Chapter 124: The Whole Story
  So that night, the gang of hooligans took up residence at the Fang family's house.

  At first, they behaved well, but then they discovered not only a large warehouse of alcohol but also a wealth of meat and delicacies. Having not seen so much good food in a long time, the

  hooligans were immediately excited. Remembering Wang Huizheng's promise before leaving that they could eat and use whatever they wanted, they immediately started cooking and feasted.

  After three rounds of drinks, the hooligans' suppressed natures suddenly erupted. They made a scene, singing and dancing, leaving the house in disarray and destroying the trees and plants in the yard.

  Neighbors complained several times, but were also scared away by the savagery. It wasn't until Fang Qing's parents, receiving the news, rushed back overnight that the scene unfolded.

  After learning the full story, Wang Huizheng lost his initial aggressiveness and huddled in a corner, eager to find a crack to slip into.

  Seeing this, Liu Chunxia gritted her teeth and stared at her sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, I never thought you were capable of such a thing."

  Wang Huizheng's fat face twitched, and he muttered something before lowering his head. His face looked tense, but inwardly he was contemplating how to resolve the situation.

  Suddenly, the door opened, and the eldest brother of the Fang family returned. After understanding the whole story, he saw a group of people criticizing his wife and immediately became defensive.

  "Second brother, is this how you manage your wife? Even if your sister-in-law wasn't doing the right thing, you couldn't bring so many people to your house and humiliate her like this! Do you know that after you left, your sister-in-law has lost several pounds for your family? She not only has to look after Mom, but also your house. Even if she doesn't have any merit, she's worked hard, right? Is this how you treat her?"

  The eldest brother's words made everyone present nauseous.

  They couldn't understand why the Fang brothers, who had grown up together, could have such huge differences.

  One neighbor couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to offer a fair word. "Big Brother Fang, even if you're defending your wife, you should consider the situation. Do you know what she's done? How dare you say that about your second brother's family?"

  But the eldest brother ignored the accusations. He placed his hands on his hips and glanced around at everyone.

  "I don't care who you are. No matter how wrong my wife was, she meant well! It's just that her methods were wrong, but that's not your place to tell her what to do! This is our Fang family's business. You're not welcome in our house. Please leave!"

  The neighbors, fearing a fight and injuries, had come to help. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother of the Fang family was so disrespectful upon his return. Several neighbors immediately left, vowing never to have anything to do with them again.

  The eldest brother, unconcerned, slammed the door shut before turning to his second brother's family and Director Wen, who sat on the sofa.

  "Director Wen, I know you're busy, but I think this is a private matter within our Fang family. Now that I'm back, we can resolve it amongst ourselves. You can go and do whatever you need first."

  Director Wen looked across at the eldest brother of the Fang family and raised an eyebrow. Was he trying to appease him after chasing the neighbors away? But he ignored the other's words and looked instead at his good friend Fang Decai.

  Although Fang Decai was angry at his eldest brother's lack of communication, he felt that if Director Wen stayed here, he would only suffer the consequences. So, he sighed and looked at Director Wen, "Brother, since my eldest brother said so..."

  But before Fang Decai could finish his words, Liu Chunxia, who was sitting nearby, stood up. "This isn't a family matter, it's a civil dispute. Director Wen can't leave; he needs to stay as a witness."

  Liu Chunxia's words immediately infuriated the eldest brother. He had always considered his younger brother's wife to be overbearing and unreasonable, and now, as a group of men, she had the audacity to interrupt.

  "Second brother's wife, we men are talking, you women should shut up, you have no right to speak!"

  Fang Decai's original understanding of his eldest brother suddenly disappeared, "Brother, Chunxia is my wife. Our family has been messed up like this, of course she has to participate, you should watch the tone of your voice!"

  The eldest brother of the Fang family smiled, "Second brother, since you were a child, people have said that you are different from us brothers. I didn't think so before, but now it seems that you are a weak person in your bones! You are timid in front of women, and you still need women to stand up for you. It's really embarrassing for our Fang family!"

  Seeing that the two brothers of the Fang family were about to fight again, Director Wen hurriedly stopped them, "Say less! It seems that you brothers can't solve it on your own, so come with me to the police station, some things should be made clear."

  In the end, the first and second branches of the Fang family went to the police station, but there was no conclusion on how to compensate the losses of the second branch of the Fang family.

  No matter how much Director Wen tried to persuade her, the eldest wife of the Fang family steadfastly insisted she was innocent, and that it was the second wife's own bad luck, having provoked the thugs. Liu Chunxia was

  so enraged that she nearly had another heart attack. Fang's mother sighed deeply at this point. Seeing her daughter's gnashing teeth, she instantly regretted sharing these filthy stories with her.

  "I've been holding this inside of me for so long. Since you're my daughter, I'm sharing it with you. It makes me feel better. But you're the younger generation, so you can't argue with the elders. Next time you meet, just do what you should do. You absolutely can't let the conflict between the elders cause you to lose your manners."

  Fang Qing nodded. "Don't worry, Mom. I know what to do. So what's the deal with our house now?"

  Fang's mother simply shook her head and sighed. "What can we say? Your eldest aunt's family refuses to acknowledge it. We can't possibly take this to court again, can we?"

  Fang Qing fell silent. It wasn't right for a younger generation like her to meddle in matters between their parents. Then she remembered her grandmother's strange attitude during this incident.

  "Hasn't grandma always been partial to my uncle's family? Why is it that this time..."

  Fang's mother snorted, "Your great aunt, I used to admire her for her consistent care and filial piety towards the old lady for so many years. Now I understand that she was guarding the old lady just to fight for the family property."

  Before Fang Qing's grandfather passed away, as a veteran cadre of the pharmaceutical factory, Fang Qing's grandfather received a considerable pension.

  That's why great aunt Wang Huizheng has been guarding the old lady, just waiting for the day when the old lady passed away, so that the money can fall smoothly into her hands.

  But no one expected that although Old Lady Fang was very partial to the Fang family's eldest daughter-in-law on the surface, she was secretly very wary of this eldest daughter-in-law.
