"Sister Liu!" Xianglian glared at her, somewhat embarrassed and indignant.

Huiyun stood in the courtyard, her eyes fixed on the steaming food on the table, but she didn't go over.

Zhao Di ran up to her and took her little hand; "Huiyun, let's go eat together!"

Huiyun finally relaxed after receiving Zhaodi's invitation.

In the courtyard, adults and children sat around a table and enjoyed a very pleasant dinner.

Meanwhile, the aroma of food from the courtyard wafted throughout most of the village, making many people's mouths water.

"Look! As soon as Sister-in-law Zhu comes back, their family can have a feast!"

"Who lives like her family? They have lavish meals every few days. I really don't know where she gets the money."

There are always some gossipy women who, with the utmost malice, speculate that Liu Yingying's money came from illegitimate sources...

The old Zhu family residence.

The elderly couple, Zhu Youcai and Ma Jinhua, were also smelling the aroma of food wafting from their eldest daughter-in-law's courtyard, and sat there clutching their stomachs with annoyed expressions.

Before the incident involving Master Kui, Liu Yingying would occasionally feed the old couple out of respect for the deceased scholar.

But ever since Zhu Youcai and his wife sided with outsiders to try and kill her, Liu Yingying's heart has been completely chilled.

They never cared whether they lived or died again!

So, for some time now, the elderly couple have been living hand to mouth.

Ma Jinhua muttered under her breath, "I knew that eldest daughter-in-law was no good. She has food and drink all by herself, but she doesn't even know how to be filial to her parents-in-law. If she really pushes me too far, I'll sue her for filial impiety!"

Even though Liu Yingying was a widow, she still had to be filial to her parents-in-law.

The Great Xia Dynasty governed the country based on filial piety, so this matter was almost always resolved with a successful complaint!

Zhu Youcai looked at her, his eyes darting around, seemingly also considering the feasibility of the matter...

Just then, Lü Sufeng returned from work outside and overheard the old woman's words while still outside the door, finding them laughable.

He pushed open the door, walked in, and looked at Ma Jinhua without any politeness;

"Oh! Who are you going to sue? Your sister-in-law?"

Ma Jinhua was startled by her sudden appearance, but she quickly regained her composure and resumed her mother-in-law demeanor.

“She, Liu, is my Zhu family’s daughter-in-law, yet she is disrespectful to her parents-in-law. This is one of the seven grounds for divorce!”

The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became of it, and she became even more self-righteous, pointing at Lü Sufeng and cursing her again;

"And you, you little whore, don't think I don't know. Now that you've sucked up to that wicked woman and are getting benefits from it, who doesn't know if you'll help that wicked woman plot against us?"

"Pfft!" Lu Sufeng was so angry that she laughed.

"Mother-in-law, can't you go look in the mirror and see yourself clearly? What good is it for me to give up my perfectly good life and trade my remaining years for your half-dead old life?"

"You think way too highly of yourself!"

"How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your mother-in-law!" Ma Jinhua was furious.

If she weren't so hungry and weak, she could have jumped up.

Lu Sufeng was too lazy to argue with her anymore. "Alright, Mother-in-law! You've already offended my eldest sister-in-law, and my second sister-in-law is in jail. Now, only I can give you food. Are you sure you want to keep making a scene like this?"

Ma Jinhua was stunned, and the words she was about to say could no longer be uttered.

Yes, this third daughter-in-law isn't exactly a saint, but at least she occasionally brings food over...

Lu Sufeng warned again, "Furthermore, I advise you not to do anything to upset your sister-in-law. Lord Shen of Furong County is now her powerful backer. Are you going to sue her? You probably want to end up in jail with your second sister-in-law!"

After saying that, Lü Sufeng wiggled her hips and went back to her room.

Ma Jinhua was left standing there, stunned, gritting her teeth in anger...

After dinner, Liu Yingying and her child washed up and prepared to go to bed.

She herself didn't like sharing a bed with others, but Zhao Di already had Xiang Lian sleeping in the same bed, so there was no room for a third person.

So, Huiyun had no choice but to sleep with her tonight.

Liu Yingying gave Zhao Di a clean set of undergarments for her to change into; "I came back in a hurry today and haven't bought you any new clothes yet. Just wear your sister's for now, and I'll buy you new ones next time I go to the city."

Huiyun shook her head. "Godmother, you don't need to buy me clothes. I'll just wear my sister's old clothes."

In Wangjia Village, she always wore tattered clothes that her older cousins ​​didn't want and ate leftovers from her younger brother...

Now that she's back with her godmother, she's already very content to have enough to eat; she really doesn't dare ask for anything more...

"Silly girl! Now that I've taken you in as my goddaughter, there's no reason for me to let you continue to live a hard life!" Liu Yingying smiled and rubbed her head.

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep!"

After lying down, Huiyun carefully moved closer to her, and finally mustered up her courage, reached out and hugged Liu Yingying's arm as she drifted off to sleep.

This child...

Liu Yingying tucked the blanket around her, but then stared at the ceiling, deep in thought...

As the number of people in the family increased, the house became crowded.

Moreover, the original bed was too small, and she wasn't used to sleeping in it to begin with, and now that there's a child, she's even more uncomfortable.

No, she has to find someone to make a new two-meter-wide bed tomorrow!

And this house needs to be rebuilt too...

I slept without any dreams.

The next morning, Liu Yingying found Xue Ye and explained her needs.
