When Chen Juan heard that the head of the family wanted to send her back to her parents' home, she immediately became anxious. She pulled Lu Qingshan's arm and cried, begging him not to send her back to her parents' home.
"I don't need to send you back to your parents' home, but you can't give your parents food in the future, and you can't secretly go out to borrow food behind my back." Lu Qingshan turned around and said with a gloomy face.
"Okay, okay, as long as you don't send me back to my parents' home, I'll agree to anything you say." Chen Juan nodded repeatedly in agreement, fearing that she would be sent back if she said it too late.
"Then hurry back to the house and stop thinking about those things. Living a good life is better than anything else." Lu Qingshan glared at his wife and muttered
"Yes, yes, I won't do that again, I won't do that again." Chen Juan echoed.
The issue of food here is over, but on the other side, there are the Ma family brigade and the Gu family.
Gu Minghe was so hungry that he tossed and turned on the kang.
"Can you please stop moving around? I was just about to fall asleep when you woke me up." Liu Xiaocao was about to fall asleep when she was woken up by her husband tossing and turning. She opened her eyes and said impatiently.
"You're still not happy. If you hadn't given all the food to your mother's family, would I have starved like this?" When Gu Minghe heard Liu Xiaocao's voice, he remembered the scene he saw a few days ago.
That day, when he came back from the main hall, he ran into his wife who was going out with a bulging bag in her arms and wearing a straw raincoat.
He didn't say anything, but just followed his wife quietly, wanting to see what she was going to do with the things.
After walking for a while, he saw his mother-in-law waiting there. Then her wife took out something in her arms. He looked carefully and found it was a small basket of sweet potatoes.
This instantly reminded him of the food that was gone at home.
He asked why the food was eaten up so quickly, and it turned out that his wife had given it all to her parents.
This really makes people grit their teeth in hatred.
"Stop it." Gu Minghe shouted, and stepped forward to grab the basket.
"Dang, boss, why are you here?" Liu Xiaocao was frightened when he heard the noise, and turned around and asked
"Why am I here? If I hadn't come home, you would have given all the food to your parents. Why don't you think about what we will eat if we give away these sweet potatoes?" Gu Minghe looked at his wife with a sullen face and asked
"Dahe, this is not Xiaocao's fault. If I hadn't been so weak and couldn't earn work points, I wouldn't have come to your house to borrow food." Mrs. Liu was thin and weak, with red eyes at the moment. After hearing this, Gu Minghe's heart softened instantly.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that my family is out of food. You can go to other sisters' houses to have a look, okay!" Gu Minghe said without even looking at the expressions of the two, he held the basket in his arms and ran back home
Liu Xiaocao was also unhappy when she heard what her husband said: "What do you mean I gave all the food to my mother's family? I just gave the food to my mother and you took it back. How can I still give it to her?"
"Don't be so stubborn with us. I caught you this time. But when I didn't catch you, you don't know how much I gave to your parents." After Gu Minghe finished speaking, his stomach started to growl again, and he began to toss and turn as he lay there.
"I'm telling you, don't blame me. We have no food left. That's all we need to eat. Also, there's no food at home. Go to your parents and see if you can borrow some." Liu Xiaocao's stomach was growling with hunger at this moment. He stretched out his hand and pushed the person next to him to go down to the field to ask.
"I'm not going. Last time I went, my dad sent me back before I could even say a word. I'm not going this time no matter what you say." Gu Minghe covered his head with the quilt. No matter how Liu Xiaocao poked him, he would not go.
"You're not going, are you? Then I'll go. Don't eat the food I'll borrow." After Liu Xiaocao finished speaking, he went out, put on his shoes and a straw raincoat.
When Gu Minghe heard that his wife had really gone, he also went downstairs to put on his shoes and stood at the door to see if she could borrow the food back.
"Xiao Cao is here." Lin Dacui was sitting in the main room sewing shoe soles. When she saw the visitor, she greeted him.
"Well, mother, don't sew the soles of shoes today. It's bad for your eyes." Liu Xiaocao said with a smile while sitting aside
When Lin Dacui heard this, she looked up in surprise at her third daughter-in-law who never came to visit unless there was something wrong. She thought that she must have come for something, otherwise she wouldn't be so sweet.
"If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't talk about useless things." Lin Dacui glanced at the man and then lowered her head. She scratched her scalp with a needle and said lightly.
"Look at what mother said. I am fine, but I can't come to see you." Liu Xiaocao choked when she heard her mother-in-law's words, and then said with a smile.
"It's true. You are the kind of person who would never come to my door unless you have nothing to do." Lin Dacui continued with a sneer.
"Mom, I really have something to do today." Liu Xiaocao saw her mother-in-law saying this again and again, so she said directly
"See, I told you that you were fine and would never come to my house." Lin Dacui knew the third daughter-in-law too well. If other people's affairs could not wait for you to come to her door, she would just be dreaming in the daytime and not wake up.
"Mom, I came here this time just to say that my family is out of food and we haven't eaten for several meals." Liu Xiaocao's eyes began to turn red as she spoke.
"No food? Well, then, let's starve." Lin Dacui put down the sole of the shoe in her hand and said with a sneer.
"Mom, you can't do this to us. You just don't like me. Dahe and Dahua are all from your Gu family. You can't just watch them starve with me, can you?" When Liu Xiaocao heard her mother-in-law say this, she hurried forward and grabbed her mother-in-law's hand, saying pitifully:
"Yes, you, as a daughter-in-law and a mother, can be so cruel as to give food to your parents and let them starve. Why can't I do the same?" Lin Dacui said as she shook off Liu Xiaocao's hand.
"Mom, I don't like what you said. What do you mean I gave the food to my parents? That day was the first time I gave the food to my parents, and Dahe found out. Now you've taken it back, right? Why are you accusing me?" Liu Xiaocao fell to the ground with the help of her mother-in-law, slapping the ground and shouting.
"Don't throw a tantrum in front of me. If I say I won't lend it to you, then I won't lend it to you." Lin Dacui said, picked up her things, stood up and was about to leave.
"Mom, please lend us some. If you don't lend us some, we will starve to death in the house." Liu Xiaocao would do anything to borrow food.
Seeing her mother-in-law was about to leave, she stood up and held Lin Dacui's legs to prevent her from leaving.
"Let go of me! I tell you, even if you hold me, I won't give you any food." Lin Dacui said as she pulled Liu Xiaocao's hand hard, trying to pull her hand away.
"No, mother, you have to lend me some food today. If you don't lend us some, we will really starve to death." Liu Xiaocao saw that her hand was about to be pulled down, so she hugged it with her arm instead, as if to say, "I will not let go unless you give me food."
"Let go, let me go..."
