Jiang Hehu didn't expect that their grandmother would try to steal their older sisters' food. After realizing what was happening, they all stood in front of their two older sisters.

Shui Qing narrowed her eyes; her knowledge had been completely refreshed.

Fan Jin rarely refused outright: "No, since we've separated our families, we're now two separate families. My elder brother's family is my elder brother's family, and my family is my family."

If my nephews don't have enough food, they can buy it themselves or ask my sister-in-law's family to buy it for them, but they can't give them food that belongs to my daughter.

Mother Fan never imagined that her usually refined and gentle second son would utter such words that offended her. Her old face turned a deep shade of purple, and her finger trembled as she pointed at Fan Jin, stammering, "You...you..."

Fan Jin's eyes were sharp as he said, word by word, "After the old village chief dealt with the matter of my sister-in-law pushing Xing Hui last time, I had no objection, but Mother should understand that I hate her to the core!"

If Mother continues to harm my children for the sake of my elder brother's family, then I will have no choice but to write a letter severing ties with her and send it to her.

Shui Qing's two daughters, whom she held in her arms, trembled slightly.

Father had never mentioned this matter, and the old village chief's punishment was fair and just, so they always thought Father didn't care.

Unexpectedly, Father just kept quiet.

Mother Fan's eyes widened in shock, and she was speechless for a long time.

Then she said fiercely, "You, your mother isn't dead yet! And you want to sever ties with me? Aren't you afraid that I'll go to the authorities and accuse you of being unfilial and disrespectful to your elders!"

“I’m not afraid. I thought that after the land was divided and we moved away from the old house, we would be able to have some peace and quiet. First, my sister-in-law pushed the stars back down the mountain, and today my mother came again to ask for food for my children.

"If we continue to live like this, even if my mother goes to the government office to sue me, I will sever all ties with my family." Fan Jin spoke bluntly, his refined and gentle fair face now carrying a chilling aura.

Mother Fan took a step back, as if only now realizing that her second son had grown up and was no longer the child she could control.

She was a little annoyed, but more flustered, and cried out, "You actually took my words seriously? I raised you with my own hands and feet, and I love you so much that I would never bear to go to the authorities to sue you."

You heartless wretch! You've forgotten your mother now that you have a wife. It breaks her heart! Your words are like a knife cutting into her heart.

Fan Jin sighed helplessly.

Shuiqing thought to herself that it was fortunate that this was Fan Jin's mother, not her own mother, otherwise, her shrewishness and difficulty would be quite exhausting.

Then it occurred to me that having a mother-in-law like this isn't much better than having one's own mother...

Mother Fan wailed for a while, but seeing that her second son was unmoved, she knew that this trick was useless.

She wiped away her tears, her face filled with sorrow as she thought of them, "Mother will go feed the chickens for you. If the chickens are well raised, my son and my dear grandson can eat more eggs to nourish their bodies."

Shuiqing: ...So, all you're saying is that my chickens lay eggs because my mother-in-law feeds them this one meal?

Seeing that his mother had calmed down, Fan Jin came over and looked apologetically at Shui Qing and his two daughters: "My mother can't change, don't take it to heart. Let's live our lives well as a family from now on."

Shui Qing didn't take it to heart.

Most women who are angered by their mothers-in-law are doing so because their husbands are inactive and only side with their mothers-in-law, forcing their wives to be tolerant.

If someone handled things the way Fan Jin did, what's there to be angry about? He was doing everything he could to protect the situation.

Just as Yan Qiuxing was about to reply that they hadn't taken it to heart, she heard a scream from Fan's mother coming from the chicken coop.

The seven people were startled.

After exchanging glances, Fan Jiang asked first, "Has something happened to Grandma?"
