So when Xiang Lidang returned home, An You looked around worriedly and asked how to resolve Hao Fenqiang's issue?
When An You heard that her sixth cousin had gone next door to help her solve the problem, she felt relieved: "It turned out to be cousin Haodong. He has a good temper. It should be fine."
Xiang Lidang slowly swallowed the water he drank, turned his head to look at his wife, and redefined what it meant to have a good temper.
Noticing her husband's look, An You covered her mouth and smiled, her eyebrows curved: "I'm not lying to you, among my cousins, he really has the best temper."
She was not lying. An Haodong's temper was considered quite good in the entire An family.
Before An You was born, the quiet An Haodong was dressed like a girl when he was a child. An Zhenbang often told An You about this and she still remembers it clearly.
It’s just that when boys reach their rebellious period, they are very ruthless in fighting. Now they know how to restrain themselves a little.
Xiang Lidang silently lit a stick of incense for the Hao family next door.
No one knew what tricks An Haodong used, but when he and An You went out the next day, he found that everyone in the Hao family avoided him.
If I had to use one word to describe the Hao family, it would be that they were like a rabbit seeing a tiger, hiding in the corner, trembling and not daring to move at all.
None of the Hao family members had any injuries on their faces, and no noise was heard last night, but today they were as quiet as a chicken.
Zhang Jidi finally felt relieved when he heard his daughter-in-law explain the whole story.
She couldn't help but hold An You's hand with concern: "Why don't you live with us for a while? Who knows what the neighbors are up to here?"
Even with An Haodong's intimidation, who knows if Hao Fenqiang will become mentally twisted and seek revenge after becoming a eunuch?
It would be better to move in with Zhang Jidi for a while and wait until the house demolition is over. No matter what, safety comes first.
An You knew that her mother-in-law invited her out of kindness, but she still didn't want to live there.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law only see each other during family gatherings on weekends. They have very different living habits. Moving into Zhang Jidi's house, she was afraid that they would quarrel.
She had no choice but to say, "My mother is worried about me and wants me to go back and stay for a few days. I plan to stay at my parents' house to give birth."
Nowadays, some feudal families do not allow their daughters to return to their parents' home to give birth, for fear that they will take away the blessings of their ancestors. But the An family is different. They have long advised her to go to the An family to recuperate after giving birth.
An's mother loved her daughter very much, and her sisters-in-law and younger sister-in-law didn't dare to say anything.
After all, the mother-in-law treated them all equally and took care of them during the confinement period. The men in the family also sided with An You, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law could not say anything against it.
As long as they are not asked to spend money or effort, my sister-in-law can stay in confinement wherever she wants.
Zhang Jidi saw Xiang Youjun standing next to him and said, "Okay, your mother-in-law took care of your first child, and I don't have much experience. I'll make you your favorite goose soup when the time comes."
Although she did not take care of her daughter-in-law personally during her confinement period, she made plenty of nourishing soups for her.
I still remember that An You’s favorite thing was goose soup. She drank this soup the most every time. The careful Zhang Jidi took note of it.
An You's eyes lit up: "I also want Codonopsis and lean pork soup... Mom, then I'll pack up and go stay at my mother's house with Li Dang for a few days."
She blushed a little when she made requests for food, but she couldn't compete with her mother-in-law's good cooking skills, and blurted out the dishes she wanted.
Zhang Jidi was a little amused by his naive and straightforward daughter-in-law. "Okay, I'll stew it for you when the time comes. Don't come over these days. Tell Xiang Lidang to stay put. If they really want to dismantle your place, the staff will find the factory."
Having experienced her daughter Xiang Lili being plotted against twice, she never underestimates the evil of human nature.
A wife and a few hundred yuan of betrothal gifts can make people go crazy and take risks to break the law, let alone a house of hundreds or thousands of square meters?
Some people become so bold in the face of critical moments that they turn evil. It only takes a thought to turn from a good person into a criminal.
An You is pregnant and it is not convenient for her to run away. Although Xiang Lidang has the ability to protect himself and can come to discuss demolition compensation, people are more important than houses.
An Haodong beat people into eunuchs. Maybe Hao Fenqiang is mentally twisted and wants to drag them to death with him. We have to be on guard.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It is better to go somewhere else to avoid the limelight.
An You happily packed her bags and went to live with her parents. Rather than having her house demolished, she would rather live happily in her parents' home. After all, she had enough food and clothing, and money was just a number.
The couple lived in the An family's house with their children, and An You's room before she got married was still well preserved.
When An You was on maternity leave, Xiang Lidang would chat with his colleagues and only say that he was renting a house outside, and did not disclose that he was living in his wife's parents' home.
The An family has many rivals outside, who knows if they will use some shady tricks?
As a result, Xiang's family no longer had any hope for the demolition and did not think that Xiang Lidang's house could be demolished.
