The day after returning to his parents' home, Feng Haidong and his brother-in-law Fang Jianxing took Liang Cong to his sister's house.
The main purpose was to take Liang Cong to see the village where his elder sister lived, and to see if it was suitable to raise crayfish in Liang Cong's way.
Of course, Feng Haidong will take Liang Cong to visit Feng Village later.
In fact, Feng Haidong felt that Feng Village might be more suitable for raising crayfish.
Because Fengcun is closer to the river, there are many ditches and canals in Fengcun.
Crayfish, after all, cannot live without water.
However, Feng Haidong had promised his brother-in-law that he could start raising crayfish first, so he took Liang Cong to visit his sister and brother-in-law's village first.
When the villagers saw Fang Jianxing and Feng Yunhua return, many of them teased the couple.
"Jianxing, you and Yunhua went to your father-in-law's house, right? Why didn't you stay there for a while?"
"Haha, Jianxing didn't get into trouble again and went to his father-in-law for help to settle things, did he?"
"Did Jianxing go to his father-in-law's house to borrow money?"
"Yunhua, who came with you two? Is this your brother? Could it be that your brother has come to settle scores with Jianxing?"
...
Hearing the villagers making fun of his older sister and brother-in-law like that, Feng Haidong couldn't help but speak up and refute them.
"What are you talking about? Did my sister and brother-in-law offend you? Over the years, my brother-in-law has caused trouble outside, but has he caused any trouble in your village? On the contrary, when some people in your village are bullied outside, they always ask my brother-in-law for help, right?"
If my brother-in-law hadn't helped you, would he have gotten into so much trouble?
What's going on? Are you all planning to discard them after you've served your purpose? When my brother-in-law helped you, why didn't you distance yourselves from him?
Now you're all making fun of my brother-in-law? Do you think you're so great?
It has to be said that Feng Haidong's outburst left the villagers who had been making fun of Fang Jianxing and Feng Yunhua speechless.
Seeing that the group of people remained silent, Feng Haidong was not going to let the matter rest.
"Why are you all so quiet now? Weren't you all so talkative just now? Let me tell you, my brother-in-law isn't causing trouble anymore. If any of you ever get into trouble outside and dare to come to my brother-in-law's door calling out, 'Brother Jianxing, you absolutely have to help me,' believe me, Feng Haidong, I'll come over and slap him across the face!"
Fang Jianxing and Feng Yunhua watched as Feng Haidong stepped forward to speak on their behalf.
Seeing Feng Haidong's efforts to protect Fang Jianxing truly moved Feng Yunhua.
Feng Haidong concluded by saying, “Listen up, all of you. My eldest sister married into your village. Don’t think that our family has no one to rely on. My brother-in-law’s family may not have many people left, but our Feng family does. You’d better stop talking about my eldest sister behind her back.”
After hearing Feng Haidong's words, the villagers immediately became obedient and dispersed dejectedly.
Feng Yunhua saw that the people who had been gossiping in the village had all dispersed.
Deeply moved, she said to Feng Haidong, "Haidong, my brother, thank you for today."
Feng Haidong looked at his older sister and started to cry. He understood that his older sister must have suffered a lot of injustices in the village over the years.
Then Feng Haidong turned to Fang Jianxing and said, "Brother-in-law, where did your troublemaking spirit go? Are you just going to let the villagers talk about you like this? Why didn't you protect my sister?"
Fang Jianxing said with an embarrassed look, "Haidong, it's not that I thought we were all from the same village, and they didn't mean it."
When Feng Haidong saw his brother-in-law acting cowardly in the village, he was immediately furious.
"Bullshit, what do you mean by 'speaking without thinking'? Weren't the things they said just now awful enough? I don't care if you, brother-in-law, can tolerate what they said, but they can't talk about my sister."
Fang Jianxing quickly said, "No, Haidong, don't worry, I will definitely not let them talk about your older sister in the future."
Feng Yunhua also spoke up for her husband: "Haidong, don't talk about your brother-in-law. In the village, your brother-in-law just doesn't want to cause trouble."
Before Feng Haidong arrived, he hadn't expected that his elder sister and brother-in-law would be in such a situation in the village.
But on second thought, Feng Haidong could have come up with that too.
The villagers didn't like Fang Jianxing. After all, he used to cause trouble all the time, and his parents had passed away early. He had grown up eating food from everyone in the village, so he always felt inferior to them.
The frustrations he suffered in the village led Fang Jianxing to constantly cause trouble outside, and he was ruthless when it came to fighting with others.
If you cause too much trouble outside, people will naturally come to your village.
The village elders will definitely step in to help resolve the matter.
After this happened so many times, the villagers all had a lot of complaints about Fang Jianxing.
Furthermore, since Fang Jianxing doesn't work hard in the village, the villagers certainly won't treat him well.
This situation gradually changed after Fang Jianxing and Feng Yunhua got married.
Because of Feng Haidong's father's influence, when Fang Jianxing got into trouble outside, the village elders didn't need to intervene; Feng Haidong's father would usually step in to resolve the issues.
When the news reached the village, everyone gossiped that Fang Jianxing had married a good wife and had climbed up to a powerful father-in-law.
These words started as whispers behind each other's backs, and gradually evolved into the kind of open teasing that Feng Haidong just witnessed.
Fang Jianxing hadn't thought anything of it before.
I feel that since we're all from the same hometown, a few jokes between us aren't a big deal.
But after Feng Haidong lost his temper today, Fang Jianxing suddenly realized that this kind of thing was indeed somewhat insulting.
Fang Jianxing had never considered before whether Feng Yunhua would feel uncomfortable being teased like this to her face.
Today, I saw how my wife acted in front of my younger brother.
Fang Jianxing suddenly realized that his wife didn't like being teased like that; she would feel that being teased in public was an insult.
Fang Jianxing realized his mistake, and after the group returned home, he earnestly said to Feng Haidong, "Haidong, don't worry, I will definitely not let them do that again in the future. If any of them dare to say anything, I will not let them off the hook."
Upon hearing his brother-in-law's words, Feng Haidong immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I'm relieved to hear that from you, brother-in-law."
Then, Feng Haidong asked Liang Cong, "Young Master Liang, shall we go check out the environment now, or have lunch at my older sister's house before we go?"
Feng Yunhua immediately said, "Let's go have lunch, there's no rush."
Liang Cong thought for a moment and said, "Big sister, let's go take a look first. We can have lunch when we get back."
Feng Haidong said, "Okay, sister, you can cook at home. We'll go take a look around the village first, especially your fields, to see if they're suitable for shrimp farming."
Feng Yunhua said, "Then you go ahead, I'll cook something nice for you at noon."
Feng Haidong didn't stand on ceremony with his older sister: "Haha, then I'm looking forward to eating your cooking, sister."
Feng Yunhua smiled and said, "Okay, I guarantee my brother will be satisfied."
Afterwards, Feng Haidong, Fang Jianxing, and Liang Cong went out together, walked straight out of the village, and went to the eldest sister's land first.
