Chapter 40 What a Disgrace

Zhai Qingsong and his wife started arguing in the main room.

Several children in the family stood at the door of the main room watching the excitement.

In the east compartment, the second son, Zhai Jiahao, and his wife were getting ready to go out to plow the cornfield.

When he came out, he saw his eldest brother and his wife fighting in the main room. Zhai Jiahao hurried forward to separate them, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Why don't you mind my business!" Liu Xiangqin was so angry that she had no place to vent. She turned around and spit on the second brother's face.

Xu Ping followed behind and walked out of the east chamber. Seeing the eldest son and his wife in such a stalemate, she guessed that it must be related to the third son's wife.

She saw her man being yelled at by her sister-in-law for no reason, but instead of getting angry, she added fuel to the fire, "Sister-in-law, what are you dissatisfied with your brother about? Why are you taking your anger out on Jiahao?"

"Who asked him to meddle in other people's business!" Liu Xiangqin struggled to break free from Zhai Qingsong's big hand.

"Why is Jiahao meddling in other people's business? Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad to you as your sister-in-law, but look at the third brother and his wife, they have plenty of food and soup, and not only that, people in the village have already sent food to the third brother, you should learn from them."

Normally, Zhai Qingsong didn't like his sister-in-law Xu Ping very much. He frowned and said, "Nothing! Go and do your own thing."

Zhai Jiahao didn’t know if the women in his family had been possessed by evil spirits recently. One of them was making trouble today, and another one was making trouble tomorrow.

However, it looks like the eldest sister-in-law is going to the third brother's room...

Zhai Jiahao was thinking secretly in his heart when he saw his eldest sister-in-law Liu Xiangqin break free from the shackles of her eldest brother and turn around and walk towards the side room at the back of the house.

Now, the three brothers have communicated privately.

Anything can be discussed at home, but what is my sister-in-law doing?

Zhai Jiahao quickly winked at his eldest brother, "Brother! What's wrong with the eldest sister-in-law today? Is she going to make trouble at home again?"

"Can't you see that my sister-in-law is feeling unbalanced?" Xu Ping pretended to sympathize with her uncle, shook her head, and pushed her husband, "Jiahao, stop looking. The third brother is back, and no one in this family can cause trouble."

Even the mother-in-law is afraid of the third child's power.

Liu Xiangqin is nothing.

Zhai Qingsong watched his wife angrily go to the side room at the back of the house, and he hurriedly followed her.

Before he could catch up.

Then he heard his wife standing outside the third brother's room, pointing at him and loudly questioning him: "Third brother! I'm warning you, don't think that just because you're a soldier in the army, you can tell your eldest brother what to do."

In the house, Wang Ziru had just returned home and wanted to lie down for a while.

I was lying on the soft bed, watching the man change his clothes in the house, and then go to the mountains to chop firewood.

Liu Xiangqin suddenly appeared at their door, with a ferocious look on her face, as if she wanted to eat someone, and pointed at her brother-in-law in the room and questioned loudly.

Baoer was holding a small windmill and circling around his father.

Hearing the sound of his aunt suddenly appearing outside the door, the little boy was so scared that he hurried to the bed, leaned in front of his mother, and stared at the door.

The young man in the room, who had just taken off his military coat and was now dressed in a neat military uniform, suddenly turned around, and the family of three all looked at their sister-in-law at the door in confusion.

"What the hell is this woman doing today?" Wang Ziru lay on her side on the bed, holding her cheek, and slowly looked at the woman outside the door, "Sister-in-law, are you looking for Bao'er's father?"

At this time, Zhai Jiahao followed Zhai Qingsong to the back of the house to try to stop the fight.

The two men saw the third son's wife lying leisurely on the bed, like a queen.

Zhai Jiahao looked at his eldest brother and hurriedly advised, "Sister-in-law, the third brother and his wife are in their own room every day, living their lives, and they haven't told your eldest brother anything. If you make a fuss like this, it won't be good if it gets out, right?"

"Walk!"

