Mr. Fan glared at Fan Xiaohua and said, "You better behave yourself."
Mother Fan sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked:
"What do you mean? Xiaohua, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Fan Xiaohua wasn't afraid of her father at all, and rolled her eyes as she replied:
"What else could it mean? It means becoming someone's live-in son-in-law."
As if she had just realized something, Fan's mother jumped up.
"Are you going to become Yuan Min's live-in son-in-law?"
I won't allow it, I won't allow it.
Don't even think about it. Either she marries into the family, or you marry someone else's daughter.
Don't even think about letting my son become their live-in son-in-law.
"Dream on! She can't even have a son herself, so she wants someone else's? Shameless!"
Mother Fan became agitated, and as she spoke, she even stood in the yard with her hands on her hips and started cursing.
Fan Tiesheng seemed to be thinking about something and completely ignored his mother.
Mr. Fan touched his forehead weakly. He was so tired, really so tired.
It's not physical exhaustion, it's mental exhaustion.
When will this end?
Xiaohua got married a couple of years ago, and she's been living a peaceful life ever since.
Since Fan Xiaohua came back, life has been even more chaotic than before.
She's such a worry.
But I can't bring myself to kick her out.
After all, she's her own daughter.
If we don't kick them out, look what trouble they've caused this family.
The old woman listens to her very much, and she makes a big fuss over the smallest things.
He opened his mouth, wanting to try and persuade his wife.
He really didn't know how to say it; he felt so helpless.
Fan Tiesheng, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
The voice was flat and emotionless, faint and lifeless, as if it had no soul.
"You won't let me become a live-in son-in-law."
Who do you think would be blind enough to marry into our family?
Don't you know our family situation?
Go outside and listen to what other people are saying.
People say: A woman should not marry Fan Tiesheng.
With a heartless sister-in-law like Fan Xiaohua around, they wouldn't even know how they died.
No man should marry Fan Xiaohua, otherwise his family will be in turmoil, he will have no good days, and he will be cheated on.
In a situation like this, do you think anyone would still marry into our family?
I'm afraid that if he were to become a live-in son-in-law, other people would still look down on him.
Mother, I am your son, your own flesh and blood.
As the saying goes: the emperor loves his eldest son, and the common people love their youngest son.
Why do you dislike me so much? Do you hope I never get married and stay a bachelor for life?
Are you still my mother?
Mother Fan was somewhat at a loss: "Is it really true?"
Nobody told me that.
She's not a likable person; nobody in the village can get along with her.
Gradually, she stopped liking to go to the village.
So she didn't know about the gossip in the village.
Only Fan Xiaohua would wander around the village from early morning to late at night.
When I get back, I'll tell her about what's happening in the village.
As for the gossip about their family, she really didn't know.
Fan Xiaohua hadn't told her either.
Zhang Xing couldn't hold back any longer: "Of course you don't know, because there are some people who would never tell you what others are saying about our family?"
Wang Yueyue chimed in, "What's so bad about that? There are even worse ones out there..."
Mother Fan looked at her, her eyes a little red: "What else? Tell me."
Wang Yueyue pouted: "I dare not say it, it sounds awful."
If I were to tell anyone, there would probably be more unrest at home.
Mother Fan then looked at Zhang Xing and said, "You speak."
Zhang Xing didn't have as many concerns as Wang Yueyue.
Anyway, she had long disliked Fan's mother and Fan Xiaohua.
Outsiders are saying that your daughter is the child of your lover.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have unconditionally sided with her.
Fan's mother was stunned for a moment, then jumped up.
"I'm talking nonsense! Who said that? Step forward!"
Who exactly said that?
Her eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Zhang Xing: "Tell me, who exactly said that?"
"I'll tear him apart!"
Zhang Xing acted as if it had nothing to do with me: "Many people outside are saying that."
Fan Tieniu tugged at her: "Don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Xing shook off his hand: "Why are you pulling me?"
It wasn't me who said that.
That's what everyone's saying, and they're saying much worse things than this.
Mother Fan gritted her teeth: "What else did you say? Tell me everything."
Ignoring Fan Tieniu's attempts to stop her, Zhang Xing blurted everything out.
These days, they have to put up with the bad temper of Fan's mother and Fan Xiaohua at home.
When they go outside, others look at them with strange eyes.
I've been so angry I've wanted to explode for a long time.
Since his parents are so eager to know, he should just tell them.
People say you were restless when you were young.
They even said that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too, and the daughter they raised will be just like them.
"Any family that marries someone like you is doomed for eight generations."
She was really going all out; seeing how angry Fan's mother was, she couldn't be happier.
Fan's mother's expression was very varied; first she was angry, then panicked, and then afraid.
He looked at Fan's father, his voice trembling slightly:
"Old man, do you believe what they say?"
Don't you know what kind of person I am?
As she spoke, she even shed tears of grievance.
What terrible things has she done?
Why would anyone wrong her like this?
Are they trying to force her to die?
Mr. Fan sighed. He knew his wife quite well.
So no matter what others said, he ignored it.
While everyone remained silent, Zhang Xing spoke up again.
"If you want Tiesheng to not be a bachelor, the only way is to go to Yuan Min's house."
No one else would marry their daughter to him.
Even if you go to their door, they won't agree.
If it weren't for Yuan Min's special circumstances, they wouldn't have agreed.
I didn't see your son trying so hard to please you.
If you cause any more trouble, he might end up a bachelor for life.
Fan Tieniu yelled, "Enough! Can't you just shut up?"
Zhang Xing looked impatient: "Why are you yelling at me?"
If you're going to yell, yell at Fan Xiaohua!
She was the one who caused all of this.
Even when we go out, people don't give us a friendly look.
Wang Yueyue also stood up and said, "That's right, she has ruined our family's reputation."
How will our children get married in the future?
Fan Tiechui casually remarked, "Mother, you should find someone to help her get married. She shouldn't be causing trouble at home."
Fan Xiaohua was immediately displeased when she heard her say that.
"What have I done to cause trouble?"
Did I eat your food or drink your water?
"The family has already separated; you're meddling way too much."
Fan Tiechui glared at her fiercely:
“If you dare to tarnish our family’s reputation again and make my son a laughingstock when he goes out, I will kill you.”
When he said this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
This startled Fan Xiaohua, who dared not say anything more to him, fearing she would suffer the consequences.
At home, this older brother, like Fan Tiesheng, disliked her.
Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he hit her hard when he did.
She quickly turned her head towards Fan's mother, looking pitiful with tears streaming down her face.
"Mother, I will not marry anyone. I will stay with you for the rest of my life."
Mother Fan felt a pang of heartache: "Silly child, what is there for an old woman like me to guard?"
You're still young, how can you not get married?
