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

Tian Guilan raised her lips and said loudly, "Yang Xiuying, it was you who caused this trouble in the first place, and now you have the nerve to blame your mother-in-law.

Now that you have built a big house and provided such a nice place for those two beggar kids to live in, you must have some ulterior motives towards them. So stop pretending to be a good person.

Your girls don’t even know where to live? I’m afraid there’s not even a decent bed in the house, and the outside is bare.”

She came here today to expose Yang Xiuying's hypocritical face in front of everyone. As long as she was unhappy, she would be happy.

A tender child's voice came: "Do you want to see my room? My seventh sister and I live next to Awang's room."

Little Laoliu said as he opened the door of his room.

"Aunts, come in and take a look at the room that Auntie has decorated for us sisters."

"it is good!"

The women looked at Lao Liu and smiled.

"it is good."

They felt that Xiuying would not have any ulterior motives towards the two boys as Tian Guilan said, which was why she gave Awang and Afan a nice house to live in.

They would definitely not let the seven daughters live in a worse house just because they were maids. After they separated from Xiuying, they saw with their own eyes that the seven girls' faces gradually grew plump, their skin color became more beautiful, and the clothes they wore were made of cotton. They also asked the village chief's youngest son to teach the girls to read.

Tian Guilan looked at Lao Liu, who looked like a meat ball, shook her head, saying, "What a fool!" and then followed everyone in.

Even if Xiuying feeds these girls better, clothes them better, and teaches them to read, it is all for the purpose of finding a good husband in the future, and the betrothal gifts required to find a good husband are quite high.

Yang Xiuying is playing the long game to catch a big fish, and these girls are still kept in the dark.

It was such a waste of money to build such big houses for these girls. Tian Guilan felt relieved when she thought that these houses would belong to her in the future.

"The four rooms on this side are occupied by Brother Awang, Brother Afan, me and my seventh sister. The four rooms opposite are occupied by my second, third, fourth and fifth sisters.

The four rooms in the main house are where my mother, my eldest sister, my grandparents, and my uncle Qingfeng live."

Little Laoliu introduced them to the aunts with a bright smile.

Xiuying added that a warehouse was built at the back to store rice and grain.

The first thing that catches the eye in Xiao Laoliu's room is a bead curtain. Outside the bead curtain is a desk with writing brushes, inkstones and a cigarette holder on it. Next to the desk is a chair with peony flowers carved on it.

Behind the beaded curtain was a large bed with a floral quilt and pillows, all made of fine cotton.

"This is a beautiful room. I have never seen anything like it."

The women walked into the house and looked at the furnishings and furniture inside with surprise, looking here and there and touching them.

"Isn't this the kind of house that young ladies in the city live in?"

"This bead curtain is so beautiful, sparkling like stars."

"This quilt is also beautiful. It feels fine and soft."

Xiao Laoliu looked at Tian Guilan proudly

"Isn't it beautiful? My sisters' rooms are decorated like this. Mother said that girls' rooms should be clean, nice and beautiful."

The aunts who were traveling with her said to Tian Guilan, "Look, Xiuying is not what you said. She is very kind to her daughters. If you don't fan the flames, their lives will get better and better."

"Yes, Guilan, if you envy Xiuying, you can learn from her and live your own life."

When Tian Guilan heard this, she wondered why she should follow Yang Xiuying's example and separate from the family business.

She is not that stupid. After Xiuying leaves, everything in the Zhao family will belong to her.

She said slowly: "I will never separate from my mother-in-law. If I follow her example and separate from the family, who will take care of my mother-in-law?

The girls are her daughters. If she doesn’t treat them well, who else can she treat well? I am the only one who thinks of respecting my mother-in-law.”

Tian Guilan said this but felt sad in her heart. She was the only daughter in the Tian family and had three older brothers. She had been doing dirty and tiring work at home since she was a child. Her parents only cared about her brothers and either beat or scolded her.

At home, he drank wild vegetable porridge and wore his brother's tattered clothes and old shoes. Even so, his parents still said that he was born with a good life because he had three older brothers and he never had to worry about food and clothing.

Tian Guilan looked at Xiao Laoliu's room. It was a spacious room with sparkling bead curtains, a set of desk and chair with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on them, a 1.5-meter-high bed, and a floral quilt made of fine cotton.

Look at Xiao Laoliu again. She is wearing a bright red dress with small floral patterns, two buns on her hair, flowers on her head, and even the shoes on her feet are embroidered with butterflies.

We are all girls, why do they live better than me!

Why! She refused to accept it!

However, after she married into the Zhao family and gave birth to four sons, she had someone to rely on and felt more confident in what she said.

She no longer drank wild vegetable porridge, she ate black flour buns, she no longer picked up her brothers' tattered clothes and old shoes, she wore clothes made of fine linen and shoes made of coarse linen.

If she had given birth to four girls, could she have lived the life she has now?

So the son you give birth to is better than those girls.

After Xiuying's maids get married, who can she rely on?

Do you rely on those two beggar kids?

She had already told her mother-in-law, and today her mother-in-law came to take a look. She was afraid that she could not keep those two beggar boys.

Xiuying looked at Tian Guilan quietly. Some people have to spend their whole lives to heal from the injustice they suffered in their childhood, some people find it as their own salvation when they grow up, and some people just want to impose the suffering they have suffered on people who have nothing to do with them.

After everyone finished touring Lao Liu's house, Zhao's mother looked at Tian Guilan and scolded her, "Are you envious of Xiuying's current life? Do you think an old woman like me is controlling you?

Seeing others separate and live well, do you want to separate from your family?

I tell you, if you dare to instigate the boss to split up the family, I will break your legs!"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The jokes made by the old women just now were heard by Zhao's mother.

Tian Guilan hurriedly said, "Mom, don't listen to those people's gossip. I have always been loyal to the Zhao family and I treat you as my own mother."

Tian Guilan whispered, "Mom, have you forgotten why we came here?"

Mother Zhao slapped her forehead, almost forgetting the important matter, and walked out with Tian Guilan.

……

Soon it was noon, and the three large round tables in the yard were filled with food. One table was for the men in the village, one table was for the women, and one table was for Xiuying's family.

Each dish was served in a bowl, filled to the brim: a large bowl of cabbage stewed with tofu, a large bowl of sauerkraut and pork soup, and a large bowl of scrambled eggs with cucumbers.
