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

Zhao's mother would not let go of any gossip in the village, nor would she let a daughter-in-law ride on her head. When she was a daughter-in-law in her youth, she suffered more than Tian Guilan, so she must let her daughter-in-law suffer the same suffering she had suffered.

bang bang bang-

Tian Guilan, who had just laid down on the bed and was about to rest for a while, was frightened by a sudden knock on the door and fell off the bed.

Then came the scolding from Zhao's mother: "Come out here! Look at any other daughter-in-law like you. Even that little bitch Yang Xiuying is better than you. You think it's tiring to do such a small job?

I think you're itching for trouble. When Zhao Da comes back, I'll have him give you a good beating. I think you'll turn the tables if you don't get a beating."

Tian Guilan, lying on the ground, touched her buttocks which were broken into two pieces. Her eyes were red. She wiped her nose with her sleeve and stood up. After all, she was better than Yang Xiuying.

She eased her dissatisfaction with Zhao's mother.

"Mother, what are you talking about? I'm just mending the eldest child's clothes. Look at what you said, how can I not obey you?"

When she opened the door, Tian Guilan was already holding a piece of clothing.

Mother Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Go and see what those people are doing. There are only a few dozen households in our village, so it's not a big deal. I saw that everyone in the village went to the village chief's house, and each of them was carrying a large bamboo basket. The basket was full of things."

Zhao's mother stood in the yard and watched. Her eyesight was not very good and she could not see clearly. She was afraid of missing something.

Tian Guilan was holding needle and thread in her hand, sewing stitch by stitch. She would not be easily controlled. She was not a coward like Yang Xiuying. She had four sons to support her.

"Mother, you see, I'm busy right now. The master of this dress is waiting to be worn. If he asks about it later, I'll..."

Tian Guiying smiled in an embarrassed manner and smiled at Zhao's mother.

It’s nothing, she just doesn’t want to go. She doesn’t want to be bullied by her mother-in-law so easily and let her mother-in-law know that she is not a coward who gave birth to seven girls.

Mother Zhao looked at Tian Guilan and wanted to slap her. At the critical moment, she still had to rely on the people in the Zhao family. Outsiders were unreliable.

She shouted to her eldest grandson in the yard, "Guangzong, go and find out for grandma what these people are doing at the village chief's house. I hope they don't do anything bad and leave our family behind."

Guangzong, who was playing stones with a few brothers, looked up and saw the group of people walking away outside the yard. They seemed to be the group of women who came to the yard last time and said they wanted to drive him out of the village.

What are these people doing at the village chief’s house now?

"Yeah, okay, I'll go right away."

He went there not for his grandmother, but for himself, to see what these people were up to.

Seeing her eldest grandson being obedient and well-behaved, Zhao's mother finally felt relieved.

"You can always rely on your own people. An old woman like me can't get you to do anything about it."

Tian Guilan secretly laughed in her heart, wiped her hair with the embroidery needle, and said with a smile: "Mom, what are you talking about? How dare I disobey you? Don't I have work in my hands?

Don't you always say that men are the sky, men are the earth, and men are women's lives? Am I not obeying you?"

Mother Zhao was so angry that she was out of breath. She sat down on a low stool in the yard and looked at her daughter-in-law who was leaning against the wooden door.

If I were ten years younger, I would beat her to a pulp and let her know who is the boss of this family.

Guangzong ran back, yelling, "Grandma, something bad has happened! Grandma, something bad has happened!"

Mother Zhao was furious and about to scold him, but when she saw that it was her precious grandson, she couldn't hit or scold him. She suppressed her anger and said, "What are you talking about? Isn't grandma staying here well? Grandma is fine."

Guangzong was only concerned with the novelty he had heard, and said excitedly, "Grandma, Mother, Aunt Xiuying is either crazy or stupid. She actually let the villagers pick milk apples and bracken."

Mother Zhao sighed in disappointment. She had thought something good was going on in the village, but it turned out to be that little brat who was stirring up trouble and was restless even after the family division.

While sewing clothes for Boss Zhao, Tian Guilan casually asked, "She told the villagers to pick them, and they picked them? Does she think we're all fools?"

Tian Guilan expressed doubts about the information her son had found out. If Yang Xiuying had that ability, she would not have been bullied by the Zhao family for so many years.

Seeing that the two of them didn't believe what he said, Guangzong became anxious. "I really didn't lie to you. More than ten families in the village went there. Second Aunt said that she could exchange three pounds of milk fruit for one pound of rice, and two pounds of bracken for one pound of rice. Do you think Second Aunt is starving?"

"He must be starving!" Mother Zhao's eyes turned and said, "No, I have to go over and take a look. This little rascal is cheating on food and drink. Don't let him blame us for it later."

Tian Guilan curled her lips and said, "I told you that she couldn't survive leaving the Zhao family with seven girls. Look, it's only been a few days, and she's already cheating us out of food and drink, even the milk fruit and fern from the mountain.

If you ask me, Mom should not go over and wait for her. Even if you go over, will she listen to you? Or is it because she can't take out so much rice to exchange for everyone, and you want to help her?"

Zhao's mother naturally wouldn't help her. She knew better than anyone how much grain Yang Xiuying had been given after the family division. The grain that was given away was certainly not enough to last until the next harvest. As for that little bitch Yang Xiuying, she had no idea what she was thinking as a relative.

She regretted separating from the family and wanted to exchange rice for some wild fruits and vegetables for everyone. If she couldn't afford it, she would just owe it to them. In the end, the villagers went to her husband's family and asked them to help her exchange it.

Thinking of this, Zhao's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Humph, the moment that little bitch raises her butt, I know what she's up to. She's got her eyes on our food. She comes to our house every few days to extort food."

Tian Guilan, mending a hole in her pants, advised, "Even if you go, do you think Yang Xiuying will listen to you? Will those people who are greedy for petty gains not trade with Yang Xiuying?"

Mother Zhao looked at her eldest daughter-in-law who looked like she had nothing to do with the matter and said angrily, "I am her mother-in-law. How dare she disobey me?"

Tian Guilan fanned the flames and said, "Xiuying wasn't filial to you when she was home. She let the maid steal your eggs and even killed the old hen to eat all by herself. Now that she's separated from the family, how could she care less about you, her mother-in-law? I'm the only one who's devoted to the Zhao family."

Yang Xiuying, too. She just extorted three chickens this morning, and now she's causing all this trouble again. She can't have a moment's peace. If people like this don't suffer, who will?

When she couldn't produce rice in exchange, her mother-in-law would naturally not help her deal with the aftermath, and she would be driven out of the village.
