The pig farmers are all elderly and unable to do heavy work in the fields. They are also struggling financially and need to earn work points. They are overjoyed that someone is helping them clean the pigsty.

Ji Dagang was furious when he saw the stinking pigsty, and he went home to complain.

Sun Lan was annoyed too; no matter how much he washed, she still felt Ji Dagang smelled. "What are you complaining about to me? Thank you, sister. He's just a traitorous, money-losing good-for-nothing."

Ji Xiaochun remained silent throughout, even when Sun Lan scolded her. She didn't utter a sound because she felt it would be pointless to speak up.

But these days, when she was with Wei An and Chang Xiaohu, their words opened a new window for her.

"...Let me tell you, my aunt's grandma is really wicked. She's always bullying my aunt's parents. My aunt says that when her dad is upset, she'll beat up his younger brother. Because that younger brother is the old lady's darling."

Aunt Xiaochun, if Sun Lan bullies you, tell us, and we'll go bully Sun Dabao. I'll go beat him up...

Song Yan happened to overhear. Oh dear! This little rascal overheard her talking to Xiaoxiao, and she blurted out, "Beat him up!" She was the one who said it…

Chang Xiaohu: "If they hit you or scold you, just run away crying. They won't dare to do anything to you. The brigade leader will also back you up. If you don't run away, you'll get beaten up."

Don't spend all your time thinking about work. No matter how much work you do, it's useless; they won't pity you.

The sister-in-law's darling is her younger brother. Sun Lan is Ji Dagang's Achilles' heel, I suppose!

Ji Xiaochun should bravely leave this home and leave all the housework to Sun Lan!

Chang Xiaohu's words of encouragement echoed in my ears again and again.

“I didn’t betray my own people. But the brigade leader said we can’t favor boys over girls. You called me a money-loser. I’m going to find the brigade leader.” Ji Xiaochun turned and left.

"Come back here!" Ji Dagang hurriedly caught up with her in two steps, and Xiaochun was pulled back by her.

Xiaochun lowered her head. "Brother, you're too rough, it hurts so much. If I get injured, you'll have to shovel manure for a year."

As Xiaochun spoke, she looked at her brother, hoping to see a hint of pity. Ultimately, Ji Xiaochun was disappointed. Ji Dagang's face showed not only anger but also disgust. However, her brother was also afraid.

Ji Dagang had taken on a lot of work, but he didn't dare to vent his anger on Xiaochun. He was afraid that Xiaochun would report this to the brigade leader, who would then definitely punish Ji Dagang.

Starting today, Xiaochun will stop cooking, washing clothes, and feeding the chickens.
