This way.

Lu Guozhi grabbed a big rooster from the chicken coop, and Lu Qingyuan was responsible for plucking the chicken's feathers.

Guan Ailian chopped the chicken into pieces, mixed it with starch and fried it in a pan. She also asked Lu Xingxing to pick some wild Amaranth and rolled out a large pot of chicken noodles.

Ma Xiuzhu stayed in the room and didn't get out of bed. Lu Qingyuan brought her meals to her bedside. She habitually stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks and found chicken pieces in it. She immediately started shouting at the top of her voice.

"Can't you just live like that? You're eating noodles and chicken. Are you planning to finish all the food in your house and die soon?"

These chickens were Ma Xiuzhu's favorites. She was reluctant to kill them for food during the Chinese New Year. Later, she couldn't persuade her husband and killed one with an ugly tail.

She didn't dare feed the chickens the rice that had been contaminated with rat poison, for fear of poisoning the chickens to death.

She almost died but she was reluctant to eat a chicken to replenish her body. However, Yang Niannian, on the other hand, served the chicken that she had raised with great effort to the table as her first meal after returning.

She has lived half her life and has never enjoyed such treatment.

Lu Qingyuan's face darkened. His mother's words were too harsh. "Dad killed him."

His father knew that his mother was reluctant to kill the chicken, so he killed it without telling her. Aren’t chickens raised for food?

My brother and sister-in-law are back now, and there is not much meat at home. What's wrong with killing a chicken?

Ma Xiuzhu's eyes widened in anger. "Why did your father kill this chicken? This is the chicken I raised. Has he ever fed it chicken feed?"

Lu Qingyuan looked embarrassed, "Mom, please keep your voice down. The chicken has been killed. If you make such a loud noise, my sister-in-law will hear us. How can we eat well?"

Ma Xiuzhu seemed to be ignited by someone. Not only did she lower her voice, but she also made it louder.

"Why should I keep my voice down? I just want to shout loudly to see who is so greedy that he wants to eat the chickens I raise right after he comes back."

Ma Xiuzhu's voice was like a thunderclap. It was hard for Yang Niannian not to hear it. She also knew that the words were meant for her.

She thought it was funny. She wasn't the only one eating the chicken. Even though she wasn't allowed to, she insisted on eating it. She didn't care what Ma Xiuzhu said.

Seeing that his wife was getting more and more outrageous, Lu Guozhi didn't stop talking. He glanced at Yang Niannian and said, "Don't worry about her. Just eat. I'll go in and take a look."

He had just stood up and hadn't even reached the door when Ma Xiuzhu came out of the house angrily, holding a bowl and chopsticks, with a look in her eyes that looked like she wanted to eat him.

Lu Qingyuan also chased out of the house. Fearing that Ma Xiuzhu would attack Yang Niannian, he quickly stood in front of Ma Xiuzhu.

"Mom, the chicken has already been killed, why are you still making a fuss? Just eat your noodles!"

Ma Xiuzhu cursed, "Eat your ass! You guys are banding together to piss me off to death, right? No one can eat today. I'm going to smash the pot right now."

Although she said this, she held the bowl very steadily in her hand, afraid of spilling any noodle soup.

Hearing this, Lu Xingxing quickly leaned into Yang Niannian's ear and said, "Aunt, eat quickly, grandma is going to smash the pot."

As she spoke, she quickly slurped the noodles into her mouth. It was so hard to have a good meal, she couldn't waste it.

Guan Ailian was wiping her youngest son's mouth. When she heard that the pot was about to be lifted, she quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks, not caring about the burnt mouth, and ate very quickly.

Seeing that his wife was not stopping, Lu Guozhi frowned and scolded, "What are you arguing about? It's just killing a chicken. I killed it. Why are you angry at me?"

Ma Xiuzhu's face was ferocious. She pointed at Lu Guozhi's nose and cursed with saliva flying everywhere.

