After Yuan Qin remarried, she stopped working and worked as a nanny in her husband's family, cooking, washing clothes, cleaning, taking care of stepchildren... all of her time was taken up.

In just two months, her knuckles became thicker and calluses formed on her fingertips.

It’s a pity that there is no other Meng Jiusi in this family to help her with housework and buy her cold cream!

When she woke up in the middle of the night, Yuan Qin couldn't help but think of her former husband, her two sons, and the good old days.

As soon as the sun rises, she has to repeat yesterday's life.

Yuan Qin gradually became numb, and her eyes were as dull as those of dead fish.

"Isn't the meal ready yet?" Yuan Qin's stepdaughter said dissatisfiedly, her face full of disdain for her stepmother Yuan Qin. "Why is it so slow? What do you do at home all day? You can't cook well, you can't wash clothes, and you eat white rice?"

"My dad spent so much money, why did he marry a loser like you?"

"I don't even have a dowry. It's so embarrassing. I've been laughed at by others. I'm such a loser."

"Waste, waste." Yuan Qin's stepson was young and imitated his sister, clapping his hands and shouting "waste" and having a lot of fun.

The neighbors on both sides could hear the sound clearly.

The neighbor shook his head.

Without commenting, he simply urged his children, "Eat and close your ears."

The child looked over in confusion, "...Why are you closing it?!"

Even though he was holding his chopsticks to cover his ears in a silly manner, he could still clearly hear the quarrel next door.

“…”

Woman: "Are you still eating?"

The child didn't dare to nag anymore and just focused on eating.

Just then, there was a knock on the door next door.

then……

"Qin, damn Qin..." Old Mrs. Yuan wailed, calling her Qin over and over.

Yuan Qin walked over to open the door, "Mom?"

Looking past Old Lady Yuan, she saw her younger brother and sister-in-law. She was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion in her eyes.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Qin said with a cold expression.

She had a bad second marriage, and although she blamed her mother, she knew it was her own decision, so if anyone was to blame, it should be her own lack of firmness.

Her mother asked her to remarry for her own good.

Old Mrs. Yuan held Yuan Qin's hand and cried, "Qin, our family is gone... Your brother and I have no place to live... You must help us."

Yuan Qin was dumbfounded. She suddenly opened her tired eyes wide and asked in shock, "What do you mean?"

"People from the factory office came to our house and said that the house didn't belong to us and kicked us out." Old Mrs. Yuan howled miserably.

Yuan Qin's face turned grim upon learning the whole story. She said emotionally, "How can it not belong to us? That was Jiusi and I's wedding room. We got married there, Jingmo and Guangbai grew up there. It's our home. How can the factory people just take it back like that? I refuse to accept..."

As she spoke, she took off her patched apron and rushed out the door to find someone from the factory office to ask for clarification.

Yuan's daughter-in-law was afraid that Yuan Qin would disrupt her work, so she quickly grabbed her.

"Big sis, don't be impulsive, you...the one in front is coming back!"

Yuan Qin's struggling hands froze, and she looked at her sister-in-law in surprise, "Are you talking about Jiusi? Jiusi is coming back?!"

The tone was full of disbelief.

Her face was filled with joy, yet also a little guilty - after all, she had lost her son.

Her heart was beating fast, and Yuan Qin couldn't figure out what she was feeling. She felt a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

"Yeah, it's spread all over the factory." Yuan's daughter-in-law complained, "If he hadn't come back, we wouldn't have been kicked out."

Yuan Qin put aside her complicated feelings and said angrily, "Why did they take back the house? Where will Jiusi live when he comes back?"

"I...I still have the Meng family." The daughter-in-law of the Yuan family said sourly.

The Meng family had a large ancestral courtyard. They had been kicked out before, and someone else had moved in. Now that the Meng family had restored its reputation, their ancestral courtyard would be returned sooner or later. Meng Jiusi had not severed his relationship with Mr. Meng and had shared his joys and sorrows. How could the Meng family have a room for him? So why was he worried? Aren't they the ones who should be worried?

Yuan Qin was persuaded again.

Yes, Jiusi can still rely on the Meng family.

Her own life was a mess.

"I've remarried. There's no possibility for me and Jiusi anymore, and I have nothing to do with that house anymore." Yuan Qin's mind was rarely clear, her words were slurred, and bitterness welled up in her heart.

She regretted it.

She shouldn't have remarried.

She stood in the sunshine, but the light could not penetrate her heart. The cramped hut behind her was like a monster's claws, ready to drag her into the abyss at any time.

Yuan Qin suddenly felt very tired and had no intention of greeting her family.

"My house is small, I won't keep you here any longer."

When she turned around to go home, Old Lady Yuan grabbed her hair.

The old lady hit Yuan Qin very hard, pulling her head back and causing her to stagger and fall at any moment.

Old Mrs. Yuan was very angry and stopped crying. She pulled Yuan Qin's hair with one hand and slapped her back hard with the other.

