It wasn't until she could no longer hear Liu Linjuan and Zhao Meilan's conversation that she realized what Liu Linjuan had said!

But she couldn't figure out what those words meant. Did they mean that Liu Linjuan knew she had fallen in love with her husband, or that she knew her purpose in coming here today was impure?

But very few people know that she has fallen in love with her husband! Only her sister-in-law, Zhou Xiaoya, knows!

How did she know? And what was the purpose of her visit today? No one else knows either! Where did things go wrong?

Zhao Meilan couldn't figure it out, but she felt that now was not the time to dwell on it, because she thought it would be better to find Zhou Xiaoya and ask her first.

And could it be that her sister-in-law told her that it's impossible? No, I have to go find her after work this afternoon and get to the bottom of this.

But little did Zhao Meilan know that her love for another woman's husband and her attempt to get closer to him were known not only to others but also to the hospital's top leaders.

Furthermore, even if she went to find Zhou Xiaoya in the afternoon, she wouldn't see her, because Zhou Xiaoya was no longer there. As for where she was, she probably would never know unless someone told her!

When the people inside the house saw Liu Linjuan and Sister Wu return, they knew the matter was resolved.

Because the leaders had to work in the afternoon, there was no alcohol on the table, and everyone left one after another after finishing their meal.

Zhou Tao didn't go home today because he had switched shifts with someone else and was working the night shift instead of the day shift. After helping Sister Wu tidy up the table, he went into the inner room and asked directly, "What did you and Zhao Meilan talk about outside the door, sister?"

"What else can we say? Let's just be blunt and say it directly!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tao asked in shock, "Why don't you just tell her, 'I know you like my man, please stay away from our house from now on!'"

"Am I that stupid? I didn't say that. I just said, 'Don't treat everyone else like fools!'"

"you mean."

"It's simple. Isn't she thinking about something she shouldn't be thinking about? Then I'll tell her, 'I know what you're thinking, but I won't say anything. Let's see what you do then.'"

"You've got a brilliant plan: so that whenever she sees you, she'll think of your husband, Mr. Li, and if you find out, she'll stay far away from you."

"No, I just want to know what other tricks she has up her sleeve. I'd love to see her put on a show like a clown all by herself!"

"That's true. Let's just watch her flaunt her charms for now, and then tell her that I knew your purpose from the beginning, and that I didn't say anything just to please myself. At that time, Zhao Meilan will probably go crazy?"

"I don't know if she'll go crazy, but I feel that since she dares to try to break up someone else's family, she has to bear the consequences. Otherwise, I'll suffer too much!"

"That's right. Even if it comes out in the future, and you didn't do anything, and all the blame is on her, no one else will sympathize with her!"

"Yes, that's what I think."

"This is the essence of winning without using any moves, yet it allows you to catch her off guard and cause her to capsize in a ditch!"

"That's why I told her not to treat everyone else like fools. Isn't it just like that old saying? Never underestimate anyone!"

"That's true. The more inconspicuous a person is, the more likely they are to have problems."

"Hey, our little Mianmian is awake!" Zhou Tao said, seeing the little baby lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), her big eyes wide open and turning around.

I woke up as soon as I heard about Zhao Meilan. I even got hungry after listening for a while, but I was too embarrassed to interrupt your conversation, otherwise I really would have listened to all the gossip!

But now that I've been discovered, isn't it time for me to eat? I'm starving.

"Ahhh"

What's wrong with her?

“It’s been at least two hours since her last meal. She’s probably hungry. You should feed her milk right away!” Zhou Tao said after thinking for a moment.

Liu Linjuan quickly picked up her baby to breastfeed. Seeing her daughter suckling so hard, her heart melted. She thought to herself, "If anyone dares to break up my family, I'll teach them a lesson they won't forget."

While I was eating, I listened to this, and I ended up hearing something big.

Looking up, he saw that Sister Zhou was still in the room, so he said, "Sister Zhou, starting tomorrow morning, you need to make Shen Dong and Shen Nan get up at 5:30 in the morning!"

"You mean you'll start teaching them tomorrow!"

"Yes! Although Shen Dong is not yet 10 years old, it is a bit late, but the key to martial arts is perseverance, so there is no problem!"

"Alright, I'll have them both come over first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Aren't you going to ask me how I plan to teach you?!"

"What are you asking? Teach them however you want, you won't harm them!"

Besides, even if I asked, I wouldn't know! So I'd rather not ask at all; it's better to just focus on logistical support!

"You trust girls that much!"

"I've known you for so many years, don't I know what kind of person you are?"

"That's good. Don't feel bad about it later and stop the girl from teaching them. No matter what they teach, the worst thing is having someone protect them!"

"I know and understand this, so don't worry! They say only by enduring hardship can one rise above others."

"Too,

"By the way, Sister Zhou, please prepare more safflower oil recently; you can't be without it."

"Okay, I understand. Anything else?"

