"It's easy for you to say. Cook? Let me ask you, what do you use to cook?" Huang Qiuju asked.
Li Ailan rolled her eyes, looking impatient. "Don't we have eggs? Do I need to teach you this?"
Li Ailan felt that her mother-in-law was becoming more and more confused, and actually asked her what to use to cook the egg custard.
Even a fool knows that egg custard is made from eggs.
"You..." Huang Qiuju was furious. "How dare you talk about eggs? You were in confinement, and we ate all three hens at home, giving the others nothing, not even a feather. I even went to Gangqiang's sisters and asked for a chicken from each of their homes, but the chickens were gone, so where did the eggs come from? Tell me, where did all the excitement come from!"
After hearing what Huang Qiuju said, Li Ailan remembered that this family seemed to be getting poorer and poorer.
The meals she ate became less and less delicious.
But even so, she couldn't admit that she was wrong.
Anyway, she is right.
"That's not my concern! Mom, you always say I ate the chickens at home, but don't you think about it? If I hadn't eaten the chickens, where would Dachou and Erchou get their milk? If it weren't for me, they would have starved to death. I didn't eat the chickens alone, Dachou and Erchou also had a share. If you want to scold them, scold them too. I won't be blamed for them."
Huang Qiuju was speechless after hearing this.
In the past, she thought she was the most domineering, but compared with Li Ailan, she was not even as good as Li Ailan. This woman was clearly heartless and only cared about herself.
At least she still thought about her son.
Whatever delicious food is eaten, it is always given to her son. This woman only has herself in her eyes.
At this moment, Huang Qiuju suddenly felt that there was no point in arguing with Li Ailan.
She won't change.
It would be better to... send this scourge to the Li family.
After rolling her eyes, Huang Qiuju came up with a solution.
Li Ailan was still waiting for Huang Qiuju's next words, but Huang Qiuju suddenly slapped her thigh and started crying.
Li Ailan looked confused.
What is going on?
What tricks is this old woman going to play?
Just as she was wondering, she heard Huang Qiuju speak, "Ailan, I... I, this old woman, am so sorry for letting you marry into our Cai family, but... your life is not even as good as when you were at your parents' home."
Li Ailan's eyes lit up. Yes, the Cai family's life is not as good as the Li family's.
She snorted triumphantly, "I told you long ago that life in the Cai family is not for human beings. You didn't believe it yet. Do you believe it now?"
Huang Qiuju's eyes rolled around and she nodded repeatedly, "I believe it, I believe it. But... our Cai family doesn't have the conditions anymore. Ailan, I really want you to have delicious food every day, but you've seen the situation at home. Gangqiang's sisters have all been borrowed away by an old woman like me. Even the people in the production team hide when they see someone from our Cai family. They're all afraid of borrowing. But life has to go on. Dachou and Erchou, after eating one meal, they don't know where they'll get their next meal. How about... you take two... no, take one child back to the Li family, raise them well, and come back later?"
Huang Qiuju was reluctant to let Li Ailan take both children away.
Only Li Ailan was allowed to take one away. Although the family was not as well off as before, the autumn harvest was coming soon, and after the harvest, the food could be distributed.
