"Little sister, your brother is right. These eggs are precious. How can we give them to someone like me? Don't waste them. We should keep them and give them to your second brother as a midnight snack!"
Liu held the eggs with an air of complete entitlement.
Wan Shu's face immediately darkened.
The mother and father of all Wan also turned pale.
Wan Feng, whose eggs were stolen, showed a look of inferiority on his face.
He neither got angry nor resisted, but simply nodded with his head down: "Yes, Second Sister-in-law is right, yes... It's a waste to feed someone like me. It's better to give it to my eldest and second brothers as a midnight snack. They've worked so hard today, they deserve to be well-fed."
Zhou had no intention of coveting the eggs, but after hearing Wan Feng's words, she couldn't help but feel comforted, knowing that this younger brother cared about their main branch.
For a moment, her gaze toward Liu was filled with condemnation.
However, in the end, she and Liu were just sisters-in-law, not elders, so it wasn't appropriate for her to say much.
As Liu's mother-in-law, Wan's mother had no such reservations and immediately stood up, wanting to scold this ignorant second daughter-in-law.
However, before she could speak, Wan Shu's voice rang out.
"Second sister-in-law, I don't understand what you're saying. You're saying my younger brother is this kind of person? I'd like to ask you, what kind of person is this kind of person?"
Wan Shu still wore a faint smile as usual, but anyone could tell that she was unhappy.
Wan Shu originally thought that today's atmosphere was special, and we shouldn't ruin it over some trivial matters.
But at this moment, Wan Shu really couldn't take it anymore!
Her younger brother is such a good person, how could he be bullied like this!
Wan Shu looked at Liu Shi with cold, indifferent eyes.
Liu felt uneasy under Wan Shu's gaze.
She couldn't understand how Wan Shu, a woman, could have such a strong aura, even though she was smiling. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Liu remained silent, Wan Shu patiently repeated, "Second sister-in-law, tell me, what kind of person is my younger brother?"
Needless to say, he must be a cripple!
Everyone in the village knows this!
However, under Wan Shu's imposing gaze, Liu dared not speak out directly.
Moreover, Wan's mother was watching her closely from behind. Wan Feng's leg was always a sore spot for Wan's mother, and she would never allow them to mention it at home.
Under the pressure of the two tigresses, Liu pursed her lips and could only start the conversation from another point.
"Of course, it's people who haven't done much work!"
“Little sister, think about it carefully. This afternoon, your eldest brother, your second brother, and even your father and mother were all in the paddy field helping you harvest rice, while your younger brother was threshing in the yard.”
"Who doesn't know that threshing is the easiest job? The younger brother did the easiest job, while his older brothers did the hardest job and put in the most effort."
The more Liu talked, the more she felt that her thinking made sense, and her expression returned to its initial matter-of-fact state as she asked everyone.
"Think about it, shouldn't the people who did the easiest work give the best things like eggs and meat to the people who did the hardest work to nourish their bodies?"
Liu's sophistry was so logical and well-founded that even Wan Quan, who had no intention of eating eggs, was caught up in it. He scratched his head, wanting to refute her, but he didn't know how.
The rest of the Wan family were basically in the same situation.
Seeing this, Liu's face immediately showed a smug look, and she raised an eyebrow at Wan Shu: "Little sister, don't you think that's the right way to put it?"
"That's actually a common saying."
Wan Shu was still smiling, but what she said startled Liu Shi: "I didn't go to the rice paddies to harvest rice today. I just stayed home threshing and cooking. According to what you're saying, second sister-in-law, shouldn't I also not eat meat and eggs, and should I give all these good things to you?"
Whether it's the eggs or this whole table of meat, it was all prepared by Wan Shu.
To put it bluntly, Liu Zhaodi is just a guest who came here for dinner today.
There's no reason for a guest to ask the host to give them all the food, especially since she's Wan Shu's second sister-in-law.
If word got out, wouldn't the whole village gossip about her behind her back?
Liu explained in a flustered manner, "Little sister, that's not what I meant. You and I are different. How can I compare to you?"
Wan Shu: "My younger brother stayed home to thresh grain, and I stayed home to thresh grain too. My younger brother did more work than I did, so why can't he be compared to me?"
Liu hesitated, unsure of what to say, her eyes once again revealing a look of grievance.
She couldn't understand why her younger sister was being so aggressive when all she wanted was a couple more eggs, since her sister was already so wealthy.
She wasn't wrong at all! Her husband does more work than her younger brother anyway! What's wrong with her fighting for a couple more eggs for her husband?
Moreover, the younger brother said he would give an egg to the eldest son's wife, and the younger sister did not point out the eldest son's wife's fault. Isn't it just because the eldest son's family has only sons and looks down on the second son's wife who only has daughters, that she bullies the second son's wife?
Ignoring what she was thinking, Wan Shu snatched the eggs back from Liu's hands.
With a stern face, she said, "I think you were deliberately targeting me today, Second Sister-in-law. Since you dislike me so much, I'm embarrassed to ask you for help any longer. Second Sister-in-law, you don't need to come starting tomorrow. Just stay home and rest."
If it had been half a day earlier, Liu would have happily agreed when she heard that she didn't have to come and do chores for Wan Shu.
But after eating such a large table full of meat, how could she bear to part with it!
