Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Chai You Fu was stunned for a moment, and said: "Chai Mi's mother... went back to her mother's family. She's making a scene about divorce."

"Ah..." Song Qiuping's hand holding the water kettle trembled, and water spilled out unconsciously: "At such an age, still making a scene about divorce? Her daughter Chai Mi is almost at marriageable age, and these parents making a scene about divorce is truly making a laughingstock. In my opinion, it's just a couple having some conflict, tossing around... But anyway, Chai Mi's mother is almost forty, with that bear-like appearance of the old man and old woman, and your brother's daughter-in-law's behavior—if she wanted to toss around, she should have done it long ago. Making a scene now, the yellow flowers are already cold."

Chai You Fu's complexion was not good, and he rebuked: "Don't talk nonsense."

Song Qiuping didn't care about that much: "Tsk, are your father and mother good people? Back when they built a house for our family, they turned around and said building the house caused a famine, forcing you to bear several thousand yuan. If it weren't for me... you would have agreed."

Song Qiuping was talking about back then, when the family divided, after Chai You Fu's house was built and the money was overspent, Chai Zhongxiao once said to let Chai You Fu bear some of the famine matter.

But Song Qiuping was no pushover; hearing she had to bear the famine, without a word, she directly took Chai Min back to her mother's family.

Song Qiuping's mother's family was in this village; her father was Song Qingshu of Sanjiacun; her uncle was Old Accountant Song Qingshan of Sanjiacun.

Old Song Family was a prominent household in the village, with a thriving population. When Song Qiuping returned to her mother's family, her natal family went to Chai Zhongxiao's door, shouting: heard of dividing family property when dividing the family, but never heard of dividing famine when dividing the family; if this life can be lived, live it; if not, divorce.

Although they didn't end up fighting, Chai Zhongxiao was still blocked inside the house by Old Song Family's people for half a day and couldn't come out; Chai Youde tried to rescue Chai Zhongxiao and still got two big slaps.

Later, this matter ended only when Chai Zhongxiao no longer mentioned dividing famine with Chai You Fu.

Song Qiuping, thinking of this, felt displeased, and mocked: "If I were Chai Mi's mother, I would have run away long ago. Would it come to today? Really... that old man and old woman, they just dote on Chai Lao San because he gave birth to two sons; I and Su Wan didn't give birth to sons, so they're always venting anger on me... especially the old woman, what kind of thing is she? If it weren't that Chai Min has grown up, I wouldn't want to live with you anymore either..."

Song Qiuping only had this one daughter Chai Min; although the old house was a bit far, she usually hadn't heard less about Wang Huirong wagging her tongue behind backs.

That old couple only recognized grandsons.

Good food was all left for the grandson; the granddaughter couldn't get a single bite.

"Hey... you won't live with me, do you think someone else wants you?" Chai You Fu, having been retorted by Song Qiuping a few words, said in a joking tone: "Look at your waist, it's as thick as a water vat..."

Song Qiuping gave Chai You Fu a white-eye glance; these years she had been living in comfort, and indeed she had put on some weight, her body weight had increased, and the Three Highs were coming soon. This figure... had no shape anymore; although not especially fat, she was obviously putting on weight, probably around one hundred thirty or forty catties.

"That's because I have fortune..."

"That's because living with me brings fortune."

Song Qiuping was dissatisfied: "That's my good fate; what does it have to do with you."

Then she said to Chai Min: "Put the vegetables in the back room; don't get them dirty; our family doesn't have..."

Chai Min responded with a sound, muttering in a low voice: Now that the family has a vegetable garden, it's still one lazy and one loves beauty, wanting other people's vegetables—really thick-skinned.

Chai Min felt a bit embarrassed, but didn't dare say it out loud.
