Yun Sanman had no idea this shrew would dare to strike.
Caught completely off guard, Gao Fengjuan grabbed his hair and began to tear at it violently.
Old Man Yun's face paled, and he rushed over to break them up, "Ay, Fengjuan, what... what are you doing? Let go quickly!~"
How could these two start fighting just like that?
Madam Gu's expression also soured. She signaled for Da Man and Er Man to pull Gao Fengjuan away.
This was their home, and to resort to blows over a few words was simply unacceptable...
"Wuwu, Yun San Lao, you ungrateful wretch, wuwu, I, I'll beat you to death!~"
Gao Fengjuan, like a tigress, dragged Yun Sanman from the bench onto the ground.
Then she sat on top of him, slapping his face and scratching him...
"You prodigal son, I'll kill you!~" Yun Sanman was also enraged.
This shrew had just said she wanted to please Sweet Baby, and now she was throwing a tantrum in front of the Yun family.
It was true that he was a live-in son-in-law, but being publicly humiliated wounded the family's pride...
Yun Sanman roared with anger and, with a swift roll, pinned Gao Fengjuan to the ground.
"Wuwuwu, Daddy, don't hit Mommy, don't hit Mommy!~" Gao Jingde hugged Yun Sanman's waist, on the verge of tears.
Da Man and Er Man also rushed over and pulled Yun Sanman off.
"Third Brother, calm down!~" Yun Da Man advised.
Mother and Father had already said that they would raise the money for building the house themselves, and they wouldn't ask Sanman for any help even if they were short...
It wasn't worth fighting over this matter.
The wine pot and half-filled teacup on the table were spilled, and the lamb-filled pastry was also knocked to the ground.
"Wuwu, *cough*, *cough*, not... not human, wuwu!~"
Gao Fengjuan, weeping and cursing, got up and, not forgetting herself, poured herself a cup of water and gulped it down.
Liu Cuirong heard the commotion and ran in.
Seeing her third sister-in-law's eyes red with crying, she let out a snicker, "Haha, Third Sister-in-law, what are you doing acting up? Is my house a place for you to throw a tantrum?"
Such a troublesome daughter-in-law should be divorced as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Sanman would lose ten years off his life...
Gao Fengjuan glared at her and cursed, "What business is it of yours?"
Meddling busybody.
"Who are you cursing? I'm asking you, who are you cursing?" Liu Cuirong, hands on her hips, strode forward.
She might be weak for farm work, but she never got tired of fighting and scolding.
Since Gao Fengjuan had come to their door to cause trouble, if she didn't beat her senseless today, she'd write her name backward...
"Hit!" Old Man Yun roared, glaring at Liu Cuirong, "Go back to your room, you're not needed here!"
He hadn't even dealt with Gao Fengjuan, and now Liu Cuirong had shown up.
In the future, when Jinshan and Jinhe got married, they had to choose their brides with clear eyes. Those with bad character, gossipy, lazy, and unreasonable wives were absolutely not to be taken.
They wouldn't even take them if they were given for free...
"Dad, don't be afraid, I'm here today, this old hag won't dare to do anything to Sanman!~"
Liu Cuirong rolled up her sleeves and, with the air of a mother who was the greatest in the world, walked up to Gao Fengjuan.
"Get back to your room!" Yun Er Man shoved her with a punch.
Before Liu Cuirong could react, he hoisted her onto his shoulder and carried her back to the east wing...
Little Xi Tian, who was almost asleep, heard the noisy commotion and came out to watch the show.
"Mama!~" She snuggled into Madam Gu's arms like a little kitten.
"Did I scare you?" Madam Gu picked her up and placed her on her lap.
Little Xi Tian shook her head, "Not scared, just very loud!~"
This third sister-in-law's voice was like a train arriving at the station, roaring.
She wondered how her third brother had endured it all these years...
Yun Sanman, puffing with anger, peeled a tea egg for himself. He picked up the wine cup from the ground and wiped it on his arm.
There was still half a pot of sorghum wine left. Yun Sanman poured himself a cup and drank it down defiantly.
Seeing this, Zhao Guihua quickly asked Hu Xier to get two cucumbers from the bowl rack for him to go with the wine.
"Fengjuan!~" Madam Gu sighed and looked at Gao Fengjuan, "The money for building the house has been prepared. You and Sanman don't need to spend any of your own."
"If you feel that Sanman working for my family for a day is unfair, then my family will pay him wages..."
After speaking, Madam Gu untied her purse, fumbled inside, and took out a piece of silver, placing it on the table. "Is this enough for a day's wages?"
Little Xi Tian glanced at it. Good heavens, this piece of silver was almost an ounce.
Even a bricklayer or carpenter didn't earn this much in a day!~
"Mother, you... what are you doing?"
Yun Sanman's hand paused as he poured wine, his head full of confusion. "I work for the family and need wages? Am I still human?"
He picked up the silver and stuffed it into Little Xi Tian's arms.
He absolutely refused it.
Gao Fengjuan's face also turned red with shame, and she mumbled with her head down, "I... I didn't mean it like that."
"It's just that the shop can't do without me, and as for doing business, the daughter-in-law isn't as skilled as Sanman!"
"If he suddenly leaves all the work to me, the loss for one day will be more than just this bit of silver!~"
Little Xi Tian: "..."
Well, so you're complaining that Mother didn't give enough.
It would have been better if you hadn't said anything.
"Fengjuan, take Jingde and go home immediately!~" Yun Sanman frowned tightly.
His male pride was shattered.
Gao Jingde also advised Gao Fengjuan, "Mama, let's go back!"
It was too embarrassing to stay here.
Madam Gu stared at Gao Fengjuan for a moment, then took out another silver ingot.
She threw it onto the dining table with a clang and sneered, "Is this enough?"
This ingot was a full ten taels, more than enough to compensate for the day's loss at the shop...
Gao Fengjuan didn't take the silver. She stood frozen, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
If Gao Mantang knew she had caused such a ridiculous scene, he would definitely break her legs.
She didn't dare to take the silver, but she had to take Yun Sanman back.
"San... Sanman, come, come back with me!"
"Scram, get out!~"
As soon as Gao Fengjuan spoke, Yun Sanman cursed angrily.
His loud voice was so powerful it could have blown off the roof.
"If I don't help the family finish building the house, I won't go back for a single day!~" Yun Sanman's eyes were red, and he poured himself another cup of wine.
Little Xi Tian, in her mother's arms, raised her head and looked at Gao Fengjuan, "Third Sister-in-law, do you want to stay the night? Our house isn't safe right now!~"
Don't get hit by anything later...
Little Xi Tian's words were like a magical spell, pulling Gao Fengjuan back from her frenzied rationality.
The Yao Men Zhi Jia.
That's right, their Yun family was a Yao Men Zhi Jia, bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor.
If she made such a scene at their home, wouldn't Little Sweet Baby look down on her!~
"Jingde, let's go!" Gao Fengjuan grabbed Gao Jingde and walked out with a red face.
She was calculating how to salvage her image and prevent her sister-in-law from resenting her...
After Gao Fengjuan left, Madam Gu asked Huaihua to warm up the pastry, make a cucumber salad, and stir-fry some soybeans.
She knew it wasn't easy for Sanman. Today, Madam Gu acted as if none of this had happened.
