"Oh, sister-in-law, you still don't have any children, right? You and my eldest brother are already grown up, why is it so difficult for you to have a child?" Li Ailan continued to speak without restraint.

"Whether to have a child or not is a matter between your elder brother and me. You don't need to worry about it." Huang Yu answered bluntly.

Li Ailan nodded. "That's right! But giving birth is not easy. It hurts so much. Raising children is not easy either. When we were at home, I was the one who took care of Da Chou and Er Chou. Cai Gangqiang's mother was too lazy and didn't even want to take care of the children."

As soon as Li Ailan spoke, everyone felt a headache.

Li Dahu's face turned ashen. He couldn't stand Li Ailan anymore. He stood up and rushed out.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Ailan's voice came over, and Li Dahu walked faster.

She walked out of the Li family's yard and went straight to the Caijia Village production team where Cai Gangqiang was.

It was dark when we finally arrived at Cai Gangqiang's house.

After a shout outside the Cai family yard, Cai Gangqiang came out.

"Brother, you...why are you here?"

Cai Gangqiang was somewhat curious about Li Dahu's arrival, but also somewhat expectant of it.

"Don't ask me why I'm here. Pack up now and go pick up Li Ailan from my house. If she stays any longer, our Li family will have to beg on the streets."

Li Dahu's words are a bit exaggerated, but they are also based on facts.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just in the evening, when everyone took the bowls and chopsticks at the same time, Li Ailan ate a big bowl of rice before everyone started eating, and most of the dishes on the table went into her stomach.

If she is a good person and willing to work, then it's fine. We can all work harder and get through the difficulties together.

But the problem is, she hasn't worked for a day and has let others take care of the children, yet she still wants to eat and drink for free. How can this be justified?

Cai Gangqiang had a bitter look on his face. He knew this was the situation. When he learned that Ailan had left in the morning, he wanted to go and pick her up, but his mother wouldn't let him. She insisted that Ailan stay there for a few days and told Dachou to take good care of her health.

Thinking of his skinny son, Cai Gangqiang had a bad idea. He hoped that the Li family could help raise Dachou well. As for Erchou, they could still support him by tightening their belts.

"Brother, to be honest, our Cai family... has practically sold everything we have for Ailan and the two children. Even now, we still owe them a ton of debt, which we'll have to pay back when the grain is distributed.

If Ailan comes back, we…we can’t afford to support her anymore.” Cai Gangqiang began to complain to Li Dahu.

Li Dahu felt quite sympathetic towards Cai Gangqiang, but he also found it strange. "Gangqiang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when Ailan was in our Li family, although she didn't do heavy work, she did work like herding cattle. And she's so fat now, what on earth did you feed her?"

Li Ailan was so thin before, but only nine months have passed since the birth of her child, and she is already fatter than a pig.

In this day and age, when there is not much money to make, how difficult must it be to keep someone fat?

Cai Gangqiang told Li Dahu that Li Ailan had eaten ten chickens and more than ten kilograms of meat since she was breastfeeding.

Li Dahu was completely stunned after hearing this. "What? Ten... over ten pounds of meat? Ten chickens?"

On average, over nine months, that's nearly a pound of meat and more than a chicken per month.

It is not so easy for city dwellers. After all, one person only has about 300 to 400 grams of food per month.

More than a pound, enough for a family of three.
