Second Aunt, covered in soot, staggered over and shakily handed the silver to Liu Niang.
Is this still the same arrogant and domineering second aunt?!
The three children rubbed their eyes in disbelief, then looked at Liu Yingying in unison.
Is the change after being brought back from the dead really that significant?!
Liu Yingying disdainfully tossed the silver coins around, walked straight past the three children, and flicked each of them on the forehead.
"What are you standing there for? Go home and cook!"
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission to punish evil! You have earned 80 points!]
Not bad at all.
Liu Yingying smiled contentedly and strode away.
"Liu Niang, wait for us!"
Zhu Zhaodi snapped out of her daze, not even bothering to look at her disheveled second aunt, and quickly followed Liu Yingying with her younger siblings in tow.
As the sun set, the four figures cast long shadows, dappled with golden light. Ma Qiumei's eyes gradually became tainted with malice.
"Liu, you just wait! Just you wait!"
Night fell over Taoyuan Village, and in the abandoned mill in the west of the village, Ma Qiumei was having a secret rendezvous with Su Daqiang.
After a series of heavy breathing sounds, Ma Qiumei tied her belt and urged Su Daqiang on.
"When are you going to make your move? That bitch knows about us. The longer she stays, the more of a threat she becomes."
Are you sure you want to kill someone?
"I..."
Ma Qiumei looked resentful and gritted her teeth.
They don't really have the guts to demand a life for a life.
But when she thought of the humiliation she had suffered today, she was filled with hatred and vented her anger on Su Daqiang; "So how exactly do you plan to shut that bitch up?"
Liu Yingying?
She was beautiful and well-proportioned; it would be a shame if she died.
Su Daqiang narrowed his eyes, stroked his chin, licked his increasingly dry lips, and clicked his tongue, "You're just afraid of being drowned? That's easy, as long as she's like you... isn't that enough?"
"You bastard, Su Daqiang! So you've been eyeing what's in the pot while eating what's in your bowl!"
Enraged, Ma Qiumei grabbed a handful of dry grass and threw it at him.
Su Daqiang didn't care at all. He chuckled softly, rubbing his hands together, and greedily pounced on Ma Qiumei, treating the lump of flesh beneath him as if it were Liu Yingying.
Achoo!
Liu Yingying rubbed her nose and served the boiled eggs.
On the table were roasted wild rabbit meat and wild vegetables stir-fried with rabbit fat.
"It's meat! It's meat!"
These three dishes alone were enough to make these three children, who hadn't eaten meat in three years, swallow their saliva repeatedly, their dark eyes fixed on the food, their little hands itching to eat.
"I want to eat this!"
Zhu Jiawang couldn't wait to tear off a rabbit leg and take a bite without hesitation. The succulent rabbit meat burst open at his teeth, and the juicy oil filled his mouth. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
"Liu Niang is an elder; she hasn't even touched her chopsticks yet. What's your hurry?"
Zhao Di was both displeased and heartbroken to see him like this.
"But sis, I'm hungry! I haven't eaten for days..."
Zhu Jiawang reluctantly let go, mumbling, "If the Liu family hadn't emptied our house, we wouldn't be starving..."
Liu Yingying was speechless.
From an objective point of view, although the original owner had a hard life, it is also true that she was cowardly, incompetent, and unable to make sense.
Her husband died, her husband's family didn't care, and her own family was unreliable; she cried every day.
Her two younger brothers-in-law seized her family's land, but she didn't say a word. She couldn't even afford to eat, and she was still worried about the bride price for her younger brother.
Please, instead of wasting your time, why don't you worry about yourself first?
Coming to her senses, Liu Yingying awkwardly rubbed her temples.
"Liu Niang, do you have a headache?"
Zhao Di quickly silenced Zhu Jiawang and moved closer to Liu Yingying.
"No, I just feel that I was wrong before."
Liu Yingying laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Only now do I understand that only the strong deserve respect in this world. Over the years, I have been at the mercy of others and have been filled with self-pity. You must have been living in fear all the time."
Liu Yingying looked up and saw the three children with red eyes and pouting lips, looking aggrieved.
She was right. It was precisely because of this unease that they vented all their inner resentment and anger on the original owner, showing absolutely no respect.
Fortunately, they are all still young, and they can correct their mistakes, which is a great virtue.
Besides, there's plenty of time in the future.
Liu Yingying gave a meaningful smile and took a deep breath.
"Let's eat."
"Alright, it's getting late, let's eat first!"
As Liu Yingying spoke, she broke off two of the fatter hind legs and gave them to Zhao Di, while giving the other two meatier front legs to the Zhu brothers.
But this distribution immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the two brothers.
"Why should it be divided like this! She's a girl, and she gets two fat hind legs! We're men, how can we only get such skinny front legs!"
Zhu Jiawang protested, clearly dissatisfied.
"Well... I'll switch with you, I can't finish it anyway..."
Zhao Di timidly tried to give way to her two younger brothers, but Liu Yingying immediately stopped her.
"Change what? What's wrong with being a girl? Are girls just supposed to go hungry?"
The two brothers were stunned by Liu Yingying's sudden shout. Although they were facing Liu Yingying, their four little eyes all turned to Zhao Di, the older sister, who was thin as a rake and obviously smaller than them.
"Women are inherently weak and are constrained by the concept of valuing men over women. You are boys, so naturally you cannot feel this suffering and take it for granted. Little do you know that all people are born equal and there should be no distinction of high or low, noble or lowly, based on gender."
You have completely misinterpreted the phrase "male superiority and female inferiority." It means that men should possess noble character, and women should be humble and tolerant.
It advocates that women have a corresponding status in a natural and harmonious family and will not be discriminated against, rather than saying that women are inferior to men in everything and using all sorts of reasons and means to bully women!
I even want to change her name, Zhao Di!
Liu Yingying finished speaking in one breath, and the three children turned pale. The unprecedented remarks left them somewhat dazed.
When my father was alive, he often said that male superiority over females was a matter of course, and the opposite was against common sense.
So, is she going against common sense?
But why does what she says seem to make more sense than what her father says?
The three children were confused and stared silently at the leg in their hands.
Liu Yingying softened her voice, but her authority remained: "You are siblings, you should support each other and stand together against a common enemy, not fight over who is better than whom, making yourselves a laughing stock."
The children didn't understand, but seeing Liu Yingying's determination, they all nodded understandingly, and the ham in their hands instantly smelled delicious again.
Night fell quickly, and Liu Yingying wanted to take a shower before going to sleep.
However, water resources are scarce here, and it is normal for locals to take a bath only once every ten days or half a month.
After falling into the water and then engaging in a physically demanding fight, Liu Yingying felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.
However, the Zhu family's water vat had long since run dry.
"Got it!"
