Tiger is already 11 years old and understands a lot of things, but now he is a little confused. Isn't it good that Uncle Qingyang is the brigade leader? His mother has always gotten along well with Aunt Miao.

His dad and Uncle Qingyang have a good relationship, so if anything good happens in the village in the future, won't they still think of them? Why is his mom crying so sadly?

Tiger was the eldest son in the family. He pulled the second son, Chuanzi, by the hand and led him into his mother's room.

"Mom, why are you crying? Isn't it good that Uncle Qingyang is the brigade leader?"

Ding Lingzi kept crying and ignored them. Hu Zi didn't quite understand, so he asked her what was on his mind.

"Mom, aren't you and Aunt Miao getting along well? Now that Uncle Qingyang has become the brigade leader, if there's anything good happening in the village, won't he think of our family first?"

Why are you calling my dad useless? He works so well; he earns 10 work points every day.

Ding Lingzi's crying gradually subsided. She wiped away her tears, sat up from the bed, and looked at Hu Zi.

“Your Uncle Qingyang became the brigade leader, but your dad didn’t. Don’t you think your dad is a coward?”

Tiger suddenly realized what was going on, then scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "Mom, I don't think Dad is fit to be the brigade leader."

How many words does the brigade leader say in a day? Look at my dad, how many words does he say in a day?

"If my dad becomes the brigade leader, won't our whole village be incredibly quiet every day, with no one to talk to?"

Ding Lingzi chuckled at Hu Zi's words, then let out a long sigh, "Sigh, your mother just doesn't have that kind of luck."

Tiger didn't quite understand his mother's thinking, but he still tried to persuade her, "Mom, let's go eat. Dad went out before he finished eating."

Ding Lingzi thought back to the slaps she had just given her little daughter and felt a pang of regret. Why had she been so impulsive, hitting her daughter so many times? She wondered if she had hurt her.

She quickly got out of bed and went out into the yard. She saw Lu Anjie pacing back and forth outside the gate with Tuantuan in her arms, so she went over and took Tuantuan back into her arms. Tuantuan was startled at first, but then, seeing that her mother didn't intend to hit her, she pouted and started crying in Ding Lingzi's arms again.

Ding Lingzi's heart clenched, and she said to Lu Anjie, "Let's go back and eat."

Then she took the child back into the house.

Seeing that her temper seemed to have subsided, Lu Anjie didn't say anything and went back to the room to continue eating.

Ding Lingzi was annoyed by his attitude; no matter how angry you were, he never tried to appease you. Whenever you got angry, he would just run off to the side and come back after you calmed down.

If he weren't truly capable, managing both the farm work and household chores perfectly every day, Ding Lingzi really wouldn't want to continue living with this man.

Seeing that Tuantuan was still crying pitifully, Hu Zi asked his mother, "Mom, can you steam some buns for Tuantuan tomorrow? She wants to eat some."

Ding Lingzi sighed again.
