Wang Qiuju also fell into deep thought: "Do you think that the flatbed truck is full of grain?"

Sun Mei analyzed:

"I think it's very likely. Look, Zhao Qiaoniang has to raise so many children now, and she needs several servants.

Ha! She even keeps slaves. I almost died of laughter. She herself is like a slave. How can she live such a good life? Does she deserve it?

The more Sun Mei spoke, the more sad she felt. When she was at home, people always said that Zhao Qiaoniang was prettier than her.

Everyone says that Zhao Qiaoniang is like a lady in distress, and now she has a group of dog slaves, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

Wang Qiuju nodded in agreement:

"Yes, yes, you think so too?

I also feel like something's wrong with her. Do you think we should take the food from her car?"

Sun Mei thought for a moment and said:

"How could we possibly win with just a few of us?

I'll think about this matter again. I can't let them have it too easy."

Old Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, Sun Mei, what are we going to do for dinner tonight?"

Sun Mei said angrily:

"What do I care about you? You're a bunch of losers. You can't even take care of the food and the flatbed truck.

And Lin Dasheng, you have a strong mouth. You insist on eating meat every day, but now you can't even eat grain."

Lin Ze shouted loudly, "I want to eat meat, Mom! I want to eat meat. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Lin Han also swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm so hungry! Do we have meat at home? They all said we have meat."

Sun Mei looked at them speechlessly:

"Where did the meat come from? If there's meat, why don't you eat it first?

You guys wait here, I'll go out and look for some food."

Sun Mei went straight to Lin Tugen, who looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Sun Mei! Your family eats up the food so quickly."

Sun Mei looked at him with a face full of grievance and said, "It's all your fault for not helping me."

Lin Tugen looked at her and felt itchy: "Sun Mei, what's that smell on your body? It's so fragrant?"

Sun Mei looked at him and said, "Huh! You're just trying to tease me. I haven't showered in ten days or half a month. How can I smell good?"

"I said you smell good, and you really smell good, Meimei. I miss you so much." Lin Tugen hugged Sun Mei directly.

Sun Mei's face was full of disgust, but when she thought of her children at home, she closed her eyes...

Lin Tugen quickly got up, looked at her affectionately and said, "I'll give you another half bag of food later!"

"Ah? Just give me half a bag of food?"

Lin Tugen looked at her and sighed, "You also know that food is difficult to come by now. I can give you half a bag, which is already good. As long as you take good care of me, why worry about not having food later?"

"Well... I want a piece of meat..." Sun Mei found it difficult to speak, but there was nothing she could do since the children at home wanted to eat meat.

Lin Tugen glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll give you some meat later, but not much."

"Tugen, you're the best." Sun Mei looked at him and kissed him directly.

Sun Mei learned all these skills in the big house. The Sun family mansion looks majestic, but in fact it is like a rotten swamp.

Behind the carved doors and windows lies endless filth.

The pure lady in people's eyes has long been lost in desire, hanging out with one man after another.

Wherever her skirt passed, it left traces of decadence, and the fragrance of her powder was mixed with an ambiguous scent.

The Sun family used these young ladies in exchange for the benefits they wanted. These young ladies had been with several old men, but they were all powerful.

The young lady she served was involved with many old men. The wrinkled hands of the marquis had left marks on her delicate skin, and the bloated body of the rich businessman had also embraced her.

In the eyes of these old men, she is just a beauty with a pretty face.

The Sun family rose from an unknown rice merchant thanks to the "dedication" of these young ladies.

The Sun family has more than twenty young ladies. Those who are a little pretty are regarded as treasures by the family and become the ladder for the family to climb up.

The elders in the family exchanged these young lives for wealth and glory, and the fate of every young lady was firmly controlled by the big hand of family interests.

In this seemingly luxurious mansion, their youth was ruthlessly crushed and they became victims of the Sun family's ambitions.

Sun Mei has been exposed to all this since she was a child, so she doesn't reject it. As long as she can survive, what does this kind of thing matter?

She wiped the marks on her body, stood up, and went home carrying half a bag of food and a small piece of meat.

There is really no food left at home, but there is still some water.

Seeing her come back, Mrs. Lin smiled: "Oh! The eldest daughter-in-law is really capable! How can you be so capable as to do this? She gets food as soon as she says she can!"

"There's still meat! Oh my! That's incredible! We really should go to Zhao Qiaoniang and let them see it."

Sun Mei glanced at her coldly and said:

"You think the lesson from the day before yesterday wasn't enough, right?

This meat is not for you, it is specially for Lin Ze and Lin Han to nourish their bodies."

Old Lady Lin swallowed her saliva and frowned, "It doesn't matter to me whether I eat meat or not. Our eldest brother is working hard now, so we should at least give him a piece of meat, right?"

Recently, Lin Dachang holds a book in his hand every day, muttering to himself, and it seems that he is really studying hard.

Sun Mei nodded and said, "I've been working really hard lately, but I'm not sure if I can pass the exam and become a scholar."

Old Lady Lin nodded quickly and said, "Our Dachang is quite talented. If he passes the exam to become a scholar, it will be amazing."

Sun Mei looked at Lin Dachang, who smiled at her calmly and said:

"Meimei, I really know I was wrong, and I'm working hard for our little family.

As long as I pass the exam and become a scholar, we can live a good life."

Sun Mei looked at him, and a trace of desire arose in her heart again. How nice is the title of "Scholar's Wife"?

Xiucai is the lowest level of honor in the imperial examination, but it is also enough to be looked up to.

Scholars enjoyed many privileges. Financially, they could be exempted from corvee labor.

In terms of social status, scholars are well-known figures in the countryside.

Ordinary people often respect scholars. Scholars can meet the county magistrate without kneeling and have a certain say in front of the county magistrate.

Moreover, scholars can be exempted from part of the land tax. In ancient times, scholars were given great preferential treatment.

Sun Mei nodded and said, "Okay, then give him some of this piece of meat."

She looked at Lin Cuicui beside her and said, "Go and cook the porridge. You can only put two handfuls of rice in it today, and cook it in front of me."

If she didn't cook in front of her, she was afraid that Lin Cuicui would do something bad. It would be terrible if she stole the food or poisoned it.

Lin Cuicui took the bowl and put two handfuls of rice in it and said, "Madam, I understand. Please wait for me."
