Chapter 63: In front of a man, tearing up the niece

Outside the door, his three nieces stared at the steamed buns in his hands, drooling.

Zhai Ximo couldn't explain why he ate all the food himself but didn't share any with his three nieces.

Without any hesitation, he strode towards the door.

Seeing that his father was about to give the biscuits to someone else, Baoer shouted anxiously, "Dad! Those are the biscuits we brought for you."

When they reached the door, Zhai Ximo turned around and blinked softly, "Dad knows that this is from you and mom's heart. Uh, Dad is not hungry yet. Dinner will be served soon. Give it to the sisters first."

The three girls outside the door jumped up happily.

Just as Zhai Zhaodi reached out to take the pancake, the door was suddenly slammed shut from the inside.

Zhai Zhaodi was bounced several steps by the door and fell down at the door of the stove room with a thump.

"Why did you close the door?" A man's dull voice suddenly rang out in the dim room.

"What do you think? I'm not a Bodhisattva! Did your elder brother leave a piece of glutinous rice cake for my son when he made it this morning?!" Wang Ziru snorted coldly.

She quickly took the pancake back from the man's hand.

She walked straight to the bed and handed one to her son, "Baoer, eat another pancake. We don't have to cook dinner tonight."

"But I can't eat anymore..." Baoer blinked and leaned against his mother obediently. The mother and son sat on the edge of the bed and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Zhai Ximo turned his head, a hint of helplessness flashed across his deep phoenix eyes.

Hearing his eldest niece outside the door crying like a pig being slaughtered and howling at the top of her lungs, he hurriedly opened the door.

I saw my sister-in-law carrying cornmeal and walking towards the stove, preparing to cook dinner.

Seeing her daughter sitting on the ground and crying loudly, Liu Xiangqin frowned and deliberately asked loudly: "Why are you sitting on the ground and crying?"

"It was my third aunt! She closed the door on purpose because she didn't want me to eat the steamed buns..." Zhai Zhaodi wiped her tears, sat on the ground and refused to get up, not forgetting to complain.

Liu Xiangqin's eyes flashed with flames. She turned and glared at her brother-in-law, "Old Third! What do you mean by this, woman?"

"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood." Zhai Ximo walked out of the side room.

Wang Ziru took the steamed cake and walked to the door while eating, leaning against the mottled and broken door frame, "Oh, it's Zhaodi, Auntie may not have noticed you when she closed the door just now, what happened to you?"

"You bad woman! You just don't want me to eat the pancakes given by my uncle."

Zhai Zhaodi sat on the ground, her eyes red, pointing at Wang Ziru and cursing.

"How could I be so bad? And who saw your uncle making you a steamed bun? Well, you saw it too. Your uncle is working for your family. When has he ever gone to the stove room to make steamed buns?"

"Oh, by the way, Baoer kept asking what the glutinous rice cakes you make in the morning taste like. I think they are probably not as delicious as steamed buns."

"Right, Zhaodi?"

Liu Xiangqin was about to lose her temper when she heard her sister-in-law deliberately talking about the glutinous rice cakes she had had in the morning in a weird tone.

At this time, hearing the crying of the child in the house, her husband Zhai Qingsong also came in to check. Liu Xiangqin sneered and shouted at Zhai Zhaodi on the ground: "Why don't you get up?! Do you want to eat bamboo sticks!"

When Zhai Qingsong came in, he only heard Wang Ziru asking about glutinous rice cakes.

After making glutinous rice cakes in the morning, he clearly told his wife privately to leave some for Baoer.

Didn't the wife leave any for Bao Er? !

The eldest looked at the third, and the third looked at the eldest. If they settled the accounts this way, it seemed that no one owed anyone anything.

Zhai Ximo turned around and glanced at his wife with a faint look, "Don't waste your words! Go and boil some water, give Bao'er a bath, and go to Longwang Village tomorrow morning to celebrate Bao'er's grandfather's birthday."

Watch the two brothers walk towards the yard.

Liu Xiangqin raised her foot and kicked Zhai Zhaodi, scolding her, "Useless thing, can't you just stop causing trouble for me?"

Zhai Zhaodi's eyes were red, and she had to get up from the ground by herself.

