Meng Tao had no lunch, so she just took a piece of chocolate from the space to replenish her energy. She had been pushing the big stone mill for the whole afternoon, which was hard physical work, and she was already hungry. So she occupied the kitchen and made dinner to reward herself.

After the rice is cooked, go to the vegetable garden to pick some tender Chinese cabbage, wash it, and then take out a sausage to cook together. You can save on oil and serve the rice in a lunch box. Even without chili peppers or other seasonings, it is surprisingly delicious despite its light texture. Especially the last bowl of vegetable soup is delicious.

The sausages that had been stored in the space for a few days tasted different from the ones I ate at Zhou Cuiling's house last night that were not stored in the space.

After eating and drinking, washing the pots and lunch boxes and cleaning the kitchen, the educated youth came back. Meng Tao said hello to them, locked her door, and went to Zhou Cuiling's house to take back the clothes that she had washed and hung to dry last night.

The countryside at dusk is very sight to see, with smoke rising from the roofs of every household, adults calling their children, children chattering, chickens and ducks flapping their wings, pigs squealing, dogs barking, and a herd of cattle at the village entrance that have just been driven down from the mountains. They are so full that they can only move slowly, step by step, mooing from time to time. The birds returning to the woods make even greater noises. It is truly bustling.

Meng Tao looked around as she walked along, and greeted everyone she met. Her neighbors all said the same thing to her: "Taohua is back? Is it fun in the big city?"

Meng Tao finally had to reply in unison: "It's very fun."

As she was almost at Zhou Cuiling's house, she saw two people whispering to each other in a corner of the room. Even as the dusk deepened, Meng Tao could still tell that they were Zhou Cuiling and Tian Yalan.

This area is where several Zhou family members live together. It is obvious that Tian Yalan took the initiative to come here to find Zhou Cuilian. It is interesting. In the past, Zhou Cuilian always went to find Tian Yalan, but now it is the other way around.

It was neither raining nor windy, and Tian Yalan wore a big straw hat on her head. It seemed that she didn't dare go out during the day these days. She finally went out at dusk, but had to cover herself up for fear of being seen.

Zhou Cuilian turned around and saw Meng Tao, and hurriedly told Tian Yalan.

Tian Yalan suddenly turned around. Her face could not be seen clearly under the shadow of her straw hat. She only felt two resentful gazes as if they were real, stabbing directly at Meng Tao: "Great, Meng Taohua! I was just about to ask Cui Lian to accompany me to find you, but you came first!"

Meng Tao was not afraid of them and walked over: "Why are you looking for me? If you want to die, go jump into the Linshui River. I can't help you at all."

"You! You are so cruel!"

Tian Yalan's head was smoking, and she wanted to tear Meng Tao apart: "You ruined me and harmed our whole family. I will kill you!"

"Murder is against the law, I tell you. How can you say that I killed your whole family? Do you have any evidence? When you were eating chicken that night, you clearly said that I had no share, so you gave me a bowl of black porridge and a steamed bun. I felt very sad and had to go to the literacy class to listen to the teacher's lecture. You were doing all kinds of things at home, violating morals, and I was not there at all. What does it have to do with me?"

"You, you're not here...but you are...you vicious woman!"

Tian Yalan didn't expect that Meng Taohua, who had always been timid and cowardly, could become so aggressive. She didn't know how to answer and was so angry that she became incoherent and reached out to scratch Meng Tao.

Meng Tao blocked her hand, ripped off her straw hat and threw it away. Tian Yalan didn't dare to face the villagers yet, so she relied on the straw hat to cover her face. She couldn't do without the hat. As soon as Meng Tao threw it away, she immediately turned around to chase her. Meng Tao took the opportunity to kick her hard on the butt, and she fell to the ground.

Tian Yalan was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears: "Meng Taohua, I will never coexist with you! I will call my third brother and his wife back to kill you!"

Tian Yalan stopped crying and sat up suddenly: "I just want to ask you, why did you go to see my third brother? Did you tell him about our family's affairs?"

"Your third brother has become a traitor and married a girl from the city. Of course I have to settle accounts with him and have nothing to do with him from now on. I'm not a gossipy woman, why should I tell him about your family's affairs?"

"you……"

Tian Yalan bit her muddy lips. She actually wanted her third brother to come back, but her mother didn't allow the family to call or telegram her third brother, saying that he should not be delayed in his work. Also, her third sister-in-law must not know about the ugly incident in the family for the time being. They had to wait until they finished the wedding.

"Meng Taohua, you are such a vicious person. I underestimated you! You have harmed our whole family, yet you still dare to go to the provincial capital to look for my third brother. So what? My third brother says he doesn't want you! Do you know who my third sister-in-law is? Her family is powerful and they can kill you with just one finger! Just wait. In a few days, our whole family will go to the provincial capital to attend the wedding. Then I will ask my third sister-in-law's family to help find a solution. Our whole family will not come back to this village. Just wait and see how I kill you!"

"Really? Then I'm really scared!"

Meng Tao said, "But when I was about to take the bus back from the provincial capital, your third brother asked me to tell you that he would not hold the wedding and asked you not to go to the provincial capital. He also said that he had committed a crime and could not arrange a job for you, but your brother-in-law's job at the sugar factory is safe, you can go to your brother-in-law Liang Tiezhu and ask for that job."

Tian Yalan was stunned: "Are you talking nonsense?"

"You all know that I am an honest man. One is one and two is two. I never talk nonsense."

Meng Tao ignored Tian Yalan, turned around and walked away, only to find that Zhou Cuilian had run away before her.

I sneered in my heart, knowing this would happen: Zhou Cuilian ran away in a hurry not because she was afraid of Meng Taohua, but because she was rushing to find Liang Tiezhu.

Zhou Cuilian was also present at the chicken dinner at Tian's house that day, but she acted as if nothing had happened afterwards. It was impossible for her to maintain her innocence. Meng Tao deduced from what she heard and saw in the tree that Zhou Cuilian was having an affair with Liang Tiezhu.

Tian Xianglan's angry shout "What are you doing? Zhou Cuilian, you shameless..." was enough to explain the problem. Then there was a loud bang, and Tian Xianglan fainted without a sound. It should have been done by Liang Tiezhu in a hurry.

Afterwards, no one heard that Liang Tiezhu and Zhou Cuilian were among the people in the house. It is estimated that the two were frightened by the blood on Tian Xianglan's head, but they could not suppress the medicinal power of the sticky grass in their bodies, so they both climbed out of the back window of the main room. There was also a firewood room under the eaves of the back house, where firewood was stored for burning in winter. If the two hid there to do their work, no one would disturb them, and then they could climb over the wall and leave.

As soon as Zhou Cuilian heard the news that Tian Yalan might take over Liang Tiezhu's job, she immediately rushed to inform Liang Tiezhu, saying that the two of them were still ambiguous after that day.

Now with Tian Yalan and even Tian Zhiyuan trying to compete with Liang Tiezhu for that job, the situation within the Tian family is becoming more and more complicated and interesting.
