"I don't think of you as a man?"
"Bah! Then can I have a baby with you?"
"Cao Quan, are you still a man?"
Duan Lian was also angry. When she married into the family, everything went according to her plan. She wanted to separate Cao Quan and Cao Chengcai and make Cao Xue work for her. But everything came to an abrupt end with the arrival of Old Lady Cao.
Now that I'm pregnant, with the arrival of the Li family, my future prospects are gone.
He got angry and rushed forward, scratching Cao Quan with both hands, leaving several marks on his face with his nails.
All the gentleness and care that come with marriage seemed to be faked by the person in front of me.
Cao Quan was in a daze for a few seconds, but what appeared in his mind was Li Xiu Lian's former gentleness. It was different, really different. At this moment, he truly knew Duan Lian, the person beside him.
He grabbed Duan Lian with one hand, and then thought that since his mother came, Chengcai seemed to have become the less mischievous son he used to be, so he made a decision.
"Dad, Mom, I agree. I will sign the guarantee."
Duan Lian was furious and yelled, "Cao Quan, you coward! You think the Li family is a good thing? You're a useless man with no ambition!"
Cao Quan tied the man up and handed him over to his mother to take him into the house.
In the main hall, in front of the Li family, he wrote the letter of guarantee, signed his name, and pressed his fingerprints.
"Dad, Mom, my next daughter-in-law was a good person before we got married, but I didn't expect she would be like this after marriage. Now that she's married and pregnant, I can't divorce her. Please take good care of Chengcai and Xiaoxue in the future."
My goal of coming to Cao's house today has been achieved.
The three brothers of the Li family didn't show any shame.
The eldest brother of the Li family patted his former third brother-in-law and said, "People say that you should marry a virtuous woman. Now that you have met such a woman, you should be more careful with the family's money in the future and don't let others empty the house."
The second brother of the Li family said, "We three brothers have always agreed with you. Let's drink together in the future."
The younger brother of the Li family felt a little embarrassed and said, "At first, our family thought you knew about your wife's pregnancy, so we were so angry. I misunderstood you."
After this noisy meal, at the end, the atmosphere in the Cao family seemed quite warm, except for Duan Lian.
The Cao family opened the door and let the Li family out.
The neighbors who had stuck their heads out to watch the show did not retreat, but instead greeted the Li family.
Song Jiayu was one of them. Not only her, but Zhao Qiuqin was standing next to her, hugging her legs, with two little heads on each side, blinking their big eyes.
Seeing that the Li family had completely left, the Cao family closed the gate of the courtyard. Duan Lian's crying and cursing began to be heard from inside, and the excitement of the neighbors had just begun.
"Duan Lian, she wanted to marry our Director Shen at first, and she often went to the gate of the military factory to block people. Director Shen didn't like her, so she went to find Cao Quan again."
"How do you know so clearly?"
"Hey, wasn't Duan Lian being all snarky and mean to our factory director's wife during the Chinese New Year? I went to ask around. Do you know why that matchmaker praised Duan Lian so highly?"
"Hurry up and tell me, I'm so anxious."
"The matchmaker is Aunt Duan Lian, so I have to take better care of my niece."
"That scoundrel from the Duan family is not to be trifled with."
"I guess the Duan family will come knocking on our door tomorrow."
“…”
In the era without television and mobile phones, any little thing happening in someone's home would be like a live broadcast and would become a topic of conversation among neighbors after dinner or tea.
[Complete the tasks of "Whose daughter-in-law is secretly pregnant?", "The ex-wife's family shows up," and "Sign a letter of guarantee." Check in with Cao Quan, Duan Lian, and Cao Lao... Successfully rewarded with two pieces of Dacron fabric, a pair of white shoes, a military green backpack, an aluminum lunch box, a thermos, a set of dishes, a kettle, and a bright red scarf.]
The rewards for checking in today are all first-class household items.
Song Jiayu put all the things into the warehouse.
The mother and daughter did not hold a tea party with the neighbors, but instead went into the house to chat.
"Why is Duan Lian such a person? How can she go back on her word when she promised someone else?" Zhao Qiuqin was really enlightened when she followed her daughter to the city. The villagers were straightforward. If there was a quarrel, they would just curse and fight. No one would have such deep thoughts as Duan Lian.
"Mom, what do you think? Didn't you see how she dealt with the kid from the Cao family, and also Old Madam Cao? Even though Old Madam Cao curses all day long, isn't it Old Madam Cao who does all the work for the Cao family?" Song Jiayu saw it clearly.
"How can this person be so mean!"
"puff--"
A mouthful of cold tea spurted out.
"Mom, I'm also very thoughtful!"
"cough"
Zhao Qiuqin coughed and said quickly, "I mean bad intentions."
The next day.
Because Song Jiayu had to go to work, she asked her mother to visit the Cao family more often and tell her about the scene of the Duan family causing trouble when she came back.
Who would have thought that it wasn't until she got off work and it was almost time for dinner at home that the Duan family came to visit the Cao family.
Someone on Tenth Street said quietly, "What a shameless person! He comes here specifically to mess with my family, and even comes to have dinner."
A fat lady followed up and said, "When I find a wife for my son in the future, I must find someone whose in-laws are decent people."
Everyone: ...
Feeling that standing on the balcony and eating melons was not enough, Song Jiayu sat on a chair, leaning against the courtyard wall, with only her head exposed, and looked towards the Cao family across the street while eating melon seeds.
It is also said that the three people from the Duan family entered the Cao family and went to the main hall first. They saw the steamed corn bread on the dining table, a bowl of cornmeal porridge, and a plate of scrambled eggs with green beans. They ran to the dining table as if they had not eaten all day. Without saying a word to Cao Quan and Old Mrs. Cao, they took the steamed corn bread in their hands and started to eat it.
Cao family mother and son: ...
Cao Chengcai, who was eating at the dining table, had not even taken a sip of his porridge when Duan Lian, the younger brother of the Duan family who was ten years older than him, took the porridge away and drank it.
"You stole my food!" Cao Chengcai accused.
Duan Cong finished the cornmeal porridge in one breath, and waited for Chengcai, saying rudely: "Get out of here, you little bastard! You don't know how to be filial to your uncle!"
"You are not my uncle, I have my own uncle!"
"Hey, you little bastard, you're looking for a fight!"
Duan Cong, who was about to hit someone, was stopped by Cao Quan. He was not afraid and acted like a brother to Cao Quan, suggesting: "Brother-in-law, this little bastard will never become a useful person unless he is beaten. If you can't bear to teach him a lesson, my brother-in-law is here to help!"
"No need. Chengcai is not your sister's son. He has three uncles of his own. If you beat him up, not only will I beat you up, but his three uncles will also beat you up."
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean? Just because you married my sister, you don't want to be a human being anymore?"
"Then you, the Duan family, must behave like human beings!"
On this side, Cao Quan was having a fight with Duan Cong, and on the other side, Old Lady Cao was holding Xiaoxue, feeling that her family was unfortunate. How could they have found a woman like Duan Lian and have in-laws like the Duan family?
