“Yes! Be good and wait for me at home.” Zhou Hengyang’s lips curved up as he spoke.
To be honest, in the past few days since Zhou Hengyang’s return, she had gradually grown accustomed to his presence. She was even quite happy about it. Now there was someone to take care of the heavy chores at home, and she no longer had to worry about intruders or people causing trouble.
Even Zhang Chunxiang had become much more obedient. When she encountered her by the riverside yesterday while washing clothes, she quickly walked away upon seeing her in a sorry state.
Su Wen was also surprised.
The news of Zhou Hengyang’s return had spread throughout the village, but Sun Dahai was unaware of it. Due to his injuries, Sun Dahai had been hiding at home to recover and hadn’t ventured outside. He had been confined for quite some time, but his injury was to his arm, not his leg. Despite this, Old Man Sun had driven him out and asked him to go to his father-in-law’s house to bring back his wife.
Last time, Zhu Yueju had arrogantly attempted to bring back the two daughters-in-law to continue working, but she was quickly driven away by the villagers.
This incident angered her, and she lay in bed for almost a week.
Her third daughter-in-law did not dare to stay any longer. She decided to return to her parent’s home with her husband and child.
Zhu Yueju’s resentment grew even stronger as she cursed her third son for forgetting his mother after getting married.
Old man Sun had never interfered in matters concerning his daughters-in-law, but this time he couldn’t tolerate the situation. He scolded Zhu Yueju harshly and personally went to the parent-in-law’s house to bring back his third son and daughter-in-law, instructing them to learn from He Yulan’s family.
Old man Sun decided to divide the family!
First, he separated the third son from the rest.
In the future, Zhu Yueju could no longer hold her third daughter-in-law tightly in her hands.
Zhu Yueju was so angry that she fell backward. She dared not continue pretending to be sick and weak in bed.
Old man Sun realized that if he didn’t separate the family, Zhu Yueju would eventually ruin it completely. He not only decided to divide the family but also firmly forbade Zhu Yueju from causing trouble for the third daughter-in-law.
Old man Sun’s actions received praise from many villagers, and the third daughter-in-law was extremely grateful. The elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were forced to return to their parent’s home and were too afraid to come back. They were even considering divorce. The third daughter-in-law couldn’t bear to leave her husband and children and desired to live a peaceful life.
However, her mother-in-law didn’t allow it. If this continued, there would come a time when she couldn’t bear it anymore.
Either she would be tormented to death or end up divorcing and leaving for a distant place.
Now that the family was divided, her good days were finally here. How could she not be grateful to her father-in-law? At this point, she finally realized that the one truly in control of this family was her father-in-law.
Although Sun Dahai and Sun Dahe disagreed with the decision to separate from the third brother, they had no choice.
The main issue was that both of their wives had left. Without their wives, they realized that things were falling apart. There was no one to wash their clothes or cook their meals, and they were eating poorly. The house was as dirty as a pigsty, and it was said that they had walked out with a stench all over them.
It was too late to realize how good their wives were now.
After Old man Sun drove the two brothers out, they felt too ashamed to visit their father-in-law’s house. Their previous visit had already been embarrassing enough, and now with their swollen faces, they couldn’t bear to give money or gifts. Every time they went to their father-in-law’s house, they went empty-handed. Sun Dahai was even more audacious. Not only did he not buy his father-in-law any wine, but he also took advantage of him.
Their visits caused headaches for their brother and sister-in-law.
Sun Dahai didn’t want to go to his father-in-law’s house, so he wandered around the village. Unknowingly, he found himself at Su Wen’s doorstep. When he thought about what he had been through in the past few days, he gritted his teeth in hatred.
If it wasn’t for Su Wen, he wouldn’t have been so unlucky.
If Sun Dahai didn’t confront her to vent his frustration, he wouldn’t have been a man..
