The oxcart went through a bumpy journey, but the few of them had made it home safely and smoothly.
As soon as they reached home, Yun Xi secretly summoned Yun Yang to a corner and took out a fried dough stick from her bag. She gave it to him.
Yun Yang’s eyes immediately lit up as he took the fried dough stick.
Yun Xi bought the fried dough stick for him with the money she had saved from the stamp. Yun Xi took out a stamp from her space and secretly used the money Chen Li had given her to buy the fried dough stick.
Previously, she had secretly sworn that she would never let Yun Yang envy Yun Lang in this lifetime. Since she had said that, she had to do it.
Yun Yang wanted to split more than half of the fried dough stick for his sister to eat. Yun Xi rejected his good intentions and sincerely said that she really disliked eating fried dough sticks. Only then did he happily start eating.
Yun Yang was tactful enough not to ask Yun Xi where her money came from. He knew that his sister had secrets, but he did not mind if she told him or not. He would always stand by his sister’s side.
The youngest son’s family was getting more harmonious these days, yet the eldest son’s family was getting more miserable.
Yun Gang returned home in the evening as soon as the sun set. He happened to bump into Liu Fang, who was playing mahjong. Liu Fang did not look well. It seemed that she had lost a lot of money as she was unlucky today.
Yun Gang knew his wife very well as her emotions were written on her face. He knew that she had lost money again when he saw her style and expression.
“You spendthrift, you only know how to gamble and lose money every day.”
At the main entrance, Yun Gang quarreled with Liu Fang outright without being bothered about his image.
“Hubby, no...”
“How dare you talk back!”
Yun Gang directly slapped Liu Fang on the face. His voice immediately startled the other families.
“How dare you, Yun Gang. You actually hit me because of the miserly amount of money I’ve lost!”
Liu Fang covered her red, swollen face with tears in her eyes as she complained.
“I gave birth to your son anyway. How can you treat me like this?”
Given that Liu Fang had the audacity to retort, Yun Gang immediately picked up the stick near the door and was about to beat her.
Liu Fang was not stupid. Seeing that his temper was rising, she hurriedly ran into the house.
Yun Lian, who had just gone out to pour water, happened to catch sight of her adoptive parents quarreling.
Yun Gang chased after Liu Fang boldly to the door with a stick in his hand. Meanwhile, he was cursing.
“You spendthrift, I’ll beat you to death today.”
Liu Fang was so scared that she directly hid behind Yun Lian. Her body was trembling.
“Dad, calm down.”
Afraid of getting herself into trouble, Yun Lian quickly tried to persuade Yun Gang.
Yun Gang became even angrier when he saw Yun Lian.
He took the fruit that Yun Lian received from the old lady and gave it to his superior. However, he did not expect that his superior’s leader would be allergic to this kind of fruit. After the leader ate it, his whole body was covered in an itchy rash.
Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time. Otherwise, a series of allergic reactions would have put him in life-threatening danger.
Although he would be fine after being injected for a week to desensitize himself, it still caused some kind of panic among the higher-ups. It also brought financial and physical pressure to the leader. As a result, the higher-ups saw Yun Gang as a thorn in their side.
Yun Gang thought that he had caused his leader in such a state. With that, it was hopeless for him to get promoted. He could hardly endure the pressure anymore. The leader found an excuse to suspend Yun Gang immediately for inspection. He told Yun Gang to go home and wait for news for the time being.
Yun Gang guessed that he was likely to be fired this time. The only way to solve the problem was to continue giving gifts to the higher-ups while he was suspended. Only then could there be a glimmer of hope to salvage the situation.
Yun Gang vented the grievances that he had suffered due to the higher-ups on his wife and adopted daughter.
The other two families heard the screams coming from the eldest son’s family’s room, but no one went over to stop the fight. Seeing Liu Fang suffer, Ma Yan felt a little happy. Although Ma Yan’s husband did not earn much money, he would not act like Yun Gang, at least.
Ma Yan’s husband had a good temper and had never fought with his wife and child over anything.
