The two smiled at each other. At noon, when Huang Xiaoqiang came to ask Grandma Wu to come home for lunch, the village secretary and his wife held him down and insisted on making him a bowl of noodles.

Huang Xiaoqiang patted his stomach and said, "Aunt Cuifen, your stir-fried egg sauce is really delicious."

Gou Cuifen is quite familiar with Huang Xiaoqiang, and she often spends time with her son Tie Niu; the two get along quite well.

"It's delicious, so I'll come here often with Tie Niu."

Huang Xiaoqiang smiled sheepishly.

Tie Niu chimed in, "Xiao Qiang, I'll come to your house this afternoon!"

Huang Xiaoqiang scratched the back of his head. "Okay."

Two young people were talking enthusiastically on the side, while two older people were also talking quietly on the side, with Grandma Wu talking the most.

"Don't worry, Sister Cuifen. I know you two are good people and you remember all the kindness you've shown me."

Gou Cuifen nodded. She had known Old Lady Wu for quite some time and knew her character to a certain extent.

"I know."

The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Watching the mother and son walk away, Gou Cuifen slapped the village secretary hard, saying, "See if you'll ever speak so recklessly again!"

The village party secretary obediently admitted to being hit; he had misspoke today.

Fortunately, Old Lady Wu is smart and discreet; if it were any of the village's most talkative people, he would have lost his position as village secretary.

Tie Niu wasn't surprised; his parents often bickered, and he was used to it.

Grandma Wu, who had already returned home, took out the letter that Guo Zhixia had sent her and looked worried.

In the letter, Guo Zhixia first asked her how she was doing here, and then talked about her recent troubles.

Factory Director Jia's family was relatively peaceful, but his sister Jia Hua's family was in complete chaos.

Since Miao Fengying returned to the Qiao family, she has been instigating Qiao Zhenjun to go home every day demanding money. If he doesn't get it, he makes a scene, turning the Qiao family upside down.

That's not all. What's even more outrageous is that Jia Hua's husband, Qiao Jianguo, was keeping a mistress outside the home, and Jia Hua caught him red-handed at home.

Old Mrs. Wu found it hard to believe that Qiao Jianguo had such a big belly.

The letter did not specify who this concubine was.

In the end of the letter, Guo Zhixia complained about Jia Hua, who was causing chaos in her husband's family and fighting fiercely with Qiao Jianguo.

They even went to Director Jia's house, going home every day to ask him to stand up for them.

After reading the entire letter, Old Mrs. Wu's face turned somber. The letter described how Jia Hua had caused such a huge uproar, and it must have become common knowledge.

Given the current situation, if someone has problems with their personal conduct, they're likely to get into trouble.

The less serious cases involve leaving the factory, while the more serious cases likely involve being reassigned for reform.

Jia Hua has made such a scene, coming home every day asking Director Jia to stand up for her. If someone with ulterior motives seizes this opportunity, it could implicate Guo Zhixia's entire family.

Based on the date the envelope arrived and the village secretary's notification to those to be sent down after the New Year, Old Lady Wu felt heavy-hearted.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking it, I shook my head.

Jia Hua, far away in Changping City, glared angrily at Qiao Jianguo, who was hanging his head and remaining silent. "Say something! Is what that woman said true or not?"

Qiao Jianguo's mouth was frozen shut; he couldn't utter a single word.

Miao Fengying, heavily pregnant, looked at the heartbroken Jia Hua with schadenfreude. "What goes around comes around," she thought, "this year, who will suffer the consequences?"

Qiao Zhenjun tried to pull his mother, who was on the verge of madness, but before he could even reach out, Jia Hua pounced on him and slapped him hard across the face.

"You have no conscience, Qiao Jianguo! Not only do you have affairs outside, but you also gave birth to a deadbeat son!"

Qiao Jianguo remained silent, only covering his face tightly.

Exhausted from screaming, Jia Hua collapsed to the ground, wailing weakly.

Miao Fengying had seen enough of the commotion and Jia Hua's ridiculous behavior. She stood up, supporting her back, and said, "Mom...why bother? What's the point of making a scene now that things have already been done?"

Jia Hua slowly stopped crying, then glared fiercely at Miao Fengying, whose smile was undisguised, and said, "Get out!"

"You're also a whore who's been ridden by a thousand men and slept with by ten thousand!"

"I don't even know which man planted the bastard in your belly. You and that woman are cut from the same cloth. It's only because my son's eyes are blinded by shit that he can even look at a piece of stinking dog shit like you."

"You!" Miao Fengying's face turned pale and then red.

But Jia Hua didn't stop talking, "After the banquet, didn't you take your bitch mother to find some other man? What? He didn't want you? So you had to slink back to that idiot Qiao Zhenjun?"

Jia Hua has gone mad; she's shooting indiscriminately and even cursing her own son.

Not satisfied with just cursing, once she calmed down, she jumped up, raised her hand and scratched hard twice, rubbing the flesh under her fingernails, letting out all the anger and resentment in her heart.

Jia Hua moved too quickly.

Miao Fengying was too heavy to dodge in time.

Qiao Zhenjun was stunned by this scene and stood there dumbfounded.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!”

A sharp, piercing scream rang out from Miao Fengying's mouth, and Qiao Zhenjun finally reacted and quickly looked at Miao Fengying.

"Are you... alright...?"

After speaking haltingly, his gaze lingered between Jia Hua and Miao Fengying.

Crimson blood seeped from between Miao Fengying's fingers, and she covered her face tightly.

A cold glint appeared on Jia Hua's face. She turned her head to continue settling scores with Qiao Jianguo, but he had already disappeared.

Miao Fengying also lashed out at Qiao Zhenjun, yelling at him to take her to the hospital.

In a short while, only Jia Hua remained in the Qiao family, crying and laughing at the same time, her expression bleak.

She bore him children, took care of the household chores, and kept everything in perfect order, so what could he possibly be dissatisfied with? Why did he treat her like this?

No!

no!

We absolutely cannot let that adulterous couple live happily ever after.

If they're not having a good time, they shouldn't expect to be comfortable either.

She wiped away her tears and rushed out the door.

While Jia Hua and her daughter-in-law were fighting, Qiao Jianguo secretly left through the back door, covering his face.

Although she was covering her face, Jia Hua was furious and started hitting her relentlessly, regardless of where she was. She could cover one side, but not another.

His face was still swollen in all sorts of ways, and one of his eyes was so swollen that it was reduced to a slit.

We had just arrived at the back door of a house.

A woman with disheveled hair stumbled out of the door. Upon closer inspection, her pupils contracted as she recognized the woman's face. Just as she was about to leave, her trouser leg was grabbed.

"Jianguo, is it...is it you?"

The man in the courtyard seemed to see the woman pulling at him; his face instantly darkened, and he strode towards them.

Qiao Jianguo's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to kick away the woman who was clinging to him tightly, but the woman at his feet seemed to be holding onto a lifeline and refused to let go no matter how much Qiao Jianguo kicked and punched her.

The intermittent sounds coming from below caused Qiao Jianguo's expression to change drastically, and the man who followed him also had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.