"Lu Guozhi, you have become more capable, haven't you? You dared to kill my chicken today, will you kill me tomorrow? You are not killing the chicken, you are taking my life. I have spent most of my life with you, when have you ever been so nice to me? Your daughter-in-law came back, and you killed my big rooster for the first meal. Are you going to cut off my meat and make soup for her tomorrow?"

Lu Guozhi's cheeks swelled up with anger, as if his skin would burst in the next second.

He was the head of the family after all. He killed a chicken and his wife yelled at him in front of his son and daughter-in-law. Where could he save his face?

If it gets out, others will laugh at him behind his back for being a coward.

"If you keep making trouble like this, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce now."

He shouted the word "divorce" very loudly and divided the couple's property in a formal manner.

"Go back to your mother's house. Take whatever you want from the house. The house was left by Shi Shen to Guo Qing. It has nothing to do with you. Most of the family savings have been spent on your gastric lavage. You can take whatever is left."

Ma Xiuzhu was stunned. She never thought that Lu Guozhi, who had been honest all his life, would ask for a divorce from her.

She always talked about it before, but it was just talk. She never thought about getting a real divorce.

Now that her parents are dead, where is her mother’s home?

Besides, who in the whole village has a better life than her?

She is so old, who would want a divorce?

Lu Guozhi has already divided up the property, does this mean he really wants a divorce?

Looking at her son and daughter-in-law, none of them tried to persuade Lu Guozhi. She cursed them in her heart as a bunch of heartless people, but dared not say a word.

The person who was like a cannon just now suddenly became quiet.

He put the dishes on the table with a sullen face, moved a stool and sat down, and spoke in a softer tone as if he had become a different person.

"Why get a divorce? How old are you? You don't mind it, but I do. You want to get a divorce just to eat a chicken, don't you want to be laughed at by others? Eat your noodles quickly, or they will get mushy and taste bad."

After saying that, he lowered his head and began to eat the noodles with big slurps, as if everything that had just happened didn't exist.

Lu Qingyuan and Guan Ailian were both dumbfounded. When did his father become so angry?

A gleam of light flashed in Yang Niannian's eyes. Her father-in-law finally had a hold on her mother-in-law.

Lu Guozhi had the upper hand and was very proud. He glanced at his eldest son and said, "Sit down and eat."

The small octagonal table was already a bit crowded for three adults and three children, and there was no room for Lu Guozhi and his son.

Yang Niannian stood up with the bowl and chopsticks, "Father-in-law, please sit here. I'm full."

Guan Ailian came back to her senses, "Sister-in-law, why did you only eat one bowl? Eat more, there's plenty in the pot."

Before Yang Niannian could say anything, Ma Xiuzhu said with a straight face, "Don't force yourself to eat if you're full. You won't be able to digest too much."

Damn girl.

He said he came back to see her, but he didn't even buy her an onion and even ate her chicken. He is really a living devil.

If she had known this earlier, she would rather lose the betrothal money than let Yang Niannian marry her.

Yang Niannian originally didn’t plan to eat it. She ate a lot of meat on a daily basis and wasn’t greedy at all.

After hearing what Ma Xiuzhu said, he went to get another half bowl of rice and deliberately put the chicken on the noodles, which made Ma Xiuzhu very angry.

The whole family ate up a big pot of noodles without leaving any.

Ma Xiuzhu was afraid that chickens would be killed again at night, so she didn't lie down and went straight to guard the chicken coop. If anyone dared to kill chickens again, she would fight to the death.

Guan Ailian cleared the dishes and pulled Yang Niannian to the west room. "My mother-in-law values ​​those chickens more than her life... I never thought my father-in-law would file for divorce. I guess he has had enough of my mother-in-law over the years."

Yang Niannian, "My mother-in-law didn't give my father-in-law any face in front of the whole family. My father-in-law, who is so obsessed with face that he suffers in his life, definitely can't stand it."

It is a terrible thing when an honest person explodes.
