Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Qiumei returned to her parents' home and tearfully told everyone what had happened.

Qiu's parents also felt that their daughter had gone too far, but their daughter hadn't even finished her confinement yet, and crying here would harm her health, so they couldn't say anything and could only let their daughter stay at home to recuperate.

Fortunately, the Qiu family has only this one daughter. If they had a sister-in-law, it would be a problem for their family of four to continue living in her mother-in-law's house.

Qiumei returned home and continued to do as she pleased, eating and sleeping in her own home. Even her biological parents could not stand their daughter's behavior.

Fan Datian wandered around the village alone for three days, staying at one house in the east, staying overnight at another, eating at another in the south, and eating at another in the north. He kept waiting for his wife to come and see him like before, but the door of Fan's house was never opened.

For three days, Zhou Leng did not leave the kitchen. He ate when he was hungry, practiced after eating, slept when he was tired, and continued eating when he woke up.

He ate up twenty kilograms of the Fan family's rice, not to mention the meat, vegetables and pickles.

"belch."

Zhou Leng burped and stood up from the small stool in the kitchen. She clenched her fists tightly and said, "Damn it, if that old man dares to hit me again, I will make him unable to get out of bed for half a month."

After recuperating, Zhou Leng cleaned the house inside and out. She destroyed the evidence that she had eaten a lot. When she finished everything and was lying on the bed watching TV, there was a loud slam on the door.

Zhou Leng stood up and walked out the door. She took out the wooden stick she had just found and walked to the gate of the yard and opened it.

The old couple looked at each other, one was eager to try inside the door, and the other was outside the door staring at the wooden stick in the other's hand.

Fan Datian said quickly:

"What are you going to do? Let me tell you, we are all old, and we have old arms and legs. If we break or get hurt, we will not be happy. Wouldn't that cause trouble for the family? You should stop using force in the future."

Zhou Leng looked at him and said:

"You were the first to start it. When we were young, I couldn't beat you and I was always beaten by you. Now that I'm older, I still let you beat me. I tell you, this thing of a person is to live in the first half of his life or the second half of his life."

Fan Datian said, "Hurry up and throw away the stick in your hand and make me some food. I'm hungry."

After Zhou Leng threw the stick, he said, "Cook it yourself. I owe you. Otherwise, you will be hungry and wait for the next meal. Who indulges your bad habits and makes you a separate meal."

Fan Datian suppressed his anger and went into the house. He saw the tidy kitchen without any leftovers, and angrily went back into the house and lay down.

Now that all the work in the fields has been done, the only things left that need regular attention are the vegetable gardens in the front and back yards of my house.

For more than half a month, Fan Datian went home to stay at night and went home to eat at mealtime on weekdays. The rest of the time he played mahjong or poker with other villagers.

Zhou Leng has always played the role of a rural woman. As long as nothing happens to her, she feels that these are good days with peace and harmony.

***

After Qiumei finished her confinement, the old couple of the Qiu family could not bear to see the four of them continue to stay in their home, so they bought gifts and personally sent their daughter and her family of four back to Old Fan's home.

Zhou Leng and Fan Datian had a lukewarm attitude, but the old couple of the Qiu family looked guilty and left without eating that day. After all, they knew about their daughter and were embarrassed to stay for dinner.

For half a month, the old couple hadn't been to the east room, and the room was covered with dust. Qiumei became angry when she saw this scene.

Fan Qitian is four years old this year. Although he is small, he is very good at finding people to hate. He stood at the door of the east room and shouted:

"Grandma, we're home now. Why don't you clean up the east room? Look, it's all dusty. How can we live here?"

Zhou Leng was resting with her eyes closed in the west room. When she heard this, she shouted:

"What are you yelling about, you little brat? I still owe you what I owe you. Whoever owns the house should clean it up. You can live here if you want or not. If you don't want to live here, get out."

Ever since she had a fight with Fan Datian, Zhou Leng decided to be an honest person and finally change. She didn't want to be a slave in this family.

Fan Qitian was somewhat confused by the scolding. His grandmother always held him in her mouth for fear that he would melt, and held him in her hands for fear that he would fall. Why was she scolding him today? He shouted uncertainly:

"Grandma, I'm Qi Tian, ​​your eldest grandson."

Zhou Leng felt the burning mark on her soul. She patted her head vigorously and said:

"I know, but you didn't say when you would be back. If you don't live at home, I won't have time to clean the house for you every day. If you clean it yourself, it will give me a headache. Please keep your voice down and don't bother me."

Fan Qitian walked into the east room with a dazed look on his face. He looked at Fan Chao and asked:

"Dad, I haven't been home for a long time. Doesn't grandma recognize me?"

Fan Chao naturally heard what his mother said. He frowned and said, "Grandma is old. You go outside with mom and brother, and dad will clean up the room."

No matter how the other party tormented Zhou Leng, she kept feeling the burning in her soul. She knew that this was because Yan Yumei thought that she had handled the situation incorrectly, that she should let the family get along harmoniously, and that she should take the initiative to clean up the room.

Yan Yumei doesn't know how to compromise. Tolerance is not the way to solve the problem. It will only lead to worsening of the situation and a bunch of ungrateful people.

At dinner time, the family sat at the table and ate quietly.

Qiumei felt a little embarrassed because she was sent back by her parents and not picked up by her parents-in-law, so she remained silent.

Fan Qitian didn't dare to speak at the moment because his grandmother had shouted at him twice during the day.

Fan Datian had been disciplined and behaved himself in the past half month. Naturally, he did not comment on the affairs of his family. He only said something like "Live a good life now that you are back" to the four people who came back home.

At the quiet dinner table with only the sound of chewing, Zhou Leng's action and sound of putting down the bowl were particularly eye-catching.

Everyone's eyes were on Zhou Leng. She said seriously:

"I've figured it out. The four of you should go out and live on your own. You have two sons now, and the little land you grow at home is not enough to cover expenses. The whole family depends on this land. From now on, you can live your own lives, and your father and I will live our own lives. We don't care whether you go to the city to work or anywhere else you go."

Fan Datian looked at his wife, then at the other four people, and he chose to support them.

Fan Chao frowned and said:

"Mom, you are going to force us to death! Where can we go if we live alone? There is no housing in the city. I have also thought that staying at home all the time is not a solution. The two children at home are still young. Qiumei will stay at home with you. I will go to the city tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. The kid from the old Sun family at the head of the village is delivering couriers in the city. I want to go there to deliver couriers too. Don't say such things about living alone. How can we live alone? You are young now, but when you are old, I will take care of you in your old age! Parents and children can break up at will, and there is nothing wrong with our family."

When Fan Datian heard that his son would take care of him in his old age, he kicked Zhou Leng's leg under the table.
