"You, Lin Xueniang, are you deliberately trying to embarrass us sisters?"

"We haven't even started talking to you yet, and you dare to give us sisters attitude?"

Lin Xue's actions infuriated the two sisters, especially Er Ya, who, as Da Ya's biggest fan, always obeyed Da Ya's every word.

"Father, Mother, look at Second Sister, how could she say that to me?"

"I only gave these dishes to my eldest and second eldest sisters-in-law because I saw that they didn't like to eat them."

"Your daughter-in-law really didn't mean anything by it, parents, you have to believe me!"

Lin Xue didn't argue with Er Ya, but turned to look at Old Man Liu and Old Mrs. Sun, looking aggrieved.

"Er Ya, your sister-in-law meant well!"

"And don't meddle in your brothers' family affairs. It doesn't sound good if word gets out that a sister-in-law is interfering in her brothers' family matters!"

Although Grandma Sun missed her two daughters very much, she also knew in her heart that these two daughters were ungrateful wretches who could never be raised.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have never returned to her parents' home since getting married.

Now that he's finally back, he's finding fault with everything in the house.

The initial joy was quickly worn off by the antics of her two daughters, and she was starting to lose patience.

"Mother, how can you say such a thing?"

"My sister and I are just concerned about our brother. How come you're making it sound like we're trying to sow discord between us!"

Although Lin Xue had already picked out all the good meat, if they didn't start eating soon, even the few pieces of meat on the bones would probably be taken by the brothers.

Although Er Ya said that, her hands kept moving, and she put all the remaining pieces of meat into her and Da Ya's bowls.

"Alright, all of you, shut up! Can't even a meal shut you up?"

Grandpa Liu was shocked to see that his two daughters had ruined the pleasant atmosphere.

He shared the same opinion as his wife: those two daughters were just troublemakers.

Before she got married, she had no shortage of faults for Wang.

Since the two women got married, although they haven't come back to visit their parents, the family has become much more harmonious.

Old Liu and Old Mrs. Sun had no idea that their two daughters actually hated them.

Neither of the elderly couple felt they had done anything wrong. Although they asked for a large dowry, they also provided a large sum of money as part of the dowry.

When his two daughters got married, they gave away all the cured meat that the family had saved up.

If these cured meats were sold, they would be worth more than half of a bride price.

When a girl in the village gets married, which family is willing to provide such a large dowry?

In short, each of these four people had their own agenda.

The old man felt he hadn't mistreated his two daughters. Even if they favored his son, he reasoned that the son was there to support him in his old age, while the daughters were meant for other families.

The two girls felt that the old man was being unfair, favoring his older brother and younger brother and not treating his daughters like human beings.

No one can figure out this mess.

"Hmph, Father and Mother are just biased towards their brother!"

Er Ya muttered to herself, even though she had no problem with her two older brothers and one younger brother.

However, due to the favoritism of the two elders, coupled with the difficult life they had in their husband's family, resentment arose in their hearts.

"Second sister, stop talking!"

Compared to the foot soldier Liu Erya, Liu Daya was much more thoughtful.

She gently tugged at Er Ya's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

They haven't achieved their goal yet, so they can't really anger their family.

After finishing the meal.

Lin Xue took Liu Qing back to her home.

She didn't have the time to read her two sisters-in-law's expressions.

If you can't get along, then don't. But if you really provoke her, just beat her up to vent your anger.

Seeing that Xue had left, Zhou Shi happily followed her back to her own home.

Only the unfortunate Wang, as the eldest sister-in-law, and being in her own home, had no way to avoid it.

With a sigh in my heart, I had no choice but to put away the dishes and go to the kitchen to find some peace and quiet.

Da Ya and Er Ya helped Grandma Sun into the main room, and the two began to sweet-talk Grandma Sun, trying to get her to give more money to support the two families' survival.

"Mother, you arrived more than a year before us. You must be well-off now. Could you please help your daughter?"

"We're new here, we have nothing, and we're lacking everything!"

"Even if we wanted to build a house, we wouldn't have the money!"

Once she had gathered her emotions, Daya hugged the old lady's arm and cried.

"What does it cost to build a house? Isn't it all built by the village organizing the villagers to use local materials?"

"Look at these houses in our village. They were all built by the village chief and the villagers together. Everyone contributed their labor, no one took advantage of anyone else, and it didn't cost much money!"

Normally, building a house costs money, but if an entire clan moves here, which family among the refugees has the money?

It wasn't that everyone worked together, searching for building materials, making mud bricks, and building the house together.

Labor costs nothing, and materials are plentiful all over the mountains.

Anyway, neither my family nor yours has it, so no one will laugh at anyone else.

"Oh, Mother, our village is different from yours. Our village chief doesn't care about anything. If you want to build a house, you have to pay for it yourself!"

"Please help us! Besides, the place we were assigned isn't as good as your Qingshan Village. The imperial court doesn't even provide us with grain seeds; we have to buy our own seeds if we want to farm!"

"Plus, all the farm tools and stuff are gone, and everything costs money!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Sun knew that the village her daughter had married into was no good.

Both of them were refugees fleeing famine, so how did her daughter's village end up in such a dire state?

Either the old village chief is incompetent, or the daughter's elders don't know how to manage things.

Even when fleeing famine, who would be willing to throw away their farming tools?

"You kids, I'm not trying to be mean, but you don't know anything about how to manage a household!"

"You fled the famine and left all your belongings behind. Didn't your family have any elders to look after you?"

Although she complained, the old lady was secretly planning how to spare a few farm tools for her two daughters to use.

"Mother, I don't care. If you don't take care of your daughter, I really don't know how I'm going to live!"

"Waaaaah..."

Seeing that her mother was unmoved by reason, Liu Daya continued to cry and complain.

Daya's crying was melodious and sweet, but it was all bark and no bite, and it lacked any real emotion.

"Mother, please help me and my older sister!"

"You can't just watch your daughters suffer!"

Seeing that her older sister had tried to persuade the old woman for a long time without success, Liu Erya started crying along with Liu Daya.

"Ouch~"

"I never said I wouldn't help, so why are you crying!"

Grandma Liu's words silenced the two daughters' crying.

"Mother, we knew you wouldn't abandon us!"

"That's right, Mother! A child with a mother is truly a treasure!"

The two daughters supported Grandma Sun on either side, praising her incessantly with honey-like words.
