"Yes, that's what Captain Gu said." Li Xiuxiu said in a low voice.
"This won't do! I don't agree!" Li Hongying was so angry that she was about to die.
Over the past year, she has made a lot of money by cooking and cleaning for Gu Ye's family. Not to mention the 25 yuan salary that Gu Ye gives her every month, just the fact that she either packs a few handfuls of rice or noodles to take home every day adds up to a lot, and at the end of the month, she can get half a bag.
Moreover, she didn't have to spend any money or use food coupons to buy this small half bag of rice and flour, so she was getting a free bargain.
In addition, Gu Ye also gave her money to buy vegetables and send them over every day. Then she had the final say on what vegetables to buy? The remaining money went into her pocket again.
Anyway, Jiang Yue was lazy and stupid, she just ate the food after it was cooked and never asked what dishes she bought.
Li Hongying has been living a very comfortable life relying on this extra income. Now she is suddenly told that her job is gone. How can she accept this?
"That little bitch Jiang Yue must have been gossiping in front of Captain Gu! Otherwise Captain Gu wouldn't have suddenly stopped me from cleaning and cooking!" Li Hongying became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She glanced around and saw Ningning following behind Li Xiuxiu's legs, so she pulled Ningning over.
"Ningning, tell me, did Jiang Yue tell your father something?" Li Hongying had a vicious expression on her face and said in a harsh tone, "Did Jiang Yue not let me go?"
Ningning was so scared that she stepped back, her little face turning pale with fear.
"Speak!" Li Hongying grabbed Ningning's thin shoulders. Seeing that Ningning didn't speak, she shook Ningning hard.
Ningning burst into tears.
"Sister! Ningning is still a child, don't be angry with her!" Li Xiuxiu hurriedly tried to pull Ningning over.
"You stupid girl, you are the only one protecting this little fool! Ask her about what happened last night!" Li Hongying didn't dare to really hurt Ningning, so she took her anger out on Li Xiuxiu and pinched Li Xiuxiu's arm hard. Only then did she calm down a little.
Li Xiuxiu endured the pain and pulled Ningning aside to coax her, "Ningning, don't cry. Aunt Xiu wants to ask you, what did your family eat last night?"
Ning Ning sobbed and replied, "Eat French fries."
"French fries? What are those?" Li Hongying had never heard of French fries before.
"Is this what your father made for you?" Li Xiuxiu didn't know what French fries were. She only cared about whether it was Gu Ye who made the meal.
Li Xiuxiu was angry all night. Jiang Yue was really outrageous. She actually let the man in the family cook for her. In their village, such a lazy woman would be beaten three times a day by the man!
Moreover, Captain Gu is such a high-ranking official, but he has to cook and wash dishes. It is simply outrageous!
Like her brother-in-law, he is not a cadre and it is impossible for him to cook at home.
"Mom did it!" Ningning was still sobbing. The place where Li Hongying had just grabbed her was so painful, but she didn't dare to say it.
"Jiang Yue? You said Jiang Yue cooks at home?" Li Hongying sneered and was the first one not to believe it. "That lazy guy can cook? Haha, it's so funny!"
"Little fool, did Jiang Yue ask you to come out and say that?"
Ningning blinked, not knowing how to answer.
Li Hongying took it for granted. Only then did she notice that Ningning's braids were different today. "Hey, Ningning, who braided your braids today? They look so pretty!"
Ningning was most happy today because her mother braided her hair into a beautiful braid. She touched her hair and whispered, "My mother braided it!"
Li Hongying got angry when she heard this. "Mom made it up! You little fool, have you been drugged by Jiang Yue? Have you forgotten how Jiang Yue beat you before? You should be able to lie with some credibility!"
Ning Ning shrank back.
The more Li Hongying looked at Ningning, the more she disliked her. She winked at Erniu and Sanniu who were playing in the mud in the yard. Erniu and Sanniu rushed over and pulled Ningning's hair.
"You little fool, your braid is so ugly! Let me take a look!" Erniu reached out and hugged Ningning.
Ningning hurriedly tried to protect her head, but Erniu and Sanniu were as strong as calves. Ningning was no match for them. In a few strokes, her braids were torn apart and her hair was covered with mud.
"Don't cry! Otherwise I'll lock you up in the toilet!" Erniu saw Ningning was about to cry, and immediately grabbed her pigtail to threaten her.
Ningning was so scared that she was shaking. She quickly looked to Li Xiuxiu for help. She didn't want to be locked in the toilet.
"Ningning, your brother Erniu is just joking with you!" Li Hongying looked at Ningning's messed up hair and the way she was trying not to cry, and her mood improved. "If I don't want to lock you up in the toilet, you are not allowed to tell your dad what we just said when you go home! Got it?"
Ningning nodded fearfully. She knew that if she didn't agree, she would be locked up in the toilet by Erniu and Sanniu. It was smelly and dark inside, and there were flies and maggots. She didn't want to stay there.
"Sister, isn't this too bad for Ningning?" Li Xiuxiu felt that Li Hongying had gone a bit too far, but she didn't dare to say it.
"What's wrong with that!" Li Hongying glanced at the skinny and petite Ningning, curled her lips and snorted coldly, "Captain Gu is a grown man, and he still expects us to help him take care of his children! Even if he knows, so what? It's normal for children to fight with each other! Besides, this little fool is not Captain Gu's biological child, so he must be inferior in every way!"
Li Xiuxiu used a towel to wipe Ningning's face. When Ningning heard Li Hongying say that she was not Gu Ye's biological daughter, fear flashed in her big eyes.

When Jiang Yue arrived at the vegetable market, the sun was already a little high. She thought she was early since it was just a little after seven o'clock. But after walking around, she found that many stalls had already closed.
It seems that going to bed early and getting up early is the characteristic of this era. She has to adapt to it as soon as possible, otherwise she won’t be able to buy vegetables.
