Chapter 1265 She's sick, not dead.
Shuangxi nodded repeatedly.

The child's crying inside the house was disturbing her peace of mind.

Shuangxi was also a bit confused; how had things turned out this way? Completely bewildered, she could only repeatedly tell her father-in-law:
"Dad, Sixth Brother and Sister-in-law don't owe our family anything. The fact that they're willing to speak up for us is the greatest favor they can do. We can't think of them that way!"

Otherwise, what kind of people would they have become?
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I'm on the right track!"

Shuangxi nodded and then let go.

In the short time they were chatting, Granny Yang had already run far away.

"Old woman! Old woman... Yang... Hu... Yang Zhaodi, you come back here right now!"

Ma Hongguo was panting heavily as he chased after him, shouting as he went.

The commotion startled the villagers who had returned from the fields at noon to cook.

Many people peeked out of their homes to take a look.

"What's wrong? Why are Old Ma and his wife in such a hurry? What happened?"

"I do not know!"

"Judging from the direction they're heading, it seems they're going towards the Fu family's place at the threshing ground to the east. I bet they're going there to ask for help regarding yesterday's matter! Let's go take a look!"

"Hey! Wait for me, I'm coming too!"

People who love gossip put down their spatulas, hoes, and vegetable wash basins, and went in twos and threes to watch the excitement at the Fu family's house.

"My God, my son! You can't do things like this! You're driving our whole family to the brink of ruin!"

"My poor son! There's no one to carry on the family line. If you have a tubal ligation and another child comes into your belly, what will you do for the rest of your life? My poor son!"

Ma Hongguo is getting on in years.

Panting, they chased after her all the way to the Fu family's house. There, Granny Yang was already sitting under the jujube tree in front of the Fu family's house, howling.

However, Granny Yang still had some idea of ​​what was going on.

Unlike when she ran away from home to demand an explanation from the Fu family, she just sat in front of the door and kept crying pitifully.

Ma Hongguo looked embarrassed and awkward, and stepped forward to pull at Granny Yang, saying:

"What are you doing here, acting crazy? Get back here right now! If you keep causing trouble, your kids won't be able to hold their heads up in the village!"

Even if they handled this poorly, with so many villagers watching, just wailing like that would be shameful!
Ma Hongguo was so ashamed that he didn't dare look around. He just kept pulling at Granny Yang, trying to drag her home.

Granny Yang would never agree to that.

He pushed with one hand and hugged the Fu family's jujube tree with the other, resisting with all his might.

The scene was comical, and some of the onlookers couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ma Hongguo's hunchback became even more severe:

"Come back with me, come back!"

"I don't, I don't!"

As they were struggling, a boy darted out of the Fu family's gate and ran headlong towards the village.

Turning his head and seeing the keen eyes of the He family, Ma Hongguo immediately understood what was going on.

He released his grip on Granny Yang's hand and looked towards the Fu family's gate with a hint of panic.

I didn't see Lu Miao, but I did see Tian Guihua come out of the door.

"His second sister-in-law..."

Ma Hongguo put on a smiling face, as if he wanted to say something, but Tian Guihua interrupted them:
"Uncle, Aunt, what are you doing? My sister-in-law is seriously ill. She came back from the city yesterday and hasn't rested much since. I spent the whole night thinking about how to resolve this matter with your family. What's wrong? Now the child can stay, and the family doesn't have to pay the grain tax. Aren't you satisfied with this result?"

"No, no, no, it's not..."

"What does that mean? Why are you crying here?"

This question left Ma Hongguo speechless.

The onlookers whispered among themselves.

After listening to Granny Yang's wailing and now hearing Tian Guihua's words, everyone finally understood what was going on.

"Oh dear! How can you be so greedy? Other families aren't allowed to have children, but your family can, and you don't even have to pay fines or grain rations. You're still not satisfied? What else do you want?"

"That's it!"

A larger population not only means a thriving family, but also means more labor force in the household.

Several families in the village were in a similar situation to the Ma family.

Now that they've heard about the Ma family's situation, those families are filled with envy and jealousy. Unable to show it openly, they've joined the crowd and spat at the elderly Ma couple.

"You've already saved the baby. If she can't give birth, it's your daughter-in-law's fault. What does it have to do with them? You're getting the benefit and you're still acting innocent. Shameless! Bah!"

"Are you bullying Xiao Liu's wife because she doesn't have her in-laws to back her up? If you're so capable, why don't you go find the head of the inspection team!"

"That's it!"

The crowd was noisy, when suddenly someone spoke up:

"Why doesn't Xiao Liu's wife have her parents-in-law? Aren't the team leader and Sister-in-law Gui Fen?"

"Yeah!"

"What's all the noise about? What's all the noise about!"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

We had just started talking about He Hongjin and Chen Guifen when they arrived.

When Granny Yang first arrived at the Fu family's gate, Tian Guihua saw that she was acting unreasonably and throwing a tantrum, so she asked Minrui to go to the He family to call for help.

As soon as Fu Jingyou heard that there was trouble at home, he rushed back in two steps.

Lu Miao was still sick, and He Hongjin and Chen Guifen were afraid something might happen, so they quickly followed behind.

Li Dachui was only halfway through discussing the notarization of the birth policy, and he hadn't even left yet.

Hearing that it was the Ma family who went to the Fu family to cause trouble and argue, Li Dachui glanced at Ma Jianshe, who looked completely bewildered.

The two of them followed behind towards the Fu family's residence.

At the entrance of the Fu family's house, as Li Dachui and He Hongjin were trying to get justice and ask what had happened, Fu Jingyou had already entered the house.

Knowing he was worried, Tian Guihua told him that the person was in the backyard and then went to the backyard with Fu Jingyou.

At that time, Minrui was sent to the He family, while Minjie was left in the backyard.

Tian Guihua had instructed Minjie beforehand that if anyone tried to force their way into the house, Minjie should block the door from behind.

He prevented those people from coming close to disturb Lu Miao.

Minjie peeked around in the kitchen, tense for most of the day.

Seeing his uncle and mother come in together, Minjie immediately relaxed:

"Uncle! Mother!"

Fu Jingyou nodded slightly, stepped out of the kitchen back door, and found Lu Miao reclining on a deck chair reading a book in the shade:
"Miaomiao!"

Lu Miao closed the book, propped herself up to sit up, and smiled softly at him:

"Did you get scared again in such a short time?"

indeed.

Just now at the He family's house, Fu Jingyou's heart was pounding in his chest.

She was as fragile as paper; a slight touch would tear her apart.

Fu Jingyou was worried about what might happen to her.

Fortunately, no...

Fu Jingyou breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down in front of her.

When we looked at each other at eye level, I held her slightly cool hand tenderly and said:

"Don't worry about such trivial matters; your health is the most important thing."

"Ah."

Lu Miao smiled faintly and nodded gently.

If we let it go, her emotions might fluctuate.

But it's different now.

She chose to help Shuangxi, not the Ma family.

What the Ma family thinks is irrelevant to her.

As for Granny Yang?
Granny Yang was short-sighted and one of the most unreasonable and argumentative people in the village.

There's no point in arguing with her forever, otherwise Lu Miao would have already started cursing.

She's sick, not dead; she still has the strength to say a few words.
