When Mrs. Hu saw Dahu crying and pointing at Chen Afu, she decided that Chen Afu had bullied Dahu. She was so angry that she kicked Chen Afu several times and cursed, "You big fool, why did you hit my Dahu? You are so mean, do you want to make Dahu as stupid as you?"

Soon after, Chen Ye, Chen Ming and others followed in and saw Hu kicking and scolding Chen Afu.

Chen Ye scolded Hu, "You stinky woman, why are you scolding Ah Fu? Ah Fu is not in his right mind, and you are not in your right mind either?"

When Chen Dabao saw Chen Ming coming, he ran over, grabbed his hand and cried loudly, "My mother didn't beat Brother Dahu. It was Aunt Aju who gave my mother pine nut candy. My mother saw that Brother Dahu wanted to eat it, so she gave it to him. But he spit it out as soon as he put it in his mouth, and he cried."

Everyone saw Da Hu's red mouth, and he kept breathing heavily while crying. Then they saw that the candy he spat out on the ground was still covered with chili powder, and they understood what had happened. Chen Aju must have wanted to tease a fool, but she ended up hurting Da Hu instead.

Mrs. Hu didn't think that way. She glared at Chen Ahfu and scolded, "How did a fool know that Da Hu wanted to eat candy? Humph, being stupid is not scary, but being stupid and bad is scary. That can kill people."

Chen Ye blushed and cursed, "I say, you woman, it's obviously Ah Ju who is wrong, why are you scolding Ah Fu?"

Chen Dabao cried again, "Oh, and Aunt Aju gave my mother a bowl of boiling hot water, but she didn't drink it."

Hu continued to defend himself, "What nonsense are you talking about? You haven't even drunk it, so how do you know that the water is boiling hot?"

Chen Dabao didn't say anything, and sobbed softly while hugging Chen Ming's legs. Chen Ahfu was secretly happy in her heart, this son was the best partner, he helped to say everything that needed to be said, and let others figure out what was going on, while she stared at the beams in a daze with a silly look on her face.

Chen Ming and Wang were furious. Although Ah Fu didn't suffer any loss, she was lucky. Her mind was much clearer now. If she was as stupid as before and was really fooled, she would suffer. Wang's eyes were red. She came over and hugged Chen Ah Fu into her arms, while Chen A Lu went over to comfort her sister.

Chen Ming was so angry that his body was shaking. He said, "No matter what the child is like, he is still the treasure of his parents. How can they bear to let others bully him like this? Hey, it's my child who is an eyesore and ugly to you. Anyway, we have kowtowed and given gifts, so let's go home."

Chen Ye quickly advised, "Second brother, how can our brotherhood be disturbed by women and children? Stop being angry." Then he scolded Hu and Chen Aju.

Chen Agui also kept apologizing.

Mrs. Hu frowned and dared not say a word, but Chen Aju felt so wronged that she burst into tears, "She is a fool. We have suffered so much because of her and that wild child, but my father and eldest brother helped them to scold me..."

After hearing this, Chen Ye was so angry that he wanted to hit her, but Chen Alan, who was standing nearby, forcibly dragged Chen Aju away.

Although Old Lady Chen didn't like Chen Ahfu and Chen Dabao, she knew that Chen Ahju was at fault first, and the second son was particularly protective of her. She was grateful to Wang from the bottom of her heart for not only miraculously surviving the second son but also giving birth to a son since Wang married into their family. Besides, Ahju was spoiled, and if she really scalded someone, her reputation would be even worse.

She acted as a peacemaker and advised, "Second brother, it's Aju's fault. She is young and ignorant. Didn't your brother scold her? Why are you still leaving? Don't say such hurtful words, otherwise mother will be unhappy. Don't be angry, it's my birthday party, everyone should be happy, that's my blessing."

Chen Ming didn't really want to go back. He always thought that his elder brother and nephew were good people and wanted to maintain a good relationship between the two families. He didn't know when he would die, so he wanted the eldest wife to help the orphans and widows after his death and lend a hand when they were bullied.

He took a breath and said to Chen Ye and Hu, "We have already separated. Even if our Ah Fu is not smart, she is not ugly enough for our nieces. People will only talk about the daughter of the Chen family in the east of the village. Also, Ah Fu recognized Da Bao as her son. I have explained this to the head of the village and the villagers many times. That is because Ah Fu's situation is special. We don't want her to be wronged when she gets married. We want to set up a female household for her in the future, so we made this decision. Most of the villagers understand and agree with it. It will not affect the major events of our nieces."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she got angry and scolded, "Second uncle, it's easy for you to say that. What villagers all agree with? Who agrees with it? Isn't it just a joke that our Chen family has no rules? If a virgin girl can do something like recognizing her son, what else can't she do? Besides, you only explained it to the people in the village. Do the people from other villages know about it?"

Chen Ming blushed and said, "If any family misunderstands my niece because of Ah Fu and Da Bao, I will go to their house to explain."

Mrs. Hu said, "Second Uncle came to explain, can he explain it well..."

Chen Ye interrupted Hu and cursed, "You are still talking nonsense here. Are you going to attend mother's birthday party?" After that, he helped the old lady and pulled Chen Ming back to the upper room.

Mrs. Hu had no choice but to take Mrs. Gao to the kitchen, saying as they walked, "You keep saying you're going to establish a daughter household, but have you done it? Don't be kidding me."

Wang followed behind Hu and explained, "I, the head of the family, want to set up a daughter household for Afu in a few years. By then, Dabao will be a few years older, and the two of them will be able to live on their own."

Hu snorted coldly and ignored Wang.

During the meal, Chen Aju was angry and didn't come to the upper room to eat.

The old lady led her two sons and eldest grandson Chen Agui to eat at the kang table, while the others ate at the large table on the ground.

The table on the kang was very lively, with people talking about everything. Especially when they talked about the third brother Chen Shi's business, which was getting better and better, and now he had the money to buy a small courtyard with a shop in the capital, they were all proud of it and laughed a lot more happily.

Chen Shi often brought money and gifts to Old Lady Chen and the first wife, but he would never forget the second wife. The whole family had a good impression of him.

The table downstairs was not very friendly. Chen Dahu and Chen Daya were very disgusted and kept away from Chen Afu. Even though Chen Alan was smiling, it was obvious that she didn't like being near her. Chen Afu didn't care. Wang sat on his left, and Dabao and Afu sat on his right.

Although they were all farmhouse dishes, they were quite rich, with five vegetarian dishes and four meat dishes, symbolizing longevity. Although some of the meat dishes were just a few slices of meat, they still had the aroma of meat. Moreover, several dishes were fried with oil, not the stews we eat at home. Chen Ahfu couldn't help drooling at the smell, and she quickly wiped it with the handkerchief on her chest.

Chen Dahu still saw Chen Afu drooling and said, "Look, she is drooling again." He was afraid that his father would hear and beat him, so he cleverly lowered his voice.

Chen Afu rolled her eyes in anger, and her anger also made her eyelids more flexible.

Chen Daya added, "Hey, she can roll her eyes."

Gao was busy protecting the two children and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful or your father will hear you and beat you again."

Hu glared at Gao and said, "You are a fool to begin with, and you don't deserve to be told off."
