The long-term cold war with the Ma couple caused Zhao Dazhu to be full of distrust in her, so she was definitely unwilling to share such important news at the first time.

"This is my home, why can't I... Hey, you bought rice and flour? You have money?" Ma immediately became agitated like a fly seeing fish.

"This is the silver bracelet that my third sister sold to buy some temporary supplies for the family. You are not allowed to send it to your parents' home," Zhao Dazhu said in a bad tone.

"Who do you think I am? Forget it..."

Mrs. Ma did have other plans that day, but she smiled and said, "Let's eat first. Brown rice porridge, peach blossoms. Sister-in-law was mean to you before, and it was my fault. From now on, we are a family, so don't hold it against me. Since I married into the Zhao family, I am a member of the Zhao family. I have to accept everything. Come, eat eggs."

After saying that, he really took out a plate of eggs.

Even Sui'an noticed something was wrong with this kind-hearted Ma. She had been hiding behind Old Lady Zhao before, but now that Zhao Taohua came back, she immediately hid in her arms.

"This child."

"Let's eat."

I have to say that the two elders of the Zhao family were very calm. They saw that the Zhao brothers and sisters were beaming, the wooden barrel was empty, and they bought so many things, including chicks.

Then I knew that setting up a stall was successful and I made a lot of money.

But as for their daughter-in-law Ma, they are still in the observation stage. In the past, their family was poor, so it didn't matter. If they become rich in the future, Ma will still be as shameless and unrestrained as before.

Mountains of gold and silver would not be enough for her to move back to her parents' home.

So stay steady.

After taking a sip of the brown rice porridge, Wenwen said, "Old Master, you know our family's situation. Zhuzi and the others won't survive. Make the porridge thinner next time. Putting so much in it will choke people to death."

"Is it thick?"

Ma suspected that it was the same as before... As expected, the Zhao family was poorer than before, she thought in a depressed mood.

They are so poor, yet they still have to support my sister-in-law and her son. I don’t know what the Zhao family is up to.

But for her own sake, she had to endure it.

The Zhao family quickly finished their dinner in this strange and quiet atmosphere. Ma really wanted to see what food they bought.

But as soon as the things fell to the ground, they were put away by Old Lady Zhao, and she didn't see them clearly. But there was no rush. As long as she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, these things in the Zhao family would belong to her.

As for those little chicks, let the Zhao family raise them for a few months, and they will still be hers in the end.

“Ahem…”

After dinner, the Zhao brothers went to rebuild the chicken coop. Zhao Taohua sat in the courtyard, lost in thought, when Ma came over and asked, "Are you still angry with your sister-in-law?"

"No."

In fact, Zhao Taohua was worried that Ma would find out about their business.

But it seemed she was overthinking it. Ma must have other motives. She pretended to wipe away her tears and said, "You used to blame me, but it's not easy for us women. Taohua, didn't you eat enough tonight?"

Zhao Taohua nodded and touched her belly.

"Actually, I don't care whether I'm full or not. What's most important is my health..."

"Yes, the child is young and can't eat too much. Taohua, come to me behind the house after nightfall. I'll get two meat buns from my mother's house, one for you and one for Sui'an. Consider it my apology as your sister-in-law for that day," Ma said sincerely.

When Zhao Taohua heard the word "meat buns", her eyes immediately lit up.

"Sister-in-law, you really..."

Three parts surprise, five parts disbelief, and two parts caution.

"Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to wash the dishes." Ma gave Zhao Taohua a look that we women all understood, and left in a hurry. She didn't believe that Zhao Taohua would not want to build a good relationship with her after returning to her parents' home.
