My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Shen Yu didn't sleep all night.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I could hear Gu Mingqing's pleasant voice.

That man actually listened to all her nonsense without showing the slightest impatience.

With such a broad mind, he truly deserves to be called a dragon among men, as Long Aotian said.

She liked him more and more.

However, as a married woman, she didn't know how Gu Ming treated her.

When a person has something on their mind, they become very depressed.

For several days in a row, Shen Yu didn't say much.

Yang Fenglan continued with whatever she was doing.

Every day, I have to carry two buckets of water, cook two meals, and wash clothes, wash my hair, and take a bath from time to time.

They also had to pretend to go to the fields to check on the wheat and look for wild vegetables.

I'm too busy to think about anything else.

After Xu Yingying brought Long Aotian home, the house became even more chaotic than before.

Because Xu Yingying wasn't just carrying the bracelet; she also had her best friend's mission—to go into the mountains and find a suitable place to live.

She was even less capable of doing household chores. Old Mrs. Xu couldn't stand her laziness and started arguing with her three times a day, which escalated to five times a day.

Long Aotian, on the other hand, has been in an exceptionally excited mood these past few days.

The Xu family is much more lively than the Zhou family!

It spends all day eating melons and watching dramas, so busy that it forgets everything else.

It completely forgot about its beautiful owner.

On market day.

After dinner, the four members of the eldest son's family hid in the house and ate the pig's face that Yang Fenglan had given them.

Instinctively, one should eat three meals a day, but as time goes by, things can go wrong. If one doesn't eat, the food will end up in someone else's mouth.

The family planned to finish the meal in one sitting.

The Xu family members, who usually go back to their own rooms after dinner, suddenly went to the outhouse one after another tonight for some unknown reason.

The whole family has diarrhea.

The meal was prepared by the second wife's daughter-in-law, but Old Mrs. Xu didn't care and blamed it all on Xu Yingying.

He kicked the door angrily—but it wouldn't open.

This really frightened Xu Yingying's family.

I hurriedly put the meat away before opening the door.

Who is Old Lady Xu?

As soon as I entered, I smelled the whole house filled with the aroma of meat. Considering how slowly they lingered before opening the door, I guessed that the family was eating alone.

Upon finding the leftover pork cheek meat in the cupboard, Old Mrs. Xu opened her mouth to cry.

Xu Yingying quickly covered his mouth, saying, "Don't shout, I can share some with you."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xu stomped her feet in anger, "You shameless hussy, you won't even share the meat with your old mother, and you even threaten her."

Seeing the commotion, Long Aotian immediately crawled out and sat on the edge of the bed, swinging his legs.

Xu Yingying glared at her and said, "Can't you understand human language? I said I'd share some with you."

She made it very clear that if Grandma Xu stopped shouting, she would get some meat, which would be a win-win situation.

But Old Mrs. Xu seemed not to understand, and immediately started yelling that the eldest son's family wouldn't even share a single piece with her.

This infuriated Xu Yingying. She looked at her parents and younger brother with a stern face and said, "Let's continue eating."

The three of them were somewhat apprehensive.

If they finish all of it, wouldn't Old Lady Xu be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles?

"Eat quickly!" Xu Yingying said in an unquestionable tone.

Even if they give away the remaining meat, they won't get any credit. Old Mrs. Xu will still say that they should share their meat instead of eating it all by themselves.

Since the result is the same anyway, might as well eat it.

Mr. Xu smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Xu, "Mother, we didn't want to eat it, Yingying forced us to."

With a single glance from him, the other two pulled out steamed buns from their sleeves and devoured them in no time.

Xu Yingying was busy watching Old Madam Xu and didn't have time to eat. Xu's mother pretended to be threatened by her, wrapped a steamed bun in meat, and put it to her mouth.

The whole family enjoyed the meal immensely.

Grandma Xu wanted to call for help, but with Xu Yingying watching her, she didn't dare to shout.

It wasn't until she heard footsteps outside, wondering who was getting up to use the outhouse, that Old Mrs. Xu finally mustered the courage to speak.

"Fine, fine, your whole family has gone too far! You're hiding meat for yourselves instead of sharing it with your mother. None of you can tell who the head of this household is!"

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!"
