"Hey, hey, hey, hurry up, the Gu family is making a scene."

"What? Why is the Gu family making a scene?"

Everyone in the Gu family dotes on Gu Baobao. Whether it's her parents, brothers, uncles, cousins, or other relatives, they all adore her.

Even if one or two people have some complaints, they will be suppressed and no one will cause any trouble.

Unexpectedly, a major drama unfolded at the Gu family today; the Gu family really started making a scene.

Chen Suwen also became interested and, along with her daughter-in-law and two daughters, followed the villagers to the Gu family's house to watch the excitement.

When Chen Su asked, the Gu family had already been surrounded by a large crowd watching the show, and there was quite a commotion inside.

"What's going on? Why is the Gu family making a scene?"

Some onlookers, unaware of the background, couldn't help but ask the people around them if they knew what was going on.

"What else could it be? Isn't it because the Gu family dotes on that Gu baby, and the Gu family's daughter-in-law is unhappy about it?"

"Huh? Gu Baobao has been pampered since she was a child. Didn't the Gu family know that before their daughter-in-law married into the family?"

"They knew, but they probably didn't expect the Gu family to go this far, did they?"

"What's excessive? Where is it excessive? Explain in detail?"

Chen Suwen also became interested.

Gu Baobao, being the darling of the family, is naturally the envy of others. They also want their whole family to pamper them and favor them.

If you put yourself in Gu Baobao's shoes, you would naturally want everyone to pamper you.

But if you put yourself in Gu Baobao's aunts, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law's shoes, who would want their man or son to favor someone else?

Humans are all hypocritical.

Chen Suwen's reasoning is understandable.

She was very curious about how the Gu family had started making a scene this time.

"It seems that it's because Gu Baobao wants the Gu family to build her a house, and she wants to marry Qin Zhiqing."

"What? Build a house for Gu Baobao? Really? Is it a house built just for her?"

"Could it be that Qin Zhiqing is going to become a live-in son-in-law and move into the Gu family? Otherwise, why would Gu Baobao need to build a house?"

"With Qin Zhiqing's background, could he become a live-in son-in-law?"

"Really, no. If the Qin family knew that Qin Zhiqing had become a live-in son-in-law, wouldn't they come all the way from Beijing to beat him up?"

Beijing isn't far from their Shandong province. If Qin Zhiqing really marries into another family, the Qin family might actually come over and teach this shameful son a lesson.

The surrounding neighbors were talking amongst themselves, while the family members inside continued to make a scene.

“If you’re not happy, go back to your parents’ home. If you don’t want to stay here, then don’t stay here,” Wang Hongmei angrily yelled at her daughter-in-law.

She hadn't expected that before she could even say anything, her daughter-in-law would challenge her authority.

Her baby is the family's darling, and it's obvious to everyone that the whole family dotes on her.

Why make a fuss at a time like this?

Didn't we already know they were family-oriented and doted on their daughter?

If I had known this beforehand, why did I marry into this family? What's all this fuss about now?

"So what if it's nothing? Who cares about your family background?"

"You Gu family cherish this daughter so much, why don't you get a wife for her?" Wang Hongmei's eldest daughter-in-law angrily pointed at her husband and cursed, but she didn't dare to point at Wang Hongmei, who was still her mother-in-law.

"They used sweet words to deceive me, saying they would treat me well, and that a man who loves his sister would also love his wife."

"Pah! What a load of crap! He gives all the good things to his sister-in-law, while his own wife is starving and freezing, and now she has to take care of her sister-in-law during her postpartum period!"

"Do you know how I've lived all these years?" Wang Hongmei's eldest daughter-in-law said to the onlookers.

"As the eldest sister-in-law, I'm seven or eight months pregnant and still have to do laundry and cook for my sister-in-law, who is perfectly capable and doesn't do anything. Is this reasonable?"

“I’m still in my postpartum confinement period after giving birth, but I have to go out to work and wash my sister-in-law’s clothes. I wash all of her baby clothes!”

"Am I a slave bought by your Gu family?" Wang Hongmei's eldest daughter-in-law roared angrily, accusing the various injustices she had suffered since marrying into the family.

"Don't make it sound like you're the one who's wronged. Which woman doesn't work while pregnant? I had so many babies, and I was working in the fields too!"

“I gave birth to my son in the field, did I say anything?” Wang Hongmei retorted to her daughter-in-law.

Aren't all women in the countryside like this?

Whether you're pregnant or giving birth, don't you still have to work?

Postpartum confinement?

Being able to have a postpartum period is considered a blessing. If it happens to be the busy farming season, many women go back to work in the fields the day after giving birth.

Why are there so many rules?

"What are you being so dramatic about? Our family has been good enough to you. You wash the baby's clothes and cook for the baby, but don't you have to wash your own clothes too? Don't you eat the food you cook for yourself?"

"Since you married into the family, when has the baby ever not eaten any of the pheasants, rabbits, fish, shrimp, or crabs he catches?"

"Now you're criticizing the baby, but why didn't you say anything bad about the baby when you were eating meat?" Wang Hongmei couldn't stand her daughter-in-law criticizing her daughter and couldn't accept her ungrateful behavior.

Wang Hongmei's eldest daughter-in-law, however, couldn't listen to anything her mother-in-law was saying; she had long since lost control of her resentment towards her sister-in-law.

"I can overlook everything else, but she's about to get married, and you still want to build her a house!"

"And what about us? As the son and daughter-in-law, we're all crammed into one room, while my sister-in-law has her own spacious room, and no one is allowed to covet it."

"Now we have to pay for building her a house! Build a house, fine, I thought it was just adding two more rooms!"
