The old lady's eyes widened. How could her eldest son say such a thing? She stretched out her hand to try to stop him. Although her leg was injured, her arm was also scraped and the skin was broken. Any big movement would hurt her. The pain filled her eyes with tears.

He had no choice but to shout, "Hey~ You are a grown man, don't do that job, it's dirty," and pointed at his daughter-in-law standing beside him, "Let her do it."

"Mom, it's raining heavily outside. If I get sick from the rain, there will be no one to do the housework. I'd better go."

Just as she was about to touch the urinal, the old lady yelled, "Hey~ Then wait until the rain stops. When the rain stops, my eldest daughter-in-law will fall down."

The eldest brother quickly took over the conversation and stopped what he was doing. "Yes, mother, I will just wash the basin and put it in the room cleanly. There won't be any smell at all."

The bored second brother saw some excitement on the other side, so he stopped lying down and sat up straight, stretched his neck, and pricked up his ears, afraid of missing a single word.

Listen attentively. How can you miss such entertainment?

The old lady was very dissatisfied. The male and female duo were in cahoots with each other and bullied her by making her lie in bed and unable to move. It was just a matter of emptying the chamber pot, so why did the eldest daughter have to protect her so much? However, the eldest son would not be at home all the time, so he would always find a chance to discipline her.

"Well, let's go later."

He tried his best to act reasonable, but his tone was still hypocritical. Although he said he agreed, he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

Seeing that his mother had relented, the eldest brother took his wife back to the house.

The eldest daughter-in-law saw what her mother was thinking and felt a little scared. She pulled her mother's sleeve and said, "Don't do this again in the future."

The other party was a little confused and scratched his head. He thought, since he had helped, why didn't he let him do the same in the future? It was obvious that he didn't let his wife go out in the rain to empty the urine pot.

Seeing his confused look, she explained in a low voice: "When I saw my mother's expression just now, I felt resentful in my heart. If I don't do what she wants, she will find more trouble for me in the future."

"You helped me once now, but you won't help me every time in the future. When you are not at home, mother will definitely find all kinds of ways to order me around."

"And I can handle it. Don't help me next time. Mom will get worse if she sees you like this."

The eldest brother then realized that his defense would put the other party in a more embarrassing situation. If his wife could be the one in charge, none of these problems would occur.

He sighed and put his arm around the other person's shoulders, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

It was so hard to have something fun to watch, but it ended so quickly. The second brother lay on the kang and looked at the sky again. He thought that the eldest brother was really nice to his sister-in-law. Why didn't I notice it before?

He turned his head and glanced at his wife lying next to him. The quilt was all on her. He pulled off the quilt and draped most of it over her. The curled up person slowly stretched out her arms and legs.

"Wife, you haven't talked to me for a long time, please talk to me."

"What's there to say?"

The two men faced each other at first, but when the second brother saw that the other was willing to speak, he turned around.

It was indeed wrong what I did before. It is really awkward to stay in this stalemate. I might as well admit my mistake to my wife first. Otherwise, every time I get home and see her droopy face, no matter how good my mood is, it will be ruined.

"Wife, you are still angry. Calm down. I was indeed wrong last time. It has been so long. Please forgive me."

I hope this woman knows what's good for her, give her a way out and let her step down quickly, and stop pretending. If she misses this opportunity, she'll miss it forever.

Although the second son's wife has not forgiven the other party in her heart, life must go on. The second son would not talk like this normally, so she sighed softly and continued with what he said.

It was indeed difficult for everyone to stay like this, so they turned over and faced each other, "Okay, I forgive you."

The second brother was delighted. He hadn't touched a woman for so many days and was indeed a little suffocated. He held his wife's hand and said, "Then tonight..."

But her hand was pushed away by the other party, "I'm not clean yet, and I haven't finished my confinement yet, so you should be quiet for a few days."

The second brother felt a little unhappy when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do since he was the one who caused the other person to have a miscarriage.

But it’s good that my wife has forgiven me. Now I don’t have to look at that disgusting cold face when I go home.

The second son's wife heard someone outside the yard saying that her husband had stepped on some crops this morning. She didn't hear it clearly, but it seemed that he had to pay compensation or something. She took this opportunity to ask, "I heard that you stepped on other people's crops. Is that true?"

Speaking of this, the second brother felt very aggrieved. It was obvious that he would not be discovered, so why did he end up like this? He could complain to his wife, but if he kept it in, he would probably get sick.

"let me tell you……"

After listening to his words, I felt a little strange. Although Lao Er was unreliable, he would not admit to the crops he had not stepped on. Who on earth disliked him and wanted to mess with him?

After thinking it over and over, I still have no idea. "Are you going to compensate for the third brother's crops?"

I wanted to say no compensation, but the village head had witnessed this incident, so it would be impossible not to compensate. "We'll see when the time comes. Even if we have to compensate, it won't take much food."

The second son’s wife nodded. This man was really narrow-minded. He couldn’t stand his own brother being better off. He was also lazy and greedy. She must have been blind to choose him in the first place.

The rain lasted for a long time. Ni'er and her family of four stayed in the house. Yan Zi was doing chores and Niu Li was practicing calligraphy.

Nier was a little worried. She thought she had made a bad choice when building the house. It always rains, so the house will probably not be as sturdy as those built when it is dry. She will have experience next time, but it is good enough that people can live in it.

This time the yard is much bigger than before. I can run and jump in the yard to my heart's content. The kitchen can accommodate eight people, so it won't be so crowded when working in the future. It makes me feel comfortable just thinking about it.

There's not much I can do when it rains. I can only help my mother with some simple sewing. But there are some benefits. I don't have to water the wild vegetables myself, which makes things easier. This thing grows really fast. It grows to an edible size in just a few days. Why didn't I think of planting it earlier?

The third brother frowned, hoping that the rain would stop soon. If it continued to rain like this, the crops would be soaked and all the work done this year would be in vain.

When passing by the creek, the water level had risen and was much higher than in previous years. I hope that what I am worried about will not happen. If there is a flood, I don’t know how many people will die.

Seeing her father's frowning face, Nier had no idea what he was thinking. Maybe he was in a hurry to go out to work.

"Dad, the rain will stop soon, don't worry."

Nier stretched out her index finger and gently rubbed the third brother's eyebrows a few times.
