"Don't be afraid. The seven of us are now a family. As long as you don't do anything wrong, I will always stand by your side and cannot turn against outsiders."

She said this not only to the sixth child, but also to the other five daughters.

"Tell me the truth. I don't blame you. Tell me what happened to my hand."

Is my mother caring about her?

Lao Liu's nose felt sour, and he blinked his big eyes and stared at Meng Suisui in disbelief.

Lao Liu said aggrievedly, "When I was peeling a walnut at grandma's house, I accidentally dropped it and broke it. Mom, I promise you, I didn't want to eat it secretly. I just wanted to lick it and taste it. Grandma caught me using a wicker stick. I made a prototype."

The second child came out from behind the door and said angrily, "When was the beating? Why didn't I know?"

Lao Liu wiped away his tears and said, "It was grandma who called me into the house to beat me. Grandma didn't let me tell my sisters. If I told her, grandma would beat her even harder next time."

Old Mrs. Liu is nothing!

Meng Suisui was so angry that she clenched her back molars and slapped the table.

"From now on, none of you are allowed to go to grandma's house without my permission, let alone help grandma with work. If grandma gives you trouble, you can say I won't let her, and let her come to me if she has any problems. Did you hear everything?"

The daughters saw that their mother was angry and quickly said they understood.

Meng Suisui asked the children to eat walnuts and hazelnuts in the yard, while she took out the medicine from the basket on her back.

She and the children were all injured. When she went to the drugstore to sell medicine today, she bought some medicine to treat trauma and also prepared some commonly used medicine for the house.

After closing the door and going back to the house, she applied medicine to herself in front of the mirror. After eating for a while, the children tasted the walnuts, and then she asked them to come in.

I told the children the dosage and usage and let them apply it by themselves.

The ointment was cool when applied to the injured area, and it suddenly felt less painful.

It seems that my mother still cares about them, and she doesn't care whether they live or die.

After applying the medicine and coming out, the daughters were dumbfounded when they saw a table full of things.

"Oh my god, why are there so many things!"

"Mom, where did these things come from?"

"There is still meat. Mom, you didn't go to rob it, did you?"

Meng Suisui said angrily, "These were all bought with money from selling herbs and wild vegetables."

"Really? Did you sell it for so much money?"

"The herbs my mother picked yesterday were indeed many and good. It's normal to exchange for more money."

"Wow! One chicken, two chickens!"

"There's even pork belly."

"Look, it's a cake!"

"There is also orange candy. Wang Erya has eaten this candy before and she said it was delicious."

......

The daughters chattered and discussed in front of her. Soon after they were happy, some of them couldn't help but worry.

The boss hesitated to speak.

"Mom, you don't need to buy so much for yourself. It will stink if you can't finish eating so much meat on a hot day. We sisters don't need to eat such good food. We won't die after being hungry for a few days. You should save it first when you have money next time. Give it back to my dad, we can get through the difficulties together first and then enjoy it, and it’s not every day that you are lucky enough to collect so many medicinal materials.”

Meng Suisui realized that her daughters were afraid that she would not be able to raise enough money for a divorce, so they were prepared to go hungry and reduce their expenses to support her.

The girls are really...cute.

"Don't worry, I've decided to divorce you. You should eat and drink. You don't have to worry about family matters."

After Meng Suisui finished speaking, she patted her pants and stood up, saying, "I will stew these two chickens tonight. I bought rice and simmered another pot of rice, pork..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her eldest daughter.

"Don't eat the pork yet. We have fish we got from grandma's house. These two chickens are very fat. The seven of us can't finish them."

It’s not easy to see some meat and fish. It would be a waste to eat it all in one meal.

She wanted to persuade her again, but then she heard her mother ask.

"The weather is so hot, do you have any good ways to preserve meat?"

"Put it in a bag and put it in a cellar. It can be kept for two or three days."

"Then just do it your way. I won't care. Call me when the meal is ready."

After speaking, Meng Suisui walked out of the house with her hands behind her back.

The temperature had dropped at this time and was not as hot as noon.

She went for a walk in the backyard and found that the vegetable garden was well taken care of by her daughters.

The eggplant seedlings are already covered with finger-long eggplants, and the bean trellis is also covered with bean seedlings. Many plants are blooming and bearing fruit. It won’t be long before you can eat fresh vegetables from your own garden.

There has been a drought this year. My house can carry water to irrigate the fields, but the crops in the fields are almost dying of drought.

