She glanced through the kitchen window at Shu Ying, who was sitting on the sofa, peeling an orange gracefully, still behaving like a capitalist's daughter.
Ding Rumei chopped the meat in her hands even louder: "It's not a holiday or festival, yet you still have meat to eat. I'm going to my brother's place this afternoon to complain. You eat and drink at our house, and you still dare to order me around to do chores for you? When my brother wants to divorce you, let's see if you'll still be laughing then."
Ding Rumei dislikes Shu Ying because their personal energies clash from top to bottom.
Although she was paid to work, she is Xie Zhiyan's sister after all. How can we really let her do such rough work?
Moreover, Song Zhaodi, an outsider, can rest, so it's clear that Shu Ying doesn't respect her as a relative at all!
Outside the door, Liu Xiulan sat on the playground with a fan in her hand, while Zhang Hongxia walked over carrying a plate of unpicked vegetables.
"It's almost autumn, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I wasn't planning on turning on the fan, but I was sweating all over this morning, and even taking a shower didn't help."
Liu Xiulan moved to the side to make room, put down her fan, and started picking vegetables with her.
"Who says otherwise? I've never felt this hot and anxious in previous summers. I've been feeling unwell these past few days. The kids are so energetic. They don't feel cold when they're cold or hot when they're hot. With so many people gathered around, their little faces are all red and flushed, almost like monkey bottoms."
Zhang Hongxia smiled as she looked at the group of children, then her gaze fell on Yueyue and Yangyang.
"Those two kids are so well-behaved. They've been here for several days and I haven't heard them cry once. The brother and sister get along very well and are always getting along peacefully. You know, when there are two kids around here, they always end up arguing over the smallest things."
Liu Xiulan is very meticulous in picking vegetables. She removes all the strings from the green beans, breaks the long green beans into three sections, and the short green beans into two sections. Her work is pleasing to the eye.
"The adults taught us well. I heard that Chief Xie will be discharged from the hospital soon. I guess the child's mother won't be too busy anymore. When she has time, we can take the opportunity to visit each other."
Zhang Hongxia nodded and watched the two children enter the sandpit.
Yangyang skillfully built a sandcastle: "Little sister, would you like to be a princess? This is the castle I built for you, and I will be the one to protect you."
Yueyue's eyes were filled with surprise: "Brother is so amazing! This castle is so beautiful, but I don't want to be a princess. I want to protect my brother too."
Although princesses have many beautiful clothes to wear, Mom says that princesses in fairy tales are all weak and delicate. She wants to be the bravest little girl in the world so that she can protect her parents and brother when she grows up.
Yangyang quickly made another cloak out of sand, carefully picked it up, and pretended to drape it over Yueyue's shoulders.
"Now you're a hero who can save the world! Let's go to the castle together and rescue the princess who's trapped by the monster, okay?"
Yueyue was very pleased with her "invisible" cloak. She twirled around excitedly, her white dress spreading out like a flower in the sandpit.
