As Yang Niannian entered Wang Kun's yard with dumplings, she heard a quarrel coming from the house.

"We are neighbors, so what if I borrow some vinegar? Isn't that how people in the countryside live? At most, we can just buy some vinegar and return it to her. It's not a big deal."

Hu Qiaomei didn't realize that she was wrong at all.

Seeing that she was still stubborn and refused to admit her mistake, Wang Kun became furious, but he did not dare to speak too loudly for fear of being heard.

"We're having some cabbage fried with tofu, why are you borrowing vinegar for that? If you want to borrow vinegar, why are you going to the door of someone else's main room instead of going to the kitchen?"

While he was cooking in the kitchen, Hu Qiaomei took her child to Captain Lu's house. Just thinking about it made her want to beat him up.

Hu Qiaomei said confidently, "The kid is greedy and wants to eat something good. What can I do? It's because you are incompetent and earn too little. If our family is as well off as Captain Lu's family, we can eat whatever we want. Why would the kid be greedy for other people's food?"

Before Wang Kun could say anything, she continued, "Captain Lu just looks down on you. He invited so many people to dinner, why didn't he invite you? Our family is a neighbor to his."

"Shut up." Wang Kun pointed at her and growled, his arms shaking with anger, "If you dare to do something like this again, go back home."

Hu Qiaozhen stood at the door holding her niece, not knowing what to do. She was afraid that her brother-in-law would take action, so she quickly interrupted.

"Sister, you did something wrong. You should apologize to your brother-in-law and promise not to do such a thing again in the future."

Hu Qiaomei was also afraid that her husband would really ask her to go back to her hometown, so she quickly admitted her mistake.

"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal, is it necessary to get so angry? Can't I just not go to Captain Lu's house in the future? I went to her house to visit, wasn't it also to build a good relationship with Yang Niannian?"

Wang Kun was very angry at his wife's perfunctory attitude. He realized at this time that his wife's brain was different from that of normal people. No matter how much he said, it would be useless.

He always gives in verbally, but never changes his evil ways.

When Yang Niannian heard the noise in the house quiet down, she stood at the door and called out, "Captain Wang, my family cooked some dumplings. Send them over for the children to try."

Wang Kun hurried out, not knowing whether Yang Niannian had heard what they had just quarreled about. He looked a little embarrassed. Before he could say anything, Hu Qiaomei squeezed out of the room.

When he saw that Yang Niannian really brought the dumplings, his eyes lit up and he quickly took the bowl from Yang Niannian's hand.

"Thank you! My child just wanted to eat more, but this bowl may not be enough for two children, as they have a big appetite."

Wang Kun's eyebrows jumped and he glared at Hu Qiaomei, "What are you talking about? How much can a child eat?"

It was obvious that she was dissatisfied with the little that Yang Niannian brought. Yang Niannian pretended not to understand what she meant.

"There are many people at my house today, and there are not enough bowls. Pour the dumplings into your bowl and free up my bowl so I can take them back."

Wang Kun was afraid that his wife would say something to embarrass him again, so he quickly spoke to Hu Qiaozhen.

"Qiaozhen, go to the kitchen and get a big bowl."

Hu Qiaozhen responded, quickly took a ladle from the kitchen, poured the dumplings into it, and returned the bowl to Yang Niannian.

Wang Kun sent Yang Niannian to the gate of the courtyard with a grateful look on his face, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for what happened today. I'll come to apologize another day."

Yang Niannian said calmly, "That's not necessary. If the child wants to eat dumplings, just say it openly. I'm not the kind of person who would be stingy with a bowl of dumplings. There's no need to use some tricks. Everyone sitting in the room is discerning and not everyone can fool them."

Wang Kun nodded with a blushing face, "Sister-in-law is right."

He had no choice but to find a daughter-in-law like Hu Qiaomei.

At this moment, Wang Kun regretted very much that he should not have listened to his parents and found such a wife. To be honest, he would rather be single.

Yang Niannian originally wanted to leave, but then she remembered something and reminded herself.

"The couple should talk it out. Captain Wang, please don't get carried away and do anything that violates discipline. Shi Shen has issued an order prohibiting domestic violence before."

The New Year is almost coming to an end, and she doesn't want to hear Hu Qiaomei crying for her parents. Just based on Hu Qiaomei's personality, if Wang Kun really does something, Hu Qiaomei will definitely run to her house.

Wang Kun looked embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't beat my wife."

"That's good."

Yang Niannian walked out of the fenced yard.

When Wang Kun returned home, he saw Hu Qiaomei eating with chopsticks and occasionally feeding her son a bite. Her daughter looked at her eagerly, but she turned a blind eye.

In just a few minutes, she had already eaten half of the bowl of dumplings.

Seeing Wang Kun coming back, Hu Qiaomei complained, "Captain Lu's wife is so stingy. She only gave us a bowl of dumplings for a large family, which is not enough to fill our stomachs."

Wang Kun was too lazy to reason with her, so he snatched the chopsticks away and turned to Hu Qiaozhen.

"Qiaozhen, bring another bowl and chopsticks over and share the dumplings with the two kids."

Although Hu Qiaomei had some opinions in her heart, she knew that her husband was angry and did not dare to confront him.

The food had already been cooked in the kitchen, and Hu Qiaozhen served it out and brought it to the table.

"Brother-in-law, sister, don't be angry, eat quickly! If you don't eat, the food will get cold."

Although Wang Kun was angry, he didn't lose his temper at his sister, but the expression on his face was still a little bit unsightly.

Hu Qiaomei had just eaten dumplings, and now she felt that the cabbage and tofu had no taste at all. While Wang Kun was not paying attention, she picked up a dumpling from her daughter's bowl and put it into her mouth.

Just when she was about to pick up the second one, Wang Kun glared at her and she pulled her hand back.

Find a topic to ask, "Didn't you say you would introduce Qiaomei to Captain Qi? Why didn't you respond? Don't delay for too long or someone else will get there first."

When Hu Qiaozhen heard this, her face turned red and she almost buried her head in the bowl.

Wang Kun said with a straight face, "Captain Qi is not a bad person, but he spread some rumors with Teacher Zhou before, which caused quite a stir."

He looked at Hu Qiaozhen and said, "Qiaozhen, think it over carefully. If you are willing, I will invite him to my house for a meal. Don't bring this up to get angry with him in the future."

Before Hu Qiaozhen could answer, Hu Qiaomei spoke first.

"What's the big deal? Mom wanted to introduce Qiaozhen to a second-married man who butchers pigs in town. No matter how good Captain Qi is, he's better than that, right?"

Wang Kun glared at her, "I'm asking Qiaozhen a question, don't interrupt."

Hu Qiaomei was unhappy. "Okay, then let Qiaozhen speak. Qiaozhen, tell me if you mind or not. I'm telling you, if you mind, you can pack up and go home to marry a second-married man who kills pigs! I don't care about your affairs anymore."

Hu Qiaozhen bit her lip and said with a red face, "Brother-in-law, as long as Captain Qi is a down-to-earth person, I don't mind."

Hu Qiaomei was so proud, "Did you hear that? Qiaozhen has no objection."

Wang Kun said with a stern face, "Then I'll invite Captain Qi to come over for dinner. It's up to you whether we can be attracted to each other or not."
