspeaker calling people to a meeting.

Before Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing could even stand still, they heard their uncle's roar, which was comparable to a lion's roar: "Why?! I'm the boss! What's wrong with getting a bigger share?!"

In the main room, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were like two fighting cocks, with red faces, thick necks, and saliva flying everywhere.

The second uncle was not to be outdone. He pointed at the eldest uncle's nose and retorted: "You think you're so great as the eldest? I've done a lot of work, so why do you get to eat more and take more?"

Shen Qiqi held her forehead with her hand. This scene was simply a live broadcast of a large-scale disaster.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself smiling: "Uncle, Second Uncle, if you have something to say, please talk nicely and don't hurt the harmony."

"Peaceful? What peace?" The uncle glared at me with eyes as big as copper bells, as if he wanted to eat me. "Third daughter-in-law, stop pretending to be a good person! This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Second uncle also chimed in: "That's right! You're a newcomer, what do you know?!"

Shen Qiqi and Lu Qing looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

This Lu family's family ethics drama really has new twists every day.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Shen Qiqi clapped her hands, trying to control the situation. "The arguing is giving me a headache! Everyone, go to the yard and have a family meeting!"

Although everyone was reluctant, they still moved to the yard reluctantly.

Shen Qiqi stood in the middle of the yard, looked around, and cleared her throat: "Let me say a few words about what happened today."

The uncle snorted coldly and rolled his eyes, obviously not taking her seriously.

Second uncle also crossed his arms, looking disdainful.

Shen Qiqi didn't get annoyed and continued, "Uncle, you said you are the eldest and it's only right that you get more. Then tell me, what have you done more than Second Uncle?"

The uncle stuck his neck out and hesitated for a long time, but couldn't make any clear explanation.

As soon as the second uncle saw the opportunity, he jumped out and said, "That's right! Boss, tell me about it!"

"I...I..." The uncle was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and his eyes were wandering.

Shen Qiqi sneered in her heart. It seemed that this uncle was just relying on his status as an elder to bully others.

"Second uncle, the same goes for you." Shen Qiqi turned to the second uncle, "You said you contributed a lot, so what exactly did you do?"

Second uncle also began to stutter and his eyes were evasive.

Shen Qiqi sighed in her heart, these two people are really the same.

"Alright, stop talking." Shen Qiqi interrupted them, "Since you can't explain it clearly, then..."

Before Shen Qiqi finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly interrupted: "Third wife, who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in our family's affairs?!"

Old Mrs. Lu walked out tremblingly, leaning on a cane. Her wrinkled face was twisted into a ball, like a dried bitter gourd.

"Third brother's wife, who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in our family's affairs?!" The old lady's sharp voice was as piercing as a broken gong, making Shen Qiqi's eardrums buzz.

"Mom, don't be angry. Qiqi also wants to help everyone solve the problem." Lu Qing hurried forward to support the old lady and comforted her softly.

"Solve the problem? What does she know?!" The old lady knocked the ground with her crutch, making a dull "bang" sound, which scared several chickens in the yard and made them flap their wings and run away.

"She's just a new daughter-in-law, barely even grown, and yet she dares to boss around our Lu family! This is outrageous!"

The old lady's saliva sprayed at Shen Qiqi like a machine gun, and every word was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart fiercely.

Shen Qiqi bit her lip and endured it all silently.

She knew that in this era, a new daughter-in-law had no say, especially when facing a strong mother-in-law, she had to swallow her anger.

Feelings of grievance surged into her heart like a tide, but she tried hard to restrain herself and not let herself cry.

A warm big hand wrapped around Shen Qiqi's cold little hand. Lu Qing held her hand tightly, giving her silent support.

He looked at Shen Qiqi with deep eyes. Shen Qiqi felt the power he transmitted, and a warm current surged in her heart.

She knew that no matter what happened, Lu Qing would stand by her and be her strongest support.

"Mom, Qiqi also means well..." Lu Qing wanted to persuade her again, but was rudely interrupted by the old lady.

"Good intentions? I don't think she has good intentions!" The old lady glared at Shen Qiqi, her eyes full of hostility, "You married a wife and forgot your mother. You're so ungrateful! I raised you as a son in vain!"

"Mom, you misunderstood..." Lu Qing was speechless.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and tried to calm her surging emotions.

She knew that now was not the time to argue, and the more she explained, the worse it would get.

She raised her head and met the old woman's hostile gaze, her eyes gleaming with determination.

She will not be intimidated by the old lady's strength, nor will she give up defending her own rights.

At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from the crowd: "Hey, Third Aunt, you want to be fair? Don't you even look at your own weight?"

The voice was sharp and harsh, like nails scratching a blackboard. Shen Qiqi knew without turning around that it must be the cousin of the Lu family who "would tear off the tiles if not punished for three days".

He stood in the crowd with a grin that deserved a beating on his face, looking like a weasel that had stolen a chicken, and was extremely proud of himself.

"Cousin, what are you trying to do?" Lu Qing frowned, his tone filled with a hint of impatience.

This cousin has liked to go against him since he was a child and is simply a stumbling block in his life.

"How dare I make a fuss, Third Uncle?" Lu Qing's cousin said sarcastically, "I just feel that when it comes to dividing the family property, how can our branch be left out? We get up early and go to bed late every day, working in the fields to make a living. Why should we get the same amount as you?"
