After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

The Jiang family member had put down her chopsticks long ago. She had eaten up the little steamed rice, and the meat and vegetables on the table were also swept away by her.

What else can they eat, air?

Before dinner today, Jiang's father told them that this meal was for her, mainly so that she could find a job in town.

Besides, Jiang Xiaofang brought two pieces of meat with her when she returned to her parents' home this time, so it wouldn't be a loss for her to eat more.

"Are you full?" Before Jiang's father could get rid of his disgusted expression, Jiang Xiaofang who was standing beside him caught it.

Maybe she ate too much or something, but she felt like vomiting.

The sour water rose to her throat, but she suppressed it, picked up the cup, drank some water, and swallowed it all back into her stomach.

Such good food cannot be spit out.

"I'm full." Jiang Xiaofang burped again.

"Although you are marrying into the Lin family, you will always be a member of our Jiang family. Your brother and nephew are your backers."

"You know our family's situation. We don't have many acres of land. Your nephew is old enough to get married, but our family can't afford the bride price, so he hasn't found a wife yet."

"Now that Xiaodong has made it big, think about how you can talk to your sister-in-law and ask her to find a job for your elder brother or your nephew in the department store."

"It would be best if both of them could go to town to work. If they're too busy with the housework, I'll ask your mother to go look for you at the Lin family. You can come and help out during the busy farming season."

Father Jiang took it as a matter of course. His daughter was the most obedient and had no opinion of her own.

It's just greed.

But these days, no one can eat enough and everyone is greedy. But in order to get enough food, Jiang Xiaofang resorted to all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

But it was just because of her stuttering, she didn't have any bad intentions no matter how much more she did.

It's not that she is stupid, it's more that she doesn't have the brains.

Just like when he was mean to Shen Yunwan, it was all because of what Old Lady Lin did.

When Old Mrs. Lin said go east, she rushed east.

As for my selfish motives, it's just to work less and eat more, and it would be best if I could have a few taels of pocket money, that's all.

Anything more would be beyond her capacity to plan.

She suffered from the oppression of male chauvinism since childhood. She obeyed her father before marriage, her husband after marriage, and her son after having a son.

So in her mind, in her world, Lin Xiangdong is now the biggest.

Her eldest son Lin Xiangdong repeatedly warned her this morning that after returning to the Jiang family, he should keep silent whenever his grandparents mentioned Kelian Department Store or his aunt.

If you really have to say something, just say you don't know.

Jiang Xiaofang looked alert as she listened to what Jiang's father said.

Her already small brain capacity was about to be burned dry.

Why is what Dad said different from what he said before? When she got married, her family told her that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled.

Don’t go back to your parents’ home unless you have something to do, and definitely don’t go back to your parents’ home if you have something to do.

She is also obedient and usually only goes back to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, even though she knows that she will not get anything good from going back.

But if I don’t go back to my parents’ home, what’s the difference between me and that Shen Yunwan of unknown origin.

So every year she would do a lot of psychological preparation. When she returned to her parents' home, she would try to please them in various ways, hoping to gain a little attention from her family so that she could feel more confident in the Lin family.

However, everyone in Ping'an Village knew that even though Jiang Xiaofang's parents lived in a neighboring village, she only visited them once a year.

Her family members looked down on her, and ultimately, they looked down on the Lin family.

Most of the fields in Xia'an Village are fertile land, and the grain produced is much more than that in Ping'an Village.

Moreover, the Lin family has a young son who is not married yet. It is believed that if he gets married in the future, it will cost the Lin family a lot of money. The Lin family, which is not very wealthy to begin with, will have nothing left.

Not to mention that Jiang Xiaofang's eldest son is now of marriageable age, and the Lin family has not had any daughters ready to marry in recent years. Without a daughter marrying out, there is no generous betrothal gift. With this calculation, what family assets are left?

The villagers’ thoughts are so contradictory. On the one hand, they envy those who have many sons and grandchildren, and on the other hand, they want to have a daughter in exchange for a betrothal gift.

Families like the Lin family, with more boys and no girls, will also be criticized.

"What are you staring at? Did you hear what I said?

After dinner, go back and tell your sister-in-law and Xiaodong about your brother and nephew."

Jiang Xiaofang frowned and said unhappily, "Dad, you know that Shen Yunwan is no longer my sister-in-law."

"They have all cut off ties with my in-laws and started their own families. How can I say anything to them?"

Father Jiang was choked by his brainless daughter. How could he not know that Ping'an Village had cut off ties by opening an ancestral hall?!

Isn't he saying this just to make her shamelessly go find Shen Yunwan?

Although the relationship has been severed on the surface, the tendons are still connected even if the hands and feet are broken. Can blood ties be severed just like that?

Otherwise, how could a young man like Lin Xiangdong, who was only a servant in the Meng family, become the manager of a four-story shop?

It’s because Shen Yunwan is still thinking about the Lin family.

"That's just on the surface. You've been in the same family for so many years, how can you just break up like that?"

"Since you know they've set up their own business, you should also know why they acted this way. Wasn't it because I, your daughter, followed my mother-in-law in framing Shen Yunwan?"

"You! You are such a blockhead!" Who would say that to themselves? Jiang's father was so angry at Jiang Xiaofang's frankness that he was speechless.

"Don't you want to help your elder brother?" Jiang Ping, who had been silent, looked at his sister angrily.

When Jiang Xiaofang saw that everyone was looking at her with dissatisfaction, she finally reacted and asked why they were so kind to prepare so many delicious foods for her. It turned out that they were waiting here.

The Jiang family looked at Jiang Xiaofang, who was in a moody state, and wondered if she had lost her mind.

"Brother, tell me how I can help. Even if I have the brains, I won't live like a quail in my husband's house."

Jiang Xiaofang makes no secret of her status in the Lin family.

She was not very smart, so she just followed her mother-in-law who had the power over food, and occasionally she would be lazy and eat more.

Even if the mother-in-law's words are unpleasant, they are still nicer than those of her parents.

At least her mother-in-law wouldn't lock her up in the woodshed, wouldn't constantly hit her arms with her pipe until they were swollen, and wouldn't let her starve...

Although Lin Chenghai was sometimes mean to her, it was always because she had gone too far.

Thinking about it this way, life in the Lin family is much better than in the Jiang family.

"I knew you were useless. Even though you gave birth to two sons, you are still not considered respectable in the Lin family."

"I don't want to be in a good mood, so how can I eat a big meal?" If she could have food to eat by following Shen Yunwan, she would not care about being in a good mood, let alone her face.

I was thinking of going to the department store in town to have a bowl of noodle soup tomorrow, but I don’t know if Xiaodong will let me go.

"Are you just going to stand by and watch?" Jiang's mother stared at Jiang Xiaofang like an enemy.

Jiang Xiaofang lived a miserable life in the Jiang family, mainly because of Jiang's mother.

Since she was born, Jiang's mother has been extremely mean to her, so much so that everyone else in the family bullies her.

Compared to her father's occasional beatings, her mother's disgust for her made her feel more suffocated.

But even so, she still longs for the unattainable family love.

She remembered that when she was a child, she was locked up in the woodshed alone just because she ate one too many black buns.

But from morning to night she was either farming or chopping firewood in the mountains.

That night, the weather was particularly cold. The smell of cooking oil came from the kitchen. The whole family sat neatly in the living room to eat. No one remembered her who was locked in the woodshed.

Until midnight, she had a fever and the desire to survive forced her to bang on the door of the woodshed.

Her mother came over, cursing, "You little bitch, if you dare to wake your brother up, I'll beat you to death!"
