Chapter 313 - 314: The Fourth Brother is Back 1

Chapter 313: Chapter 314: The Fourth Brother is Back 1

But Honghong married into a town, working in a department store, her man is a teacher who survives on the public’s bread, having two big fat sons that grandma really likes- what could she possibly do to worry mom?

If it’s not Honghong, it must be the fourth one!

Chen Jiandang, who is known for his straightforwardness, thought so and blurted it out: "Mom! Did anything happen to the fourth brother?"

Zhou Zhaodi sitting next to him didn’t even have time to stop him before he had spoken out.

What a thickhead!

Everyone at home is observant, who wouldn’t imagine it’s because of the fourth brother’s issues? You can tell others have kept their mouths shut but he, on the contrary, runs straight into trouble.

Hearing this, everyone simultaneously looked at Ma Xiulian at the main seat, waiting for her response.

After all, they are brothers; they couldn’t help but be somewhat worried.

However, Ma Xiulian calmly said: "It’s nothing, the fourth brother will surely return safely."

Her darling Guibao is a fairy descended from heaven, a fortunate being. Since she’s spoken, the fourth brother will inevitably be safe.

Zhou Zhaodi immediately echoed: "Exactly, you can tell from just one look that the fourth brother has great luck and a long life. What could possibly happen to him?"

The others then thought they might have been overthinking. However, in the following days, they realized that their old lady was growing more and more irritable than before.

As if she had swallowed dynamite, anyone who made the slightest mistake at home would be severely reprimanded.

Even the quality of the cooking had noticeably dropped. Either too much salt was being put, or too little.

During lunch, Chen Jianye made a casual remark and was reprimanded so badly that he couldn’t even lift his head.

And so, everyone in the household began to act more obediently, trying their best not to upset their old lady.

Even Chen Erbao, the little monkey, only dared to fool around outside and sat quietly upon returning home behaving perfectly.

Li Chunhua did not dare to be foolish during this time for fear of being severely scolded by her mother-in-law and even being sent back to her mother’s home for a few days.

At night, she quietly said to her man, "Do you think something really happened to the fourth brother?"

Chen Jianye immediately scowled, whispering harshly: "Fourth brother is perfectly fine; if you dare gossip again see if I don’t beat your mouth to pulp!"

Li Chunhua looked wronged: "I was just asking, I wasn’t really hoping for anything bad to happen to the fourth brother. I don’t believe others haven’t thought about it."

Chen Jianye also had similar suspicions in his heart, so his tone wasn’t that harsh: "Just asking is also forbidden! Our parents must be worried right now, you need to quit stirring the pot!"

"You don’t need to worry about that, I’m not stupid, I won’t upset mom at such a delicate time."

That said, she was more and more convinced that something had happened to the fourth brother.

Then she couldn’t help but feel relieved.

The household was about to split up, and if the fourth brother was gone, they could split one less share.

Moreover, the fourth brother had neither a wife nor children; he only had a girl they had adopted. When it came to his pensions, the shares that belonged to Xiaobao and Jinbao could not be neglected!

With such pleasant thoughts in mind, Li Chunhua happily drifted off to sleep.

Since everyone knew the old lady was in a bad mood, the daughters-in-law voluntarily took over the cooking duties.

Li Chunhua also helped in the kitchen, thinking she could sneak some bites while the mother-in-law wasn’t around.

Unfortunately, the other sisters-in-law were keeping a close eye on her, so she didn’t get a chance to sneak any bites!

At noon, they stir-fried a pot of fragrant cured meat; even just the soup was quite appetizing.

A separate bowl of meat sat in front of Helian Qiao, while Zhao Mei and Liu Lanzhi, due to being pregnant, also got extra care with more meat in their bowls; there was no need to rush.
