"You...you...you're only paying ten kilograms of rice for a day of no work? Why don't you just go and rob Lu Zhitao?"

Song Zhuxin pointed at Lu Zhitao with trembling fingers. Her voice was mixed with shock and anger, and she seemed to want to rush up and hit her.

"Rob? Why should I rob? Didn't you take it out on your own initiative? If you didn't take it out, how would we know you had food?"

A playful smile appeared on Lu Zhitao's lips, as if she had already expected Song Zhuxin to have such a reaction.

Her deep eyes seemed to hide endless pride, which made Song Zhuxin so angry that her blood rushed backwards.

Song Zhuxin looked at the burly man who was like a mountain beside Lu Zhitao, and stood beside her with his back straight to give her support.

Song Zhu was about to rush up and beat Lu Zhitao, but when he met the man's gloomy and terrifying eyes, he instantly stopped!

Only then did she realize that Lu Zhitao was no longer the weak cousin of the Huo family whom she could slap at will!

Then she looked at her cheap husband who was hunched over and needed to hold on to the table.

Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety. She knew that ten kilograms of rice was not just a simple transaction, but also an invisible game.

A secret and complex power game in this tough world of survival.

She finally shifted her gaze away from Lu Zhitao and looked towards the hazy moonlit sky. The feeling of impotence, rage and hatred in her heart became clearer and clearer.

She thought about the tens of thousands of kilograms of rice in her space and her modern knowledge. Maybe she was too impatient!

She just didn't believe that she couldn't conquer these stupid villagers. Tomorrow she would make a filter and show herself bit by bit.

Song Zhuxin forced herself to calm down gradually, "You said that I would give one person ten kilograms of rice in exchange for one day of no work?"

"Well, I mean what I say. Song Zhuxin, you wouldn't be so crazy as to replace only you and not work, right?"

Lu Zhitao's sarcastic tone and her indifferent expression were like a thorn, making Song Zhuxin feel at a loss.

Especially since everyone in the Huo family was looking at her eagerly, Song Zhuxin blurted out a promise, "How is that possible? The Huo family won't have to work anymore in the future."

There was a hint of decisiveness and firmness in her tone, as if telling everyone how kind and righteous she was.

In fact, just now, she really just wanted to take a day off from work. She wanted to abandon the old, weak, and sick people in the Huo family who were holding them back.

She just couldn't believe it. She knew she had a lot of rice, but the villagers only ate ten kilograms a day. It would be strange if the whole village didn't hate Lu Zhitao.

"Okay, then you have to hand over 100 kilograms of rice a day in exchange for the Huo family not working." Lu Zhitao's voice was low and clear.

"There are only six of us here, why do we have to hand over a hundred kilograms?" Huo Wanyu asked, jumping up and down.

"Miss Huo Si, there are a total of ten people in your Huo family, including Mrs. Huo Er and four others." Xiaoli asked, pointing at Mrs. Huo Er next to her.

"Why...why did you get out of the pigpen?" Song Zhuxin asked sharply.

"Third sister-in-law, you can use rice to exchange us out." Second sister-in-law Huo said hopefully.

"My rice didn't come from the wind. Since I gave up on you then, there's no way I can exchange you for it now."

"Yes, my third sister-in-law doesn't want to exchange you for rice." Huo Wanyu said in a firm tone.

Her third sister-in-law said she didn't want to change, and it must be because there wasn't enough rice. One less person would mean she wouldn't have to work for one more day.

She was exhausted after just one afternoon today. As the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan, she didn't want to do this tedious farm work.

"Wanyu is right. Third sister-in-law didn't offer rice in exchange for your release. You should stay in the pigpen."

Mrs. Huo whispered that she didn't dare to go see her daughter. Her son's hands were frozen purple in just one afternoon, and she couldn't bear to let her son work.

Every word spoken by the Huo family seemed to strike the fragile string in Huo Ersao's heart.

This forced her to re-evaluate her and her daughter's place in this difficult world.

Just now, for a moment, she really wanted to regret marrying Aunt Mo's 30-year-old son.

Although her family background is not worthy of the second son of the Huo family, how could a country bumpkin be worthy of her!

Looking at the ferocious faces of the Huo family, Li Ziyan felt that the country folk were the last resort for her and her daughter.

Lu Zhitao, the legitimate daughter of a Shangshu family, has already married, so why can't she, the daughter of a small official in the capital, get married with three children?

She said firmly, "We will not go back to the pigpen. I have already agreed to marry the eldest brother of the Mo family."

"What? Li Ziyan, you have agreed to remarry? Are you worthy of Erlang?" Old Madam Huo asked sadly.

"Madam, Erlang wouldn't want his daughter to starve to death, would he? He would agree with what I'm doing if he knew about it."

"..."

Hearing this, the old lady didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed, she staggered and pretended to faint.

"Second sister-in-law, how could you make mother faint from anger?" Huo Ziyuan asked angrily.

"Mr. Huo, I'm no longer your second sister-in-law. Please call me Sister Mo from now on."

Li Ziyan said calmly, "As for why the old lady fainted, you have to ask yourself!"

Huo Ziyuan looked at his old mother lying on the ground, then looked at his wife and sister who were sitting beside him and looking at him coldly.

In the end, he did not question his former sister-in-law again. He did not expect that so many things had happened since entering Mojia Village.

What he couldn't understand the most was why his gentle and kind wife refused to take out rice to save his second sister-in-law and her daughter.

There was obviously so much food in her space. He took a look at the packaging that was taken out today, and according to his initial estimate, there must be at least 20,000 kilograms!

My wife could actually do such a cruel thing. Does she want to force this loser like me to death?

Even if you really want to force him to death, there is no need to implicate his elderly mother and second sister-in-law and her daughter!

Various guesses flashed through Huo Ziyuan's mind, but he was unwilling to admit them. He hunched his back and slowly moved towards his old mother's bedside.

He knelt on the ground and called softly: "Mom, please wake up... It's all because of my useless behavior..."

"Third brother, this is not your fault. It's all because... that bitch Li Ziyan wants to remarry." Huo Wanyu pointed at Li Ziyan angrily and cursed her viciously.

She wanted to push Li Ziyan, but Aunt Mo pushed her away. "Whoever dares to hit my daughter-in-law, I will beat him first."

Huo Wanyu was pushed to the ground by Aunt Mo, and her tailbone was numb with pain. Aunt Mo was extremely strong.

Before she could get up, Aunt Mo pulled her hair and dragged her forward.

She burst into tears in pain, "Ahhhhhhh... you old woman, let me go! Let me go!"

Li Ziyan and her daughter stared at the scene in amazement, and were so moved that they burst into tears.

Seeing this scene, Li Ziyan spoke out to stop them, "Mom, please let her go and help her mother."
