Li Yuanlin roared and darted away, only to be blocked by his two adorable nephews.
"Uncle, what shameful thing have you done?"
"Uncle, just confess! Did you steal the food meant for Great-Grandma?"
The bewildered looks in Li Jiaming and Li Jiaxuan's eyes stung Li Yuanlin's fragile heart.
You brat, it's one thing to watch your uncle's fun, but to come and sabotage him is outrageous.
"Slap!" Just as Li Yuanlin was about to argue, his father slapped him across the face and sent him running away.
"I will come back..."
"Pfft!" Liu Cuihua didn't know whether to vomit blood or burst out laughing, and handed the large bowl to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, try it, it's delicious!"
“Oh…” A glint of light flashed in Grandma Li’s old eyes: “Cuihua, we can’t just take things from Mo Niangzi’s family for nothing. They’re an orphan and a widow, and they have a hard life.”
“Look at what Mother is saying, do you think your daughter-in-law is such an unreasonable person? Cough cough... I exchanged it with something, Mother, please eat with peace of mind.” Liu Cuihua’s eyes flickered slightly.
Grandma Li, being a shrewd woman, guessed what was going on: "Cuihua, what did you trade for it? We don't have anything valuable at home."
"Oh, Mother, it's not anything good either, it's just... it's just... all of us men are putting in a lot of hard work to help them clear land..."
Liu Cuihua lowered her eyes, her voice growing softer as she spoke.
The three generations of Li Changgeng's family, who were innocently caught in the crossfire, were speechless.
Grandma Li slapped her thigh: "Great!"
puff!
Liu Cuihua raised her head with a smile, glancing at the men in the family with a smug look: "What's with the arrogance? So what if you're strong?"
Li Changgeng: "..."
What you said makes perfect sense; I am speechless.
Li Yuanfeng: "..."
Mom is awesome, whatever you say goes.
Li Jiaming and Li Jiaxuan: "..."
Grandma is the boss, and with Great-Grandma backing them up, men are just there to be bullied.
Grandma Li smiled, how could she eat alone? She gave some to her two great-grandchildren. Her grandson and son each took a bite, and seeing that less than a third of the bowl was left, her old face fell. "Just eat it all..."
The next morning, Bai Yueniang stayed home to look after the children, while Mo Qingcheng took Shangguan Yichen in an oxcart to town.
After Liu Cuihua finished her meal, she brought the men and women over and explained their purpose. Bai Yueniang was very surprised and quickly refused, saying, "Sister-in-law, Sister Mo went to town to look for someone..."
"What? You look down on your sister-in-law? Whatever, where did your family clear land yesterday? Today, all the men in my family are coming to help out for a day. Don't say anything, or don't call me sister-in-law..."
Without allowing any further explanation, Liu Cuihua turned around and exchanged a glance with her husband, giving him a knowing look that said, "Let's see what I have to say."
Li Changgeng nodded silently and instructed his two sons to clear the land for Mo Qingcheng's house.
Sure enough, when other families in the village saw it, rumors started spreading within half a day.
"Hey, have you heard? Some of the men from Village Chief Li's family went to clear land for the Mo fox spirit's family?"
"Are others blind? Can't they see this? Is Liu Cuihua stupid? Isn't this inviting trouble?"
"Who says otherwise? With Mo Hu Li's man not home, her ability to seduce men is truly extraordinary."
"Who says otherwise? Li Changgeng's daughter-in-law ran away; is he after that vixen?"
"You probably don't know, do you? Last night, Li Changgeng's youngest son, Lin Ge'er, went to the vixen's house..."
"Really?"
"Of course it's real, even more real than pearls!"
"Pshaw! Two vixens..."
"Haha, this is going to be good..."
Liu Cuihua arrived a little late, having gone home to fetch some water, when she unexpectedly encountered a group of gossipy women on the way, instantly becoming furious.
"Damn it, who's gossiping?"
