Wang Caifeng didn't want to say hello to Sun Hongmei. The incident at noon yesterday had already been smoothed over by her mother-in-law, and it seemed that she didn't want to mention it to Liu Zhiquan and his brother. Sun Hongmei, on the other hand, pushed all the blame onto Wang Caifeng as soon as Liu Zhishuang asked her about it. It was obvious that she was deliberately trying to stir up trouble!

Last night, Liu Zhiquan scolded Wang Caifeng several times, more times than in the three years of their marriage combined. Wang Caifeng, who had always been very tough in front of Liu Zhiquan, didn't even have the room to talk back, and she was very upset inside.

Wang Caifeng, who still felt that she was right, took two steps back, found a broom, and began to sweep the yard, sweeping from dawn to dawn in the east. She put down the broom and went to mix the chicken feed, but before she finished feeding the chickens, she heard Liu Baoguo crying again, and then she reluctantly returned to the east room.

Wang Caifeng felt that she had worked in vain because she had done all the work that she shouldn't have done, and her mother-in-law didn't even notice. When she entered the room and saw Liu Zhiquan only cared about dressing himself, and let Liu Baoguo kick off the quilt and howl with his belly exposed, she asked angrily: "Why are you only caring about yourself? Why don't you dress the child first?"

Liu Zhiquan's eyebrows were twisted so tightly that they could pinch flies to death: "You think the second son's wife is not making enough trouble, and you want to go back to her parents' home, right?"

These words were like turning off the power, and Wang Caifeng was stumped.

Liu Baoguo finally stopped crying when he saw his mother. He stretched out his two little arms and called for his mother while asking for a hug, which resolved Wang Caifeng's embarrassment. One of them went downstairs to wash himself, while the other took care of the child. No one said anything else.

Just like at the Liu family dinner table, everyone held their own bowls to drink porridge, no one spoke, and no one touched the yellow corn cakes. Xia Juhua glanced at Wang Caifeng, handed a cake to Liu Zhiquan, but Liu Zhiquan didn't take it. She glanced at Sun Hongmei, handed a cake to Liu Zhishuang, who concentrated on drinking porridge and pretended not to see it.

You're both pretty strong-willed, aren't you? Xia Juhua finished the porridge in her bowl in two or three gulps and put her chopsticks on the table, making a slight clinking sound. The two couples and four adults all looked up at her.

"What's wrong with you two?" Xia Juhua stopped looking at her daughter-in-law and only stared at the two children she gave birth to.

Liu Zhiquan slowly put down his bowl: "Mom, I can be full with a bowl of porridge."

Liu Zhishuang said, "I have something to do this morning. I won't be tired from walking a little. I don't need to eat dry food."

Wang Caifeng and Sun Hongmei's faces changed. Xia Juhua also knew that her eldest son was not very smart and wanted to make up for her daughter-in-law, while her clever younger son wanted to take the opportunity to criticize Sun Hongmei.

This is a huge difference from the progress we made in our previous life.

Xia Juhua was happy in her heart, but her face was gloomy: "You have forgotten what I said to you, right? You are all married, but you are still so troublesome. How can you live your life?"

Liu Zhiquan looked at Wang Caifeng with dissatisfaction, took a cake in his hand reluctantly, and seeing that Xia Juhua was staring at him, he slowly put it into his mouth.

When Liu Zhishuang saw his elder brother eating the cake, a smile appeared on his face. He took the cake and said, "If mother is worried about me, then just live with me forever." Liu Zhiquan raised his head suddenly, and Wang Caifeng and Sun Hongmei also looked at Liu Zhishuang, but he was lowering his head to pick up pickles and perfectly missed everyone's gaze.

After dinner, someone from the grain-carrying team came to the gate and called Liu Zhiquan and his brother to go to the grain station together. Liu Zhishuang hesitated and Sun Hongmei could only look at Xia Juhua with a red face. Xia Juhua sighed and asked Liu Zhishuang: "Don't you want to make money anymore? Don't you want to buy the base for me?" Liu Zhishuang got up and followed the grain-carrying team.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was still willing to help her, Sun Hongmei quickly stepped forward and said in a pinched voice: "Mom, I was not sensible last night and made you worry. Don't worry, I will definitely change in the future."

It would have been better if she didn't pinch her throat when she spoke. As soon as she did, Xia Juhua couldn't help but think of her previous life's descendant Sun Hongmei who used the same voice to spread bad things about her in Ping'an Village. It would be strange if she could look happy.

Sun Hongmei thought she had apologized to her mother-in-law. Judging from the situations she had with her mother-in-law in the past few days, her mother-in-law should have said a word or two to reassure her that she didn't take it to heart. But who knew that all she got was silence.

This made Sun Hongmei look up at her mother-in-law's face, and she found that her mother-in-law's face had become gloomy. She shuddered in her heart and dared not speak.

Without the pretentious voice, Xia Juhua felt a lot calmer and glanced at Sun Hongmei: "When are you going back to your parents' home? Zhishuang can't take you there today. Fortunately, it's daytime now, and you walked there many times before you got married, so nothing should happen." Don't act like you are worth so much, it was you who was clinging to Liu Zhishuang before you got married.

Sun Hongmei didn't think about why Xia Juhua said that she came to Ping'an Village before she got married. She just wondered why her mother-in-law mentioned that she went back to her parents' home again. She felt a little wronged. She had clearly expressed her attitude by cooking, but her mother-in-law kept holding on to it. Didn't she have any face?

