Yao Xiujuan smiled slightly, tucked the scattered hair on her cheeks behind her ears, and said in a very gentle tone, "Xiuhe, you have to live your own life. If you only think about who your mother-in-law favors and who she treats well instead of taking care of your own family, sooner or later it will fall apart..."
After a pause, he asked, "By the way, is your brother-in-law on your side, or his mother's?"
Yao Xiuhe replied blankly, "Towards me..."
Yao Xiujuan breathed a sigh of relief and patted the back of Yao Xiuhe's hand. "Then what are you afraid of? Difficulties are only temporary. As long as your man is always by your side, don't be afraid of anything! It doesn't matter if it's his mother, brother's wife, elder or younger sister-in-law. As long as his heart is with you! You can be fearless, do you understand?"
Yao Xiuhe opened her mouth, "But..."
Yao Xiujuan hushed and continued, "There's nothing to worry about. All you have to do in the future is live a good life with him and your son. Don't think about anything else."
"The He family can make whatever trouble they want, just don't join in the fun."
Yao Xiuhe looked at Yao Xiujuan's determined eyes and nodded slowly, "Yeah."
"So how are my eldest sister and brother-in-law doing now? Are they doing well?"
Yao Xiujuan's eyes instantly showed tenderness when she heard this, "Okay, your brother-in-law has always been on my side..."
He paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "I'll tell you something. Don't tell your parents yet, so they don't worry."
Yao Xiuhe was puzzled, "What's the matter?"
Yao Xiujuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Your eldest brother-in-law said that we will separate after the New Year! Then we will be completely free..."
Yao Xiuhe was shocked, "Separate the family!"
Yao Xiujuan quickly covered her mouth, glanced at the door, and said nervously, "Shh, keep your voice down!"
"You heard it right, it's about splitting up the family..."
When Yao Xiuhe heard He Zhigang calling her to go home, she was still dizzy. She didn't expect so many things to have happened in her eldest sister's family in the past month.
However, no matter how it happens, things will get better and better.
Yao Xiuhe clenched her fists and thought to herself that she would definitely live a good life.
The two of them were walking on the way home. He Zhigang held the sleeping Goudan in his arms and asked doubtfully, looking at his absent-minded face, "Xiuhe, what's wrong with you? Did your elder sister say anything to you?"
Yao Xiuhe looked around and saw that there was no one nearby. She gritted her teeth and approached He Zhigang, "Zhigang, my eldest sister said that my eldest brother-in-law wants to separate from the family after the New Year."
He Zhigang stopped and looked at Yao Xiuhe in surprise, "What? Splitting up the family? How is that possible? Isn't my brother-in-law's mother still alive?"
Yao Xiuhe frowned in displeasure when she heard this. "What do you mean? What's wrong with splitting up the family? Why is it impossible? Does the state stipulate that you can't split up the family while your parents are still alive?"
He Zhigang quickly explained, "No, that's not what I meant..."
Yao Xiuhe's long-held dissatisfaction suddenly erupted, and she shouted, "What do you mean? Are you saying that even if your mother and your sister-in-law bully me in the future, I have to endure it? And be treated like a slave for the rest of my life?"
He Zhigang was stunned. He wanted to pull Yao Xiuhe's hand, but she slapped him away.
"Xiu, Xiuhe, weren't we talking about my brother-in-law wanting to split up the family business? How did this get to you..."
Yao Xiuhe felt aggrieved and wanted to make a scene, but she suddenly remembered her elder sister's repeated instructions to her to win over He Zhigang. She calmed down instantly, but her face and tone seemed particularly aggrieved.
"Zhigang, I know Mom doesn't like me. She usually assigns me all kinds of chores. I don't mind these things, but, but Mom... Woo woo woo... How long will I have to live like this..."
He Zhigang looked at Yao Xiuhe, who was sobbing with her hands covering her face, and panicked for a moment. He was at a loss as to what to do, and said, "Xiuhe, Xiuhe, don't cry. I know you have been wronged. I, I, I will never let you suffer any more in the future..."
"Xiuhe, don't cry..."
"Xiuhe..."
After a long while, Yao Xiuhe wiped away her tears and looked at the panicked He Zhigang with a slightly sad smile, "Zhigang, let's go home..."
He Zhigang opened his mouth and nodded slowly after a long time, "Okay, go home."
At this time, in the old Chu family, Liu Zhaodi walked forward with a happy face and hugged her third son who had not returned for a long time.
"Third brother, mother really misses you so much..."
Chu Wen smiled and patted Liu Zhaodi on the back, "Mom, isn't your son back?"
Liu Zhaodi said "OK" several times and pulled Chu Wen to walk towards the kang.
Chu Wen paused, looked sideways, and asked in confusion, "Mom, where are the fourth brother and the others? Why haven't I seen them?"
Everyone in the room fell silent, and Liu Zhaodi's face instantly fell. She sat on the kang and avoided answering.
Chu Wen was stunned when he saw this and looked at Chu Jun, "Brother, what's going on?"
Chu Jun glanced at Liu Zhaodi, who had a droopy face, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "Tian, he took his sister-in-law and Wu Ya back to her parents' home."
Chu Wen understood and said with a smile, "I thought something happened to the fourth child. I was so scared. It turns out that he went to visit relatives. It's the off-season now, so it's only natural for the fourth child to take his younger brother and sister-in-law to visit his mother's family."
Liu Zhaodi snorted coldly, "You are so kind, always thinking about the fourth brother."
"But he wasn't thinking about you..."
Chu Wen was puzzled, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Liu Zhaodi glanced at the people standing in the room, thought for a moment and said, "Boss, Boss's wife, take the children out to play for a while."
Chu Jun had no objection when he heard this and called the children to go out. Only Ma Cuihua was reluctant to leave. Finally, under Liu Zhaodi's unfriendly gaze, she reluctantly walked out of the house.
Chu Wen glanced at the empty room and called out "Mom?" with a calm expression.
Liu Zhaodi waved her hand, signaling Chu Wen to talk about something else first. She got off the kang and walked to the door, leaned on it to listen to the sounds outside, then walked back to the kang, took Chu Wen's hand, and complained.
"After Chu Tian fell off the roof a month ago, he changed. Not only does he no longer listen to me like before, but he also threatens me with you at every turn."
"He has said several times that he will report you to the regiment headquarters. Do you think he is crazy? You are his biological brother, how could he..."
Listening to Liu Zhaodi's endless complaints, Chu Wen's heart was in turmoil, but he could not hide his sadness on his face, "How could the fourth brother be like this? If he is envious, I can give him the job..."
Liu Zhaodi was shocked. "Old Third, what are you talking about? Why should you give him your job? What does he have the ability to do it?"
Chu Wen's face was filled with sorrow. "But, but it was indeed the fourth brother who took the exam that year..."
"So what if he took the test? Does he have any evidence? Did the leaders just believe him without looking at the evidence?"
Chu Wen was hesitant when he heard this. "Even if the leaders don't believe it, it won't be good if the fourth brother spreads it everywhere..."
Liu Zhaodi patted Chu Wen's hand and assured him, "Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to do that as long as Mom is here!"
Chu Wen had a smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes, "Well, son, you know that mother loves her son the most."
