But because he was afraid that his mother would hit him, he turned his anger towards Xingmin:
"Third brother, you are such a grown-up girl, how dare you fight with a child for food?"
Zhang Zhaodi saw that the second brother and his wife had taken the lead, so she thought that any advantage she could get was a good one:
"Besides, I'm pregnant at home."
Xingmin's face flushed, but when he saw his mother looking at him encouragingly, he mustered up the courage: "If Mom gives me food, I can eat it."
Ma Xiulan: "That's right, aren't the second and fourth children going to follow your father? If you want to eat meat, go find your father."
Zhao Youcai grimaced in pain:
"How can I afford to buy meat? Your mother took away the dozen dollars I just had in my pocket. She has all the money and asked me to buy meat to cook. My cooking is not tasty, so don't waste it."
Ma Xiulan looked like she was dreaming.
"That's the family's food expenses. If you don't divorce, don't you have to support the family?
What you owed me before was the child support you've paid to the children for the past 24 years. From now on, you're the one supporting the family. It doesn't matter if you don't have a salary. When the time comes and the money is insufficient, I'll borrow from your colleagues in your name. Just remember to pay it back when the time comes."
Zhao Youcai couldn't control his temper: "I cook, I support the family, and if I don't have enough money, I have to borrow money?"

You just spent a little time in my life, why are you complaining so much?
You are much better off than I was. At least the children are older and can help with housework, so you don't have to take care of them one by one.
You are so ungrateful and yet you still complain when you have it so easy.
Or I can bring my stepmother, your mother-in-law, over for you to serve!
I raised your brother back then, so you should raise one too. I don’t have a brother here, so I’ll bring a nephew over to raise for you.”
As she spoke, Ma Xiu Lan suddenly thought this was a good idea and immediately asked Zhao Xingmin to go to her mother's house.
Her stepmother was a notorious shrew. She had a miserable life under her and seldom visited her. However, she would still have people call her home during every holiday just to receive a gift from her.
Then those who haven't even sat down yet will be kicked out, saving a meal.
