Chapter 15 Find a New Dad

The quarrel at the back of the house attracted two brothers who were working in the east room in front.

The second brother Zhai Jiahao and the eldest brother Zhai Qingsong stood with their hands full of clay and mud, holding bricklaying tools. Seeing that the third brother's wife was not willing to give in, the two brothers stood on their mother's side without hesitation.

Zhai Jiahao frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, you are really going too far! Mom just picked up two eggs from you, why are you making such a fuss?"

Hearing about the flower-studded flower, Wang Ziru turned around and looked at the two brothers standing outside the thatched hut, and snorted coldly: "You are generous, let her go to your house to get the eggs."

"I..." Zhai Jia was so arrogant. He had never seen eggs in his life. He said anxiously, "Go to my room and see if there are any eggs."

"There are no eggs in your house, but do I have any?! There are five hens in my house, and they lay five eggs every day. Who eats them?" Wang Ziru spread her hands and sneered.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that her face turned blue and black. "You short-lived bastard! You make trouble for me every day. You said it's your egg, take it!"

"Mom, you can take it back today, and don't come back to pick it up again."

Just as Zhai Ximo finished speaking, several pairs of eyes looked over and saw Mrs. Liu angrily take out three eggs from her cotton-padded jacket pocket and throw them directly into the fence with two "bangs", smashing all the eggs.

"I, as a mother, can't eat eggs. No one in this family can eat eggs either."

Mrs. Liu dropped three eggs, which made her two sons feel so distressed that they wanted to curse.

If she doesn't eat it, she can feed it to the three children at home.

Wang Ziru was almost angry to death when she saw the good eggs being smashed.

Holding Bao'er's hand, Zhai Ximo also frowned, seeing that the old mother would rather break rotten eggs than give them.

One can imagine how torturous it is for Wang Ziru to live with Baoer in this home.

At this time, Xu Ping also came to the back of the house to watch the fun. She saw her mother-in-law smashing eggs in anger and looking at the fun.

But today is different from the past, the third brother came home.

Xu Ping was somewhat sensible, and on the surface she deliberately said to Wang Ziru:

"Sister-in-law, you are really something. You know that all the eggs in the house are for mom to eat. The children can't have any, and you still fight with her."

The three brothers could clearly understand what Xu Ping meant.

Their mother complained of headaches every now and then, and had to eat eggs to cure the illness, so although they raised a few hens at home, the eggs they laid were picked up by their mother and locked in her drawer.

“If anyone dares to pick up my eggs in the future, I, Wang Ziru, will chop off his hand!” There were no eggs to eat today. Wang Ziru had wanted to cook three soft-boiled eggs first, one for each of the three members of the family.

The eggs were smashed by Mrs. Liu and no one could eat them.

The two brothers standing outside the thatched hut turned back angrily and continued to beat the stove.

Mrs. Liu went back to her room cursing and slammed the door.

Xu Ping retracted her gaze and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, your five chickens have grown so big and have eaten a lot of food. You must keep a close eye on them in the future, otherwise your Baoer will never get to eat eggs."

"Do I need to watch over these animals every day? I'm going to kill them soon and make soup for Baoer to nourish his body." Wang Ziru directed her man to go into the chicken coop and catch chickens.

Xu Ping was surprised: "You want to make chicken soup?!"

It turns out that my mother-in-law was right. This woman is such a spendthrift.

She was given five hens. Even though they were only fed grass every day, they were very hardworking and laid five eggs every day. If they were brought to the town and collected, they could be exchanged for money.

Xu Ping was so angry in her heart, why did he hold Xiao Niu last night?

If we share the five chickens with the second one, we can get five eggs today.

It was not until she saw with her own eyes Zhai Ximo go to the chicken coop and catch a fat hen that weighed at least three or four pounds that Xu Ping believed what Wang Ziru said.

Xu Ping turned around to go to the yard to work when she suddenly had an idea and saw a few small crucian carps lying in the foot basin.

She knew that this was given to Baoer by Master Zhang.

Today the three of them have chicken soup. If they ask for these small crucian carps, the third child will definitely not refuse.

Xu Ping's face flushed with excitement. She walked quickly behind the thatched hut and saw her third brother. "Third brother! Today we asked our eldest brother to help us light the stove. We don't have any meat at home. I think you are going to make chicken soup today. Why don't you give us the fish that Grandpa Zhang gave us?"

"..." Zhai Ximo was carrying a hen and was about to go to the kitchen to find a kitchen knife. When he saw his second sister-in-law's eager look, he was about to nod.

But I heard Wang Ziru laughing and saying, "Second sister-in-law, don't learn from mom! I want to fry some small fish for Baoer to nourish his body."

Xu Ping's breathing became a little rapid. If they didn't have these small fishes for lunch today, they would have no pickled vegetables.

"Third brother, say something."

"Don't ask him. I have the final say in this family."

Wang Ziru's tone was cold and hard.

He walked into the thatched hut kitchen by himself, picked up the wooden basin and walked out, bringing it to the chicken coop at the back of the house.

Leave it to the man to deal with it together.

Zhai Ximo squatted on the grass outside the chicken coop, killing chickens and fish meticulously.

After waiting for a long time without hearing the third brother say a word, Xu Ping still walked over with a shameless face, "Third brother! You can just give us a fish. The main purpose is to entertain the eldest brother. It's very tiring to make a stove."

"What does it have to do with us whether the job you hired is tiring or not?" Wang Ziru came out with a basin of hot water, and her words put an end to the man's intention to send him fish.

"You are good, Wang Ziru, but don't ask me for help in the future." Xu Ping was not convinced. Looking at her third brother plucking chicken feathers skillfully, she felt unwilling in her heart, and her two legs could not move even a step.

Why did the third brother's family have fish and chicken soup today, but they could only have a bowl of corn paste?

Zhai Ximo handled the four small crucian carps skillfully, then pulled up a piece of grass from the grass nearby, threaded it through the heads of the two small fish, and turned around to hand it to Xu Ping.

"Second sister-in-law! Fry it and feed it to the child."

Xu Ping was overjoyed and took the two small fishes with both hands, "Third brother is really kind-hearted."

Wang Ziru happened to go back and cook corn grits porridge in a hanging pot. When she turned around, two small fish in the house flew away.

"Hey!" Wang Ziru looked unhappy as she watched Xu Ping running into the house with two small fish in her arms as if protecting her food.

"Mom, my little fish was taken away by my aunt..."

Baoer watched helplessly as the little fish he had brought back was taken away, and looked at his mother pitifully with a pouty mouth.

He had never drunk fish soup or eaten fish in his life.

Zhai Ximo knew that the woman was unhappy, so he explained, "Give it to my second sister-in-law this time. I won't interfere in family affairs in the future."

Wang Ziru walked over, held Bao'er's hand, and said in a calm tone, "Don't be angry, Bao'er. If your father gives gifts to others again in the future, Mom will give him away and find you a new father."
