"You two bastards come here." When Wen Chen saw Dahua and Erhua coming back, she seemed to have finally found an outlet. She rolled up from the ground and went forward to vent her anger on the two little ones.

Dahua saw A-nai coming towards them and looked like she was going to hit someone. She wanted to hide but didn't dare to do so, as she was carrying a bamboo basket of grass. She just carefully blocked Erhua behind her.

There was a crisp sound, and five finger marks immediately appeared on Dahua's not-so-fair face, and the half of her face that was visibly swollen.

This time, Wen Chenshi was like a victorious cock, holding Dahua and yelling at Gu Qingqing in the south room, "Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? You really think you are a big shot. You dare to show off your strength and act wild at home. You don't know how many eyes the horse king has. And why does your little mouth look like your slut's? Have you said good things about me behind my back?"

Dahua had her mouth pinched by grandma, and tears welled up in her eyes because of the pain, but she dared not say a word.

"Stop it right there." Gu Qingqing's voice came from the house, and then she came out holding Wen Xibao.

She looked at Wen Chenshi with a smile on her face, but her words were to Wen Xibao, "Xibao, look at what your mother is doing? She will let your niece go, don't you think, Xibao!"

"You..." Wen Chen was so angry that she had to stop what she was doing.

Gu Qingqing ignored her and looked at the two little girls over there.

The little girl caught by Wen Chen was not very old, about 5-6 years old. She had two buns on her head loosely on top of her head. The loose hair and the hair draped over her shoulders blended into one, and against the backdrop of green grass, it looked more like withered yellow straw in autumn.

Her skinny body was not even as wide as the bamboo basket behind her.

There was a smaller one hiding behind her, looking at her timidly.

The last time Gu Qingqing saw such a skinny person was when he was a child in a war-torn country on a certain video app.

She clearly didn't recognize the two children, but this body had already taken a step forward, "Dahua, Erhua, come over here."

Then she saw some small flames appear in the two children's dead eyes.

Then Dahua was seen staring at Wen Chen without moving, and instead gestured to Erhua, asking her to pass behind her first.

Erhua came to Gu Qingqing and timidly called out "Mom."

"Throw the grass on the ground." Gu Qingqing said as she peeled the vegetables in Erhua's arms and threw them on the ground, and shouted again to Dahua who didn't move over there.

Dahua walked and twisted her neck to stare at Wen Chenshi. When she reached her mother's side and heard her mother say "I am here", she raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.

"Basket."

While Gu Qingqing reminded her, she reached out to help her take the bamboo basket behind her and threw it in the yard.

Zhang Cuilan looked at the third son's room in amazement, then turned to look at her mother-in-law, then looked at the third son's room again, and finally turned to look at her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, what's going on? Why does the third son's room look a little different today?"

Mrs. Wen Chen glared at Zhang Cuilan and said, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. If you can't speak, don't speak."

"Hey, Mom, what did I say?" Zhang Cuilan relied on being the eldest wife and having three sons to support her, so she always spoke without thinking.

Mrs. Wen glared at her again. She could not tell these wives what had just happened, even if she was beaten to death. Otherwise, how could she manage the household in the future?

"Why don't you go and bring Xi Bao back? What are you doing standing here like an idiot?"

Are lazy people smart? Of course they are smart, because lazy people know how to avoid being lazy.

Especially since Zhang Cuilan didn't know what happened in the afternoon, when she heard her mother-in-law asking her to hold the child, she immediately wanted to be a hands-off boss. Her mother-in-law was old and she couldn't hold Xi Bao for more than a short while. If she took the child, wouldn't she have to take care of it herself?

So she said, "Mom, didn't the third daughter-in-law take good care of Xibao? Xibao didn't cry or make a fuss."

Mrs. Wen Chen didn't dare to do anything to Gu Qingqing, but pointed at the tip of Zhang Cuilan's nose and scolded her, "I always knew that you were lazy, but I didn't expect that even a mother like me would say something unpleasant, right? Just go if I tell you to."

Zhang Cuilan stuffed the sewing basket in her hand into Sanlang's hand and muttered, "Just go, why are you pointing at my nose and scolding me? Come, Xibao, let the sister-in-law hold you."

Gu Qingqing watched all this with a smile, and said to Zhang Cuilan who was walking over, "No need, I'm fine holding you." After saying that, she did not forget to glance at Wen Chen.

"Mom, you see, I said that the third daughter-in-law loves Xibao."

Seeing her daughter still being held in the third brother's room, Mrs. Wen Chen suddenly felt dizzy, "I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore, quickly find your father and the eldest brother to come back, or I'll die."

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Erlang hurriedly reached out to support and pull Grandma.

Zhang Cuilan didn't understand why and hurried to help Wen Chenshi. She turned to Sanlang and said, "Go find your grandfather."

Watching them return to the main room, Gu Qingqing took Dahua's hand and asked them to go in first.

After entering the house, she put Wen Xibao on the kang, looked at his big face, and sighed, "Your grandma wanted to beat you, but you didn't even run away?"

Dahua lowered her head slightly and murmured softly, "I ran away and came back with no food to eat."

"If we run away, mother will be beaten." Erhua is a small person, but has very beautiful eyes, and her black pupils are very crystal clear, like a piece of black glass.

"That was when we were together, but it won't happen again in the future." Gu Qingqing said.

Dahua didn't say anything, but turned around and rummaged through Erhua's body. Then Gu Qingqing saw her take an egg the size of a ping-pong ball from Erhua.

He handed it to Gu Qingqing like offering a treasure, "Mom, today we found a pheasant's nest at the foot of the mountain. There is only this one egg in it. Mom, eat it."

Gu Qingqing took the eggs from her and put them away. Then she took out four eggs from the sewing box on the kang, "The raw one should be put aside first. These four are cooked. You can eat two each. Eat the eggs quickly."

Dahua did not take the egg from Gu Qingqing's hand. Instead, she stretched her neck and tilted her head to look at her mother's neck. Dahua was short and could not see clearly from the ground. She climbed onto the kang while asking, "Mom, what's on your neck?"
