Zhou Xiaolan physically injured Li Lijuan, and then she had the audacity to scheme against Hua's son-in-law.
Tian Guihua didn't care about any of that. Holding a glass of water, she stood at the Zhou family's door and cursed for a whole hour.
The Zhou family members hid in their rooms, too afraid to come out. With Tian Guihua's fierce temper, none of them could withstand her if they went out.
He secretly resented them, thinking that even though Xiaolan was married off this week, they still couldn't have a moment's peace.
Why did you have to go looking for Jiang Yi, who's connected to the Hua family?
If you had moved in, there would have been no problem, but since you didn't move in and they got scolded, it's a huge loss no matter how you look at it.
They breathed a long sigh of relief when it finally quieted down outside.
Who knew that after replenishing her fluids, Tian Guihua would run off to the He family's house again...
The neighbors who were watching the commotion were speechless. They thought, "We can't afford to mess with them..."
As for the Zhou and He families, knowing they were in the wrong, they didn't dare to complain in the courtyard. However, they also didn't give Zhou Xiaolan and her husband a friendly look, and even turned them away when they came to visit.

The Hua family held two happy events in a row, ostensibly to express their gratitude to their neighbors for their help. The baby's one-month celebration was particularly lively, and the elderly people who came out to help were all honored guests. The neighbors all gave the Hua family a thumbs up, praising their generosity.
Some people who didn't get any benefit felt envious and thought that when Hua Zhian got married, if the Hua family held such a big banquet again, they would report them.
A few tables of food will consume a lot of meat, but it's not impossible to save up for it. However, if we hold two such banquets in a row, then there will really be a problem.
But after waiting and waiting, all that happened was that Hua Zhian and his wife handed out wedding candies, and then nothing more.
Some people couldn't sit still any longer and went up to Hua Zhian to sow discord, saying, "What's going on with your family? Your nephew's one-month celebration was a big banquet, but when it comes to yours, we're just getting a couple of candies?"
Hua Zhian said with a smile, "There's nothing I can do about it. We only have this much meat at home, and he's my only nephew, so I have to spoil him."
The man looked at Hua Zhian as if he were a fool. "I remember when your older brother got married, he invited all his relatives and friends to the wedding banquet. How come not a single relative or friend came to your wedding?"
As he spoke, the man looked at Hua Zhian with malice, "You weren't adopted, were you?"
These are all brothers; this favoritism is excessive.
Xie Lanqiao, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it and wanted to retort, but Hua Zhian stopped her.
The family had already discussed the wedding banquet. To avoid drawing attention, Hua Zhian's wedding would be mainly held at the bride's side. After all, they had come all this way to bring their daughter back, so they should host a banquet for relatives and friends to show how much they valued Xie Lanqiao.
So when Hua Zhian went there, he not only brought meat coupons, but also plenty of grain coupons, and held a lively wedding banquet in Kaoshantun.
Xie Lanqiao was naturally very satisfied. If she had to choose one place to hold the wedding banquet, she would naturally prefer her own family. The real beneficiaries would be her family and friends.
Furthermore, her in-laws were truly kind, bringing them a full ten catties of meat coupons, as well as a considerable amount of cured meat and fish, making her wedding banquet the first in the village, and everyone knew she had married into a good family.
As for not being able to hold a big celebration at her husband's family home, she wasn't disappointed. To be honest, with so much meat, it would be better to keep it at home and eat it slowly herself, rather than letting others benefit from it.
"Stop talking about me here. What about your family? Your eldest and second eldest brothers are already married. When will your wife finally come into the family?" Hua Zhian pressed on to the other man's sore spot, adding insult to injury. "Your two sisters-in-law have received quite a lot of dowry. I'm sure you won't be short of money either."
You saw our family's full moon celebration the other day; it will definitely be a level above our nephew's full moon banquet..."
The other person's face turned ugly. He glared at Hua Zhian before turning away, not forgetting to curse, "You really don't appreciate kindness. You deserve to be bullied by your family."
Hua Zhian led Xie Lanqiao to the next house to distribute wedding candy. "Don't pay attention to this kind of person. He's not doing well himself, so he thinks everyone else is like him."
There are three brothers in his family. The first two daughters-in-law demanded huge dowries, emptying their savings. They even had to borrow money from the factory themselves. Now he's quite old and still unmarried. I heard his family isn't going to take care of him anymore and is even considering giving him up for adoption to his second uncle..."
Xie Lanqiao was somewhat surprised, "Everyone says life in the city is better, I didn't expect that we would have to borrow money?"
And does that mean they don't have to care about him anymore after he's been adopted? Isn't he their son?
Hua Zhian found his daughter-in-law's way of understanding the city amusing. "Everyone thinks life in the city is better, as if there's gold to be found there?"
I work in a factory now, and although I get a fixed salary every month, the money doesn't last long.
Even a single scallion or a leafy green vegetable has to be bought, so everything has to be carefully budgeted. Unlike you, who have a vegetable garden in the countryside, at least you can guarantee your household expenses.
Many families manage to make ends meet by carefully managing their finances.
Those who also have to support their relatives and family members live worse lives than the rest of the villagers.
At least you can eat until you're 70% full, while some people can't even control themselves to being 50% full.
Xie Lanqiao was truly amazed. This was completely different from what she knew. Everyone was eager to come to the city, but she never expected that city dwellers would also be unhappy.
After delivering wedding candy to another family, Hua Zhian continued, "Our family isn't much better off than theirs. Look at the meat coupons you brought back for us before; we had saved them up in advance."
“But we’ve been eating plenty of meat at home these days,” Xie Lanqiao thought that everyone in the city lived such a good life, but now that Hua Zhian said this, she felt conflicted.
Although the Hua family didn't have meat at every meal, the eldest sister-in-law, who was in postpartum confinement, was never mistreated. She was given stewed or stir-fried chicken every day, and sometimes fish soup instead. By the time she finished her confinement, she was plump and healthy, which showed that she had been eating plenty of good food.
“That’s all because of Jiang Yi,” Hua Zhian stopped talking, handed over the wedding candy to the next family, and walked to a secluded place before continuing, “Have you seen him bringing things over every few days? Those are what he gets from hunting in the mountains, and he’ll send some home with him.”
"In addition, the Hua and Li families put a lot of effort into helping my sister-in-law with her postpartum care. They bought a lot of old hens from the neighborhood so that my sister-in-law could have meat with every meal for a month without any shortage of food."
As they were talking, the two arrived at the Zhou family's house. Xie Lanqiao didn't know who lived there and was about to knock on the door as before, but Hua Zhian grabbed her arm and said, "This is the Zhou family's house. Let's go to the next one."
Xie Lanqiao had heard about the feud between the two families. He glanced back and secretly noted down the location of the house. Since the two families were no longer in contact, he would have to be careful in the future.
And their ruthless daughter, I'll stay far away from her in the future.
