Ma Xiulan saw what he was thinking: "Second and fourth, you must watch your father the whole time. If he runs away, none of you three can come back to sleep."
Zhao Xingjia and Zhao Xingye quickly pulled Zhao Youcai out to buy groceries. Now they had no place to sleep, so they had to sleep on the street.
Zhao Youcai remembered that he hadn't taken the money yet, so he turned around and picked up a dollar from the ground.
After the father and his two sons left, Ma Xiulan looked at Chen Zhenzhen, Zhang Zhaodi, and Zhao Xingfeng:
"You three, work together to clean up the house. Mop the floor, wipe the windows, clean the cabinets, and wash the dirty clothes. You have to finish it before dinner is ready."
Chen Zhenzhen, Zhang Zhaodi, and Zhao Xingfeng said in unison:
"Why shouldn't Xingmin work?"
"Why doesn't Third Sister work?"
Ma Xiulan gestured with a rolling pin in her hand:
"Why didn't you guys do anything when Xingmin was working before?"
"If you don't want to do it, get out now. If you can't finish it in a while, I'll take care of you."
Zhao Xingfeng screamed and ran back to the room, slamming the door shut and then putting the bolt behind it.
Chen Zhenzhen and Zhang Zhaodi looked at each other. Zhang Zhaodi thought Chen Zhenzhen was a tough person and would definitely not obey and work. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhenzhen took the lead in picking up the broom.
Zhang Zhaodi also hurried to grab the broom. She was pregnant and had to grab a light job.
Ma Xiulan ignored all this and called Xingmin out directly.
Zhao Yang saw his grandmother and aunt going out, and trotted after them.
He was frightened back by Ma Xiulan's raised slap.
Zhao Youcai bought some vegetables, carried back some honeycomb coal, and struggled to light the stove.
He wanted to order his two daughters-in-law to come and cook, but the daughters-in-law pulled their son to work in a hurry, fearing that they would be beaten if they didn't finish the work.
Ma Xiulan took Xingmin to a state-owned restaurant, where they each had a bowl of wontons and ordered a pig's trotter.
She and Xingmin are both very thin and their complexions are not up to par, so they need to eat some more.
Hurry up and finish your meal, because you have to supervise the work when you get home.
When Ma Xiu Lan returned home after eating and drinking, Zhao Youcai had already broken two bowls in his haste. Ma Xiu Lan took a rolling pin and hit him.
"You can't even cook properly, and you dare to break two bowls. You must have done it on purpose."
