Protagonist:

Chai Mi

As the saying goes, it's not that there are no good things, it's that there are no good people.

The farce at the Chai Family Laozhai did not end just because Song Qiuping was dragged away by Chai You Fu's father-in-law.

On the contrary, it escalated further.

Smack—

Chai You Fu was knocked to the ground by a big slap from the honest Chai Youqing.

"No matter what faults Mother has, as her son, you cannot speak to her like this." Chai Youqing's face was iron-dark, his hand trembling slightly from the excessive force.

Only then did Chai You Fu calm down. He glanced at Chai Youqing, sighed, then turned and walked away.

Chai You Fu did not blame Chai Youqing; in fact, Chai You Fu felt that as the eldest brother, Chai Youqing's slap was justified.

Just now he had indeed panicked and lost his composure in speech.

But what to do next, Chai You Fu was completely dazed...

The father-in-law hurdle... won't be easy to pass...

Song Qiuping was taken away by her father Song Qingshu, and the village Accountant, who was also Song Qiuping's uncle Song Qingshan, left as well.

Liu Zhanggui was held back by Chai Youqing, not allowed to leave.

"Village Chief, let's stop this matter here. It's too deliberately difficult; let's just call it quits."

(Call it quits — 'liao' means to end.)

Liu Zhanggui helplessly scanned the crowd, patted Chai Youqing's shoulder: "Your family mustn't fight anymore... live your lives well. They say picking teeth makes gaps wide, cleaning ears makes you deaf, constant lawsuits bring lasting poverty. Life isn't lived that way. Alright, I'm leaving too. Just now I might have been a bit anxious, said some things... let's just leave it at that."

"Leaving."

Liu Zhanggui turned and left.

Seeing the Village Chief was in a bad mood today, the onlookers also dispersed one after another.

Chai Youqing, caught in a dilemma, wanted to help Wang Huirong into the house, but was shaken off by Wang Huirong.

"I was beaten by the second son's wife, and this is how you treat me? You just watch the excitement?" Wang Huirong scolded.

Chai Youqing was also a bit dazed: "Mother... that... I went to find the Village Chief."

"Bullshit!" Wang Huirong cursed: "How far is Liu Zhanggui from our house? You walked half an hour? You were just afraid the second son's wife wouldn't beat me to death?!"

Chai Youqing looked at Wang Huirong, her face covered in mud and still bleeding, and was momentarily at a loss, not knowing what to say, so he said: "Mother, let's go inside first. Don't let people laugh at us."

"Aiya..." Wang Huirong plopped down on the ground and started wailing: "Let me just die... this life can't go on. Where is there a daughter-in-law beating a mother-in-law... my old face..."

Chai Youqing was flustered by Wang Huirong, his face alternating between pale and red, completely at a loss.

Chai Mi, who had finished watching the excitement on the side, also prepared to leave; if she didn't leave now, the Laozhai neighbors had already returned...

Chai Mi awkwardly exchanged a smile with the Laozhai neighbor...

Hehehe.

Hahaha.

Afterwards Chai Mi and Liu San, the couple, tacitly exchanged a smile with the Laozhai neighbor, nodded, and then left.

Arriving at the Laozhai door, Chai Mi called out to the still dazed Chai Youqing, and to Wang Huirong lying on the ground...

Chai Mi thought for a moment, then shouted: "Dad, come home for a bit. My maternal cousin came to visit..."

Chai Youqing hurriedly agreed, then walked out as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Wang Huirong stopped crying, scolded: "Eldest, don't go... if you go, what about me?"

"Mother, no can do... my family has guests..."

"You get back here..."

But Chai Youqing walked even faster; when he reached the door and saw Chai Mi, he let out a breath of relief.

Muttering: "This... the second son's wife beat her, not my wife... what's it got to do with me? Almost got cheated onto me."
