Zhang Yanli had been to Daliu Village and knew where Wang Hongxia lived.

Soon, they were standing at the gate of Du Ruo's house.

The courtyard wall is not high, Zhang Yanli pouted as she looked at the clean and tidy courtyard.

The dumplings were cooked, Wang Hongxia had just called Du Ruo up, and the mother and daughter were about to eat when they heard a knock on the door.

Du Ruo just wanted to stand up to see who is coming?

Wang Hongxia pressed Du Ruo down, "Eat quickly, I'll go and have a look, be careful that the dumplings won't taste good after a while."

Wang Hongxia stood up involuntarily, and left the main room.

When Wang Hongxia opened the gate and saw the three people standing at the gate, she was a little dazed for a while.

"You" Wang Hongxia pointed at Zhang Yanli, "You are Zhang Yanli?"

Wang Hongxia looked at the woman with half-white hair and haggard face in surprise, she really couldn't overlap with the woman in neat and clean blue overalls in her impression with a superior expression.

Seeing Wang Hongxia, Zhang Yanli forced a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Wait a moment!"

Wang Hongxia woke up instantly, and frowned at Zhang Yanli, "Who are you calling your sister-in-law? I am no longer your sister-in-law, so stop barking."

"Oh," Zhang Yanli smiled flatteringly, "After all, we were once a family, sister-in-law, don't be so ignorant."

"Besides, Du Ruo still calls me Second Aunt."

Wang Hongxia remained expressionless, "Tell me, what's the matter today?"

Zhang Yanli chuckled, "Sister-in-law, we are here to give you New Year's greetings, you can't even let us in, can you?"

Du Xiaoxue took the opportunity to shout sweetly, "Auntie, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Seeing the sweet smile on Du Xiaoxue's face, and Du Yaozu standing aside with dull eyes, the kind-hearted Wang Hongxia thought about it, and said,

"Come in, and go back quickly when it's warm."

Zhang Yanli responded, and the three of them were led into the house by Wang Hongxia.

Du Ruo was eating dumplings, stuffed with pork and green onions, with thin skin and lots of meat, it tasted delicious.

While eating, suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, Du Ruo turned her head and saw Wang Hongxia entering the room.

"Mom, come and eat the dumplings, it will be cold in a while."

Before he finished speaking, Du Ruo saw Zhang Yanli, mother and son following behind Wang Hongxia.

Du Ruo raised her eyebrows in surprise, she didn't understand, why did they come here?

When the three of them entered the room, they felt that their frozen bodies had finally warmed up a lot.

Seeing Du Ruo, Zhang Yanli greeted him familiarly, "Where is Du Ruo at home?"

Du Ruo nodded, "Why are you here?"

Du Xiaoxue called out obediently, "Sister Du Ruo."

Du Ruo glanced at Du Xiaoxue, but said nothing.

Zhang Yanli's eyes fell on the bowl in front of Du Ruo. The dumplings in the bowl were thin and white, steaming.

Zhang Yanli swallowed, feeling hungry again.

Du Ruo noticed Zhang Yanli's eyes and chuckled, "Have you seen enough?"

Zhang Yanli snapped back to her senses, and smiled at Du Ruo, "Me, where are you eating?"

Wang Hongxia nodded, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Zhang Yanli didn't answer Wang Hongxia's words, but touched her stomach, and looked at Wang Hongxia pitifully, "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry."

Zhang Yanli knew Wang Hongxia better. She was a poor woman, but she had a kind heart.

After hearing Zhang Yanli's words, Wang Hongxia subconsciously said, "If you're hungry, hurry home and eat."

Zhang Yanli: "Uh"

"Sister-in-law," Zhang Yanli's face collapsed, and she began to complain, "I want to be full too, but..."

"There's not much food left at home. If we don't eat sparingly, our third mother will starve to death."

"Sister-in-law, you don't know how difficult it is to go back to the village. Every day before dawn, you have to work in the fields, and you can earn a few work points after working hard."

"Our mother is paralyzed again, not to mention that I can't fix a job, and I still have to support her."

"And my son, seeing how old he is, he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law. Yaozu is the only child in my family!"

"If the incense is cut off from him, I will feel sorry for the old Du family!"

"Wait." Wang Hongxia's eyes showed displeasure, "Who is with your mother? That old godly woman Zhao Lihua is no longer my mother-in-law."

Zhang Yanli licked her face and said, "Sister-in-law, no matter what, you have called her 'Mom' for so long."

Du Ruo crossed his legs and sat on the sidelines watching coldly.

Wang Hongxia's face was dark, "If you have nothing else to say, then go."

"You are not welcome in our family."

After finally coming in, Zhang Yanli would just leave if she didn't achieve her goal.

"Sister-in-law, please help us," Zhang Yanli suddenly knelt down in front of Wang Hongxia with a 'plop'.

