Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: Not Just Walking Away

Kong Xiangrui saw this situation and turned back into the house, "Yiting, let’s go eat New Year’s Eve dinner at Grandpa’s place later. This situation here looks hopeless."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Fu Lanhua rush out and yell, "What a homewrecker, truly unfilial! Looking for trouble during the New Year! Your sons Linggang, Linghui are also grown up; in a few years, they’ll need to find wives, too. The way you treat me now, your future daughters-in-law will treat you the same. You’re setting an example."

Bai Liping came out with a knife in hand, "What happens in the future is for the future. You should try being a good mother-in-law first. If I become a mother-in-law, I would never think of ways to oppress my daughter-in-law."

At this time, the neighbors all around were preparing New Year’s Eve dinner, but there were still quite a few onlookers gathered outside. Some said that Fu Lanhua, the mother-in-law, was in the wrong, but others said that Bai Liping, the daughter-in-law, shouldn’t speak like that.

Kong Cunlai had to come out again, "It’s the New Year, can’t you keep the peace? Xiangru, tell your wife to go back inside. What kind of a display is this?"

Then he turned to Fu Lanhua who still wanted to quarrel and said, "Do you want to rest only after you’ve chilled your son and daughter-in-law’s hearts? You don’t act like a mother-in-law should. If you think the Kong Family can’t let go of you, just roll back to the Fu Family.

If you vent your anger about the Fu Family’s issues on our family members again, I won’t let you off. The house is never peaceful because of you."

After scolding her, he turned and walked back into the house with his hands behind his back. The children at the door of each room peeked out, not knowing if they’d still get to eat the New Year’s Eve dinner; none of them looked happy.

Having received a warning, Fu Lanhua didn’t dare to make more trouble, but she felt she couldn’t save face and got up to go back to her own room, not caring about anything else anymore.

Now in the courtyard, only Eldest Brother Kong Xiangru and the second brother with his wife remained. Kong Xiangru stood there, not knowing what to do. Right or wrong, today’s trouble had started because of his wife, and it seemed like the New Year’s Eve dinner wouldn’t happen.

The second brother stood there, torn between his elder brother and sister-in-law on one side and his parents on the other, not knowing what to say. He looked at his wife, still holding the vegetables in her hands, and sighed.

Hao Chunyan looked toward her husband, "Are we still going to cook this meal or not?"

Kong Xiangru said, "Let’s cook it. Otherwise, what will mom and dad eat later?"

Inside the house, Lu Yiting heard that outside had quieted down and got up from the bed, "I’ll go and help the second sister-in-law. Otherwise, when will we ever get to eat?"

Kong Xiangrui stopped her, "We’ll go eat at Grandpa’s. Who knows if another fight will break out later. Let’s not get involved."

Lu Yiting felt torn, "Isn’t that a bit bad? We’ve already had an unhappy quarrel today; if we leave now, dad will lose face too."

After listening to his wife’s words, Kong Xiangrui sighed, "Then I will accompany you."

The two of them went out to the kitchen, "Second sister-in-law, what else needs to be done? I’ll help you out here. I really can’t stand the smell of cooking oil."

Hao Chunyan saw that her brother-in-law and his wife hadn’t left them high and dry and felt that this sister-in-law was sensible after all, so she smiled, "Those vegetables, help me pick and wash them. I’ll come and stir-fry them later."

Kong Yalu, the elder daughter of the second family, ran in from outside, "Mom, can I help too?"

Hao Chunyan laughed, "Sure, you’re going to be ten after the New Year; you’re a big girl now. You should start learning to do things."

Lu Yiting smiled and waved to Kong Yalu, "Sit here; let’s do it together."

Lu Yiting thought that if the mother-in-law wasn’t creating trouble, the family actually got along quite well. If it hadn’t been for the mother-in-law’s behavior this morning that angered her sisters-in-law, she herself wouldn’t have been affected.

Who would have thought things would turn out like this.

Kong Xiangru saw that his younger brother had entered the kitchen, and he had no choice but to go in and help as well. Otherwise, this New Year’s Eve dinner looked like it would become a midnight snack.

While they still hadn’t finished cooking, Auntie Tang came over with packed food, "Happy New Year, everyone. I made extra spareribs today and cooked a lot of shrimp, so I brought some over to add to your dishes."

Her words were kind, but in reality, she wanted to save face for the Kong Family, probably because the neighbors, the Gu family, didn’t want Lu Yiting, who was pregnant, to go hungry, so they sent food over.
