Even worse...

She just got married last night!

Thinking back to that awkward and embarrassing wedding night last night, a slight blush rose to her cheeks.

Although Shen Cunpu's health did improve considerably after drinking the spiritual spring that was said to have health-restoring properties.

But he clearly has little experience in this area.

To be honest, she's not much better.

Even though I had secretly watched a few adult films with my best friend.

I have done some theoretical research, but I am still completely clueless when it comes to practical application.

That action was ended hastily.

It lacked both passion and warmth.

Most importantly, his physical condition was far from recovered, and she didn't dare to push him too hard, so she only tried a little.

No one expected to encounter such an unlucky thing so early in the morning.

Her blanket was suddenly pulled off without warning.

What followed was the old lady's incessant chatter.

Thinking about this made Su Qingzhi feel increasingly agitated.

She finally couldn't help but roll her eyes at her mother-in-law.

"Mom, what family would go up to the bed of their newlywed daughter-in-law first thing in the morning? Luckily she's dressed so it won't be too embarrassing, but it's still so awkward."

However, this statement did not have the slightest effect in easing the situation.

This only made Zhu Xiuqin's expression turn even more unpleasant.

"Do you even know what time it is?"

"What newlywed bride is like you?"

"Go wash up and wash your face, then go to the stove to start a fire and cook – that's the important thing!"

Su Qingzhi remained sitting lazily on the bed.

He seemed to still be immersed in the emotions of last night, showing no intention of taking any action.

As she looked at Zhu Xiuqin, she let out a long, lazy yawn.

I'm not hungry.

She said slowly, "If you want to eat it, then you can make it yourself."

She's here to be a daughter-in-law.

I'm not here to be a beast of burden.

"What did you say?!"

Zhu Xiuqin's eyes widened suddenly, almost doubting that there was something wrong with her ears!

This is going to turn the world upside down!

"Su Qingzhi, stop acting like a spoiled princess! Don't put on airs and try to put on airs in front of me!"

Zhu Xiuqin's tone was sharp and sarcastic.

"Since she has properly married the eldest son of the Shen family and become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shen family, she should be aware of the responsibilities she should bear!"

"Let alone Qingshan Village, even in the entire commune and the surrounding villages, which newlywed bride doesn't have to wash dishes, fetch water, cook, feed pigs, and do everything in the fields as soon as she enters the family?"

Zhu Xiuqin snorted coldly.

"What kind of attitude is this, being lazy and gluttonous? No wonder people always criticize your kind of capitalist roaders."

"I think you've not only disgraced the Shen family, but you've also completely disgraced your heroic grandfather!"

After saying this, Su Qingzhi felt a throbbing sensation in her temples.

Although she didn't intend to work hard and complain after marrying into the Shen family, she absolutely wouldn't tolerate others talking about her grandfather like that!

Before she came through, she was just an observer.

But even then, I was deeply moved by Grandpa Su's indomitable spirit.

Regardless of whether Grandpa Su was truly as heroic as described in the novel, or whether these figures were merely fictional.

It is undeniable that it is thanks to the sacrifices and bloodshed of countless predecessors like him that we enjoy peace today.

"Don't talk about others."

Su Qingzhi slowly raised her head and spoke coldly.

She spoke softly.

"You think I'm easy to bully? Don't forget, if it weren't for my grandfather's help back then, your Shen family wouldn't have survived that famine!"

"Without the relief our Su family provided back then, the Shen family would probably have starved to death years ago!"

When Zhu Xiuqin married into the Shen family.

That family was so poor they couldn't even afford a complete pot.

The stove was cold, the rice container was empty, and there was a crack in the corner of the wall.

The wind outside blows in loudly.

In the dead of winter, the whole family could only squeeze into one room to keep warm.

The roof tiles were loose and no one bothered to fix them. Rats scurried in looking for food, but after wandering around and finding nothing, they ran away in disgust.

Fortunately, the situation gradually stabilized later.

Shen Zhiyu's father risked his life to save Grandpa Su's life on the front lines of the War of Resistance against Japan.

Although this happened many years ago, the friendship remains.

So, the cloth, grain, salted meat, matches... were delivered from the Su family.

It's been running all year round.

At that time, she and Shen Zhiyu's deceased father were finally able to fill their stomachs.

The children have grown up, and their two children, Ru, can now chase after the hens in the yard to collect eggs and help with cooking.

This aid has continued for several years, and has hardly stopped for more than a decade.

The Su family has been quietly helping the Shen family.

After Mr. Shen passed away two years ago, Zhu Xiuqin naturally took over the role of managing all the affairs of the family and became the backbone of the family.

The problem is, even the smallest favor...

Over time, emotions change, and some people will quietly hide them away.

As for Zhu Xiuqin, she never acknowledged the great kindness shown to her family, and she would never admit it verbally.

Our family survived only because of you.

So Su Qingzhi's words just now made her lose face, and she immediately became furious.

He jumped up from the bench with a bang, his face contorted with rage. He rushed over and yelled, "How dare you bring up these things now?! You owe them a huge debt of gratitude that they risked their lives for!"

"That's a debt of gratitude that no one in the world can ever repay!"

"What's wrong with giving us some food and cotton-padded clothes? Those are things the Shen family should give so that you can enter the family safely, right?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke.

“If you hadn’t been a member of the Shen family back then, and had been protected by our status as poor peasants, you would probably have been dragged out and paraded through the streets with your head shaved by now! You wouldn’t even have time to escape then.”

"You do nothing and you still have the nerve to complain! What are you doing, just lounging around pretending to be virtuous? If you really don't want to cook, then hurry up and go dig some wild vegetables in the mountains, stop idling around here."

"I'll say it again, I won't ask you to do chores three or five times a day anymore. Don't expect me to nag you every day! Don't you get annoyed? I'm sick of hearing it!"

She grew angrier and angrier as she yelled, and in the end, she simply grabbed a bamboo basket from the side and threw it forcefully.

With a "thud," it was thrown directly in front of Su Qingzhi.

Then, she glared at the other person, stomped her feet heavily, and walked out without looking back.

The world outside had only recently recovered from a period of famine.

Although the weather is starting to warm up, there's something to look forward to.

However, the entire village remained poor and impoverished, with a shortage of supplies.

We don't usually eat refined grains; our three meals a day are mainly made up of whole grains.
