Parents are busy farming

"My daughter is useful, and she even knows how to mend his brother's clothes. As a mother, you know the child in front of you, and you don't even have the status of a son in your heart. If you do this again in the future, get out of here and go back to where you were before. Go home!”

Old man Zhang told his step-sibling that money and other things were never within the hands of this step-sibling, so he was afraid that she would subsidize his previous son.

When Mrs. Zhang saw Old Man Zhang getting angry, she immediately did not dare to respond.

Mrs. Zhang Wang was a child bride, her husband was more than ten years older than her, and she managed to live a normal life for several years, but her husband died after being captured by a young man.

She was left with an orphan and a widowed mother. Her eldest brother's family was all made up of girls and they had no sons, so her original husband's family took away her sons and drove her out.

Fortunately, old man Zhang took her in and settled down after giving birth to a child.

Who would have thought that the sister-in-law of the family died again, and the son's clothes and other things had to be found by her.

After all, he is her biological son, so can she ignore it?

"Xiang Yang is going to get a wife. When he does, he won't need me anymore. By the way, can you give Xiang Yang some money when he gets a wife?" Mrs. Zhang said cautiously.

Old man Zhang looked at her sideways and said, "Didn't you make two quilts? My daughter didn't even give her a piece of cloth. Do you think it's appropriate to give Bai Xiangyang more money?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang Wang lowered her head and did not dare to speak.

When Zhang Chunyue got married, Old Man Zhang asked her to prepare a new set of bedding. She didn't want to, but she didn't expect that she would be waiting here!

"Tomorrow, the eldest girl will come back with her new son-in-law. You prepare a good meal. If you disgrace me, don't even think about taking away the two quilts." After finishing his words, Old Man Zhang walked towards the back hill with his hands behind his back.

He also set a trap to see if he could harvest hares and pheasants.

Seeing Old Man Zhang leave, Mrs. Zhang Wang breathed a sigh of relief. Go to the kitchen and see what's appropriate for tomorrow.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Zifen and her sisters went to Zixuan's house.

Zhang Yu was widowed in her early years. She went back to her natal family for help, but was kicked out, so she had no contact with her natal family for many years.

Zhang Huaiyu inherited his father's official position, and the uncles in his family had turned against each other in order to compete for this position.

The people who have a close relationship with the Zhang family are the families of several old county government chiefs.

Zhang Huaiyu's father used to treat these arresters well, and it was thanks to the efforts of these old arresters that Zhang Huaiyu could succeed to the post of Dianshi.

Those who came to Zhang's house today were these old catchers and their families, as well as the Ye Zifen sisters.

Most of the family members of the catcher's family are from the ordinary people, but they have seen the world and don't care about everything.

So when Ye Zifen got along with them, they were quite comfortable.

Zi Zifen did not go to the kitchen to help today. She was a guest, and it was okay if no outsiders could help.

Going to the kitchen at this time will make people think that she looks down on her sister's house, and her price has dropped, right?

Ye Zifen took Ye Zifei and Ye Ziwei to chat with several families.

One of the women looked at the three sisters too enthusiastically and asked them about their ages and what they were doing at home.

When Ye Zifei wanted to answer, Ye Zifen quietly tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Zhi Xuan quickly took over the conversation and said calmly: "My sisters are very stupid. At home, they only learn about female celebrities from their mother."

The man restrained himself a lot after hearing this.

However, they would still look at the three sisters from time to time, and the ladies from other families secretly pouted at this person's behavior.

This woman is the step-in-law of a head catcher, but the first lady is her biological sister.

And she herself was a widow who remarried and brought a boy. Looking at the three sisters this way, she looked at the child he brought.

Others secretly laughed at her overestimating behavior.

Only the woman herself didn't notice it, or rather didn't take it seriously.

In her eyes, her own Zaizai is the best, even a princess, let alone a little peasant girl.

When he saw Ye Zifei, he was not satisfied, and he was thinking of hiring Ye Zifen for his son.