"I am your biological mother. I gave birth to you, raised you, and gave you a life. I have no place to live now, so you must take care of me..."

Said it with confidence.

Yuan Qin tried to struggle, but she had not eaten for a long time and her limbs were weak, so she couldn't even get her braid back.

"Mom, do you want to drive me to death?!" She broke down and cried.

"How can I take care of you?" Yuan Qin's eyes were filled with tears. She felt wronged and uncomfortable, and her body was shaking. "You took all my money and I lost my job. How can I take care of you? Mom, I was born by you too. Don't force me."

"How did I force you, you unfilial thing!" Old Mrs. Yuan pushed her aside and squeezed in with a cloth bag in her arms. She saw her new son-in-law's children looking critically at them, walking around, looking at the layout of the house, thinking it was too small, and showed disgust on their faces.

"This room is so small..."

Brother Yuan and his wife always listen to Grandma Yuan. She lets the bad guys be the bad guys, and they follow behind to pick up the good things. If they can pick up the good things, everyone is happy. If they can't pick up the good things, it's no big deal, it's just a waste of effort.

Seeing Old Lady Yuan rush into the house, the two men smiled apologetically at Yuan Qin, pretended to pull the old lady out, and also went into the house.

Two pairs of eyes quickly scanned the room, their faces showing the same critical expression as Old Lady Yuan's.

This house... is not even half the size of Meng's. How can I live in it?

When he saw Yuan Qin's stepson and stepdaughter, he looked at them with disgust, thinking they were troublesome people.

Yuan Qin's stepdaughter felt offended and was in a bad mood. She shouted, "Stepmother, what a mess these people are! Why are you bringing all these people into your home? Kick them out!"

Yuan Qin looked at Old Lady Yuan and said, "Mom, there's no room at home. You guys should go first. My husband will be back soon."

The man she married for the second time had a bad temper and was very scary when he glared at her, so she didn't dare to provoke him.

Old Mrs. Yuan: "So what if I came back? I'm his mother-in-law. Can he kick me out?"

This remark hit Yuan Qin's stepdaughter's nerves precisely, and she angrily said, "You old woman are not my father's mother-in-law. My grandmother is my father's mother-in-law. Get out of my house!"

Yuan Xiaodi was closest to her and was very unhappy with what she said. He aimed at the girl's head and gave her a big smack.

"You're just a small loser, what's your business? Shut up, or I'll beat you up."

The little girl, who was about ten years old, was beaten for the first time. Her mind went blank for a moment. She stared at him blankly without saying a word.

Yuan Qin's face turned pale. She rushed over to touch her stepdaughter's head and asked nervously, "Honghong, are you okay?"

This question completely awakened the little girl.

"You dare to hit me!!" she screamed, slapped Yuan Qin's hand away, picked up the broom and hit Yuan's brother.

The building is not soundproofed, and you can hear your neighbor sneezing, let alone someone shouting.

The neighbors on both sides were alarmed and crowded into the corridor to watch.

"What are you all doing here?"

A familiar voice came from the stairs.

It was the man Yuan Qiner married—Kong Wu.

"Master Kong, you're finally back. Your new mother-in-law is here with your brother-in-law and his wife. Your daughter Honghong was crying just now..."

The quick-talking neighbor had just finished speaking when the little girl's shouting voice rang out again.

"If you dare to hit me, I will let my dad beat you to death!" Honghong was a little girl and could not beat Yuan Xiaodi, an adult. The broom in her hand was forced to drop out of her hand and her arm was hit several times. She screamed in pain.

When her brother saw his sister being beaten, he was so scared that he started crying.

The crying of his children reached Kong Wu's ears, and he rushed into the house.

He glanced at Yuan Qin with a vicious look, and then he became furious and rushed towards Yuan Xiaodi, hitting him in the face with his sandbag-sized fist.

"How dare you touch my child! You're courting death!!"

Brother Yuan's nose felt sore and blood immediately gushed out.

Just as he was about to wail, he was punched in the cheek again.

After being punched several times, the look in his eyes when he looked at his new brother-in-law was filled with fear.

Kong Wu's movements were too fast. Before the others could react, Brother Yuan had been knocked down.

Yuan Qin was taught to protect her younger brother since she was young. When she saw her younger brother injured, her first reaction was anxiety.

She hurried to help her brother.

Brother Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, in which were a few teeth.

Seeing this, Yuan Qin looked at her husband with some resentment.

Kong Wu smiled speechlessly.

Haha, knowing that the one in front is coming back, they become bolder and even dare to glare at him.

He looked at his children and said, "Go inside. I'll take care of this."

Honghong knew that her father would not suffer any loss, so she glared at the Yuan family angrily before leaving.

Back in the house, I said to my brother, "All stepmothers are bad. Stay away from that woman from now on. She's bad to her own children, and she won't be sincere to us. Remember that?"

"I miss my mother." The little boy lowered his head and sobbed.

The girl's eyes also turned red.

Outside.

Kong Wu threw the Yuan family's things out without saying a word.

