Mid-Autumn Festival, reunion night.

"Okay, then let's call them all, including Brother Anfeng and his family." Du Wenxiu agreed with a faint smile.

At this time Yuanxi came over and saw the two sisters chatting happily. Hearing Du Wenxiu's instructions that the Mid-Autumn Festival night should be celebrated more lively, he agreed immediately.

He laughed again and said, "Old General Yang came to report that an old friend of grandma's was visiting outside the door. He looked like a country boy, and I didn't know him, so I called him in to inform him."

From the country?

Du Wenxiu thought that he no longer had any relatives or friends in the countryside who needed to visit him often, so how come someone from the countryside suddenly came to visit him?

Since she had nothing to do at the moment, she walked outside leisurely and saw the short-sleeved man who came to see her in the lobby.

"Qiu Yong? You are such a rare guest. How did you find your way here?" Du Wenxiu was shocked when he saw Qiu Yong.

Qiu Yong no longer looks like the energetic young man he used to be.

It has been over a year since we last met, and the clothes he is wearing are not as good as when Du Wenxiu first met him.

As soon as Qiu Yong saw her, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I...my mother is gone."

A grown man was sitting in the gatehouse crying his eyes out.

Du Wenxiu frowned slightly as she looked at Qiu Yong who was squatting on the ground crying, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Hasn't your health always been good? How come you suddenly..."

Qiu Yong cried for a while, and after he recovered, he told Du Wenxiu what had happened.

It turned out that after Yue Niang left, Tong Hua took advantage of her pregnancy to want everything to be perfect, and if something was not going her way, she would make the whole family uneasy.

In order to have some peace and quiet and also to plan well for his family's future, he spent every day working in the fields.

Although Lu Sangui had approached him before, he had never had any ambitions and just wanted to have enough food to eat.

I go home to visit my mother once every three to five days and give her some home supplies, which makes it less of a hassle.

But every time I went back, my mother would complain to him, saying that Tonghua didn't know how to make money and spent it lavishly, and told him not to give her too much money.

Then he felt sorry for the grandson in Tonghua's belly, and asked Qiu Yong to buy more meat and bring back more food, so that he could raise his eldest grandson well.

Qiu Yong was troubled by her nagging. In the past ten days or so, he asked the honest tenants to send the household expenses back home, but he seldom went home himself.

Half a month ago, at night, the little girl in the family ran so far to call him in a hurry, saying that Tonghua and her mother-in-law had a fight, which scared him.

I ran home in my slippers, and no matter how hard I tried, I was still a step too late.

Because of my mother's nagging, Tonghua no longer wanted to live with her, so my mother moved back to the renovated old house.

When Qiu Yong returned home, the house was in a mess. His mother was bleeding from her head and Tonghua was sitting on the ground with blood all over the floor.

The villagers helped load the two people onto the car and took them to the town. The doctor examined them, but was not sure whether they could be cured, so he asked them to take them to the city.

When he was taken to the city, the doctor said that his injuries were not serious, but he had lost too much blood and could not be saved.

Tonghua lost her child and Qiuyong lost his mother.

After returning home to take care of his mother's funeral, Tonghua's family came to make a fuss, saying that their sister might not be able to have children in the future. They asked Qiu Yong to pay a lot of money and marry her as his wife.

Qiu Yong is a filial man. He had just lost his mother, and now he encountered such a fuss. No matter how good his temper is, he couldn't bear it this time.

He grabbed a hoe nearby and swung it at the few people, throwing Tonghua, the person and the luggage out.

I was bored at home for a few days, without anyone to talk to.

After packing up his things, he drove the ox cart he had bought earlier to Lu Sangui's house.

It happened that Lu Sangui was out and not at home, and Yang was suffering from morning sickness and feeling listless, so she invited him home.

He was already feeling depressed and couldn't refuse, and then he remembered that Lu Sangui had said that Fang Hai's family had moved to a new house, so he said he would come over to take a look.

I never expected that I would burst into tears when I saw my sister-in-law.

Annoyance, regret, grievance, sadness...

One thing after another flashed before his eyes. He no longer wanted to pretend to be strong. He just wanted to have a good cry in front of his sister-in-law.

When he had cried enough, he stopped.

With red and swollen eyes, she took the handkerchief handed to her by Qiuyun and wiped her tears.

As he said, "Sister-in-law and Yue Niang are dating, so they must be disgusted by me like this. But when I look at sister-in-law, she is like my own sister-in-law. I don't know why tears started to flow."

Du Wenxiu sighed and said, "What are you talking about, Yue Niang? I feel bad for you living like this now, don't I?"

"You came back to see me this time, so you must have considered me as a family member. In this case, I will listen to my sister-in-law's advice and live a good life in the future, and don't just care about yourself."

Qiu Yong nodded repeatedly, not knowing how much he felt after hearing this.

Du Wenxiu didn't take him into the house, but just sat in the gatehouse and talked for a while.

"We have a lot of houses and yards at home now. If you don't want to go home these days, why don't you stay at my house? There are people cleaning the guest yard every day, so it's very clean."

Qiu Yong shook his head after hearing this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Old Yang immediately went to open the door, but it was Lu Sangui who came with a servant. Perhaps because he was in a hurry, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Just now..." Lu Sangui said a few words in a hurry, and then he saw Qiu Yong and Du Wenxiu coming out of the gatehouse, with a little maid who was only a few years old behind them.

"Third brother..." Qiu Yong couldn't help but pout and was about to cry when he saw Lu Sangui, but Lu Sangui came up and slapped him in the face, then kicked him, causing him to roll into the corner.

Du Wenxiu was very anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly asked Xu Ada to help: "Don't break it by kicking it."

Lu Sangui's eyes were slightly red, his chest was heaving with anger, and he pointed at him and cursed:

"You had a good wife at home, but you went out to mess around. Now two lives have been lost in one day, and you still have the nerve to cry, you still have the nerve to cry..."

While cursing, Lu Sangui looked around, strode to the door and tried to take the bolt.

How could Du Wenxiu really dare to let him take it? Such a thick and long door bolt could kill someone!

Xu Ada had already stepped forward to stop him and finally snatched the bolt from his hand. He turned around and saw Qiu Yong kneeling on the ground crying.

This time, Lu Sangui's blood rushed to his forehead, and he kicked Du Wenxiu again, fast and hard, making her pale with fright.

"Brother Sangui, you can't do that, you can't do that, you're going to kill people..." Du Wenxiu couldn't wait for Xu Ada to turn around, and hurried forward to block Lu Sangui's way.

Lu Sangui looked at Qiu Yong fiercely through Du Wenxiu, and felt that the hot air from his nose could roast him.

"Sister-in-law, please don't try to stop me. I might hurt you. I won't be able to explain to my brother when he comes back. If I don't teach him a lesson, he will never be a man again in his life. Sister-in-law, please get out of the way..."

Xu Ada stepped forward and supported Lu Sangui's arm. Lu Sangui tried desperately to break free, but he was so strong that he couldn't.
