Zhu Youcai was holding a spoiled and moldy steamed bun, about to take a bite, when he suddenly smelled the aroma of chive and egg pancakes.

"Old woman, can you smell something?"

Ma Jinhua smelled it too, and sniffed; "It smells so good..."

"Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Liu asked me to bring you food."

Zhu Jiawang carried in porridge and cakes, and carefully placed them on the table in front of them.

"Aunt Liu said we don't have enough bowls, so Second Aunt and Third Aunt took them all. You can all bring a bowl to make room for us!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhu were both shocked!

Ever since the eldest son's family was completely emptied out by them, Liu Shi has stopped sending food over.

Right now, only Liu has grain in the whole village, but everyone thinks that with her current powerful position, she definitely won't care about the fate of the old house.

But to everyone's surprise, the woman suddenly sent her eldest grandson to deliver food...

"Jiawang, did your mother ask you to send this?" Zhu Youcai asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, hurry up and clear out my bowl, I'm in a hurry to get back to eat!" Zhu Jiawang said impatiently.

"You brat, how dare you talk like that? We are your grandparents!"

Although Ma Jinhua complained, she moved very quickly, got up to get two bowls, and returned the bowls that Zhu Jiawang had brought to him.

Zhu Jiawang took the bowl back and left immediately.

However, Zhu Youcai and his wife sat at the table but did not start eating immediately.

The porridge and chive and egg pancakes that Liu Yingying had sent were just enough for the two of them.

But the second and third children's families were also hungry...

Zhu Youcai stared at the two pancakes for a long time before speaking: "Take these chive and egg pancakes for the children, and let's have some porridge!"

However, Ma Qiumei and Lü Sufeng reacted very differently when they saw their children eating the egg and chive pancakes that Liu Yingying had brought over.

Ma Qiumei said with a sharp and sarcastic tone, "Is this all the stuff you sent? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

Zhu Erqiang couldn't help but say, "Shut up! Right now, only my sister-in-law in the whole Taoyuan Village has food. If you hadn't ruined your relationship with her before, our family would be able to have some soup too!"

Ma Qiumei, however, did not think so.

She felt that Liu Yingying was definitely laughing at their family right now!

Besides, these egg pancakes are a gift for my in-laws, not specifically for them.

Hmph! She's not going to be grateful to that bitch!

Meanwhile, Lu Sufeng, who was next door, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the egg and chive pancakes in her children's hands. She said to Zhu Sanqiang, "It seems that my sister-in-law still cares about our relationship!"

Otherwise, she could just watch the people in the old house starve to death.

"Mom, the pancakes are delicious, I want more..."

The eldest son, Zhu Jiabao, wolfed down the chive and egg pancake in his hand, still looking at her with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Lu Sufen had already made up her mind and pulled her two children to her side.

"These cakes were sent by your aunt. Your father and mother are going to the city tomorrow. Since you two ate what your aunt gave you today, why don't you go to her house and help with the chores tomorrow?"

"Will we get chive and egg pancakes while we work?" Zhu Jiabao blinked; he only cared about food.

"You child, all you ever do is eat!"

"Once you please your aunt, you'll have all kinds of food!"

Zhu Jiabao's small eyes immediately lit up; "Really?"

Lu Sufeng said irritably, "Would I lie to you? But I'm warning you two, don't you dare fight or argue with your older brother and sister tomorrow..."

After dinner, Liu Yingying went back into the kitchen and started working again.

The candied winter melon she made this time sold well, so she plans to make candied winter melon from the remaining winter melon and sell it as well...

Jiawang was in charge of peeling the winter melon, while Zhaodi cut the peeled winter melon into strips.

Zhu Jiafu sat in front of the stove to tend the fire, while Liu Yingying poured the chopped winter melon into the pot to start cooking.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Zhu Jiawang ran to open the door and saw that his neighbors, Aunt Xu and Aunt Wang, as well as Lin Cuicui and her mother, Shi Sanmei, were all standing at the door.

Aunt Xu asked with a smile, "Jiawang, is your mother home?"

"Do you need to see her?"

Zhu Jiawang is now wary of anyone who comes looking for Liu Yingying, fearing that these old women might have nothing better to do than try to arrange a marriage for Liu Yingying again!

As they were talking, Liu Yingying came out of the kitchen and was slightly surprised to see the group of women.

"Sister Xu, is there... something you need?"

Shi Sanmei quickly nudged her daughter, and Lin Cuicui had no choice but to explain awkwardly, "Aunt Liu, it's like this, my mother and the others heard that you know how to make winter melon candy and even sold some in the county town for money, so they wanted to come and learn from you..."

Shi Sanmei also said, "Sister, please don't laugh at us for being shameless. We're so desperate that we can't even afford to eat, so we thought we'd come to you for help, hoping for another way to survive..."

Liu Yingying was silent for a moment before saying, "Please come in and sit down!"

He then instructed Zhu Jiawang, "Quickly go inside and bring out a few stools."

The people outside the door exchanged glances. Apart from Lin Cuicui, who knew that Aunt Liu was actually a kind-hearted person, the others were slightly surprised.

Even if these people didn't openly bully Liu Yingying, they certainly gossiped about her behind her back.

In fact, given Liu Yingying's current fiery temper, she had every reason to refuse them entry.

But after everyone sat down, Liu Yingying said this.
