Chapter 33 What Do Outsiders Say About Me?

When there is a famine like this year, the public food provided to the country is not enough. When the time comes, you will still owe the troops, and you will have to get food from home to make up for it.

If the family is not separated, the mother-in-law can provide this amount of food. If the family is separated, the mother-in-law will stare at them and ignore them, won't they all starve to death?

No, in this way there are only disadvantages and no advantages to dividing the family.

"Sister-in-law, let's forget it! My little sister is quite pitiful. Besides, how much can she eat? When she gets married, isn't she going to send food to the Zhang family every month? She doesn't need to send it when she comes back."

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiuli did not stand on the same front as her cousin, but instead tried to persuade Li Xiuqin like a peacemaker.

"You, you really can't hold up the wall with mud.

Li Xiuqin hated her cousin and scolded her cousin, but without her cousin as a comrade, she didn't dare to propose a family separation.

Jackie Chan seemed to have a good temper, but that didn't touch his bottom line. If he really got offended, ten cows wouldn't be able to pull him back.

"Little sister, let's see what game Third Brother brought back for you."

Zheng Chengbao's loud voice came from outside the door, and he sounded happy when he heard it. As soon as he finished speaking, he entered the house, holding a colorful pheasant in his hand. His mouth was split to the base of his ears, and his face was full of excitement.

"Ha, I, Xinyue, am very lucky. Look how fat this pheasant is. It will be stewed in a while. I, Xinyue, must take good care of it."

When Gao Guilan saw her son bringing back the pheasant, she immediately grabbed it and weighed the weight first. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She attributed the credit to Zheng Xinyue for her third son's hunting of the pheasant.

"Third brother."

Zheng Xinyue could no longer stay in the room, so she walked out of the room with a smile and sweetly called Third Brother.

"Oh, hehe."

Zheng Chengbao was very happy when his little sister called him brother. He scratched the back of his head with a smile, took out five or six wild duck eggs from his pocket, and handed them directly to Zheng Xinyue without even giving them to his parents.

"Little sister, let my sister-in-law bake it for you later."

"Why don't we make egg drop soup and let everyone eat it together?"

Zheng Xinyue took the wild duck eggs and was held in high esteem by the stars. She was also under great pressure.

There were parents above and five little carrot heads below who were watching eagerly. She was left to eat alone and couldn't swallow it!

"No, you are so weak that if you take good care of yourself, I can make a bowl of custard with these duck eggs for you for three or four days a day!"

Gao Guilan's eyes widened, and she immediately snatched the duck eggs. Her daughter was too kind, and if the pack of wolves could feed them, there wouldn't be enough.

"Mom, I'm in good health."

Zheng Xinyue saw the hope in the eyes of the five children extinguished instantly. They lowered their heads pitifully and swallowed hard. She was a little embarrassed.

It's better not to give hope, and see that the wild duck eggs in your mouth can't be eaten, and the disappointment will be even more painful.

"Okay, okay? You go inside and lie down to rest. The third brother goes to kill the pheasant. I still have some chestnuts saved last autumn in the house. I will stew them in the pheasant later. The second brother, go and get some potatoes from the cellar. You guys Don't poke around, five little ones, and go bring the wild vegetables to the kitchen. The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, are steaming the cornbread tonight. Today I want you to eat meat too. Remember, this is all thanks to your little sister. No. You little sister, you can’t eat this pheasant.”

Gao Guilan was like a commander assigning tasks one after another. Everyone else was doing work, but Zheng Xinyue went back to the house and lay down to sleep, and then asked the whole family to accept her favor?

"Listen! From now on, you have to respect your aunt when you grow up. Without her, you won't have chicken and steamed buns to eat. Do you hear me?"

Over there, Gao Guilan yelled at the five children, forcing them to say that they should respect Zheng Xinyue.
