Chapter 56 It's not easy to go back to my parents' home either.
The Qiao family is all very open and honest people...

In the afternoon, Xu Chunmei returned from the Niu family with her son, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece-in-law. As soon as she entered the house, she started complaining to Tian Shichang about how the Niu family had no respectable behavior.

They went to the Niu family today to demand an explanation, but the Niu family turned around and accused the Tian family of causing Niu Xianhua's miscarriage. They asked why Niu Xianhua, at such a young age, should have to remain a widow in the Tian family.
When Xu Chunmei heard this, she was about to explode.

“My second son did something wrong and went to labor reform. He’s not dead. He’ll be released in a few years.”

"But that old woman from the Niu family said such awful things, she actually said that Niu Xianhua was a widow in our family!"

"Isn't this cursing the second son?"

"I'm so angry, I'm really so angry."

Xu Chunmei was furious.

Tian Shichang took a few puffs of his pipe and told his wife not to be in such a hurry.

"What's the attitude of the second son's family?"

Tian Shichang knew very well that the Niu family was unreliable.

He doesn't care about their family's attitude; he only cares about the cow and the flowers. What does that mean?

After all, Niu Xianhua is the daughter-in-law of the Tian family.

Her attitude is what the Tian family should care about.

"Don't mention it!"

Xu Chunmei sighed, "The second son's wife refuses to come out, saying that everything is up to her parents. Isn't that a clear indication that she doesn't want to come back to our Tian family?"

“Since she is unwilling to come back and looks down on our Tian family, I will not force her. I had the brigade leader write a certificate of severance of relations for us on the spot.”

At this point, Xu Chunmei couldn't help but feel fortunate that her second son and Niu Xianhua hadn't gone to the commune to get their marriage certificate, otherwise, it would have been difficult for them to get a divorce.

Upon hearing this, Tian Shichang couldn't help but sigh.

"never mind."

"Since she's unwilling to stay by the side of the second son, then let her be."

"As for Tiedan, we'll just have to deal with him properly."

Xu Chunmei nodded, "That's what I think too. I don't believe that our lives would be any worse without Niu Xianhua, that troublemaker."

"Um……"

Tian Shichang nodded. "As for the second son, when I go to the city to see him in the spring, I'll mention it to him as well."

"understood."

"Ugh……"

The story of the brigade leader's family is indeed quite poignant and moving.

When Qiao Nian returned home, she mentioned it briefly while chatting with her mother and her teacher's wife.

The two seemed unsurprised.

“That Niu Xianhua, she doesn’t know how lucky she is.”

Nian Yunci spoke up, "She married into the brigade leader's family. Although her husband was arrested, at least her in-laws are reasonable."

“If she honestly takes care of the child and works hard to earn work points, with her in-laws around, she won’t be bullied.”

But Niu Xianhua chose the most unbearable path.

Going back to my parents' home!
It's not that all maternal families are bad, but it refers to Niu Xianhua's maternal family being very bad.

This can be seen from the dowry given to Niu Xianhua when she married into the Niu family; they only care about money, not people.

When Niu Xianhua first returned home, her family might treat her kindly, but it wouldn't be long before they would definitely try to marry her off to someone else for money.

Wang Xueqin shared the same thoughts as Nian Yunci.

"That's right, when you go back to your parents' home, you have to consider whether they're easy to get along with!"

Especially for married girls, if they want to go back to their parents' home, they are considered outsiders...

Qiao Nian thought for a moment, then smiled and took her mother's and teacher's wife's hands. "Alright, it has nothing to do with us. How other people live their lives is their business, it has nothing to do with us."

"Niannian is right."

"It's just a sentimental remark. The brigade leader and Sister Chunmei are a very good couple."

Nian Yunci sighed.

She also hopes that good people will be rewarded.

But unfortunately, the brigade leader's family had such a second son and such a daughter-in-law...

After a brief moment of reflection, Nian Yunci and the others pulled themselves out of their thoughts and began preparing food for Lu Xiao to eat on the road the next day.

My son-in-law is going back to his unit tomorrow, and the journey will be long, so we need to prepare plenty of food for him. Wang Xueqin had nothing to do, so she helped Nian Yunci with the chores.

Qiao Nian tried to intervene, but the two of them 'chased her away'.

"Xiao Lu is going back to his unit tomorrow, go and talk to him more."

Wang Xueqin said.

Nian Yunci also laughed and said, "Your teacher's wife is right. You should go and talk to your son-in-law more. The children also miss their father and should spend more time with him."

"They're just two little bean sprouts, what could they possibly know?"

Qiao Nian said it, but her body betrayed her by leaving.

Go find Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao was talking to Li Ruihua next door when he saw her coming over, and he quickly stood up to help her.

"Slower."

She is only four months pregnant, but to Lu Xiao, it seems like she is already ten months pregnant.

She looked so nervous, you could say Qiao Nian might give birth tomorrow.

Qiao Nian glanced at the nervous man, then grumbled and stepped forward to call him Master.

Li Ruihua nodded. "Xiao Lu is going back to the army tomorrow, so he doesn't have to go to class today. Talk to him."

Qiao Nian...

Everyone wanted her to talk to Lu Xiao.

They're not going to disappear, is it really necessary to do this?

Although Qiao Nian felt that her family was exaggerating, she still obediently followed their advice.

As for what to say to Lu Xiao?
Qiao Nian was surprised.

The couple left their home and slowly walked along the road.

They walked and talked.

At first, Qiao Nian felt there was nothing to say. But after talking for a while, she became more talkative.

"When you apply for a family compound, you should apply for the kind of compound that's not a tenement building. It's narrow and full of people, I don't like that."

Qiao Nian felt no psychological burden in arranging her husband's affairs.

Lu Xiao held her hand tightly, and listened to his wife's words, nodding with a smile.

"it is good."

"Neighbors should be easy to get along with; make sure you know everything before applying."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will have children and will likely stay in the family compound for a long time to come.

If you encounter bad neighbors, you'll feel upset while living there, and it's also bad for your children's development.

"know."

Lu Xiao obediently agreed as before.

He agreed to whatever Qiao Nian said.

Qiao Nian looked at Lu Xiao with some doubt, "You don't have any ideas of your own? You just listen to me?"

"Ah."

“Our family makes the decisions.”

Lu Xiao did not hesitate at all.

His decisiveness put Qiao Nian in a very good mood.

She stopped and made him bend down.

I kissed him on the cheek.

"Good boy/girl, I like you!"

The girl, who was clearly younger than him, was playfully calling herself "older sister," which made Lu Xiao both amused and exasperated.

The couple walked outside for a while.

The weather was cold, but they were dressed warmly, and their hearts were burning with passion, so the cold didn't make them feel too cold.

That evening, Lu Xiao had another sumptuous meal at home. After eating and drinking his fill, he left home the next morning and returned to his unit.
