A stunning beauty arrived on the island; she invented everything from childcare to babysitting.

"Husband, why are you here?"

Song Wenying was startled and quickly grabbed Hao Ren, leading him outside, afraid that he would hear something bad.

"How did I get here?" Hao Ren was furious. "Someone told me that your second sister-in-law borrowed money from our family and went to the county town to buy things, carrying big bags and small packages. When she got to the team, she heard that it wasn't just six hundred, but several thousand? Tell me yourself, what exactly happened?"

"Not several thousand! Just one thousand!"

Song Wenying was anxious and accidentally let it slip.

"One thousand?" Hao Ren raised his voice. "Where did the extra four hundred come from?"

Where is it?

I saved the money I gave to my family each month.

But can she say it?

Her parents are still here!

If her parents find out about this, will she still be able to go back to her parents' home?

Women who don't receive the same treatment in their husband's family as those from their own, Shen Anning is a prime example.

Song Wenying lowered her voice: "Who cares where he got it from? She'll pay it back eventually. My second brother is a military officer, would he owe us money?"

However, Shen Anning, who has sharp ears, overheard this and anxiously explained, "Little sister, didn't you say I didn't need to worry about this money? That was agreed upon before, that you would work for me and give me half of your wages!"

"What? Half the salary?"

An Ning spoke loudly, and Hao Ren stared wide-eyed at Song Wenying in disbelief.

The villagers knew a little about this, mainly because Ma Cuihua was concerned about her reputation and didn't want others to say that her family had taken her daughter-in-law's job. So she told everyone that Shen Anning had voluntarily given up the job, and that out of gratitude, her family would give Wenying half of Shen Anning's salary in the future.

They all stood up to speak in support of Anning:

"That's what Ma Cuihua said at the time."

"What else? Why should we give her her job when she's doing just fine? Old Ma from the next brigade bought his son a job in town, it cost him over two thousand!"

"The son-in-law can't be unaware of this, can he?"

“I used to think the Song family was quite kind, but now it seems that Wen Yuan’s family may not have given up that job on their own.”

Hao Ren blushed as the villagers gossiped about him, but he didn't dare to act recklessly in front of everyone, so he could only vent his anger on Song Wenying.

"Song Wenying!"

"Honey, shall we go back and talk about it?" Song Wenying tugged at him, her eyes filled with pleading.

This incident is extremely embarrassing to have caused such a stir in the village.

However, Hao Ren couldn't care less about anything else; the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he cursed:

“My mom is the workshop director at the textile factory. So many girls were chasing after me back then, why would I choose you, a girl from the countryside? Isn’t it because you not only have a job, but also a house at the factory? Now the factory is going to take the house back, and you’re telling me that half of your salary comes from your second sister-in-law? I don’t think we can live like this anymore!”

Hao Ren said this casually, and to his surprise, the villagers didn't try to dissuade him; instead, they went along with what he said.

"What kind of housing? Wenying has only been working there for a few years, and she's already getting housing from the factory?"

Anning added at the opportune moment, "That house was originally allocated to my parents by the factory, but later my younger sister took over my job and moved in. According to regulations, since I no longer work at the factory, the house has to be taken back."

"What? The house isn't even yours? No wonder my mother negotiated for so long, but the factory still wanted to take the house back! This is blatant deception! Divorce, we must get a divorce!" Hao Ren completely exploded.

Disturbed by everyone's words, and with Hao Ren saying he wanted a divorce, Song Wenying's defenses finally crumbled, and she screamed.

"Ah!!! It's all your fault, Shen Anning! If it weren't for you, our family wouldn't be like this. You jinx, you cursed star! You did it, didn't you?"

"It wasn't me..." An Ning weakly denied.

However, Song Wenying ignored her completely and wanted to say everything she thought: "The day you came to me for the money, the factory wanted to take the house back the next day. Who else could it be but you? You're just jealous that I'm living a better life than you, so you're retaliating against me like this! You took the money and then denied it, you bitch!"

If things continue to develop in this way, everyone's attention will shift from the Song family's mistreatment of their daughter-in-law to Song Wenying's marriage fraud.

However, a dramatic turn of events occurred.

Song Dabao, having somehow escaped Ma Cuihua's embrace, suddenly rammed into An Ning like a cannonball: "You bitch! You eat my meat, drink my malted milk powder, take my money, and even bully my aunt! I don't like you, get out of here!"

An Ning was so engrossed in watching the play that she was suddenly pushed down by Song Dabao. In a moment of panic, she only had time to switch places with Xiao Nier so that she wouldn't fall on top of her.

"My goodness, what are you doing here causing trouble? Come back with me right now!"

Sister-in-law Song hurriedly came over and took the chubby boy away, but Song Dabao showed no sign of doing anything wrong, kicking his legs wildly in the air while shouting.

"Why are you hugging me! My grandma said that all the things and money in the house will be mine from now on. I don't want to raise this wretched person and this money-loser. Mom, make her give me back my money!"

When Song Dabao shouted that, everyone quieted down, and the way they looked at the Song family changed.

They originally thought the Song family was just confused and had a bit of a preference for sons over daughters, which was why they treated their daughter-in-law so badly.

It seems that the eldest branch of the Song family is treating everything belonging to the second branch as their own!

Immediately, murmurs arose:

"It's a pity that Wen Yuan's money earned from serving in the army was used up by this kid, leaving his wife and children with nothing to spend."

"What does a little kid know? He only learned it because adults talked to him about it."

Seeing this scene, Song Mancang felt as if his old face was on fire.

The old lady in the family usually teaches Da Bao this way. Sometimes he hears it but doesn't think anything of it. After all, it's a fact that the second son doesn't have a son, and he'll still have to rely on the eldest son's family for help in the future.

But to say these words in front of everyone is to lose face completely.

The problem is that it was his eldest grandson who said those words, so there's no way to criticize him.

Ma Cuihua tried to defend Song Dabao, but it had no effect whatsoever, and everyone stopped believing her.

By the time the captain and secretary arrived after hearing the news, An Ning had already disappeared without a trace, so there was no need for her to say anything more.

Song Dongliang glanced at An Ning, who was sitting on the ground wiping away tears, then at the two silent men of the Song family and Ma Cuihua, whose face was etched with meanness, and sighed deeply.

On the way here, someone had already told him what Da Bao had said.

What is all this about?

In other families, a son who marries such a wife would be eager to keep her at home.

And what about Song Mancang's family?

They treated them as if they owed them something, and abused them to death.

Song Dongliang pointed directly at the person in charge of the household: "Brother Mancang, come with me for a moment."

"Brother, you...I...sigh! This whole thing is so messed up, I don't even know how to bring it up," Song Mancang said with a bitter face.

He barely said a word from beginning to end, so how did things turn out like this?

Song Dongliang looked at him disapprovingly: "Brother, you are the head of the family. If you don't sit upright, the family will not be at peace! Da Bao's words were really too much, especially in front of so many people. You will have no reason to complain anywhere."

The two whispered to each other for a while, and Song Mancang finally gave in, looking dejected, while Song Dongliang's expression improved.

He walked ahead of Song Mancang, facing the gazes of the onlookers directly: "The secretary and I will handle this matter today. They only had a problem with Da Bao's education. I will find some educational methods to help them learn. Everyone, disperse! But if I find out any of you are gossiping outside and ruining the brigade's reputation, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
