"Dad, we haven't eaten yet. Go check on the construction site and come back later."

Fang Youcai: ...

Seeing his sullen figure, Zhao was puzzled, wondering what had gotten into him this time.

What happened to your dad?

"You wanted to buy someone and live like a pampered prince, but suddenly you realized you didn't have enough money. You're in a bad mood now, aren't you?"

"What kind of daydreams are you having in broad daylight? You think you're some kind of landlord, buying people up. How dare you!"

“Mom, we really should buy a few. Think about it, our family isn’t small anymore. If you and Dad aren’t around, someone has to look after things, right?”

Besides, we were already overwhelmed last winter, and I reckon this year will be even busier. Can the two of you finish? If you can't, the money will just slip away. Buy two people; maybe that person can earn the money back themselves over the winter.”

"I don't even think about spending as much money on furniture as I do on people now, let alone buying furniture."

Fine, I'm a conservative. Asking her to spend money in advance is simply impossible.

Before the meal, Wang Dayong went to Song Chunni's room again, served her the food, and then started eating himself.

"Dayong is such a filial son!"

Fang Youcai reminded her, "In-law, don't envy others. Your Fengzi and my daughter are very filial."

Some people just can't see the good things around them and turn around to envy others. The Su family is so lucky; not only does she have such a good son as Song Feng, but her daughter Xiao Ning has also brought her so much happiness.

We should be grateful and content.

“That’s right, my dear in-laws are right. Xiao Ning is also extremely filial.” Madam Su readily agreed.

She was quite sensible; Fang Youcai grunted twice and stopped talking. Zhao kicked him from below, saying he was too talkative.

"Damn it, why did you kick me?" What did he do now? Shouldn't we be praising him? Look how much he cares about his daughter, why did you kick him?

Zhao:......

Fang Xiaoning smiled. This father seems to be getting more and more protective of his children. That's good!

The clan chief's house.

The old man suffered a great shock last night. He was carried home and only woke up after the doctor gave him acupuncture. After waking up, he remained silent, as if all his energy had been drained away. Seeing him like this, his family couldn't bring themselves to say anything to scold him.

Until the daughter-in-law came home crying...

"Husband, husband, the workshop fired me! They really don't want me anymore! What should I do?" The eldest daughter-in-law cried with tears and snot streaming down her face. She was truly heartbroken. Her wages were equivalent to those of a man, no, more than a man could earn doing manual labor, because manual labor wasn't available every day.

Five or six hundred coins a month's wages just went down the drain.

"They don't want you anymore?" The eldest son of the clan leader couldn't believe that Song Feng, who was usually honest and kind, had actually done something like firing his wife.

"Yes, they've settled my wages, even the half-day I worked today. But what are we going to do, husband? We can't lose this job! Why don't you have Dad apologize to the Song family?"

The clan chief's wife was filled with resentment; this was truly a case of misfortune befalling their family. They worked for their family, so by rights they should have been subservient and fawning over them. But her father-in-law was utterly foolish. Not only did he disrespect them, but he also pressured them, even threatening to expel them from the clan. Did he really think Song Feng was still the same Song Feng he used to be, someone he could bully at will? Now Song Feng's wings had grown incredibly strong!

The old man lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) trembled with anger upon hearing his eldest daughter-in-law's words. How dare this little brat fire his daughter-in-law! It was a blatant slap in his face, and in front of the whole village no less!

By now, the news must have spread throughout the village, right? Is he smug and satisfied? Song Youliang's descendants are just as ruthless as he is. If it weren't for the villagers' opportunism and betrayal yesterday, he would have dealt with him last night. Fire his family? He's the one packing his bags and getting out of here now, isn't he?

It's all the village chief's fault. Those two damned village officials didn't help him, and the villagers are also opportunistic, especially the Song clan.

Two tears fell from her trembling eyelids and slid down to her temples.

His face was trampled on the ground like that; how could he ever stand in Zaoshu Village again?

As for what the eldest daughter-in-law said about apologizing to Song Feng, saying sorry, he couldn't do it. Even if he starved to death, he would never bow his head to that little scoundrel.

It's just a job; if it's gone, it's gone. I'll just find another one!

He could only comfort himself in this way.

"Husband, look..." In her heart, she still hoped that her father-in-law would humble himself. Such a good job was hard to find even with a lantern. It was right at their doorstep, the work was easy, and most importantly, they could do it every day.

She fought so many women to finally win it, and now her family has ruined it all!
