Parents are busy farming

"Little girl, who are you who hired us today?" A big man couldn't help but ask while stuffing cakes into his mouth.

Ye Zifen replied casually: "My uncle and grandpa's house!"

"The vegetable pancakes made today are really delicious, much better than that time." A younger person said.

"I can't keep your mouth shut even if there is food. Eat quickly. It's easier to work after eating." an older man scolded.

Sure enough, the young man stopped talking and concentrated on attacking the food in front of him.

Before finishing one vegetable pancake, the young man couldn't help but whisper to Ye Zifen again.

He said: "Your uncle is quite interesting."

"Huh? Why is it interesting?" Ye Zifen asked curiously.

He vividly described the performance of Lu Dashan and Lu Yongfu yesterday, and a few people next to him would add a word or two from time to time.

The more Ye Zifen listened, the more the corners of his mouth twitched.

‘Is this what is called waste? Even my father, who has been studying for many years, can chop down two or three trees, but my third uncle can't even chop down one tree. ’

Lu Dashan spoiled a loser, and his face was slapped loudly!

Everyone ate the cake, drank the water, and went to work again.

Ye Yongwang and Lu Dashan were loading the car, and Lu Yongfu was holding the car.

After the car was full, Ye Zifen and the others were about to lead the animals back, but Lu Yongfu climbed directly onto the log and sat down.

Ye Yongwang, Lu Dashan and others looked at it and their faces turned dark.

"Don't let the third brother follow you soon." Ye Yongwang said in a stiff tone.

Lu Dashan...

"Get off here quickly!" Lu Dashan scolded Lu Yongfu.

Lu Yongfu got out of the car on his hands and knees, lowered his head, and only dared to look at Lu Dashan with the corner of his eye.

Lu Dashan ignored him and came to the back of the bullock cart to drive the cart.

The three cars headed towards Lujia Village.

Back home, Lu Li and Lu Bai rushed out to help.

At dusk, all the wood was finally transported back to the old house. Just as Ye Yongwang was about to take his two daughters home, Mrs. Lu Li spoke.

"The boss paid the wages to others."

Ye Yongwang stood still and looked at her in disbelief. He even suspected that he had heard wrongly.

Ye Zifen and Ye Zifei also changed their expressions.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, we didn't bring any money when we went out to work today. You should pay for it yourself! We won't have dinner at your house. After all, there are still people at home waiting to eat!"

After Ye Zifen spoke, she pulled the unhappy Ye Yongwang away.

The meaning behind her words is that we are here to help. Logically, you should let us have a meal. If I don’t want to eat, it’s unreasonable for you to ask us to take money!

Everyone present probably understood the meaning of her words.

Lu Dashan angrily scolded Mr. Lu Li: "What are you talking about? Hurry up and get money for others. Didn't I tell you to prepare it?"

Lu Li reluctantly took out an old navy blue purse from her arms and placed it in Lu Dashan's hand.

Holding his tongue, he turned around and entered the main room.

Lu Dashan frowned and counted out three hundred coins and distributed them to the day laborers.

The day laborers took their money and left.

They did not lower their voices while discussing the Lu family's behavior while walking, and soon everyone knew about the Lu family's behavior.

When Ye Zifen returned home, she took a look at the dried radishes. Sure enough, they were all half-dried.

I went into the kitchen and made a pot of soup with soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, aniseed, onion, ginger and other spices. The soup was soy sauce colored.

After it cools down, fill the two jars with radishes, pour the soup over them and cover them.

Two jars of flavored radishes are ready to be pickled, and they will be just right to eat after half a month.

During dinner in the evening, Ye Zifen told her family what she had heard in the mountains.

Ye Yongwang worriedly said: "When the old man suffers in the future, the third child will not be able to do any work in the crop fields. If we don't hire day laborers, all the work will fall on him alone."

"My aunt warned them before when she saw how they raised their third child, but they didn't listen and there was nothing they could do." Wang Tinghe said.

"It will be fine when Zi Li stands up. Don't worry about it anymore." Ye Zifen said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifei quickly continued: "That's right, now the old man is still planning how to get some benefits from us! If you are still worried about others, you should worry more about us!"

When Ye Yongwang heard Ye Zifei's words, his face immediately turned red and he was ashamed.

Zi Zifen handed the steps and said: "Eat quickly! Have a good rest after eating. Everyone is tired today, especially dad. Please wash your feet with hot water before going to bed!"

Ye Yongwang felt much better after listening to his daughter's instructions.

"You two also washed your feet with hot water and walked a lot!" Ye Yongwang said gently.

Zhi Fen and Zhi Fei looked at each other and nodded.

Bai Dazhuang came to the Lu family early in the morning. He heard about the Lu family hiring day laborers to cut down trees yesterday.

He did not go to the main house to greet Lu Dashan and the others, but went directly into the side room of the third room to find Lu Yongfu.

"Brother-in-law, there are so many people in our family now, and the land is only there, so there is really not enough food. Your family has so much food, please lend us a few bags first!"

While talking, he sat on the edge of the kang and crossed his legs.

Lu Bai was cooking in the kitchen and didn't see him come in.

But Lu Hongguo inside the room heard Bai Dazhuang's words and immediately ran into the main room to tell Mrs. Lu.

Lu Li was so angry that she walked directly into the courtyard.

"You are a shameless whore. You go to your mother's house all day long to take things without saying a word, and you also instigate your mother's family to come to ask for food. I have never heard of the principle of having to support the in-laws. If you don't want to live in the old Lu family anymore, go back to you. My mother’s family!”

Bai Dazhuang, who was in the side room, heard the sound and came out, standing there carelessly.

"My mother-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm here to borrow food. You know who I am. Think about it before you speak."

When Mrs. Lu Li heard that Bai Dazhuang was threatening her, she rolled her eyes.

"You don't have to urinate to show what you are. What do you think of this place? How dare you come to my house and act mischievously? My eldest grandson-in-law is a high-ranking official in the Yamen!"

After hearing this, Bai Dazhuang was still scared for a moment, but he still said with a pinched neck: "No... you are just a distant relative and your eldest son-in-law. People don't recognize you anymore, and you say it with a smile on your face."

After hearing these heart-wrenching words, Mrs. Lu's face turned bad.

"You can try it and see if my distant relative works."

After saying that, he entered the main room and stopped talking to Bai Dazhuang.

The Lu family's food was all in Lu Li's hands. After she entered the house, no one could do anything, so Bai Dazhuang had no choice but to leave in despair.

But this incident planted a seed of dissatisfaction in Lu Bai's heart.

Bai Dazhuang is her eldest brother after all.

From her behavior of often taking things from her parents' house, it can be seen that she is a person who cares about her parents' family very much.

Today my mother-in-law said bad words to her eldest brother, how can I keep her from being angry!

But now people had to bow their heads under the eaves, so she tolerated it for the time being.

Lu Hongguo was not so lucky. When Lu Bai knew that she had gone to Lu Li to complain, he gave her a meal of stir-fried meat on a bamboo board.

The beating made Lu Hongguo's nose run wild with tears flying down her cheeks, but she was still not allowed to scream.
