Hu Xiuxiu's eyes reddened: "Yes."

What good deeds did she do in her past life to have such a wonderful husband's family?

Grandma Ye nodded in agreement.

She didn't like Hu Xiuxiu much before, but after Xiuxiu came into the family, she became diligent and efficient in her work.

Most importantly, Xiuxiu is clear-headed.

As long as Xiuxiu herself isn't the type to always side with her mother's family, Xiuxiu's mother won't get anything out of her.

...

After leaving the Ye family, Xiuxiu's mother felt extremely uneasy.

When I got home, I saw Hu Xiaosi chopping pig feed in the yard.

He squatted down and said, "Little Si, your sister is pregnant. She'll give you a big nephew next year. Your sister lives a life of luxury at the Ye family, while we can hardly afford to eat meat."

“Your sister loves you the most. Go see her tomorrow and tell her you want to eat meat.”

Hu Xiaosi slammed his knife down on the wooden block: "The 850 coins that Third Brother brings back every month aren't even enough to feed those two big fat pigs?"

Xiuxiu's mother was startled: "How dare you talk like that, you brat! Who's the pig?!"

"If they're not pigs, then who are?" Hu Xiaosi roared. "If you dissect them now, you could render ten pots of oil!"

"If you keep messing around like this, you might ruin Third Brother's job. Then we won't even be able to afford pig feed. How will Mother feed the pigs then?"

Hearing this, Xiuxiu's mother was very wary. She didn't know if she could get any money out of Xiuxiu, but Hu Xiaosan's monthly wage of 850 coins was a real thing.

Hu Xiaosi continued, "Also, Mother keeps saying that my older sister is living a life of luxury, so she should share some with us. She went to jail recently, why doesn't Mother think about how to get her out?"

Xiuxiu's mother's face darkened: "Even the village head can't do anything... and I'm not allowed to visit him, what can I do?"

"After she came out, all the villagers went to see them, but her mother didn't go?"

Xiuxiu's mother got angry: "Don't you have legs of your own? If you want to go, go by yourselves."

"You hid all the eggs and rice at home. What are we going to take if we have no money? Are we going to go empty-handed like I did today?"

They glanced at it discreetly a few times, but because they had no money, they didn't dare to go closer.

Later, the siblings met privately a few times, and the older sister even gave them eggs to eat.

Xiuxiu's mother was speechless after being rebuked, and turned to go back into the house.

How can this brat be so talkative? She wasn't like this before Xiuxiu got married.

Ever since Xiuxiu got married, her mouth has become like a long knife.

Let's leave it at that for now. Once Xiuxiu actually gives birth to a son, they'll realize how amazing she is!

...

On June 3, the furniture workshop was finally completed.

All the carpentry tools, such as planes and chisels, were also completed, totaling as many as sixty sets.

On June 8th, the workshop was put into operation.

Ye Caiping, Ye Daquan, Wang Shuantou, Ye Lizheng, and Ye Ershu together tore down the red cloth covering the workshop's plaque.

The villagers who were watching were just as happy as the owners, and they applauded excitedly.

Now that we have a workshop, we need to hire people!
