"So many dishes and you still can't shut up?" Tie Dan's mother glared at her second daughter.

The eldest daughter has some sense, but the second daughter is a blockhead. She's used as a pawn by her husband's family, and they just shoot her wherever they want. She's completely brainless.

Tie Dan went to the kitchen to get clean bowls and chopsticks, intending to put some food on Tang Yuanyuan's plate, but found that each bowl of meat dishes had a lot of chili peppers in it. The bright red chili peppers looked very appetizing, but Tang Yuanyuan doesn't eat chili peppers. She is a native of Pingjiang and can only eat a little bit of chili peppers. She definitely couldn't eat so many chili peppers.

The dishes for the Roubao siblings were served separately, one small dish of each, which was just enough for the two of them.

Tie Dan frowned. He was simple-minded and didn't think much of it, assuming that his mother had just casually added chili peppers. He was worried because his wife definitely couldn't eat all of this. What should he do?

But Ya Dan wasn't so easily fooled. She asked her mother, "Mom, who's cooking tonight?"

"Me? When have I not been the one cooking?" Tie Dan's mother's eyes flickered, and she looked guilty.

"Then why did you put so much chili in? You know my sister-in-law can't eat chili, are you deliberately trying to make her go hungry!" Ya Dan didn't give her mother any face.

She was doing it for her mother's good. Her eldest and second eldest sisters and brothers were all unreliable. If her parents wanted to live a comfortable life in their later years, she should get along well with her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law was kind-hearted and generous. As long as she didn't go too far, her sister-in-law wouldn't hold it against her.

But if her mother keeps doing this, even the warmest heart will grow cold. If Tang Yuanyuan really gets heartbroken, will her parents still have a good life?

To put it bluntly, given how much her brother dotes on his wife, Tang Yuanyuan only needs to whisper a few words in his ear and he'll be obedient. There are plenty of ways for her to secretly mess with the old lady without giving anyone cause for gossip. Her mother is really confused!

Iron Egg's mother was embarrassed. She did have a little intention to give Tang Yuanyuan a hard time, but now that Ya Dan had pointed it out to her face, she couldn't help but get angry and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just put in too much. We always put in this much chili when we cook at home."

"Then how come you remember to serve the meat buns and meat pies? Mother, don't listen to those who try to sow discord. My sister-in-law sends you so much money every month, and you don't even cook her a decent meal. How are you any different from those wicked mothers-in-law in the village!"

Ya Dan spoke earnestly, hoping her mother would listen and not let the troublemakers in the family stir up trouble. If things got really bad, Tang Yuanyuan wouldn't suffer any loss. At worst, she could just not go back to her hometown. If they cut back on her parents' living expenses, then her parents would know what hardship really meant.

"You really think you're so high and mighty, even talking to your mother like that. What's wrong with adding more chili peppers? Just soak it in water, that's fine. City people are so delicate," Sister Niu said irritably.

Actually, she cooked a few of the dishes, and she deliberately added a lot of chili peppers, intentionally not wanting Tang Yuanyuan to eat them. She didn't really have any grudge against Tang Yuanyuan; she was just jealous that Tang Yuanyuan was pampered like a precious gem by Tiedan, while her man beat and scolded her and even took a concubine. She just felt unbalanced.

"I'll put some vegetables in the cesspool to soak, do you want to eat them?" Ya Dan retorted, knowing that her second sister was involved in this matter, and that her second sister might have put the chili peppers in there.

"You're the one who eats shit! I'm not a dog. If you keep spouting nonsense, I won't be polite!" Sister Niu Er glared angrily.

Ya Dan sneered, "Why can't we eat it? Just soak it in water."
