After the TV was turned off, the Si family's living room was quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the third son's wife.

She pretended to be a wronged young wife, looking at everyone with red eyes.

Tears flowed before she could speak. "Dad, Mom is not feeling well. It's already late. You should go to bed."

"Mr. San, it's not even ten o'clock yet. We usually go to bed at ten o'clock." Grandma Si said seriously and dissatisfiedly.

"Ah...it's not ten o'clock yet...I thought it was very late!" said the third son's wife crying.

She was so angry that her teeth were itching. This old witch was so hateful!

Grandma Si spoiled her and sternly rebuked her, "What do you think? You're so old and still acting on impulse. Are we too nice to you?"

"Mom...I...I..." She hesitated and glanced at the head of the Si family.

Patriarch Si snorted inwardly and asked calmly, "Why are you looking at me? Are you unhappy because I replaced your father's attending physician?"

The third daughter-in-law: ...

It is true that this matter makes me unhappy, but with two old guys here, she dare not admit it!

Grandma Si saw through the third daughter-in-law’s heart at a glance. She pointed at her and cursed angrily, “You ungrateful bastard.

Your father can't cure my old man, so are you not allowed to change doctors?

Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you turn off the TV in our Si family? If you want to stay, stay here honestly. If you don't want to stay, get out.

No wonder the third brother and two grandsons don’t want to pay attention to you when they occasionally come home. It turns out that you have evil intentions and they have seen through them.

Fortunately, as an old woman, I still feel that my third son and grandson have worked hard on the front line and have neglected you when they returned home.

Normally you acted like a sly kid at home, and I, an old woman, turned a blind eye. Most of the time, I secretly felt that I owed you.

Do you really think I'm too old and confused to see your true faces clearly?"

Mr. Si sat aside, diligently patting his wife's back, and yelling at his eldest daughter-in-law in anger.

"Old man, how did you manage the family? Did you make your mother so angry?"

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my daughter-in-law's fault. I'm not good at managing the household. I will take my third brother and sister-in-law with me to be punished."

The mistress of the Si family bowed her head and admitted her mistake. She couldn't afford to offend her parents-in-law and couldn't do anything to the third brother's family. She would be dealt with later.

"Well!" Mr. Si said softly again, "Old lady, let's go back to the room and rest."

"Mom, you and Dad should go back to your room and rest first. Your son will punish them severely." The head of the Si family said in a gentle voice.

The third daughter-in-law of the Si family became anxious when she heard what everyone said, and immediately ran over to stop her parents-in-law.

She knelt in front of them with tears in her eyes, "Dad, Mom, I was just in a bad mood and couldn't control myself for a moment. Can you please be magnanimous and forgive me this time?"

"Old lady, let's go back to the room and rest." Mr. Si didn't even look at his third daughter-in-law, and pulled his wife upstairs.

"Xiao Qian, the two of you come here and take the third son's wife to the ancestral hall to kneel until dawn. You just stand guard nearby."

"Brother, this is unfair. My sister-in-law just said she will also be punished by the family law."

"She's so tired from being a housekeeper, why should she be punished as well? You deliberately made a mistake, and you want to drag her into the punishment? I think you did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Woo... Woo..." The third son's wife wanted to say something, but Xiao Qian stuffed a rag into her mouth.

The second son's wife sat in a corner of the sofa, patted her heart that was about to jump out of her throat, and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.

Oh! It turns out that my mother-in-law saw everything.

Fortunately, I didn’t slack off in the past, but I must not be lazy in the future!

"Dad, it would be bad if I don't go and get punished!" said the mistress of the Si family, looking into her lover's eyes.

With her lover protecting her like this, she would be willing to accept the punishment even if she was punished by the family.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Everyone makes their own mistakes and takes their own responsibility. Mom and Dad are reasonable people. Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

"Brother is right. Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. I'll go upstairs to rest first." The second son's wife stood up and said.

If she doesn't leave, she will be jealous of her elder brother and sister-in-law's show of affection.

"Well, go get some rest, second sister-in-law. Qingqing, don't blame yourself. If someone throws your heart to the ground, you should throw her to the ground and stomp on her hard."

The head of the Si family is domineering and protective of his wife. He has long disliked his third brother's wife, but his mother has always protected her.

It's rare that his mother got so angry today, so he deserves to make the third brother's family kneel until dawn.

"Si Shiyi, what are you laughing at? Do you want to kneel in the ancestral hall with your third aunt?" The head of the Si family heard laughter coming from the third floor, he looked up and asked sternly.

The grandchildren of the Si family were all standing in the corridor on the third floor, eating the melons from their elders.

Everyone in the same melon field instantly became lively. The girls were whispering to each other, and the boys couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

The cousins who had just been eating melons together all covered their mouths and laughed.

Those who were enjoying the show looked at him, urging him, "Eleventh brother, go back to your room quickly! Are you really waiting for your uncle to send someone to escort you to the ancestral hall?"

"Laojiu, do you want to go and accompany Aunt San too? Why don't you go back to your room and do your homework?"

With a loud crash, there was no one left in the corridor on the third floor.

The Gu family members hadn't gone to bed yet. Grandpa Gu, Dad Gu, and Mom Gu were all watching TV in the living room waiting for Second Brother Gu.

Gu Erge was busy until ten o'clock in the evening before he came home. "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, why are you still not asleep?"

"Jingtai, you've worked hard. Would you like a midnight snack?" Mother Gu asked enthusiastically.

"Mom, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going to take people to buy meat and vegetables tomorrow, as well as other things needed to prepare for the opening."

"Hey, if only your big brother were at home, you wouldn't have to work so hard!"

"Mom, it's not hard for me. The restaurant has a dedicated purchasing agent. He's a retired comrade found by my brother-in-law. He's very reliable."

"Shuo Ci is a capable man. He single-handedly established two factories in the imperial capital. But you...brother, you chose to go all the way to Qingcheng."

Mr. Gu also had to complain to his eldest son, saying that he was really short-sighted.

"Dad, Mom, my brother went to Qingcheng because he couldn't let go of Sheng Yueliang. Please don't mention my brother in front of Jiaojiao."

"We know we won't mention that good-for-nothing in front of Jiaojiao. By the way, Jingtai, you asked me to find a matchmaker for you yesterday. We've been away from the capital for years, and we don't have many close acquaintances left!"

Mother Gu whispered that she felt very sorry for her second son for not being able to handle such a small matter.

"We'll have to trouble Jiaojiao with Jingtai's marriage. She knows a lot of people, and she must be the direct superior of Li Xiaobing and his son." Grandpa Gu said, pinching his chin.

"Dad, is it really okay for us to rely on Jiaojiao for everything?"

"Our Jiaojiao couple are very capable and have a wider network of contacts than us. As long as Jiaojiao is willing to rely on us, there's nothing wrong with that. It's called leveraging momentum."
