Well, as long as it doesn't cause any major problems, they can handle minor frictions themselves.

After they left, Sister-in-law Sheng handed the money to Ruan Yunxi, saying, "How could I possibly take yours?"

"Everyone who sees it gets a share, it's free!" Ruan Yunxi didn't care about the money, but she knew that her sisters-in-law did.

Little Cherry and her friends were delighted with the money, but they felt embarrassed when their mother refused it.

To persuade them to accept the gift, Ruan Yunxi said, "If you feel bad about it, please help me tidy up the vegetable garden and flower pots. You know, I've never done this kind of work before."

Without hesitation, Sister-in-law Sheng agreed and helped clean up the damaged vegetable garden and flower trellis. She also filled in the ground that had been smashed by the hammer, and cleaned up the yard. She did all the work that Ruan Yunxi had done in three days.

Feeling bad about taking fifteen yuan from Ruan Yunxi, Sister-in-law Sheng set her sights on the rooster in the house. A moment later, the rooster let out a miserable cry: "We're having chicken tonight!"

Little Cherry didn't send anyone out to invite us to dinner: "Auntie, Auntie, come to my house for meat tonight, we'll have a big rooster, cluck cluck, it smells so good!"

Ruan Yunxi was surprised that Sister-in-law Sheng was so polite, even killing the family's rooster.

Since the chicken has been killed, we definitely have to eat this meal.

When Gu Weizhou and Regiment Commander Sheng returned from training, they encountered several women who immediately complained to him: "Your wife took five yuan from us. That's all the allowance we have. We're afraid we'll go hungry in the future."

The meaning is clear: let Gu Weizhou fill in the gap.

Gu Weizhou wasn't stupid. He asked, "Why is my wife taking your money?"

"She...she's trying to extort money!" The women didn't dare say anything, afraid of losing face.

Gu Weizhou found it amusing: "Why does my wife extort you instead of others? Did you cause trouble for my wife and offend her, so she wants you to compensate her? After you compensated her, you felt unsatisfied and came to me for redemption. Do you think I'm easy to fool or brainless?"

"I'm telling you this now: if you cause any more trouble for my wife, just because I don't hit women doesn't mean I won't hit men!" Gu Weizhou remembered every single one of them.

The next day, Gu Weizhou harassed the men during training and abused them.

When he got home, he immediately scolded his wife and then made her apply medicine to his wounds, which made him wince in pain.

When the sisters-in-law saw that their husbands were covered in bruises, they were furious, but they didn't dare to cause trouble for Ruan Yunxi, fearing that Gu Weizhou, who was protective of his own, would beat their husbands up again.

This is even more painful than being hit on them.

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Back home, Gu Weizhou asked, "Did those women give you trouble?"

Ruan Yunxi nodded: "Don't worry, I didn't lose out. In fact, I made them bleed a lot. With this money, we'll buy more meat next time and make them furious!"

Gu Weizhou affectionately pinched her cheek: "My wife is amazing, following her means you'll always have something to eat!"

Ruan Yunxi smiled smugly.

After the young couple had been cuddling for a while, their siblings, Little Potato and Little Cherry, came running to call them downstairs to eat stewed rooster and mushrooms.

Gu Weizhou was curious as to why he had invited them to dinner.

When Ruan Yunxi explained the reason, Gu Weizhou was quite grateful. At least when those people were bullying his wife, there was someone protecting her.

Besides the rooster, there were also potstickers and a bowl of rice. Knowing that Ruan Yunxi didn't like eating pancakes, Sister-in-law Sheng specially steamed a bowl of rice for her, the kind that Ruan Yunxi couldn't finish. Fortunately, Gu Weizhou helped out.

The stewed rooster is well-seasoned, with firm meat and a delicious flavor.

Sister-in-law Sheng put a big chicken leg on Ruan Yunxi's plate, one on Xiao Yingtao's plate, and a chicken wing on Xiao Tudou's plate. They all got to eat the chicken leg.

Ruan Yunxi wasn't embarrassed at all; chicken legs were delicious, and she loved them.

The rooster stewed in an iron pot tasted really good; it had a different texture than poached chicken.

It was so delicious that she ate the whole chicken leg.

The chicken bones were given to the dog that was already waiting at the door. It belonged to someone else's wife and came to eat the bones because it smelled the chicken.

These days, people don't eat much meat, let alone dogs.

Looking at the skinny mongrel dog, Ruan Yunxi threw a chicken bone over.

Gu Weizhou then had a drink with Commander Sheng. Commander Sheng took out his treasured Moutai with the iron cap that he was reluctant to drink and shared a drink with Gu Weizhou. It was clear that they were in good spirits.
