"Is it delicious?" Xue Xiaozhu asked with a smile when she saw her savoring look on her face.

No one can refuse such a delicious egg custard when there is a shortage of oil and water.

Luo Xiufen stroked her hair awkwardly, wondering why she was so greedy. This was for her daughter, so why did she just open her mouth and eat it?

But the egg custard was so delicious that Luo Xiufen licked it carefully in her mouth, afraid of wasting it.

"This portion is for my elder sister." Xue Xiaozhu put the bowl in the sleeping room.

The cabinet lock was still open, so she fiddled with it a few times and locked it again.

At noon, a gong sounded in the fields, and the workers came ashore one after another. Some washed their feet in the ditch, while others went home barefoot carrying their hoes.

Xue Xiaotao, carrying a basket and a sickle, ran home in a hurry. After knowing that her younger sister had jumped into the river, she wanted to go home to see her, but her grandmother did not allow her.

Xue Xiaotao didn't dare to resist and could only endure it and wait until the gong in the field sounded.

After arriving home, Xue Xiaotao rushed into the house and did not see her mother and younger sister.

Xue Xiaozhu, who had just eaten some oily food, was squatting in the dry toilet in a very miserable state. She clenched the fresh leaves she had just picked in her hand and gritted her teeth fiercely.

She couldn't live like this anymore. After all, she was a woman with a house and a car in her previous life.

When they got here, there was not even any paper to wipe their butts, and they could only pick leaves from outside. When Xue Xiaozhu thought of this, he almost collapsed.

There was a long bamboo stick stuck inside the earthen brick, which was also used for wiping the butt. It was a choice between the bamboo stick and the leaves. Xue Xiaozhu bit his back teeth and chose the leaves.

"Xiaozhu, are you okay?" Luo Xiufen called out worriedly. She was afraid that her daughter's legs would become weak and she would fall into the toilet, so she called out from time to time.

Xue Xiaozhu came out of the bathroom with a dull expression, her legs still numb. She felt stronger, and nothing could defeat her.

"Mom, let's go home."

The mother and daughter had just returned home, and before they even entered the yard, they heard Xue Jiumei's roar. She rushed out with the keys in her hand, angrily.

"Are the eggs in the cupboard for you two to eat? Well, when I'm not at home, you steal things from the house. I'm giving you face."

"You old hen that can't lay good eggs, you shameless bitch. Why don't you just die if you're so greedy?"

When Xue Jiumei opened the cabinet, she saw that the two eggs were gone and was furious.

These are eggs for nourishing the grandchildren in the city, so they must be saved.

Xue Xiaozhu, who had just finished eating, felt that he had eaten in vain. The egg custard was like water, which just swirled around in his stomach and disappeared.

"Grandma, you must have misunderstood. How could Xiaozhu eat eggs?" Xue Xiaotao explained tremblingly. Not to mention eating eggs, even looking at eggs was a sin.

Xue Xiaozhu saw the ferocious look on the old lady's face, and the others who had just returned from the fields were all watching the fun. After all, they were not the ones being scolded.

"I eat the eggs. Why can't I eat them?"

"I feed the three chickens at home from morning till night. Has anyone of you ever helped?"

"I just ate two eggs, what are you complaining about? If I don't take good care of myself, how can I have the energy to work? Isn't that right?"

Xue Xiaozhu saw it very clearly and knew that he had to be a little tough in this family.

Besides, if you are right, you can go anywhere in the world, and if you are wrong, she can still make excuses.

"This is outrageous. It's a waste of money that no one wants. It's enough for me to give you food and drink. Now you want to eat eggs. Why don't you think about eating chicken?" Xue Jiumei really couldn't stand it anymore.

This makes sense. Eating egg custard is not as nutritious as eating chicken. Xue Xiaozhu actually nodded.

"Grandma, what you said makes sense. I'll go get a knife and kill the chicken now."

Seeing her go into the kitchen to get a knife, Xue Jiumei was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. Doesn’t this money-losing thing understand what people say?

Second aunt Liu Meifang's family, as well as younger aunt, were all shocked.

"Is Xiaozhu crazy? I can't even hear what she said in anger." Aunt Zhang Yusu opened her eyes wide. They just worked in the fields for a while, why did the situation at home change so suddenly?

Liu Meifang rolled her eyes and curled her lips. It didn't matter if she went crazy, as long as she could have a baby. It would be even better if she went crazy, then she wouldn't have to worry about it after she got married.

Luo Xiufen, who was standing by, pulled her eldest daughter into the kitchen as well, as she was afraid that her daughter would be beaten.

"You bastard, you can't even tell the difference between human words and lies." Xue Jiumei was so angry that she pounded her chest and picked up the blowpipe to hit Xue Xiaozhu.

Xue Xiaozhu dodged the blow with his agile movements and ran to the chicken coop with a knife.

Xue Jiumei, who had chased after the hen, was so furious that she watched the money-losing hen being caught. She grabbed the hen's neck and cut it with a knife. A line of blood spurted out and a few drops of blood splashed on Xue Xiaozhu's face.

"Ah, my chicken--" Xue Jiumei roared sharply.

Seeing the old lady's face turning blue with anger, Xue Xiaozhu picked up the chicken she had just killed and smiled: "Grandma, everyone at home is tired from work, so let's eat a chicken to replenish their bodies."

"If that's not enough, I can kill another one. If that doesn't work, I can kill a third one."

"Kill all three chickens, and Grandma won't have to worry about the eggs anymore."

This damn girl was demonstrating to her again. Xue Jiumei realized this. If she continued to pursue the matter, the other two old hens would suffer.

Liu Meifang was also afraid that the old lady would faint from anger, so she quickly went over to support her.

"Mom, forget it. We have guests coming this afternoon."

Don’t really hurt him, it won’t look good on a blind date. This is three hundred dollars!

Xue Jiumei took a few deep breaths and looked at Xue Xiaozhu with gloomy eyes. She had to endure it for a while. If something really went wrong, she would not be able to get the 300 yuan betrothal gift.

"Light the fire and stew the old hen." Xue Jiumei said with gritted teeth, turned around and stopped looking at Xue Xiaozhu. She didn't want to see the face of the money-loser again.

Seeing that the old lady calmed down so quickly, Xue Xiaozhu's eyes moved between Second Aunt and the old lady, and she always felt that they were hiding something from her.

Luo Xiufen held Xue Xiaozhu's hand, her lips turning pale with fear: "Xiaozhu, you scared me to death. You killed the old hen that laid eggs. What should I do now?"

Xue Xiaozhu, who had pulled them into the house, replied to Luo Xiufen: "It's nothing to do. Let's split up and not live with them anymore."

Hearing the word "divide the family", Luo Xiufen responded with a blank look in her eyes: "How to divide it? Your grandmother will definitely not agree, and your father probably won't be happy either."

The three older men in the family have all gone up the mountain. The village is organizing people to kill wild boars, and it's their turn. They have been in the mountains for a day and they probably won't be able to come down until tomorrow.

"We can't divide the family without grandma's consent, so we won't get anything anyway." As Xue Xiaozhu said this, he opened the drawer and took out the remaining egg custard.

Their family was only allocated one room. It was such a small room with two beds separated by a straw curtain. There were also broken tables and stools, some of which were missing corners and had broken legs.

The most valuable thing is probably the kettle under the table. This was the dowry that Luo Xiufen brought when she got married. The rest of the good things were all taken away by the old lady.

"Sister, eat this. We will discuss dividing the family this afternoon. As for where to live, I have a plan." Living with these people for one more day will shorten your life.
