The atmosphere among Fu Hongxing and the others improved, and they ate the cleaned fruit that Fu Hongguo had brought out, laughing and joking, now that the storm had passed.
Meanwhile, the Zhong family was still arguing endlessly about Zhong Zihua's departure.
"Mom, what does my brother mean? Is he trying to force our family to leave? I knew it. You all favor boys over girls. Now that my brother is back, you want to kick us out."
Zhong Qiufeng roared furiously in the living room, her voice shrill.
Upon hearing her words, Zhong Mingxue immediately frowned and said, "Qiu Feng, how dare you speak to your mother like that?"
Seeing his father-in-law's unhappy expression, Su Yaping quickly tugged at Zhong Qiufeng's arm.
Then, forcing a smile, he explained to his parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom, Qiufeng is just anxious. Please don't take it to heart."
But my brother is something else. He came back, but why did he bring his wife and her whole family from the countryside to our house?
Our house is so small, isn't this making things difficult for you, Mom and Dad?
Hong Chunjiao was already furious, and hearing her son-in-law's words felt like finding a kindred spirit.
"That's what they said, I don't know what Hua Zi was thinking?"
That country wife only gave birth to a girl, but she brought her back with her. And not only that, she brought her whole extended family with her.
It was like bandits had broken into their den, with bags and packages everywhere, it was an eyesore.
Our house is so small. We originally thought that if it was just your eldest brother, we could squeeze in and make do.
Besides, once Hua Zi goes to work, we'll get a place to live when we get married and are allocated housing. He'll come back, and our family will be reunited. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
But now, he's completely bewitched by that vixen, his soul has vanished, and he no longer cares about us, his parents.
"And she even brought that vixen's family back! Isn't that just to make things difficult for us?"
The thought that her son, whom she had carried for ten months, had been bewitched by a country woman and had even argued with her, his mother, to her face filled Hong Chunjiao with rage.
Hearing his wife's words, Zhong Mingxue's face fell, and he said unhappily, "Why are you saying such nasty things? No matter what, she is still our granddaughter's mother and your son's current wife."
"How did I say anything harsh? She's a vixen... a vixen... a vixen..."
Hearing her husband speak up for that vixen, Hong Chunjiao flew into a rage and retorted immediately.
"You...you...sigh...you just keep acting up! Haven't you seen how you've driven your son away?"
Zhong Mingxue pointed at his wife, sighed deeply, and only managed to utter a single sentence after a long pause.
Su Yaping sensed something unusual in his mother-in-law's words. He gave his wife, Zhong Qiufeng, a look. Zhong Qiufeng's eyes darted around, and then she took her mother's hand and asked curiously, "Mom, do you have a way to get my older brother to divorce that vixen, come back to work, get married, and get a house?"
Hearing her daughter's question, Hong Chunjiao hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the old man. Seeing his droopy eyelids and indifferent expression, she felt annoyed.
Nodding, she said, "As long as your older brother divorces that vixen, listens to his mother and goes to work obediently, he will definitely be able to get a house after he gets married."
After saying that, she whispered something to her daughter for a long time. When Zhong Qiufeng heard her mother's words, her eyes widened. She never expected that there would be such a good thing now.
Immediately, his eyes began to dart around rapidly.
