"Haha, Brother Yunchuan, we need to make them more aggressive with their words, so that they won't be bullied by others. If they are too weak, they will only be bullied by others."
"Yeah, that's what you said, Comrade Tang. In this world, if you are too weak, you will be bullied to death."
"Tang girl, the food you cook is so delicious. When you have time, please teach me. Otherwise, your captain uncle will always say that the food I cook is not delicious."
"Aunt Huilan, as long as you add more oil and seasoning, the dish will be delicious."
"Hey, girl, you know that our family is all supported by those few work points. How can we have so much oil and seasoning to give out?"
"Haha, Aunt Huilan, it's just that the living conditions are poor now. It won't be like that in the future. Everyone will have delicious meals and live a good life."
"Yeah, I hope so. But life is much better now than before. Back then, we had to dig tree bark and eat fern moss every day. We couldn't even see a grain of rice, let alone porridge."
"I don't know how many people starved to death at that time. I really don't know how we managed to get through that time."
"Aunt Huilan, don't worry, life will only get better and better. Just wait and enjoy your life in the future."
"No one can predict what will happen in the future. I don't know what the situation will be like. I'm already old, and I don't know if I can wait until the day I can enjoy my life."
"Aunt Huilan, don't overthink it. Let's just let nature take its course. Besides, our living conditions will definitely get better and better in the future."
"How can you be considered old? Look at Yangyang, Fanfan, and Erya. They are all so old, but you are still so young. You are the youngest grandmother in the village."
"Haha, girl Tang, you really know how to coax people with such sweet words. I'll ask my daughter Shumeng to learn from you later."
Jiang Shumeng: "Mom, you are disrespecting me, but I really want to learn from Comrade Tang when I have time."
"Sister Shumeng, don't listen to your mother's nonsense. You are already very good. How about we learn from each other?"
"Yes, yes, Comrade Tang."
Wu Yuling had been silent for a while, but now, perhaps because she had eaten too much meat and was too full, she started talking again.
"Mom, my little sister is already so grown up. It's not a good idea for her to stay at home every day. We have to find her a partner and marry her off."
"It's not right for a grown-up girl to stay at home with her parents and brother and sister-in-law every day."
"She can't even support herself with the few work points she earns. It's us, her brothers and sisters-in-law, who have to support her with the few work points we earn."
Jiang Yunchuan tugged at his wife's sleeve to ask her to stop talking, and even said in front of so many people that she didn't know how to choose the right occasion, but Wu Yuling pushed his hand away.
"Mom, it's not that I, as her sister-in-law, can't stand her. She's already at the age of getting married, and it's time for her to find a partner and get married."
"Don't always live at home and eat our food and use our things. We still have Yangyang and the others to support, and we don't have extra money and food to support a girl that big."
Jiang Shumeng shouted angrily: "Sister-in-law, I eat what I earn from working, even if my work points are not enough for me to eat."
"Then what I eat is from my parents, and the house I live in is also built by my parents. I don't eat yours."
"If you despise me so much, why don't you build a house and move out? You are so incompetent that you have to live in the house my parents built."
"Also, whether I have a boyfriend or not, whether I get married or not is my own business. My parents don't care about me, why are you worrying about it?"
"Oh, I'm such a big shot as your sister-in-law. I'm not as capable as you. Why do you still live with your parents when you're that old? Why don't you find a partner and get married?"
Meng Huilan yelled, "Wu Yuling, shut up! My little girl lives in a house that was built by the two of us old people, not by you."
"She relies on us two old people for food when she doesn't have enough food. Don't you see how few work points you earn every day? You're already a mother of several children, yet you still go to work and slack off."
"If it weren't for my son's hard work and diligence, and the help from us old people, do you think your work points would be enough for you to eat?"
"You eat the most at every meal. You've become so fat! If we weren't frugal, we'd probably run out of food if we ate the way you do."
"Whether Shumeng finds a partner or not is her own business. Even if she does, she should marry someone who knows how to live a good life. She can't just pick anyone."
"Just take care of yourself. You don't need to worry about these things, and you don't need to say anything. I'm afraid I haven't dealt with you for a few days, and your skin is starting to itch again."
"Even if you don't like it, you have to keep it to yourself, or build your own house and move out. I have to pamper my little girl."
"Don't you think about where you are? Saying that in front of so many people is really embarrassing."
Seeing this, Tang Shiyan was afraid that their quarrel would get more intense and hurried to interrupt them, "Aunt Huilan, hurry up and eat, otherwise the food will get cold and taste bad. Wait until you're full before you talk about anything else."
"Aunt Huilan, people are made of iron and rice is made of steel. You need to eat well to have strength and good health. You must finish these dishes before you go back."
Meng Huilan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, Tang girl, I will definitely finish eating these dishes before going back."
"Girl Tang, you have such a big table of dishes. I am so old, but I have never eaten many of them. Today I finally got to eat them."
"Grandma Jiang, as long as you don't mind, come over when you're free and I'll cook these dishes for you."
"Tang girl, how can that be possible? It's so hard for you to do it alone. I'm already half buried in the ground."
"Thank you so much for inviting me over for a meal. If I come here too often, those aunties will say something bad about me."
"Grandma Jiang, don't worry about what others say. Just be happy and comfortable. It will be very tiring if you argue with those people."
"Besides, their mouths are on their bodies. They can say whatever they want. We can't sew their mouths shut with needle and thread."
"Anyway, I'm not afraid of them now. As long as they don't provoke me, we'll all be fine. If they provoke me, I'll let them know how powerful I am."
"Yeah, people like that are meant to be dealt with by people like you. They're just jealous of you because you're having a good life now, and they always think of those dirty little tricks to provoke you."
Tang Shiyan and Meng Huilan were eating and chatting at the same time. Xia Jinnian kept picking up food for Tang Shiyan, and the people around them were envious.
They didn't expect that these two people had just been dating for a short time, but their relationship was so good.