Xia Juhua didn't care whether Sun Hongmei saved face or not. She just wanted Sun Hongmei to stop bringing things back to her parents' home to scare people - her parents' home couldn't give her any good ideas.

When Xia Juhua frowned, Wang Caifeng felt uncomfortable, but then she saw that her mother-in-law was talking to Sun Hongmei, so she quickly put Liu Baoguo down, put on a smile and said to Xia Juhua, "Mom, Hongmei didn't get enough rest last night, so why don't I go to work today and take care of Baoguo."

"Wait a minute." Xia Juhua didn't say that Wang Caifeng couldn't go to work. She just said, "I have to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy quilts today, so I can't stay at home to watch Baoguo. So I have to ask Sun Hongmei if she is going back to her parents' home. If she is, you don't have to go to work today and stay at home to watch Liu Baoguo."

"My uncle also has to hand in the quilt..." Why not just let him take it? Wang Caifeng once again felt that her mother-in-law had changed. In the past, she always put Liu Baoguo first, but today she ignored the child just to hand in the quilt. It seems that she has to be more careful in the future, lest her mother-in-law really gives up and doesn't care about anything.

Thinking of this, Wang Caifeng pretended to be a good person: "Mom, Hongmei just said it casually last night. How can she go back to her parents' home just like that?"

Sun Hongmei suddenly felt that Wang Caifeng was her biological sister-in-law. No, she was closer than her biological sister-in-law. Otherwise, how could she help her out?

Someone came to the rescue, and Sun Hongmei had to speak up: "Mom, what I said last night was just a joke with Zhishuang. I didn't really mean to go back to my parents' home. Don't worry, I won't joke like this again in the future."

"I'm worried." Xia Juhua didn't cheer up because of Wang Caifeng's persuasion: "You're clamoring to go back to your parents' home right after you got married. What will others think? Am I being harsh on my daughter-in-law, or has Zhishuang done something to let you down, making you feel that you can't live in the Liu family anymore and have to let your parents decide for you?"

Sun Hongmei's clever words were of no use to Xia Juhua's question. She lowered her head and listened to Xia Juhua's words, but could not answer a word for a long time. Xia Juhua glanced at Wang Caifeng again before saying:

"I used to think you were all sensible and filial. Whenever anyone asked about it, you would brag about having two good daughters-in-law. Who knew you were so cunning and wanted to live your own lives with Zhishuang and the other two who were so quick-witted. I understand that, but why don't you tell me clearly? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Mom, I have never thought about dividing the family." Sun Hongmei hurriedly defended herself. She couldn't pretend to be dead this time. If her mother-in-law spread the news, she would have no chance of living in the village.

Wang Caifeng also said hurriedly: "Mom, Zhiquan has already said that he is the eldest and needs to take care of you in your old age. We will not separate from you."

"Whether to divide the family or not, I don't care what you say." Xia Juhua added a sentence, and said to the two of them: "If Sun Hongmei doesn't go back to her parents' home, then don't bring her parents' home to scare people in the future. Otherwise, you just wait and see whether I let Liu Zhishuang go to Sunjiazhuang to pick you up. If he dares to pick you up, we will divide the family directly. Caifeng, you go to the field." After that, she went back to the house to pack her quilts.

Sun Hongmei felt it was difficult to lift her head, and she really wanted to pack her bags and leave. Unfortunately, she could only think about it, and she really couldn't be tough - Liu Zhishuang was obviously not scared by her, and just now he refused to carry the food bag because he was waiting to send Sun Hongmei back to her parents' home.

Both her mother and her aunt told Sun Hongmei that going back to her parents' home would scare her husband, not her mother-in-law. If a man cares about you, he will be anxious when he hears that you are going back to your parents' home, and he will try to pull you and beg you not to go back. But if he doesn't pull you or beg you, it means he doesn't care about you, so you must never go back to your parents' home.

Someone who doesn't care about you won't take the initiative to go to your parents' home to pick you up. Not to mention the mother-in-law who didn't agree with the marriage at first. Sun Hongmei felt that her mother-in-law didn't just say it to scare her. She really dared not to let Liu Zhishuang pick her up.

"Hongmei, Baoguo is going to trouble you." Wang Caifeng knew that it was time to go to work and she couldn't stand in the yard with Sun Hongmei all the time, so she opened her mouth to test Sun Hongmei.

"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Baoguo." Sun Hongmei forced a smile and replied, "When will Baoguo go to bed?"

Wang Caifeng told Sun Hongmei about Liu Baoguo's living habits. In order to prevent Sun Hongmei from taking it out on Liu Baoguo, she quietly flattered Sun Hongmei: "You shouldn't have scolded Zhishuang last night, and you shouldn't have quarreled so loudly. I care about my reputation, and I can't stand hearing people say bad things about the two brothers. You scolded Zhishuang and yelled so loudly that the neighbors could hear it. It would be strange if I wasn't angry."

Sun Hongmei had not expected this to happen. It seemed that she should have discussed this with Liu Zhishuang in secret last night. Now she asked with a pale face, "When will mother calm down?"

"Now that Zhishuang has calmed down, mother has calmed down too. All these years, mother has raised the two brothers alone, and they are everything to her." Wang Caifeng has been married for three years, and she thinks she has understood this point clearly. In order to let Sun Hongmei take good care of her son, she now teaches her everything she has understood.

Sun Hongmei nodded thoughtfully.
