When Su Hongying turned back, what she saw were two tightly closed wooden doors.

She pushed, but it didn't move.

The wooden door was obviously bolted from the inside.

She raised her hand and knocked twice.

The people in the room had just picked up their chopsticks when they heard a knock on the door, and they all looked up at the same time.

Eyes meet.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

These days, life is not easy for everyone.

Every family’s food rations were also tight.

Families with children will not let their children eat and drink at other people's homes.

It is even less likely that adults will come to visit during mealtime.

Su Lili was about to get up to open the door...

"Sister-in-law, open the door!" Su Hongying's voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

Su Lili's butt just left the bench and immediately fell back down.

"Let's eat." Su Changjiang picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Zhang Fengxia curled the corners of her mouth and picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork with her chopsticks and gave it to Su Changjiang in a very good mood.

Shen Zhihuan and Zhou Xiuqiao looked at each other meaningfully, both unable to hide their joy on their faces.

Zhou Xiuqiao was really annoyed with Su Hongying and her daughter. Every time they came, they acted like the bosses. Not only did they eat and drink for free, but they were also always finding fault.

This one is salty, that one is bland.

This one has too much oil, and that one has too little sauce.

As soon as the mother and daughter sit at the table, they can pick bones out of the eggs.

But she is powerless and has no influence, so there is nothing she can do no matter how upset she is.

It's ok now.

Finally, I can have some peace and quiet.

Su Ziyu, who saw all of this, pursed his lips and put the fish meat with the bones removed into his young wife's bowl.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Su Hongying's angry voice came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Grandma, aunt..." Little Qiping pointed in the direction of the courtyard gate, with a look of confusion on his little face.

"That person just sounds a bit like your aunt, but he is not your aunt. Let's eat quickly!" Zhang Fengxia took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of egg custard into Xiao Qiping's bowl.

Little Qiping blinked his eyes and started to stir the egg custard as if he understood it.

At the gate of the courtyard, Su Hongying's roar continued.

Everyone in the room lowered their heads to eat, pretending not to hear.

Everyone finally put down their chopsticks amid Su Hongying's roar.

While Zhou Xiuqiao and Su Lili were cleaning up the dishes, Zhang Fengxia went to open the door.

If she wasn't afraid that she would keep yelling and disturb her second daughter-in-law's nap later, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.

However, it was somewhat beyond her expectation that Su Hongying could yell outside the yard for such a long time.

She originally thought that after Su Hongying knocked for a while and no one opened the door, she would leave on her own.

Who knew...

She really underestimated Su Hongying's patience.

As soon as the door opened, Su Hongying, sweating profusely, glared at Zhang Fengxia fiercely. Her grinning face looked like a devil crawling out of hell.

"Is there something?" Zhang Fengxia curled the corners of her mouth and said in a very good mood.

In the past, Su Hongying always looked superior, and Zhang Fengxia had never seen her in such a miserable state.

"I knocked on the door for so long, why didn't you open it? Don't tell me you didn't hear me." Su Hongying clenched her fists.

"I heard it." Zhang Fengxia nodded with a smile, her tone still calm.

"Then why don't you open it?" Su Hongying was furious.

For a moment, she wanted to rush up and scratch Zhang Fengxia's face.

"We are eating." The smile on Zhang Fengxia's face did not change at all.

Su Hongying clenched her back teeth.

Have a meal……

Didn't she come here to eat?

Especially through the half-open courtyard door, I saw Su Lili and Zhou Xiuqiao carrying bowls and chopsticks back to the kitchen.

Su Hongying was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe.

She pushed away Zhang Fengxia who was blocking her way and rushed in angrily.

Zhang Fengxia was caught off guard and staggered when she was pushed by her.

Su Changjiang, who had just stepped out of the main room, saw this scene and his face turned dark.

“Brother…”

Facing Su Changjiang's gloomy face, Su Hongying suddenly lost her temper.

“Brother…”

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"As the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, why are you running around everywhere instead of being at home to cook for your man in the middle of the day? What does it look like?" Su Changjiang's face was dark, with frost in his eyes.

"Brother, I have something to talk to you about." Su Hongying wiped the sweat from her forehead and said in a low voice.

"I'm taking a rest at noon and won't be dealing with anything. If you have anything, come to the brigade headquarters to find me." Su Changjiang turned around and was about to go back to the house.

"Brother..." Su Hongying called out hurriedly.

Su Changjiang frowned, "What's the matter?"

Su Hongying glanced at Su Ziyu, Shen Zhihuan and Su Zijun who were enjoying the cool under the tree, and seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Brother, why don't we go inside and talk."

Hearing this, Su Changjiang quickly changed direction and strode to the foot of the tree.

“Brother…”

Su Hongying called out with a somewhat unnatural look on her face.

What could she say in front of so many people?

Su Changjiang found a small stool and sat down.

The meaning is obvious.

If you have something to say, say it. If not, get lost.

Su Hongying bit her lower lip, picked up a bench and sat down at the foot of the tree.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Brother, Fulai's flour mill has allocated two regular workers, and I want Zhiqiang to go."

Su Zijun and Su Ziyu on the side glanced at each other secretly.

It hadn’t even been two hours since they talked…

"This is a good thing!" Su Changjiang curled the corner of his mouth slightly and said indifferently.

Hearing Su Changjiang say this, Su Hongying's face lit up with joy, but she immediately hid her smile and pretended to sigh.

"It's a good thing, but the difficulty lies in that we can't offer anything good to gain connections..."

Zhang Fengxia handed the dried tea to Su Changjiang.

Su Changjiang took the tea and drank it silently without responding to her at all.

After not getting a response for a long time, Su Hongying sighed again, trying to attract Su Changjiang's attention.

But Su Changjiang was like a deaf person, turning a deaf ear to everything and just drinking his tea with his head down.

"Dad, is this tea delicious?" Su Ziyu asked.

Su Changjiang smiled and nodded.

Although he didn't know how to taste tea, he could tell that it was good tea. Just by looking at the clear tea soup, the refreshing taste, and the fragrant tea aroma, he knew that it was not cheap stuff.

"Do you know how much this tea costs per pound, your spendthrift daughter-in-law?" Su Ziyu curled his lips slightly.

"How much?" Su Zijun asked before Su Changjiang could open his mouth.

"One hundred and two."

As soon as Su Ziyu finished speaking, Su Changjiang's hand holding the enamel pot trembled.

"One hundred and twenty... Oh my God! Su Ziyu, you should take care of your spendthrift wife! If you continue like this, sooner or later you will have to follow her to beg for food..." Zhang Fengxia spoke first.

"Mom, I can't take care of your wife here, how about... you do it..." Su Ziyu gently fanned his young wife, with a helpless look on his face.

"What a waste!" Zhang Fengxia scolded with a smile.
