The elderly people around were immediately impressed by the magnanimity of Fan Jin and Hu Shuiqing.
I never imagined they would offer to trade, not to sell to them, but to trade their old hens, even at a loss of a few coins per pound.
They were ashamed of their own lack of such great love!
Master Fan patted his nephew on the shoulder and said with shame, "Second nephew, I misunderstood you and your wife! I am ashamed!"
Previously, Sister-in-law Fan came over crying, saying that her younger daughter-in-law was unfilial, and her younger son also favored his wife, forgetting his mother after getting a wife. She said that the son she had raised with great difficulty was being raised by his wife, and so on.
Now it seems that my second nephew and his wife are people with deep thoughts and far-sighted vision!
He neither deigned to nor wanted to argue with Sister-in-law Fan.
Old Man Xu sighed, "I misunderstood you all before. You've had it tough."
A group of elderly people simultaneously recalled the rumors they had heard before: that Fan's mother and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Fan family were going to sell Daya and Erya to pay for Dazhu's marriage; no wonder they wanted to separate from the family.
They looked at the high walls and large courtyard behind them. They had only separated from the family not long ago and were already living in a big house. Such capable people were suppressed before the family was separated, and their two daughters were almost sold!
Looking back now, it's hard to believe that such a good son and daughter-in-law couldn't be tolerated by Fan's mother. It must have been Fan's mother who was making things difficult for them.
Otherwise, when they lived together, they had nothing. How could they become rich and prosperous after they separated their assets?
"By the way, your mother said she wasn't coming today because she wasn't invited?" Seeing everyone's expressions, the old village chief had already guessed that Fan's mother had not only come to his house to complain, but must have also visited close relatives or members of the family.
Some things need to be said in front of everyone. After Fan Jin explained, it became clear who was right and who was wrong.
Fan Jin had already gone to invite his mother separately yesterday, but she said she wouldn't come unless her eldest brother's family was invited to the banquet!
He made it clear that his elder brother and sister-in-law were neither old nor had any help with the housewarming, so they were not included in the banquet. If it was a matter of relatives visiting, they would definitely bring gifts to celebrate the housewarming. That would be fine too.
Upon hearing that a gift was to be brought, the eldest brother's face immediately darkened. He pretended not to hear his sister-in-law's sarcastic remarks, saying that people could freely tour the house, but there would be no food.
Finally, “I went to invite her yesterday, but my mother said that she felt sad because my eldest brother still lives in the old house, so she won’t come to the banquet.”
But food and drinks can be delivered to her room; she can eat at home as well. Shuiqing had already had Jianghe's two children deliver them there early this morning.
The elderly people present all wore expressions of incomprehension.
I've seen biased people before, but Fan's mother's bias is just too extreme!
What do you mean by the eldest son living in an old house? It's one of the best brick and tile houses in the whole village!
When the family divided the property, it was given to the eldest son. The second son's family didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain after the division!
Now that her second son has built a big house on his own, she, as his mother, is not happy for him, but instead feels sad.
What kind of logic is this!
As for having food and drinks delivered to her room, she got all the good things and was very impressive!
The expressions on everyone's faces changed several times, and the heavy weight that had been hanging over Fan Jin's heart finally lifted.
Shui Qing doesn't care about her own reputation, but he does.
He couldn't let his mother tarnish Shuiqing's reputation in the village; she was a good person and shouldn't be harmed in the slightest because of his mother.
The old village chief slammed his cane heavily on the ground and said coldly, "You've done a great job. If you don't want to come, then don't come."
Master Fan sighed deeply and said, "You and your niece-in-law should just live your lives peacefully from now on."
The others thought that they couldn't do what Fan's mother said, otherwise such a good family would never have a chance to get ahead.
Then I realized that it was fortunate that the two of them had separated; otherwise, they would never have been able to get to the point where they had to exchange chicken heads, mushrooms, and rabbits.
It was God who blessed their Shanshui Village, preventing Fan Jin's family from being ruined by Fan's mother!
Fan Jin only wanted to clear Shui Qing's name, but the effect was unexpectedly good, and his dark eyes immediately filled with a sincere smile.
