This lesbian is too good at talking! I can't afford to offend her!

Chapter 293 Fang Da Niu is making trouble again and Li Zhen retorts

"I'll bring you a basin of the bean sprouts that Ye Zi has grown herself. Wait, I'll get them."

"Don't take it, you idiot! Keep it for yourselves. We have plenty of food at home."

Chen Erlai put down the tofu and pork belly, walked out of the yard, and a moment later brought in a small pot of soybean sprouts.

Chen Erlai wiped away the sweat and said with an eager smile, "It's so hot, the bean sprouts won't keep well. Besides, there are plenty of leaves left, enough for our family to eat."

Chen Feng's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected that Er Laizi would become like this in less than a year.

Chen Feng sighed and said, "Er Laizi, if your father were still alive, he would definitely be happy to see you like this. We have guests at home today, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Last year you treated me to meat. I'm drooling just thinking about the taste. Bean sprouts aren't as valuable as meat. Uncle, please don't be so formal with me."

Zhao Fengping looked up and saw the fresh and tender soybean sprouts. She smiled and asked, "Er Laizi, do you still have these soybean sprouts? I want to buy some."

Shuning said that soy products are nutritious and eating more is good for the body. My mother-in-law has been feeling unwell these days, so she needs millet to supplement her nutrition. Do you have any more at home?

"Are these bean sprouts nutritious?" Chen Erlai asked curiously, "I still have some at home. I'll send some home for you later."

"Shun Ning said so." Zhao Fengping responded, "Er Laizi, let Shun Ning tell you. You can make more money selling bean sprouts."

"Hey, I'll come find Shuning later."

After seeing Chen Erlai off, Chen Feng walked into the yard. Li Zhen had already cut the pork belly into two halves, one half cut into mahjong pieces, and the other half cut into thin slices.

"Old man, did you give the scoundrel any money?"

"How could I forget?" Chen Feng walked over with his hands behind his back, smiling, "We gave him meat coupons yesterday, and we'll give him money today. Er Laizi has a lot of burdens to take care of, including his parents and children. We can't take advantage of him."

"Well, come quickly and make the braised pork." Li Zhen urged: "You stew the braised pork and it smells delicious. I can't make it taste that good."

Chen Feng squatted down to wash his hands and replied in a deep voice, "Let me do it! Help Fengxia pick the vegetables. She can't do it alone."

"I've put the peanuts on the eight-immortals table. You fry them."

Li Zhen took a stool and sat next to Yang Fengxia, raised his hand to pick up a handful of beans, and lowered his head to pick the vegetables.

"Auntie, my eldest brother brought people to the Sun family to make trouble. Will the Sun family bow their heads?"

"Whether the Sun family bows their heads or not, we have to go. The more no one cares about Su Ling, the more arrogant that bastard Sun Tiegou becomes. Your seventh uncle and seventh aunt are useless, ah..."

"Why am I useless?" Fang Da Niu leaned over the wall, craning her neck to peer into the yard. Seeing Li Zhen, she demanded, "Sister-in-law, you won't stop until you've broken up my family, right?"

"If you say so, then so be it." Li Zhen glanced at Fang Da Niu and replied sarcastically, "We are all bad people. We just can't bear to see your family have an easy life."

"You finally admitted it!" Fang Danniu's tone was filled with excitement as she lowered her head and shouted, "Old man, I told you your sister-in-law had bad intentions, but you didn't want to hear it."

"Hurry up and get down!" Chen Sanjin stood in the yard, looking up and shouting, "You're so old, and you're still trying to climb over the wall like a youngster. It's really out of character!"

The beans clunked in the basin, making a dull sound. Li Zhen, without even raising her eyelids, said loudly, "Seventh Brother, go ahead and pick them up. Be careful not to hurt your back."

Li Zhen's face was calm, not feeling embarrassed at all. He spoke in the same loud voice, "Seventh Brother, if you were still a human being, you couldn't stop us from taking care of Su Ling."

Chen Sanjin's old voice came: "Sister-in-law, you can't separate Chunshan and Yingzi. Mancang and Xiaoping are so young, they can't live without a mother."

