The team leader said: "Okay, then, all of you calm down and listen to me. We don't need to hold a morning meeting for a long time. There are always some people who like to make trouble in the middle."

Old Lady Yang said, "Captain, if you have something to say, just say it quickly. You keep talking so much and delaying our work. You're the only one who acts like a captain in front of us every day."

The captain: "Old lady Yang, if you like to listen, then listen. If you don't like to listen, you can leave. I'm not holding you back. If you think I'm nagging, how about I give you the position of captain and you take over?"

"If you were to become the team leader, I guess everyone wouldn't even have enough porridge to eat, and all they'd do all day is gossip about others."

"And your son, Laizi, never works every day. He cheats people everywhere and is lazy and gluttonous. I really don't know how you can be parents. When he runs out of food, you'll be in trouble."

Old Lady Yang: "Captain, just take care of your own business. You don't need to worry about our family. Besides, my son doesn't work, and I support him. What's wrong with me spoiling him? If you have any objections, I will never come to you to borrow money even if I have no food to eat."

The captain said angrily, "Old Lady Yang, I'm speechless. Do you think I have nothing to do all day? Whether your son goes to work or not has nothing to do with me. Don't come to me when you have nothing to eat."

"You guys are so hard to manage every day. You always make the team so chaotic that everyone is thrown to the ground. I don't even bother to talk to you anymore."

Okay, everyone, be quiet. I have something to say.

"Didn't Miss Tang just move out of her family? She wants to build a house of her own. Anyone willing to help can do so. As for the wages, Miss Tang has no place to cook right now, so she won't include meals. The fee is 80 cents a day. If anyone is willing, please raise your hand and sign up."

When everyone heard the news, some people raised their hands and signed up to help Tang Shiyan repair her house without saying anything. After all, the pay was 80 cents a day. If they went to work, they would work themselves to death and not even get 80 cents.

Some people started to make a fuss, saying that this girl Tang had money to build a house right after she got a share of the family property. They heard that when she divided the family property, her family didn't give her anything, not even a bed or a broken quilt. Where did she get the money to build a house?

Could it be that she did something shady and got the money, or that some rich man took a fancy to her and gave her the money.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Old Lady Zhou said, "You cheap girl, where did you get the money to build this house? Did you do something shameful to earn it? You're usually so well-behaved at home, but I didn't expect you to change so much right after you got married."

"Since you have the money to build the house, why don't you give us the three hundred dollars so that you don't hold back when the time comes?"

Tang Shiyan: "Old lady Zhou, you need evidence when you speak. Did you see what shameful thing I did? Do you have clairvoyance and super hearing? If you don't know the situation, don't talk nonsense to me here."

"And you want me to give you the three hundred yuan right now. We agreed on a month's payment. There's a written document proving it, where you signed your name, Zhou Guiying. Only a few days have passed, and you're already asking for the money. I think you're obsessed with money."

"Are you so anxious to get the money and reincarnate? You're such a money-hungry shrew! Do you want me to show you the document? It's written in black and white, and it's signed. And you still want to make trouble here?"

Tang Zhaozhao: "Sister, I'm afraid your money must have come from dirty sources. Did you secretly get into bed with some rich man?"

"Otherwise, where would you get the money to build the house? You're charging 80 cents a day. I'm afraid you're just trying to fool everyone. Don't let the house be built and you don't have money to pay everyone's wages. You'll be finished."

“Snap, snap, snap…”

When everyone heard the slap, they all looked over and saw Tang Zhaozhao crying with her face in her hands.

Tang Shiyan: "Tang Zhaozhao, shut your stinky mouth. Don't you know your words stink? Did you get up too early in the morning and go to the cesspool to eat shit before you woke up? That's why your words stink so much."

"You think everyone is like you, desperately trying to get close to rich men when they see them? The key is that they ignore you and want to hide when they see your awful look."

"Whether I have money to pay wages is none of your business. It seems we have no relationship anymore. There is no need for you to worry about me. Just take care of yourself."

When Feng Lihong saw Tang Zhaozhao being beaten, she walked up to Tang Shiyan.

Feng Lihong: "Tang Shiyan, how dare you hit your sister? It's been so long since I last hit you, are you itching to get your ass kicked again? I'll beat you to death today."

Feng Lihong was reaching out to hit Tang Shiyan, but unexpectedly Tang Shiyan turned around and grabbed Feng Lihong's hand and hit her back.

Feng Lihong screamed in pain, "You damn bitch, how dare you hit your mother? I think you have really grown wings, lawless and even hit your own mother."

Tang Shiyan: "Feng Lihong, are you my real mother? How did you beat and scold me in the past, and why did you not let me eat? Do you want me to tell everyone about it? What delicious food, clothes, and easy work do you usually leave for Tang Zhaozhao?"

"Why didn't you say you were my mother then? Now I doubt whether you are my mother at all. If you were, you would treat your children fairly. And you know very well how you treated me."

Everyone lost their composure when they heard Tang Shiyan's words, and those gossipy aunts started to make a fuss.

Old Lady Yang said, "Look at this girl Tang. She doesn't look like a member of that family at all. Look at how distinctive she is. Although she's a little thin, her face is beautiful. It's fair and clean, like a fairy from heaven."

"Look at that family again. They all have pointed chins and pockmarked faces. Their skin is as black as the bottom of a pot. They don't look like a family at first glance."

Old Lady Sun next to her also agreed, "I don't think so. We all know what life was like for Tang girl in that family before she was separated. She was either beaten and scolded all day long, or not given food to eat. She had to do all the dirty and tiring work."

Old Lady Zhou: "Old Lady Yang, Old Lady Sun, please stop talking nonsense here. What family doesn't spank and scold their children? It's normal to go hungry if they don't obey."

Old Lady Yang: "Old Lady Zhou, what you did is normal. Others eat three meals a day, and you only give Tang girl one meal every three days. Others only beat their children occasionally, but you beat Tang girl every day. We just didn't say anything at the time, so don't think others don't know."
