At five o'clock in the morning, Li Ying and Zhao Li were already busy.
The two men could not be relied upon, so for the sake of a better life in the future, they gritted their teeth and came to work for the two elders of the Fu family early every morning.
This kind of life has lasted for a month. Even Fu Manshan and Jiang Fengxia were a little surprised. They didn't expect them to be able to hold on for so long.
In the morning they clean the chicken coop and pigpen, and clear the dust in the yard. After work they cut grass for the pigs, and even the toilet is cleaned by them.
They worked very hard to get food and drink for the two elders. Over the past month, the two of them lost a lot of weight, and the children at home also lost weight. They wanted to let the children eat at their grandparents' house, but Jiang Fengxia gave them a cold look and didn't even let them into the house.
Fu Baoer had actually woken up a long time ago. She was wondering how long her adoptive mother and second aunt could hold out before exploding.
It was still dark, and Heiwa was lying in the yard acting as a supervisor. Whenever Li Ying and Zhao Li wanted to go to the kitchen, he would stand up silently and stare at them with his black eyes.
Li Ying was extremely annoyed and waved the big broom in her hand vigorously. "You old fools, you are so cruel! I will sweep, I will sweep hard, I will sweep you to death!"
Zhao Li couldn't help feeling tired when she heard what Li Ying said. She had never done such work at home.
"Yingzi, will this trick work? It's been a month, and your Bao'er can already lick the broth, but we haven't even seen a trace of him!"
Fubaoer was a little happy. She was more than six months old and could finally eat human food!
When talking about her daughters, Li Ying was even more furious. She wanted Zhaodi and Pandi to do some work, but Jiang Fengxia pinched her waist and pointed at her nose and scolded her for a long time. She was so embarrassed!
That damn Baoer was still giggling beside me.
"You damned girl, I'll sell you out sooner or later," Li Ying said with a gloomy face, looking at Heiwa lying at the doorway of the main house, "and this dead dog, I'll cut it up and make soup with it!"
Heiwa turned his head away and didn't bother to pay attention to her. When he heard the movement behind him, he quickly stood up and wagged his tail to greet Fu Xiuzhi who had just gotten up.
My aunt is the most gentle and it likes her the most.
Fu Xiuzhi touched Heiwa's head and said, "Good boy, I'll go cook for you."
"Hey, Xiuzhi'er, you're up. What are you doing this morning? Do you want your sister-in-law to help you?" Li Ying came over with a licking face and wanted to follow her to the kitchen.
Fu Xiuzhi smiled silently and didn't say anything. There was nothing in the kitchen. All the delicious food and drinks had been put away by her mother, so she was not afraid of them seeing them.
Seeing that neither the man nor the dog stopped her, Li Ying immediately squeezed into the kitchen.
Fu Xiuzhi skillfully boiled water in a pot, took out the noodles, made some vegetable and egg noodles, and heated up some mung bean meatballs left over from the Chinese New Year.
It was just a simple meal for them, but for Li Ying and Zhao Li, it was much better than whole grain pancakes.
"Dear, it's so delicious, your parents are really willing to spend money on it." Li Ying said as she went to pick up the bowl, "I'll help you, I'll help you!"
Fu Xiuzhi slapped Li Ying's hand away and said, "Sister-in-law, go home and cook. My brother and Chengcai are waiting for dinner."
"Woof!" Heiwa warned in a low voice.
Li Ying reluctantly withdrew her hand and gave Zhao Li a look.
"Xiuzhi, if you don't go down a little, your nephew is in the growing stage and he's still in school..."
"Sister-in-law, if you want to eat, go home and eat by yourself. I heard that my aunt just sent you a lot of food. I'm sure you won't need any of our two people."
Zhao Li stopped talking. Her family's conditions were not particularly good, but her mother loved her and occasionally sent her some gifts, which were all saved from her teeth.
Li Ying felt a pang of jealousy in her heart, "Then get some for me. You know my family's situation. Chengcai is still young, and your third brother's leg is just healed, so he needs nutrition too."
Fu Xiuzhi picked up the rice plate and walked into the house without looking back. "Bao'er is even younger than Chengcai. She can't even drink a mouthful of your milk. Why don't you provide your daughter with nutrition?"
"That girl's movie is worthless..."
Zhao Li pinched Li Ying to stop her from saying anything else, "Alright, let's go. They don't want to give us food."
"Second sister-in-law, if these annoying girls were gone, would our parents only be able to love their grandson?"
Li Ying's words made Zhao Li feel a little scared. The weather in early spring was still too cold and she got goose bumps all over her body.
"Yingzi, what do you want to do?"
Li Ying glanced at Zhao Li with a forced smile, "Sister-in-law, I know what you're thinking, but you also saw that our parents hid the money and used tricks to separate us from the family. We ended up with nothing but a shabby house. Are you willing to accept this?"
Unreconciled.
But Zhao Li was a little scared.
"If we sell these girls, not only will we have money, but our parents will also love only their grandchildren. What a good deal."
"That's your own daughter, and...and this is illegal. The police will arrest her."
"What are you afraid of? We are not selling them to human traffickers. When the police come, we can just say that we are giving them to our relatives to raise. Who can do anything about it?" Li Ying didn't take it seriously. She knew that countless children had been sold in her village, and she had never seen the police arrest anyone.
Zhao Li thought about it for a long time and felt that it was not a matter of selling her own child, and she would not be blamed if anything happened, so she did not refuse.
"Let's sell Zhaodi first. The girl is grown up, able to work, and fair-skinned. Someone should be willing to marry her." Li Ying was very dissatisfied with her eldest daughter. Now that she had grown stronger, she even dared to talk back to her.
"The most important thing here is to find a way to get rid of that dog Heiwa," Zhao Li said in a low voice. "My Chengru said that Zhaodi has Heiwa pick her up and drop her off every day, so we can't find a chance to do anything."
Li Ying naturally knew this, "There's no rush for this. We have to find a way to prevent others from suspecting us. I'll find time to go back to my parents' home in a couple of days and ask my eldest brother for help.
During this period, we still have to please those two old men. If we persevere, good days will come soon."
"And Xiuzhi, it's not a good thing for her to stay at home all the time. Let's find a man for her. That way, her parents will have no one around them, and it will be okay for her not to go home." Zhao Li felt that her thoughts were very comprehensive.
Li Ying nodded. When there were only two old people left at home, wouldn’t they be at their mercy?
But where to find a man?
Li Ying thought about it and decided to go back to her parents' home to find someone. Her brother knew a lot of friends and he would definitely be able to pick one out. If Fu Xiuzhi didn't agree, then she would have to use force. This woman would behave herself after a few beatings.
"Leave this matter to me, and you are responsible for dealing with Heiwa." Li Ying was full of confidence.
Zhao Li had no objection, she had disliked the dog for a long time.
The two of them looked at each other knowingly and said, "Let's do it!"
At this time, Fu Baoer had not yet realized how vicious her mother was. It was this underestimation of the enemy that made Baoer understand that when dealing with bad guys, one must kill them with one blow and not give them a chance to breathe.
