Protecting her already?

Tian Caihua raised a smiling face and asked, "Where is Xiao Xia going?"

Jiang Xia replied, "Taking some fruit to Great-Grandmother."

Tian Caihua's face instantly lengthened, and she asked another question, "Are Guang Zong Yao Zu's brothers here with you?"

Jiang Xia: "No."

Tian Caihua walked away with a dark face.

As if someone owed her millions! Zhou Chengxin smiled awkwardly at Jiang Xia, "Fourth Sister-in-law, we'll go back first."

Jiang Xia smiled, "Okay."

Then, unaffected, she walked into Great-Grandmother's house next door.

Mother Zhou glanced at Jiang Xia's back, then at Zhou Chenglei, "Your wife is quite generous, but you can't favor one over the other; your eldest sister-in-law will be unhappy."

It wasn't that she thought it was wrong for her youngest daughter-in-law to give fruit to Great-Grandmother's family, but she felt that she should also give some to her eldest son's family.

Zhou Chenglei carried a bucket of fish into the courtyard gate with an expressionless face, "There's no favoring one over the other; it's a matter of reciprocity. Jiang Xia can give whatever she buys to whomever she wants; whoever is unhappy is just asking for it."

The eldest sister-in-law never gave Jiang Xia a good look, so why would Jiang Xia give her fruit? Mother Zhou: "..."

They've only been good for a few days? He's already protecting her so quickly? Mother Zhou grumbled, "Didn't your eldest brother also give you a bucket of fish and crabs? He even said he knew Jiang Xia loved to eat crabs and gave them to her specifically. Why don't you talk about reciprocity?"

*Tian Caihua returned home, and none of her four sons were home. Their schoolbags were casually thrown in the yard, and chickens ran out from the backyard, leaving chicken droppings all over the yard. There was even a pile of chicken poop on the eldest's schoolbag! After a tiring day at sea without earning any money, she was already annoyed, and Jiang Xia made her even more upset. Returning home to a cold stove and a messy yard waiting for her, the annoyed and frustrated Tian Caihua's lungs were about to explode. She roared, "Guang Zong Yao Zu, get your asses back here!"

Zhou Chengxin, who was following behind, shuddered and feigned anger, "I'll go catch those stinky brats and bring them back; they're rebelling!"

After speaking, he wanted to slip away.

Tian Caihua stopped him, "Stop! Where are you going? Can't you see the chicken poop all over the ground? Aren't you going to clean it up? You don't want to eat dinner tonight? If you don't sweep, get your ass over to your mother's place!"

Zhou Chengxin silently picked up the broom that was lying on the ground in the corner and started sweeping.

Tian Caihua picked up the schoolbags on the ground one by one, cursing as she picked them up, "Your parents are really biased; their hearts are as biased as the boundless sea! When the fourth child and his wife go out to sea, one accompanies him, and the other stays at home to cook and do housework. As soon as the fourth child and his wife return home, they have food to eat. What about me? No one helps me with anything; no one helps me feed the chickens or cook. I get up in the middle of the night to go out to sea, and when I come back, I still have to cook for you several masters."

Zhou Chengxin knew that she hadn't earned any money from going out to sea today, and she was in a bad mood. Moreover, she had been busy all day, and she was indeed tired and hungry. He originally wanted to let her vent, but he really couldn't listen anymore. He said unhappily, "My dad said yesterday that he would go out to sea with us today, but didn't you say no? You were clearly worried about having to split half the money with my dad and didn't want him to go."

Tian Caihua became even angrier when she heard this, "Then what about your mother? She can cook at home and wait for Jiang Xia to come back, but she can't come over to help me feed the chickens and cook? I gave your Zhou family four sons; what credit does Jiang Xia have? Look how good your parents are to her! So much fruit; it's obvious that your dad bought it back from the market today. Jiang Xia can't even finish eating it all and is going to give it away to others; they're just biased! And you, you're thinking about your fourth brother's family, treating him like a brother, sharing a bucket of fish with him. Does he treat you like a brother? He doesn't even give you any fruit!"

Zhou Chengxin: "Didn't my mom come over to cook the meal that A Guang and his brothers ate at noon? Yesterday, my mom said she would come over to cook dinner, but you said you would come back to cook it yourself. Besides, we've already separated the family. Isn't it normal for Mom and Dad to live with A'Lei and his wife and help them with more work? Before we separated the family, Mom and Dad didn't do less work. They even gave us the new house; how are they biased?"

"Aren't Guang Zong Yao Zu her grandsons? What's wrong with her coming over to cook a meal? Aren't you her son? What's wrong with her coming over to help with some work? It's not like your mom didn't do a lot before; did I do less? I just don't have as good a life as Jiang Xia; her maiden family is rich, and her man knows how to make money. She doesn't have to do anything at home, and the whole family provides for her with good food and drink! Unlike me, I'm a cow, doing all the work for you!"

Zhou Chengxin also became angry, "You also know that I'm my parents' son; I'm still the eldest son! When we separated the family, why didn't you keep my parents here to live? If you kept my parents here to live, would my parents just sit around and do nothing? You're always talking about how Jiang Xia is; why don't you learn from Jiang Xia and take people over to support them in their old age! You don't want to support my parents, but you want my parents to work for you; aren't you ashamed?"

After speaking, he threw down the broom, opened the courtyard door, and walked out. Then, he saw several sons holding half a watermelon and carrying a basket of fruit standing outside the door, looking frightened.

Zhou Chengxin: "..."

Zhou Wenguang: "Dad, Little Uncle just sent us some fruit and Water Chestnut, saying that he and Little Aunt went to the market today, and Little Aunt bought them. He said Little Aunt asked him to send them over."

Tian Caihua: "..."

Zhou Wenzong: "Mom, I'm sorry, the chickens ran out because we heard the chickens clucking after we finished our homework and went in to collect eggs but didn't close the door properly. Grandma said the chickens and pigs have been fed, and the vegetables have been watered! We'll go drive the ducks back in a little while."

Zhou Wenyao: "Mom, we had lunch at Little Uncle's house. You locked the door to your room, and Grandma couldn't get in to get the rice to cook."

Tian Caihua: "..."

She forgot that she had put the rice jar in the room.

Zhou Chengxin looked back at Tian Caihua, sneered, and walked out.

Tian Caihua muttered, "Your dad just has a bad temper; I just forgot."

Zhou Wenguang: "I'll go drive the ducks back."

Zhou Wenyao: "I'll sweep the yard."

Zhou Wenzong: "I'll wash the vegetables."

Zhou Wenzu: "I'll start the fire."

Tian Caihua hurriedly said, "No, no, you guys hurry up and do your homework; you don't need to do these things. Boys don't need to do housework. You must study hard, get into college, and win some glory for Mom in the future!"

Tian Caihua couldn't bear to let her sons do these things. Zhou Zhou usually did them. She was still counting on her four sons to get into college, make a name for themselves, and bring her honor.

Don't be
