Chapter 31: Second sister-in-law, do you want to be my home?

After Xu Ping asked that question, the three men sitting in the main room all looked puzzled.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Wang Ziru was even more confused. "The chicken is mine. Do I need to discuss it with you if I want to give it to someone?"

But Xu Ping always believed that the five chickens in the chicken coop were originally the property of the Zhai family.

Even after the family split up, if the Zhai family wanted to eat it, that was fine. It was not the case that they would generously give away a few chickens to outsiders but not let the second brother's family have a sip of chicken soup.

Zhang Kang looked at his old comrade and classmate and asked with a smile, "Old Zhai, whose chicken is it?"

Yesterday, when they met in the town, they talked a lot about their family situations after returning home.

Zhang Kang also heard that the Zhai family split up the night before they returned home.

So, logically speaking, if Wang Ziru wanted to give a chicken to someone else, she certainly wouldn't go to someone else's chicken coop and catch one to give as a gift, right?

"It was distributed to us." Zhai Ximo said calmly.

When the second sister-in-law Xu Ping heard what her brother-in-law meant, she was determined to catch a hen for someone else today.

She also imitated Liu Xiangqin's shamelessness and questioned: "The chickens in the chicken coop belong to this family. Why are they given to outsiders and not to our family?"

"Brother-in-law, you should know that we have been helping to take care of your wife and children during the five years you were away from home."

Zhai Jiahao stood at the door of the east chamber and felt that there was nothing wrong with what his wife said.

The chickens in the chicken coop behind the house should be shared among them.

Instead of letting Wang Ziru casually give the chickens to those unrelated people, the chickens they raised would end up being taken advantage of by others.

Wang Ziru didn't expect that the second brother and his wife didn't learn anything else, but they learned the shameless skills of their eldest sister-in-law Liu Xiangqin.

However, Xu Ping only learned a little bit of Liu Xiangqin's shamelessness.

How shameless of him to do this in front of the guests.

She put down her chopsticks and said, "Second sister-in-law, when the family was divided, the five chickens were given to the third brother. You and the eldest brother got the calf at home. You seem to be saying that I don't usually herd cattle or cut grass?"

"Also, Second Sister-in-law, since you have been given our Third Brother's property, are you interfering in this way? Do you want to take over my family?"

"Do you think you are capable enough to take care of the affairs of our third brother's family?"

In front of the two guests in the main room, Wang Ziru asked three questions in a row.

Since Xu Ping had already made up her mind, it didn't matter whether she saved her face or not. She shouted loudly that she wanted to take out the chicken and divide it again.

And her husband, Zhai Jiahao, had no intention of disciplining his wife.

At this time, Liu Xiulan came out of her room, folded her hands, and scolded: "We are all family. Xu Ping, if you want to eat chicken, just go to the chicken coop and catch one. What are you making a fuss about?"

"Mom! You're the one who said it. I'm going to catch one right now."

Seeing the women in the family getting more and more outrageous because of a few chickens, Zhai Ximo realized more deeply how difficult it was for his wife in this family.

He put down his chopsticks heavily and turned to look at his mother.

"Mom! When the family was divided, the five chickens were clearly given to us as compensation, and the calf was given to my eldest and second brothers. Do you want me to take the calf out of the cowshed and sell it now?"

"How dare you! You bastard! You've only been back for a few days, and you've been corrupted by that bastard."

Liu Xiulan knew that she was in the wrong, so she started to curse at the third child. She then walked out of the living room and disappeared.

The main room was surprisingly quiet.

But Xu Ping didn't want to give up this opportunity. She wanted to drink chicken soup in her dreams. Last month, she was in confinement after giving birth and didn't even have a chance to drink some meat soup to nourish her body.

She ignored her brother-in-law and made a move to catch the hens from the chicken coop behind the house.

Zhai Ximo slowly stood up from the bench, and his tall body immediately covered Xu Ping's sight.

A strong sense of oppression.

Xu Ping was so frightened that she took several steps back.

