"You just took a bundle of vegetables and want to eat meat?" Gao Qingqing, who was serving the dishes, replied.

She was helping in the kitchen, which was a lucrative job that could not be obtained without some connections. As she was from the bride's hometown, she was assigned to the kitchen job.

The one in charge of gifts was her husband, who knew the gifts given by everyone today. Only two Zhou brothers and sisters came, and they only gave a bundle of vegetables, which was so shabby.

When a banquet is held in the village, although giving gifts is voluntary and there is no standard, most people will give the same amount for the sake of face, and even if there is a difference, it will not be too obvious.

But there are also some people who try to take advantage of others. When they eat, the whole family comes to eat, and when they give gifts, they only give a small amount, which makes the host suffer.

Therefore, the villagers would put these people who took advantage of the situation at the same table, and the food they were served would certainly not be good.

Sitting at the same table with the Zhou brothers and sisters were people like Liu Qingju and Wang Cuihua who loved to take advantage. Some of them gave a few sprouted potatoes, some gave moldy sweet potatoes, and someone gave a few eggs, but when they were exposed to the sun, they turned out to be incomplete.

The local term for a "widowed egg" refers to an egg that has failed to hatch chicks. When you open it, it will most likely be rotten inside.

Not only do they take advantage of others, but they are also so immoral. It would be a relief for them if I could just give them some vegetables and radishes.

"Why can Li Xiyue sit at the main table and eat meat?" Zhou Yutong was not convinced.

Gao Qingqing held the tray in one hand and put her hands on her waist. "Doctor Li gave me five dollars and a new suit of clothes. He's also the benefactor who cured the groom. He should sit at the main table and eat the meat!"

Zhou Yutong didn't expect Li Xiyue to be so generous, but she came here today just to eat meat, so how could she just let it go? She had to eat meat.

"Even if our gifts are small, you can't just give us some radishes and cabbages. We are all guests, why treat us differently?"

Zhou Yunze couldn't hold back his anger anymore and pulled his sister back, "Xiaoxia, stop talking."

They only took a bundle of vegetables, and they were lucky to have something to eat, so there was no need to be picky.

"Why shouldn't I say anything? I have to say something since they treat me differently like this!" Zhou Yutong stood up and shouted.

Her shouting attracted the attention of the entire yard.

They caused trouble on such a happy day, and at Xu Xiangyang's house. Everyone admired the courage of the female educated youth.

Xu Xiangyang was helping to greet guests when he heard the noise and came over to ask, "What's going on?"

Gao Qingqing then told the story, "No one else said anything, but this female educated youth was the one who was causing all the trouble."

"Do you care?" Xu Xiangyang ignored Zhou Yutong and looked at Zhou Yunze beside him.

If Zhou Yunze, the elder brother, doesn't take care of it, then he will take care of it.

Zhou Yunze had long heard of Xu Xiangyang's prowess, and immediately said, "I'll take her back."

"I'm not leaving. I'm here as a gift. Why should I leave?" Zhou Yutong started to make a fuss.

Zhou Yunze forcibly pulled her away.

Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment and said, "Bring some food back for them."

My uncle is getting married today. Guests are welcome and we can’t let them go away hungry.

Gao Qingqing responded, picked up a bowl of cabbage and a bowl of rice and chased after him, "Xiangyang asked me to bring some back for you."

Zhou Yutong had already run away in anger. Zhou Yunze took the meal. Although the dish was only cabbage, it came with a large bowl of rice. He was grateful in his heart, "Thank Comrade Xiangyang for me."

"Okay, remember to return the bowl after you finish eating." Gao Qingqing was still satisfied with the young man Zhou Yunze. After giving him a reminder, she turned and left.

Zhou Yunze chased his sister with food in his hand, thinking that she would be happy to see the rice. However, not only was she not happy, she also got angry and smashed the bowl. Not only did the brother and sister not get to eat, they also had to pay with two bowls.

Zhou Yunze couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Zhou Yutong in the face.

Zhou Yutong covered her face with her hands, her eyes full of murderous intent. Her special ability was enough to transform into thumb-long branches, so she could still kill an unsuspecting boy.

But she still endured it. Zhou Yunze was her only relative here. With him around, at least he could help her with the work. If he died, she would have to do all the work alone.

She glared at Zhou Yunze and ran away.

Zhou Yunze was stunned for a long time. He seemed to see his sister's murderous eyes. Is this still his sister?

He picked up the food covered in mud from the ground, washed it with water, and ate it alone in the yard. The food had no taste after being washed and was mixed with some mud and sand, which made his teeth ache when he ate it.

Zhou Yunze felt a lump in his throat and finally couldn't hold back his tears.

After all, he is only a teenager. How can he stand his sister making such a fuss every day?

He didn't know who to talk to about his grievances.

After Xu Shanshan finished her meal, she packed some leftovers to eat in the evening. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Zhou Yunze lying on the table crying. She was at a loss for a moment.

Seeing the broken bowls on the ground and the mud and sand in the food on the table, she immediately realized that his sister had probably made a fuss again and knocked over the food.

She bit her lip and walked over, "Zhou Zhiqing..."

Seeing someone coming back, Zhou Yunze quickly wiped away his tears and forced a smile, "It's just that the sand blinded me."

"I know." Xu Shanshan placed the leftovers she had packed in front of him. "I still have some food here. You can eat it. Don't eat the ones with sand on them. Give them to Doctor Li's Xiaobai."

Xiaobai, who was chewing a bone at Li Xiyue's feet, said: "Who are you looking down on? I have plenty of meat and bones to eat, who wants your meal with sand in it?"

Although it is a dog, it is also a principled dog. It will not eat anything.

Zhou Yunze felt warmed by the rare concern and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, Xu Zhiqing, I will pay you back."
