Chapter 928: Sister, Have You Ever Thought About Splitting the Household and Living Separately?

~4 min read 770 words

At this moment, Chuxue's smile vanished from her face: "What is going on with my brother-in-law? He just watches as his younger brother's wife-in-law keeps coming to our home to cause trouble?"

Hearing her sister's words, Xia Qiu also sighed: "Because of this matter, your brother-in-law and his younger brother have spoken about it several times. My younger brother-in-law has also quarreled with his wife over this many times. You've seen that my sister-in-law is pregnant. I'm also afraid that if we drive her to some misfortune, then my husband and I will be like mud falling into a crotch—whether it's shit or not, it looks like shit."

"Sister, have you ever thought about splitting the household and living separately?"

Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment: "What are you thinking? My father-in-law and my eldest uncle have only just split the household. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't dare bring it up."

Seeing Chuxue say nothing, she continued: "In the village, every family is like this. As long as parents are alive, the household does not split. If it weren't for your capability, plus the fact that Father truly lost heart, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to split the household."

"Besides, since Sister An caused that scene last time, my parents-in-law made it clear: from now on, aside from the work points belonging to the common fund, any extra earnings made by each branch belong to that branch. The same goes for game hunted in the mountains. Moreover, my mother-in-law said that gifts sent from our respective natal families need not be given to the common fund. I am already very happy about this."

Glancing toward the door, she leaned close to Chuxue's ear: "Although your brother-in-law didn't tell me, I overheard him talking privately with my parents-in-law that day. Your brother-in-law is thinking of me, so I cannot fail to consider him. After all, the villagers value filial piety most. He is the eldest. If these trivial matters were made public, the spittle alone could drown him."

"My parents-in-law may have selfish motives, but at least they are fair. Besides, our family is not what it used to be; they wouldn't dare show favoritism. Rest assured. They have caused trouble several times, yet never gained a single advantage. Naturally, I won't stand up and confront them head-on. Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

"Very well, as long as you have a plan in mind."

Xia Qiu looked up and saw Zhui Feng lying on the ground: "You're taking Zhui Feng back to the city. Will the passenger bus let it on?"

Chuxue thought for a moment: "Then when we leave later, have my brother-in-law find me a large sack. If they won't let it on the bus, I'll put it in the sack."

Zhui Feng actually lifted its head, widened its eyes, tilted its head, and looked at Chuxue with an expression of utter disbelief, which made the two sisters laugh.

Xia Qiu patted Chuxue: "Look at that expression of its. It's as if it understood what we were saying."

At that very moment, Zhui Feng actually barked "Wang, Wang" twice, with an expression of utter disdain.

This made Chuxue laugh even more freely.

In the next room, An Xiaojing heard the commotion here, and her mood grew even more irritable.

Looking at the man two zhang away from her, she said: "Shaocheng, I don't know how my sister-in-law turned out that way. I believe that when we return this time, my parents will surely teach her a good lesson. From now on, she certainly won't be so shameless."

Qiu Shaocheng also knew that, strictly speaking, his wife was a victim in this matter. But no matter how you looked at it, it was his elder sister-in-law who caused the trouble, and she had done so repeatedly. How could his mood possibly be good?

If this happened a few more times, his elder brother would probably turn against him: "Xiaojing, I'm not angry with you. I'm angry with myself. Because our relatives keep making my elder brother and sister-in-law uncomfortable, if this continues, I won't have the face to face them."

Hearing these words, An Xiaojing immediately lowered her head: Yes, that was her natal family's sister-in-law. Every time she came to cause trouble, An Xiaojing was the one who felt most ashamed.

After calming down for a while, she looked up again: "Shaocheng, I know this matter wronged my elder brother and sister-in-law. This afternoon, I will return to my natal family and speak properly with my parents and my brother about this."
