Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Even if the things are broken, they won't be sent here!" Cui said angrily.

Shen was not a smart person. She did not hear the old lady was angry at all, because she did not understand why she was angry. She continued to talk to the old lady, "Those things were not given to them by the Bao family, but by the third brother's family... Mother, you said that the third brother's family is rich now, how could they be short of those things? They gave them to the fourth brother's family, why didn't they give them to his parents?"

"Mom, I guess the third brother's family hasn't finished eating those things yet. How about we ask Xiaohong's wife to send a message?"

Cui's face turned pale with anger as she listened to Shen's nagging. She angrily hit the edge of the kang with the broom, "Besides eating, what else do you know?" Cui pointed at Shen and cursed, "You think the food at home is not delicious? Get out of here! Go to the third and fourth brothers' houses. I want to see if they will want you if you become their dog!"

Swearing was not enough to calm the old lady's anger. She picked up the broom on the kang and hit Shen with it. Shen dodged and stood up, but before the stool left her butt, she and the stool fell to the ground. Sheng Kai was faster and jumped away before the stool fell.

Seeing Shen's miserable state, Cui's anger finally subsided a little. "Get out of here! Stop hanging around in front of me all day!"

Cui and the second son's family quarreled like this, but the old man and the eldest son's family acted as if nothing had happened and continued to do what they were supposed to do. In the old house, it was common for the second son's family to be scolded by Cui, and everyone was used to it.

Others had tried to persuade them before, but they were all scolded back by Cui. The Sheng family would not do such a thing that would not only get them no favors but also bring them trouble. Over time, everyone became numb when Cui got angry.

Shen was greedy, so she wanted to instigate Cui to send someone to Shengxuan's house to ask for some leftovers. Unexpectedly, she was not only scolded, but also beaten. She got up from the ground angrily, "What did I say? I didn't say anything. Why do you take it out on me..." Shen slapped herself and muttered...

Shen was a person who didn't know what was going on. Cui had been with her for so many years, how could she not know her? "Get out of here!" Cui pointed at the door and didn't say a word to her.

Xiaoting and Bao Heng did not bring any gifts, and the old lady did not want to ask the third son's family for leftovers. Thinking of the big loss she had just suffered, Shen felt that there was no point in staying here any longer, so she walked towards the door.

Sheng Kai followed him out. Shen was simple-minded, and what she said just now inadvertently provoked the relationship between Cui and the third and fourth families. Sheng Kai was looking forward to the result of the provocation, but who knew that Cui would ask them to get out.

But he stopped walking again after thinking about it, and turned to ask Grandpa Sheng, "Dad, Xiaoting and Bao Heng came to visit without bringing any gifts, so the third family must have invited you to dinner."

According to the custom, when the new son-in-law and daughter return to their parents' home on the third day, the father-in-law's family will hold a banquet to entertain them. At the same time, the elders of the same clan will also be invited to sit at the table, so Sheng Kai asked this question.

But if the old man was invited to dinner over there, he shouldn't be staying at home now... Just now, Sheng Xuan's group didn't even mention asking the old man to sit at the table, and they didn't even say anything polite.

Grandpa Sheng didn't even raise his head. He knew that the incident of adding boxes last time had completely annoyed the third son's family. "Second son, why do Xiaoting and Bao Heng have to bring gifts when they come to visit? We farmers don't have this rule... Besides, our family didn't prepare any gifts for them... As a human being, the most important thing is to pay attention to reciprocity. Our Sheng family is not the kind of people who are unreasonable and pick on others..."

Mr. Sheng’s meaning was very simple. Since neither of their two families had prepared gifts for each other, then no one had to choose gifts. It was enough as long as the gift was thoughtful.

Sheng Kai's eyes rolled around, and he asked, "Dad, how about we go over to eat?"

"I'm old, my legs and feet are not flexible, I will never go to such things as sitting in the banquet again." Grandpa Sheng raised his head and his tone became stern, "Second brother, you are not young anymore, don't be so unruly all day long, go out and wander around... You should concentrate... Tomorrow, you will follow your eldest brother, and both of you should go out to collect firewood tomorrow..."

Sheng Kai got himself into trouble. He ignored what Grandpa Sheng said and just walked out.

"This bastard!" When Mr. Sheng saw Sheng Kai leave, he cursed in a low voice. Sheng Kai had deliberately made things difficult for him, how could he not hear it?

At this time, Xiaolan and her group had already returned home. "Today they knew my eldest sister was coming back, so they cleaned up the old house..." Xiaolan imitated Zhang. "Today they are doing this to give face to my brother-in-law. If we were there, there would be a commotion!"

Mr. Sheng and Cui were very careful about how they behaved in the eyes of outsiders. If they made a scene today, everyone in Shengjia Village would know about it and they would be laughed at to death.

"I just don't understand. How have our family done anything wrong to them? Why do they treat us as their enemies?" Zhang said.

"My eldest sister is about the same age as my aunt. In the past, my eldest sister looked and had a better temper than my aunt. My grandmother was always trying to be the best in everything she did. She must be uncomfortable. My eldest sister is better than my aunt, so doesn't that mean you are better than her? How can she be happy?"

Zhang thought about Cui's personality and felt that it might be just as Xiaolan had analyzed.

"My aunt couldn't compare to my eldest sister before, but now..." Xiao Lan stopped talking when she thought of Chunhua's miserable condition.

"She just added a box to Xiaoting's share. If she says she didn't do it on purpose, I won't believe it at all." Zhang said.

"Mom, forget it, don't mention them. Today is a happy day," Xiao Lan said, "From now on, my elder sister won't have to endure the anger over there."

Cui can bully the descendants of the Sheng family, but she cannot bully the Bao family just because she wants to.

Soon, the kitchen began to serve the dishes. There were two tables full of food, one for men and one for women. In addition to his family, Sheng Xuan also invited guests to accompany him. After the meal, Zhang asked Xiao Ting to stay for a while, and finally urged Xiao Lan and Bao Heng to go back reluctantly.
