"Auntie, please let us in!"

Wei Kunyao and Wei Kuncheng, along with their wives and sons, blocked the entrance to the Chen family's ancestral home. After witnessing Chen Xiangui's cousin's outburst and the way he drew his knife, they truly dared not step inside.

Grandma Wei Shufen is from Xiazhai Village, which is separated from Lianzhai by Shangzhai, just two pu roads away. In this era where motor vehicles are used and people walk, the elderly can easily carry ten kilometers on their shoulders and in bags.

After sixteen years of no contact, the reason why Wei's nephews suddenly came to claim kinship was because Chen Dong's family came to Lianzhai yesterday. The whole village, young and old, watched the scene. There happened to be a married daughter who went back to her parents' home. Afterwards, she returned to her husband's family in Shangzhai and told others about what she had seen and heard.

Those in Shangzhai who heard about this said that if anyone's family was related to Old Chen's family in Lianzhai, they would all benefit from it.

As luck would have it, one of the Wei family's daughters-in-law overheard this and, after inquiring further, vaguely remembered her husband saying that one of their aunts had married into the Lianzhai family, specifically the Chen family.

Although we haven't been in contact for sixteen years, this is a perfect opportunity. We can go and reconnect with the Chen family, which will allow us to connect with America's wealthy relatives who have returned!

Thanks to this family relationship, even if America returns as a wealthy man and sees her aunt's nephew in dire straits, with only a little bit of money leaking out between his fingers, it would be enough for the Wei family to enjoy endless glory in Shangzhai!

The older men in the Wei family all knew how their family had offended their uncle's family back then. Wei Kunyao and Wei Kuncheng didn't plan to come, mainly because they were afraid that their three cousins ​​would break their legs.

But his sons and nephews kept saying, "This is a family relationship, so many people want to get close to us, but they can't. Dad, Uncle, don't be confused. Even if you don't think about yourselves, you have to think about your children and nephews."

"So what if no one went to your uncle's funeral back then? We can all go and apologize to your aunt in person. She can't possibly disown you and your second uncle as her own nephews!"

"We're all blood relatives, there's nothing to be ashamed of!"

But what they didn't expect was how angry the old lady, Wei Shufen, was when her family didn't come. Coupled with the fact that she had secretly reported her cousin's second son years ago, it was no longer a matter of admitting or not admitting her mistake.

This has created an irreconcilable feud!

If Old Mrs. Wei Shufen could still forgive Wei Kunyao and his ilk, even the eldest son, Chen Xiangui, would be furious. The Wei family has already been expelled from the Chen family. Now, let alone recognizing relatives, if they meet on the street, they won't even spit on each other in front of each other. That would be considered a sign of good manners from the Chen family.

Wei Kunyao and his group lingered at the entrance of Old Chen's ancestral home for a long time, becoming the butt of the commotion watched by the people of Lianzhai Village. Finally, Huang Lanzhi splashed a basin of muddy water on their shoes, and they left cursing and swearing.

Meanwhile, at the Liu family in Shangzhai, Liu Lishi and her second daughter-in-law were picking vegetables they had brought back from the field. Liu Shaoling, the eldest daughter of the eldest son's family, was coaxing her second uncle's younger brother, while occasionally watching her two younger brothers grind sweet potatoes with a machine, preparing to dry them and make sweet potato flour.

Her mother was taken to the hospital by her fourth uncle and others. They didn't know if she was alive or dead. The three siblings cried for a while a few days ago. The two younger brothers cried and wanted to find their mother. Liu Lishi beat them with a bamboo stick. Liu Guomin couldn't stand it and came out to stop her, afraid that his mother would hurt the two boys.

Liu Lishi was a mother-in-law who was extremely domineering at home. When her eldest son married Chen Lianxiang, the Chen family disliked him. If it weren't for Chen Lianxiang's insistence on marrying him, Chen Xiangui would have had no choice but to give in to his daughter's wishes.

After marrying into the family, Liu Li would often act like a wicked mother-in-law and make things difficult for Chen Lianxiang. For the sake of her husband, Chen Lianxiang endured it and didn't tell her parents or brothers when she went back to her parents' home.

When Chen Lianxiang gave birth to her eldest daughter, Liu Lishi considered her a "money-losing burden" and didn't even let her take care of Chen Lianxiang during her postpartum period. In the dead of winter, Chen Lianxiang had to carry the baby to the pond to wash diapers. Some older women who were also washing clothes saw this and hurriedly called out, "Girl, you've just finished your postpartum period. How can you wash diapers here in the dead of winter? You'll ruin your health!"

Chen Lianxiang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her face pale, and said with a wry smile, "Auntie, it's alright. My family is too busy, so I just washed myself. It's nothing serious."

"Silly child, you're young now, just out of your postpartum period. Don't you know to avoid getting cold? When you're old, you'll know whether what I'm saying is right or wrong. When your knees and back hurt, it will be too late. Get up, let me help you wash!"

Later, Liu Li's second son married a woman from the same village. After she entered the family, Liu Li, in order to make things difficult for her eldest daughter-in-law Chen Lianxiang, deliberately treated her second daughter-in-law well and neglected Chen Lianxiang even more.

Liu Guomin's father died early, and Liu Lishi raised the three siblings. Liu Guomin was somewhat indecisive, and Liu Lishi was a bully at home, always listening to his mother. Chen Lianxiang initially thought that marrying into the family would change things a bit, but later found it was all in vain.

As time went on, Chen Lianxiang and Liu Guomin had a few arguments, but Liu Guomin still always put his mother first. Eventually, he even sided with Liu Lishi to criticize Chen Lianxiang for not being generous enough.

Chen Lianxiang's decision to drink pesticide was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather a result of unspeakable suffering. She blamed herself for being blind to marry Liu Guomin, a "mama's boy," despite her desperate desire to die.

After Liu Li's second daughter-in-law married into the family, she gave birth to a boy. Liu Li not only helped take care of her during her postpartum period, but also asked her sister-in-law Chen Lianxiang to wash the baby's diapers. Naturally, Chen Lianxiang refused, so Liu Li went around the village telling everyone how Chen Lianxiang was.

The bad things Liu Li-shi said outside reached Chen Lianxiang's ears. That day, after finishing work at the team, Chen Lianxiang confronted Liu Li-shi about it. Liu Guoliang's wife was still pretending to be a good person, crying and complaining, "Sister-in-law, it was my fault. I shouldn't have let you help wash the diapers. I should have washed them myself, but Mother said that women in their postpartum period shouldn't touch cold water!"

These words only brought out all of Chen Lianxiang's bitterness. She had raised all three of her children on her own. In the days immediately following the birth of her child, Liu Guomin would cook some porridge for her after work.

When they were old enough to get out of bed, they had to wash their own diapers and clothes and cook for themselves. Liu Lishi stayed at home and didn't go to work in the team. She wouldn't help them when they saw her, and would even make sarcastic remarks.

At this point, Chen Lianxiang exploded and started making a scene. Liu Guomin also came over and started criticizing Chen Lianxiang. Even her sister-in-law, who had married into the village, came back and pointed at Chen Lianxiang's nose, saying bad things about her.

In a fit of anger, Chen Lianxiang grabbed a pesticide bottle and started drinking it. Liu Guomin reacted quickly, fearing a fatal accident, and pulled Chen Lianxiang away. But not long after, Chen Lianxiang was lying on the ground clutching her stomach.
