When Li Miaomiao finished cooking the braised pork, not only the people in the yard but also the people passing by nearby could smell the fragrance.
"Oh my god, why does it smell so good? Who's making braised pork?"
"From the smell, that's the Pei family's old house over there. There's only one person living there, and that must be Guoan's wife. I heard she went into the county town today and brought back a lot of things. She must have bought some meat."
"No wonder, the cooking skills are amazing, the braised pork is so fragrant."
"How can braised pork not be delicious? But Guoan's wife is too extravagant. She went to the county town and bought so many things. She doesn't know how to save money. In the future, they, an orphan and a widow, will have to rely on the little food and money from the family division to survive. She doesn't know how to save money. Don't come to me to borrow food when there is a famine in the future."
"Your worries are unnecessary. Even if we need to borrow grain, the Pei family is not without people. We can't borrow it from your family."
"Who can say for sure? I'm worried about the child. With such an unreliable mother, who knows what life will be like in the future."
"You don't have to worry about that. Besides, everyone in the village knows that Li Miaomiao is capable and can endure hardships better than men. She followed a group of grown men to open up wasteland, and she earned as much work points as others. There are only mother and son in her family, so they can afford to eat meat occasionally. In my opinion, you are jealous of Li Miaomiao's good life, so you are here to say sour words. If you have the ability, you can also learn from Li Miaomiao to open up wasteland, and your family can also eat meat."
Although some people are jealous of Li Miaomiao, there are also people who speak up for her. Li Miaomiao's efforts these days are not in vain. When the villagers talk about her, they express more admiration.
"Tsk, it's not like I don't have men at home, so why should I work so hard to open up new land?"
Aunt Wang was touched by someone's secrets. She said something in a bad mood and left in a hurry. Then she turned around and talked about the matter with her elder sisters.
"You said I was worried about her, how could you live like this? Some people just don't understand."
Li Miaomiao didn't know that the whole village knew about her cooking of braised pork.
When Zhou Fang heard that Li Miaomiao had made braised pork, her face naturally couldn't be happy, because Li Miaomiao lived such a comfortable life.
Originally, she thought that after the family split up, Li Miaomiao's life would be miserable, but now her life is getting better and better. Not only can she open up wasteland and earn work points like men, but now she can even eat braised pork.
"Humph, I've said it before, Li Miaomiao is lazy and greedy. I thought she'd changed now, but it seems she's a dog that can't change its nature. If she squanders all the money and food she has, don't even think about asking us to help her in the future!"
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Why is she spending so lavishly now, living a more comfortable life than anyone else, yet letting others clean up her mess?"
"In short, forget it! I won't lend her a cent. But if I don't lend her, my good father-in-law and mother-in-law may not agree. They think Pei Yifan is a villain more important than anything else. They might even sacrifice their own money."
"That's really possible. You don't know, but I saw your mother-in-law twice sneaking over to your old house with a basket. She was probably delivering something to Li Miaomiao."
"Are you telling the truth?"
When Zhou Fang heard this, she immediately became alert like a fighting cock.
"This is fake, and I'm not the only one who saw it. Some people even smelled the aroma of fried eggs and said it was very fragrant."
When Zhou Fang heard this, the anger on her face almost overflowed, and she was full of unwillingness.
Why is this old man so partial? Is it possible that they only have one daughter-in-law and one grandson?
It has been so long since the family split up, but the old man has never given any subsidy to the eldest wife. He even nitpicked when she ordered vegetables from the vegetable garden, saying that she picked too much and that the vegetables were not meant for the eldest wife's family to eat.
"Looking at you, you really don't know about this. Your mother-in-law is really too partial."
"That's right, those old guys. They're so proud now. Let's see in a few years, when they're too old to walk and need someone to take care of them, will I pay any attention to them?"
"It's true. Every family has its own problems. It's not easy for you either, meeting such a biased mother-in-law."
Zhou Fang felt even more hurt after hearing this. She wanted to go back and fight with the old man.
But she could only think about this, because she was her mother-in-law after all, and now the family had been divided. Even if she wanted to blame the biased old thing, it was obviously unreasonable.
When Old Mrs. Pei came back from work and met Zhou Fang, she saw her standing there with a dead face, her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes.
Now that the family has been divided, Mrs. Pei is too lazy to argue with her eldest daughter-in-law and just pretends not to see it.
Seeing that Mrs. Pei had nothing to do with her, Zhou Fang snorted again.
When Chen Xuexiang came in and saw Zhou Fang like this, she shrank her neck. She knew this sister-in-law too well and knew that she was just trying to cause trouble.
Daya and Erya also knew the character of their aunt-in-law. Who had offended her again?
Mrs. Pei originally didn't want to argue with Zhou Fang, but Zhou Fang was going too far. Mrs. Pei was not afraid of Zhou Fang and immediately got angry: "Why are you so arrogant? Do I owe you something? If you don't want to live here, get out. Even if we split up the family, it's not your turn as a daughter-in-law to show me your displeasure!"
"Mom, how dare I show you my displeasure? I'm a daughter-in-law who is not liked by others."
Weird and sarcastic, Mrs. Pei can't stand Zhou Fang's bad habits
"If you know I don't like you, just stay away from me. Don't act like a demon in front of me. You're already ugly, and you have a donkey face. Are you trying to give me nightmares?"
"You damn old woman, don't think that just because you are my mother-in-law, I have to endure your anger."
"Sister-in-law, don't talk to Mom like that. It's not nice!"
Chen Xuexiang didn't want to provoke her sister-in-law, but the incident was happening right in front of her, and she couldn't pretend not to see it. If the child's father knew that her sister-in-law treated her mother-in-law like this and she didn't do anything about it, he would definitely be angry.
"What's good or bad about it? You actually speak up for her. Don't you know that your good mother-in-law is partial to the old house? She gives them delicious food every day. What's your business?"
Chen Xuexiang was speechless after hearing Zhou Fang's words.
Mrs. Pei finally understood
"So this is why you came here to me. Well, it's none of your business! Even if I'm partial, it's my own stuff. The family has been divided, and each family has their own way. No one can tell me who I want to subsidize!"
Mrs. Pei was so secretive at first, but she actually anticipated the reaction of the eldest son's wife when she found out.
"I can't control it, but mom, I really feel sorry for you and dad. Whatever delicious food you have, you always think of the second daughter-in-law and her son. You send it to them, afraid that they won't have a good meal. But they are eating the delicious braised pork, but not thinking of you." (Monthly ticket thirty plus more)
