The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

How can there be such an ill-mannered child!

This is a true reflection of Zhang Zhongli's state of mind at this moment.

Although these canned pastries were gifts originally intended for Xiao Qingguo's family, the three children in that family snatched them away without even asking.

What is this thing called?

Xiao Qingguo naturally noticed that Zhang Zhongli, Chen Wan, and Zhang Yanhong looked unhappy.

"Brother, look at Da Long and the others, how can they steal things?"

Xiao Qingguo shouted in a reprimanding tone.

"Qingguo, why are you making such a fuss? Aren't these gifts all for our family? Anyway, it's just for Dalong and the other two to eat."

Xiao Qinghua didn't care at all and replied with a smile.

"That's right, my three precious sons haven't had canned food in a long time. Since the gift was delivered, we just accepted it and ate it. Are you going to blame our three precious sons?"

Xiao Qinghua's wife said dismissively.

Seeing that Zhang Zhongli and the other two looked unhappy, Yang Lijuan immediately smiled and walked over in a warm manner.

"Father-in-laws, Yan Hong, welcome! Please come in and have a seat."

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, so Zhang Zhongli, Chen Wan, and Zhang Yanhong naturally wouldn't make a scene over what had just happened.

"Let's go."

Zhang Zhongli said calmly.

The three then parked their bicycles and entered the main room one after another.

Yang Lijuan glanced at the three bicycles, then immediately put on a big smile and followed them into the main room.

"Second brother, go get some water."

As soon as Yang Lijuan sat down, she began to give instructions.

Xiao Qinghua and his wife sat calmly next to Yang Lijuan, showing no intention of helping at all.

Xiao Qingguo said "Oh," and immediately picked up a kettle, then took out several enamel cups and placed them on the old, blackened octagonal table. He poured three cups of water in a short while.

At that moment, Zhang Zhongli and Chen Wan turned to look at each other, their eyes revealing dissatisfaction.

In just a short while, anyone could see that Xiao Qingguo had a very low status in the family.

His mother, Yang Lijuan, clearly favored her eldest son, Xiao Qinghua, and his family.

It is very likely related to the fact that Xiao Qinghua had three sons.

Even though Xiao Qingguo is now the captain of the militia company, and even though his girlfriend came to visit today, this family is still ordering him around.

Although Zhang Yanhong is young, she is almost 20 years old and has been working since she was a child, so she has a certain ability to judge people.

Undoubtedly, Zhang Yanhong also understood from the series of events that had just occurred that Xiao Qingguo had a very low status in the family.

If she were to marry into the family, Zhang Yanhong would likely be bossed around and suppressed by her mother-in-law, Yang Lijuan, and also bullied by Xiao Qinghua's family.

The three glasses of water were poured, but Zhang Zhongli, Chen Wan, and Zhang Yanhong had no appetite for them.

“In-laws, Qingguo came back last night and told us that you should come over today to discuss the marriage of the two children.”

Yang Lijuan began to speak.

Zhang Zhongli and Chen Wan exchanged another glance, their eyes revealing a hint of anger.

Just three cups of water?

There wasn't even a single piece of food to serve the guests?

"Oh, we came to take a look today. I heard that Qingguo has already applied for and approved his homestead, so we came to see where it is."

Instead of continuing Yang Lijuan's line of thought, Zhang Zhongli offered his own ideas.

"Homestead? Oh, you mean Qingguo wants to build a new house, right?"

"That's right. I've already told Qingguo that he's going to build a new house on the newly applied-for homestead, and my eldest son and I will move in with him."

"The foundation of this old house will be left to Qingguo and his wife from now on."

“This old house has five rooms and is much larger than the new house site. Qingguo has gotten a good deal.”

Yang Lijuan spoke eloquently.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhongli, Chen Wan, and Zhang Yanhong turned deathly pale with anger.

This is outright robbery.

They asked Xiao Qingguo to build a new house for his older brother's family, while Xiao Qingguo and Zhang Yanhong lived in these five dilapidated old houses.

It's amazing that Yang Lijuan could say such a thing.

"Mom, I didn't agree to that, you can't just say things like that. I applied for the land for the house, so the house I built is of course my own house. How can you let my older brother live there?"

Xiao Qingguo also saw the anger on the faces of Zhang Zhongli and the other two. He hurriedly shouted out, almost crying with anger.

"Second brother, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'your house'?"

“My three precious sons are growing up quickly. What’s wrong with them living in a new house? Aren’t they your own nephews?”

At this moment, Xiao Qinghua's wife stood up and began to angrily accuse him.

Xiao Qingguo was speechless.

"Alright, you two brothers, stop arguing. Today, our in-laws are here to discuss the marriage between Qingguo and Yanhong. The matter of the house is settled."

"Next, let's talk about the wedding."

Yang Lijuan didn't care about Xiao Qingguo's opinion. With a single sentence, she suppressed the argument between the two brothers, and then looked at Zhang Zhongli and the other two with a smile.

At this moment, Zhang Zhongli was about to lose control of his anger.

What kind of family is this?!

How could I dare to marry my daughter into this family?

Zhang Yanhong never expected that the man she had chosen would have such an unreasonable and dysfunctional family.

During this time, Zhang Yanhong and Xiao Qingguo were in a very sweet relationship. She was convinced that as long as she married Xiao Qingguo, she would be happy like this forever.

But after what had just happened, Zhang Yanhong felt uneasy and found herself somewhat afraid.

If I were to marry into this family, how would I face my domineering mother-in-law? And how would I get along with my older brother and sister-in-law?

It’s scary to think about it!

"My dear in-law, what are your plans?"

Chen Wan suppressed her anger and calmly asked.

Yang Lijuan seemed completely oblivious to the anger on Zhang Zhongli and the other two's faces, and continued speaking with a smug air.

"My second son is now the captain of the militia company, and his future is immeasurable."

"To be honest, my dear mother-in-law, a lot of matchmakers have been coming to our door these days. But Qingguo is determined to marry Yanhong, so I will naturally let him have his way."

"But I also have requirements for the wedding. When Yan Hong marries into the family, she must bring two bicycles, a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio as her dowry. These are the basic requirements."

"I heard from Qingguo that Yan Hong's brother is a hunter. So, all the meat at the wedding banquet will be provided by Yan Hong's brother."

"Once the Qing Kingdom finishes building the house on the new homestead, the wedding can be held."

Yang Lijuan spoke eloquently, becoming more and more proud as she went on.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingguo was so surprised that he sat down on the ground, staring blankly at Yang Lijuan.

"Want a bicycle?"

At this moment, Zhang Zhongli asked in a cold tone.

At this point, Zhang Zhongli, Chen Wan, and Zhang Yanhong realized that Yang Lijuan was trying to trick them out of two bicycles when she saw the three of them riding over.

Bang!

While the three were still in shock, they heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground on the dam.

"The bicycle fell over?"

Zhang Zhongli suddenly shouted.
