The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

Zhang yawned and walked lazily into the kitchen.

The eldest daughter-in-law was scooping cornmeal to make corn paste. When she saw Zhang come in, she quickly poured back the last half bowl she had scooped.

Zhang scoffed, picked up the bowl, and returned half the cornmeal from the wooden basin to the jar. She said unhappily, "My son is out there repairing the dam and doesn't even have enough to eat. You lazy bastards stay home every day and eat so much. Don't you feel guilty?"

"It wasn't me who asked him to build the dam." The eldest daughter-in-law muttered.

"What did you say?" Zhang was angry, with one hand on her waist and a cold brow.

"Mom, I just passed by Tang Dafu's house when I went to fetch water. It was very lively there. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"What kind of excitement can there be so early in the morning? Don't try to fool me."

"Really, Mom. I also heard the voices of Tang Jiang's wife and Mingxiu. I thought it was strange, so I stopped and listened for a while. Guess what?"

When Zhang heard that Wang was at Tang Dafu's house, her heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

"They sneaked into Tang Dafu's house last night and were caught by his family. Today they have to apologize in front of the whole village!"

"She really dares to go..." Zhang smacked her lips. "No, I'll go check it out. You make breakfast and don't even think about slacking off."

Zhang trotted all the way to Tang Dafu's house and met other people on the way. They rushed to the door of Tang Dafu's house together and stood at the gate to listen to the movement inside.

The gate of the courtyard opened and Li Taohua stood in front of them.

"We were passing by..."

"Aunts and sisters-in-law, you've come just in time. We're just in need of witnesses," Li Taohua said. "Could you please call some more people over?"

"What happened? Is there any misunderstanding?" Zhang didn't want Wang to expose her, so she quickly spoke well of her.

Although she did nothing, she and Wang reached a consensus on the matter of gathering information. However, she did not expect that Wang would take action before she took any action.

"There's no misunderstanding. If Auntie isn't willing to help call someone, I'll find someone else."

"I will. Send someone over right away."

Li Taohua turned around and went back.

Zhang and several other people looked at each other in confusion.

"It seems Wang has hit a wall again."

"Ming Kui-niang has suffered a loss but still hasn't learned her lesson."

Several women quickly called people over.

Everyone was serious about watching the opera. They could put their farm work aside, but if the opera was over once it was over, it would lose a lot of its fun.

It had been a long time since the villagers had stepped into Tang Dafu's house. When they came in again, they found that the place had changed a lot. Not only was it clean and tidy, but there were also many new things.

"Oh, I'm so scared." A woman saw Dahei running out and patted her frightened chest. "When did they get a dog?"

Li Taohua shouted, "Dahei..."

Dahei ran over and wagged his tail around her.

"Everyone is here. By the way, we have a dog at home. It won't bite people on its own initiative. If it bites you, you should look for the reason yourself."

"Mother Huiyin, I don't like what you're saying. What if we pass by your house and get bit by it?"

"If it doesn't go out, wouldn't it be strange if you get bitten? If it runs out and I don't actively provoke it and it bites me, it's my fault."

"Okay, I've been here for a few hours, and the dog hasn't barked at me once," said the village chief. "Just don't provoke it, it won't bite you."

The village chief received a bag of candy and ate the breakfast carefully prepared by Qin Huiyin. The balance in his heart almost tilted towards their family.

"Now let's talk about Wang and Tang Mingxiu climbing over the wall in the middle of the night," the village chief said sternly. "You and your daughter need to apologize in front of everyone and promise not to do it again."

Wang was unwilling to accept it, but if he suddenly went back on his word and suddenly had to argue for a long time, Mingxiu would not be able to blackmail their family by using the injury for a long time.

"It was my fault, mother and daughter, for climbing over the wall in the middle of the night. We will never set foot in their house again," Wang said. "I'll pay you twenty eggs this time."

"Okay. Who of you will go with her to get the eggs?" said the village chief.

"I..." Zhang volunteered.

Zhang and Wang went next door.

Tang Dafu said to Li Taohua, "Wife, is this all?"

This is not his wife's style.

Judging from his daughter-in-law's behavior, she will not give up until she makes Wang sick.

Wang's apology was so insincere that Li Taohua could easily take advantage of it.

Li Taohua knew the play wasn't over yet, but the second half wasn't about her, it was about the mother and daughter. Since they knew how to sing, there was no need for her to add to the story.

"I'm a generous person." Li Taohua said with her arms folded. "Do you think I'm petty?"

Zhang and Wang went to the next room and talked to Wang for a long time, roughly talking about what happened last night and whether she saw anything.

Wang said impatiently, "My daughter was frightened by their wild dog right after she was born. They came out when they heard the noise. What could they have seen?"

"You were caught without seeing anything?" Zhang's eyes widened.

"If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself. You saw that dog just now. It's not barking now, but it bit my daughter last night."

Zhang shuddered.

Fortunately, she did not take any risks last night, otherwise she would not only lose face, but also might be chased and bitten by a dog.

"But you were smart this time. You didn't argue with them and just apologized."

"Who said I won't argue?" Wang said angrily. "I'll apologize first, and then I'll argue with them about biting my daughter. Just wait and see. If they don't compensate me with a few taels of silver this time, I won't let it go."

Zhang: "..."

The mother and daughter climbed over someone else's wall to find out about his affairs. Now they have fallen out with each other and are trying to extort money from him. Why do I feel that Wang is going to be in big trouble?

"These things of yours have nothing to do with me. I have no involvement." Zhang quickly distanced herself from the matter.

Wang sneered, "Coward."

After Zhang and Wang came back, Wang handed the basket of eggs to Li Taohua.

Li Taohua was not polite either. She counted the eggs in front of everyone and took out a few bad eggs and said, "These are no good. Change a few."

Wang endured it and replaced the eggs with a few more to avoid any trouble.

"Your daughter hasn't apologized to us yet!" Li Taohua handed the counted eggs to Tang Dafu, who took the eggs into the kitchen, put them away, and then took out the basket.

Tang Mingxiu is at the age where she cares about her reputation. It is very embarrassing for her to admit in front of so many people that she had climbed over the wall of Tang Dafu's house, so her eyes are full of shame and anger.

"I'm...I'm sorry..." She apologized. "Is that okay?"
