Guan family.
Zhang Caihe howled at home all day and didn't even make lunch.
The furniture in the main house was bought when she got married. They had been in good condition for all these years, but now they have become garbage.
At first, Guan Lei pretended to help clean up, but later she felt she had no idea where to start and she didn't want to go back to the Zhao family for the time being.
In the evening, she went to Liu Qinqin's house on the pretext of having something to do.
When Guan Xingguo came back from working in the fields, he thought his house had been struck by God.
"what happened?"
Zhang Caihe was sitting on the edge of the kang, sulking.
She was worried about having no place to vent her anger and said angrily: "Why did you come back just now? What's the point of coming back now? Why don't you die outside?"
"What happened? Who did it?"
"Who else could it be? The bitch you gave birth to."
Guan Xingguo frowned and said in a deep voice: "Why are you talking so harshly?"
Zhang Caihe jumped off the kang, pointed at Guan Xingguo's nose, and cursed: "My house has been smashed, how can you say it nicely? You only complain about my bad words now. What did you do in your early years? Bah, I am so unlucky to marry into your Guan family!"
"Listen, you only say a few words every time. I haven't treated you unfairly in all these years. I've always done what you want. What else do you want?"
Guan Xingguo sat on the edge of the kang, pointed at the mess on the ground, and said, "Youshuang is such an honest child. If she wasn't really angry, she wouldn't have gone this far."
"What do you mean, you're still protecting me? So it's my problem?"
Guan Xingguo couldn't help it.
Normally, he is a taciturn man who hardly speaks at home, but today, he really couldn't help it.
"I've told you before that you should educate your children equally, but what about you? Ask yourself, what do you think of Youshuang? From childhood to adulthood, let alone on weekdays, even on her birthday, you didn't even want to make her a bowl of longevity noodles. Is there any mother like you in the world?"
"You're blaming me. I almost lost my life giving birth to her. It's not easy for me."
"But what does that have to do with Youshuang?"
"How can it be okay? She must have killed me. Otherwise, how come Lei Lei and Rui Jie had such smooth childbirth?"
Guan Xingguo said impatiently: "What's the point of you talking about this? Even if you suffered a lot at that time, Youshuang has been busy all these years, almost taking over all your work. Look at the entire Guan Valley, which girl can be as sensible as Youshuang?"
Zhang Caihe waved her hands angrily and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. I no longer have a daughter like her. In this world, either she or I can't have her."
"Why are you so extreme? Youshuang is going to open an embroidery factory and will start construction tomorrow. We should be happy for her. By the way, do you want to go to Gujiatai to attend the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow?"
"Yes, of course I have to go." Zhang Caihe said in a long voice, with a sinister light in her eyes.
"You clean up this room and the kitchen. You are responsible for cleaning up the trouble caused by my daughter."
Zhang Caihe said this and walked out of the house.

Liu Qinqin's home was at the entrance of the village. When Guan Lei went there, they were preparing to have dinner.
The meal is on the table.
It’s also simple porridge, steamed buns, and fried peppers.
Liu Qinqin's family conditions were not good. She had an older brother named Liu Junjun, who was four years older than her. He was married and had a two-year-old son named Dandan.
Because the crops could not be grown, her brother went out to work with the villagers since the beginning of last spring, and the family basically relied on her sister-in-law Wang Xiang to run the household.
Her sister-in-law is actually a very hardworking and efficient person. She is tall and good-looking.
But as the notoriously evil in-laws in the village, her parents just disliked them and always made things difficult for them.
Even if there are outsiders at home.
Guan Lei opened the door curtain and saw the whole family sitting around the table, preparing to eat. Only Liu Qinqin's sister-in-law was standing aside.
Seeing that it was Guan Lei, Liu Qinqin's mother Dou Juhua said enthusiastically: "Hey, it's Lei Lei, come in and sit down, you haven't had dinner yet, right?"
Guan Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I just came to eat at my aunt's house."
Dou Juhua glared at Wang Xiang and scolded her, "You are such a tactless person, why don't you go get a pair of chopsticks for Lei Lei."
The grandson in her arms, Dandan, also imitated his grandmother's tone and said loudly: "You have no sense, why don't you go get a pair of chopsticks for Leilei!"
Liu Qinqin's father laughed happily and looked at his precious grandson with love.
Dou Juhua gave her precious grandson a big kiss with satisfaction.
Wang Xiang blushed, bit her lip, and went out to get chopsticks.
Dou Juhua immediately put on a friendly look and said, "Leilei, come and sit down. When did you come back? I didn't even know about it."
"A few days ago. I had always wanted to come over to visit Qinqin, but my family needed to install a telephone, so I accompanied my mom to the market."
"Ah, you installed a telephone at home. How much did it cost?"
"This time the Post Office held an event, which was quite cost-effective. It only cost less than 3,000 yuan."
"You helped your parents install it, right?"
Guan Lei nodded shyly and said, "In fact, I didn't plan to install one at first, but Zhao Yang and my mother-in-law insisted that I install one for my parents, saying that it would be convenient for them to contact each other on weekdays."
"Look, what a good family." Dou Juhua said, "The other day, I knew your man was blessed and would definitely make a lot of money in the future."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Our Qinqin can also find a good person."
Dou Juhua sighed and said, "Qinqin is just like you. She has been spoiled since she was a child. She has never done much work and has no strength at all. I was thinking of finding her a government employee so that she doesn't have to work in the fields."
Liu Qinqin said unhappily: "Even if I eat government food, you can't push a third-class disabled person to me. I won't marry that kind of person."
Guan Lei said: "I will ask Qinqin to see if there is anyone suitable for Zhao Yang's project."
"That's what I mean. Zhao Yang has a wide network of contacts and knows the people he introduces well. I feel at ease with him."
Wang Xiang came in, handed the chopsticks to Guan Lei, smiled, and walked away without saying anything.
Guan Lei recalled that in her previous life, this woman was tortured to death by her family.
She felt a little reluctant and said, "Sister-in-law, you can eat with us."
"Don't worry about her." Dou Juhua said, "There's no room here. You won't starve if you eat later!"
Liu Qinqin's father didn't say anything and continued to bite the steamed bun.
Liu Qinqin helped Guan Lei pick up the dishes and asked her what she had bought and what she had played in the county before.
No one takes Wang Xiang seriously.
Wang Xiang said cautiously, "Mom, why don't I take some food to my room to eat. Linlin's mother came over just now and asked me to go to her house tonight to teach her how to embroider something."
