Zhao Jianfei's eyes lit up instantly, especially when he saw the animal fat seeping through the kraft paper; he was extremely excited.
His mouth was really sweet, calling him "Third Brother" this and "Third Brother" that, completely lacking his previous arrogant and domineering aura.
But he completely forgot that Zhao Jianhua was not like his honest and simple older brothers. This was a real street thug, and in some ways, he was more like a slippery eel than him.
Zhao Jianhua once again used his advantage, leading Zhao Jianfei in circles around the town, successfully shaking him off.
He went to the textile factory and the police station as fast as he could, then took a shortcut home without looking back.
By the time Zhao Jianfei finally realized where to stake out the place, Zhao Jianhua had already returned home and was strolling over to Old Li's house with the last piece of meat.
The fourth brother and his wife also arrived at Linjiazhuang.
The whole family entered the house peacefully. The fourth son's wife and her mother hugged each other and cried loudly.
The fourth brother was completely bewildered; he genuinely had no idea why his mother-in-law and wife were crying.
Although they haven't come back often over the years, they haven't gone several years without seeing each other like the older brother and sister-in-law. Why are they crying so bitterly?
"My good daughter, your good days have finally come!"
The fourth brother was numb; it turns out he cried because he felt hopeful about the future.
The father-in-law, standing to the side, was also at a loss for words. After pondering for a long time, he finally patted his son-in-law on the shoulder.
“Let’s go outside and talk, let the mother and daughter have a private chat. You also need to tell me what’s been going on at your family lately, I’m so curious.”
The father-in-law and son-in-law went to the main room and sat down. Zhao Jianshe picked out some things that everyone knew and added some details to tell his father-in-law.
As for the cooperative order with the breeding farm, Zhao Jianshe knew a little about it but didn't mention it. After all, his father hadn't told him about it when he came to his father-in-law's house this time.
If he accidentally said something inappropriate, and his father didn't want to involve his father-in-law in the collaboration, it could lead to an unpleasant situation and make things awkward for the couple at home.
Especially for one's own wife, it wouldn't be good if she ended up pleasing neither side.
When the fourth son's wife's brothers and sisters-in-law learned that their sister had returned to her parents' home, they all warmly brought various kinds of food and rushed towards the elderly couple.
"Little Huizi is finally back. Your parents were just saying this morning that they would bring you some eggs tomorrow."
The speaker was Lin Hui's second sister-in-law, the wife of the fourth son. She was a female worker at the meat processing plant, and her husband was a pig butcher at the slaughterhouse.
The town distributed grain and eggs, and since it's a holiday today, my husband and I went home to deliver some eggs to the elderly couple to help them recover.
He smiled broadly when he saw his sister-in-law and her husband arrive.
Speaking of Lin Hui, she has four sisters-in-law, and she has the best relationship with her second sister-in-law.
Before Lin Hui married Zhao Laosi, the two were best friends who grew up together and were even deskmates in school.
Later, Lin Hui's grandfather, who was an accountant, passed away, and the Lin family completely declined.
Otherwise, given Zhao Youcai's family's circumstances and the original owner's unpleasant temper, he really wouldn't have been able to marry Lin Hui, such a good daughter-in-law.
"Second sister-in-law!"
Although Lin Hui is a very introverted person, she becomes extroverted when she is with her second sister-in-law, with whom she grew up.
The two of them sat arm in arm, leaning affectionately against each other opposite the old lady of the Lin family. Soon, laughter filled the room.
Old Master Lin and his second son were speechless in the main room with their son-in-law, Zhao Jianshe.
Women are really strange, crying one minute and laughing the next.
Soon, the children from the same village entered the courtyard one after another. The women went to the kitchen to busy themselves with their laughter, while the men sat around the table in the main room and started playing cards.
The fourth brother was as comfortable as if he were in heaven, while the eldest brother was as if he had been plunged into hell.
Originally, the eldest son and his wife did not return to the wife's parents' home. The wife's family knew that their daughter was being abused by the family, but they felt embarrassed to come and interfere in the young couple's messy affairs.
After all, none of Zhao Youcai's family members were easy to deal with. They were used to being honest, and no matter if they argued or fought, they were no match for the Zhao family.
But the situation is different now.
Zhao Jianguo accompanied his wife back to her parents' home alone, so they could easily surround and beat him up.
Only by letting Zhao Jianguo know what it feels like to be beaten will he learn to restrain himself.
The eldest son's wife's family was unaware that Zhao Youcai had changed so much, and as a result, Zhao Jianguo had been disciplined and was much more obedient than before.
At this moment, the whole family was like a three-court trial, with everyone sitting around Zhao Jianguo and standing in the very center.
Zhao Jianguo had never experienced anything like this before, and he was immediately a little flustered.
He suddenly seemed to understand why his father wouldn't let his wife bring the two little ones home to visit their maternal grandparents.
It was clear the old man had calculated this perfectly; he wanted his father-in-law's family to give him a good beating so he could vent his anger. If his children saw this, he would lose face as a father, and they might become disobedient in the future.
To be honest, Zhao Jianguo is really overthinking things.
Zhao Youcai simply felt that his grandchildren would have to go to school the next morning, and if they were too tired or too excited to sleep, they might fall asleep in class and miss what the teacher was saying, thus falling behind in their studies.
Zhao Jianguo was surrounded and verbally abused by his brother-in-law and his younger brother-in-law. Suddenly, it was as if he had an epiphany, and he began to empathize deeply with the wife he had beaten.
They both ate a full meal.
The difference is that one eats stewed meat, while the other eats a broom.
Meanwhile, the third son is making good progress; he was finally not kicked out of the Li family after delivering meat.
Although Li's second brother still pointed his nose at him, he no longer reacted with the same urge to touch him as before.
Grandma Li even brought him a bowl of sweet soup, which made Zhao Jianhua feel flattered.
"You can keep this sweet soup to nourish your bodies. I'll just drink some plain water."
Zhao Jianhua actually meant to say that the sweet soup was for Li's daughter, but he changed his mind and said the whole Li family instead of Li's daughter.
The old lady of the Li family looked at Zhao Jianhua with a smile in her eyes, and she was secretly satisfied.
After observing him for a while, I found that Zhao Laosan is indeed quite reliable, which is very different from his previous sly ways.
Although their farm work was still as poor as ever, they, as fellow villagers, all benefited from Zhao Youcai finding a way for the village to make money.
With such a capable father, even if you can't do farm work, you won't go hungry.
They'll have no worries about food and clothing, and even with few work points, their standard of living won't be affected. If their daughter were to marry into the family, her life would be much better than staying at home as an old maid.
We're all from the same village, so if I'm ever wronged, I can always go back to my parents' home.
Moreover, she has many sons who are always available to support her 24/7.
