The actions of the Zhao sisters left everyone completely dumbfounded.
In the past, everyone ate according to their own conscience, taking only what they could eat, and no one cared.
Even if you have a big appetite and eat a lot of meat, no one will have a problem with it.
But these two sisters did something else: they started dividing up the rice spoons.
Everyone harbored resentment, but since the other party was Li Weidong's relative, they dared not say much and could only obediently take their bowls and wait in line for distribution.
When the results were distributed, everyone was in an uproar.
Because each person was only given a small amount of rice in their bowl, and the vegetables were even scarcer, probably not enough for even the children.
"Are you kidding me? Is this all you're giving me? Are you trying to fetch a beggar?"
"Exactly, when he's serving food, his hands shake like he's having an epileptic seizure, and the meat slices are all shaken off."
"How stingy! It's not like we're eating from your house, why are you being so stingy?"
"There's still so much food in the bowl, why aren't you sharing it with us?"
Everyone got angry and gathered around the dish to protest.
Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan, however, were not intimidated at all.
The two threw down their rice spoons and started hurling insults at each other.
"Isn't that much oil and fat enough to eat?"
"After building the house for so many days and eating so much good food, you've become addicted?"
"If you're not full, go home and eat!"
"Didn't we give you meat? If it weren't for helping us build houses in Weidong, would you even be able to eat meat? You're still not satisfied? Bah!"
The two sisters, facing a large group of villagers, showed no fear whatsoever. They argued back and forth, leaving the villagers speechless.
In the end, someone gave in: "Forget it, they're relatives of the host family, we can't fight them."
"Anyway, the house will be finished soon, it's not worth arguing with them."
Some people muttered to themselves, "I feel like something's off about these two. If Weidong wanted to find a supervisor, he would have done so long ago. Why would he wait until the house is almost finished before having someone come to supervise?"
Someone immediately chimed in: "Exactly, mainly because I don't think Wei Dong is that kind of person!"
The house was under construction for about ten days, and the meals were the same every day, with pork and chicken served in different varieties. They were never stingy.
How could they suddenly change their minds?
The group exchanged glances, and immediately one of them quietly slipped away, heading straight for Li Weidong's house.
...
Li Weidong was having dinner with Zhao Xiulian when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Upon opening the door, he was taken aback to see the villagers who had helped build the house: "Uncle, what brings you here? Is there not enough food?"
The visitor shook his head, hesitated, and then said, "Weidong, your two aunts..."
The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't bring myself to say them.
After all, she is Li Weidong's aunt. If she came to complain, what if she really was someone Li Weidong sent to supervise the work?
Seeing his hesitation, Li Weidong immediately sensed something was wrong: "They've come to our village?"
"Um."
The man nodded, observed Li Weidong's expression, and tentatively said, "He came this morning, saying he was here to help. He's still at the new house distributing food to everyone!"
"that is……"
He carefully chose his words: "It's just that the way the food was divided seems a bit off. There was still a lot left in the bowl, and they wouldn't share it. Everyone is going hungry!"
Li Weidong's face turned ashen: "I didn't invite this person. I'll go with you to take a look."
Zhao Xiulian came out when she heard the voice: "Weidong, your aunt and the others are here?"
"I'll handle it, Mom, you can rest at home."
Li Weidong turned his head and said, "Don't go, or you'll definitely get bullied."
He knew his two aunts' personalities better than anyone else.
They're never satisfied with taking advantage of others; their shamelessness knows no bounds.
If Mom goes, she'll probably get really angry!
Zhao Xiulian hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I won't go. Wei Dong, if they go too far, don't worry about seniority."
Li Weidong nodded and followed the man out the door.
On the way, the man realized that Li Weidong was indeed unaware of the situation, so he recounted the behavior of the Zhao Xiufen sisters.
Finally, she said angrily, "Wei Dong, you didn't see how arrogant they were!"
"They curse and insult, and even if you stop to smoke a cigarette, you get yelled at. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were building their own house!"
Li Weidong sneered: "You scoundrel, I'll find out when I get there."
In the new house, Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan are eating while sitting by the vegetable basin!
Both of them lived a very frugal life and could never afford to eat meat.
Today was different. The two of them held onto their rice scoops and wouldn't let go. They just gave each person a token amount of vegetables and meat, and that was it. After they had distributed the rice to everyone, there was still more than half left in the bowl, and it was all meat.
The two sisters ate voraciously around the bowl, as if they had never seen meat before.
When Li Weidong arrived, the two were enjoying their meal.
"Is it tasty?"
"Isn't that obvious? With so much meat, how could it not taste good?"
Zhao Xiufen ate without even lifting her head.
Zhao Xiujuan, however, realized what was happening and turned her head sharply, meeting Li Weidong's gloomy face.
She was startled and dropped her chopsticks: "Wei Dong, you... what are you doing here?!"
As he spoke, he gave Zhao Xiufen a hard elbow.
Zhao Xiufen then realized what was happening and chuckled awkwardly, "Weidong, you're here. Have you eaten? Want something to eat?"
Although the workers did not stop what they were doing, they all pricked up their ears and kept glancing over here.
Li Weidong looked at the two of them coldly: "This is food for everyone building houses, I can't bear to eat it."
Zhao Xiufen and Zhao Xiujuan blushed immediately.
But then he perked up again.
"What's this about being willing to eat it? You're willing to give it to outsiders?"
Zhao Xiujuan said emphatically, "Weidong, it's not that I'm nagging you, but you can't be extravagant when it comes to living. Even though you can earn money now, you still have to be careful with your spending!"
"They built you a house, and you promised to help them grow mushrooms. That's an incredible favor. How can you expect them to provide meals as well?"
Zhao Xiufen realized what was going on and quickly chimed in, "Exactly! It's one thing to provide meals, but to serve such good food! How much does this meal cost?"
"You don't know how expensive life is until you're in charge of the household. Luckily, your aunt and I found out, so we rushed over."
Li Weidong laughed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Then you should still do it for my sake?"
Seeing him smile, the two became even more enthusiastic, nodding vigorously: "That's right!"
“Weidong, you’re young and naive, and your mother is too soft-hearted. You’ve been deceived without even realizing it. Your aunt and I are here to help you so you don’t ruin the family.”
The two got more and more excited as they talked, appearing to be doing it for Li Weidong's own good.
Li Weidong raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
"So, according to you, what should I do?"
