Zhang Lanhua was furious. She glared at Zhao Wen and said, "Aren't they your sons? You, as their father, don't you care? Otherwise, when you get old, your sons will just abandon you in the deep mountains."
Yunxi Brigade is strict; there's no such thing as filial impiety here. A few years ago, someone from her maternal brigade did the same.
The sons complained that their mother was too old to work and was a waste of food, and each of them refused to take care of her. After much discussion, the three brothers decided to abandon their mother in the deep mountains.
If a hunter hadn't happened to be out hunting, that old woman would surely be dead.
It's chilling to think about it now. What's the point of raising a son if not to be there for him to take care of you in your old age?
Just thinking about it makes me angry. Seeing my youngest son's defiant look, I spanked him a few more times.
Zhao Hu whimpers.
Zhao Long shuddered, met his mother's dangerous gaze, and said, "I didn't say that."
Zhang Lanhua said, "If you dare, I'll beat you to death."
Zhao Wen raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't give the two of them the brown sugar water either, we'll drink it ourselves."
"You're such a good father," Zhang Lanhua said with a mocking look in her eyes.
Zhao Hu cried even louder, tears and snot streaming down his face.
The Qin family next door.
Yunling stood on tiptoe, peering around to see what had happened.
First the two girls cried, then the boy cried.
She was extremely curious, her mind racing with curiosity.
Seeing this, Qin Tiantian smiled and said, "Let's go take a look next door."
Yunling jumped off the rock she had been using as a stepping stone and said in a light voice, "Let's go!"
She took Qin Tiantian's arm, and the two walked together toward the Zhao family next door. Before they even reached the gate, they saw Lin Ting walking out of Zhao Wen's house with a sour face, carrying a large stack of firewood in her hands.
Upon seeing them, he forced a smile as a greeting.
Qin Tiantian muttered, "I really don't understand what she's thinking?"
Why do she have to get involved with her brother-in-law instead of living a perfectly good life?
If Zhao Wen were capable, he could understand it.
The key issue is that Zhao Wen has no skills whatsoever and is incredibly lazy. Before marriage, he relied on his mother and older brother, and after marriage, he relied on his mother, older brother, and wife.
The team members were extremely disgusted. They really didn't understand how Lin Ting, a proper intellectual, could be interested in Zhao Wen.
It was a long story for her.
"Who cares? Let's just watch the show," Yunling said.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door, calling out, "Sister-in-law Lanhua, we've come to visit you."
She completely forgot that the two had been at odds not long ago.
Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Lanhua called out, "Coming!"
She drank the brown sugar water in the bowl in one gulp, handed the empty bowl to Zhao Wen, and said, "Make it up again, it's still sweet."
"You're such a good wife to me." Zhao Wen's lips twitched.
Zhang Lanhua snorted coldly and said, "Isn't that obvious? I didn't report you when you were messing around with other women."
Zhao Wen: ...
I regret it so much, I regret it so much, why wasn't I more careful back then.
He glanced at the neighboring yard and sighed.
Now his sister-in-law and he are completely estranged; she always has a long face whenever she sees him.
Zhang Lanhua reached out and pinched his ear hard, warning, "You better behave yourself, or I'll really report you. Anyway, I'm still young, I can remarry."
Zhao Wen grimaced and rubbed his ear, saying, "There won't be a next time."
He changed the subject, saying, "Isn't someone calling you at the door? Hurry up and go, don't keep them waiting."
Zhang Lanhua glared at him before getting up to open the door. Upon seeing who it was, she immediately frowned and said, "Why are you here?"
Although they are neighbors, they usually just watch from the wall and rarely go into each other's homes.
Qin Tiantian: "I just heard your child crying. What happened? What's wrong? Do you need our help?"
Zhang Lanhua's expression softened, and she said, "It's alright. If a child is naughty, he needs to be disciplined."
