He simply stopped watching!

Whatever.

Anyway, I can't control it.

If there's no food to eat, I might as well starve to death!

Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting would work for a while, then rest for a while, and eventually they didn't want to work anymore.

They had only eaten a little bit at noon, and the two of them were already starving.

Yao Tingting encouraged Yao Qingqing to ask her mother if she could go home and cook first.

Yao Qingqing ran up to Huo Changlan and asked pitifully, "Mom, should I go back and cook? I'm starving!"

Huo Changlan herself was also having a hard time. She didn't want to do it, but now she had no choice but to continue.

She said, "You haven't even reached four centimeters today. Look at those little kids, they can do four centimeters. Don't compare yourself to Yun Ningyan."

"Go get to work, Mom will cook more when we get home tonight."

When Yao Qingqing saw that her mother wouldn't agree, she had no choice but to go back to work.

When Yao Tingting saw that she had returned, she asked, "Mother won't let me go back?"

Yao Qingqing nodded: "Mom said to cook more food when we get home tonight."

The two of them lingered in the field for half a day and finally earned four work points by the time they finished work.

It's not just a few of them who aren't proactive in their work.

Meng Zhenzhen, who was also working at the educated youth settlement, was also dawdling. Her hands were blistered and raw in the morning because she didn't have any tools.

I've never done this kind of work at home before. Why is farm work so tiring?

Then look at Song Pandi. She lives a free life now, earning her own work points and supporting herself.

During the more than six months she spent at Aunt Ma's house, she got used to doing chores every day.

In addition, she has taken good care of herself during this period, and her face has become fuller and she has more energy.

They are just as capable as older women when it comes to work.

She can get seven or eight work points in a day.

In contrast, Meng Zhenzhen was in a worse situation; she didn't even earn four work points a day, only three.

Moreover, I have several blisters on my hands, and they hurt terribly when I touch them.

Yun Ningyan had already prepared the meal at home.

Huo Junshan went straight to dinner when he got back.

I had barely taken a couple of bites of food when the door was pounded on loudly.

Huo Jianshe shouted from outside, "Third Brother, go check ahead, Auntie's here again!"

Huo Junshan opened the door and asked him, "What's wrong? Are they causing trouble again?"

Huo Jianshe shook his head and reached out to grab Huo Junshan's arm: "Third brother, Aunt came to our house asking for meat. She said we have so much meat that we've preserved and she wants to take some. Mother said no, but Father said he'll only give us a few pieces."

Yun Ningyan followed the sound and walked forward.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a commotion. Huo Changgen was furious. He pointed at Li Xiangyun and said, "Can't you just give her a few? We're family. She's in trouble now. If we don't take care of her, who will?"

Li Xiangyun was also furious. She was panting heavily: "Huo Changgen, your sister comes to ask for meat today and grain tomorrow. You give her whatever she wants. If our family were rich, we would give it to her. But with so many people in our family, how can we possibly give it all to her?"

The meat at home was meant to be eaten when I was at work, but Huo Changlan keeps coming to beg for it.

Who wouldn't get annoyed?

He couldn't even make a living himself, yet the old man still insisted on helping others.

They've been eating and drinking for free for months, and now they're asking for more.

Even a clay figure has a temper; if it's not going to be given, it's not going to be given!

Huo Changlan's face turned ashen. She pointed at Li Xiangyun, ready to unleash a torrent of abuse. Back when she was at home, Li Xiangyun wouldn't even dare to exchange a few words with her.

Now that your sons have all grown up, you feel confident, right?

She absolutely has to have this meat today!

She said to Huo Changgen, "Second Brother, I just came to borrow some money. I'll pay it back when I have it. Please give me some!"

Before Huo Changgen and Li Xiangyun could react, she went to Li Xiangyun's room to get the meat.

Huo Junshan reacted quickly, blocking her way: "What are you trying to do, Aunt?"

Huo Changlan pushed Huo Junshan away, but Huo Junshan didn't budge.

"Huo Junshan, you've already been separated from the family. This household has nothing to do with you!"

Huo Junshan turned and went into the main room, slammed the door to his mother's room shut, and stood right in front of it, refusing to let anyone open it!

Huo Jianguo saw this and walked forward, the two of them blocking the door completely.

Huo Changlan was furious.

Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting were anxiously waiting in the yard, but they didn't dare to lay a hand on Li Xiangyun.

Huo Changlan looked at Huo Changgen: "Second brother! You really won't give me a single piece of meat?"

Huo Changgen looked at Li Xiangyun and thought, "This little bit of meat isn't worth it!"

"Old woman, go and get one, stop making a scene here."

Li Xiangyun simply ignored him.

Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying didn't dare to step forward. The group was pushing and shoving each other. Both of them were pregnant, and what would happen if something happened to them?

When Huo Changlan realized that neither gentle persuasion nor force would work, he simply sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

Huo Changgen couldn't even pull him up.

Li Xiangyun rolled her eyes. Today, even if she threw a tantrum, it wouldn't work.

They said they wouldn't give it, and they just didn't.

Her son had gone to great lengths to bring back some meat, and she wasn't about to let others have it for free.

Li Xiangyun waved her hand and said, "Third brother, eldest brother, you guys go to Mother's room. There are bags in there. Put all the meat in the bags. Third brother, you take it. You're the one who brought this meat back in the first place, so take it all! We're not eating any of it!"

Huo Junshan looked at Yun Ningyan; he hadn't expected his mother to actually push the things to their house.

If it were placed in their home, my aunt wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

Yun Ningyan frowned. If she took the meat back, who knew what Huo Changgen would say?

But Li Xiangyun has already said it. If they don't take it, won't their mother-in-law be upset?

Before she could speak, Huo Changgen pointed at Li Xiangyun and shouted, "Li Xiangyun, how could you be so vicious? You wouldn't even give my sister some meat, and you even made Lao San take all the meat back. You're truly wicked!"

Li Xiangyun turned pale with anger. She never expected that the old man would become more and more confused every day.

If I give it to her this time, she'll definitely get it next time too.

This huge burden is welded onto my body!

Since the old man is determined to make their lives miserable, then none of us should expect to have an easy time.

She took off her shoes and started hitting Huo Changgen. This time, she hit him hard, aiming directly at his face.

Yun Ningyan was startled. She hadn't expected her mother-in-law to be so fierce, rushing over and hitting her face.

Huo Changgen was beaten and ran around in circles in the yard, covering his face.

The sons and daughters-in-law all watched the commotion from the sidelines, and not one of them tried to break up the fight.

Even Little Tiger and Daya were watching from the side.

Li Xiangyun grabbed Huo Changgen's hand and slapped him across the face. Huo Changgen dared not retaliate and kept dodging Li Xiangyun's vicious blows.

But Li Xiangyun was even more agile than them.

Therefore, Huo Changgen was constantly being beaten.

In the end, Li Xiangyun grabbed his hair and kept slapping him with her other hand.

He didn't let go until he was exhausted from hitting her.
