"Third son, you look down on the villagers now, don't you? When our family was struggling, it was the villagers who helped us get through it. When you were a child, you hit your head and got a big hole. It was the old village chief who climbed the mountain to find herbs to stop the bleeding..." Old Master Fang said sternly.

Fang Yanming interrupted him, his tone even more impatient, "Dad, why don't you say that my head was broken by the village chief's son? That bastard has broken my head countless times because his father is the village chief."

Ye Qingqing's lips twitched. This was really interesting.

Mao Fangfei walked over, carrying a small jar of walnuts in her other hand and holding pliers in her other hand. She sat down next to Ye Qingqing and calmly peeled and ate the walnuts herself.

"puff"

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but laugh, and asked softly, "Aren't you angry?"

"Click..."

Mao Fangfei found the pliers too fragile, so she put one in her mouth and bit it. She had such good teeth that she cracked it open neatly, revealing the perfect kernel. After eating one small walnut, Mao Fangfei continued to peel a second one, glancing into the inner room with a very calm expression.

"Anyway, I won't die. Your brother Fang will handle it. I don't need to worry about it. What's there to be angry about?"

Mao Fangfei seemed genuinely unperturbed, her expression calm and her tone even, as if the trouble inside was caused by someone else's in-laws and had nothing to do with her.

"But haven't you always wanted to go to Lijiang? Now you can't go."

Mao Fangfei shrugged. "There's still half a month left on the wedding leave. Once Fang Yanming has settled things with his parents, we can fly there. What's the rush?"

Ye Qingqing was amused by her, but also happy for her; she had truly come to terms with things.

"Don't you regret it? Having such troublesome in-laws?" Ye Qingqing whispered to her.

Mao Fangfei shook her head and smiled slightly. "What is there to regret? My in-laws are a bit of a worry, but my husband is easy to take care of. He doesn't make me worry about these trivial matters. As long as he can handle it, that's fine."

If it weren't for her previous failed marriage, Mao Fangfei might have also been resentful and complaining. But compared to her ex-husband, who only wanted her to give in and comply, Fang Yanming always stood firmly by her side. Mao Fangfei felt very happy, and no matter how much her in-laws made a fuss, it wouldn't bother her anymore.

Let them make a scene, the bigger the better, so that Fang Yanming will be so annoyed that he'll send the two old people back to their hometown and never bring them back again.

Mao Fangfei's eyes revealed a cunning glint, along with a hint of smugness, which Ye Qingqing noticed. A thought suddenly occurred to her, and she whispered in Mao Fangfei's ear, "I'm going to ask you this." Mao Fangfei nodded, her smile becoming even more smug.

"Amazing, you've really mastered the art of cultivation! Failure truly is the mother of success." Ye Qingqing sincerely admired him.

Mao Fangfei laughed and said, "I'm not that smart. My second sister-in-law taught me. She told me to test my in-laws' reaction first to see if we could get along."

It turns out that Mao Fangfei took her second sister-in-law's advice and offered to have her in-laws come to live with her a month ago. The medical report was also something Mao Fangfei deliberately showed to her in-laws, just to see how they would react.

If her in-laws treated her well, even if they didn't expect her to be loved like their own daughter, as long as she was reasonable, she would definitely take good care of them. But the reality made Mao Fangfei very happy and relieved.

Fortunately, her in-laws were unreasonable and even a bit domineering, which made Mao Fangfei truly relieved. She wouldn't have to bother trying to please them in the future; all she had to do was give them some money. This was much easier than forcing herself to please unfamiliar in-laws.
