Xiang Hongqi, who was sitting on the side, patted Zhang Jidi on the shoulder and comforted him silently.

He doesn't want his wife to get sick from anger.

Who doesn't have some troubles? If your family is doing well, don't worry too much.

Zhang Laidi laughed awkwardly, his eyes flustered, and tried to save face: "It's not that there is no other way, it's just registered under the name of my daughter-in-law, and she brought it home with her when she got married."

This is just nonsense, who would believe it?

Zhang Jidi took a few breaths and tried to suppress the anger in his heart: "You are very kind, you are right. I am already a married woman, how can I care about you."

If she didn't grit her teeth when she spoke, the grinding sound would be quite loud and might be more convincing.

Zhang Laidi didn't dare dwell on this topic. He looked around and said quickly, "Oh, my eldest nephew's wife is going to give birth again? Last time it was a girl, this time it will definitely bear fruit as soon as it blooms."

She was too stiff to change the subject.

Wang Chunting, who was sitting quietly on the side, could only force a smile, touched her round belly and did not dare to interrupt.

After all, there are obvious conflicts between my mother-in-law and my aunt. If I say too much at this time, won’t I become cannon fodder?

Thinking that the whole family was here and my eldest daughter-in-law was about to give birth, I couldn't stand the scare.

Zhang Jidi suppressed his anger and put on a typical fake smile for everyone: "My good nephew, go rent or buy a house by yourself. Your aunt can't afford it."

Zhang Laidi and Zhang Mingyu, mother and son, looked at each other and fell silent.

Don’t dwell on the topic of houses anymore, it will only lead to disaster.

Fortunately, the food was almost ready by then, and the family had a meal in an odd atmosphere.

When Zhang Lai Di was about to leave, she said to Chen Wei affectionately, "Time is tight today, so let's treat our cousin-in-law to a work dinner next weekend."

Work is a big deal. Although it’s not like a wedding with ten or so tables, it’s normal for family members to gather around one table.

Chen Wei hugged his son and said a few polite words. He already understood his mother-in-law's attitude, so naturally he was not as warm as before.

Without giving Fifth Sister any face, Zhang Jidi immediately scolded her: "What's the point of having a work banquet? They buy houses like they buy onions. How can I, Chen Wei, afford to marry into this family?"

Zhang Laidie, who was criticized, smiled awkwardly, pulled his son away quickly, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Xiang Mianmian was very curious about the past events of her mother and aunt, but she also knew that it was not her place to ask about the conflicts between her elders, so she decided to just clean up the dishes.

Xiang Lili was very curious. After her eldest brother and sister-in-law, and her second sister and brother-in-law all returned, she asked, "Mom, what do you mean by buying a house? You're giving each daughter-in-law a house? Is my fifth aunt's family that wealthy?"

Are the conditions so good?

Zhang Jidi closed his eyes and avoided answering: "You should have less contact with this stupid Zhang Mingyu. If someone at the factory sees him, just pretend you don't know him."

"After all, she's my aunt, isn't it bad?"

Although Zhang Mingyu's disturbance at the methane plant has become famous, the relationship between Zhang Mingyu and her relatives cannot be avoided.

Zhang Jidi pouted at the figures of the mother and son walking away outside the house: "He's confused, and neither are you. When the time comes, you two will be a burden, and I wonder what Dawei will do."

She was filled with rage and sprayed venom at everyone, leaving no one spared.

Xiang Lili was dissatisfied: "How am I stupid? He was only 40th place and almost got eliminated. But I was the first one to enter the factory, okay?"

She relied on her own strength, did not cause trouble for Chen Wei's brother-in-law, and never mentioned that Chen Wei was her brother-in-law.

This silly sister, it’s not a problem of brain, it’s a problem of emotional intelligence.

Xiang Mianmian hurried out to drag Xiang Lili to avoid Zhang Jidi's love education: "Mom, I don't know how to knit a knitting needle. I want to ask Fifth Sister for help."

Don’t say any more, or my mother will explode.

