Chapter 1320: Truly Sick in the Head

Qiu Shaofeng didn't care what they thought; his wife owed them nothing. Having said that, he turned and went back to the kitchen.

Just before entering the room, he turned back and said, "Wash your hands; the meal is ready."

Qiu Shaomei could understand her second sister-in-law's little schemes, but one couldn't treat people like fools, especially saying such things in front of the whole family. How had her second sister-in-law become like this?

Qiu Fu and Qiu Mu hadn't paid attention to An Xiaojing. When their youngest grandson was born, the family's matriarch had passed away. The villagers spread rumors that the grandson brought bad luck to his elders. The couple didn't believe in such things; after all, the old lady had been ill for so long, it was merely a coincidence.

They didn't know what the younger daughter-in-law was thinking. After returning, she caused even more trouble, frequently cursing the old lady as a troublemaker who had harmed her son even in death. She just wanted to use this to pressure the family into feeling indebted to her and her son.

But those words didn't come from the family. If she had the ability, she should go argue with those gossips. If she kept acting like this, the bond between them would eventually be severed.

They didn't argue with her because they didn't want their youngest son to be stuck in the middle, nor did they want the eldest branch and the villagers to laugh at them. Yet she simply couldn't see it.

Seeing everyone had left, Qiu Shaocheng looked at An Xiaojing: "Wife, stop making a scene, okay? The family doesn't owe us anything. Although we haven't divided the household yet, Mom and Dad have already said that besides work points, all other income belongs to each small family. From now on, just live our own good lives and stop always watching your brother and sister-in-law."

An Xiaojing didn't expect Qiu Shaocheng to not stand on her side either: "Qiu Shaocheng, do you also think I'm making a scene? Who am I doing this for? You know perfectly well. Since my son was born, I haven't had much breast milk. I'm only doing this for my son. What fault is there in that?"

"But sister-in-law also has Junjun to raise. Now that she has to work, the child naturally needs formula at home. Where would she get extra to help us? You must be reasonable."

"Since we haven't divided the household, we are one family. Since we are one family, as a sister-in-law, shouldn't she show some understanding? Before she left, I specifically mentioned it. Can't I even ask?"

"But how long has sister-in-law been working? You know formula requires coupons. Where could she get formula for you? We, as parents, haven't even managed that. Why shouldn't a sister-in-law be able to do it?"

"Qiu Shaocheng, are you deliberately trying to anger me? If she wanted to help, there are many ways. You know her own grandfather, her own uncle, and her brother-in-law's status. Isn't it just a matter of opening her mouth? How is it wrong to help us?"

At this, Qiu Shaofeng in the kitchen could no longer bear to listen. Standing at the kitchen door, he said: "Mom, Dad, my wife owes no one in this family. She is now living with my father-in-law's family with the child. After I started working, my mother-in-law has been helping to raise the child. I have no face to ask her to do anything more for our family. The second brother's son is not our responsibility. Why must the second sister-in-law keep venting her anger on my wife? Let's divide the household. From now on, we each live our own lives. Do as much as your ability allows. I can't bear to scold my wife, yet the second sister-in-law just won't stop."

Before, he had considered his second brother's feelings and didn't want these trivial matters to affect their brotherly bond. But the second sister-in-law was becoming more and more difficult. Even if his own wife couldn't hear it, he was still alive. This was truly pushing people too far.

If she spoke reasonably, even if it was difficult, we might still help. But with the second sister-in-law's attitude, even if my wife had the ability now, she wouldn't want to help her.

Because the little nephew was born exactly when the great-grandmother passed away, the family members were afraid the second sister-in-law might lose her mind, so they all yielded to her. Who knew she would become even more outrageous? She is truly sick in the head.
