At the gate of the courtyard, Yang Qiuyue, the original owner's brother Li Dali, and sister-in-law Liu Yu were arguing loudly, attracting many people from the village.

"It's normal to have some small quarrels. How can you keep remembering them? We are all family. Don't be so petty!"

"Yes, Brother Zheng, Xiaomei, the two of you should stop being stubborn. Bring your second sister-in-law home with me. I have cleaned up the house for you, and I also asked your eldest brother to buy some meat. We can cook it when we get back later."

"No, let them go to our house. I also bought some meat and have it stewed in the pot. We can eat it directly when we get home."

"Go and call Li Yu out quickly. It's not good for others to keep watching."

The three of them opened their mouths one after another, saying only nice things. Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei stood opposite them, feeling nothing.

Having experienced so much, they immediately guessed what these people were thinking.

It was nothing more than seeing that they had made a lot of money in business recently and wanting their money, so they lowered their face to ask for peace. But they didn't need such a request for peace.

Han Zheng knew that his sister was not good at talking, so he interrupted the three of them when they were about to continue talking, "Sister-in-law, I still call you sister-in-law according to the village rules. Please go back. We have separated and will not go back with you. You don't have to waste your energy. As for the second sister-in-law's family..."

Han Zheng said word by word, "I know something about Second Sister-in-law. Before she got married, you beat and scolded her at every turn. Second Brother couldn't bear her suffering, so he exchanged a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver for Second Sister-in-law's freedom. At that time, you promised to have no relationship with Second Sister-in-law from then on, and signed a deed with the government for this. Now the government's record is still there, but you want to go back on your word and try to drag Second Sister-in-law to work like a slave for you again. You don't take the government seriously!"

Every word was so powerful that not only the three of them heard it, but everyone else in the village also heard it clearly.

Those who wanted to advise Han Zheng and others who were nosy swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.

But there were also some who didn't know how to look at it, saying, "Who hasn't made mistakes? Now that they know they were wrong, shouldn't they be given a chance to correct their mistakes? Brother Zheng, you've been educated, how can you be so ignorant!"

The person who spoke was Qian, a neighbor of the vegetable seller Wang. She hated Li Yu to death recently because Li Yu's business was good, and Wang's business was also getting better. She was annoyed by his laughter at home every day. Now that she had the opportunity to cause trouble for Li Yu and the other two, she would not let it go.

Old Lady Wang was not at the scene at the moment, but Old Lady Wang's daughter-in-law Lin was there. Knowing that Qian did it on purpose, Lin resolutely defended her big patron, "Sister-in-law Qian, what you said is too absolute. Brother Zheng is ignorant? He was kicked out of the house when he was sick. He finally made money and lived a smooth life, but he was still being worried about. If I were Brother Zheng, I would beat anyone who dared to cause trouble to him. If you were Brother Zheng, would you be willing to forgive? You can also think about it yourself. If we were Brother Zheng, would we really be willing to associate with such a relative again?"

"I don't want to." Uncle Wu's wife Aunt Wu stood up and said, "I just want to live a good life for my family. I don't want those bad relatives."

"I don't want to either," said another woman. If you can live a good life, who wants to live a bad life where you have to look at other people's eyes?

No one stood on her side. Qian was so angry that her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. She pushed through the crowd and ran away in embarrassment.

Yang Qiuyue, Li Dali and Liu Yu were scolded openly and secretly, but they still pretended not to hear anything. Li Yu was able to make money now, so as long as he could get her home, it didn't matter if she listened to a few scoldings.

The three of them were shameless and were going to continue to make trouble. But at this moment, Li Yu rushed out with a knife.

Li Yu looked at the three people coldly, "I thought who it was, it turned out to be you. What, have you forgotten what I said before? I tell you, there will be no reconciliation between you and me in this life, don't even think about taking a penny from me. If you don't believe me, just stand here, it's best not to go home or eat, I wonder if you have the guts to starve to death here."

Li Dali looked at the tip of the knife, thinking of the fear of having his neck cut before, his legs went weak and he almost fell down.

Liu Yu also took a step back tremblingly.

Yang Qiuyue was a bit bolder. She wanted Li Yu's money very much, so she continued, "Li Yu, I was wrong before. Just give me a chance and I will make it up to you."

Li Yu sneered, "I don't want anything from you, forget it!"

Yang Qiuyue: “…”

Seeing Han Xiaomei out of the corner of her eye, Yang Qiuyue suddenly had other ideas. Xiaomei, this little bitch, has been following Li Yu in business. She should be able to do what Li Yu can do. So if Li Yu doesn't want to go back, then don't go back. Xiaomei can go back too.

Thinking of this, Yang Qiuyue turned to Han Xiaomei and said, "Xiaomei, if your sister-in-law doesn't want to, I won't force her. But you should come back with me. You are Xiuwu's biological sister, and you have a deep relationship. Let's live a good life in the future. In a few years, when you grow up, I will find a good marriage for you."

Han Xiaomei shook her head: "I'm not going back. I want to be with my second sister-in-law and third brother."

"Kid, how can you not understand? Some people are outsiders from the beginning to the end. If one day she finds her lover and wants to remarry, what will you do? Your third brother is in poor health. What if he one day..." Yang Qiuyue smiled meaningfully, "Your eldest brother and I are your ultimate support."

Han Xiaomei originally didn't want to break up with Yang Qiuyue, she was giving face to her eldest brother. But this person scolded the second sister-in-law and cursed the third brother to die early...

Han Xiaomei's expression was even colder than Han Zheng's. "My family only includes my second sister-in-law and third brother. No matter what happens to them in the future, I will only recognize them!"

Yang Qiuyue: “…”

Li Yu chuckled and slowly scanned the three people with his eyes: "Did you understand? If you understand, then leave quickly. You are not welcome here."

After saying that, the three of them entered the yard one by one, and Han Xiaomei, who walked last, closed the door heavily.

The sound of the door opening echoed in the air. The villagers looked at the door, then at the three people who were rejected, and left tactfully.

The three of us were left looking at each other, it was so awkward.

Li Yu and the other two walked into the room and each drank a bowl of boiled water to moisten their throats.

"You must be tired from arguing. Take a break first. I'll make braised pork ribs for you later." Li Yu said. She couldn't stand two meals a day, so after discussing with Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei, the family changed to three meals a day according to her habit.

Han Xiaomei and Han Zheng agreed at the same time.

The two of them spoke loudly, but their emotions were not high. Li Yu thought for a while and said, "If you want to go back with Yang Qiuyue, it's fine. I won't stop you."

"No, we don't want to go back." Han Xiaomei was afraid that Li Yu would misunderstand, so she quickly explained: "I just don't think it's worth it. In the past, for the sake of big brother... no, it was Han Xiuwu, we always indulged Yang Qiuyue, but she never treated us as family."

Han Zheng's thoughts were simpler than hers, "I don't like them." He felt even more sorry for his second sister-in-law for having such a brother and sister-in-law. She had lived a very hard life in the past.

Li Yu: "If you don't like them, just get them out of your mind. Don't let these bastards affect your emotions. It's not worth it."

Han Zheng and Han Xiaomei nodded.

At noon, the three of them had a delicious meal of braised pork ribs with rice.

Outside, Li Dali and Liu Yuqiang were holding on and did not leave. When they smelled the aroma of meat, they knocked on the door eagerly and said all kinds of sweet words.

Li Yu didn't want to listen to their voices, so he rushed out with a knife, scaring Li Dali and Liu Yu so much that they ran away quickly.

In the afternoon, Li Yu went to the town to meet her husband with Han Zheng as planned.