Ye Zifen felt extremely disgusted, but her basic self-control kept her from changing her face throughout the whole process.

Before I went home, I told my sister, "It's better for my sister to have less contact with those families who don't know what to do, so as not to get yourself into trouble."

It was the first time that Zhi Xuan saw her sister hate someone so much, so she said: "Don't worry, some people are just stupid and have wishful thinking, and we don't need to take action. Even the spit from other people can make her feel ashamed."

"Fifth sister is not happy, so she needs to be coaxed quickly." Ye Zifei joked at the right time, which can be regarded as a rescue for the eldest sister.

Only then did Ye Zifen become happy, "Okay! We're going back too! Sister, you can clean up on your own!"

Early in the morning, Zhang Gaoyi and his son went up the mountain again, but the traps they set were in different places, so they separated at the foot of the mountain.

When Old Man Zhang sets his trap, it’s good to hit the mark once out of ten.

Zhang Gaoyi really hits the mark nine times out of ten.

So when the two men went down the mountain again, they saw Zhang Gaoyi carrying a pheasant in his hand. The colorful pheasant looked like a rooster.

But Old Man Zhang returned empty-handed.

"You will never die of hunger relying on this craft in the future!" Old Man Zhang said proudly.

Zhang Gaoyi looked at the pheasant in his hand and said to his father: "Dad, is this what you pursue? I will not live like this if I am not satisfied. Look at our family, I don't want my daughter-in-law to suffer with me in the future!"

Hearing his son's words, he smiled and said: "Little bastard, how old are you to have a wife? Your father has not saved enough money for you to get a wife! You just want to get a wife?"

"This doesn't stop me from being optimistic about the candidate now! I promised in advance that no one can bully the wife I choose, otherwise don't blame me for turning against her."

His father still has the final say in his family. He needs to get rid of his father first, and then his father can calm his mother.

Zhang Gaoyi is actually a bit generous in the eyes of others, but no one dares to provoke him.

"You brat, my wife is not here yet! I have begun to forget about my parents." Although Old Man Zhang said this, he was extremely happy in his heart.

His son is a kid with ideas and he doesn't have to worry about it in the future.

When the two fathers returned home, Zhang Gaoyi went to kill the chicken.

His second sister, Zhang Xiayue, saw the pheasant in her elder brother's hand and swallowed her saliva with greed.

"Brother! I want to eat a chicken drumstick!" she said unceremoniously.

"What are you going to eat chicken drumsticks? My eldest sister is coming home from her wedding today. Don't be ignorant, otherwise I won't give you delicious food in the future." Zhang Gaoyi said to the second sister.

"You little bastard, you don't know who is near and who is far away, don't you?" Mrs. Zhang's scolding voice came from the kitchen.

"Who is far away? As far away as me!" Zhang Gaoyi shouted back unhappily.

As Zhang Gaoyi spoke, he grabbed the pheasant's wings and comb with one hand, plucked the feathers from the pheasant's neck with the other, and then touched the chicken's neck with a kitchen knife.

Put down the kitchen knife, raise the body of the chicken, lower the head of the chicken, and let the chicken blood flow into the clean bowl below.

When the chicken's blood flowed down drop by drop, he threw the pheasant into the yard and ignored it.

Go into the kitchen with a bowl to boil water, and then pluck the chicken feathers.

The pheasant was thrown into the yard and ran around for a while. It still flapped its wings and wanted to fly out of Zhang's house.

But after a few times, he fell to the ground, struggled to get up, and fell again.

In the end he never stood up again.

At this time, Zhang Gaoyi's water had been boiled and he was about to throw the chicken into the hot water to scald it and pluck the feathers.

"Brother! Just wait a moment, and I'll pluck some nice chicken feathers to make shuttlecocks to play with!" Zhang Xiayue ran over and asked her brother to pluck the feathers.

She doesn't know how to do it herself. What if the chicken is not dead and she is scolded?

Zhang Gaoyi plucked out a few beautiful chicken feathers from under the chicken's neck and handed them to Zhang Xiayue.
