Song Feng glanced coldly at his heartless uncle, "How am I unfilial, Uncle? I personally invited Grandpa to the housewarming party, had him eat at the banquet, sat at the main table, and personally escorted him back after the meal, even giving him meatballs."

"You live in such a nice house, why don't you invite the old man to stay for a few days and enjoy his retirement?"

"Uncle, if I remember correctly, you, not me, are responsible for supporting the old man, right? We've separated our households."

"Bang!" The old man's pipe slammed onto the octagonal table.

Suddenly, Fang Xiaoning felt her mother-in-law beside her tremble several times. She wondered if the old scoundrel had chipped the new table.

"Sir, what do you mean by this?" Song Feng's face darkened.

"What's wrong? I'm an old man, can't I come to my own grandson's house? Can't I stay for a few days?" He glanced at Song Feng and Su Shi with hostility.

“Grandpa, I think you may have forgotten that it was said back then that no matter what happened, the two families would no longer have any contact. Why don’t we call the village chief over and read that document over again?”

“When we divided the family property, it was your uncle and your family that were being discussed, not me.”

“Uncle supported Grandpa, and we, the third branch of the family, will not take our share. We will use it as your retirement money. From now on, we will have no further contact with you, whether it is in life or death. Do you remember?”

"What? Just because of a document, you can skip your filial duties and watch this old man starve and suffer?" Old Man Song said shamelessly.

"Of course not. If your uncle makes you go hungry or suffer, I'll be the first to go to the yamen and sue him for being unfilial. Don't worry, your uncle wouldn't dare to neglect anyone else. Isn't that right, Uncle?"

"Don't drag me into this, Dad's talking about you." The eldest Song got angry, jumped up and pointed at Song Feng, looking like he wanted to fight him.

Su was even more frightened. She tugged at Fang Xiaoning's arm and patted her mother-in-law's hand to comfort her.

"Grandpa, if you insist on staying here, we'll go ask the village chief and clan chief what they have to say."

"Who do you think you are, a woman like you, to speak here! Song Feng, beat him up!"

Fang Xiaoning: ...

That old bastard, he really dared to ask her husband to abuse her right in front of her.

"Grandpa, have you made enough of a scene? This house was built with money earned by Xiao Ning, and she's the one who calls the shots in this house. Who can live here and who can't is up to Xiao Ning. Your grandson is just a freeloader."

Old Master Song's face flushed red with anger. "You...you...shameless!"

“You’re right. I know you’re very proud, ambitious, and hate taking advantage of others. I have to make this clear to you. I’m already supporting my mother and brother by living off their wives. I can’t let you get the stigma of being supported by your granddaughter-in-law.”

Old Man Song: ...That bastard! He's willing to throw mud at himself just to get rid of them.

"You've got guts! Let's go!"

"Grandpa, I'll have Brother Feng take you!"

"No need!" came the angry, yet powerful voice.

The people from the old house followed behind him.

"You silly child!" Madam Su scolded playfully.

Fang Xiaoning looked at him and smiled, "Tomorrow, the whole village will be talking about how you live off a woman."

“If we don’t say it this way, they can leave. If the old man really stays here, are we supposed to carry him out? He’s shameless, so I have to be even more shameless than him. Besides, what did I say wrong? These ways of making money were all your ideas. I just did the work. How much is work worth?”

"The more he talks, the more confused he gets. We're a family, and you're the head of the household. Mother, don't pay him any attention. He's just spouting nonsense. Let's pack up and move into the new house tonight."

"Ai!"

They've moved into a new house, surrounded by such high walls, they can finally close the door and live their own little lives. From now on, they won't have to hide away and have someone guard them anymore.

"Xiao Ning, let's make tofu in the yard tomorrow."

"Okay, Brother Feng, let's start harvesting acorns tomorrow." She was afraid they would worry if they didn't start soon.

"Okay, let them all choose. We have plenty of empty rooms now, so we can fit them all." He felt incredibly pleased when he said this; his house was no longer so cramped that it couldn't accommodate even two more people.

"We pick them out at night; it's too conspicuous during the day. People who don't have them will be envious and think we're not taking them along."

"understood."

Looking at the new quilt, the new bed, the new wardrobe, and the new house, Madam Su gently stroked the soft quilt, tears involuntarily streaming down her face. "Husband, do you see? We have a new house!"

You really left too early!

This was the first time Song An had ever slept alone. Fang Xiaoning thought he would be shy and worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep, but when she went to check on him, he was already snoring softly.

After the whole family went to sleep, Song Feng checked the courtyard, locked the gate, and let the two dogs out. Watching his dogs running around happily, he remembered how they had insisted on coming back with the village chief's dog earlier that day, when he went to return it to her; the village chief's wife had been quite displeased!

"Are the doors all closed?"

"All right."

"Let's take a break, we're exhausted today."

Lying in the new quilt, smelling the sunshine and the faint fragrance of his wife beside him, Song Feng felt a little distracted.

“Xiao Ning…”

"I'm sleepy, stop messing around!" He then turned over and soon started snoring softly.

Song Feng, full of enthusiasm, was completely dampened by the splash. Looking at the restless little Song Feng, I thought, "You'd better behave yourself, you're out of luck!"

Oh well, I'm going to have another sleepless night.
