As soon as the fifth brother got home, he saw a familiar figure loitering at the door.
The fifth brother thought to himself, "What goes around comes around."
It hasn't been that long. Before, the eldest brother coldly watched the fifth brother being kicked out of the house, and didn't even say a kind word to his parents.
If the fifth brother helps the eldest brother, he's a dog!
When Song Guomin saw Song Jianmin return, he felt embarrassed.
"Fifth brother, you're back."
Song Jianmin gave a haughty "hmm," and said, "What are you doing here? Aren't you going home?"
Song Guomin pursed his lips: "How are Mom and Dad's health lately?"
Song Jianmin exclaimed, "I'm in great health and have a great appetite, but of course it can't compare to the life you guys lead, where you eat and drink to your heart's content."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Song Guomin's face. "Fifth brother, that's not what I meant. Your sister-in-law and I have been living here for a while now. Have Mom and Dad... mentioned anything about us?"
Song Jianmin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Mom and Dad are both fine. They're sleeping even better now that no one's upset them." The fifth brother secretly gloated at the eldest brother's discomfiture. He frowned and said, "Big brother, let me have a turn. I need to go back and do some housework."
Song Guomin: "..."
Damn it, I'll definitely beat up Song Jianmin when I get the chance.
Song Jianmin returned to the Song family home. Xu Guiying was embroidering insoles in the room, Song Xinfu was repairing a table, Song Yangmin was working on honeycomb briquettes, and Song Jianmin went to the kitchen to get some hot dishes to eat.
Song Guomin stood outside the Song family's house for a while, and soon a commotion came from inside.
Xu Guiying: "Song Jianmin, go and collect the eggs after you finish eating."
Song Xinfu: "Fifth brother, build a new coop for the chickens later."
"Song Yangmin, I remember you're on leave tomorrow. Come with me somewhere tomorrow!"
"Mom, where are we going?"
"What's the point of asking? You'll find out when you get there!"
Song Guomin returned home dejectedly. Liu Aimei hadn't come back yet. Lele and Yanyan were playing in the mud in the yard. Song Guomin had just washed their faces before leaving, and now they were dirty again.
Song Guomin sat under the eaves with his hands covering his face.
Liu Aimei did not return until 9 p.m.
Left with no other choice, Song Guomin had to send Yan Yan and Lele to the Song family.
"Mom and Dad, Aimei hasn't come back yet, and Yanyan and Lele are already sleepy. I... they can't go out with me."
Song Xinfu frowned as he looked at his two sleepy-eyed grandsons. It wasn't realistic to let the two little ones go out with Song Guomin so late, but if the children were left at home for one night, what about tomorrow?
Tomorrow morning, given their usual behavior, the eldest son and his wife will definitely not come to pick up the child.
Song Xinfu was not happy, thinking that the two little brats had pushed Xu Guiying earlier.
It's not that it's bad to let a couple of little rascals eat occasionally, but if the eldest couple has one, they'll have two.
Song Xinfu pretended not to hear.
Song Guomin then looked at his mother.
Xu Guiying said directly, "We're about to go to sleep, and there's nowhere for them to sleep at home. Either you take them with you, or you can take them to the community director to watch over them for the night. Staying at home overnight is not an option."
Song Guomin couldn't believe his parents would disagree.
"Mom? Are you serious?"
Xu Guiying was angry at her eldest son's matter-of-fact attitude.
"If I weren't serious, would I lie to you? Song Guomin, get out of here! Your affairs are none of our business now."
"Yan Yan and Le Le are your own grandsons, they are the bloodline of our Song family!"
Song Xinfu slapped the boss on the head.
"I'm still a descendant of the Song family, who gave you the right to say that?"
Song Xinfu felt more and more that his wife's decision to kick the eldest son out was absolutely correct!
If we leave the eldest son at home, they'll wear them down to death!
Xu Guiying gripped the door frame, making a move to close the door.
“Song Guomin, this is your family’s business. We have no obligation to take care of your child. You’re almost thirty years old, and you’re still clinging to me like a baby all day long. You were weaned hundreds of years ago. Get out of here!”
Xu Guiying immediately closed the door.
Song Xinfu gave the old woman a thumbs up.
Xu Guiying glared at him and said, "Go to sleep!"
Tomorrow I'm taking my second son to the countryside to see his wife. After being busy for so long, I finally have some free time tomorrow.
"Old man, go see the third son tomorrow, and keep a close eye on him."
Song Xinfu waved his hand, "Alright, I know!"
There were people on duty at the community office all day, so Song Guomin had no choice but to bring his two children there.
"Uncle Li, Aimei's family has some business to attend to. I'm going there now. Could you please watch the baby for me? I'll be right back."
Uncle Li was reading Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils when he glanced at Song Guomin.
"Go."
Watching Song Guomin and his wife argue every few days is a form of entertainment in Heping Township. Uncle Li didn't expose Song Guomin and let Yan Yan and Lele go to sleep on the small bed.
Song Guomin first went to the new house to look for the person, but couldn't find him.
Song Guomin had no choice but to go to the Liu family again.
It was almost eleven o'clock when I arrived at Liu's house, and I heard Liu's mother cursing loudly in the yard.
"What good are you two? You've been kicked out for so long and haven't been able to go back, and now you're only telling me this now!"
"Liu Aimei, you've really disgraced yourself! Don't ever say you're my daughter when you get out of here!"
Old Man Liu frowned as well, "Your in-laws are going too far! We'll go settle accounts with your father-in-law tomorrow!"
Liu Aimei's older brother, Liu Qiangdao, also cursed, "Song Guomin is useless too. Damn it, he didn't dare to say a word after being kicked out, and he's still the eldest son of the Song family!"
Liu Aimei cried, "What's the use of blaming us? His parents never thought about us at all. The Song family has such a big house, and they want to kick us out and make us live in a leaky room! Yan Yan and Lele are still so young! His parents are practically driving us to our deaths!"
...
Song Guomin heard the cursing coming from inside; he was sitting at the entrance of the Liu family's house.
When they had finished talking inside, he knocked on the door, but it wasn't closed properly and he pushed it open easily.
Old Man Liu and the others looked over, and were not surprised to see that it was Song Guomin.
Liu Aimei still harbored resentment towards Song Guomin for slapping her last night. She glared at Song Guomin but remained silent.
Liu Qiangdao spoke first: "Song Guomin, how are you going to settle the score for your family bullying my sister?"
Old Man Liu also stared at Song Guomin with ill intent.
"Song Guomin, what do you think we should do about this now?"
Song Guomin approached, glanced at Liu Aimei, then frowned and said, "This is just a misunderstanding. My parents won't be angry for long."
Liu Aimei said fiercely, "It's been so long, and your parents still won't let us go back. I've never seen a mother like yours, so calculating about every penny of living expenses! If Song Yingying hadn't kept quiet about the Tong family's affairs, would we have wasted so much money buying a house?!"
The couple is now in debt!
When Liu Aimei thought about having to pay off the debt, she wanted nothing more than to strangle Song Yingying!
Old Mrs. Liu was stunned. "What's this about buying a house?!"
Liu Aimei's eyes flashed as she glanced at Song Guomin.
Liu Qiangdao glared at Liu Aimei, "You bought a house?"
