He had to seize the opportunity to marry his second sister. He had originally despised the Xiao family's poverty and looked down on Xiao Wan, but now it was different. This girl wore a long skirt, had a fair complexion, and looked good. She was worthy of his son.

After she gets married and takes care of the three of them, his son will be in charge of his second aunt's workshop, and no one will find fault with him.

By then, she will be at home enjoying delicious food and drinks, waiting to have grandchildren and live in a big house.

Shen was happily fantasizing about the good days in the future. Liu was well aware of the moral character of her eldest brother's family, and her nephews and nieces had also been taught bad morals.

What's more, during the most difficult times, the eldest brother insisted on dividing the family property, which made her parents so angry that they couldn't calm down. She had long lost interest in her eldest brother.

My nephew is not worthy of such a good daughter of mine.

Thinking of this, Liu said in a firm tone: "Sister-in-law, the children are all grown up. Even cousins, no matter how close they are, should be treated with propriety. My Wan'er is also old enough to talk about her husband's family. Brother Jin should be more careful."

This means that Shen’s desire to get married has been put to an end.

Upon hearing this, Shen's expression fell, and she angrily asked, "Oh, has my second sister's family become so prosperous that they look down on our poor relatives?"

Liu sneered and ignored her. Shen was embarrassed and turned to look at her son who was surrounding Xiao Wan. Her eyes rolled and a bold idea came to her mind, but now was not the time.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng looked at Old Man Liu, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes.

The two of them had previously intended to marry their grandson and granddaughter, but now after looking at Xiao Wan and then at their own grandson, they had to admit that Jin Ge'er was really not worthy of their granddaughter.

Seeing her daughter's unhappy face and Xiao Wan's annoyed face, she knew what was going on.

The eldest son's family is really not presentable. The old couple were forced to separate by their eldest son, and they were heartbroken when he left them to the youngest son. In the future, they should pay more attention to the youngest son. After all, relatives cannot be successful if they are dragged down by him, and they are very filial to them.

Forget it, I can’t care about so much. Let my children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

At this time, Old Man Xiao brought a doctor to the house. After a diagnosis and treatment, the doctor said that there was nothing serious and that he just needed to rest more and take a few doses of medicine. Then he wrote a prescription.

When it was time to pay the medical fee, Liu Yanzhi and Shen remained silent. Liu Yanqing hurried to get the money but was stopped by Liu. Old Man Xiao took the doctor to get the medicine and paid the money at the same time.

Seeing this, Mrs. Meng and Old Man Liu were even more disheartened by their eldest son's indifference.

Liu Yanzhi felt embarrassed and uncomfortable being stared at by everyone in the room, so he pulled Shen away.

Shen was thick-skinned and didn't care. She asked Meng with a flattering face: "Mom, you can't eat so much. Let me take some away."

After saying that, he reached out to take everything away, which made Mrs. Meng so angry that she didn't care about her dignity at all.

Liu Yanqing is a brother-in-law, so it is difficult for him to stop his sister-in-law, and his elder brother can only watch from the side.

Xiao Wan couldn't bear it, so she and Liu stepped forward to grab it. Xiao Wan's face was cold and she looked at Shen with chilly eyes.

Shen was startled and subconsciously let go of her hand. Then she came to her senses and was secretly angry that she was scared by a little girl.

Liu said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to eat it, buy it yourself. This is my gift to my parents. If I find you reaching out for it again, I will chop off your claws."

"And big brother, as the eldest son, you don't provide for my parents in their old age. Instead, you drive them and my younger brother to the old house. You are not worthy of being my big brother."

When Shen heard what Liu said, her face changed and she said anxiously, "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Why are you trying to show off in your parents' home? How dare you talk to your brother and sister-in-law like that?"

Mrs. Liu choked. Seeing his sister's frustration, Liu Yanqing could no longer hold back and said, "Since we've split up, this isn't your home anymore. Get out of here! Don't even think about taking a single grain of rice from my house."

No matter how good Liu Yanqing's temper was, he was still enraged. Moreover, his sister had doted on him since he was a child, and his eldest brother's family didn't even care about his parents. If he didn't stand up, he would be unworthy of being a son.

When Liu Yanzhi heard this, he could no longer care about anything and pulled Shen out. Shen could only look at the things on the ground with envy, and her face was full of resentment.

Shen thought to herself: Liu Ermei, just wait and see, in a couple of days you'll be begging me for help, humph.

Turning around, she saw Jin Ge'er still staring at Xiao Wan, while Xiao Wan had a look of impatience and disgust on her face. Shen pulled Liu Jingui away and said, "Just wait and see. I'll deal with you, little girl, in a few days."

After they left, the room finally became quiet. Old Man Xiao came back with the medicine and the family prepared to say goodbye.

Liu pulled her brother aside and took out fifty taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to him.

Liu Yanqing was startled and stepped back subconsciously, wondering why his second sister was so intimidating. She asked for fifty taels at once. Was she going to move the Xiao family to her mother's family?

If my brother-in-law knew about this, how would he look at him? Although the family is in financial difficulty, I cannot harm my sister.

Liu forced the money into her brother's hand, stopping him from speaking, and said earnestly, "Yanqing, my eldest brother is unreliable. If you give all the silver to mother, I'm afraid she will be soft-hearted and be coaxed by my eldest brother. You take this money and use it to feed and clothe your parents. I can rest assured too. Don't refuse, and be obedient."

Liu Yanqing almost shed tears after hearing this, hating himself for being useless. Xiao Yuer and Xiao Zhengping saw this and shouted, "Uncle, shame on you." Liu Yanqing burst into laughter and spun around holding the two little ones.

Liu gave her mother another five taels of silver so that she could have enough money to buy some daily necessities, and then the family said goodbye and left.
