I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

In order to take something to his wife's house, Ergou stole half a bag of millet from the house. Before he could send it out, it was intercepted by his mother.

"Mom, how can you frame your son like this!" Ergou argued anxiously.

"If that damn thief doesn't return the things tonight, I will go to the county government office tomorrow morning." Ji Xiaobei held back his laughter and threatened Ji Ergou.

Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Old Lady Ji cleared her throat and said, "Old Master's wife, since your family has food now, pay back the monthly allowance you owe!"

"Mom, there is no surplus food at home. You took all the millet." Lin muttered softly.

"Where are your white cakes and sausages? Take them out!" Old Mrs. Ji finally showed her true face.

Seeing that no one was moving, Old Lady Ji walked towards the kitchen.

Shitou raised his broom and blocked the old lady's way.

"Grandma, if you come into the house, I will..." Shitou's voice was trembling a little. After all, this was the first time he disobeyed his elders.

"So what?" Old Lady Ji's rude roar made Lin and her mother shrank back in fear.

"Whoever enters the house today will be beaten to death." Ji Xiaobei raised the hoe in his hand high and pretended to chop it down.

Old Mrs. Ji staggered, took two steps back, and was supported by her two sons.

Ji Sanhu, who had been silent the whole time, said dully, "Mom, let's go back!"

"Go back? What the hell are you going to do? You're going to your father-in-law's house to pick someone up, don't you want anything?" Old Mrs. Ji spitted and sprayed far away.

Sanhu didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Yes, third brother, have you forgotten the purpose of our coming here?" Ergou rolled his eyes at his third brother and cursed in his heart, "What a useless thing, being frightened by a married woman."

Ji Xiaobei looked at Ji Ergou coldly and said, "My things have been sent back to me, and I have to go to the county government to ask for an explanation. My father defended our country and sacrificed his life. My wife and children are being bullied. I want to ask the county magistrate if he can do anything about it!"

Ji Xiaobei slammed the tall hoe down on the ground with a bang, creating a deep hole.

Ergou shuddered all over, and it seemed that his niece had become stronger.

"Mom, forget it. We can just find a way to bring our wife back ourselves!" Ergou compromised.

Old Lady Ji looked back at him and smiled triumphantly: "Did you agree not to take anything from home?"

"If I don't take anything from home, I will definitely be able to bring my wife back." Ergou said firmly. If he continued to pester her, he was afraid that his niece would go to the county government to file a complaint.

Ergou and Sanhu carried Old Lady Ji away.

Ji Xiaobei slammed the door shut.

The tree root shook its numb legs and laughed from ear to ear. The stupid, big and rough Ji Xiaobei really had some skills and he took care of Old Lady Ji.

Aunt Song, who had been hiding in the west wing, came out laughing.

"Bei, you are really awesome. You have covered it with your milk! You will definitely not be bullied in your husband's house if you are like this. You can teach your sister a lesson. She has a weak temper!"

Aunt Song picked up the empty basket in the yard and walked out the door.

Aunt Song now has new topics to talk about.

These days, all the after-dinner conversations in Jijiawan are about the Lin family.

"Sister, are we really going to the county tomorrow?" Xiaoju came over and asked.

"Go, but you don't have to go!" Ji Xiaobei refused directly.

Xiaoju pouted. She went out and boasted to San Ya and the others about how great the town was. They sneered, saying it was nothing special since they had been there so many times.

San Ya said that it would be a real achievement if she had been to the county town.

I didn't expect that I would have an opportunity to improve my skills so soon, but this opportunity did not belong to me.

When Shugen left, he did not leave empty-handed. Lin gave him half a bowl of red beans, which she was reluctant to eat.

"Bei, are you really going to the county?" Lin asked.

"Let's go tomorrow. Shi Tou, come with me!" said Ji Xiaobei.

Shitou was immediately inspired, and he quickly agreed, "Okay, sister, I'll go with you!"

Ji Xiaobei glared at him and said, "Do you think I'm asking you to fight?"

Shi Tou blushed, scratched his head, and grinned.

This time, neither my sister nor my mother scolded me, it must be because of my bravery.

If grandma took another step inside, he would definitely call her with the broom.

It was all my sister’s fault for being too anxious and snatching away my chance to perform.

Thinking of this, Shitou straightened his thin chest high.

Ji Xiaobei continued, "You run with Xiaohua every day, you run twice as hard as Xiaohua!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Tou was surprised and Lin shook her head repeatedly.

"Bei, Xiaohua can run alone. Shitou doesn't need to run. He's so big, if he runs like crazy, he'll be laughed at!"

"Mom, you are just worried that they will eat too much. I will take care of the extra food they eat. The people in our family are too weak. We need to exercise more. At least we should be able to beat grandma's family."

Xiaoju, whose name was not called, lowered her head and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.

"Xiaoju..."

Xiaoju was suddenly called upon, and an awkward smile appeared on her face as she said, "Sister, I can do it, no need to run!"

"You, you really don't have to run. When I think it over, you can learn something else with me." Ji Xiaobei said, touching his chin.

Lin said quickly: "The rice is still hot in the pot. I'll go take a look. You guys can discuss first..."

Before he could finish his words, he slipped away.

Making an old woman like her run around the house is not only embarrassing, but also exhausting.

Ji Xiaobei didn't intend to let her go, and shouted behind her: "Mom, when I think it over, you and Xiaoju will practice with me!"

Lin waved her hands, pretending she didn't hear anything.

In the afternoon, Xiaoju steamed a few steamed buns and will bring them to her elder sister and Shitou tomorrow.

Every morning when Ji Xiaobei woke up, the first thing he did after opening his eyes was to connect to the refrigerator with his consciousness and open it to see if his mother had left him a note.

When she was a child, her mother was busy at the Taekwondo gym, so she would leave notes for her on the refrigerator door.

There is food in the refrigerator, heat it up yourself.

When she went to bed at night and her mother had not come home yet, she would leave a note for her mother to tell her about the fun things that happened at school that day.

Now she felt everything was so familiar, as if her mother was right beside her.

"Mom, the thieves really sent the garlic back to us..."

Ji Xiaobei lay on the kang, listening to the surprised shouts in the yard.

She sat up, opened the refrigerator door with a smile, and picked up the note inside out of habit.

"The wild vegetables are delicious and tender. I shared them with the mothers of the students in the academy. I made dumplings with pork and wild vegetable fillings for you. You can eat them after heating them up..."

Ji Xiaobei took one and put it in his mouth without even washing his hands.

"It smells so good, just like mom's!"

Xiaohua, who was standing at the door, was shocked again: Why did my elder sister say the word "mom" again?

She stood on tiptoe to see what was going on, but she was too short and the windowsill was too high, so she could not see anything.

She got angry and ran out of the yard, intending to run two more laps.

Shitou, who was panting outside, saw his little sister running out again. His legs became weak and he shouted, "Sister, stop running. Brother, I can't run anymore..."