"Second sister-in-law! Second brother, I'm going to make this clear today. Whoever gets the property, it belongs to him. From now on, everyone should live their own lives and don't make trouble. Otherwise, I'll settle accounts with everyone."

Seeing this, Zhang Kang quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over, "We are a family, stop making trouble."

Zhai Jiahao came over directly and took his wife back to their east room.

Watching her second sister-in-law being taken away, Wang Ziru, who was sitting at the square table eating noodles, couldn't help but laugh.

She motioned the man to sit down and finished her noodles. While eating, she stroked Baoer's little head and sneered, "Second sister-in-law wants to be the police of the Pacific Ocean and intervene in other people's affairs. When the family was divided, I got five chickens. The calf is so valuable that I gave it to the two families. Are you not satisfied?"

"Besides, Brother Ergou, you came here early in the morning to give me a pig's trotter, so what's wrong with me giving you a gift in return?"

Wang Ziru's voice was neither too loud nor too low, just enough for the couple in the east room to hear clearly.

As she wished, the couple in the east chamber heard everything clearly.

Xu Ping rushed out again, her face flushed with anger, and said frantically: "Just wait for me, I will definitely not let you have it easy."

Chen Ergou was frightened by the sisters-in-law of the Zhai family.

He quickly put down his chopsticks and was about to get up and leave, "Big sister, please don't send me anything. I'm going back first."

"Don't be in a hurry!" Wang Ziru motioned Chen Ergou to sit down and eat the noodles slowly before leaving.

At the same time, he looked at the man sitting on the side and said, "Bao'er's father, go to the chicken coop and pick out a bigger hen and bring it back to Brother Ergou. His wife just gave birth to a baby and needs some chicken soup to nourish her body, otherwise the baby won't have milk."

"Well, sit down and eat noodles. I'll go catch some chickens."

Zhai Ximo stretched out his hand, and with just the right amount of force, he pressed Chen Ergou down onto the bench.

He also understood his wife's intentions. The Chen family had a woman who had just given birth, and the whole family squeezed out a pig's trotter from their teeth and sent it to them as a thank you, but Chen's Ergouzi's wife also needed meat to replenish her body.

Zhai Ximo stood up and walked towards the chicken coop behind the house.

Zhang Kang slurped down a bowl of noodles in a few gulps, dropped his chopsticks, and followed his old comrade to the back of the house.

After reaching the back of the house, Zhang Kang looked around.

Seeing that there was no one else around, he walked over to the chicken coop and asked in a low voice, "I've never heard before that your two sisters-in-law are so fierce."

"Yeah. They are used to bullying others. I have just been back for a few days and they are not used to restraining themselves yet." Zhai Ximo said in a deep voice.

"Haha! If they knew that you had been promoted to the head of a regiment and held great power in the army, I wonder if they would be scared to death?"

In the chicken coop, several hens were chased by Zhai Ximo and flew up.

He caught a hen weighing about three pounds, took it out of the chicken coop, and closed the fence door behind him.

"You'd better not let anyone know about what's going on in the army. We just want to have a quiet vacation this time when we come back to visit our relatives. Don't cause any trouble."

Zhang Kang nodded. "I understand. But after the family visit, do you really plan to keep your sister-in-law and nephew at home?"

"No, I will take them and their son with me to the army. Although the living conditions in the army are difficult, no one dares to bully them."

He can work with peace of mind only when his wife and children are under his watch.

Zhang Kang got mad when he heard what his old comrade was thinking. "What should I do? Should I bring the target to the army as well?"

"There are still three months left. You can use this time to report your marriage to the army, and then you can bring your wife to the army." Zhai Ximo looked at the crazy look of his old comrade, thought for a while and said.

"Your idea is good! I will go back and discuss marriage with my partner." Then, Zhang Kang patted Zhai Ximo's shoulder and said with a smile, "Come to my house early for dinner tomorrow. This is the first time my partner comes to my house to see my family. I plan to give her 200 yuan as a betrothal gift."

"If you don't have enough money when you return to the army, you can lend me some first."
