"Mom, don't bother with the Ma family anymore."
"Xiao Tao, you too, you didn't come to your sister to be bullied."
"Just let it be. Don't worry about it. Your brother-in-law and I will take care of it. There's no need for us to suffer any injustice. Got it?"
"Some people just can't be pampered, or they'll get in the way."
"Mom, since you and my little brother are here, just treat yourself as a member of this family. There's no need to be so cautious."
Jiang Yuzhu knew that her mother must have prevented her younger brother from causing trouble, fearing that it would bring trouble to her and Xu Lei.
It is better to have less trouble than more.
But sometimes, even if you don't cause trouble, trouble will find you.
So there is no need to be so careful.
My mother and brother will be staying here for a long time. How can we endure everything?
"Oh, Mom knows."
Jiang's mother nodded. She was initially afraid of causing trouble for her daughter and son-in-law, but some people were indeed hateful.
Xu Lei took the broken gun and went to the Ma family.
"Lao Xu, why are you here?"
"Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down."
"What are you standing there for, bitch? Hurry up and pour some water for Captain Xu!"
Captain Ma was very happy to see Xu Lei coming over. The two hadn't gotten together to chat for a long time.
"No need, sister-in-law."
"Lao Ma, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you." Xu Lei thought about it and decided to go out and talk to Lao Ma alone about this matter.
He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his wife and children.
"What's wrong?"
Captain Ma looked at Xu Lei's expression and felt a pang in his heart. Could it be that his wife was quarreling with his brother's wife again?
This woman is no longer acceptable. Xu Lei’s wife is already eight months pregnant, yet she dares to mess with her.
"Old Ma, you know me. We've known each other for so many years, and we understand each other. I'm not someone who likes to cause trouble."
"But I have to come to you and explain this matter today, because I'm afraid it will get even worse later."
When Captain Ma heard what Xu Lei said, his heart was completely broken.
"Did that woman make my sister-in-law angry again? I... I'll let her go back to her hometown right now to avoid trouble!" Captain Ma's forehead buzzed and he was very angry.
"Old Ma, this isn't about your sister-in-law, it's about... your son Ma Zhuang."
Xu Lei grabbed Captain Ma.
"Ma Zhuang?"
"This kid..."
Captain Ma didn't hear what happened to his son.
"Take a look at this." Xu Lei handed the broken gun made of a bullet shell to Captain Ma.
"This..." Captain Ma took the gun, looked at it, and found it was broken.
"Here's what happened. I made a gun for my brother-in-law using bullet shells. He was so happy. As you know, my wife is very pregnant and is about to give birth, so my mother-in-law brought my brother-in-law here to help."
"Every day I do laundry, cook, clean the house, and take care of my wife."
"This child is also sensible. You can see that he does morning exercises with me every morning, and then helps with the housework when he gets home. After finishing his work, he goes out to play with Jiang Dong, Jiang Nan, Zhang Wei, and Zhang Qiang."
"I was worried the kids would get bored, so I wanted to make some toys for them. Today, when they were playing, your Ma Zhuang saw them. Because he's young, the brothers didn't dare to do anything to him. Not only did he break the gun, he also pushed my brother-in-law and injured him."
"You know my wife's temper. She was so angry that she wanted to come over to your house to settle the score with her big belly, but I stopped her."
"Old Ma, I didn't come here for any other reason, but I have to say hello to you. Your Ma Zhuang was wrong about what happened today, and I won't ask him to apologize to his brothers. But if something like this happens again in the future, I will support my brother-in-law if he defends his rights. I also ask you and sister-in-law to understand."
"Also, I don't want your aunt to go and say anything to my mother-in-law, and I don't want your sister-in-law to come to my house and make trouble with my wife. My wife is going to give birth soon, and I don't want things to get to the point where there's no way around it."
Xu Lei’s meaning was very clear: take good care of your mother, wife and son.
Also, if your son takes advantage of his young age to bully my brother-in-law in the future, it is reasonable for my brother-in-law to fight back. Don't make trouble.
If you dare to come to my house and cause trouble, and affect my wife, things will become serious.
"Lao Xu, this... I'm really sorry."
"Look, I'm going to take this lawless brat into custody and make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble."
"Wait for me." Captain Ma hurried back to the house and took out the eggs.
"Take this as an apology to your brother-in-law. Is he seriously injured? I... I'll buy two more cans of food for the child tomorrow."
Xu Lei looked at Captain Ma and took the eggs. "No need for the cans. I'll take these eggs for my brother-in-law."
Xu Lei left with a basket of eggs.
"Why did you take the eggs away from him? If you give the eggs to others, what will we eat?" Captain Ma's wife was very anxious when she saw her husband gave away the eggs in the house.
But she didn't dare interrupt.
My man looks unhappy. What happened?
"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat. Why don't you take care of your son?"
"Did you know that he got into trouble?" Captain Ma questioned his wife.
"This... the child is so young, what kind of trouble can he get into? Don't scare him."
Captain Ma’s wife didn’t take it seriously at all.
She thinks her son is a good person.
"I can't explain it to you clearly!" Captain Ma walked into the room and picked up Ma Zhuang, who was hiding in the corner.
Ma Zhuang felt guilty when he saw Xu Lei coming.
Just hide it.
"Grandma, help!" Ma Zhuang quickly shouted for help from his grandma.
Seeing her grandson being lifted up by her son, Mrs. Ma's face flushed red and she hurried to save him. "Hey, what are you doing? Put the child down!"
"Mom, I must teach this kid a lesson today, and no one can stop me." After saying that, Captain Ma carried his son into the house and locked the door.
This time, only the father and the daughter were left in the room.
"Tell me, what did you do today?" Battalion Commander Ma pointed at Ma Zhuang.
"I... wuwu... Mom, grandma, help!" Ma Zhuang still wanted to rush out to find his mother and grandma to save him.
But Battalion Commander Danma was sure that he must teach this kid a lesson today. If he didn't, someone else would, and it would be even more embarrassing then.
"No matter who you call today, it won't work." Battalion Commander Ma picked up a feather duster and started spanking Ma Zhuang on the butt.
Pah pah…
"Oh, stop hitting him, or you'll hurt the child!" Old Mrs. Ma and Captain Ma's wife outside the house were both heartbroken.
