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

"Xiuying, I know you don't want things to get too ugly and want to save face for the Zhao family."

"Zhao Cunliang is really going too far. I don't think he can store any grain!"

"If God has mercy, he will leave him with nothing and let his family starve to death."

That way no one will bother Xiuying.

Xiuying looked at them awkwardly and smiled. She was not that noble. She had set this trap for Zhao Cunliang. She wanted the Zhao family to get nothing.

Xiuying's smile seemed helpless and aggrieved in the eyes of several people. Her husband died and now she has to deal with such unreasonable in-laws.

"Xiuying, if he dares to do this again next time, we will go to the village chief and let him judge the matter."

"We can't have such thieves in our village.

"They are more than just thieves; they are completely devoid of conscience."

……

Zhao Cunliang and his sons returned home happily.

Tian Guilan brought the finished sweet potatoes over and said with a smile, "You're tired of being the head of the household. Come and try my cooking. I'm afraid only I can make sweet potatoes as delicious as these."

Several older children were drooling at the sight of the sweet potatoes served on the table. Tian Guilan made a plate of sweet potato cakes and boiled another one. She heard that they tasted especially good when baked, so she baked the rest. This saved effort and time, but it was mainly because she was lazy.

"smell good!"

"I've heard that these sweet potatoes are especially sweet when roasted."

The father and his sons sat down in the main hall. Zhao Dazhu was particularly satisfied when he saw the table full of sweet potatoes. He also recounted what happened in the fields today, adding some details.

"Even that selfish widow wanted to fight me, Zhao Dazhu. If it weren't for my second brother, I would have kicked them out of the village long ago."

Mother Zhao put sweet potatoes into her bowl and smiled from ear to ear: "My son is really the best. Yang Xiuying is not worthy of being my daughter-in-law. Even if she continues this marriage, I will break off with her."

That little girl has a pointed face and monkey cheeks, and it's obvious she's unlucky. Even though she's been given some land, it's because she has no sons, only those girls. We're just waiting to be wiped out."

Speaking of eating Yang Xiuying's extinct family, Zhao Cunliang's eyes lit up.

"Mom, I heard that little rascal wants to reclaim some wasteland and plant all the crops on the two hills he was given."

Mother Zhao pursed her lips and said, "That's not good. It would be better if she can cultivate both mountains. Then they will belong to my four precious grandchildren."

Guangzongyaozu Dafudaigui put sweet potatoes into the bowl while trying to please Zhao's mother.

"Grandma is really good to us, unlike Second Aunt who is reluctant to even give us sweet potatoes."

"We are so smart that we can eat these sweet potatoes. Second Aunt is just trying to steal the chicken but ends up losing the rice. Not only did we lose the sweet potatoes, but now we have to give us the drought-resistant rice."

"Second Aunt would rather help other people in the village than us. If Second Uncle were still alive, he would definitely divorce her."

"Second Aunt also doesn't know how to treat Grandma better. Being filial to Grandma is more important than anything else."

While stuffing their mouths with sweet potatoes, several people did not forget to put the remaining sweet potatoes in their bowls, fearing that they would miss out on a bite.

This sweet potato is much more delicious than black noodles. Not only does it taste good, but it also has a good texture.

Mother Zhao looked at her precious grandchildren with a loving face: "From now on, everything in the Zhao family will be yours, including the fields and forests that have been divided away. Grandma will leave them all to you. Now just think of her as your second aunt helping to take care of them."

Zhao Cunliang didn't say much, just focused on eating. He touched his mouth and said, "This sweet potato tastes really good. It's sweet, sticky, and very easy to swallow. Let's go to your second aunt's house in a few days and get some."

Tian Guilan came over with a bowl of black flour paste. "This is delicious because I made it. If I weren't a good cook, how could this sweet potato be so soft and sweet?"

Several older children immediately agreed

"Yes, my mother's craftsmanship is the best. No matter what it is, once it falls into my hands, it becomes delicious and fragrant."

"Second Aunt's sweet potatoes are definitely not as delicious as my mother's.

"Mother, come and sit down and eat."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother."

Tian Guilan's face was full of smiles. She felt that raising these sons was not in vain, as her sons still loved her.

Tian Guilan sat down with a bowl of black porridge, and saw that the three large bowls full of sweet potatoes on the table were gone.

Look at Zhao Dazhu again. Zhao's mother has four big sons, and the sweet potatoes in the bowl have piled up into a mountain.

Mother Zhao touched her mouth and gave Tian Guilan some advice: "The fried sweet potato cakes were a little too old, the roasted sweet potatoes were too hot, and the boiled ones were too mushy. Remember not to waste food next time."

Tian Guilan panted and stared at Zhao's mother, her teeth gnashing. Her son said that the food she cooked was delicious, but this old woman was not only picky, but also didn't leave a single piece for herself.

Zhao's mother noticed Tian Guilan's gaze towards her and moved the bowl closer to her arms. She looked at the basin of black flour porridge on the table and said, "Old lady's wife, you have worked hard today. This black flour porridge is a reward for you.

In this village, many families are so poor that they can't even afford black noodles. You need to learn to be content and grateful."

Why did this sound so familiar to Tian Guilan?

Isn’t this what the mother-in-law said to Xiuying!

How could Xiuying compare with me? I am the great contributor who gave birth to several sons for the Zhao family.

Zhao Cunliang glanced at his wife, and gave some from his own bowl to Tian Guilan's bowl.

"Okay, eat now. Mother is old and should eat more. Don't be like the second son's daughter-in-law who didn't know how to behave and ended up having to split up the family."

After saying that, Zhao Cunliang gave Tian Guilan a look.

A Niang still has some private money, and this silly woman cannot afford to offend A Niang just for some sweet potatoes.

Zhao Cunliang looked at his sons again

"Give some to your mother."

The sons reluctantly shared half of the sweet potatoes in their bowls.

Tian Guilan, who was given the sweet potato, finally found some comfort in her heart. It was her husband and son who cared about her.

This old man is just making trouble for himself because he hasn't died yet.

The family ate their fill and touched their bloated stomachs.

Mother Zhao glanced at her eldest son and said, "Save food. We've planted rice seedlings this year, and we still have some land. Why don't we plant sweet potatoes? They taste good, better than black flour."

I can't ask my son to bring some every time I want to eat it. It would be more convenient to grow it at home.

Zhao Cunliang was very satisfied with the meal: "I was just worried that my sister-in-law would be reluctant to plant it for our family."

Mother Zhao snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? She thinks I'm dead, right? I'll go find her tomorrow. Does she want me, her mother-in-law, to do work instead of shopping?"

……

"Mrs. Sun, Aunt Li, these are the sweet potatoes that Shi Liu dug up from the mountain a few days ago. They have sprouted now. I was wondering if we can plant them.

No one has ever seen this thing, so why don't we get the two aunts here to discuss it together?"
