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

Three old women rushed in angrily, pointed their fingers at Tian Guilan, and started cursing like a machine gun.

Second Auntie glared at him with her triangular eyes, spit flying everywhere: "You are the eldest brother's wife? Do you have any manners? You actually made the elders wait outside the door for so long!"

Third Aunt put her hands on her hips and yelled at the top of her voice, "Humph! We came in, and you don't even know how to make a cup of tea. How can this be ridiculous!"

Fourth Aunt's face was trembling with blood as she screamed, "What an uneducated person! He has no manners at all!"

Tian Guilan knew very well how powerful these three aunts were. Even though they were being scolded, she didn't dare to say anything back.

Zhao Cunliang heard the noise in the yard and walked out of the house slowly. When he saw the three aunts standing in the yard yelling at his wife, he was also stunned. He had never expected that the three aunts would come to his house.

He secretly complained in his heart, thinking to himself: Shouldn't they go to Xiuying's house? Why did they come to my place?

The second aunt glanced at Zhao Cunliang and spoke first: "Cunliang, your daughter-in-law is so ignorant of etiquette! The elders are here, but you didn't even say hello and made us wait for a long time!" She pouted, with a look of dissatisfaction and disgust.

The third aunt immediately agreed, "That's right! Cunliang, you don't even discipline your wife properly. How disgraceful!" She crossed her arms and glared at Tian Guilan fiercely.

Fourth aunt was not to be outdone, and continued in a shrill voice: "Cunliang, look at your daughter-in-law's attitude towards us elders. She just wants to beat us and won't admit defeat unless she beats us!" She shook her head as she spoke, and her arrogant look made people feel disgusted.

Zhao Cunliang first took a deep breath to calm himself down, then with a helpless look on his face, he invited his three aunts into the house.

He forced a smile, his tone revealing a hint of helplessness: "Second aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, please come inside first, and talk later."

Then, he turned his head and looked at Tian Guilan, with a hint of uneasiness and urging in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Go and make a pot of tea."

Upon hearing this, Tian Guilan hurriedly responded, lowered her head and hurried towards the kitchen, feeling aggrieved and helpless.

The three old women swaggered down and sat down in the main room. They swept their sharp eyes around and rolled their eyes when they saw the old furniture in the room.

Second Auntie curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Store your food! Look at the furnishings in your room. It's so shabby! It really brings shame to the Zhao family!"

Third Aunt frowned and continued to scold with a look of disgust on her face: "That's right, Cunliang, you are so useless. You live like this, and it makes us aunts feel heartbroken."

Fourth Aunt shook her head and said tartly, "Hmph, look at other people's homes—they're all prosperous, and yet you don't even have a decent piece of furniture!"

Zhao Cunliang was so upset by his three aunts' scolding that he could hardly lift his head. He smiled bitterly in his heart: Alas, I have lost all my face.

But on second thought, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes: It's okay, I'm so poor now, there's nothing valuable in my house, I'm sure these three greedy aunts won't be able to loot anything, so they won't move all the old furniture away.

Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved, but he still kept a flattering smile on his face, for fear of angering them again.

Tian Guilan carefully brought the tea into the main room. The three old women were thirsty from talking so much that they quickly picked up their cups and began to drink.

As soon as Second Auntie took a sip, she spat it all out with a "puff". Her eyes widened, and she shouted angrily, "Is this tea? It's too disgusting! Can this even be called tea?"

Third Aunt also spat out the tea in her mouth and shouted angrily, "Is this how you treat your elders? Not even a decent cup of tea!"

The fourth aunt put the teacup heavily on the table and said in a shrill voice: "Cunliang, you younger generations should respect your elders. What's this?" The three old women started to talk one after another and took advantage of the issue, constantly talking about respecting elders and so on.

Zhao Cunliang's face turned very ugly when facing the accusations from his three aunts. In order to temporarily calm his aunts' anger, he could only bite the bullet and scold Tian Guilan.

He gritted his teeth, glared, and raised his voice to shout, "How come you can't even make a cup of tea, bitch! What have I taught you every day? You can't even do the smallest thing, and you're embarrassing yourself in front of your aunts!"

While Zhao Cunliang was cursing, he secretly glanced at the faces of his aunts, hoping that his scolding would calm them down.

Tian Guilan heard Zhao Cunliang's indiscriminate scolding, and the grievances in her heart instantly flooded like a flood. Her eyes were red, and her voice was filled with tears. "Can this be blamed on me? This is all we have at home. What can I do?"

Seeing Zhao Cunliang still glaring at her, Tian Guilan argued a few more times, then realized it was pointless to say more and ran to the courtyard. She hurried, tears streaming down her cheeks as she muttered, "I can't live like this. You're all bullying me."

When the three aunts saw that Zhao Cunliang was about to chase after them, they quickly called out to stop him.

The second aunt held out her hand and said anxiously, "Cunliang, don't chase them. Listen to what the aunts have to say first."

Third Auntie immediately chimed in, complaining with a worried look on her face, "Store the grain! The harvest was poor this year, and we're having a hard time. As a younger generation, you can't just sit there and watch our elders suffer. It's time you showed some respect to us."

Fourth Aunt also quickly interrupted, staring intently at Zhao Cunliang, and said sharply, "That's right, you can't be so heartless. We have to rely on you to help us now."

When Zhao Cunliang heard what his three aunts said, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately frowned and said in a helpless and pleading voice, "Aunts, my family has not harvested a single grain this year. We can barely afford to eat, so how can we give you any food?"

When the three aunts heard this, they looked at each other.

Second Aunt rolled her eyes, curled her lips and said, "Hmph, no food? That's fine, just take the two old hens and two wild rabbits in the yard."

Third Aunt nodded quickly, a greedy look on her face. "Yes, forget about the lack of food. Just give us those chickens and rabbits. It will make our trip worthwhile. Aunt knows you're the most filial."

Fourth Aunt echoed this, her hands on her hips. "That's right. Storing food is the most filial duty. We won't let our aunts go back empty-handed. If we don't have food, chicken or rabbit will do."
