Li Xiangyun refused without hesitation: "Huo Changlan, you can't live here. You can live in the front, but don't even think about living here!"
Huo Changlan smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, I was just saying. Look how scared you are. Besides, you can't make the decision. You say I can't stay, but I'm going to stay anyway. Qingqing and Tingting, go and get my things. I'm going to stay in this room. The kang here is really big. You can all come and stay here too."
Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting excitedly ran back to get their things.
Yun Ningyan slowly washed up and dressed in the room before coming out.
Huo Junshan spoke at length about how good things were done inside the house.
Yun Ningyan put on her cotton-padded coat and buttoned it up: "Your aunt is really shameless, deciding to live here all by herself?"
With a cold expression, she opened the door and walked out with Huo Junshan.
Yun Ningyan sneered and said, "So it's Aunt? I thought it was some blind fool who was so rude?"
Huo Changlan knew she was talking about her, but she wasn't annoyed. She still smiled and said, "Ningning, right? Look at you, you only just got up this morning. If any family married a daughter-in-law as lazy as you, wouldn't they cry their eyes out? As your elder, is this how you talk to me?"
Yun Ningyan: "Whether I sleep in or not is none of your business! Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy? My mother-in-law hasn't said anything yet, and you're already pointing fingers at me. Who do you think you are? You want to live in my house?"
Huo Changgen hadn't expected his third daughter-in-law to show such blatant respect for her elders, and he felt a little embarrassed.
He scolded, "Third brother's wife, how dare you speak to your aunt like that?"
Upon hearing that even his father was talking about his wife, Huo Junshan clenched his fists so tightly they cracked: "What are you doing bringing this person to my house so early in the morning? Don't you know who she is?"
Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting had already brought their luggage, followed by the Huo family.
Huo Changlan wasn't annoyed. She took the luggage and went to the west room to make the bed.
Yun Ningyan scoffed coldly: "You wish! Big Black! Come here and throw her luggage out."
With a howl, Dahei rushed in, grabbed Huo Changlan's luggage, and started dragging it out. Huo Changlan was startled and held on tightly, with even her two daughters coming over to help.
Huo Changgen couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Third brother, third brother's wife, tell Dahei to stop! I'm the father, I'm in charge, your aunt will be living here from now on!"
Yun Ningyan never expected that Huo Changgen would be so stubborn about Huo Changlan.
She patted Big Black's head, and Big Black stepped aside.
"Huo Junshan, this is your family matter, you can handle it yourself!"
Without saying a word, Huo Junshan picked up their luggage and threw it outside the gate, then dragged them out.
He said to Huo Changgen, "Your own sister is your own responsibility. Don't bring her here for no reason. Ningning bought this for you. What are you being so arrogant about? If you don't apologize, see if I'll let you in or not."
As Huo Junshan spoke, he pushed Huo Changgen and walked out.
Huo Changgen...
He was pushed out the door by his third son, and as the father, he felt ashamed, especially since Huo Changlan was right in front of him. He was sure Huo Changlan would laugh at him when he got back.
But he was also afraid that his third son would become arrogant. How could he, as the father, be afraid of his son?
I can't lose face in front of my younger sister.
He pointed at the gate, intending to curse Huo Junshan, but Li Xiangyun didn't give him the chance, grabbing Huo Changgen's ear and pulling him away.
Huo Junshan slammed the door shut.
On the way back, Huo Changlan grumbled, "I say, Second Brother, how dare your son and daughter-in-law be so audacious as to disrespect their elders like this?"
"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing, grabbing my second brother's ear like that? You really don't know what's good for you. Your daughter-in-law is so arrogant and you don't even discipline her. It's infuriating!"
Li Xiangyun practically ran home, pulling on Huo Changgen's ear the whole way.
Following behind were Huo Jianguo, Huo Jiandang, and their brothers.
Li Xiangyun pulled Huo Changgen directly into their room, slamming the door shut so hard that the people outside almost bumped their noses.
Li Xiangyun angrily said, "When is your sister leaving? I think she came back just to cause trouble for our family. Tell her to leave immediately."
She poked Huo Changgen's head hard with her index finger, sounding exasperated: "Are you out of your mind? You're going to cause trouble for Lao San's wife? I think you're asking for it! Let me tell you, if your sister dares to cause trouble for Lao San and his family again, tell her to get out of here!"
She practically roared her last sentence, and everyone outside heard it clearly.
Li Xiangyun was almost crying with anger at the end: "It's one thing for Huo Changlan to bully me when she was at home, but now she can forget about bullying my son and daughter-in-law."
Huo Changgen was startled. Although Li Xiangyun usually had a bad temper, she had never yelled at him like that before.
He hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation and looked helplessly at Li Xiangyun: "My sister is only coming back to stay for a while before leaving. She came back to find partners for her two daughters. It's only been one day since she arrived, and you already can't wait for her to leave. My sister hasn't done anything malicious to you. Is it really necessary?"
Li Xiangyun snorted coldly, sat down on the kang, and pointed outside: "If you're so capable, go and ask her when she plans to leave. Judging from her posture, she's determined not to leave. She came all this way with so much luggage, she's practically moving her whole family here."
Huo Changgen didn't want to argue with her: "Just ask, I'll go right now."
He flicked his sleeves, opened the door, and went out.
Huo Changlan lived in Huo Junshan's house.
He went straight to Huo Junshan's room and asked as soon as he entered, "Changlan, how long do you plan to stay this time?"
Huo Changlan was still angry about what had just happened behind her, and she was trying to figure out a way to move into that house.
Hearing her second brother's voice, her face instantly turned sad, and she looked like she was about to cry: "Second brother, my husband is dead and my parents-in-law are gone too. There are only the three of us left at home. I was thinking of coming back. I don't plan to leave anymore."
What?! You're not leaving?
Huo Changgen almost jumped up and down. He'd only come to stay for a few days, so why wasn't he leaving?
He has a large family to support, and his sister and niece don't seem to be able to work. What, what, what should he do?
Huo Changlan deliberately asked, "Second Brother, are you not welcoming me? If you feel uncomfortable, then I'll take two girls and go begging for food! I don't believe we can't survive."
She was about to pack her luggage when Huo Changgen stopped her.
“Changlan, this is your home. You can stay as long as you want without packing. You have two older brothers and seven nephews. How can we let you go begging? That would be a slap in the face to me and your eldest brother.”
Huo Changgen chuckled and stood up: "You rest, you rest, I'm going out for a bit."
