While they were busy moving out, Wu Huning fud as she watched them through the window. As soon as they left, she rushed out of her house and ran to check her father-in-law's ho and the kitchen.
When she saw that the furniture was still there, she sighed in relief. She thought that since her father-in-law had left the furniture, he must have left the pots and pans too.
But when she entered the kitchen, she only saw the stove and a pile of firewood in the corner. Not a single pot or pan in sight. Even the jars and water vat were gone.
Clenching her fists, she scread in fury, "Zhao Ya, you bitch! How dare you take everything away?!"
When they reached Song Li's house, Song Min was already waiting in the yard. Seeing them arrive, he quickly ca over to help carry the things.
Since the bedroom had already been prepared, it took less than half an hour for Song Hai to settle in and rest. As for the items placed in the kitchen, with Dong Li's help, everything was arranged in under an hour.
Looking up at the darkening sky, Dong Li said, "Uncle, I have to head back now."
Song Li patted his shoulder and said, "Ah Li, thank you for your help today."
"Uncle, if you need anything, just let know. We are family—it's only right to help each other."
"Okay."
After Dong Li left, the Song family finally went to bathe and have dinner. As for Dong Li, once he arrived ho, he locked the door, stored the bicycle in the woodshed, and went to take a bath.
His family had already eaten dinner, so he quietly went to his room to do his howork and study before going to bed.
Early the next morning, news about Song Hai moving into his third son's house quickly spread through the village. Although no one said anything in front of the Song family, the way people looked at Song Yun and his family changed.
It wasn't a secret in the village that Wu Huning and Ping Qing were greedy and often bullied Zhao Ya. Everyone had assud it was just typical squabbles between sisters-in-law and not a serious matter.
But if Wu Huning had actually driven her father-in-law away, that was a different story. If not handled properly, it could ruin the family's reputation and even affect their children's future marriages.
When Song Yun heard about the gossip, he tried to explain that it had been his third brother's idea, but no one believed him. It wasn't until Song Hai and Song Li personally explained the situation that people began to understand the truth.
While it was true that Song Yun hadn't directly driven his father out, he had failed to control his wife and made his father angry. As a result, families who had once considered marrying their daughters into his family now hesitated.
When Wu Huning found out, she stord over to find her third sister-in-law in a rage.
"Zhao Ya, you had better give an explanation today, or I won't let this matter rest!"
Startled by her eldest sister-in-law's voice, Zhao Ya paused her work and asked, "Eldest sister-in-law, it's work ti now. What are you doing here? Also, what explanation do I owe you?"
Seeing Zhao Ya act oblivious only added Wu Huning's anger. She pointed at her nose and shouted, "Zhao Ya, it must have been you who spread rumors about my family and ruined our reputation! Because of you, my grandson's marriage has been called off!"
Zhao Ya was stunned by her words and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! When did I ever spread rumors about your family?"
"Didn't you tell everyone that Father moved to your house because he was angry with us and I neglected him?" Wu Huning demanded.
When she heard this, Zhao Ya replied calmly, "Eldest sister-in-law, I haven't said a word to anyone outside about our family matters. And besides, isn't it true? If you didn't neglect Father, why did he have to cook and wash his own clothes?"
The onlookers were taken aback by this revelation.
No matter how unreasonable a woman behaving in her daily life was, it could be considered as uneducated. But, neglecting one's in-laws, husband, or children was considered disgraceful and a huge flaw.
Those who lived near the Song family had seen firsthand how Wu Huning treated Song Hai and quietly confird Zhao Ya's words. As the crowd who watched the show grew, the production team's staff finally noticed the commotion.
Walking over with a frown, the staff mber asked, "What's going on here? Why has everyone stopped working and gathered here?"
"Comrade, it's Wu Huning. She ca over and started an argunt with her third sister-in-law. We were just working when she suddenly showed up, demanding an explanation," one of the villagers said.
The staff turned to Wu Huning and asked, "Comrade, is that true?"
Worried that her work points might be cut, Wu Huning quickly replied, "Comrade, I was just asking my sister-in-law about a personal family matter."
"If it's a family matter, then talk about it at ho. Now is working ti—you are disturbing everyone. If you keep being lazy, I will have to deduct your work points for the day," the staff mber said sternly.
Startled by his warning, Wu Huning quickly said, "Comrade, please don't cut my work points. I will go back now."
After throwing one last glare at Zhao Ya, she returned to her area under everyone's gaze.
The production team's staff looked at everyone, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright, everyone, back to work!"
Due to the commotion caused by Wu Huning, Song Yun lost face in front of the villagers. Although he was furious with his wife, he couldn't scold her in public, so he chose to ignore her and treat her coldly instead.
Realizing her husband's indifferent attitude, Wu Huning didn't even dare to glance at her husband for the rest of the day.
While Xie Village was bustling with family drama during the autumn planting season, news arrived in the capital that Cai Bocheng had been captured.
