Chapter 2: Are you running away with someone?
Li Yiyi took two steps forward and noticed that there was silence behind her. She turned around and realized that the three of them had not caught up with her.
"Sister-in-law, can you light a fire? Please help me. I want to cook, but I don't know how to do it." She suddenly said.
Mrs. Jiang quickly came to her senses and said, "I know how to light a fire. I'll help you." After saying that, Mrs. Jiang quickly walked towards the kitchen.
"Third brother, are you cooking?" Jiang's mother asked in disbelief.
Li Yiyi smiled and replied, "I'm cooking. The two children are hungry, so I'm going to make some food for them."
"I know I was pretty lazy before, but I decided to change my ways."
Mother Jiang looked at her deeply, not knowing how much she believed her.
Mrs. Jiang was used to doing housework and she lit the fire in no time.
Seeing that nothing happened in this family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not plan to stay any longer.
On the way back to the field, Jiang Ersao looked at her eldest sister-in-law and mother-in-law beside her, bit her lip, and whispered, "Mom, sister-in-law, is the third brother's wife up to something bad again?"
At this point, Jiang Ersao slapped her thigh, which scared Jiang Dasao and Jiang's mother.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. What I meant is that this third sister-in-law is not going to pretend to be reformed in front of us, and then secretly leave the two children and Third Uncle and run away with someone when we are not paying attention."
"What nonsense are you talking about." Mrs. Jiang glanced at her mother-in-law who looked unhappy, and immediately warned her second brother's wife who was talkative.
Mrs. Jiang curled her lips and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. There was a widow in the next village who abandoned her three children and ran away with someone."
"My third uncle is in the army and doesn't come back for two or three years. It wouldn't be surprising if my third brother's wife really has this idea." Jiang Ersao said in a low voice.
At this time, Jiang's mother quickened her pace and ran to the village committee office.
Although she looked down on the third son's daughter-in-law at first, thinking that she was lazy and unworthy of her third son, but now, she has grandsons and granddaughters, and she doesn't want her two grandsons and granddaughters to be without a mother, and the third son to become a poor guy whose daughter-in-law ran away with someone else.
Li Yiyi, who was unaware that her family members mistook her for running away with someone, opened the lid of the pot, smelled the ham rice in the pot, and felt even hungrier.
But it’s no wonder, the original owner had been hungry for two or three days.
She scooped out three large bowls of rice and when she looked up, she saw two pairs of eager and greedy eyes popping out of the kitchen door.
"Go sit in the yard and get ready to eat," she shouted to the brother and sister.
When the brother and sister heard this, they immediately turned around and ran quickly towards the yard.
When she came out with two bowls of rice, she saw the two of them sitting in the yard, waiting in an orderly manner.
"Eat slowly, it's a little hot." Worried that they might get burned, Li Yiyi reminded them after putting the food down.
Although the two siblings were hungry, they were very obedient. They did not touch the rice in front of them until Li Yiyi brought out the third bowl of ham rice.
Seeing how sensible they were, Li Yiyi touched their little heads lovingly and said, "You can start eating now."
Following her announcement, the two siblings started to eat.
While eating, no matter how hot the ham rice was, the two kids were unwilling to spit out the rice in their mouths.
Just when the mother and her two children had almost finished their meal, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the house.
The two siblings who were eating happily were so scared when they saw someone coming in that they quickly hid the bowls in front of them behind their backs.
Li's mother came in and saw their actions. She cursed with an embarrassed look on her face, "You two ungrateful bastards, you didn't even call me when grandma came, and you hid the food. What's the matter? Are you afraid that grandma will eat your food?"
Li Yiyi looked at the woman's fierce face, frowned unhappily, and quickly remembered her identity. The person who came was none other than the original body's mother, and now her mother as well.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Seeing that she scared the two children like this, Li Yiyi pulled the two siblings behind her before asking her.
Mother Li walked forward and took a look at the white rice in her hand. There was something red on it. It smelled fragrant and had a hint of meat. You could tell at a glance that it was good stuff.
When she thought about the fact that her family had recently run out of food and this married girl actually kept such good things for herself, she became unhappy and cursed, "You stupid girl, I'm your mother, can't I come? And, you have such good things, why don't you take them back to your parents' home? Do you want to starve your brother and your younger brother to death?"
Mother Li, who was enjoying scolding, had no idea that the person standing in front of her was not the daughter whom she used to scold.
"This is my stuff. I can give it to you if I want to. I won't if I don't want to. Besides, didn't you say, mom, that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled? In this case, I am no longer a member of the Li family." Li Yiyi looked at Li's mother's greedy face and responded unhappily.
