"It was a quiet place back then. By the way, sister-in-law, instead of urging Xiao Shi to get married with Mom, why did you come here?"

"Hey, isn't it just that my second sister's kids have come too?"

There wasn't enough room inside, so I came out.

"Sister-in-law, I don't think so. Our living room is quite big. Even the whole Shen family could sit comfortably inside."

"Sister-in-law, what you're saying is meaningless. We all say that you should see through things but not say them out loud. Why did you say it out loud?"

"Yes, it's my fault, my fault, I didn't expect this."

Did you hear that? Just look at this, how could you not know it?

It's all to avoid Zhao Mingcheng and his wife. If it were just Zhao Mingcheng alone, it would be fine, but with his wife added to the mix, I really don't know what to say.

A college graduate from a prestigious university, how come she can't speak properly? One sentence from her can leave someone speechless. I don't know how Sister Nan can stand it.

And they make this demand regardless of the occasion. Is that really a demand?

Given her appearance, it goes without saying how much everyone dislikes her.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not live together, otherwise they could have gotten sick from the stress.

In just a few short years, it can be said that, apart from Xiao Shi, all the other unmarried people have gotten married.

They not only settled their life's major event, but also added a new member to their family.

If I hadn't gone home to spend the Lunar New Year with my elders, I wouldn't have known that the Shen family had grown from just a few people to dozens.

Compared to other families, this one may not be large, but it's not small either.

As for the matter between Zhao Mingcheng and his wife, I really don't want to say anything.

Saying too much already makes me angry enough, doesn't it?

But the more you try to ignore the other person, the more they will try to engage with you.

Not long after they sat down to eat their New Year's Eve dinner, Mingcheng's wife, Jing Qianqian, suddenly asked him about it.

"Third Aunt, are you free later?"

Upon hearing this, I knew she wanted something from me, but before I could even say anything...

Then she heard her daughter, Ruohua, speak first.

"Second cousin-in-law, you might as well just say what's on your mind. My parents just got back from their trip and they're already very tired."

After finishing dinner, she will stay with her grandparents. After they fall asleep, she will definitely go back to her room to rest.

Isn't that a pointless question?

If it were an ordinary person, they certainly wouldn't say anything after hearing this.

A sensible person wouldn't write an extra word at this time.

But this Jing Qianqian, I don't know if she was used to being free in the Jing family before, or if this is just her nature.

Upon hearing Ruohua's words, he not only did not realize that her words were inappropriate, but also said...

"I'm telling you, cousin, now that you're married, you shouldn't interfere in your parents' family affairs anymore."

Otherwise, your sisters-in-law might think you're spying on your family's property.

Upon hearing this, even Ruohua, who has a good temper, was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"you."

At this moment, her eldest daughter-in-law didn't tolerate her and directly retorted.

"I said, cousin's wife, when did it become your place to speak about our family matters?"

Besides, even if Mom really gave all the family property to my younger sister, the three of us sisters-in-law wouldn't have any objections.

We have hands and feet, jobs, and the ability to support our families, so why should we be eyeing our parents' inheritance?

People need to know their own limitations.

Aunt, it's not that I'm being rude, but if we're talking about married daughters being like water spilled from a bowl, then in the Shen family, as the second brother's wife, you probably don't have the right to speak up!

Seeing what Jing Qianqian was about to say, Junde's wife also spoke up, not wanting to be disappointed.

"That's right, cousin's wife, instead of wasting your time, you should hurry up and have a child for your cousin."

This woman, though she can't be without a job, can't compromise on having children.

Putting aside your age, Mingcheng is also getting on in years. You should hurry up and give Mingcheng a son or daughter.

That way, at least you'll have more confidence when you speak up at home.

But then again, whether or not to have children is a matter for the two of you.

We outsiders really can't make decisions for you.

Similarly, you don't need to worry about our family matters.

As for what you just said, the child's aunt is already married and shouldn't concern herself with her family's affairs.

To me, this is such a double standard.

If I remember correctly, haven't you been busy with matters concerning your family lately?

"Why are you meddling in our family affairs now that we're in our home?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Qianqian was momentarily at a loss for how to turn around, so she could only...

"You, you all..."

Seeing her like this, even Hongyu's wife, who usually didn't stand out much at home, couldn't help but say something.

"Qianqian, although we are both from Haishi, we should be closer to each other."

But I really didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Jing family, whom everyone used to talk about, would be so willing to meddle in other people's affairs.

If you have that ability, why haven't you helped your Jing family's company get off the ground yet?

I think you're too idle.

“An Xin, what right do you have to comment on the affairs of our Jing family?”

Besides, with the An family's power, they're not even qualified to carry the Jing family's shoes.

Sitting to the side eating, seeing Jing Qianqian's words becoming increasingly outrageous, he felt he had no choice but to step in and speak up.

“I’m saying, Mingcheng’s wife, if you put it that way, then at least Xinxin’s parents and their elders are law-abiding people.”

Unlike your family, who break the law for petty gains.

They would never spy on other people's power or businesses and then start trouble for no reason.

Although this is not the territory of the third branch of the Shen family, before you speak ill of the Shen family, you'd better first understand who lives here.

Don't think that just because you're here for the Shen family reunion dinner, you can say whatever you want.

They didn't even consider whether the host family welcomed them or not.

I originally thought that Jing Qianqian would restrain herself after hearing what I said.

Unexpectedly, Jing Qianqian not only did not know how to restrain herself, but also said...

"Third Aunt? I call you Aunt out of respect. Don't think that just because you're an elder you can lecture me."

Besides, why has our Jing family become like this? Don't you bear any responsibility?

You know perfectly well that Mingcheng is the son-in-law of the Jing family, so why are you still pushing the Jing family to the brink of destruction?

And what else did you say, that Mingcheng is no different from your own child?
