Old Mrs. Lu followed in again and distributed food, but this time she distributed even less, only a handful of beans.
"If you don't work, eat less."
Chen Wu could find a way to earn more money to support herself, but skipping meals was out of the question, after all, she hadn't eaten lunch. "Mom, the doctor said that if you faint again, you'll have to get a nutritional injection."
"If I don't eat enough, I can't guarantee that I won't faint again."
Old Mrs. Lu was so angry that her heart was beating fast.
"Mom, I fainted and can't work. Let's sit down together as a family and talk about this and see what to do, but you can't stop me from eating."
Then Shen Wu asked Xu Yin: "Enemy, don't you think so?"
Xu Yin nodded promptly.
Seeing how well the two of them worked together, Old Lady Lu subconsciously asked, "Are you two really enemies?"
Why does she think she is the enemy?
"What else? But we are enemies, and we still have to eat." Chen Wu said as a matter of course: "If it weren't for the food, who would care about her."
Xu Yin nodded again.
Mrs. Lu...
I always feel like something is wrong, but I also feel like what he said makes sense.
"Forget it, Mom, just put this down. That's all. At worst, I can sneak some while I'm cooking. If it's not enough, I'll randomly pick a lucky person to go hungry."
Old Mrs. Lu confirmed that the third son married this daughter-in-law just to make her angry.
It’s okay to let others starve, but you can’t let the man in the family starve. Old Mrs. Lu angrily took out some more food.
Before leaving, he told Shen Wu: "Don't eat secretly."
"Mom, look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"
Shen Wu had a pleasant voice and a pretty face, but to Old Lady Lu it sounded like a devil's voice. In the end, she didn't even have the strength to speak. She left the kitchen and saw a dog coming into the house looking for food.
"You have a dog but no one to feed it, get out of here!"
Xu Yin added more firewood, looked at Chen Wu and said, "I always feel that she is making indirect accusations."
Chen Wu didn't care: "You can scold me if you want, it won't hurt you."
Nowadays, few families can eat meat. After Chen Wu came for a few days, they ate meat three times. Once was the rabbit meat hunted by Lu Xuan, once was pheasant meat, and then fish. On weekdays, it was normal to eat whatever vegetables were available in the vegetable garden.
Most steamed buns are made of two-grain flour, corn flour and sorghum flour. Families with the means will add a little white flour.
Tonight's meal is beans, steamed buns made of two-grain flour, and cornmeal porridge.
Chen Wu’s cooking tastes good, but that’s limited to the fact that she can cook the same ingredients much better than others. Even if she cooks the same ingredients better, the beans still don’t taste like meat.
The atmosphere at the table was a bit subdued today.
Everyone was eating with their heads down.
Long Yujiao looked at Chen Wu across from her and whispered, "Third sister-in-law, are you okay? When I was recording work points today, I heard that you fainted from exhaustion."
She looked concerned.
No one had mentioned it before, but she took the initiative to bring it up. Shen Wu didn't seem to care and was using her as a scapegoat.
As expected, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Wu.
As the person involved, Shen Wu was much calmer than the others. She swallowed her food before looking up: "Long Zhiqing, are you concerned about me?"
Shen Wu's tone was soft and sincere, but she didn't answer her at all. Instead, she threw a question to her.
Long Yujiao didn't notice anything wrong: "Of course."
"Since you care about me, let's do something practical. How about this? I'll take over your scorekeeper job." Chen Wu stared at her with her big eyes.
Suddenly.
The table was quiet.
Long Yujiao's smile froze on her face. It was not easy for her to get the job of scorekeeper, so how could she give it to someone else? She couldn't do the work in the fields. She came from the city and had never done farm work.
After a moment of silence, Shen Wu was surprised and said, "So Long Zhiqing only expressed his concern for me verbally, but he didn't actually care about me?"
He looked as if to say, "I must have misjudged you."
"Then don't say it next time, otherwise, I'll think you're laughing at me."
…
The dining table was extremely quiet, even Old Lady Lu was silent. She looked between Long Yujiao and Shen Wu, and her heart softened when she saw Long Yujiao's fair, gentle, and elegant face.
This was the daughter-in-law he had chosen at first sight. He coughed and said, "Talk less while eating."
Shen Wu said nothing more and lowered her head to continue eating.
"Puchi hahahahaha."
Lu Xiaoliu couldn't help laughing, his shoulders shook uncontrollably as he lowered his head.
Old Mrs. Lu glared at him.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
He laughed like a madman, almost laughing like a donkey.
In the end, it was only when Old Man Lu knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks that Lu Xiaoliu covered his mouth and physically stopped himself from laughing.
He also winked at Chen Wu.
Shen Wu had a good impression of Lu Xiaoliu and also winked back.
A low cough came from beside me.
After dinner, Li Ping and Wang Hua went to wash the dishes. Old Man Lu looked at his sons and tapped his pipe: "Don't leave yet, let's have a meeting."
Li Ping was about to come out with her bowl, but she stopped when she heard the voice. Then she put the bowl down and said with a wry smile, "I'm also a member of the family. I have a meeting first. I'll have this bowl later."
As he said this, he pulled a handful of Wang Hua.
Seeing this, Wang Hua thought for a moment and said, "My husband is in the county town, so I'll listen too."
Old Man Lu nodded slightly.
His gaze fell on Lu Xuan and Lu Ye: "Everyone's rations are limited. If your two wives don't go to work, what will happen to the work points?"
Old Lady Lu frowned, her brows so tight that they could pinch a fly to death. "How can you really not go to work? Go to the fields and exercise more. You have to do it even if you can't."
