246 Father-in-law and Mother-in-law’s Suggestion

“If we really do that, you guys will be ostracized in the village! Besides, there’s still Second Brother and Third Brother!” Zhao Xiu thought of something and said worriedly.

“Don’t worry! What can they do to us?” Zhao Huaishan said.

“Father, you’re so stubborn. You can’t go against them head-on. You have to think for Second Brother and Third Brother’s sake!” Zhao Xiu couldn’t help but remind him.

“If your second and third brother can’t even bear these things, they’re just cowards and unworthy of being part of our family!” Zhao Huaishan said.

Zhao Xiu wanted to say something, but Li Shun walked over and secretly tugged at his wife’s sleeve, indicating for her not to talk back to her father.

When Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran heard that the voices had become louder, they hurriedly ran over.

“Grandpa, Mother, stop arguing! Luo Cheng and I will deal with this!” Li Xiaoran walked over and persuaded.

“What can you guys think of?! Just do as I say!” Zhao Huaishan made the final decision.

Li Xiaoran still wanted to persuade him, but Luo Cheng shook his head at her, indicating that she shouldn’t add fuel to the fire.

Li Xiaoran also felt that her grandfather was angry, so she didn’t say anything else.

“Sigh, your daughter and granddaughters have just returned, but your temper is already flaring up!” Xu Xiufang glared at her old man and said angrily.

Zhao Huaishan could hold his ground against juniors.

However, in the face of his wife, who had accompanied him for decades, Zhao Huaishan’s temper disappeared.

“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t say anything else! Rest well!”

Seeing that her old man had finally softened, Xu Xiufang nodded in satisfaction.

“Let’s go into the house to talk. Let the men sunbathe outside!” Xu Xiufang said and called her daughter and granddaughters to leave.

They left the three men looking at each other, then they burst out laughing.

Xu Xiufang and Zhao Xiu hadn’t seen each other for so many years, so they had a lot to say to each other.

Li Xiaoran and Li Xiaoqing stayed for a while before going to the courtyard to look at the vegetables.

After the two juniors left, Xu Xiufang and Zhao Xiu spoke without hesitation.

“Xiu’er, in that case, you and my son-in-law are staying at my grandson-in-law’s house now?” Xu Xiufang asked.

“That’s right! Luo Cheng is a good person and treats me and my husband very well. He treats us like his biological parents! Speaking of which, Xiaoran is lucky. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what kind of life she would have had!” Zhao Xiu nodded and said.

Xu Xiufang thought for a moment and reminded her, “Xiu’er, let me tell you something. No matter how good your son-in-law is, you should think of a way to move out in the future! It’s not appropriate to stay in your son-in-law’s house all the time.”

When Zhao Xiu heard her mother’s words, she immediately asked in surprise, “Mother, why? Now, our daughter and son-in-law are filial to us, and our family is also living together. How good is that?!”

Xu Xiufang glanced at her daughter with disapproval.

“You can’t take advantage of others. If you keep living in Luo Cheng’s house, Xiaoran won’t be able to hold her head up in the Luo family’s house for the rest of her life. Listen to me. You and Li Shun should think of a way to earn money yourselves and save some money. You can build a house yourself and live with Little Qing. It doesn’t matter if your two families’ houses are close or not, but you can’t not have your own home!”

“You must be financially independent!” Xu Xiufang said in the end.

Zhao Xiu understood, then thought of a question.

“Mother, what if the Li family comes knocking on our door again after we leave Luo Cheng’s house?”

Xu Xiufang was furious when she heard her daughter’s words.

“You weren’t someone who was easy to bully in the past. Why have you become so timid now? You’ve already been married off by the Li family and split from the Li family at the same time, but you didn’t get anything. Under such circumstances, those two old farts from the Li family still have the cheek to come and cause trouble? If they really came, wouldn’t that mean that they aren’t afraid of Luo Cheng?”

Zhao Xiu’s mind was in a mess.

“Mom, let me think about it first. Give me some time!”

Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoqing and Li Xiaoran talking in the vegetable garden and followed them.

When Zhao Huaishan saw Luo Cheng leave, he also spoke about the same topic.

“Son-in-law! In the future, you and Xiu’er can earn money yourselves and buy a piece of land near Luo Cheng’s residence to build a house!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Shun was stunned for a moment before nodding.

“To be honest, I have such thoughts too! In the past, I was weak and even relied on my daughter and son-in-law to resist my parents. Over the past few months, I’ve opened a shop with Xiaoran and dealt with all kinds of people. I’ve suddenly become enlightened. I’m also thinking about what job to do, but I still haven’t thought of what I should do to earn money!”

Zhao Huaishan thought of something and said, “Don’t waste your carpentry skills. Use them! You guys have these trees on the mountain in your village, right? You’re not bad at carpentry, so buy some tools to make some furniture. Earn money yourself!”

Li Shun immediately had an idea.

That’s right, he still had to make a dowry for Xiaoran.

If he wasn’t bragging, he was definitely a top-notch carpenter.

“Then I should try?” Li Shun said excitedly.

“Not only do you have to try, but you also have to put in a lot of effort. Do it well. I think highly of you!” Zhao Huaishan patted Li Shunyi’s shoulder and said confidently.

Li Shun nodded, then started thinking.

In the vegetable garden, Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and Li Qing picked vegetables and prepared for dinner.

“Sister, Second Uncle and Third Uncle are coming back tonight, right?” Li Xiaoqing thought of something and asked.

“They won’t be coming back. I asked your second uncle and third uncle to stay at your aunt’s maiden family’s house for a few more days! They should gather more during the new year!” Xu Xiufang and Zhao Xiu had also arrived at the vegetable garden and happened to hear Li Xiaoqing’s words.

“Doesn’t that mean we won’t be able to see Uncle and the others?” Li Xiaoqing said in disappointment.

“If you miss your uncle, I’ll get someone to inform them tomorrow! Don’t tell me you guys are leaving tomorrow?” Xu Xiufang thought of something and looked at her daughter.

Zhao Xiu smiled and said happily, “This time, I’ve agreed with my husband that as long as you guys don’t despise us, we’ll stay here for five to six days before leaving!”

Xu Xiufang was even happier when she heard this.
