Zhou Jianhua turned his head away with great reluctance, and refused to say hello to Sheng An Ning.

Niu Chunying was so angry that she hit Zhou Jianhua again: "You stupid kid, what's wrong with you? Hurry up and call for help."

Although Sheng An Ning didn't know what was going on, she knew that forcing a teenager to do something he didn't want to do would easily make him rebellious: "It's okay, it's okay if you don't shout."

Niu Chunying was not happy: "This kid really deserves a beating. He was so happy to hear your second uncle coming back along the way, but now he is dumb when he sees your second aunt?"

Zhou Shixun frowned and stopped Niu Chunying from scolding the child: "Go and rest first."

Niu Chunying reached out and twisted Zhou Jianhua's ears, forcing Zhou Jianhua, who was taller than her, to lower his head and struggle with a grin.

"You little bastard, you've become so capable. Let's go home."

Niu Chunying went home scolding and pulling her eldest son's ear.

Zhou Jianhua was naturally unconvinced, and turned his head to look at Sheng Anning hatefully, cursing in a low voice: "Dog spy."

Niu Chunying punched him again: "Who are you scolding? Now you are more capable."

Sheng An Ning was a little amused and helpless. Although she didn't know how she had offended Zhou Jianhua, where did the infamy of this dog spy come from?

Zhou Shixun felt a little apologetic: "I'll talk to him later."

Sheng An Ning didn't care: "It's okay, I just wonder why he is hostile to me? I don't think I have seen him?"

Zhou Shixun was also surprised. After all, Zhou Jianhua had never seen Sheng An Ning, nor had he seen the previous Sheng An Ning.

Sheng An Ning didn't care. She felt a little tired standing in the yard, so she simply turned around and went back to lie down on the kang.

Zhou Shixun did not go in. He stood in the yard for a while. After Niu Chunying had dealt with Zhou Jianhua, he went over and called him to come out. The two of them walked out of the village.

Fifteen-year-old Zhou Jianhua is 1.7 meters tall, but as thin as a stick. He follows Zhou Shixun with his head hung.

Zhou Shixun did not speak until he reached the edge of the mountain outside the village. He turned his head and looked at Zhou Jianhua: "Why are you hostile to her?"

Zhou Jianhua stiffened his neck and said, "Second Uncle, she is so pretty, she must be a spy sent by the enemy to confuse you."

Zhou Shixun frowned: "What a mess, speak properly."

Zhou Jianhua was not convinced: "You are obviously in a good relationship with Aunt Caixia, why don't you marry her? Why do you have to marry the city goblin?"

Zhou Shixun was a little angry, and his tone became more serious: "What does it have to do with Luo Caixia? Speak nicely, and she is your second aunt now, not a spy or a goblin."

Zhou Jianhua felt even more aggrieved: "Then why do the villagers say that you and Aunt Caixia are dating? Aunt Caixia cried many times secretly when she knew you were getting married. She is so nice, but you don't marry her. And the villagers say you are Chen Shimei."

Speaking of Chen Shimei, Zhou Jianhua's eyes turned red. If Sheng Anning was not a spy, how could his second uncle bear the infamy of Chen Shimei.

His wise and brave second uncle cannot have even the slightest stain on him.

Zhou Shixun frowned. He was unwilling to explain something that had not happened. He also believed that rumors stopped at wise people. Now it seemed more serious than he thought: "Who told you that Luo Caixia and I were dating?"

Zhou Jianhua looked at his second uncle in disbelief. He didn’t even admit this now?

Think about the tears Aunt Caixia shed, and how she waited for Second Uncle for so many years, and always sent something delicious home, but Second Uncle refused to even acknowledge her for the sake of that woman.

She turned her head away stubbornly, not looking at Zhou Shixun and refusing to answer his questions.

Only then did Zhou Shixun feel that the matter needed to be explained clearly. He didn't care, but he couldn't let Sheng An Ning bear the infamy for no reason.

On the way back, he met his third uncle going up the mountain to collect firewood. Zhou Shixun asked Zhou Jianhua to go back first while he helped his third uncle collect firewood.

Sheng An Ning lay there for a while but still couldn't fall asleep. When she turned over and prepared to get up, she heard Niu Chunying shouting loudly, "Second brother's wife, are you asleep?"

Sheng An Ning responded and got up to open the door.

Niu Chunying came in with a plate of peanuts, melon seeds and red dates: "I brought these back from my mother's house. I'll give you some. There's nothing good in the countryside."

Sheng Anning politely let Niu Chunying into the house.

Niu Chunying was not shy and sat down on the kang with a plate in her arms. "A few days ago, my mother said you guys were coming back, but I didn't believe it. If I had known you guys were coming back yesterday, I wouldn't have gone to the wedding."

Sheng An Ning didn't know how to respond: "It doesn't matter. We're not in a hurry to leave."

Niu Chunying thought about it, but couldn't help but said, "I heard that you guys are coming back to split up the family this time?"

Sheng Anning nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."

Niu Chunying was a little envious: "It's good to separate the family, but you will live in the city in the future, so it doesn't matter whether you separate the family or not. You will live on your own anyway."

Unlike them, who are all in the same pot every day, no one dares to mention the separation.

Although Niu Chunying is a bit aggressive, she doesn't dare to mention dividing the family because Zhou Changlin feels deep down that since he is the eldest son, he should live with his parents and his parents should be in charge of the family's earnings.

As for the third brother's family, Zhou Changyun was lazy and gluttonous. He would take advantage of others every day and never suffer any loss. He got the least work points every year, so naturally he got less food too. Therefore, his family was unwilling to divide up.

Sheng Anning didn't quite understand Zhou Shixun's purpose of splitting up the family. She just listened to Niu Chunying with a smile and didn't express any opinions.

Niu Chunying chatted for a while and then went out to prepare dinner.

Sheng An Ning had nothing to do, so she picked up the dirty clothes and took them to the well to wash.

After Zhou Jianhua came back, he sat in the room angrily and told his two younger brothers who were playing cards on the table: "You can't call that woman Second Aunt. Think about how good Aunt Caixia is to us."

The two younger ones didn't have so many thoughts: "But she is the second aunt."

Zhou Jianhua glared: "If I say no, then no, if you call her Second Aunt, you are a traitor!"

The two little ones were silent for a moment, no one wanted to be a traitor!

Zhou Jianhua saw Sheng An Ning washing clothes through the window and suddenly had a bad idea. He went to the inner room, picked up the calico cat that was sleeping on the kang, took down the firecrackers that had not been set off during the New Year from the top of the cabinet, and tied them to the cat's tail.

He opened the door a little, squatted down, let the cat face Sheng An Ning, and lit firecrackers.

When the firecrackers went off, the cat was frightened and ran away screaming towards Sheng An Ning.

Sheng An Ning just squatted down and was startled by the sound of firecrackers. Before he could react, he saw a cat rushing towards him. He had no time to dodge and fell to the ground.

Zhou Jianhua and his two younger brothers were standing at the door laughing.

Sheng An Ning was instantly furious. If she had the guts, she could just bully her. What was the point of bullying a cat?

He got up and rushed over, pulling Zhou Jianhua out: "Go! Bring that cat back and apologize! Otherwise, come out and fight me in a one-on-one duel!"

Niu Chunying came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise. She was so angry that she came over with a rolling pin and was about to hit him: "You bastard, is this too light a beating?"

Sheng An Ning did not stop her and let Niu Chunying beat her. This child's behavior was really infuriating.

Someone rushed in and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't hit her. It will hurt the child."

As he spoke, he blocked Zhou Jianhua's way.

What surprised Sheng An Ning was that it was Luo Caixia!
