Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Osmanthus and wintersweet followed silently behind, tears welling up in their eyes.

They felt even more sad when they saw Tian Guilan and Guangzongyaozu Dafu Dagui crying exaggeratedly in front of them.

Taohua thought to herself, "Grandma favored boys over girls, and even when she passed away, she didn't even care about us granddaughters, but we still have to come and see her off."

The girls just walked silently. Although they didn't cry as loudly as others, the grief in their hearts did not diminish at all.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on this sad team, casting long shadows, and the whole village was immersed in solemnity.

After the funeral for Zhao's mother, Tian Guilan sat in the dilapidated house, looking at the roof full of holes, and started to think.

She pulled Zhao Cunliang and said flatteringly, "Boss, the roof needs to be repaired. Go talk to Xiuying and ask her to contribute some more money to fix it. After all, she paid for Mom's funeral, so she can afford to pay a little more for the roof."

Zhao Cunliang frowned and said with some embarrassment, "This isn't good. She already paid for Mother's funeral..."

Tian Guilan glared at him and said, "What's wrong with that? She's so rich, this little money is nothing to her. If you don't go, I'll go!"

As she spoke, Tian Guilan was about to go out. Zhao Cunliang quickly grabbed her and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I can go."

Zhao Cunliang went to Xiuying's house with courage and hesitantly explained his purpose.

After hearing this, Xiuying's face darkened and she said, "Uncle, I contributed money to Mom's funeral as a token of my gratitude, but repairing the roof is your family's business. I've already helped enough."

Zhao Cunliang's face flushed red, he lowered his head in shame, and couldn't say a word.

Just then, Tian Guilan rushed in from outside the yard with a few children.

As soon as she entered the house, Tian Guilan shouted at the top of her voice: "Xiuying, you can't just ignore us! If we don't repair this roof, how are we going to survive?"

Several children also started crying and the yard was in chaos for a while.

Xiuying frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, this is really not my responsibility. I have no obligation to pay for your roof repair."

When Tian Guilan heard this, she simply sat down on the ground and started to throw a tantrum: "Humph, if you don't pay today, we won't leave!"

The children also sat on the ground, crying and making a fuss.

Zhao Cunliang was embarrassed and advised, "Guilan, don't be like this. Get up quickly."

Tian Guilan didn't listen at all and continued to pester: "Xiuying, you can't just stand by and watch us die. You can't bear to watch us suffer so much?"

Xiuying was upset by her, but she still said firmly: "Sister-in-law, it's useless for you to do this again. I won't agree."

The atmosphere in the yard was extremely tense, and no one knew how this farce would end.

Just as Tian Guilan was still rolling on the ground and making a fuss, Yang's mother rushed out of the house with a broom.

Her face was brimming with rage as she shouted, "Do you have any shame in your family? Xiuying has done her utmost to help with your funeral, and you're still thinking of asking her to fix your roof! That's just wishful thinking! Get out of here now!"

As she spoke, Yang's mother swung the broom at Tian Guilan and the others.

Tian Guilan was shocked when she saw Yang's mother's posture. She quickly got up from the ground and pulled the child back.

"Oh, why are you still hitting people, old woman?" Tian Guilan was still muttering.

Mother Yang ignored her and continued to drive them away with a broom: "Go away! Don't act like a spoiled child in my house!"

The children were frightened and burst into tears. Zhao Cunliang also panicked and pulled Tian Guilan and the children out of the yard.

"You are so cruel! Let's see what happens!" Tian Guilan did not forget to make harsh remarks while running.

Mother Yang chased him to the gate of the yard and slammed it shut, muttering, "What kind of person is this? He really doesn't know what's good for him!"

Taohua's face flushed with anger as she angrily said, "My aunt is so unreasonable. She only knows how to bully people. This time she must have been making trouble again and dragged my uncle here by force."

Xiuying patted Taohua's shoulder gently and told her calmly, "Taohua, it seems that your uncle was dragged here by your aunt, but without your uncle's indulgence, your aunt wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

This is the husband singing and the wife following. If the uncle had known his limits and could have stopped it, the aunt wouldn't have pushed it so far."

Taohua frowned, nodded as if she understood, and said, "That uncle is too unreasonable. Mother, you have been wronged."

At this time, the sunlight shone into the house through the window and onto the faces of the two people, but it could not dispel the haze in their hearts.

After Yang's mother drove Tian Guilan and her family away, the children gathered around and said in unison:

"Grandma is really amazing. She chased them away in no time."

"They've gone too far. They only know how to bully me."

"Grandma, what if they come again in the future?"

Mother Yang looked at the children and said firmly, "Grandma is here, so don't try to cause trouble again!"

The children clapped and cheered: "Grandma is the best!"

When Xiuying saw this scene, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she was filled with gratitude towards Yang's mother and the children.

Although Xiuying's family lost two chickens and a duck due to the hail, life has to go on.

Xiuying decided to make a delicious meal with the two chickens and a duck.

Shi Liu helped light the fire while the other children watched curiously. Xiuying handled the ingredients skillfully, chopping and preparing them in an orderly manner, with Taohua helping her.

The kitchen was filled with mouth-watering aromas. Soon, delicious dishes were served one after another: fragrant braised chicken, delicious duck soup, and golden scrambled eggs.

The family sat around the table, and the children stared at the delicious food on the table with excitement, their eyes shining.

Xiuying smiled and said, "Although we suffered from the hailstorm, it is a comfort to be able to eat such a delicious meal."

Mother Yang nodded and said, "Yes, as long as our family is together, there is no difficulty that we can't overcome."

Father Yang sighed and said, "No matter what happens, our greatest fortune is that our family is together."

Everyone picked up their chopsticks and happily savored this special meal, and the room was filled with laughter.

Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan returned to the still messy ruins in a panic, with sad faces.

Tian Guilan looked at the dilapidated roof, frowning, and couldn't help complaining, "What should I do? Where can I find the money to renovate the roof?"

Zhao Cunliang squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and sighed, "I don't know either. I've borrowed everything I could."

Tian Guilan kicked the broken tiles on the ground and said angrily, "It's all this damn hail that's ruined our house."
