"You two treat others the way they are."

"We're all experiencing life for the first time, why should we give way to others?"

Zhao Xiazhi looked very serious.

Zhao Qiuzhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Zhao Binghe's vision went black, then black again, then black again.

Forgetting all about being sad at this moment, he rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Guiying, saying, "Guiying, how are you raising your child? Aren't you teaching her to be a shrew!"

"A shrew is better than a complaining woman!"

Zhang Guiying waved her hand dismissively, "Never mind that. I didn't teach them to break the law; I'm teaching them to protect themselves. They're not officials, so their reputations don't matter!"

"..."

It seems... to make some sense?

Zhao Binghe shut his mouth and was easily persuaded.

Zhao Xueyi also came over to join in the fun, "Mom, Mom, can I use these tricks? I want to be a shrew too, it looks so cool."

You don't need it.

Why?

"This child still doesn't have a clear understanding of himself," Zhang Guiying glanced at him. "Because intellectually disabled people can do whatever they want."

"..."

They scolded him again!

Zhao Xueyi disagreed, "Mom, I just have a low level of education, it doesn't mean I have a problem with my intelligence."

"Oh, then I'll test you."

Zhao Xueyi said confidently, "You take the test."

"Learning without thinking is futile!"

Zhao Xueyi hesitated for a moment, "Is it true that one enjoys life without learning or thinking?"

Zhang Guiying's lips twitched violently, "The wind and snow have been pressing down on me for two or three years."

"Old cold legs and arthritis."

"Two tigers cannot share one mountain."

Zhao Xueyi gradually gained confidence, exclaiming, "Two times three equals six!"

Zhang Guiying, "..."

Zhao Xiazhi, "..."

Zhao Qiuzhi, "..."

Zhao Binghe, "..."

The whole family was rendered speechless by Zhao Xueyi.

The person in question was oblivious, standing there with their head held high and chin raised, waiting for others to praise them.

Zhang Guiying wiped her face and quickened her pace.

Ah shit.

She'll argue with anyone who says this thing isn't mentally challenged!

……

The Chen family.

After seeing off the Zhao family and the neighbors who had come to watch the commotion, Chen Baozhu could no longer bear the blow. She covered her face, rushed into the house, threw herself onto the bed, and burst into tears.

Mr. Chen gave his wife a wink, signaling her to go check on Chen Baozhu.

He then went to Zhao Limin, who was covering his face and remaining silent, and patted him on the shoulder. "Do you need me and your mother to borrow some money from the neighbors to tide you over?"

"..."

Zhao Limin felt a warmth in his heart.

Even his father-in-law knows how to pity him.

His parents, however, only knew how to push him to the brink of death.

Zhao Limin raised his head, revealing reddened eyes, and forced a smile. "No need, Dad. I'll just go to school tomorrow to get an advance on my salary."

He borrowed money from his neighbor to give to his son-in-law.

If word gets out, Zhao Limin will lose face.

Mr. Chen didn't insist, sighed, and sat down next to him. "What are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Limin shook his head. "I don't know. My mind is a mess right now... Dad, I'm afraid Baozhu, Yuanyuan, and I will have to stay home for a while longer."

Zhao Limin had not originally planned to stay in Chen's place for a long time.

He figured his parents would definitely come to the Chen family to take them back.

He had already made plans.

When his parents came to pick him up, he and Baozhu took the child and reluctantly stayed at home for a while.

Once the school's subsidized housing was purchased and renovated, he immediately moved there with Baozhu and the children.

But now.

All plans were disrupted.

Zhao Limin is now penniless and doesn't even have the money to rent a place, so he can only stay at the Chen family's house for a while.

Chen's father had already guessed that Zhao Limin would be staying at his house.

This was a golden opportunity to offer timely help, and Mr. Chen certainly wouldn't refuse.

His family helped Zhao Limin through this difficult time, and Zhao Limin will remember their kindness for decades to come.

Mr. Chen immediately extended a warm welcome, showering him with compliments like they were free: "You silly child, why are you being so polite with your mother and me? You two are having a tough time right now, if we, as your parents, don't help you, who will?"

