The work in the fields is heavy and anyone who does it will be tired. How can Zhang be allowed to do it alone?

The children were sensible and knew how to care for themselves. Zhang felt warmed in her heart and secretly thought that she must make more delicious food to subsidize the children after she was done with her busy work in the next few days.

The atmosphere was originally good, but there were those people who didn't want to see the light and came to spoil the mood.

This year, everyone in the Li family's old house went to work in the fields, and even Li Mei'e was no exception. However, one person would be left behind every day to take care of the housework and deliver meals to the people in the fields. Today was the first day of working in the fields, and Jin was the one who was left at home.

The land of the Li family's old house was not far from the land of the Zhang family. When Jin came with two baskets to deliver food, she passed by the Zhang family's land and happened to see the mother and her children eating.

Steamed bun? What's in it? Why does it smell so good? There's even an egg?!

When Jin saw clearly what was in the basket next to Zhang, her eyes widened!

"Oh, my third brother's wife's life has gotten so good now! She can even eat steamed buns and eggs when she works in the fields! We still have to eat corn cakes here!" Jin's eyes rolled and she started yelling loudly!

Li Mingxia felt annoyed when she saw Jin standing beside him. She was already tired from working and now she had to listen to her fart! She was really annoying!

"What does what we eat at home have to do with you? Did you give my family the steamed buns? Did you lay the eggs? Do you have something to do? If you have nothing to do, don't stand here and get in the way!" Li Mingxia took a bite of the steamed bun slowly and responded rudely!

This is how you should treat shameless people, otherwise she will never stop.

"I am your second aunt after all, how dare you talk to me like this?" Jin stared at Li Mingxia fiercely, and when her eyes fell on the steamed bun in her hand, she couldn't help swallowing.

"You are enjoying the delicious food and drinks here, but don't you look at us? Third sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but we are all daughters-in-law. Don't you think about our parents when you have all these delicious food and drinks? You are just eating in big mouthfuls? Aren't you afraid that it will go down your spine?" Jin knew that she couldn't win the argument with Li Mingxia, so she turned her attention to Zhang, who was the easiest to bully.

Zhang lowered her head and took a bite of the steamed bun without saying anything. Li Mingxia said "good" in her heart.

"Aunt, did you go out without your brain? We have separated, so why do you have to care about what we eat and drink? Why do I have to report to you?" Li Mingxia snorted coldly and said disdainfully.

Are you kidding me? Moral blackmail? Who would buy this?

There were many people watching the fun, but no one spoke up for Jin. Instead, they pointed and talked about something.

Not far away, Old Lady Zheng saw Jin standing there motionless and thought she was taking the opportunity to be lazy, so she started cursing without saying a word!

Jin didn't dare to delay any longer and didn't bother to say anything else. She picked up the two baskets and ran quickly towards Old Lady Zheng.

Zhang ate all the eggs and steamed buns, and never mentioned anything about the old house from beginning to end. Li Mingxia was happy and felt more energetic when working in the afternoon. The four of them worked from morning to night. When they finished work, Li Mingxia felt that he didn't even have the strength to speak. After arriving home, Zhang heated up the steamed buns, and Li Mingxia ate two of them, resisting the urge to sleep, and went to sleep.

Jin prepared dinner at the Li family's old house. There was a big pot of cabbage stewed with potatoes, a big pot of cold wild vegetables, and the staple food was still cornmeal pancakes.

Before Zhang's family was separated, how could Li Mei'e have done such work? Not to mention the work in the fields, even the work at home rarely required her to work. Now, it's all right. She has to do all the work at home and outside. After a tiring day, she comes home and eats these things!

The more Li Mei'e thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should not have separated Zhang and the others in the first place. However, she did not dare to say such words, because it was her own mother who made the decision. But now she was upset and urgently needed someone to vent her anger.

"What is this? It tastes so bad!" Li Mei'e took a bite of the cabbage and tasted it was watery and the taste of half-cooked leaves filled her mouth. She frowned and immediately spat out the cabbage, yelling loudly.

If it was something else, Jin wouldn't dare to refute it, but if she said the food was not delicious, there was really nothing she could do.

"Aunt, even if a god came here, this cabbage and potatoes stew wouldn't taste any different, right?" Jin curled her lips. The salt and lard in the house had been locked up by Old Madam Zheng, so when she cooked, there was not even any oil or water, and even no saltiness. How could it be delicious?

"You still dare to be stubborn? Try what you made yourself. How can you swallow this?" Li Mei'e never took her sisters-in-law seriously. Although she was not as vicious as Old Lady Zheng when she scolded them, she did not give Jin any face at all.

"You are just too lazy. If I let my second brother beat you up, you will behave yourself. Just listen to whatever I say and that's it. Why are you so troublesome?" Li Mei'e slammed the chopsticks on the table, venting all her unhappiness caused by work.

Li Erlang glanced at Li Mei'e, then glanced at Jin who looked unconvinced, then lowered his head and continued eating.

"Second brother, I'm not the eldest brother saying anything to you, but you can't spoil your wife. Look how angry your wife has made our younger sister. Mother will be angry soon too, and you don't say anything? Are you pretending to be dead?" Li Dalang seemed very dissatisfied with Li Erlang's way of pretending to be deaf and dumb. He swallowed the cabbage in his mouth in two or three bites and said seriously.

Li Erlang seemed not to understand what he meant. "Brother, do you want me to beat my wife? Mother, do you and my younger sister mean the same thing?"

These words could sow discord and make Li Erlang do it himself, but it was another matter to actually say them openly, not to mention that Old Master Li was still eating at the table.

"I didn't say anything. Eat, eat." Li Dalang suddenly calmed down. He laughed and picked up a piece of potato for his little daughter Li Mingxi.

"Brother!" Li Mei'e pouted and was a little angry. She didn't even look at the food on the table. It looked like she had no intention of eating.

But no one would pay attention to her if she didn't eat. Everyone was tired after a day's work, and they were not like Li Mei'e who could be lazy whenever she wanted. Anyone who dared not work hard would be skinned alive by Old Madam Zheng, especially Jin. In order to prevent her from secretly eating at home, Old Madam Zheng locked up all the edible things in the house, and the little that was left was just enough for the family's lunch. Jin had been hungry all day, so she was like a starving ghost who ate whatever she saw. Not to mention the cabbage, potato, and cornmeal pancakes without salt or oil, she would even eat them if there was a handful of dirt sprinkled on them.
