I went to visit my parents-in-law during the New Year with nothing in my hands, which was really laughable.

The key point is that in addition to Qin Jinlian and Liu Cuihua, there were many villagers around who heard that the Shen family's city son-in-law had returned to the village and ran over to watch the fun.

Dozens of pairs of eyes are watching.

Judging from appearance alone, Pei Yang was far superior, and his manners were so thorough that there was nothing to fault with him.

In comparison, Zhou Shuhuan was inferior in every aspect and lacked even basic etiquette.

Everyone in Shenjiagou was silently shaking their heads at Liu Cuihua's son-in-law.

Liu Cuihua's face looked extremely ugly, and Zhou Shuhuan was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

It can be said that Zhou Shuhuan was wronged. He had not planned to come to his parents-in-law's house, but Shen Baolan insisted on coming back. He was worried about her, so he specially sent Shen Baolan back. He had good intentions.

But Ma Sufen hated her daughter-in-law Shen Baolan so much that she wanted to kick Shen Baolan out of the house. Naturally, it was impossible for her to prepare any etiquette for Shen Baolan to return home.

The financial and political power of the Zhou family was controlled by Ma Sufen. The little money Zhou Shuhuan had was barely enough for travel expenses and he couldn't even afford to buy some fruit.

Pei Yang is a righteous man who will always stand up for his brothers when they are in trouble.

"Shuhuan, don't just stand there, hurry up and take your things over. I've been carrying them for you all the way."

As he said this, he took out half of the cigarettes, alcohol and candy in his hand.

When he prepared the things, he prepared even numbers for the sake of luck, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of it now.

Zhou Shuhuan also reacted quickly and took the thing from Pei Yang.

"Brother Yang, thank you for your help."

"You're being polite. It's inconvenient for you to take care of your wife, so of course I have to help."

Looking at what Zhou Shuhuan was holding, Liu Cuihua's expression became much better, but Qin Jinlian was unhappy.

I thought she couldn't see that her son-in-law was covering up for Liu Cuihua's son-in-law.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Cuihua, the things your son-in-law bought are exactly the same as my Pei Yang's. If you don't know, you would think that my Pei Yang bought them for him."

Shen Baolan didn't play dead this time and jumped out, "Aunt Qin, Pei Yang and Shu Huan are brothers who grew up together wearing open-crotch pants. They share happiness and hardship. It's nothing to help buy some things."

Pei Yang didn't want Zhou Shuhuan to lose face, so he echoed, "Yes, Shuhuan and I are as close as brothers, and we usually share the same job."

Qin Jinlian was unable to swallow her anger and wanted to say something, but Shen Mingzhu became impatient.

"If you have anything to say, can you please go home and talk? I'm almost freezing to death."

Pei Yang also hurriedly said, "Mom, let's go back first. Mingzhu is carsick and doesn't feel well."

Qin Jinlian then reluctantly took her family of three back home, and glared at Liu Cuihua before leaving.

Liu Cuihua rolled her eyes in response, not wanting to be outdone, and also asked Shen Baolan and her husband to go home.

The people from Shenjiagou also dispersed and went home, commenting on the two sons-in-law as they went.

Although Qin Jinlian was unhappy, her unhappiness was directed at Liu Cuihua. She still liked Pei Yang, her city son-in-law. As soon as she entered the door, she called someone out to greet Pei Yang, and went to the chicken coop to catch an old hen, and slaughtered it to treat Pei Yang.

A large pot of roast chicken with taro, plus the fried fish, fried meatballs and fried tofu that were not finished during the Chinese New Year, barely made up a fairly sumptuous table of dishes.

The Shen family treated Pei Yang, their son-in-law from the city, as a guest of honor. They opened the wine that Pei Yang brought on the spot. Shen Jianguo and his two sons drank with Pei Yang.

Qin Jinlian kept helping Pei Yang pick up food, piling Pei Yang's bowl as high as a mountain.

The two sisters-in-law greeted Shen Mingzhu and Pei Ziheng warmly, but Shen Mingzhu had no appetite and the food tasted just average, so she just ate two bites and stopped.

He had lived in the city since he was a child, eating only fine grains, and was not used to anything in the countryside.

Sister-in-law Du Juan had experience in childbirth and saw that Pei Ziheng was not used to the coarse grains in the countryside, so she said to Shen Mingzhu, "We have eggs at home, how about I make some egg custard for Ziheng?"

Shen Mingzhu turned around and asked Pei Ziheng if he wanted to eat.

Pei Ziheng nodded.

Du Juan got up and went to the kitchen.

Qin Jinlian on the opposite side smiled faintly, but didn't say anything.

After dinner, Shen Jianguo and his two sons sat on the kang with Pei Yang to drink tea. When the alcohol had almost worn off, they took Pei Yang out.

The son-in-law from the city has finally come back, so he must be taken out to be seen by the villagers and shown off.

Qin Jinlian and her two sisters-in-law cleaned up the pots and pans. Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Ziheng to play with Daya, while she went to her eldest brother and sister-in-law's room to rest.

She didn't want to sleep in her brother's and sister-in-law's room, but her room was occupied.

As for why he didn't go to his second brother and sister-in-law's room to rest, one reason was that he was not familiar with his second brother and sister-in-law, and the other was that he was still feeling aggrieved about the fact that his room was occupied.

The earthen kangs in rural areas were very warm to sleep on, and Shen Mingzhu fell asleep quickly.

Until Qin Jinlian woke me up——

"Don't bother me, let me sleep for a while."

Shen Mingzhu muttered something unhappily, turned over and prepared to continue sleeping, but Qin Jinlian was not someone who was easily dismissed.

"Don't sleep anymore, get up, I have something to ask you."

Shen Mingzhu closed her eyes and didn't want to pay attention. Qin Jinlian just kept talking to herself, "What about the cigarettes, alcohol, and candies that the son-in-law gave to Liu Cuihua's son-in-law? Just gave them away for free?"

Shen Mingzhu closed her eyes and replied, "Pei Yang bought the things. He can give them to whoever he wants."

"You make it sound so easy. Those things were originally brought to our house, but Pei Yang gave them away without hesitation. Now your father and I only have this much. This son-in-law brought this little thing when he first came to our house. I don't know what the villagers will say about him!"

I can't sleep anymore.

Shen Mingzhu simply sat up cross-legged, "If that's what you mean, then I won't bring Pei Yang back with me in the future. If I carry too many things, he'll feel bad, and if I carry too few things, you'll be unhappy. So I might as well not come back, and everyone will be happy."

Qin Jinlian raised her hand and patted her, "You silly girl, you've only been married for half a year and you've already turned your back on others? I really raised you in vain!"

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "Why didn't you say you raised me for nothing when you received the betrothal gift?"

Qin Jinlian choked and glanced at her flat belly. "Baolan's belly is so big, why don't you make any movement?"

Shen Mingzhu thought to herself that Pei Yang and I only held hands, so it would be strange if there was movement in her stomach.

Qin Jinlian didn't know what she was thinking, and continued to talk in a nagging manner: "You have to hurry up and give birth while you are still young. Only the child born from your belly is your own child. If it is born by someone else, no matter how much you love and care for them, you can't raise them. Don't be so stupid..."

"Whether I have a child or not is my own business. Don't worry about it. If you are really anxious to have a baby, you can either ask my second brother and his wife to have another one, or you can have two or three. I don't care..."

Outside the door, Pei Ziheng listened to the conversation in the room with an expressionless face, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of cold frost.

According to calculations, someone is about to be in trouble.

You said you had nothing to do, so why did you provoke the little villain?
