Chapter 224: Chapter 224: The Uncle Who Wants to Take a Shortcut

The ruckus in the main room was not small, and it startled those outside. Madam Lu rushed in, only to see her husband being chased and beaten by his mother, and quickly threw herself to embrace Old Lady Zhou.

"Mother, what's the matter that we can't discuss it calmly? Are you really trying to beat my husband to death?" Madam Lu struggled to pry her mother-in-law's hand off the bamboo pillow.

Old Lady Zhou was still fuming and cursed, "Beating him to death would solve the problem and save our family from disaster."

Lady Liang, who arrived at the door, felt her heart sink at these words. What on earth had the eldest brother-in-law done to make his mother so furious?

"Mother, my husband is the eldest son, the most filial of all; how could he possibly bring disaster to the Zhou family? Please, take a moment to rest." Madam Lu, with a combination of hugging and pulling, pressed her mother-in-law down onto the kang bed.
