Li Mei'e is the youngest aunt in the Li family. Because of the love of Old Lady Zheng, she enjoys a very high status in the Li family. It is no exaggeration to say that Li Mingxia and the others are the maids who are ordered around by Li Mei'e and have to do whatever she tells them to do.

Li Mei'e obeyed everything that Old Lady Zheng said and rushed forward without waiting for her two sisters-in-law to come forward. She didn't know how many times she had done this. Even when Li Mingxia was beaten, she could only cover her mouth and cry. She had no other ability. She could vent her mother's anger by herself!

Li Mingxia seized the opportunity, dodged the hand that Li Mei'e stretched out, twisted the soft flesh of her body hard, and then stretched out his leg to trip her. From the beginning to the end, it seemed to the onlookers that Li Mei'e pounced on him with bared fangs and claws, and then he lost his balance and fell down.

"You dare to hit me!" Li Mei'e felt extremely aggrieved. The pain in the unspeakable place made her gasp for air. She burst into tears and shouted.

Without waiting for Li Mingxia to say anything, the aunties and grandmas who were watching the fun finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"We are not blind. Isn't it just that your Li Mei'e went to fight Ming Xia but didn't know how to do it and then she fell down? She is a grown-up girl and she can fight with her niece. Tsk tsk tsk."

"That's what they say. Every aunt of this age protects her nephews and nieces. Who would dare to marry someone like this?"

Li Mei'e is about to reach the age of getting married. Old Mrs. Zheng is most worried about this matter. She is afraid that the reputation of her precious old daughter will be affected. At this moment, she glanced at Jin and Hua with a fierce face. The two of them hurriedly helped Li Mei'e up, stammering and not daring to speak.

"Auntie, we are not the younger generation and we are nosy." A young wife in a floral cotton dress glanced at Zhang, with a glint of sympathy in her eyes, "We all live in the same village, and we all know what kind of people we are. Mrs. Zhang is an honest person that you can't find in the whole village. Auntie, everyone gets old one day, and who knows which cloud will bring rain?"

"Zhao Lingling, just take care of your own family affairs. You don't need to interfere in the affairs of our Li family." Jin said in a cold voice with a sullen face.

The young daughter-in-law looked her up and down, smiled, and left with her basket.

"you!"

"Mom! This little whore pinched me! It hurts so much, mom!" Li Mei'e rolled over and cried in Old Lady Zheng's arms, and the disgusted looks from the people around her were becoming more and more undisguised.

Old Madam Zheng glared at Li Mingxia and Zhang with hatred, then turned her head and raged at her two daughters-in-law, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you help your sister? You have no sense at all, are you eating for free?"

Jin and Hua half coaxed and half pulled Li Mei'e to support her. After they left, the voices of discussion around them gradually became louder.

"Sanlang's wife, you are just too kind. Even if she is the mother-in-law, she would not speak like that. Isn't that just pushing people to death?"

"That's right. Poor Sanlang's wife, how can she live with several children?"

All those present were mothers, so such words particularly resonated with people. Several warm-hearted wives and aunties immediately said that if they could help in any way, they could just ask and that they were welcome.

Li Mingxia and Zhang thanked everyone one by one before leaving with the bamboo basket on their backs.

"Mom, are you okay? Are you seriously injured?" Li Mingxia asked Zhang in a gentle voice.

Li Mingxia did not blame Zhang for being cowardly. In this era, it was normal for women to live in a humble way. How could Zhang change in just one or two days when she had been living in such an environment? She had to be given some time.

Zhang shook her head, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She pointed at the red fruits in the bamboo basket and said, "You said this was delicious last night. I saw it today and picked some for you. Take a look at what I picked. Is it the right one?"

Those red fruits are actually hawthorns. According to the original owner's memory, there were no hawthorn foods such as candied haws in this dynasty. In the eyes of the country people, hawthorns are just sour and unpalatable wild fruits. Normally, no one would pick them up. Zhang didn't quite understand why her eldest daughter suddenly wanted to eat red fruits, but it didn't matter. There were plenty of these things. As long as her daughter liked them, she could pick some for her every day.

"Yes, mother, these fruits are of great use to me. I want to exchange them for money!" Li Mingxia said to Zhang with a smile. At this time, the hawthorns had turned into copper coins. This would be her first pot of gold!

Sell ​​for money? Zhang didn't pay much attention to what Li Mingxia said. These red fruits are everywhere in the mountains. If they can really be sold for money, why doesn't anyone sell them? However, seeing Li Mingxia's enthusiastic look, Zhang didn't say anything. Her daughter is different now. She looks energetic. She doesn't want to discourage her daughter. Let her do whatever she wants.

After returning home, I thought the little ones should have finished eating, but I didn't expect that none of them had started eating. They were all waiting for Li Mingxia and Zhang to come back.

"Sister, mother! You are back! I'll go serve the meal!" Li Mingqiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately got down from the kang and went to the kitchen to serve the meal.

The porridge smelled so good. She had been waiting for her elder sister and mother to come back and was dying of greed.

None of these people had ever eaten prawns, and since they were mixed with fish meat, they all believed what Li Mingxia said about catching another fish early in the morning.

"How is this egg made? How can one egg make so many egg cakes?" Zhang looked at the smooth egg cake in front of her, and then at the four eggs neatly placed in the winnowing basket. She couldn't understand why something was so forbidden in the hands of her own sister Xia? And it tasted so good!

"It's the normal way of doing it, Mom. Do you like this porridge?" Li Mingxia remained calm and said a few perfunctory words before changing the subject.

"Oh, yummy, this porridge must be delicious with so much fish meat added!"

Although breakfast was a little late, everyone was very satisfied, especially Li Zhengde, whose stomach was bloated.

"I'm going to town in a while. You guys stay home and take good care of mom. If you go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and meet people from the Li family, just go home and don't quarrel with them. And you, you are not allowed to go fishing by yourself. Do you hear me?" Li Mingxia pulled Li Zhengde to his side and rubbed his little head hard.

"I got it, big sister. Don't worry! I will definitely protect mother and sister!" Li Zhengde promised, patting his chest.

Zhang also nodded. "Just go shopping without worrying about it. You don't have to worry about home. I'll take them to dig wild vegetables in a while. Xia Jie, if you see anything you want to eat, just buy it. Don't worry about the money."
