The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature

Hua Honeysuckle drove around the Taohuawan Brigade. The excited little sisters kept shouting, making their friends on the roadside envious.

Finally, the car stopped in front of Zhou's house. Zhou Lanxiang and Zhou Xiahe, who were sitting in the yard making matchboxes, ran out and saw the two sisters getting out of the car driven by Hua Rendong. They both felt jealous.

Zhou Xiahe asked, "Sister Erhua is here? Is this car yours?"

Hua Rendong smiled and said, "No, the car belongs to my company, I just borrowed it to drive."

Zhou Lanxiang walked around the car twice and shook her head, "It turns out it's not from Sister Erhua. I thought it was bought by Sister Erhua."

Hua Rendong smiled, "I don't have the ability to buy a car, Lanxiang sister, please work hard and try to buy a car for the family, so that I, as your cousin, can also benefit from it."

Zhou Lanxiang was choked and ran back to the courtyard with a pout. Zhou Xiahe said in a low voice, "Sister Erhua, my sister just broke off the engagement. She feels uncomfortable. Don't be like her."

Hua Rendong pretended to be confused and asked in surprise, "Didn't she say before that she didn't like the marriage? Cancelling the engagement was what she wanted, so why is she still upset?"

Zhou Xiahe sighed. She could say that the two sisters originally wanted to climb up to a higher branch with the help of Honeysuckle, but they didn't expect that they not only failed to climb up to the higher branch, but also ruined their marriage.

Originally, this marriage was proposed because the second uncle was the team leader, and the family was considered a rare good family in the surrounding villages. Although the family took Zhou Laifu's face into consideration and only said to the outside world that the marriage was cancelled because the two children had different personalities, everyone knew that it was Zhou Lanxiang's own fault, and no good family would consider Zhou Lanxiang in the future.

Even her marriage with her half-sister was difficult.

Zhang Yun scolded the two sisters a lot because of this matter, but of course he scolded Hua Rendong more. Although Hua Rendong did not express any opinion throughout the whole process, if it were not for her, her daughter would not have thought of canceling the engagement, and the man’s family would not have known about it.

Seeing that the man was going to get married after the autumn harvest, but the bride had been replaced, Zhang Yun and her daughter sighed a lot at home. However, things had developed to this point, and they couldn't be so shameless as to ask the man's family for help. Otherwise, even if they got married, they would still be looked down upon by the man's family in the future.

Hua Honeysuckle didn't know any of this and was pulled into the house by Zhou Xiaoya and Zhou Xiaoya.

There are only four sisters and the eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Xiuli, and her two sons at home.

Zhou Xiaomei from Fang Yanhong's family was still young, and she didn't want to stay at home, so she carried her child on her back to collect grass for pigs early in the morning.

When Wang Xiuli saw Hua Rendong coming in a car, she had forgotten all the previous unpleasantness and came over diligently to help her move the things out of the car.

As they were moving, he sighed, "Erhua, you're really rich. This truckload of stuff must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Hua Rendong smiled and said, "It's not much money, I just bought it for grandma and grandpa to replenish their bodies."

Originally, she thought that if she was more attentive and played the victim, Hua Honeysuckle would give her some money. But when she heard Hua Honeysuckle say that the money was for the health of Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou, Wang Xiuli didn't dare to ask for it anymore.

He put the bag of dried abalone on the kang with a wry smile, "This is a precious thing. I heard that only the landlords and wealthy families could afford to eat it in the past. Will it be a problem for us country people to eat it?"

Hua Rendong was surprised, "What are you talking about, cousin? In the old days, we were oppressed working people, but now we are in good times, we are the masters of the house, what good things can't we eat? If you say this, it will easily cause trouble, so don't say it again in the future."

Wang Xiuli slapped her mouth twice and said, "Don't say anything, it's all because of my poor mouth."

Hua Honeysuckle ignored her and concentrated on sorting the things she brought into different categories.

It was almost noon when Fang Yanhong came back carrying Zhou Xiaomei on her back. She had picked two baskets of pig grass in the morning and earned three work points. Although the work points were not many, she could earn some work points while taking care of the children, and she didn't have to stay at home to listen to the weird talk from the eldest wife. Fang Yanhong was happy to be tired.

Seeing the car parked outside the yard, Fang Yanhong guessed that Hua Honeysuckle had arrived. She quickened her pace and came in to see Hua Honeysuckle cutting meat in the outer room. The pork belly, which was 70% fat and 30% lean, looked delicious.

Hua Honeysuckle turned her head and smiled, "I was wondering when my second aunt would come back. I have cut the meat and am waiting for her to come back and cook it."

Fang Yanhong asked, "So much meat, do you want to eat braised pork?"

Hua Rendong nodded, "Yeah, I'm craving the braised pork made by my second aunt, I'm going to eat as much as I can this time when I come back."

Fang Yanhong didn't say much. She went back to the house, put Zhou Xiaomei down from her back, asked her two sisters to play with her, and went to wash her hands and come over to cook.

Two stoves, one for stewing braised pork and the other for cooking rice.

Normally, the family would eat corn grits or sorghum rice during the busy farming season. Today, the honeysuckle came, so Fang Yanhong made a big pot of millet and rice rice.

After the braised pork was done, it was served out in a large pot, leaving only about a bowl at the bottom of the pot. I then took the new potatoes that had just been harvested a few days ago and stewed a large pot.

Hua Rendong wanted to put more meat today and less potatoes. Fang Yanhong had already brought the pot of braised pork to Grandma Zhou and Grandpa Zhou's room and put a lid on it.

Fang Yanhong explained to Hua Rendong, "You don't have to eat so much meat. Erhua can go and eat by herself if she wants to. We can all eat together and just borrow some meat flavor."

In the past, Yanhong was very loose-handed. She wanted to get some meat or game from the mountains and cook a whole meal so that the whole family could have a good meal. But after what happened before, she was completely disheartened. Anyway, her two girls could not compete with the fierce and wolves in the first wife's house. In the end, they would be sarcastic by the first wife's people and say that they didn't know how to live. It would be better to leave more good things for the elderly.

Hua Rendong didn't try to persuade her much, but secretly sent a large bag of things to Fang Yanhong's room while the eldest wife wasn't paying attention.

There were milk powder, sugar cubes, and dried meat in it. Although Fang Yanhong was a good cook, it was obvious that the people from the second house were not as strong as those from the first house, especially Xiaoya and Xiaoyue. No matter how strong they were, they were young and did not have Zhou Lanxiang and Zhou Xiahe as their dogs, so they could not grab food from them during meals and inevitably fell behind in nutrition.

Fang Yanhong looked at these things and didn't let Hua Rendong take them out. She quietly put the things into the cabinet and locked it. Then she talked about what had happened at home recently.

"What? Grandpa wants to divide the family?"

Hua Rendong had thought before that Grandma Zhou might want to divide the family business, but she didn't expect that this time it was Grandpa Zhou who proposed dividing the family business, and his attitude was very firm, as if he was determined to divide the family business.

Fang Yanhong nodded, "Yes, Dad is determined to divide the family this time. In the past, his hearing was not very good and he didn't know what was going on at home. He couldn't hear Zhang Yun unless he was talking behind his back. Somehow his ears suddenly became good, but he was good at pretending and didn't tell anyone. No one at home knew about it, but he heard everything Zhang Yun said."
