Fang Rong pulled her man out as well and complained all the way.
"When will your brother leave?"
"I've never seen such a shameless person. How could someone insist on eating meat when visiting someone else's home?"
"How could a relative be so shameless as to stay in someone else's house?"
"What on earth was he arguing about with his sister-in-law? What's wrong with her? She can't even tie a man down?"
"She's been away from home for a day, why didn't she come look for me?"
"Hmm?" Fang Rong seemed to realize something. "Do you think sister-in-law doesn't know that brother is here with us?"
Chen Weijun nodded immediately. "I think so. You see, my eldest brother and his wife never quarreled before. But now they are quarreling, and my eldest brother suddenly ran away from home. My eldest sister-in-law must be very anxious, and she doesn't know where to look for him."
"We are so far away from their home. How could sister-in-law never think that brother is at our house?"
Fang Rong nodded. "Then I'll go see my sister-in-law this afternoon and borrow a bicycle. Don't let my brother know about this for now. What if he comes up with something weird to torture us?"
Chen Weijun agreed with this. His elder brother became very strange after the quarrel with his elder sister-in-law, which made him feel unfamiliar. He didn't want anything unexpected to happen.
At noon, Fang Rong scraped off half of the meat and cooked it with cabbage to eat. Old Chen worked very quickly and ate several pieces of meat, while the others didn't eat much, which made Fang Rong's face darken even more.
Soon, everyone finished lunch.
She exchanged a glance with Chen Weijun and stood up to clear the dishes.
Chen Weijun was afraid that his elder brother would stare at them, so he pretended to be nice and said, "Brother, do you want to take a nap? A nap after a full meal is the most comfortable."
Old Chen was full and his brain was a little slow. After hearing this, he felt sleepy and requisitioned his nephews' room to sleep in.
"Dad, my room." Chen Weijun's eldest son said angrily.
Chen Weijun: "Be patient, your uncle will be leaving soon."
"Uncle didn't bring any delicious food this time. I want to eat the crispy candies he brought last time." Chen Weijun's youngest son is younger and more greedy for food.
Chen Weijun: "Your uncle will definitely leave some money for us before he goes home. I'll take you to buy it then. When your uncle wakes up, you can also pester him for it. He used to love you the most, and if he softens his heart, he might just take you to buy it."
Fang Rong finished washing the dishes very quickly, nodded at them, and rode away on her bike.
She didn't even dare to touch Old Chen's bicycle, for fear that he would notice something.
Soon, she arrived at Old Lady Xia's compound.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm here, sister-in-law, open the door!" Fang Rong knocked on the door heavily.
Old Mrs. Xia opened the door and another unlucky thing came in.
"Why are you here?" Old Lady Xia asked in a somewhat aggressive tone. She had just argued with Xiang Hong, but this girl was as stubborn as a donkey and insisted on going to Hai City to take a look.
She looks so much like her father. Her temperament is nothing like her. She has such a gentle personality.
Fang Rong still had some respect for Old Chen, but she didn't take Old Lady Xia seriously at all.
As soon as the door opened, she stepped in and started pointing and talking rudely.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything but you should pay more attention to your brother. He's working so hard, and you're still arguing with him. Aren't you worried if he runs away?"
"Looking at you, it seems like you haven't even looked for her. If our mother-in-law were still alive, she would have scolded you a long time ago. As women, we..."
"It's such nice weather, and you don't even clean the house or dry the quilts. You're so lazy! The most important thing for a good woman is to take good care of the home."
She talked a lot, completely unaware that Chen Xiangnan, Chen Xianghong and Chen Xiangbei were standing beside her with their eyes wide open.
Chen Xiangbei sneaked up to his second brother and asked, "Brother, why hasn't Mom taken action yet?"
Chen Xiangnan gave him a look, telling him to stop talking.
Fang Rong said she was tired and stopped, mainly because no one paid any attention to her.
"Sister-in-law, do you know that my brother is at my house now?"
Old Mrs. Xia: “Oh.”
Fang Rong: "Then hurry up and pick him up. Oh, what? My brother came to my house last night and ate a lot of meat. You have to pay for my ticket when the time comes. You know, my family is poor."
Old Mrs. Xia: "I don't have any money."
Fang Rong: "Big Brother, why don't you pay for the food he eats at my house? I spent fifty cents on meat today, and he ate it all by himself."
Old Lady Xia was talking at cross purposes, not following her own lead at all. "Then why don't you just stop him from eating? The money and tickets are in your hands, how can he steal them?"
Fang Rong: "But he's the eldest brother. How can we refuse him anything he wants to eat? Even if it means he goes bankrupt, we still have to let him eat well."
Old Lady Xia suddenly understood and deliberately angered her, "No wonder your family is poor, that's how you became poor. Tell him, it's because he ate the 50-cent piece of meat, that's why your family is so poor that you have to come to me to beg for food."
Fang Rong: ...What's wrong with her? Why does she speak so harshly?
"Are you sick? What are you talking about? Begging? We are sisters-in-law and relatives. I don't want to make things too awkward. Hurry up and give me the money and coax my eldest brother back. How can he, a grown man, stay at his younger brother's house every day?"
"Hey, this thing is really good. Sister-in-law, please give it to me. My family needs someone to give gifts through connections." Fang Rong had sharp eyes and found the gift that Yu Hongzhen had sent but had not put away yet.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, she was held down by Old Lady Xia.
"Sister-in-law?"
Old Mrs. Xia had wanted to beat her for a long time, and she had endured it for so long just to see how shameless she could be.
