We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?

Zhao walked to the gate and took a look. It was indeed very lively. She wondered what had happened in the village.

Looking at Li Manying's expression, he became furious. "Forget about being lazy. It's such a short distance, why don't you go over and ask? You have to stand at the door and ask, what can you get out of it?"

Li Manying took a deep breath and snorted, "I'm exhausted after a day's work. If you want to find out, go ahead!"

In the past, it was always Cheng Yue who suffered the bullying. How could she have ever been scolded like this by Zhao?

During the past few days since the separation of the family, she had been busy from morning till night, with endless housework to do and was scolded by Zhao. Li Manying finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked into the room and slammed the door shut.

This mother-in-law is always bullying the weak and fearing the strong. She just won’t go. What can she do?

Zhao had never expected Li Manying to treat her like this. She was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently. "Li Manying, you lazy bitch! How dare you turn your face away from me, you usually acted very well, but now you don't act anymore? When the boss comes back, I'll let him punish you!"

Who didn't go through this when they were daughters-in-law? She had suffered so much from her mother-in-law, and finally became a mother-in-law herself. If she didn't discipline her daughter-in-law, she would be sorry for the suffering she had endured.

Li Manying was sitting in the room with her legs crossed, eating melon seeds leisurely. She ignored Zhao's threats. Her two sons were scholars. Could Chen Ping divorce her?

Even if he had a fight with her, it would have ruined his son's reputation.

Zhao cursed in the yard for a long time but couldn't get Li Manying to move, so she had to leave angrily.

She wanted to see what happened in the village. If it was bad, she would come back secretly. If it was good, she would have a share of it.

There was a circle of people surrounding the stone mill. Whoever was grinding flour would help, and everyone was talking in harmony.

Aunt Li was talking and laughing when she turned her head and saw Zhao coming over. She immediately made a "hush" sound and winked at everyone.

The crowd that was talking loudly just now suddenly became quiet, making Zhao very embarrassed.

Was she deliberately avoiding her? A bunch of stupid peasant women, she was lucky enough not to despise them? Was she willing to talk to them?

Aunt Li and her group were grinding flour quietly and ignored Zhao.

Zhao curled her lips. She thought there was something strange going on. It was just grinding flour. How could they be so outstanding?

He raised his chin and said sarcastically, "I thought there was something good going on. You're grinding flour in secret. The wheat will be harvested soon. Normally, we can't sell this sweet potato flour, and now we can forget about it. If we grind so much, it will all go bad. How come you don't understand this?"

What a bunch of idiots they are. They don't even know this common sense and still need her to explain.

But think about it, how can these people be like her? They probably can't even eat coarse noodles. No wonder they treat sweet potato noodles as a treasure?

I'm afraid that those who plan to exchange all the wheat for silver after it's harvest will only be able to eat sweet potato noodles.

Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this. If Zhao doesn't show off his superiority every day, will maggots grow on his body or something?

Aunt Li suppressed her laughter and said loudly, "Yes, yes, Sister Zhao is right, but we are all grinding flour here peacefully, and I don't know who is sneaking around.

Could it be that Sister Zhao thought there was something good going on? She wanted to take advantage of it?"

Zhao frowned. She always felt that the way these village women looked at her were unpleasant, as if she was a fool.

He snorted coldly, "This mill belongs to the whole village. If you can come, why can't I? You're taking advantage of me. You're so poor, what's the point of taking advantage of me?"

Everyone was too lazy to pay attention to her and turned around to continue grinding flour. Instead of arguing with Zhao, they might as well grind more flour. At least they could get the money earlier.

Zhao felt bored, so she turned around and walked away. However, she didn't go far and sat under the big locust tree at the door.

She always felt that this group of people were weird, so she had to find out what was going on today.

Zhao and the others yawned continuously, and finally saw someone carrying sweet potato flour up the mountain.

On the mountain? Isn't that the mountain where my family lives? Could it be that the villagers grinding sweet potato flour has something to do with Lao Er's family?

Zhao was full of curiosity and followed them up the mountain. She wanted to see what the second brother and his family were doing behind her back.

Cheng Yue was weighing things in the yard. Scales these days were precious things. Fortunately, there was an old scale that she had used when she was a child in the space, so Cheng Yue took it out and used it.

There are several hundred kilograms of stuff, and it takes a long time to weigh them.

The first to deliver the load were from the headman's family. Mrs. Feng came with her son and daughter-in-law. They carried more than 500 kilograms of cargo together, saving them the trouble of making several trips.

"Aunt Feng, the total is 540 jin, 2 wen for 3 jin, which is 360 wen. Can you add it up and see if it's correct?"

"Yes, yes, that's right." Feng smiled. Cheng Yue weighed and calculated while they watched from the side, feeling very confident.

Besides, Cheng Yue’s father is a scholar, so he must be better at math than them.

Cheng Yue smiled, picked up four strings of money, counted out forty coins from one string, and handed it to Feng, "Aunt Feng, this string of money is one hundred coins, and this string is sixty coins, count them."

Feng took it and said carelessly: "No, no, you are a kind person, and I believe in you!"

Cheng Yue said: "Aunt Feng, you guys should just click on it. If there is any mistake, I will fix it right away."

Feng thought about it and it made sense. It would be better to order in person, otherwise she would find out when she got home and it would be difficult to explain. Wouldn't that cause a contradiction?

As soon as Zhao came up, she saw Feng and the others counting money. Then she looked at the bag of flour on the ground and immediately understood what was going on.

Especially since their family was wearing new clothes and new shoes, their faces were all brightened up. Needless to say, the money from the family division was almost spent, and they had nothing to eat, so they had to use the money to buy sweet potato noodles!

She didn't care what the second brother's family ate. What she cared about was that the copper coins actually went into the pockets of outsiders.

This second son is such an ungrateful idiot. Even when buying sweet potato noodles, he has to buy from his own family first. How can he give the money to outsiders?

But she couldn't say this out loud, so Zhao rolled her eyes and hurried down the mountain to carry up the dried sweet potatoes from her home.

It doesn't matter whose it is, she just doesn't believe that the second brother will give up hers in front of everyone.

When Aunt Li and Cui Miao were going up the mountain, they happened to see Zhao also carrying a sack of things. The sack was stiff and it was obvious that it was dried sweet potatoes.

It seems that someone told Zhao about this, but what is she doing? Cheng Yue received sweet potato noodles...

Zhao placed a sack of dried sweet potatoes in front of Cheng Yue and said with drooping eyelids:

"Second brother, second brother's wife, I'm not the one to criticize you as your mother, but why are you so ignorant? We have so many dried sweet potatoes at home, why didn't you tell me that you wanted to buy some? You just gave the money to outsiders for nothing!"
