Old Mrs. Lu’s wailing stopped abruptly, as if the pause button had been pressed.

She raised her tear-stained face and complained, "Qiqi, grandma knows you are smart and capable, but in this family, there must be a hierarchy of elders and juniors! Where can I put my old face if you act like this?" She deliberately lowered her voice, her tone full of grievances. Those who didn't know would think that Shen Qiqi had done something to her!

Li and Zhang immediately followed suit, each one speaking louder than the other.

"That's right, Qiqi! How can a younger generation talk to an elder like that?" Li's sarcastic voice echoed in the room, as if it was going to blow the roof off.

"You are going to make a big fuss!" Zhang was not willing to be outdone. Her saliva was flying everywhere, and she wished she could spit it all over Chen Qiqi's face.

The three of them sang in unison, just like in a play, and portrayed the roles of "evil mother-in-law" and "cunning sister-in-law" vividly.

Village chief Zhang shook his head as he watched. The Lu family really has its own problems!

Shen Qiqi stood aside with her arms folded, watching their performance leisurely.

She wanted to see how long they could perform this play.

After they had sung enough, Shen Qiqi spoke slowly: "Grandma, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, when you talk about superiority and inferiority, do you mean that we should lock up all the food and let everyone starve, just like before? Or do you mean that all the good things should be kept by you, and we should have to eat coarse grains and vegetables, just like before?"

With every word she spoke, the expressions of Mrs. Lu and the other two grew uglier.

This Shen Qiqi is really bringing up things that are not related to the topic!

They had indeed done these things before, but now that Shen Qiqi had said it so bluntly, where could they put their faces?

“Qiqi, you…you are slandering me!” Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and her fingers pointing at Shen Qiqi were trembling.

"When have we ever treated you harshly?"

Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in her smile.

"Grandma, you tend to forget things easily, but I remember everything clearly." She paused, glanced at the three of them, and said meaningfully, "How about we go through everything one by one?"

Mrs. Lu and the other two's faces turned pale and blue, as colorful as a palette.

Shen Qiqi was not in a hurry. She slowly took out a stack of papers from her pocket and waved them in front of everyone.

"As for me, I had anticipated this happening, so I made preparations in advance." As she spoke, she unfolded the papers one by one, revealing a detailed family resource management plan.

"This is the distribution plan I developed based on each family's labor force, population, and actual conditions. It clearly lists how much grain each household can get and how many work points they can get. There's no deception." Shen Qiqi pointed to the contents of the plan and explained them one by one, her tone calm but resounding.

In the plan, she also placed special emphasis on caring for the elderly, the young, the sick and the disabled, as well as special care for pregnant women, fully reflecting the principles of fairness and justice.

This plan is simply the prototype of modern enterprise management. Seeing this, Village Chief Zhang nodded repeatedly, secretly admiring Shen Qiqi's wisdom.

Some sensible relatives of the Lu family also expressed their agreement, feeling that this plan was much better than the previous "one-man-dominant" management style.

Mrs. Lu and the other two were dumbfounded. They didn't expect Shen Qiqi to have this trick!

They originally wanted to use the "elderly and junior higher" principle to suppress Shen Qiqi, but unexpectedly, they were outmaneuvered by Shen Qiqi.

Seeing that her wishful thinking failed, Zhang became anxious. Her eyes rolled and a plan came to her mind.

"Village chief, this... this plan looks good, but... we can't forget the rules of our ancestors! In this family, the elders have the final say!" She argued with unfounded arguments, her eyes wandering, and she obviously lacked confidence.

“Yes, Qiqi, no matter how smart you are, you can’t break the rules!” Li also quickly agreed, fearing that Shen Qiqi would snatch their “right to speak”.

Mrs. Lu also recovered and put on the airs of an elder, saying earnestly, "Qiqi, grandma knows you're a good child, but there are some things that are not up to you to decide..."

Seeing that both Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Li were on her side, Zhang became even more proud. She straightened her back and looked like a successful villain.

"Yes, the Lu family's affairs have to be decided by us elders! As a new daughter-in-law, you should stay out of it!"

The air suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Qiqi, waiting for her response.

The corners of Shen Qiqi's mouth rose slightly, and she spoke slowly, her tone carrying a barely perceptible chill: "Second sister-in-law, are you sure you want to talk to me about the rules?"

Lu Qing stood up suddenly, pulled Shen Qiqi behind him, and glared at Zhang like a protective child: "Second sister-in-law, this is a new society, we must talk about fairness and justice! I think my wife's plan is okay!" His tone was firm, and his eyes were full of trust in Shen Qiqi. There was a tacit understanding between the two that did not require words, it was like they had opened a shared Wi-Fi (wireless network).

Zhang was frightened by Lu Qing's aura and was unable to speak.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Qing, I'm not saying anything to you, but this is a woman's matter, why are you, a grown man, butting in on it..."

"Grandma, this is not a woman's matter. It is a matter of food and clothing for everyone in the Lu family!" Lu Qing said in a resounding voice without giving in.

Seeing Lu Qing and Shen Qiqi forming a united front, Mrs. Lu and her two daughters-in-law became even more panicked.

This young couple is more difficult to deal with than the other!

Shen Qiqi poked her head out from behind Lu Qing and looked at Mrs. Lu and the other two with a smile, but her tone was a little cold: "Since Grandma and the eldest and second sisters-in-law all think that the rules of the ancestors are important, then let's follow the rules. How about this, from now on, the allocation of family resources will be supervised by the eldest and second sisters-in-law! How do you think?"
