Old Man Liu and Old Woman Liu usually do odd jobs to earn money, and the family's income mainly comes from the money Liu Qiangdao earns working in the factory.
Liu Qiangdao is already married. His wife is from the countryside, has a strange temper, doesn't know how to deal with people at work, often yells and makes a scene, and can't stay at work for more than a few days.
The Liu family lived a very frugal life and often relied on Liu Aimei to help them out.
Even after getting married, Liu Aimei would give the Liu family ten yuan every month, but the Liu family never expected that Liu Aimei and her husband would actually buy a house!
Why didn't you share any of the money spent on the house with your wife's family?
Liu Qiangdao stared at Liu Aimei with great dissatisfaction.
Old Liu also said, "When did you buy the house? Why didn't you say anything?"
Old Mrs. Liu herself was a staunch believer in sons over daughters. "Aimei, you know our family situation perfectly well. You have a place to live at the Song family's house, so why do you need to buy a house?"
Old Man Liu: "I've raised you all these years for nothing, and you never even contribute money to the family. What good is ten yuan a month?!"
Liu Aimei's heart skipped a beat. She was fierce to outsiders, but she couldn't bring herself to be fierce to her own family.
Liu Aimei stared at Song Guomin, signaling for him to answer.
Song Guomin scoffed inwardly.
He can buy a house whenever he wants; why should he have to explain it to his father-in-law?
He suppressed his dissatisfaction and explained that it was for the sake of promotion.
Old Liu asked excitedly, "Did you get promoted?"
Song Guomin's face darkened. "This deal is off."
Old Lady Liu exclaimed angrily, slapping her hand as she sat down in her chair. "So, you borrowed over two thousand yuan to buy a house? And then you didn't even move in! You rented a separate place instead. You really have too much money!"
Liu Qiangdao showed no concern for his sister and brother-in-law, only heartache at losing over two thousand yuan. He wished he could have received a few hundred yuan of that money…
Song Guomin only borrowed a little over a thousand, but he said it was more than two thousand.
Liu Aimei's eyes flashed, but she didn't refute.
Song Guomin nodded, "That's how things are now. As for renting a house, it's just to wait for my parents to soften their hearts."
Liu Qiangdao sneered, "With your parents being so stingy, do you think they'd let you go back unless you give them something in return?"
"The Song family is going too far!" Old Man Liu roared, glaring at Song Guomin. "You just let your parents bully your wife and children? Are you even a man?!"
Old Lady Liu chimed in with her own curses, "How shameless! What kind of son and daughter-in-law live at home and still need living expenses! That old hag Xu Guiying is just obsessed with money!"
Liu Qiang said angrily, "You're so short of money that you need to buy a coffin, aren't you?"
Before Song Guomin could speak, Liu Aimei burst into tears, “His parents kicked us out in front of so many neighbors. It’s so embarrassing! We didn’t do anything wrong, and we even gave them living expenses! All we wanted was for them to send Song Yingying away!”
Liu Aimei added, "They don't care about Yan Yanle; that's their Song family bloodline!"
“They keep saying Song Guomin is the eldest son, but I think he's not even as good as Song Yingying! That house is dilapidated and leaky, and we have a child with us, how are we supposed to live here!”
Originally, Liu Aimei was going home tonight to cry and complain, but Song Guomin's arrival changed her mind. She decided to have her family step in and put pressure on Song's family.
Let's see if that old hag lets them go back!
"Mom, that place is really uninhabitable. How about Guomin and I bring the kids back to live here?"
Before Liu Aimei could finish speaking, Li Xia rushed out of the house and interrupted her, shouting, "No way! Where in this house is there a place for you to stay?!"
Li Xia had a strange temper at home. She didn't have the life of a young lady, but she had all the ailments of one. She never did any housework and left it all to Old Lady Liu.
No one in the family dared to say anything to Li Xia, otherwise she would roll on the ground and make a huge scene, and even go out to make a scene for the neighbors, saying that the Liu family had abused and beaten her.
No one in the Liu family dared to provoke Li Xia.
Liu Aimei's face quickly showed disgust, but Li Xia caught it.
Li Xia rushed up and slapped Liu Aimei across the face, yelling, "You dare roll your eyes at me? I'll beat you to death!"
Liu Aimei had been holding back her anger for the past two days, and when Li Xia rushed up, the two of them got into a fight.
"You dare hit me?!" Liu Aimei grabbed Li Xia's hair and pulled her down. The two fell to the ground. Li Xia, who had worked in the fields as a child, was strong and pressed down on Liu Aimei, moving left and right.
Old Man Liu and Old Woman Liu cursed, "What a terrible thing!" But they couldn't pull Li Xia away.
Liu Qiangdao seemed to be used to it, and he let go on his own after Li Xia got tired of hitting him.
After Liu Aimei was slapped several times, Song Guomin, who was stunned, pulled her away.
"Song Guomin, are you just going to watch me get beaten up?!"
Song Guomin tried to pull Li Xia away, but Li Xia kicked him in the shin and almost knocked him over.
Taking advantage of the moment, Liu Aimei climbed up from under Li Xia and stood some distance away. Liu Aimei's face was burning, and she regretted hitting Li Xia earlier. She had to go to work tomorrow, and she wondered if the marks on her face would fade.
She stared at Li Xia with bloodshot eyes.
Li Xia scoffed and warned, "There's no place for you to live in this house."
After saying that, Li Xia went back to her room.
When Liu's parents saw their daughter, Liu Aimei burst into tears and grabbed Song Guomin, wanting to go back.
Old Lady Liu was also feeling bad. She said, "Aimei, after you get off work tomorrow, we'll go and support you and get an explanation from the Song family!"
Old Lady Liu pinched Liu Qiangdao, who was pretending to be mute.
Liu Qiangdao frowned and said, "Mom is right, I'll go after work tomorrow."
Song Guomin's eyes darted around, but he didn't stop him.
Liu Aimei's eyes were red, and she looked extremely disheveled. "Really?"
Old Man Zhang laughed, "Of course, how could it be fake! You are our Liu family's daughter!"
