The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

Upon hearing this, the eldest daughter chimed in, "Sister, you are the most beautiful dumpling maker in the whole world, and you are also the most powerful person in the world. Not only can you make such beautiful dumplings, but you can also fight bad guys. You are our hero."

Tong Qian was speechless with delight by these three girls. Each of them had a sweet tongue, and seeing them so happy made Tong Qian feel incredibly gratified.

As Ling'er watched the girls, she was busy making dumpling wrappers while looking at the children with doting eyes.

However, upon seeing what these little girls had said, she pretended to be angry and said, "You kids only know how to praise others. Do you think I did something wrong? I'm getting a little angry now."

"You are definitely the best."

"Yes, what I meant was that besides you, you are the best in the world, and then there's this young lady. You two are our heroes."

"Yes, you are all our heroes."

The eldest and second eldest daughters started echoing each other, and then the third eldest daughter chimed in, "You misunderstood us just now. We said that Sister Qian'er is very amazing, we didn't mean that you're not amazing at all, and you are the most amazing person in the world."

Upon hearing this, Ling'er almost burst into laughter, "You three sycophants, where did you learn all this flattery from!"

The three girls burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The second wife was very happy in the courtyard, and their cheerful laughter made the people in the first wife's family feel even more annoyed.

Both of their families have already experienced such major events, almost ruining their entire fortunes, but the second wife seems to be living a very carefree life.

Why is this happening?

Why is it that even though they are the same family, they can't achieve the same results?

The eldest wife was getting more and more anxious. When would God finally give in to their torment and let their lives finally become a little more stable?

The children in the other houses looked on with envy as they saw the three girls in the second house happily making dumplings.

But they could only watch from afar inside the house, unable to go up to it, so they could only look on with envy.

Although they also wanted to eat dumplings and make dumplings with their mothers, they felt that such a day was too far away and simply not practical for them.

The two children stood in front of their window, watching the three people happily making dumplings. Because they hadn't eaten breakfast, seeing that food made them even hungrier.

"Dad, what should we eat for lunch?" the third son asked his father.

Something happened at home just now. The man was afraid that he would be implicated, so he quickly made an excuse to go out. He told the children to hide inside the house and not to go out. He only dared to come back when he saw that there was no more noise.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home, the two children started asking about lunch again, which annoyed the man.

"Shouldn't you ask your mother about these things? How would I know about these things? I'm not the one who cooks at home."

You're all hungry now, but I'm still hungry. You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

Upon hearing this, the man rubbed his sunken belly in displeasure. "Well, that's great," he thought. "Other women cook for their husbands, but now I have to cook for other women."

My own wife is now stuck in bed, barely able to lift a bowl, and I'm expecting her to cook? In the end, she'll be doing absolutely nothing.

If it weren't for the fact that he still needed to eat, and there was really no other way, he, a grown man, would never have taken the initiative to cook.

Of course, at the beginning, he didn't know anything in the kitchen, and his wife taught him these things herself.

But in the end, he was still a grown man. Even if his wife taught him, all he could manage was to steam rice properly. He was completely incapable of cooking. Moreover, a grown man had already done enough work in the fields, and he simply couldn't handle the delicate work of cooking. So, he could barely swallow any of his meals, but he forced himself to eat them all.

In the end, he was no good at all; all he could do was fill his stomach.

Seeing that his wife had been lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) for several days, he wondered when she would be able to get out of bed and cook something, but she had no such intention at all.

Does he expect a grown man to serve him for months? What was the point of marrying such a woman then? He's not willing to do that.

I've been putting up with this for almost half a month, but I finally couldn't take it anymore, so I had my two children start calling on the woman to cook.

He simply couldn't believe that his two children could stay in bed and not move at all while their mother was begging for food!

The two children were terrified of their mother. Seeing her impatient look, they didn't dare ask for food.

The two children were completely helpless. Neither of them wanted to cook, so they could only rub their bellies and walk towards Tong Qian and the others.

There was simply no other way; they were hungry and had to eat, and they hadn't had a proper meal in so many days, let alone be able to eat dumplings during the Spring Festival.

Because of the noises coming from inside the house, they could hear everything clearly from inside the yard.

Ling'er was furious when she found out about this. She was glad she hadn't married a man like that. He always had to think of her first. Now she even felt sorry for his wife. She guessed that no woman in the world could live a good life if she married a man like that.

For example, the third wife is like that woman now. She didn't keep her eyes open when she got married, and now she's just suffering the consequences.

But in the end, it was those two children who were left without food... It's quite pitiful that they didn't even have anything to eat in the end...