Zhang Jidi snorted coldly, thinking that this silly girl was lucky to have a good sister who could run fast.

The Xiang family became quiet and everyone was packing up.

On the other side, Zhang Mingyu, who had returned home with Zhang Laidi, was puzzled: "Mom, why can't we tell my aunt that we no longer have a house?"

Seeing that no one was around, Zhang Laidi broke it open and crumpled it up and said to Shadaer:

"This story begins with the death of your grandparents. As you know, there are six sisters in your mother's family, and I am the fifth. I married your father and gave birth to you four siblings.

In fact, it was your aunt who should have been in charge of the kitchen and taken care of the family to marry a son-in-law. Unfortunately, when your grandparents were sick, your aunt was only in her early teens. Her four older sisters were married, and I was the only one in the family who was of the right age to take a son-in-law.

When the county train station was being built, our family was relocated and given four apartments. Your grandparents had no choice but to drag their sick bodies and force me to swear not to sell the family property, to find a stable man to marry my aunt, and to bring your father into the family as a son-in-law. Then they died."

Zhang Mingyu understood a little bit and interrupted to ask, "Oh, so Auntie values ​​our house so much because it's our ancestral property and can't be sold?"

And in some ways, the Zhang family's property belongs to Zhang Jidi.

Unfortunately, the timing of Zhang's parents' death was too coincidental, and the youngest daughter did not grow up. What could a ten-year-old girl do?

Under the temptation of four apartments, there were many jackals and tigers, and in the end, the only option was for the fifth daughter, Zhang Laidi, to marry a son-in-law.

Zhang Lai Di nodded. She had no choice but to give the house in exchange for her daughter-in-law. "Yes, mother swore an oath. It's normal for your aunt to be angry."

Zhang Jidi was so strong-willed because his parents had cultivated him since he was young, in order to marry a son-in-law to take care of the family and support the family. Who could have expected that an accident would happen?

Zhang Mingyu curled his lips: "Why does she care about my family now that she's married? Mom, don't worry about my aunt. It's only fair that I have two sets and my brother has two sets. We can't let that guy take advantage, right?"

His brother Zhang Guoqing used a house as collateral for the betrothal gift to marry his wife, and the couple also live in one house, so isn't that two houses?

Zhang Mingyu, however, didn't have any of them. He was anxious and worried that he wouldn't have a share of the house, which naturally made him feel unbalanced.

Zhang Laidi sighed: "You are not only a brother, you also have a younger brother."

"His last name isn't Zhang, let him go find my dad." Zhang Mingyu blurted out.

Zhang Lai Di and her husband had three sons and one daughter. Their youngest son was born when she was nearly 40 years old. Out of sympathy for her husband's decision to marry into the family, the couple decided that the youngest son would take the husband's surname.

Unexpectedly, the two eldest sons and daughter were particularly hostile to this younger brother with a different surname.

The eldest son, Zhang Guoqing, was born with a stutter and was not good at studying, so he couldn't find a job at all.

In order to prevent her eldest son from going to the countryside, she found a healthy daughter-in-law for him and gave him two houses, one for living and one as a betrothal gift. Otherwise, no one would be willing to marry a person with disabilities.

The second son was quite promising. He was admitted to the methane plant with his own ability, but he insisted on selling his house and buying a house near the methane plant.

Zhang Laidi was in a state of panic: "Don't talk too much now. Your aunt will definitely be unhappy. If you sell the house, she will definitely scold you."

After being promised many benefits, Zhang Mingyu gave up the idea and only rented a house near the methane plant.

Zhang Laidi rolled his eyes and said, "Be smart. Chen Wei is a leader who has a say in the factory director. Try to build a good relationship with him instead of just working on your own."

Unlike Zhang Jidi who relies on himself for everything, Zhang Laidi is very good at taking advantage of situations. He didn't associate with his younger sister before because the Xiang family was living a tight life and there was no profit to be made.

Naturally, she didn't miss the Xiang family, and even hoped that they would not interfere with each other.
