Chapter 181 Sister-in-law

In fact, there was nothing much to clean at home. Xu Yuxiang lived here on weekdays, so the house was not left unattended.

The reason why Xu Yuxiang was willing to celebrate the New Year at Su Houde's place was not because she minded Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao coming back, but because she valued a lively New Year.

She didn't want to spend the New Year here alone. She was worried about the gossip of the villagers, so she moved back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Anyway, Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao are not at home.

Chen Guilan went home and put up some couplets and blessing characters, but didn't stay there for long.

Xu Yue'e never goes out all year round and hasn't been to Chen Guilan's house for a long time. She looks here and there and says that her home is different from before.

Chen Guilan just smiled.

The house is still the same house.

It's just that the house is empty now, but it's still different.

Feng Yuefen heard someone next door and leaned against the wall to listen. She realized it was Chen Guilan who had returned. She walked over and greeted her with a smile, "Guilan is back."

"Sister-in-law." Chen Guilan had never seen Feng Yuefen so friendly before. Feng Yuefen looked Chen Guilan up and down. "You've been in the city for a year. You must be feeling uneasy after coming back, right?"

Chen Guilan was wearing a lavender down jacket, dark gray plaid pants, and her hair was tied behind her head. She looked fashionable and her skin looked whiter.

He doesn't look like a villager at all.

She came over to say hello to Chen Guilan simply because Chen Guilan had promoted Su Cuicui, and Su Cuicui always praised how great Er Niang was.

"I grew up here since I was a child. How could I not be used to it? I'm used to it." Chen Guilan didn't want to chat with her former sister-in-law, mainly because they didn't get along well before.

Chen Guilan promoted Su Cuicui entirely because she listened to Su Jiaojiao's advice.

After all, Su Jiaojiao and Su Cuicui are cousins, and they get along pretty well. She has no other intentions.

"Oh, sister-in-law is here too!" Feng Yuefen just saw Xu Yue'e coming out of the house and said casually, "You two get along so well that you spend the New Year together."

"Yeah, who's like you and your sister-in-law, fighting with each other." Although Xu Yue'e rarely goes out, she is still relatively familiar with the affairs of the village.

She had heard about the quarrel between Feng Yuefen and Su Xiumei.

"My sister-in-law never goes out all year round, so she knows a lot of things." Feng Yuefen felt a little embarrassed and cursed in her heart, saying that a lunatic could speak so harshly.

But she was still a little surprised when she met Xu Yue'e.

Xu Yue'e was wearing the same style of down jacket as Chen Guilan, except that hers was dark purple. Her pants were the same, and her hair was combed neatly. She didn't look like someone who had been bedridden for years.

It was obvious that Xu Yue'e's clothes were bought by Chen Guilan.

Chen Guilan really supports her family.

"That's right. If I had gone out, I would have smashed the bottom of your pot." When Xu Yue'e was young, she was a famous spicy food in the production team.

People like Feng Yuefen are no match for her at all.

"I don't like what my sister-in-law said. I didn't offend you, so why did you break the bottom of my pot?" Feng Yuefen was not afraid of Chen Guilan, nor was she afraid of Xu Yue'e.

"Your family bullying my sister is equivalent to slapping me and Chen Guisheng in the face." Xu Yue'e was sober at this time.

Fragments of memories she had heard every day flooded her mind, and she simply poured them out: "Su Houli is having an affair outside, and no one in your family has come forward to accuse him. Instead, they ganged up on him and bullied my sister. As your sister-in-law, don't you think I should hold your family accountable?"

"The one who committed adultery is Su Houli. We are his brother and sister-in-law. What can we do about it?" Feng Yuefen didn't have much contact with Xu Yue'e. She only knew that she was crazy and hospitalized all year round, but she didn't know that she was also eloquent.

"Second sister-in-law, everything has passed, let's not talk about it anymore." Chen Guilan didn't want to mention these things anymore.

"You've gone over there, but I haven't!" Xu Yue'e said to Feng Yuefen with a sullen face, "I'm your sister-in-law, and you're your sister-in-law too. If I had a brother-in-law who was an adulterer, I wouldn't let him in. But you don't think he did anything wrong at all. Instead, you keep comparing that mistress to my sister, right?"

“…” Feng Yuefen was stunned by the question.

"So, no one in your family is a good person!" Xu Yue'e's spit was almost on Feng Yuefen's face. "If I had been as clear-headed as I am now, I would have smashed the bottom of your pot into pieces."

"Second sister-in-law, let's go back!" Chen Guilan pulled Xu Yue'e away. Xu Yue'e took out the lock from behind the door and said, "Don't forget to lock the door."

Feng Yuefen followed them out in a huff, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. When the two of them reached the entrance of the alley, she finally reacted and shouted at their backs, "Xu Yue'e, come back here! If you have the guts, come back and smash the bottom of my pot."

"What are you arguing about?" Xu Yuxiang walked out of the yard, rolling her eyes and saying, "Why are you arguing with a lunatic?"

"Mom, you heard everything, why didn't you come out to help?" Feng Yuefen was even more angry, pointing at the entrance of the alley. "I came out to greet them with good intentions, but instead they turned around and scolded me. What does Su Houli's affair have to do with me? How can I care about him?"

"What do you mean by slut or not? Why are you speaking so harshly?" Xu Yuxiang was unhappy.

"I'm unlucky to marry into your family." Feng Yuefen had never been scolded like this before. She stormed into the yard and kicked the chicken feed bowl off the ground. "If Su Houli brings that woman back for the New Year, I won't serve him. I don't owe him anything, he owes me."

"I'll do it, I'll do it, okay?" Xu Yuxiang was also very angry.

Su Houli and Gao Meifeng returned on Chinese New Year's Day.

Xue Yuxin didn't come. She spent the New Year at Gao Meifeng's parents' home. There is no custom in the city that daughters and nephews cannot spend the New Year at their parents' home.

Feng Yuefen simply gave up the job, saying she was sick, and lay on the kang doing nothing.

Gao Meifeng sneered, you're just pretending!

If you don't do it, I won't do it either.

Xu Yuxiang had no choice but to ask her two sons to help. Since Su Houli and Chen Guilan divorced, everything has changed, but she has no way to do anything.

Compared with Xu Yuxiang's family, Chen Guisheng's family is much more lively and festive.

This winter, Xu Yue'e was not hospitalized, which was a rare occasion. Chen Guisheng was very happy and gave Chen Juan and Su Jiaojiao each one hundred yuan in New Year's money.

Both of them accepted it happily and wished a happy new year to Xu Yue'e, Chen Guisheng and Chen Guilan.

Chen Guilan also gave Chen Juan and Xiao Suisui one hundred yuan each as New Year's money, which made the New Year more festive.

After the reunion dinner, the family sat on the kang, chatting and laughing, and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

There are firecrackers blasting outside the window and the house is filled with joy.

Su Jiaojiao snuggled up to Chen Guilan, teasing Xiao Suisui in Xu Yue'e's arms from time to time. Compared to her previous life of hard work, she preferred these warm daily lives, which were plain but sweet.
