The Chang sisters were full of complaints when they heard that Chang Xingwang had gone back to work.
Like Zhou Hongyu's relatives, they all thought that Chang Xingwang hadn't returned for five years and was probably dead, but they never expected him to still be alive!
It's good that they're alive. Although my second brother isn't very capable and hasn't been able to transfer back to Beijing yet, he knows a lot of people. They rushed back so that Chang Xingwang could introduce some useful connections to her husband/son.
Don't think they don't know that when their third brother graduated from the Workers' and Peasants' University, he almost lost his spot to a classmate with connections. In the end, he was able to keep his job thanks to his second brother's help.
The Chang sisters were making a racket in the courtyard, and Zhou Hongyu, lying in bed covered with a quilt, couldn't even rest. The more she listened, the more annoyed she became.
She jumped out of bed, flung open the door, and yelled at the two men, "Get out—"
Who is she? The infamous shrew from Shuangdong Hutong!
Go looking for trouble in front of her is like wanting to die sooner!
"Second sister-in-law..." Chang Meihua was both timid and resentful.
"Xingwang's wife, who offended you? We were just talking in the yard. Don't be so domineering!" Chang Lanhua was furious.
As the eldest daughter in the family, she was valued by her parents and respected by her brothers and sisters. Yet, Zhou Hongyu dared to point her finger at her and curse her from the moment she married into the family!
Furthermore, Zhou Hongyu's youngest daughter took away Granny Chang, who was a laborer, from her house, leaving her with no choice but to personally serve her daughter-in-law, causing chaos in the whole family. All of this was Zhou Hongyu's fault!
Chang Lanhua's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
Chang Meihua saw this and lowered her head to hide the smile on her lips.
Let's fight! Let's fight!
At this moment, Granny Chang rushed over and hugged Chang Lanhua, calling out to Chang Meihua, "Meihua, keep an eye on your older sister!"
The second child had just returned to work when a fight broke out at home; that's very unlucky.
"Mom, with me here, she won't be able to run rampant in our house!" Chang Lanhua was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she rolled up her sleeves and was ready to fight.
Come on—
"Who's afraid of who?" Zhou Hongyu strode over with imposing confidence.
Startled, Granny Chang grabbed Chang Lanhua by the waist and dragged her outside. Neighbors who had come to watch the commotion also helped to persuade Chang Lanhua.
If we've known each other for decades, we all know each other. This whole thing is definitely because Chang Lanhua ran back to her parents' home and became a troublemaker. Only the old couple in the Chang family are fooling themselves, thinking that Chang Lanhua and her sister are of pure and good nature!
Zhou Hongyu was feeling annoyed and frustrated. Seeing that Chang Lanhua was being entangled, she decided to let her go. She figured it was better to go back to her room and relax than waste her energy on her, so as not to affect her appetite that night.
Granny Chang used all her strength to hold down her eldest daughter, who was still angry.
During this time, Chang Meihua remained incorrigible and would occasionally add fuel to the fire.
The neighbors shook their heads as they looked at the two daughters of the Chang family.
This child isn't a caring and warm little cotton-padded jacket; she's a sinful offspring from a past life!
Sun Yanxia rushed back and heard that Chang Lao Er had already gone back to work. She was so remorseful that she wanted to slap herself a few times.
Chang Guofu repeatedly told her that if she could build a good relationship with Chang Lao Er, she would have a bright future!
Chang Guofu vaguely knew that his second brother's identity was not simple, but what he hoped for most was that Chang Xingwang would stay on the frontier forever and dedicate himself to the cause, so that he, as Chang Xingwang's younger brother, could naturally get more benefits.
When Sun Yanxia saw her two aunts walking out of the alley with cold faces, she smiled and went up to greet them, but they ignored her.
...
The smile froze on his face.
At this moment, Granny Liu praised her loudly: "I think Yanxia is the best of the three daughters-in-law of the Chang family. Chen Zhaodi is a devil from her own family, she speaks unpleasantly and is not very bright. Zhou Hongyu's family is powerful, she has a bad temper and is domineering. Yanxia is different. The third daughter-in-law is a university teacher and a cultured person. In the future, the elderly couple of the Chang family will only be able to rely on the third daughter-in-law and her husband to take care of them!"
Sun Yanxia's carefully maintained smile crumbled instantly.
Can you swallow that last sentence? Who cares about taking care of those two old geezers in their old age?
Zhou Hongyu dozed off in her room for a while, and when she came out again, the kitchen was already busy preparing dinner.
Sun Yanxia wanted to get closer to her when she saw her, but Zhou Hongyu went straight to Chen Zhaodi.
"Sister-in-law, could you please go pick something up for me after work tomorrow?"
Chen Zhaodi stopped what she was doing, wiped her hands, and asked, "What benefit could I possibly get?"
Without fodder, this nuclear-powered donkey can't be harnessed.
"It's all clothes. I brought them back and will give you a few pieces you want!"
"It's a deal!" Chen Zhaodi agreed without hesitation.
She could get several pieces of clothing in one trip; only someone as generous as Zhou Hongyu could give her such a great deal.
Sun Yanxia frowned as she watched the two talking. It seemed that her ears hadn't misled her; the relationship between the two had changed so much that she could hardly recognize them.
This can't go on!
She didn't want to see her two sisters-in-law getting along so well, excluding her from the conversation.
Sun Yanxia squeezed next to them, trying to join their conversation, but her usually eloquent tongue found no use.
Sun Yanxia's face darkened.
This is a huge problem!
After dinner, Sun Yanxia, who had been extremely disgusted with Shuangdong Hutong, a place inhabited only by ordinary people, sat down with a thick skin.
Getting free food and drinks is secondary.
The key is to force Zhou Hongyu to do favors for her in front of her in-laws.
"Second sister-in-law, I heard that your cousin owns a dried goods store. A friend of mine wants to borrow a place to set up a stall. How about we borrow the space in front of your cousin's store?"
Zhou Hongyu put down her chopsticks. "Your friend?"
Haha, isn't the person who borrowed this place the third daughter of Granny Liu from the opposite courtyard, Liu Yuting, an unemployed vagrant who returned to the city after being sent to the countryside?
My rival in love is, in fact, the younger sister of Chang Xingwang's rumored white moonlight!
