Li Zhengde shook his head. "I'll help mom light the fire here, and I can help big sister next winter and next autumn. We don't want to go out and play."

Li Mingqiu and Li Mingdong stood together and nodded obediently.

but……

Li Mingqiu glanced at Hua who was washing vegetables with her head down and Jin who had just changed her clothes and walked in.

"Where are Li Mingyu and Li Mingxi? Since you don't want to work, call your daughter out, otherwise we won't work either."

Li Mingyu and Li Mingxi both had bound feet, which made it inconvenient for them to do work, but in fact there were quite a few girls like this in the countryside. They still had to do housework and could not be exempted from any of it. They even had to go to the fields with the children. These bound feet were just a sacrifice they made in order to get a few more taels of silver for their family when they got married.

But Li Mingxi and Li Mingyu are different. Before Li Mingxia's family was separated, they hardly had to do any work at home or outside. It was not until Li Mingxia and her family separated that these two were pulled out to start working. These days were really difficult for them, and they just hid themselves today.

"Isn't Li Mingxia capable? Then do more." Li Mingyu pouted and rubbed her feet gently, her face full of resentment.

It's all Li Mingxia's fault. Didn't they come here before? Why are they doing this all of a sudden? There are so many things going on!

Jin and Hua were stunned for a long time, and finally went back to their rooms and brought their daughters out.

"What are you doing, Mom? I finally get a chance to rest." Li Mingyu was unwilling. When he saw Li Mingxia, he acted as if he had seen an enemy.

"If you don't work, our whole family won't work either. I wonder who will be unlucky if we don't have food to eat." Li Mingxia pulled the stool that Jin had just sat on and sat down on it, completely ignoring their ugly faces.

"Li Mingxia, you!..."

Li Mingyu was about to curse when Jin covered his mouth. Li Mingyu retched because his hands were still smelly and he hadn't washed them clean.

"Mom! What are you doing!"

"Stop talking! Get to work!"

Li Mingxi didn't say anything, but just followed Hua to help wash the vegetables and change the water. Finally, Li Mingyu was taken to the corner by Jin to pick vegetables. The two of them were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.

But Li Mingxia didn't care. As long as everyone came to work, he didn't even have to think about enslaving them as before.

The task of stewing fish and meat finally fell on Li Mingxia, but Li Mingxia didn't care about this job. As long as she and her family didn't rest, no one wanted to rest. They all had to work for me!

"Zhengxue is back! Zhengxue is back!"

Li Mingxia was sprinkling his favorite coriander on the fish when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.

Li Zhengxue is back?

Speaking of which, Li Mingxia had never seen this legendary scholar from the Li family in person, but he didn't expect that he would come back today.

Li Mingxi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly put down the small towel she was using to wipe the dishes and walked quickly on her little feet.

"My son is back!" Hua couldn't hide her excitement and ran out with Li Mingxi.

"Hey? Hey! You are the only one who raised a son, right? Where are my three sons?" When Jin saw that they were the only ones left in the kitchen, she immediately stood up and yelled.

Li Mingyu rolled her eyes when she heard this. What's the use of having three sons? None of them is promising, even if you have a hundred, it's useless. Li Mingxi keeps nagging her about her brother, saying he's good here and there. He also takes out some little gadgets from time to time that she has never seen before, such as balsam, silk flowers, and cakes. She has thought about complaining, but it's no use. Hua said that those were given to her by Li Zhengxue's classmates and friends, and they were brought back to her sister. Who can say anything?

Li Mingyu has been itching with hatred for a long time!

Li Mingxia was about to finish the work in her hands, so she didn't bother to care whether they went out or not. She just waited until after dinner so that she could take her family back home. Nothing else mattered to her.

"It's done, Mom. Let's go out and get some fresh air. It's too hot here." Li Mingxia straightened up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Zhang had finished her work and nodded when she heard this, and the group left the kitchen.

The yard was so quiet that the laughter and chatter in the main room seemed even more lively.

It seems that everyone is very happy that Li Zhengxue is back. Li Mingxia even heard the concerned voice of Mrs. Zheng with a smile on her face.

This is really a case of comparing people to death and comparing goods with others.

It was very cold in the yard, so after taking a fresh air, Li Mingxia and the others returned to the main house. The sound of them opening the door attracted the attention of everyone in the house, and the sound paused for a moment.

Li Mingxia saw the eldest grandson of the Li family, Li Zhengxue, who was sitting below Mr. Li. He was wearing a long dress and a square hat on his head.

I have to say that Senior Li Zheng is quite good. With his elegant attire, he looks like a scholar.

Li Mingxi sat next to Li Zhengxue, holding a handkerchief in one hand and tightly holding Li Zhengxue's sleeve with the other hand.

"Third Aunt." Li Zhengxue stood up and greeted Zhang.

"Hey, sit down, sit down quickly." Zhang said quickly.

"Zhengxue, please sit down. You must be tired after rushing back. As I said just now, grandma loves to hear these things." Old Mrs. Zheng glanced at Zhang unhappily, as if she felt that she was wasting time.

"Okay, let's talk about it after dinner. It's already noon." Mr. Li was happy and spoke with a smile.

"It's ready to eat. It's ready." Li Mingxia pulled Zhang and the others aside and answered casually.

"Set the table! Serve the food! Eat!" Old Master Li waved his hand and said loudly.

Li Mingxia did not move. There were so many people in the room, including Jin's three sons. It was definitely not their turn to work as they had just come out of the kitchen.

"Third son's wife, what are you doing there? Not working?" When Old Mrs. Zheng saw Zhang standing there motionless, she became furious and immediately started yelling at her.

The people around hurriedly either comforted her or agreed with her, and the atmosphere was very good.

Old Mrs. Zheng was in a very good mood today, as if she had returned to the time before the family division. She could scold anyone she wanted and do whatever she wanted. The whole family revolved around her, and this feeling made her intoxicated.

"Are they all dead? My mother is the only one breathing? You blame my mother for everything. Do you guys usually not eat or what?" Li Mingxia stood in front of Zhang, sneered and said bluntly.