"Sister Zhou, this is my plan: starting tomorrow, Shen Dong and Shen Nan will lead them in running. After three months of consistent training, they can begin martial arts training. However, before they start, we need to prepare medicine for Shen Dong, Shen Nan, and Shen Xi!"

"Medication? What kind of medication?"

"Sister Zhou, don't worry, it's not for eating, it's just for taking a bath!"

"Isn't this what people used to call a medicinal bath?"

"Yes, this is it!"

"But is it okay for Shen Xi to be so young?" Zhou Tao asked, puzzled.

"Don't worry, the medication is different for each age group. The one used for Shen Xi is milder, but it takes a little longer, six months. Shen Dong and Shen Nan only need three months!"

"That's alright!"

"As long as you agree!"

"What's wrong with that? You're doing it for their own good."

"That's good. In that case, go see Doctor Wang for medicine tomorrow, and let the three of them stay at our house starting tomorrow night!"

"ah?"

"I have to watch them take a bath tonight."

"Alright then!"

Why is practicing martial arts so difficult! But judging from what he said, what I saw on TV before wasn't all a lie after all!

This medicinal bath is not something that ordinary people can withstand. I wonder if I will have to take a bath myself when the time comes.

And so, Shen Dong and the other two began to live a life filled with the sounds of water and fire, because their mother would take Shen Dong running in the morning and watch over the three of them taking a medicinal bath at night.

However, I'm finally free from being watched every day, and I finally have some time to myself, though this time is really short.

I was sleeping soundly when I was suddenly awakened by a loud "howling" sound. I was about to burst into tears when I realized the voice sounded like Brother Shen Dong. It had been several days, why was he still making that noise? It sounded like someone was slaughtering a pig.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, he ignored it. Now that he was awake, he couldn't fall back asleep. He turned his eyes around and saw that no one was in the room. Everyone was outside watching Brother Chen Dong and the others take a medicinal bath!

That's really interesting. Well, not everyone can handle a medicinal bath. Right now, their families are probably watching them and holding them down, afraid that they won't be able to take it.

Most importantly, this medicinal bath has a time limit; if you don't soak for the full time, it's all wasted.

Having figured this out, while no one is home right now, quickly try contacting the "Open Sesame, Rise Higher and Higher" spatial ability.

...

I tried many methods but still couldn't get in touch with the space. It seemed hopeless, and I was about to give up when an unexpected event occurred.

I found myself in a pitch-black place and wondered where I was. I looked around but heard no sound and saw no light. I thought about getting out and then I found myself lying in the same spot.

Hearing his mother and Aunt Zhou talking outside, he knew he was at home and felt relieved.

That means I was just on the bed in the study of this space, and then it happened several more times. Then I used my mind to take out the blueberries that were in the space, and when I saw the blueberries in my hand, I immediately felt that heaven had not let me down.

Thank goodness! God hasn't forgotten me, otherwise life would be so hard!

In these extraordinary times, nothing is more important than food.

It is now 1951, although there are still several years before the Three Years of Natural Disasters.

But if I remember correctly, the first five-year planned economy period seems to have started in 1953, which means there were less than two years left.

From now on, everything will have to be done according to plan, and there won't be much left for ordinary people.

Furthermore, especially after 1956 when everything was subordinated to production and individual interests were replaced by collective interests, everything from food and drink had to be rationed. It was difficult to even eat meat; you couldn't buy it with money, you had to use either grain ration coupons or ration tickets.

In this era, whoever had the resources was like a king among men.

Another thing is that the grain ration book appeared around 1954. From that time on, grain began to be distributed according to quotas. Everyone had a certain amount of grain, regardless of whether you could eat your fill or not.

Furthermore, the government implemented significant measures regarding the supply of grain and oil, providing each household with a grain and oil ration booklet. With this booklet, one could buy more than one desired, or even purchase from other places.

At the same time, various daily necessities coupons such as grain coupons, oil coupons, coal coupons, bean coupons, cloth coupons, and meat coupons gradually appeared.

They have the same purchasing power as money, and are even more practical than money.

The practice of purchasing grain and oil with ration coupons and booklets has become deeply ingrained in people's lives.

Fortunately, things were better before the public-private partnership in 1956. People could buy some things without coupons, and even with ration coupons, they could buy a relatively wider variety of things.

In other words, if you wanted to save something, it was still possible to do so at least before 1958.

Furthermore, the supply in those days was not very high. Each household's grain and oil ration book typically provided an average of half a jin of peanut oil, 30 jin of rice (grade 3 rice, of poor quality), or other grains per month.

As for other items such as coal, soybeans, cloth, pork and other essential daily necessities, they also need to be supplemented with meat and oil during festivals.

These are all very specific; you can't just ask for as much as you want.

Furthermore, the grain and oil rations for each household vary depending on the industry, gender, and age, so how much one receives depends entirely on their individual capacity.
