"The baby in my mother's belly is your eldest grandson. My third uncle, the biological son, has gone to serve his parents-in-law. I don't know whether my third aunt's brothers and sisters will be closer to grandpa or to the maternal uncles over there~, but my mother's brother will definitely be closer to grandpa..."
Lei Honghua was sulking in the house, waiting for someone to come in and invite her in as usual, but she forgot that Qiao Fangfang was already married, the third brother had gone to his mother-in-law's house, and the fourth brother had gone out to fool around early in the morning.
Smelling the fragrance in the air, she could no longer sit still and walked out by herself.
When she came out, she saw Qiao Jiuwang, his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter sitting around the table. Each of them was holding a large ceramic bowl and eating happily. Smelling the fragrance in the air and looking at the chewed bones on the table, Lei Honghua seemed to think of something and ran to the chicken coop with a cry.
Soon, her screams were heard outside.
"Liu Afang, you greedy bitch, how dare you kill my chicken!!!"
Liu Afang's body shivered subconsciously, and Qiao Youcai turned his head to look at the door in a defensive manner, and leaned sideways to block his wife who was sitting on a bench with him, as if protecting her.
Qiao Jiangxin pulled his nervous father and said, "Dad, why are you so nervous? My grandfather-in-law has already eaten a few of our own chickens. How can my grandfather, who works so hard, not eat them?"
Brothers Qiao Youcai, Qiao Youfu and Liu Afang subconsciously looked at Qiao Jiuwang. Listening to Lei Honghua's yelling and cursing, Qiao Jiuwang's face turned red.
"You shameless bitch, your whole family is a thief, you are a starving ghost reincarnated, you steal..."
"Pah~"
“Ah~”
Lei Honghua rushed into the house while cursing, but just as she entered the door, Qiao Jiuwang, who could no longer bear it, slapped her to the ground.
In this countryside, beating a woman is a very normal thing, but Qiao Jiuwang is not a man who likes to meddle in other people's business. He doesn't talk much and it is very rare for him to hit Lei Honghua.
Lei Honghua got up from the ground with a look of humiliation on her face, lowered her head and rushed towards Qiao Jiuwang's chest, "Qiao Jiuwang, you old bastard, you dare to hit me, wuwuwu, I will fight you!!"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, Mom and Dad, just talk it out nicely." Qiao Youfu and his brothers stepped forward to separate them.
Qiao Jiangxin pulled Liu Afang aside and shouted, "Grandma, Grandpa can't even eat a chicken from his own family. He's already sixty years old, and he's working under the scorching sun to raise his third uncle who only knows how to be filial to his parents-in-law and his fourth uncle who's almost twenty. Can't he even eat a chicken from his own family? Must he send it to Third Aunt's house to honor Grandpa-in-law?"
"My third uncle has gone to take care of my grandfather-in-law, and my fourth uncle only eats and does nothing. My grandfather, uncle, and father work as hard as an ox to support them. Why do they treat us like this?"
If Qiao Jiangxin was only speaking up for Qiao Youcai's brothers, Qiao Jiuwang might still think that they were all family and there was no need to be so clear about the details, but she dragged herself into it as well.
Isn’t it? She is already sixty years old, and works like an old ox all day long. Yet she has to support two strong boys, Qiao Jianhua and Qiao Jianguo? It's totally unjust.
"Grandma, let's split up the family. Grandpa is old and it's time for him to enjoy his retirement. Third and fourth uncles don't love my grandpa, but my dad and eldest uncle do. We do. Grandpa is ours to take care of. At such an old age, they still treat him like a cow. You can't stand it..."
