Cheng Su resolved this small dispute and returned home, where Mother Cheng was holding Xiao Qi and feeding him. Upon seeing Cheng Su come in, she hurriedly asked, "What happened? I heard a lot of noise."

She was holding the baby and couldn’t go out; otherwise, she would have gone out to watch the commotion.

Cheng Su closed the door, then told her about Sister-in-law Song’s actions, leaving Mother Cheng dumbfounded.

"No way, did she really do that?"

Cheng Su nodded and said, "Chunhua is very angry, I don’t think their two families will ever get along!"

Mother Cheng replied, "How can they possibly get along? No one likes sneaky behavior. Even in our old hometown, back then your cousin Huatou also stole chickens from every family, making everyone hate him. Neighbors doing such things naturally never turn out well."

"Yeah!" Cheng Su was also quite disgusted.

Back when Hualing was around, though there would be some small disputes and arguments, everyone got along relatively well, and sneaky things never happened before. No one ever closed the kitchen door. But now with such incidents, it’s like a thorn in the heart, can it ever be as carefree as before?

"I think from now on, we should lock our doors when we come and go, our household belongings still a lot!" Mother Cheng voiced the thoughts in Cheng Su’s heart. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Cheng Su smiled and then sighed.

In the evening, Chunhua was upset and invited Guiying to Cheng Su’s Household to watch TV as if holding a mini meeting to unite against an outsider.

"I’m not petty, but this kind of thing makes me unease. It’s oil now, but who knows what will be stolen next. We have to be cautious." Chunhua said, "Habits are hard to change, I dare not trust her anymore!"

Guiying smiled bitterly and said, "Makes me miss Hualing now."

"Exactly. No matter how bad her temper was, she was clean-handed. None of our families ever experienced such infuriating things before. Now? Sigh, it’s like a weasel in the chicken coop!" Chunhua clenched her fists angrily.

Cheng Su burst into laughter, "What’s with your metaphor? What chicken coop?"

Chunhua chuckled awkwardly.

"Sister-in-law Song likes taking petty advantages, let’s leave it this time, and see how she behaves in the future. If she’s incorrigible, report her truthfully. But if she’s just taking small advantages, and improves later, don’t hold grudges. After all, we’re neighbors, and meeting with scowls every day is pointless. Harmony brings wealth." Cheng Su advised.

Chunhua sighed, "I know, but this feeling, it’s like a thorn in my heart, uncomfortable and irritating."

Guiying said nothing, but her expression showed she shared Chunhua’s thoughts. Who wants to live days of guarding against each other, especially with neighbors?

Unfortunately, the place they live now has shared kitchens and bathrooms, although in their rooms it’s fine, in these places they often meet.

"You’re still lucky, the division of property is done, once renovated, you’ll be living there next year!" Chunhua envied Cheng Su greatly.

The new houses have independent layouts, avoiding shared spaces and reducing conflicts.

"You guys will have your turn too!" Cheng Su comforted, "You can’t divide it now, then earn more money and save up. Buy a big house outside, living in a house you bought with your money feels great!"

"That’s the only way!"

Qi Taiguo returned from night duty, listened to Cheng Su’s words, and frowned, "How could Sister-in-law Song act like this."

"Maybe it’s a habit brought from the countryside!" Cheng Su replied.

"Song Cheng is truly dragged down by his wife!" Qi Taiguo commented, with such a woman hindering, how far can a man’s achievements go?

Cheng Su was about to speak when suddenly heard noise and shouting from next door, both exchanged glances and said no more.
