3 p.m.
Lei Aiguo and Feng Zhaodi finally returned to Fengjia Village, dusty and tired from their journey, pushing their handcart.
As soon as the two of them appeared at the village entrance, they were immediately spotted by the villagers who were working in the fields, and they shouted loudly.
"Hey everyone, come quick! Feng Dachuan's son-in-law has arrived! They've really come!"
"Really? Feng Dachuan's son-in-law has really arrived? My goodness, he really has! He even brought his luggage. It seems he's determined to become a live-in son-in-law."
"Lei Aiguo, I really didn't expect you to become a live-in son-in-law, I really didn't expect that, haha."
"A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family is not even as good as a dog. I don't know if Lei Aiguo has lost his mind or what. Isn't the Lei family highly sought after now? They were even given a plaque by the First Military Region, saying they are a family of special meritorious officials. With such a glorious family, why would he want to run away?"
"Who knows? Anyway, I never expected that Lei Aiguo would actually become a live-in son-in-law. He's really crazy."
"Who says otherwise? I heard that Feng Dachuan and his gang have already made plans on how to mistreat Lei Aiguo, their son-in-law who has come to live with them."
Immediately, the topic became the subject of much discussion.
They stopped working in the fields and went to the roadside, pointing and whispering about Lei Aiguo, showing him no respect whatsoever.
It could be said that they ruthlessly trampled him into the ground.
The men of Fengjia Village, in particular, felt that Lei Aiguo had utterly disgraced them as men.
Why not be a perfectly good man? Why choose to be a live-in son-in-law?
That's really messed up.
Upon hearing these words, Lei Aiguo's expression changed constantly, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
Feng Zhaodi angrily retorted to these people: "What are you doing? I think you're just jealous that I married a man."
"If any of your daughters could marry a man like me..."
"If you're incompetent, then shut up here."
Feng Zhaodi's words offended quite a few people, and someone immediately retorted: "Hehe, Feng Zhaodi, what you said is really funny. Everyone knows that women are a money-losing commodity. Which of our families doesn't marry off their daughters as soon as they reach marriageable age?"
"After all, in which family isn't the male heir responsible for carrying on the family line? It's ridiculous!"
"You've come back at this time, is it to help your family continue its lineage?"
Upon hearing this, someone exclaimed again, "Oh dear, now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible. After all, everyone knows that Feng Yaozu has been married for two years, but his wife hasn't gotten pregnant at all. Rumor has it that there's something wrong with their health, which is why they can't conceive."
"I guess that's why Feng Zhaodi, who has been married for so many years, is now coming back, and even bringing a son-in-law with her. Maybe it's because Feng Yaozu can't have children."
Upon hearing their words, Feng Zhaodi's face turned extremely ugly. She shouted at them, "What nonsense are you spouting here?"
“We came back to save our lives, not because my brother can’t have children. Don’t talk nonsense here.”
Lei Aiguo also said angrily, "That's right, my wife and I came back really to escape, to save our own lives."
"If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense here."
"Heh, to save your life? Becoming a live-in son-in-law to save your life? Who would believe that?" someone in the crowd retorted.
In their view, this was utter nonsense.