"Just relax and stay here, treat this place as your own home."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Zhao Limin's eyes reddened even more, and he was deeply moved. Other parents all thought only of their children, but his parents were different from other parents.

Do not!

The letter severing ties has already been signed.

They are no longer his parents!

Chen's father left the courtyard to Zhao Limin to calm him down, while he went inside to announce to his two sons and Hu Lan that the young couple would be staying at their home with Yuanyuan for an extended period.

Hu Lan's world has collapsed.

The house we live in is a small courtyard that my in-laws allocated to their fertilizer factory. The courtyard isn't big; there are only three rooms for sleeping.

My in-laws share a room.

She shared a room with her husband, Chen Dongguo, and their son, Hao Hao.

The remaining room was occupied by the younger brother-in-law, Chen Dongliang.

Chen Dongliang is a high school student who will be a senior in high school after the summer vacation. When his sister-in-law's family moved in, his parents-in-law said that their son-in-law was too busy with his studies to be disturbed.

So her in-laws arranged for her husband's older sister and her family of three to move into her and Chen Dongguo's room without consulting her.

Wait until she gets off work and goes home.

Her in-laws had already laid out a mattress on the floor in her room and hung a curtain to separate it from the bed.

What's infuriating is that...

The floor mats were for her and Chen Dongguo.

Without her consent, her in-laws arranged for her husband's older sister and her husband to sleep in her bed.

Hu Lan was about to lose her temper when Chen Dongguo stopped her and advised her that her brother-in-law's family wouldn't be staying for more than a few days anyway.

Just bear with it and it will pass.

Hu Lan endured it, and endured it for more than half a month.

For the past two weeks, she and Chen Dongguo haven't been able to do anything in the house, let alone have a private conversation.

Hu Lan was overjoyed when her brother-in-law said his parents were coming to pick her up. But now, not only has she not left, she's going to stay at their house for an extended period!

I have no idea when this miserable period will end.

Hu Lan couldn't take it anymore. "Dad, Dongguo and I have to go to work. The two kids are making a racket in the house all day long, and we can't get any sleep. My older sister and brother-in-law can catch up on sleep in their office when they're not teaching, but Dongguo and I can't."

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Chen said, "From now on, your mother and I will take Hao Hao to sleep together."

"..."

Hu Lan was furious.

Is this the right way to solve the problem?

Hu Lan decided to be blunt, "Dad, the house is too small for Dongguo and me, it's too crowded with so many people. If it's really not possible, why don't you let my eldest sister and brother-in-law move into the house with Mom?"

Mr. Chen's face darkened. "Moving back and forth like this, what do you think your sister and brother-in-law are thinking?"

"Your sister's family has nowhere to go now. If your maternal family doesn't take them in, who will? Siblings should help each other. Although Baozhu isn't your biological sister, she is Dongguo's biological sister."

"When you two got married, your sister helped you a lot. Now that she's down on her luck, how can you be so intolerant of her!"

Hu Lan was trembling with anger.

They brought up her wedding dowry again.

She knew that the "three turns and one ring" (referring to the three essentials of a house, a watch, a radio, and a watch) that she married Chen Dongguo were obtained by Chen's parents from Chen Baozhu's in-laws. At that time, she refused to go through with the marriage no matter what.

Was it Chen Baozhu who helped her?

She was clearly helping Mr. and Mrs. Chen.

Now look what's happened.

She was the one who owed this favor.

Hu Lan was about to retort when Chen Dongguo stopped her. Chen Dongguo shook his head at her. Hu Lan didn't want her man to be caught in the middle, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Seeing that she didn't object, Mr. Chen immediately made the decision, "It's settled then."

Hu Lan angrily went to the tap to wash her clothes.

I'm washing it now.

Chen's mother came over carrying a few pieces of clothing. "Washing clothes? Your sister just changed her clothes, why don't you wash them too?"

The words were spoken.

Before Hu Lan could refuse, he threw the clothes into a large plastic basin.
