Chapter 29 It's All My Fault
At least he wasn't as outrageous as the fourth brother, and the person he found was much better than the fourth brother.
Indeed, there's no harm in comparison!
Thinking of this, Liu Jianbang said, "Mom, I'm much better than the fourth brother, right? By the way, when I came back, I saw that you seemed to have collected a lot of food. Why did you hide it?"
There seemed to be ribs and other meat, so much delicious food. Why didn't you share it with us? My stomach hasn't been feeling well lately from eating vegetarian food, and I don't have the energy to work.
As soon as the third brother opened his mouth, Zhao Fengxiu knew what kind of nonsense he was going to spout.
"You're such a glutton! All you know is eating! That's from your third uncle's family."
Upon hearing this, his children were surprised, and even Liu Shiping's face beamed with a smile.
They had never had any contact with their third uncle's family since they were children!
It's not that it's good or bad, but rather that they're completely unrelated!
The children were all baffled. They had heard about it and seen it, but they were very suspicious of their mother's actions, as she was willing to accept things from her third uncle's family.
Liu Shiping was even more puzzled.
Receiving their surprised looks, Zhao Fengxiu remained calm; for her previous life, this was quite unusual.
But for her in this life, having taken a detached view of life and death, it didn't matter anymore.
However, their family and their third uncle's family have been estranged ever since.
In the evening, after Li Mengfei ran out crying, Zhao Fengxiu followed her out, hoping to take the opportunity to see if Li Mengfei would meet with Zhou Junjie.
But then she ran into her third brother's wife, who was acting suspiciously nearby!
Sun Afang, the third sister-in-law, brought some things over at the request of her third uncle, Liu Xiangqian, intending to give them to Liu Shiping's family. However, because of Zhao Fengxiu's presence, Sun Afang was hesitant to come.
Just then, Zhao Fengxiu went out and ran into them. Sun Afang was shocked. After an awkward greeting, the things in her hands disappeared!
Zhao Fengxiu took the things brought by her third sister-in-law, Sun Afang, without any hesitation and even thanked her.
This is a grudge from a past life.
Zhao Fengxiu also recalled the grudges she had with her third uncle Liu Xiangqian's family in the countryside in her previous life!
And the incident where he tripped Liu Xiangqian on his deathbed.
If Liu Xiangqian hadn't come specifically to scrape the wood oil and discovered it, Zhao Fengxiu probably wouldn't have had anyone come to collect her body!
In her previous life, even after Zhao Fengxiu went to the countryside, she maintained a strict separation from her third brother-in-law, Liu Xiangqian. However, she happened to pass by and heard some things.
But after fifty years, there has been little contact.
Having faced life and death, Zhao Fengxiu came to terms with it.
Since Liu Xiangqian could see his own corpse, he still went to great lengths to contact his children. Even if he couldn't reach them, he was willing to ask Liu Jianxin to handle the funeral arrangements.
It's clear that this long-standing feud can actually be discussed openly.
That was over 50 years in my past life!
The feud has only lasted thirty years in this lifetime.
It was all because of Liu Shiping. Zhao Fengxiu glared angrily at Liu Shiping in the blink of an eye!
Liu Shiping could only avoid eye contact.
The children were full of curiosity and kept asking Zhao Fengxiu questions.
Liu Jianguo joked, "Third Uncle's family... We actually still have a third uncle? Isn't he dead?"
The children looked on with confusion. Liu Shiping said, "Who died? Don't talk nonsense. That's your third uncle's business. Your cousin Zhenyu is getting married, and this is a gift from the groom's family to your third uncle."
It was your third aunt who brought some of her things to us.
"Your cousin Zhendong had one at his wedding before, but your mother didn't accept it. This time, however..."
Liu Shiping didn't dare to continue, keeping a close eye on Zhao Fengxiu's expression.
He didn't know why his wife suddenly agreed to accept things from his third brother's family. It had been a 30-year-old feud, which started 30 years ago when he and Zhao Fengxiu got married.
Zhao Fengxiu had spoken about it and also prohibited it.
He wouldn't allow his third brother, Liu Xiangqian, and his scoundrel friend, Huang Weifeng, to cause trouble at his wedding!
But the third brother, Liu Xiangqian, for some reason, still felt playful and wanted to prank Liu Shiping and Zhao Fengxiu's wedding. Unexpectedly, he went too far and caused Zhao Fengxiu to get a little angry!
They burned Zhao Fengxiu's wedding dress.
That was a keepsake left to Zhao Fengxiu by her mother before she passed away when she was young; it was also part of Zhao Fengxiu's dowry!
As part of her dowry, Zhao Fengxiu treasured it dearly and happily awaited wearing it on her wedding day, only to have it ruined by Liu Xiangqian!
The wedding dress that was burned was then sealed away at the very bottom of the closet.
Because of this incident, Zhao Fengxiu forbade Liu Shiping from associating with Liu Xiangqian!
Otherwise, she would sever all ties with Liu Shiping and would never live with him again when she returned to her parents' home!
When Liu Shiping learned that the matter was serious, and was determined to live a good life with Zhao Fengxiu, he did not expect his third brother Liu Xiangqian to be so reckless, so he stopped having contact with Liu Xiangqian.
Although it was an accident, it directly severed their brotherly relationship.
But in the end, Zhao Fengxiu was also heartbroken and saddened, and the hatred in her heart could not be soothed!
Even if Liu Shiping and Liu Xiangqian had a good relationship, they hadn't been in contact for 30 years.
Because of this feud, the two families have become entangled in disputes, and even joyous occasions and funerals are no longer related.
In the first few years, Liu Shiping was very worried, but now, 30 years later, he has gotten used to it.
But Zhao Fengxiu's performance today surprised and delighted him!
The children had no impression of their third uncle's family because they had never been there or had any contact with them.
Upon hearing Liu Shiping's explanation, the group looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Liu Jianbang scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "When did we suddenly have a third uncle? Don't we only have an aunt? How come we have a third uncle?"
The others shared the same thought, but Liu Jianmei kept her head down.
They wanted to ask Liu Shiping what had happened, but Liu Shiping didn't dare to talk about the grudges. He looked at Zhao Fengxiu, and his children also looked at her.
Zhao Fengxiu's face fell. "Why worry so much? You'll find out later. Let me sort out the situation first."
She didn't want to recall it that way, so she got up and left after finishing her meal.
The children were completely dumbfounded.
Liu Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wouldn't be kicked out today.
After Zhao Fengxiu left, Liu Shiping quickly followed.
She had just entered the house when Liu Shiping followed. He could tell that Zhao Fengxiu's expression wasn't good, so he quickly comforted her, saying, "It's alright, it's all my fault. I didn't tell him properly back then."
If you want to hit or yell at me, that's my fault. Things are better now, it seems like things can be restored, right...?
Zhao Fengxiu gave him a cold glance. "Things can be restored, but can feelings be restored? Those are my mother's keepsakes, my dowry! They were my wedding dress!"
How could you burn something so precious? Are you trying to steal my money and kill me?
"You made me lose face and embarrass myself like this on my wedding day, Liu Shiping, you're really something! I'll never forgive you for this!"
Liu Shiping pulled her back and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Just don't let me off the hook in this life. After all, we've had so many children and we've gotten through so much. I know you can't bear to part with me and you feel sorry for me."
Why are you suddenly willing to accept things from my third brother's family today? It's been 30 years, and even Jian Guo and the others don't really know that my third brother exists; they may have only heard of him.
I truly never expected you to personally go out and accept it. Thank you, Fengxiu.
