Chapter 167: Cracks



Mrs. Li was eventually kicked out of the brigade headquarters.

She couldn't help cursing.

After all, if I can’t bring back high-quality seeds, my title as team leader will be ruined!

Thinking about how bad Song Xingzhi's attitude towards him was, it must be because of Li Hongjuan!

Because Li Hongjuan didn't have a good relationship with Zhang Chunxue and the others! That's why this happened!

The more Mrs. Li thought about it, the angrier she became. She simply turned around and walked towards Zhongjia Village.

It was almost noon and smoke was already rising from Zhongjia Village.

Mrs. Li rushed to the gate of Zhang Chunxue's family's courtyard in a rage.

But when she arrived, she was also stunned.

After Zhang Chunxue and his family separated, it was the first time that Mrs. Li came here. She saw that the yard had been divided into two parts. The original large yard was very spacious and bright, but now it looked a bit cramped.

Mrs. Li knew that they had separated, but she didn't expect Zhang Chunxue to be so ruthless.

"Is there something wrong with Zhang Chunxue's brain? These three are her biological sons! She doesn't even want her own sons anymore?" Mrs. Li curled her lips. "I don't know what the point of having that money-losing daughter is!"

She quickly walked to the front door and started banging on it.

"Hongjuan! Hongjuan! Chengfa! Come and open the door for me!"

Li Hongjuan has been sulking with Zhong Cheng all day.

Zhong Chengyi went out early this morning and no one knew where he went. Zhong Chengfa still had to go to the fields to work, so he had breakfast with Li Hongjuan.

Of course, breakfast was also made by Li Hongjuan.

Li Hongjuan felt a little proud when she saw Zhong Chengfa just eating breakfast.

Why are you being so arrogant? In the end, you still have to eat the food I cook!

She was certain that Zhong Chengfa could not live without her.

At noon, Li Hongjuan prepared dinner again.

After breakfast, Zhong Chengfa didn't ask her to go to the fields. After all, he knew that Li Hongjuan was lazy and greedy, and she wouldn't go even if he asked her, so he didn't say anything at all.

Li Hongjuan felt even more proud.

Sure enough, as long as she was not happy, Zhong Chengfa had to compromise in the end.

As a woman, why would she go to the fields? Although Zhong Guosheng had died when she married in, she had heard that when Zhong Guosheng was still alive, he would never let Zhang Chunxue go to the fields!

Things were not like now at that time. Everyone was required to go to the fields and earn work points!

But Zhong Guosheng tried every means to arrange lighter work for Zhang Chunxue because he was afraid that she would be tired.

But in her opinion, Zhang Chunxue was really stupid. She heard that Zhong Guosheng didn't allow her to go to the fields, but she insisted on going to the fields... She didn't even know how to enjoy herself!

Li Hongjuan thought that since Zhong Guosheng could do it, then Zhong Chengfa, as Zhong Guosheng’s eldest son, could certainly do it too!

However, even if she didn't go to the fields, she still had to prepare meals at home, so she estimated the time when Zhong Cheng would send the message back and started cooking.

For this purpose, she also specially prepared a pot of white rice.

Li Hongjuan had just steamed the cooked rice when she heard a knock on the door.

She reached out to close the lid, wiped her hands, walked out of the kitchen, and saw Mrs. Li with her head sticking out of the courtyard gate.

Li Hongjuan's expression changed immediately.

She has not forgotten the various tortures she suffered at the hands of Mrs. Li when she was at her parents' home.

After calming down, Li Hongjuan walked over and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing at my house?"

"I can't let me take a look!" Mrs. Li glared at Li Hongjuan with her slightly mean triangular eyes. "Why don't you open the door and let me in? What? Are you trying to stop me outside?"

Li Hongjuan really didn't want her to come in, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, I just want to say... well, the food I cook at home is only enough for our family of three..."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately started cursing, "You think I'm here to get something for free? With your limited cooking skills, I don't even want to eat it if you want to treat me to a meal!"

Li Hongjuan was relieved and opened the gate.

Who would have thought that as soon as Mrs. Li came in, she rushed straight to the kitchen: "You won't even let me in. I don't know what good things you made!"

She quickly walked to the simple kitchen, suddenly lifted the lid of the pot, and smelled the fragrance of rice.

"Oh my! You're talking about rice!" Mrs. Li couldn't help swallowing her saliva. "Looks like I'm in for a treat today!"

Li Hongjuan's expression changed immediately: "Sister-in-law! I didn't make much...it's just enough for our family of three..."

Mrs. Li immediately rolled her eyes: "Then why don't you and Chengfa just eat less?"

She looked at Li Hongjuan with a sarcastic look on her face: "You can't just leave your family here and not even offer them food, right?"

Li Hongjuan opened her mouth, speechless.

Mrs. Li pulled out a stool and sat down beside her, not forgetting to instruct her: "Hurry up and cook! The rice will be cooked soon!"

"Remember, I love eggs. If you have eggs at home, make me some egg soup!"

Li Hongjuan was getting ready to cook with a frustrated look on her face.

She went back to her room, opened the cupboard, looked at the three eggs inside, and took one out dejectedly.

As soon as the dish was cooked, Zhong Chengfa came back, carrying Zhong Hongqing who had gone to play in the fields.

As soon as he entered the yard and saw Mrs. Li sitting in the yard, Zhong Chengfa's face changed.

When Li Hongjuan returned to her parents' home before, he was often troubled by Mrs. Li when he went to see her.

"Why is sister-in-law here?" His tone was a little unhappy.

Mrs. Li's triangular eyes scanned him up and down before she spoke in a shrill voice, "I had something to do at the brigade headquarters, so I just stopped by to take a look. I didn't expect Hongjuan to insist on keeping me for dinner..."

Li Hongjuan in the kitchen moved her lips.

She cursed Mrs. Li to death in her heart, but she still looked submissive on the surface.

Zhong Chengfa's face darkened and he immediately walked into the simple kitchen. He saw Li Hongjuan making egg soup.

Smell it again, the aroma of rice!

Zhong Chengfa opened the lid of the pot and saw the white rice. He immediately became angry: "Li Hongjuan! It's fine if you just mess around at home, but now you're trying to support others! You're wasting my food!"

"I work so hard all day and can't even afford a single bite of rice, and now your sister-in-law is here you're eager to make rice, right?" Zhong Chengfa's face was gloomy and terrifying. "You're using my family's food to fill your mother's family's?"

Li Hongjuan quickly explained: "No, I, I wanted to make white rice for you..."

Zhong Chengfa laughed: "Li Hongjuan, you are a devil! Do you think I, Zhong Chengfa, am stupid?"

"You used to rush to bring back whatever you had to your parents' home... You gave the delicious food to your nephew instead of giving it to Hongqing..."

"Since you like to subsidize your parents so much..."