"Hmph." Chen Feng snorted coldly and cursed, "Seventh Brother, if you try to stop us again, Xiaoping and her daughter will die. Don't regret it then."

"Why can't I survive?" Chen Sanjin was unconvinced and retorted, "Isn't it just that my father-in-law is hard to serve? What daughter-in-law doesn't get bullied?"

Chen Feng put the meat into the pot and said coldly, "After your wife came into the family, our father didn't like her either. Why didn't you say something like this back then?"

Chen Sanjin's face flushed, his lips moved a few times, but he did not refute.

But Chen Feng did not let him off: "Seventh Brother, our father was sent away by us brothers. You didn't contribute money or effort, so you don't have the face to say such things to me."

"Old man, why are you trying to reason with such a heartless person?" Li Zhen scolded coldly, "If he knew what was going on, he wouldn't have let Su Ling marry into the Sun family.

Ergou's wife from Lijia Village was so bullied by her in-laws that she jumped into the river and died. Sun Dasao from Donghe Village died by drinking pesticide. And Wang San's wife from Xihe Village hanged herself, her tongue sticking out..."

"There are many people who are depressed because their lives are not going well. Not to mention the distant past, Sun Tiegou's wife couldn't stand the abuse and took her own life."

"Chen Sanjin, Fang Danniu, if you have any conscience, you shouldn't agree to this marriage."

There was a low sobbing sound coming from the next yard. It was Sun Yingzi crying.

Across the courtyard wall, Li Zhen comforted her, "Yingzi, don't cry. I'm not targeting you. No matter how far Suling and Qiangzi go, as long as you don't agree, no one can force you to divorce."

The flames rose, and Chen Feng stirred the pot gently with a colander. Hearing the crying, he shouted, "Why are you crying? You and Chunshan got your marriage certificate. If your father comes to make a scene, show it to him."

"Uncle, my dad doesn't care about these things." Sun Yingzi sobbed and said, "When he gets angry, no one can control him."

Chen Feng sighed, thinking: Chunshan is a coward, not as brave as Shuning, and can't handle anything. Sun Yingzi is also stupid, and life is difficult for them as a couple.

Chen Feng looked up and urged, "Fang Da Niu, get off the wall right now. This is Aiguo's wall. Why are you climbing it?"

"Chunshan, get your mother down here quickly. We won't be responsible if she gets hurt."

Chen Chunshan walked out of the room, his face full of impatience. He raised his hands to hold Fang Danniu's legs and carried her down.

"Mom, can you please calm down?"

"What's wrong with me?" Fang Danniu said with a look of dissatisfaction, pointing to the courtyard next door, "They are meddling in other people's business. If they hadn't interfered, would Suling have dared to do this?"

Sun Yingzi wiped away her tears and choked up, saying, "Mom, Chunshan, please stop arguing. I don't blame anyone. It's my bad luck that has brought trouble upon you."

The two families were separated by a wall. Upon hearing Sun Yingzi's words, Li Zhen curled her lips and said, "Who doesn't have a hard life? What's the point of complaining? Can it improve your life or provide you with enough food and drink?

Being depressed every day does no good except causing yourself trouble. Hoeing two more acres of land is more useful than complaining.

Yang Fengxia advised, "Auntie, please don't be angry. It's no wonder Yingzi is sighing. With a father like that, who could possibly laugh?"

After saying that, Yang Fengxia yelled at the top of her voice, "Yingzi, don't be afraid. If we can take care of Suling, we can take care of you too. Even if your father comes looking for you, he can't take you away."

Chen Chunshan hid behind his parents in silence, and Sun Yingzi felt a chill in her heart. But thinking of Mancang and the life she had led at her mother's house, she felt she could hold on.

"Sister-in-law, I heard it! I'm so sorry for making you worry about me."

There was a noise outside the alley. Chen Shuning stepped into the house first, and his sweet voice like a silver bell echoed at the door: "Uncle, come home and have a drink of water before you leave!"

"Shuning, let's go to your house another day."
