Upon arriving here, they separated and built their own houses, and the Mo and Zhou families were no exception.
Chen Ahua's family was small, so they built a small house right next to the Mo family's house.
Even if they had to separate, Chen Ahua didn't want to be too far from Su Nanxi, so when choosing a location, she insisted on choosing a place as close as possible to the Mo family.
Tao also hoped for the same, so he did his best to secure that piece of land.
The Zhou family's house is naturally next to the Mo family's house. Old Mrs. Mo had already planned it out long ago: the two houses are adjacent but not connected!
Although the Mo family did not split up, all three sons were married, and the children of the first two branches were all grown up. So, they each built a house side by side without any separating fences, and the large courtyards outside were all connected.
The family can still get together all the time, but when they rest, they each go back to their own little homes.
This way, everyone can have enough housing and their own private space without affecting unity. Although they may seem to be separated, they are actually still together!
The Zhou family followed the Mo family's example. Their sons were all married, and it was time for them to separate and give each other some space so that everyone could be more comfortable.
Each son has one house, and the elderly couple and their youngest daughter, Zhou Yuzhu, also share one house.
It's called a building, but it's actually just a two-story wooden attic.
The Zhou family's situation is quite different from the Mo family's, because the Mo family doesn't have as many messy things going on.
The presence of a woman surnamed He in the Zhou family has made everyone very unhappy.
From the initial selection of the location to the construction and layout of the house, the He family had many opinions, saying that this was not good and that would not work!
If the Zhou family says a few words to her, she starts crying and making a scene, saying that the Zhou family can't tolerate her anymore and that they have no conscience!
There are many rules to follow when building a house; how can it be successful if people are crying and wailing?
If there are repeated obstacles, it will definitely be bad luck, and the house will feel uneasy once it is built.
Therefore, even though the Zhou family was very angry, they held back for the time being.
Later, He Shi angered Zhou Changlin, and Zhou Changlin didn't care about etiquette anymore. He was almost going crazy, so why should he care about anything else!
Zhou Changlin immediately threatened He Shi, saying that if she kept arguing, he would immediately issue a divorce letter and make her get out of the house!
That's really giving her too much credit!
He caused trouble from time to time along the way, making things difficult for everyone, and even when scolded, he thought he was right!
They didn't give us much to eat afterwards, and I guess he was starving. He became much more obedient and didn't make a sound. I thought he had changed his personality!
Unexpectedly, it was just that there were no conditions!
Once things settled down, there was food to eat, and people ate until they were stuffed, they started to feel like they could be in charge again, giving orders and telling people what to do!
If you understand, then you won't say anything. But you don't understand anything, yet you love to pretend!
And they always find fault with others, making them furious!
Who does she think she is? When did it become her place to talk nonsense!
That's not even the worst part. What's most infuriating is that they're fighting with the second wife for territory and possessions!
This is absolutely unbearable!
What valuable things does the Zhou family still have?
The He family had already squandered everything back then!
Do you not even know what you've done, and you just want to turn the page?
Many of the things we have now are provided by the Mo family. The Mo family has already made clear arrangements, specifying how much to give to which family!
Those with more people receive more, and those with fewer people naturally receive less!
She has no right to complain when others give her gifts!
Shameless! They even tried to grab it in front of everyone, saying that the eldest son's wife should have more and the second son's wife should have less!
They were still arguing that since the two elders would be living with them in the future, their place should be the largest, and the second family should give up some space.
Who gave her that face?
None of the families who came together were like this; everyone was watching. They've completely disgraced their ancestors!
Like a grasshopper, it hopped around everywhere!
Zhou Changlin had long since lost patience with his wife and had considered divorcing her countless times along the way!
For various reasons, I couldn't make up my mind in the end. Later, I saw that He Shi had become much more honest and thought that she had repented. I hesitated for a long time, thinking that we had been through so much and that everyone had a hard time. For the sake of the child, I decided to give her a chance for now!
In the end, I was still disappointed. I just couldn't stand it!
Moreover, Zhou Changlin wasn't just talking; he really decided that once everything settled down, he would divorce his wife!
He didn't care about anything else. He had already endured until now, which was his limit. He hadn't given up halfway, so he had done his best!
If it were someone else, it wouldn't be so easy to say!
Isn't it because the Zhou family can't do anything to her that He dares to be so arrogant?
After being reprimanded by Zhou Changlin, He Shi dared not utter another word.
Her silence doesn't mean she thinks she's wrong!
She didn't think she had done anything wrong at all. Who wouldn't try to gain more benefits for themselves? Where did she go wrong?
She was the eldest daughter-in-law, the first wife, and traditionally she was entitled to the largest share of the inheritance. Why was that not the case in the Zhou family?
Isn't this blatant bullying of her first wife?
That doesn't make sense!
What's rightfully hers, we must fight for it!
Anyone would have done the same!
But seeing that Zhou Changlin didn't seem to be joking, she had no choice but to give up, no matter how unwilling she was!
I was extremely unwilling to accept it!
At the same time, she cursed Zhou Changlin in her heart, for not understanding her good intentions at all!
He doesn't know how to fight for his own things at all, and he always gives everything to his younger brother first. What, does his younger brother expect him to take care of him in his old age?
Are you out of your mind?!
If you don't fight for it at the beginning, once everything is settled and everything is set in stone, what's the point of arguing and making a fuss?
Pooh!
They don't understand anything, won't let anyone help them, and still think they're doing the right thing!
He'll have his comeuppance later!
No matter how much she cursed in her heart, she couldn't change reality; Zhou Changlin simply wouldn't let her appear again!
Go find somewhere cool and hide away!
In fact, the Zhou brothers' land was the same and divided very evenly. It's just that the He family wanted more and always felt that they were losing out!
Zhou Changlin lost his mood after this commotion and simply gave up, saying he only needed enough houses to live in!
The Mo family doesn't interfere in their affairs; let them do whatever they want!
Who wants to meddle in other people's family affairs?
On the other side of the Mo family's house was Mo Wenying's house. She was a married daughter, and to avoid trouble, she decided to live independently.
It's so convenient, being right next to my parents' home!
They can come over to the Mo family's place anytime, there's not much to say about it.
Mo Wenying loves everything she has now. On one side is her parents' home, and on the other side is her old neighbor, Chen Ahua's home. It's wonderful!
Extremely satisfied!
She has no in-laws to serve her, no one to set rules for her, and so many people to help her. She wouldn't trade this life for anything!
There's not much here now, but we can add things gradually, and slowly it will look like a home!
"Now that things have settled down, shouldn't we find something to do? Without income, I just can't feel at ease!"
"That's true! If we just sit here and live off the land, it'll be even more troublesome when it gets cold! But we don't know what the situation is outside, so what can we do?"
