However, this time, no matter how Zhu insulted her, pinched her or twisted her flesh, she found that the bitch in front of her remained completely silent.

"You are indeed a bitch. You deserve to have your engagement cancelled." Tired of scolding, Zhu took a breath and secretly spat at Chen Jiamei.

Chen Jiamei lowered her head and said nothing. Even though she was pinched so hard by Zhu's hands that tears came out of her eyes, she did not do what Zhu said.

This scene was seen by Huang who was standing next to him. She sighed and shook her head.

It is true that a child without a mother is like a straw, especially when he has a vicious stepmother, which makes the situation even worse.

Some of the people from Caoya Village and Shangxing Village who came to help saw Li Yanxi, who was called a monster, for the first time.

"My eyes are actually different from others."

Without caring about what others thought of him, Li Yanxi strode towards the kitchen.

Looking at Li Yanxi who was no longer persistent, Xia Qingyu added from behind: "Don't eat too fast, otherwise you will have a stomachache."

"Wife, I know." The man's voice came from the kitchen, as clear and pleasant as a spring.

In the kitchen, Li Yanxi just lifted up a bowl of rice porridge and was about to drink it in one gulp, then picked up an omelet with his other hand and was about to walk out.

Before he took a step, he didn't expect to hear his wife's instructions, so he sat down slowly and ate well.

Old Mrs. Li, who was sitting in the yard, threw the beans with insects in her hand into the bean shreds, without missing her son's changes in the kitchen.

"Mom, look over there..."

Lin Lan picked up the beans after removing the tendons and put them in a bucket of water to soak. She looked up and noticed something, so she leaned over to her mother-in-law's ear to remind her.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li turned around and frowned slightly when she saw the Zhu mother and daughter whispering to each other in the corner.

Zhu is a person who always causes trouble whenever he stays here.

Thinking of her youngest son's special situation, Mrs. Li became worried and hurried out to tell the old man.

Hearing his wife's low murmur, Mr. Li, who came back to get the bucket, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his wife's eyes.

"Old woman? You've been underestimating me for so long. What are you thinking about?"

Seeing her husband, Mrs. Li looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she spoke worriedly.

"Old man, when I saw Zhu in the yard, I felt something was wrong. I couldn't calm down. I was afraid that she would cause trouble. Then Qingyu and Yanxi..."

Mrs. Li didn't say everything, but Mr. Li naturally understood her concerns.

"Old lady, don't worry about the two children. Everything will work out in the end."

To comfort his wife, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li went into the yard, carrying buckets, and went to the well to fetch water.

As they walked along the road, Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Old man, the Chen family came to help out with good intentions, but the Zhu family is a muddy mess. Don't invite them tomorrow."

When Mrs. Li thought about what happened in the yard today, she felt her temples throbbing.

"Don't worry, I'll greet the people who helped in the evening."

Listening to what her husband said, Mrs. Li nodded and couldn't help sighing.

"Hey!"

Old Mrs. Li said worriedly, "Old man, why did I give birth to a fool like Old Seven?"

Knowing that his wife was talking about their youngest son, Mr. Li became worried, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Qingyu heard that the Chen family wanted to increase the betrothal gift money, and that Old Seven disagreed and called off the engagement, so she came to us and became Old Seven's fiancée. But Old Seven didn't cherish her and ignored the child."

When Mrs. Li thought about what happened during this period, she always felt like she was dreaming.

Thinking of the recent changes in her seventh daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li became worried.

"And the child was wronged and cried secretly behind our backs without telling us."

"Hey, now the two have switched places. What should we do?"

"I have long considered that child as my future daughter-in-law. What Qingyu said this morning always makes me feel a little scared."

"Don't scare yourself." Mr. Li patted his wife's shoulder.

"We have accumulated merits in several lifetimes to meet that child. If she separates from the seventh child at that time, my son will probably go crazy."

Old Mrs. Li was extremely anxious and paced back and forth by the well. Old Mr. Li forced her to sit on the edge of the field.

"At that time, Qingyu felt guilty about what happened in the Niu family and felt sorry for us. She wanted to make it a done deal, but we both refused."
