Two years ago, the commune showed a movie, and Han Zhuang and the young people from the village went to the commune to watch it. Li Qiaoqiao also went to the commune to watch the movie with people from her village.
Li Qiaoqiao was beautiful and knew how to dress. Han Zhuang took a liking to her at first sight.
Everyone was young. Soon, the people from the two villages started talking to each other.
At first, Li Qiaoqiao didn't like Han Zhuang and didn't pay much attention to him. Later, when she heard that his second brother was a regimental commander in the army, Li Qiaoqiao's attitude changed. Soon, the two became a couple.
By the time Grandma Han and Tang Huihui found out, the news had spread throughout the village. They looked down on Li Qiaoqiao, but they were also afraid that Li Qiaoqiao would accuse Han Zhuang of being a hooligan.
The Li family felt that Han Zhuang had a capable older brother, so he wouldn't have to live with his parents anymore. Grandma Han and Tang Huihui weren't bad mothers-in-law either.
Soon, Han Zhuang and Li Qiaoqiao got married. Xiao Man and Han Bin didn't come back for their wedding, but they sent a generous gift.
Han Zhuang liked Li Qiaoqiao very much. When Li Qiaoqiao said she wasn't going back, Han Zhuang panicked: "Qiaoqiao, please don't not go back!"
Li Qiaoqiao: "I won't go back unless your mother comes back."
“This… Mother,” Han Zhuang wanted his mother-in-law to persuade Li Qiaoqiao.
His mother-in-law not only didn't try to dissuade him, but also fueled the fire: "Zhuangzhuang, Wang Xiaoman is your mother's daughter-in-law, and Qiaoqiao is also your mother's daughter-in-law. Why does your mother only serve Wang Xiaoman and not Qiaoqiao?"
Hearing this, Li Qiaoqiao got even angrier: "Han Zhuang, if your mother doesn't come back, I... I won't have the baby."
Han Zhuang was terrified: "No, no, I'll let my mother come back. I'll let my mother come back, okay?"
Li Qiaoqiao's mother: "Then what about your second sister-in-law?"
“I asked my second sister-in-law to bring the children back with her.”
Li Qiaoqiao's mother: "Alright. Go back and discuss it. Come back and pick up Qiaoqiao when you've decided."
Han Zhuang wanted to take Li Qiaoqiao back right now: "Mother, I want to take Qiaoqiao back right now."
Li Qiaoqiao: "I'll go back when your mother comes back."
Li Qiaoqiao's mother: "You should discuss it before you come."
Han Zhuang had no choice but to leave alone.
Tian Dahua was feeding the chickens in the yard when Han Zhuang returned: "Zhuangzhuang, didn't you go to pick up Qiaoqiao? Where is Qiaoqiao?"
"Qiaoqiao isn't coming back."
"Does she want to stay at her parents' house for a few more days?"
"no."
"That……"
Han Zhuang looked into the house: "Is Father home?"
"exist."
"I'm going to talk to my dad about something."
"Go."
Han Dashan was smoking when Han Zhuang came in: "Dad, I need to discuss something with you."
"What are you discussing?"
"I want my mother to come back."
Han Dashan frowned: "Should I ask your mother to come back?"
"Hmm. Look, Qiaoqiao is pregnant too. If my mother doesn't come back..."
"What? Did your mother-in-law say something to you?"
"Um."
Han Dashan glared at Han Zhuang: "You just ask your mother to come back because your mother-in-law is talking to you? Don't you know your brother is away at school? Your sister-in-law is taking care of two kids all by herself?"
"Then let Second Sister-in-law, Nao Nao, and Tengteng come back too."
Han Dashan glanced at Han Zhuang. "The children are so young, they can't take any more stress. Your grandma and your sister-in-law are enough at home."
“No. My mother-in-law said that if my mother doesn’t come back, Qiaoqiao won’t come back either.”
Han Dashan got angry as soon as he heard that: "If you don't want to come back, then don't come back."
"Father, you..."
Before Han Zhuang could finish speaking, Grandma Han came in.
