Lin Yin glanced at the soda in her hand and pursed her lips: "I'm sorry."
Tian Xiaohua shook her head.
The relationship between Lin Yin and Tian Xiaohua returned to what it was before. Tian Xiaohua didn't let Lin Yin help her buy things, and she would go to Lin Yin to learn whenever she had time.
Old Mrs. Lin has been living in Huaiwan Village these days. The villagers are very friendly and the old lady can chat with them here.
"Mom, I brought you some clothes!"
The third family of four came. Wang Feng brought new clothes for the old lady, and Lin Yulai brought gifts.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this year the two families will celebrate it together at the second wife’s house.
Wang Feng said as she took out the old lady's clothes.
"Mom, you've been living a good life with my second brother and his wife. I originally thought I didn't need to bring any clothes, but now I'm worried you'll be cold here, so I think I'll take some."
Mrs. Lin was delighted: "My daughter-in-law is so filial!"
Wang Feng smiled and looked at An Xin: "Sister-in-law, is the meal ready?"
"Not yet."
"Then I'll go with you and do it. I happen to be free."
Before the family split up, it was common for sisters-in-law to cook together.
An Xin agreed: "Okay."
The two sisters-in-law went into the kitchen together, An Xin picked vegetables and Wang Feng washed them.
"Sister-in-law, do you know what's going on in the big house?"
An Xin hasn't been to the village since she came back last time, and she doesn't know what happened to the eldest wife.
"How is it?" An Xin asked casually.
"Chen Hongyan ripped down her big house!"
An Xin paused while picking vegetables, as if she didn't understand what Wang Feng meant. "Huh?"
"Oh, don't you understand?" Wang Feng said, "That's right. The couple has no money to pay back their debts. With their two daughters-in-law, Niu Aihua and Hong Meimei, in charge, Lin Dong and Lin Tong don't dare to help them."
"But the money had to be paid back. There was no other way, so they demolished their house and sold all the bricks they dug out. They also sold the sewing machine that Meimei had bought when she first came into the family. In short, they sold everything they could, and the hole was mostly plugged."
"Oh, and one more thing! After they demolished the house, they dug up several truckloads of dirt. I heard they sold it to a construction site."
Some construction sites require soil.
"They dug a huge hole in their yard, which really pissed Sanying off!"
Only the couple in the eldest house could come up with the idea of demolishing the house and selling bricks to pay off the loan sharking debt.
"But, wasn't that house built by the Niu family for Aihua and Lin Dong?"
Niu Aihua is so angry now. The house built by her own father for her was demolished. It would be strange if she could bear it.
"That's right, Niu Aihua has turned the village upside down!"
Wang Feng danced and described the situation to An Xin.
"Didn't Lin Dong and his wife live in the Niu family? That's why they didn't know about this. A few days ago, when Lin Dong returned to the village to check on the situation, there wasn't even a brick left in the house."
"When Niu Aihua found out, she was so angry she almost strangled Shen Hongyan to death. She had a seizure on the spot and nearly passed away!"
"But what can we do? The house has been robbed, and we have to bear the loss anyway."
Wang Feng sighed.
“How was it resolved after that?”
An Xin asked.
"What else can we do? Niu Zhuangshi has brought a kitchen knife. Even if Lin Dong is unfilial, he can't just watch his own mother being hacked to death by his own father-in-law. After much debating, the two families finally sent Erbao away."
Erbao is the son of Lin Dong and Niu Aihuasheng.
