Chapter 22 A subtle reminder



"Xiaohe, are you off work? I was talking to my mother and forgot the time. Are you tired? I'll go cook." Zhao Zhenzhu didn't respond to Liang Xiaohe's words, but stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

In this life, Zhao Zhenzhu doesn't want to face such a "passionate" Liang Xiaohe. She is too hypocritical and it causes physical nausea after looking at her for a long time.

"Sister, you seldom go back to your parents' home once a year. How can I let a guest like you cook?" Liang Xiaohe grabbed Zhao Zhenzhu's arm.

Zhao Zhenzhu smiled.

This is the correct way to open Liang Xiaohe!

It's just cooking, but there are still "hosts" and "guests". Should Zhao Zhenzhu admire Liang Xiaohe for her quick thinking or her good eloquence?

If it were Zhao Zhenzhu from her previous life, she would definitely feel embarrassed when she heard Liang Xiaohe's "host and guest" argument, and then reflect on herself, thinking that it was inappropriate to bring her two children back to her parents' home to eat and drink for free.

Zhao Zhenzhu now doesn’t care about that.

Didn’t she say that this house doesn’t belong to Liang Xiaohe?

However, before Liang Xiaohe joined this family, Zhao Zhenzhu had already lived in this family with her father, mother and younger brother for twenty years.

It’s impossible that once Liang Xiaohe comes, Zhao Zhenzhu is no longer her parents’ daughter, right?

Her parents and brother all welcomed her to return to her parents' home with her family, and they wished that they would eat more and take more. Liang Xiaohe herself was eating and drinking for free, so what right did she have to be sarcastic?

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenzhu also said teasingly: "Hahaha... It doesn't matter. There are only a few people in our family. It doesn't matter who cooks."

Zhao Zhenzhu deliberately emphasized the words "our home".

Sure enough, the smile on Liang Xiaohe's face froze.

However, Liang Xiaohe is Liang Xiaohe after all.

In just a second, Liang Xiaohe regained her smile and said, "Sister, you really don't have to do anything. The production teams have been busy with the autumn harvest recently. You must be exhausted, right? Unlike me, I just stand at the counter at the supply and marketing cooperative every day and I'm not tired at all."

The smile on Zhao Zhenzhu's face almost disappeared.

Compared to her previous life, Liang Xiaohe's Yin-Yang skills have increased a lot. Of course, this may also be related to Zhao Zhenzhu's counterattack.

In the past, Zhao Zhenzhu would almost cry after being criticized by Liang Xiaohe, so how could she talk back?

Zhao Zhenzhu was about to fight back when Wu Meiyun spoke up: "Zhenzhu, stop arguing with Xiaohe. It's rare for you to go back to your parents' home. With your sister-in-law here, why should you do anything about the housework? You should just talk to me! Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight after the autumn harvest."

Zhao Zhenzhu has indeed lost weight.

Ding Ermei was very demanding. During the busy farming season, she was reluctant to go to the town to buy two pounds of meat for everyone to replenish their bodies. The men had eggs from time to time, but Zhao Zhenzhu did not. After the autumn harvest, Zhao Zhenzhu lost more than ten pounds.

Wu Meiyun also did farm work when she was young and knew how tiring the autumn harvest was.

Anyone who has tried bending over and cutting rice in the rice fields all day during the autumn harvest knows how it feels.

Wu Meiyu was in poor health. She collapsed after working only half a day and stayed in the hospital for more than ten days before she recovered.

Zhao Qingshan was a very good person. Not only did he bring two bottles of wine to the team leader's and the branch secretary's homes, he also promised that as long as Wu Meiyun did not have to work, they would pay a sum of money to the team every year and would not participate in the team's grain and dividend distribution at the end of the year.

The team leader and the branch secretary saw that Wu Meiyun was not a good worker and were afraid that they would be responsible if Wu Meiyun died in the field, so they had no choice but to agree.

Only then was Wu Meiyun able to escape from the heavy labor.

"Mom, I'd better go help Xiaohe! She has to go to work in the afternoon and is tired." Zhao Zhenzhu was afraid that Liang Xiaohe would hold a grudge against Wu Meiyu, so she said hurriedly.

Zhao Zhenzhu was not afraid of a confrontation with Liang Xiaohe. She would just leave after a while anyway.

No matter how much Liang Xiaohe hated Zhao Zhenzhu, she could only stare blankly.

Wu Meiyu is different.

Zhao Zhenzhu was afraid that Liang Xiaohe would embarrass Wu Meiyu behind Zhao Tianyu's back.

"Didn't you hear Xiaohe say that she wasn't tired at all standing at the counter? Xiaohe herself told you to take a rest, why did you insist on snatching work from her?" Wu Meiyu held Zhao Zhenzhu's arm tightly.

Wu Meiyu could hear the boasting in Liang Xiaohe's tone.

Wu Meiyu was very annoyed.

Didn’t Liang Xiaohe get her permanent job thanks to Zhao Qingshan’s connections?

Zhao Zhenzhu lost her job because of Zhao Tianyu, and Liang Xiaohe also knew about it.

Wu Meiyun didn't need Liang Xiaohe to feel guilty with Zhao Tianyu, but she couldn't deliberately show off her work in front of Zhao Zhenzhu. Isn't this poking at Zhenzhu's lungs?

"Okay! Thank you, Xiaohe, for your hard work." Seeing that Wu Meiyu's face was not good, Zhao Zhenzhu hurriedly did as she was told.

Wu Meiyun is in poor health and cannot get angry. If she gets angry, she will feel chest tightness and have difficulty breathing.

After saying just a few words, Wu Meiyu was already a little out of breath.

Compared with my mother's health, quarreling with my brother's wife is not important at all.

Unfortunately, Liang Xiaohe didn't want to keep quiet.

"Sister, you still have to cook even if you don't come to our house. You can't eat much in one meal, so I can just add a few more handfuls of rice when I cook. By the way, Mom, please give me some money later. There is not much rice left in the rice jar. When I get off work this afternoon, I will go to the grain station to buy the remaining supply of grain for this month." Liang Xiaohe said with a smile.

Zhao Zhenzhu was speechless.

Will Liang Xiaohe not stop until she is so angry that she cries?

There is not much food left at home, so we need to buy some, which is a hint to Zhao Zhenzhu that she should not be so shameless as to stay in her parents' home for too long.

If Zhao Zhenzhu didn't have the memory of her past life, she would have been so ashamed that she would have taken the children and left immediately.

Now!

Zhao Zhenzhu doesn't care.

No matter how much she and her children ate at her mother's house, it was all earned by their parents and younger brother, not Liang Xiaohe's.