Zhai Qingsong reached out and pulled Liu Xiangqin.

But Liu Xiangqin pushed him away, "Second brother, shut up!"

Turning around, Liu Xiangqin glared at the couple in the room and said viciously, "Third brother! I'm making this clear today. Going home to visit your family is your business! Don't think your eldest brother can still work like a slave for you!"

"No, sister-in-law, what you said is too serious. The third brother really didn't say anything special to the eldest brother!" Zhai Jiahao was amused by the stupid woman in front of him.

While Zhai Ximo was tidying up his military uniform, he glanced at his elder brother meaningfully and walked to the door.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something. At noon, the three brothers were standing outside the yard chatting. They were very conspicuous and probably everyone in the village could see this scene.

Did the sister-in-law think that the three of them had some private conversation?

"Sister-in-law, the three of us were chatting at the gate of the yard earlier. Do you think I said something to my eldest brother?"

Liu Xiangqin's red face froze, and she waved her big hand, "I don't care what you said! But I warn you, don't expect your elder brother to help you with the work, go and plant the dry land in your family by yourselves."

Xu Ping, who came over to join in the fun, couldn't make any sense out of Liu Xiangqin's scolding.

But when she heard her say turning the soil, Xu Ping immediately became alert.

She pulled Zhai Jiahao's arm and scolded him, "Zhai Jiahao, we are so busy with our own family affairs that you can't even take care of them. Don't just blindly agree to work for the third brother! You have four mouths to feed in your family. If you work for others every day, what will you eat and drink?"

Zhai Jiahao didn't expect that Xu Ping was as short-sighted as Liu Xiangqin.

I wanted to bang my head against the door.

From this perspective, the third daughter-in-law is sensible and would never be suspicious without reason and cause trouble at home.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ping also saw Wang Ziru lying leisurely on the bed, and her heart suddenly felt even more uncomfortable than Liu Xiangqin.

The two families ate simple meals and had endless farm work to do every day.

The third brother and his wife live a comfortable life these days.

Zhai Ximo understood why his two sisters-in-law came to his room to make a scene.

He looked at his two brothers.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't worry, I didn't ask them to help me plow the soil. I can plow the land in the back mountain in half a day, and Bao'er's mother only needs to sit on the edge of the field and look after the child..."

Wang Ziru almost laughed out loud when she heard the second half of the man's words.

"Could this man have gotten the script for the model husband of future generations?!"

Liu Xiangqin and Xu Ping felt bored and turned away angrily.

This incident made Zhai Qingsong lose face.

Tomorrow, their family plans to build two tiled houses in the west wing, one for the kitchen and the other for the pigsty and toilet.

Building a house like this requires manpower.

Zhai Qingsong went to the village in the morning and asked two masons to come and help.

I was worried about the shortage of manpower, so I thought of asking the third brother in the afternoon to help out for a few days. He would be a good helper no matter what he did, whether helping to carry bricks or doing anything else.

That's good.

Zhai Qingsong was completely unable to open his mouth.

Zhai Jiahao carried a shoulder pole and a dustpan and went to the fields with Xu Ping.

As he walked, Zhai Jiahao was still scolding his woman.

The couple went to work in the fields, cursing at each other all the way, and attracted many curious onlookers from the village.

Wang Ziru really admires Liu Xiangqin's way of dealing with people.

She had just returned from Tian Dagui's house and saw that the weeds that used to grow in a mess on the edge of the road outside the yard had been cleared away by her eldest brother.

It seemed that they were preparing to transport the bricks back and pile them outside the yard.

Wang Ziru guessed that the eldest brother's family was preparing to start construction on adding a tiled house to the western wing.

The family of three locked the door, crossed the field behind the house, and walked into the forest.

Wang Ziru carried the bamboo basket and held Baoer's little hand.

The man, dressed in a military uniform and holding a machete, walked through the forest looking for dry branches suitable for burning firewood.

After walking in the forest for a while, the couple asked each other at the same time:

"What were you three talking about outside in the yard at noon?"

"What did you do at Tian Dagui's house?"