Old Mrs. Yuan started to make a fuss, scolding him for being unfilial, just like in an opera. Kong Wu said nothing, just held down Little Brother Yuan and started beating him. In a short time, Little Brother Yuan suffered a psychological trauma from the beating.

He shouted at Old Lady Yuan, "Mom, can you please spare me? I'm almost beaten to death!"

Sooner or later he will die because of his mother's mouth!

Old Mrs. Yuan was greedy and selfish. She valued her son very much. She couldn't bear to see her only son being beaten, so she shut her mouth and her face turned red.

Kong Wu warned, "I'm not the one in front of Yuan Qin, so you can suck my blood. I only married your daughter, not your family. You are not welcome in my family. Don't come again, otherwise you will be busy looking for a job for your son..."

It's a warning.

It is also a threat.

Brother Yuan's face turned green.

Why are they all staring at him? Are temporary workers discriminated against so much?!

His red and swollen face was full of despair.

Old Mrs. Yuan knew that it was not easy to take advantage of her new son-in-law, so she stared at him for several seconds with her old eyes, then she hugged her cloth bag, called her son and daughter-in-law and left.

She never let go of the cloth bag in her arms, even when her son was beaten.

Kong Wu's gaze paused on the cloth bag for a few moments, then he looked away in an instant, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking of something.

After driving out the Yuan family, he looked at Yuan Qin and approached her. "You haven't fulfilled your responsibilities. This is the first time, and I hope it will be the last time."

Yuan Qin said, "They are my family. What can I do? You have to understand me."

She was very dissatisfied with the man for beating her brother like that. "You hurt my brother like that, didn't you think about the fact that I still have to get along with my family? You are too selfish."

Kong Wu scoffed, "Meng Jiusi is not selfish, but he has lost his wife and children."

He sneered, "When dealing with people from your mother's family, you have to be selfish."

"I'm not Meng Jiusi. I don't support idlers, nor will I indulge those parasites in your family. You'd better remember my words. If you do it again... your brother will forget his job."

Yuan Qin shouted: "You can't do this..."

Kong Wu was impatient to listen, so he opened the door and left the house. When no one was paying attention, he quietly followed the Yuan family members.

...They blamed Meng Jiusi for not dying outside, and then cursed themselves, hoping that he would die suddenly...

There was frost in Kong Wu's eyes.

Go ahead and curse, but wait until they are at the end of their rope and see if they still have enough left to curse!

To be honest, the Yuan family is really hateful - let's not talk about him for now, Dr. Meng was very good to their family, but this family doesn't appreciate anyone's kindness, and only hates that their ex-son-in-law (brother-in-law) didn't die, causing them to lose their house. This is not just ungrateful, it's really insane.

A dozen young men appeared at the street corner ahead. They were in a rush, eager to glance over at anyone they met. If they sensed something was amiss, they would spring into action. Few dared to look at them, and the young men, feeling incredibly proud, held their heads high.

Kong Wu felt that the opportunity had come and followed a little closer.

Time flies.

There was chaos up ahead, and Kong Wu took advantage of the chaos to steal Old Lady Yuan's cloth bag and escaped quietly.

Just as she disappeared around the corner, she heard Old Lady Yuan's shrill wail, "My cloth bag, my cloth bag is gone..."

This time the panic was genuine.

Kong Wu curled his lips, quickly left the place, and after arriving at a safe place, he opened the cloth bag and saw that it was full of banknotes, estimated to be thousands of yuan.

"!!!"

He was ecstatic.

What a pleasant surprise.

Kong Wu had to save up so much money by himself, which would take him three to five years. Suddenly, it became free, and he almost smiled crookedly.

Kong Wu guessed that this money was probably half of the resentment from Yuan Qin, and he sympathized with him for a second.

Harvest Brigade.

Meng Jiusi sneezed twice in a row.

"Who's talking about me..." he said with a smile.

Lin Zhao curled her lips. She guessed it was the Yuan family. Who made them do such a bad thing? Knowing her fourth brother's good deeds... they must be trembling with fear.

There was another reason why she didn't want Meng Jiusi to return to the capital. She was afraid that her fourth brother would be entangled by the Yuan family.

From the letter Yun Jian sent, one can see the character of the Yuan family: they are all those who can't get enough of taking advantage. With a personality like Fourth Brother, it's easy to suffer when facing so many shameless people.

Meng Jiusi discovered that the look in Zhao Zhao's eyes when she looked at her was... a little too loving, and her face was filled with surprise.

"What's wrong?"

Of course Lin Zhao would not mention the Yuan family, as it would be so unlucky.

She made up a random excuse, "Nothing. What do you think of this room, Fourth Brother?! If you find anything uncomfortable, just tell me."

"No, it's very good. I put a lot of effort into it." Meng Jiusi smiled warmly.

They had just arrived at the Gu family and had been living like turtles for a few months. They felt a little uncomfortable with this normal life, but this would take time and everything would be fine.
