Chapter 134 -134: Every Household Has Its Own Difficult Scriptures
“Little Aunt, Little Aunt’s husband.”
“Woof, woof, woof.”
Following Da Hei’s barks, Xiao Sun and Su Xianyue entered, carrying their son and laden with bags.
“Little Aunt, Little Aunt’s husband, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, younger brother, younger sister-in-law, little sister.”
“Xian Yue, Xiao Sun are here, why are you still holding the child? Don’t let the baby catch a cold,” Mrs. Lu said, about to get down from the bed.
Su Xianyue quickly put her son on the bed, stopping Little Aunt.
“Little Aunt, don’t come down. We’re all family here, no need for such formalities.”
“My little boy has nothing to do at home, so I brought him here to play with his brothers and sisters for a while.”
Su Xianyue said, hastily removing her son’s hat and cotton-padded jacket.
The little one felt shy under the gaze of everyone in the room and hid in his mother’s arms, occasionally peeking out by turning his little head.
Su Xianyue patted her son’s bottom, “What are you afraid of? Look around, there are three brothers and sisters about your age.”
An’an and Lele, feeling brave on their own turf, waddled up to their little brother, babbling affectionately.
It wasn’t long before the little ones ran to the end of the bed, chirping and playing.
Mrs. Lu sighed, “Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Tian is over a year old, can run and jump, and his speech is much clearer.”
“Yeah, Little Aunt, before you know it, I’ve got another one kicking in here, and I’m going to be a mother of two.”
“What? You’re expecting again?”
“Mhm.”
Su Xianyue nodded, touching her belly with a particularly tender smile, “Just over three months.”
Mrs. Lu scolded, “Then you shouldn’t be carrying a child around. What if you fell on the way here? No wonder your face has gotten rounder.”
“Xiao Sun really listens too much to his wife; you can’t let her have her way all the time.”
Xiao Sun sheepishly scratched his head.
“Do your parents know?” asked Mrs. Lu.
Su Xianyue nodded, “They just found out too.”
Mrs. Lu tapped her niece gently, “I know what you both are thinking. Next time, don’t run around so much. The baby in your belly is what’s important.”
After seeing off their niece and her family, Mrs. Lu grumbled, “Elder Brother and Sister-in-law really should have held her back. Being pregnant and all. Visiting during New Year’s is just about conveying good wishes, not necessarily having to visit in person.”
Listening to his spouse mutter, Father Lu kept silent, not daring to say a word.
Otherwise, with his wife’s fierce temper, a single word from him might set her off.
The next morning,
Uncle Lu arrived with his three children, bringing quite a bit of stuff for the New Year’s visit.
“Little brother, Little sister-in-law, Xiao Mei is at home taking care of the family, she couldn’t leave.”
“How is everything at home, Little Aunt’s husband?”
“All good, all good. Brother routinely brings some meat home for his wife, and everyone at Brother’s house, including the baby in the womb, is doing well.”
Little Aunt’s husband said cheerfully as he emptied his basket, “We’ve raised more chickens than usual this year, so I brought two old hens over.”
“We’re all family, no need to be so formal. Each time you visit, it’s either meat or grains; it’s starting to make me feel embarrassed.”
“Elder Sister-in-law, if it weren’t for my wife working with you and your younger sister-in-law, she wouldn’t be earning so much each month, and life at home would be considerably less comfortable.”
…
Mrs. Lu wanted to keep the father and his children for a meal before letting them go, but eventually, Little Aunt’s husband, anxious about home, left shortly after sitting for a while.
“What’s going on?”
Mrs. Lu had just climbed onto the bed when she heard a commotion and saw several women by the window, ears perked, listening.
“You have no right to bully your sister-in-law! You still have the audacity…”
Mrs. Lu asked, “Why does it sound like the noise is coming from Aunt Wang’s house?”
Unable to contain her curiosity, Susu put on her husband’s big cotton coat and ran out to the courtyard to listen.
Mrs. Lu and Jiang Nan also ran out, and as soon as they did, they heard a big commotion from next door.
At that moment, the entrance to the Wang Family’s house was packed with people craning their necks to see what was happening.

“Elder sister-in-law? Does he even look like someone who should be an elder brother? Just because he’s an elder brother, he thinks he can forcefully push people around?”
“That’s your elder sister-in-law. No matter what, it’s not your place as a younger uncle to lay hands on her. Today you hit your elder sister-in-law, will you hit your elder brother or our mother tomorrow?”
“Don’t talk nonsense about other things. Just tell me…”
“What’s going on here?” Mrs. Lu furrowed her brow.
“It seems like the Wang family’s elder and younger daughters-in-law started fighting over something, and now, the two brothers are also shouting and about to come to blows.”
Aunt Wang looked at her home, with chairs and stools scattered about, so angry her hands were trembling, and she gritted her teeth.
“Stop! Stop it!”
The Wang brothers were defending their wives, both red-faced and arguing fiercely.
Elder Sister-in-Law stared at the brash younger uncle who dared to push her and yelled furiously, “Heartless and ungrateful brute. Behaving like this in front of your nephews and nieces, hitting their mother.”
Brother Wang frowned, “Shut up, just be quiet for once.”
Wang Dong, supporting his wife, eyes red, warned, “Li Zhaodi, shut your mouth. You dared to push my wife. If anything happens to her or the child in her womb, I swear I’ll fight you to the death.”
The younger uncle’s fierce look startled Elder Sister-in-Law, who shouted back stiffly.
“Why are you shouting? There’s no need. I’m not a worm in you and your wife’s stomach; how could I know she was pregnant? Otherwise, why would I push her? I’m not stupid. If someone hits me, shouldn’t I fight back?”
Wang Dong’s wife, her hair a mess, was infuriated by the shameless elder sister-in-law.
“If you weren’t always making excuses and causing trouble, would I ever lose control and hit someone?”
Brother Wang knew what his wife was like; probably, his sister-in-law was telling the truth, but he couldn’t just watch his brother hit his wife.
“Let’s split up! Split up!”
Everyone was stunned by this sudden shout, all eyes turning to the visibly exhausted Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang closed her eyes, weary. Ever since the second brother’s wife joined the family, there was a small quarrel every three days and a big one every five.
The elder daughter-in-law was petty and always looked for small advantages, and the younger daughter-in-law was formidable themselves. Aunt Wang, tired of the constant bickering, repeated her earlier statement.
“Let’s split up! Since there’s constant quarreling every day, let’s just separate and live our own lives.”
Brother Wang said, “Mother? This…”
Aunt Wang cut off her eldest son, “Listen to your mother first. Instead of daily chaos and conflicts so severe that you brothers are at each other’s throats, it’s better to split up early. As for my care, we can discuss that later.”
The onlookers who had gathered out of curiosity exchanged glances, all shocked by the Wang family’s decision to split up.
And so, under the witness of a few leaders in the factory, the Wang brothers formally divided their household.
Mrs. Lu sighed, “Every household has its own difficult scripture to read. Seeing one’s own brothers become enemies like that, which parent could stand it?”
Susu comforted her mother-in-law, “Mother, don’t worry. Splitting up sometimes isn’t necessarily bad. Instead of deteriorating brotherly love through daily quarrels, it’s better to separate early. There’s some truth to the saying ‘familiarity breeds contempt.'”
Mrs. Lu was amused by her daughter-in-law’s earnest words and felt relieved that her own children got along well.