That look seemed to want to tear Wang Ziru to pieces. He ran back to their own west room angrily, threw himself on the bed and sobbed.

The man working in the yard had a sullen face. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he went into the house and comforted his daughter, "Zhao Di, come and meet me next time. Dad will go to town to buy you some steamed buns. Don't cry."

"Mom doesn't love me at all. I'm definitely not her biological child..."

Zhai Zhaodi pounded the quilt with her little hands and took the opportunity to complain to her father.

However, this was not the first time that Zhai Qingsong heard a child cry like this.

He felt that Liu Xiangqin was too strict with her child. As a mother, she was nothing like his sister-in-law Wang Ziru, who was gentle when she needed to be.

Otherwise, my little nephew would follow his mother around everywhere all day long.

I've never heard my nephew say such a thing.

Zhai Qingsong was really afraid that when Zhaodi grew up, she might find out that she was not their biological child...

Zhai Zhaodi climbed up from the bed, called "Dad" to Zhai Qingsong, and then she couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into her father's arms and burst into tears.

…

In the evening.

Hongmei Village became restless.

The Luo brothers and a few men from the village went into the mountains and hunted a wild boar!

The men brought the wild boar back to the village, which immediately attracted adults and children from the entire village to come and watch the fun.

"Third brother, go to Huma Village and ask the butcher to come over. We will kill the pig tonight." The eldest brother of the Luo family wiped the sweat from his face and said as he looked at the fat and big wild boar that had been subdued.

The third brother went to Huma Village to ask the butcher for help.

The people at home were also busy. Seven or eight men were busy building a makeshift stove with stones in the yard.

After building an earthen stove with stones and yellow mud, a large iron pot used to cook pig food at home was placed on the stove. The pot was filled with water and boiled to cook the pig.

The eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family and several sisters-in-law were discussing in the stove room.

"We can send wild boar to Zhai Lao San, but wild boar is tough, and we don't know if the third daughter-in-law likes it or not?"

"Why don't we go to their house and ask them if they like wild boar or something else?"

"I think it's a good idea! It's better to go over and ask than to send her something she doesn't like."

The third sister-in-law went to the side room to tell Zhao Junxia about this idea.

After all, Zhao Junxia and Wang Ziru have a good relationship, otherwise why would they be so dedicated to treating them, mother and daughter?

Zhao Junxia listened to the opinions of her three sisters-in-law and looked down at her sleeping daughter. "I heard that Sister Ziru will go back to her parents' home tomorrow. According to our local customs, when she goes back to her parents' home to celebrate her father's birthday, she should bring chickens and ducks back with her."

"But we don't have chickens or ducks at home?" the sister-in-law laughed.

"How about we use the wild boar meat to exchange for a chicken or duck from our neighbors in the village who raise chickens and ducks?" Zhao Junxia looked at her three sisters-in-law.

I am very grateful to them for treating her affairs as a family matter after she gave birth to her child.

Mrs. Luo was stunned. There were relatively few people raising chickens and ducks in the village.

"Village Chief Li has a duck. Let's use wild boar meat to exchange for a duck." The second sister-in-law of the Luo family said excitedly, and then said, "I heard that the Zhai family originally raised five chickens. When the family was divided, all five hens were given to Wang Ziru. So, let's send a duck first and cut a few pounds of wild boar meat to send?"

"What the second brother said makes sense. I will go discuss it with the sister-in-law of Village Chief Li later..." The eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family recently married into the Luo family. It can be said that she grew up watching her brothers-in-law from her husband's family.

As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. She takes the lead in taking care of all the big and small matters in the family.

In the Zhai family's studio, Wang Ziru and her son had just finished taking a hot bath.

Luo Laosi and his eldest sister-in-law walked into the Zhai family's yard, carrying a duck and a wild boar's foot.

"Is Miss Ziru at home? Let's go look for her. Is your wife in the back room, Lao San?"

The eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family understood the ways of the village. She walked into the main hall and saw that it was full of people. They were all workers hired by the eldest son of the Zhai family, who were having dinner.

Seeing Zhai Ximo also sitting at the square table to eat, the eldest sister-in-law of the Luo family immediately smiled warmly like spring, "Third boy, take us to meet your wife."