Seeing Zhang Yanli kneeling, Du Xiaoxue at the side also hurriedly pulled Du Yaozu to kneel down for Wang Hongxia.

"Sister-in-law, please take pity on us, we really can't live on," Zhang Yanli cried with tears,

"I am a woman with two children and a paralyzed old man. Life is too difficult."

"There are only more than ten catties of food left in the house. After we finish eating, we will go hungry. It doesn't matter if I, a mother, starve to death, but I can't let the elderly and children starve to death!"

"Sister-in-law, please take pity on us and lend us some food."

Seeing Zhang Yanli crying pitifully, Wang Hongxia felt a moment of pity in her heart, subconsciously Wang Hongxia turned her head to look at Du Ruo.

But Du Ruo was looking at Zhang Yanli who was kneeling on the ground with a smile. There was no sympathy in his eyes, only joy and banter.

"Mom," Du Ruo seemed to realize that Wang Hongxia was looking at her, and said suddenly, "I haven't told you yet, what did my second uncle's family and Zhao Lihua treat me after I arrived in the capital?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yanli's complexion changed drastically, and she immediately said, "Du Ruo, for the sake of me being your elder, let's save the elder some face."

"Even if I did something wrong back then, Yaozu and Xiaoxue didn't do anything wrong!"

Seeing Zhang Yanli's flustered expression, Wang Hongxia had a bad premonition, and immediately asked Du Ruo, "Girl, what did they do to you?"

"You tell mom!"

Zhang Yanli looked at Du Ruo pleadingly, and slowly shook her head with pleading eyes.

"Ah!"

Du Ruo chuckled and told Wang Hongxia directly.

"Mom, they called me to the capital and said they were introducing me to a job. In fact, their family has united long ago and wants to exchange me for Du Yaozu to marry a wife."

"The family who changed the marriage is not a good thing. That man was married once and was violent at home!"

"What?" Wang Hongxia exploded instantly, "How dare they trade you for a marriage?"

Wang Hongxia's eyes were wide open, filled with intense anger.

"How dare they?"

Wang Hongxia cursed angrily, "A bunch of bad things that eat people and don't spit out their bones!"

"I want to exchange my daughter for marriage," Wang Hongxia glared at Zhang Yanli who was kneeling on the ground, "You still have the face to ask me to borrow food?"

"Why don't you trade your own daughter for a marriage?"

"I can't help it, sister-in-law." When the incident was revealed, Zhang Yanli had no choice but to cover it up for herself. "At that time, Xiaoxue had already dated someone, so I couldn't break them up."

"Besides, whether Yaozu can get married is related to the important matter of whether our second wife can pass on incense.

"roll!"

Angrily, Wang Hongxia picked up the broom in the corner, and hit Zhang Yanli savagely.

"You still have the face to say that you have the face to say that your own daughter hurts yourself. You know that changing marriages is not good, so you exchange my daughter and marry your son a wife. Why are you so dark-hearted!"

The broom hit Zhang Yanli's body, making a "bang, bang" sound.

"Oh," Zhang Yanli had no choice but to get up from the ground and run away, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

"Stop beating, it hurts me to death, stop beating."

Wang Hongxia only chased and beat Zhang Yanli, while Du Xiaoxue on the ground turned pale with fright, and quickly pulled Du Yaozu up from the ground.

In order to avoid Wang Hongxia's pursuit, Zhang Yanli could only run out covering her head.

The two were chasing each other in the yard, and it was very lively for a while.

While hiding, Zhang Yanli said, "Sister-in-law, I really did something wrong with this matter, but this is what Du Weimin asked us to do, and it's none of my business!"

Anyway, both Du Weimin and his wife were arrested, so Zhang Yanli blamed Du Weimin on his head.

Wang Hongxia sneered, "Hmph, none of you are good guys. I'll settle the score with Du Weimin when he comes out."

"Sister-in-law," Zhang Yanli panted, and shouted at the top of her voice, "You want to hit me, and I admit it, but our mother is paralyzed and lying on the bed and can't move. You see, for the sake of her being an elder, pity her. Lend us food."

"It's better if she dies," Wang Hongxia's body trembled slightly in anger, "She must have been involved in the matter of exchanging my daughter for a marriage. I curse her to die sooner!"

Seeing that Wang Hongxia refused to eat, Zhang Yanli couldn't help it. She rolled her eyes and suddenly fell down, falling on all fours.

"Aiyo, aiyo," Zhang Yanli clutched her waist, "It hurts me to death, it hurts me to death"

Zhang Yanli's expression was pained, she even burst into tears, it didn't look like she was lying, Wang Hongxia was a little panicked.

"You..." Wang Hongxia put down the broom in her hand, "what's wrong with you?"
