"You'll come with us to the fields, and she'll stay home and cook. That's settled!"
Hearing the undisguised protectiveness in their words, Zhou Xiaoye couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
When she was with the Zhou family, she not only had to cook, but she also had to take care of most of the work in the fields!
Every time, after finishing working in the fields, I still have to rush home to cook, and if I'm slow, I get scolded.
Coming to the Li family made her feel unprecedented favoritism.
Is this what it feels like to be loved...?
"I don't care, if Ono isn't going, then I'm not going either!"
Li Xiaoli pouted: "Mom, you can't be so biased. Who is your real daughter anyway!"

Li Xiaoli stomped her foot angrily: "You two always gang up on me, you bastards!"
Li Weidong laughed loudly, "Alright, now that we've got everything, it's time to get to work in the fields!"
After saying that, he winked at Zhou Xiaoye, signaling her to keep it a secret.
Zhou Xiaoye smiled, and an ambiguous atmosphere flowed between the two of them.
Li Xiaoli couldn't take it anymore: "Mom, I want to go with you, not with those two. They're so clingy, it's so annoying!"