Li Qiaoqiao didn't return, and Han Zhuang went straight to Han Dashan as soon as he entered the door. Tian Dahua sensed something was wrong and told Grandma Han. Grandma Han listened outside for a while. After understanding what was happening, Grandma Han came in. "Your father is right. If she doesn't want to come back, then she can stay at her parents' house."
"Grandma, Qiaoqiao is already married, how can she stay at her parents' house all the time?"
Grandma Han glanced at Han Zhuang: "Other wives have to work in the fields even when they're pregnant. But your wife is different; she refuses to work as soon as she gets pregnant. Fine, we don't need her work points. But she's so arrogant. It's not enough for your sister-in-law and me to be here; your mother has to come back. Go tell your mother-in-law that she's not coming back."
"grandmother……"
Grandma Han glared at Han Zhuang: "Go."
"grandmother……"
"Are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll send your older brother." Grandma Han didn't want to talk to Li Qiaoqiao at first, but Li Qiaoqiao was getting more and more outrageous.
"Grandma, how about I have my sister-in-law go and bring my mother back?"
*Smack!* Han Dashan slammed his hand on the table: "Splitting up the family!"
Grandma Han hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Okay."
Han Zhuang was dumbfounded: "Father, I don't want to separate the family."
Han Dashan looked at Han Zhuang and said, "Don't you listen to your mother-in-law? Fine! I'll separate you and that troublemaker right now, and you can live however you want. Let whoever wants to serve you can serve you. Your mother and grandmother and I don't need you to take care of us, and you shouldn't expect us to serve you either. Eldest son, eldest son's wife, come in."
Han Gui and Tian Dahua walked in from outside.
Han Dashan: "You two go and tell Lao San's mother-in-law that I want to divide the family property."
Han Gui nudged Han Zhuang: "Quickly apologize to your father."
“I… Father, I don’t want to separate from the family.”
Han Dashan: "It's me who wants to split it up. I've wanted to kick you two out for a long time. Boss, go."
Grandma Han also disliked Li Qiaoqiao: "Your father tells you to go, so you go."
Han Gui: "Alright then."
Li Qiaoqiao and her mother were eating dumplings when Han Gui and Tian Dahua arrived. "Brother, sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
Han Gui felt that Li Qiaoqiao was good for nothing except for her good looks: "Father wants to divide the family property."
"A family split up?!"
"Um."
"I won't separate." If she separates from the family, she'll have to cook for herself, take care of the children herself, and earn work points on her own.
Li Qiaoqiao's mother didn't want to separate the family property either. If they didn't separate, her daughter would have a share of everything Han Bin and Xiaoman sent back. But if they separated, her daughter wouldn't get anything. "Why did you suddenly decide to separate the family property?"
Han Gui thought to himself: "Isn't this all your fault? My father sent me to tell you that if you want to go, then go; if you don't want to go, then forget it."
Han Dashan wanted to divide the family property, so Li Qiaoqiao's parents would definitely have to go. Li Qiaoqiao also came back with them.
As soon as Li Qiaoqiao's mother entered the door, she grabbed Grandma Han's hand: "Grandma, how are you feeling?"
Grandma Han hummed in agreement.
"Grandpa, isn't it more lively when the whole family lives together?"
Grandma Han glanced at Li Qiaoqiao: "It's lively. But some people are never satisfied."
"This... old man, are you sure you don't have some misunderstanding? You see, Qiaoqiao is pregnant, it's not appropriate for us to separate now, is it?"
“What’s inappropriate about it? Doesn’t your daughter think that her sister-in-law and I can’t take care of her? After the family splits up, you can move in. If you don’t want to move in, the two of them can move in with you.”
"This... Grandpa, Qiaoqiao... Qiaoqiao was just playing around with Zhuangzhuang. Look, isn't Qiaoqiao back now?"
Han Dashan: "Even if this didn't happen, I still want to separate the family. All three brothers are married, and we're getting old, so we can't manage so much anymore."
Neither Li Qiaoqiao nor her mother wanted to divide the property. Li Qiaoqiao's mother thought for a moment and said, "My dear in-law, how about this: we can divide it after Qiaoqiao gives birth to the child." They could then say the child was too young and it would be a few more years.
