Upon hearing this, Yinxia felt a ripple in her heart, but she lowered her head and remained silent.
Qiu Dong glanced at Jin Xia, signaling her not to say anything more. Jin Xia said somewhat awkwardly, "What I said was right. Fatty can earn more by digging tree pits in the village than he can as a craftsman!"
Fatty Egg's lips curled up slightly: "Thank you, sister. I still listen to my wife. She said that if I learn a skill, I won't suffer losses in the future. How much money I make depends entirely on my skills. Digging tree pits can't be considered a skill."
Seeing that Yinxia was unhappy, Aunt Liu said, "Alright, stop talking. Let Fatty and Yinxia decide on Fatty's matter."
Jin Xia glanced at Fatty with some disdain and shook her head: "You still have to take care of your grandparents. Don't you know your own situation? I wanted to introduce you to a job, but you didn't even want it. You're really too picky."
Fatty pretended not to hear, but Yinxia said from the side, "Sister, this is our business, so don't worry about it. Although my life is not as good as yours, I believe that we will definitely live better than you in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Jinxia angrily said, "Yinxia, what are you doing? I'm doing this for your own good. How can you be so ungrateful?"
Yinxia sneered, "Don't I know what's good for me?"
Qiu Dong pulled Jin Xia along and hurriedly said, "Never mind, let's go back first. We still have things to do at home."
Aunt Liu glanced at Qiu Dong and couldn't help but praise her: "She's really a good child. How can Jin Xia talk like that? She's just lucky to have met Qiu Dong and have such good in-laws. How come she looks down on Yin Xia now?"
"Alright, they're both daughters. Jinxia is just doing what's best for Yinxia, and she hasn't done anything wrong. Why are you so upset with Jinxia? Jinxia is doing well because of Qiudong, and also because she treats her in-laws well. If things were reversed and Yinxia married Qiudong, who knows how things would turn out?"
Old Liu's words immediately enraged Aunt Liu: "What? You actually spoke up for Jin Xia? I knew it! You only said that because Jin Xia buys you this and that. What's wrong with Yin Xia? She married Fatty, but Fatty is a good kid. How could Jin Xia be so sarcastic towards Yin Xia?"
Old Liu sighed and glanced at Fatty and Yinxia: "Look at the mess this has made. You're angry with your sister now, but she's only doing it for your own good."
Yinxia believed that Old Liu was biased towards Jinxia, and angrily turned and left.
Liang Shuyan saw Qiu Dong and Jin Xia and noticed that Jin Xia looked unhappy. Qiu Dong was following closely behind her. Thinking that something had happened, she went to greet them.
"What's wrong? What's going on with you all?"
Qiu Dong looked up, her face flushed, and said, "It's nothing, Auntie. We just went to my mother-in-law's house and ran into Yin Xia. The two of them had a disagreement about finding work for Pang Dan."
Liang Shuyan didn't know what to say, so she just said "Oh" and then said, "Oh, I see. Then go back and talk to your wife. It's not a big deal. Just don't make her angry."
Autumn Winter responded with a sound of agreement and then said nothing more.
Da Shan saw his mother standing at the door, seemingly lost in thought, and then asked, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened?"
"No, it's nothing, come inside."
Actually, Liang Shuyan was wondering why Jin Xia had changed so much. She had clearly seen her just now, but she hadn't even greeted her. She had a gloomy face and was probably cursing someone in a muffled voice.
Seeing Liang Shuyan deep in thought, Grandma Jin asked, "What's wrong? Something on your mind?"
When Liang Shuyan saw her mother, she told her what had happened. Grandma Jin comforted her, saying, "It's nothing, it's normal. Jin Xia is doing better than Yin Xia now. It's normal for Yin Xia to feel inferior and have different thoughts if Jin Xia says something. However, I heard that Jin Xia's personality has changed a lot since she had a child, and even her relationship with her mother-in-law has changed a lot. Last time, because of this, her mother-in-law was so angry that she went back to her parents' home."
Liang Shuyan frowned and hurriedly asked, "When did this happen, Mother? How come I didn't know?"
"It happened a while ago. In the end, Qiu Dong and Li Zheng went to pick up Li Zheng's wife and bring her back."
Liang Shuyan felt that there must be something wrong with this matter. A few days ago, she met Jiao Shi on the road. Jiao Shi kept her head down and did not say more than a few words to her. At that time, she felt that something was strange, but she did not think it was a big deal and turned away. Now, after the old lady said this, she was a little restless and wanted to go to Li Zheng to find out what was going on.
She happened to have a stewed chicken at home, so she took the chicken and went to Lizheng's house.
Li Zheng was drying cow dung in the yard when he saw her coming. He hurriedly put down what he was doing and said, "Oh, it's her aunt! Come in quickly!"
Liang Shuyan said with a smile, "I heard a while ago that her aunt was not feeling well, but she couldn't come because of the pandemic. Today I just happened to have some free time, so I came to see what's going on?"
"Nothing much, but her aunt is worried about it."
Liang Shuyan followed Li Zheng into the house, and then Jiao Shi came over and said very calmly, "What's wrong? Her aunt is free today, please sit down."
After saying that, Jiao went to the kitchen.
Li Zheng sat on a stool to the side, pointed to the water beside him, and said, "What's going on? Is there something you need, Li Zheng?"
"No, what could it be?" It was clear that Li Zheng had something on his mind, but it wasn't convenient for him to say it now.
Liang Shuyan had no choice but to reveal her purpose. She had seen Jin Xia and Qiu Dong on the way back and wanted to find out what was going on.
Li Zheng then slowly spoke: "Actually, no one can be blamed for this. Jin Xia was indeed a filial child before, but she changed inexplicably later. She always thought about her former husband's family. She even quarreled with my wife because of this. Qiu Dong's mother wanted to divorce Jin Xia right away. If Qiu Dong hadn't stopped her, Jin Xia probably would have divorced her long ago."
Liang Shuyan hadn't expected things to become so complicated. Just then, Jiao Shi came in, placed a plate of pastries on the table, and sighed, "To be honest, you were the one who introduced this marriage to Qiudong. Now that they have a child, Qiudong doesn't want a divorce, but this Jinxia is getting more and more outrageous. She has absolutely no manners. I clearly saw her stealing things from home and sending them to her ex-husband's house, but she still denies it and even tries to persuade my Qiudong to separate from the family. This good-for-nothing is really going to drive me crazy!"
