Chapter 160 Why Kneel on the Ground

Ma Xiulian frowned. Although she was very reluctant, she still relented: "Fine, since we're already here, let's stay for one night."

It wasn't out of consideration for Li Chunhua, but rather because it wasn't safe to walk on the road after dark. She felt guilty if she encountered poisonous snakes or wolves and something happened.

But no matter what she thought, Li Chunhua felt relieved.

Grandma Li chuckled and said, "I knew my mother-in-law was a magnanimous person!"

Tomorrow I can eat as much as I want!

And then she started to take advantage of his kindness, saying, "Mother-in-law, you're cooking so early? Let me help you, I'm really good at cooking fish."

The commune caught so many fish today, we're definitely going to cook one for dinner tonight.

Moreover, she knew that her precious baby ate fragrant rice at every meal, and she could even secretly save some for her two little grandchildren.

Ma Xiulian said coldly, "I don't need your help."

This mother and daughter are truly foolish in the same way, acting as if no one can see through their little schemes.

Grandma Li seemed oblivious to her coldness, and said warmly, "Mother-in-law, you're being too formal. We're practically family now, so it's only right that we help each other out."

"become."

Ma Xiulian raised an eyebrow and pointed at a pile of firewood under the eaves, saying, "Since you're so eager to help, just chop up this pile of firewood. We'll need it for cooking tomorrow."

Two meals in exchange for a pile of chopped firewood—it's barely a worthwhile deal.

Looking at the huge pile of firewood, Old Lady Li's smile instantly froze on her face. "This...this is too much, and I am a guest after all."

This tigress has absolutely no manners when it comes to hospitality; she's a true shrew!

Ma Xiulian, however, pulled a long face and said impatiently, "Do it or don't, anyway, those who don't work in our Chen family don't get to eat!"

After saying that, she took the kitchen knife and went back to the kitchen. She was annoyed just looking at Old Lady Li's old face.

Zhao Mei followed her into the kitchen; she was getting too embarrassed to stay any longer.

Old Mrs. Li nearly collapsed with anger, grinding her teeth and muttering under her breath, "Damn old woman, why didn't she kick the bucket sooner!"

Startled, Li Chunhua quickly whispered, "Mom, you should say these things when you get home. If my mother-in-law hears you, she'll definitely send you back."

Of course, Old Mrs. Li knew, otherwise she wouldn't have deliberately lowered her voice, but she was furious inside!

So he reached out and pinched his daughter's arm hard, muttering under his breath, "You brat, it's all your fault for not having a baby, otherwise I wouldn't have to suffer this!"

Her hands, honed from years of hard work, possessed immense strength; a single blow caused Li Chunhua to burst into tears.

But she dared not resist, and could only say with red eyes, "Mom, the baby I'm carrying is definitely a son!"

Fortunately, Old Lady Li only pinched him in anger and didn't dare to make a move on Old Chen's turf.

"If you give birth to another son this time, next time Mom will get you a prescription to drink to have a son."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua's face turned pale instantly. Her third sister-in-law from her maternal family had died from a miscarriage after drinking a prescription that her mother had begged for.

She quickly changed the subject, saying, "Mom, why don't you come inside, have some water, and sit for a while?"

As for his two nephews, they've been playing with Chen Xiaobao for a long time.

Then, when Old Lady Li entered the room, she was immediately shocked and stared wide-eyed: "Jianye, why are you kneeling on the ground?"

To prevent the children from walking around in front of their elder, Chen Jianye, Ma Xiulian made him kneel facing the wall in a corner, so Old Lady Li didn't see him in the yard.