Drought means reduced land production. I don’t know how the people will get through this year.

I hope God will stop joking with the rural people who are digging in the soil, and next year will be a good year with good weather and good weather.

The little daughter ran out holding the meat buns with a childish voice.

"Mom, eldest sister asked me to give you a big meat bun."

"Mom, you're not hungry. My uncle left this for you. You guys can share it."

Watching her little daughter running away, Meng Suisui thought it would be nice to have a daughter.

The boss is a good cook. After a while, the aroma of chicken filled the yard.

Meng Suisui was sitting on the stone at the base of the wall thinking about something when she heard the kid next door talking to his mother.

"Mom, it must be Lao Liu's chicken stew. The smell comes from her house."

"Don't talk nonsense. Her family is so poor that they can hardly afford to eat. How can they have chicken to eat? It's definitely not her family."

"Wow, mom, I want to eat chicken too."

Meng Suisui patted the ashes on her butt and stood up. When she returned to the house, her eldest daughter was about to lift the lid of the pot.

She leaned forward and took a deep breath.

Yeah, it smells pretty good.

The eldest daughter is really good at cooking, no wonder she can make the kids next door cry just by the taste.

The eldest daughter saw her coming and asked, "Mom, the food is ready. Should we eat it now or later?"

Meng Suisui glanced at her daughters who were hanging around the stove and said, "Eat now. First, take out a small pot and send it to your grandma's house."

"Mom, what did you say?" the eldest daughter exclaimed.

"I said I would send a small pot of chicken to your grandma's house. What's wrong? Are you reluctant to send meat to grandma?"

The eldest daughter shook her head subconsciously.

"Of course I'm willing."

Grandma was very kind to them, and their family had taken advantage of her family for so many years. They should have ordered something back, but she didn't dare to say this in front of her mother.

She just didn't expect that her mother would give her grandma something.

The boss bent down to serve the meat, Meng Suisui asked.

"From now on, you will take turns running errands. Who will deliver meat to grandma this time?"

The eldest daughter was the first to say: "Me."

"Okay, then the boss will deliver it this time. Go and come back quickly. We will wait for you to come back and eat together."

Meng Suisui put the lid on the pot as she spoke, her tone and movements very natural.

The eldest daughter had a sore nose and coughed to cover it up. She quickly put the chicken in the basket, put a towel on top and went out.

Mom usually likes to show off her goodies and wants to let the whole village know about them, but today she specifically asked her to keep a low profile and go to a crowded place.

Both chickens were very big and fat. When she stewed them, she added some fresh hazelnut mushrooms that she and her sister picked up in the mountains today. After serving a small pot for her grandma's house, it was enough for them and her mother to eat, so she hid her selfishness. When serving dishes, I served a few extra pieces of meat to my grandma’s family.

Just like my mother said today, grandma's family is not kind to them, and they should do their best to repay them when they have the opportunity.

Thinking that her mother was waiting for her to eat chicken at home, she couldn't help but quicken her pace, wanting to finish it quickly and run back immediately.

She had always gone to her grandma's house secretly before, but this was the first time she straightened her back and walked in openly. She stretched her neck and shouted when she entered the hospital.

"Grandma, I'm here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the room opened with a bang, and Meng Xiang, the uncle's youngest son, jumped out of the room, twisted his neck and shouted into the room.

"Grandma, the eldest sister of my aunt's family is here!"

Mrs. Meng's voice came out before she arrived, and she lowered her voice to stop him.

"Don't yell, don't yell, quietly, hush."

I saw old Mrs. Meng walking out quickly with small steps, and pointed at Liu Zhaodi's forehead with her finger.

"Keep your voice down and let your mother know that it's time to spank you again. You are the most cautious child on weekdays. Is there something urgent at home?"

The tone that seemed to be reproachful was actually full of concern.

Grandma's reaction was all because of her mother's fright. When she saw her, her first reaction was that something happened at home. This shows how unexpected Grandma was to her sudden arrival. She couldn't think of any other possibility except that something happened at home.

Afraid of worrying her grandma, Liu Zhaodi said quickly.

"Mom asked me to deliver food to you."

She said, lifting up the towel and taking out the steaming chicken stewed with mushrooms from the basket.

Old Mrs. Meng froze in place, pointing to the chicken in disbelief.

"What did you say? Your mother asked you to deliver food to me?"
