Meng Aiguo, Meng Zhong's eldest son, kicked the earth wall at the corner with force, looking at his parents with a bad face.
"Dad, mom, are we really going to live here? Four rooms, one of which is a kitchen, and the remaining three rooms, one is a storage room, only two rooms can be inhabited, our family has five people, second brother's family has four people, sister's family has five people, and you two elders, a total of sixteen people, how can we live in two rooms?"
They and their second son are already at the age of marriage, if it weren't for the problem of social status, they would have gotten married long ago, why wait until now?
As soon as he mentioned the family's situation, a hint of resentment flashed across Meng Aiguo's face. They were all in their thirties and forties now, and naturally couldn't forget what kind of life they had when they were young.
Looking at it now, it's like heaven and earth.
What can be done about it? If they hadn't voluntarily handed over their land and property, things might have turned out even worse.
Even so, their origin cannot be changed. Their homes were destroyed and they had nowhere to go. No one was willing to move into his sister's husband's house.
Mentioning her brother-in-law, Meng Aiguo became even more angry: "We are their relatives after all! They've come to our doorstep and can't even spare a meal, this is just too..."
"Alright, let's keep a low profile. There are neighbors around here, and it's hard to guarantee that no one will recognize us. We might be able to hide on New Year's Day, but we can't hide forever until the 15th."
"When our relatives know about our background, they don't even have the courtesy to treat us with respect. Since they are unwilling to entertain us, we shouldn't bother going either."
"We've made a big fuss about it, we don't owe them anything, and our backbone can stand up straight."
Meng Yuan (Li Sanzhu's daughter-in-law) snorted: "Dad, you're wrong to say that. We don't owe them anything, they still owe us!"

On the other side, Old Lady Li heard that her son had fallen down a hill and hurt his head while searching for food, and was rescued by the Meng family and became their daughter-in-law.
It's like knocking over a bottle of five flavors in my heart, and I can't express what I feel.
She was originally resentful of her son for not contacting him for so many years, but after hearing that he had recovered his memory, she began to feel sorry for him again.
She was in great pain for Li Sanzhu back then, and over the years she had grown to hate Li Hua and her mother even more. Now with that little girl added to the mix, she hated them so much that her teeth could be ground into powder.
Now his son has not only returned safely but also brought back a wife and child from a later marriage.
The old lady felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.
Everyone originally had opinions about her wanting to kick Little Li down the mountain, and even if someone spoke up for her, it was only because of Li Sanzhu's disappearance.
But now Li Sanzhu has returned safely, so wasn't she wrong to hate him all these years?
It's not that I regret it, but rather that I foresee a future where everyone knows the truth and will despise her even more.
Fortunately, over the years, her skin has thickened to a certain extent, and she is no longer afraid of what others say about her. But what about her son?
If this problem isn't properly explained to the son, it will be a big issue in the future. Ask him about it right away.
"Does everyone in your Mengjiawan know about your amnesia?"
Li Sanzhu scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "I know, if it weren't for me, their daughter wouldn't have been able to get married!"
As soon as she said it, she regretted it. The old lady listened very carefully and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"Speak clearly, what do you mean by 'without you', their daughter can't get married?"
Li Sanzhu is not good at speaking, even after marrying Meng Yuan, he has been working hard in the Meng family all these years.
Meng Yu had always looked down on him. If it weren't for the problem with his family background, Li Sanzhu wouldn't have become her son-in-law.
