Chapter 96 Where my wife is, that is my home

The time, physical condition, and similarity of voice all overlapped.

The one who attacked her using such despicable means must be this bastard!

Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Auntie Wu, it's not easy for me as her to intervene in my sister-in-law's affairs. You don't have to make excuses for her in the future. She has made her own way. Do you really want you, Auntie Wu, to sacrifice yourself to speak for her when she is like that?"

Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment: "Sacrifice yourself? Juanjuan, I... I just said a few more words, what's the sacrifice?"

Xia Juanjuan said, "Auntie Wu, you have prestige in front of the women in the village because you always tell the truth and never tell lies, slander or smear others. But now, my sister-in-law's matter is obviously true, but you insist on making excuses for her for my sake, saying that others slandered her. Even if the women don't say it, they will think that you are biased. After a long time, they will not talk to you anymore! If it really comes to that, I will feel so sorry!"

As she spoke, she observed Aunt Wu.

Apart from other things, the last time Li Qiaoqiao and her mother Liu Lan made up stories about her, saying that she was shameless and had cheated on her before she got married, not only did they suffer public embarrassment, but she also didn't retaliate properly.

There is no reason to let her take advantage of me now and have Aunt Wu speak for her!

Aunt Wu's heart sank.

No wonder Aunt Wang and Aunt Li next door, who like gossip as much as she does, kept silent when they saw her. It turns out that this is the crux of the problem!

"Oh! I was wondering why people have been looking at me and not saying anything recently! Juanjuan, luckily you woke me up! Because of that little whore, I have lost all my prestige for many years? I will never speak for her again!"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xia Juanjuan smiled and chatted a few more words, then stood up and said goodbye.

At the same time, on Li Zhan's side, Liu Lan came to the door, three parts happy, seven parts aggrieved and said: "Zhan'er, you are back for the New Year this year? Why didn't you come to my room to tell me when you came back? And your second brother and his wife also miss you every day... I know, it must be your wife who won't let you... Alas! Your wife..."

Li Zhan was not polite and interrupted her with a faint smile: "Mom, my wife is very good. She has never said anything bad about you! I didn't go there. It was my own will. I got married and also divided the family. From now on, where my wife is is my home. It's not right for me not to go back to my own home during the New Year, right?"

Liu Lan was thwarted and felt so angry that she almost passed out, but she didn't dare show it on her face.

Last time, because of the salesperson incident, she almost angered her third son and made him break off the relationship with her. And that was just a hundred work points a month!

The fourth son gets ten dollars a month! If there is a quarrel and all the money is gone, it will be a big loss.

Sigh...it's hard to deal with these kids when they grow up, so annoying!

"Zhan'er, you misunderstood. Mom didn't say bad things about your wife. Mom just... Hey! When you come home, you should come to my room and sit for a while, right? Otherwise, if others find out, won't they say that you got married and forgot your mother? They will say that your wife is so powerful and secretly instigated you to do this?"

Li Zhan was not afraid that the villagers would say that he had "forgotten his mother after marrying a wife". Anyway, he thought that he had done more than he should and did not owe Liu Lan anything.

But thinking of Xia Juanjuan's reputation, it was just a one-time visit, so Liu Lan might have some ulterior motive. He wouldn't be fooled that easily anyway.

So, he still smiled and said, "Okay. I'll go sit in your room."

The three little guys would never go to Liu Lan's room no matter how hard they tried. Now when they saw Liu Lan, they even refused to call her grandma.

Although they were young, they could still tell who was good to them. In the past, when they were in the second aunt's room and the second aunt beat them, Liu Lan said something openly or secretly to report them, so that the second aunt would beat them even harder!

Therefore, they all buried their heads in writing in the house and did not follow.

Li Zhan entered Liu Lan's room and didn't sit down, but stood and talked.

Li Qiaoqiao was washing clothes. When she saw Li Zhan, she just looked up and then lowered her head without even saying hello.

Li Qiaoqiao is nineteen years old, five years younger than Li Zhan. When they were young, Liu Lan was partial to her, so Li Qiaoqiao became very arrogant and domineering.

When she was seven years old, she stole a dollar from home. After being discovered, she lied and said that Li Zhan asked her to steal it, which resulted in Li Zhan being beaten.

Li Zhan didn't make any excuses at the time, but a few days later, he cornered Li Qiaoqiao in a deserted place and gave her a good beating.

He was not afraid that Li Qiaoqiao would complain again, so he said with a smile, "Go ahead and complain. I'll beat you up every time you complain, and the beating will only be more painful than this time, not lighter. You can decide for yourself."

Li Qiaoqiao was scared after being beaten, so she dared not provoke Li Zhan again. She avoided Li Zhan for many years and didn't even dare to speak to him.

Liu Lan was furious: "Qiaoqiao! You kid! Didn't you see your fourth brother is here? You didn't even say hello!"

Li Qiaoqiao glanced at her mother, then went out with the basin to hang out the clothes.

Li Zhan listened to Liu Lan's chatter while occasionally glancing at the clothes that Li Qiaoqiao had hung out to dry - men's clothes.

Then his eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked at a button missing from a coat.

"Mom, I really don't know who the fence is for! Last time she came back from Beijing to see you, the candies and snacks she bought were eaten by even strangers in the village, but I, as your mother-in-law, didn't even see a trace of them! Alas! This year is so tight, it's already the 27th of December, and your second brother hasn't even cut the pork yet! I just saw you guys killed a chicken? Zhan'er, look at the ten yuan this month... Can you increase it a little? Or since you're back this year, the army must have given you an extra visit allowance, right? You can give mom some more..."

Li Zhan interrupted Liu Lan and said, "Mom, Qiaoqiao, whose clothes are you washing?"
