"Mom, eat. The brown rice porridge is quite thick today," Old Mrs. Zhao also greeted.
Even though Old Lady Liu wanted to throw down her chopsticks and leave, she hadn't eaten last night and was starving, so she had to grit her teeth and eat her meal.
I ate it with a lot of anger.
Gao, Zhang and their children were fine, but the main problem was Old Lady Liu, who had gone hungry for two meals and could barely walk.
But what really upset Old Lady Liu was yet to come.
When she had some free time in the afternoon, Old Lady Liu went out to the street without giving up. She wanted to inquire about the Zhao family's situation. Now that they had a tiled house, they must be very rich.
The Zhao family could deceive her, but they certainly couldn't deceive the villagers. Once she knew the truth...
Liu Chunxi is obviously rich, but she treats me so harshly. Let me see how I’m going to deal with her.
"Old sister, I'm here to visit relatives. I saw from afar that there are people building big tiled houses in our village. They must be very rich, right?" Old Mrs. Liu walked to a crowded place and stopped a woman to ask.
I think the Zhao family building a house would be news in the village.
Sure enough, the women immediately started talking.
"That's the Zhao family. You don't even know the Zhao family. Oh, you're visiting relatives. Do you have a daughter at home who wants to marry into the family?"
"About the same," Old Lady Liu nodded. "I just want to know if their family is particularly wealthy."
The woman immediately responded with an expression that we all understand.
"Of course they are rich. The Zhao family was lucky. They made a lot of money in the county before, but they almost all used it to build a tiled house. I heard there is not much left. I heard they also have to support a student, so they are really tight..."
Old Mrs. Liu felt very disappointed. She really had no money left.
"Oh, I really don't understand why people live in such a nice tiled house but still eat brown rice porridge," said Old Lady Liu in great distress.
"Eating brown rice porridge?" Unexpectedly, several women started chatting at once. "The Zhao family can eat brown rice porridge now, which is actually a good life. You don't know how unlucky the Zhao family was in the past. The fields were flooded and they almost starved to death. When they were at their poorest, Old Mrs. Zhao even drank manure..."
"What?"
Old Mrs. Liu almost vomited and was shocked. Is Liu Chunxi so cruel?
Another woman continued, "It was thanks to the kindhearted villagers and the hard work of the few people in the village that they were able to carry the burden. Moreover, their fertile land had just been destroyed when a famine occurred. That year, Old Lady Zhao went back to her parents' home in Shanghe Village to borrow food, thinking that the situation in Shanghe Village was much better. Unexpectedly, her parents were so ruthless that they would rather watch her starve to death than lend her any money. Old Lady Zhao fainted when she got home. By then, the grave had been dug. Fortunately, the Zhao family was lucky..."
"That's right. I've never seen such a heartless family. As fate would have it, the Zhao family has finally turned things around... Hey, old lady, the Zhao family is the only one with relatives in the village lately. You even know what brown rice porridge they eat on the table. Are you from that black-hearted family from Shanghe Village?"
"Of course he did. He heard the Zhao family had gotten rich, so he came to them like that. I've seen a lot of shameless relatives like that..."
The women immediately looked at Old Lady Liu as if they had discovered the truth.
Old Mrs. Liu almost choked to death.
“No, no…”
Old Mrs. Liu was so scared that she turned around and ran away.
"He's such a wicked person, he wouldn't even save his own daughter..."
The discussion behind me became louder.
Old Mrs. Liu had not eaten her fill to begin with, and she was so angry that she walked too fast. When she returned to the Zhao family's tile-roofed house, she almost fainted.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, he saw several large carts coming from the Zhao family. Then he realized that it was Foreman Lin who came to deliver furniture to the Zhao family, along with several clumsy apprentices.
The basic furniture was quickly assembled on the spot, and the noise of banging and banging was quite lively.
The Zhao family's tiled house, which was empty a few days ago, now has tables, chairs, benches, and tall wardrobes in every room, although they are not made of expensive wood.
But the advantage is that they are all new and look very impressive, which makes Old Lady Liu extremely jealous.
"There are so many pieces of furniture, all new. When your brother got married, we could only afford to add a bed and a cabinet," said Old Mrs. Liu in amazement.
