The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"Good child, your third grandmother is very powerful and looks down on others. We can't afford to eat them. Wait for your great grandfather to come back and buy them for you." Zhou Huaihua raised her voice, full of dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I am very capable. Goudan, your grandmother is a coward. Why don't you live with me from now on? Third grandmother will give you snacks every day." She wanted to overpower Lu Chaoyun with words, but she was no match for her.

"You are a bad guy, I don't want to live with you." Goudan said shockingly. How could a four-year-old kid say such a thing if he had not been influenced by it?

Lu Chaoyun was not angry, but laughed, "Sister-in-law is well-educated. Goudan, learn from your grandma and you will become a great man in the future." Before returning to the house, he did not forget to remind Zhou Huaihua, "Sister-in-law, don't forget to make lunch."

Zhou Huaihua jumped up and down in anger, "An Dajuan, are you dead? You don't even care about the child. What time is it and why don't you come out to cook?"

A young woman came out from the east wing, with tattered threads on her body, and hurriedly asked her, "Mom, what do you want for lunch?"

Zhou Huaihua rolled her eyes at her. "You are such a tactless person. Why are you asking? You just cook what you normally eat. Do you want to cook lavish food? How can our eldest wife afford those precious things?"

Jiang Muxia was upset. There was discord in the family and everyone wanted to take advantage of each other. How could this family be peaceful?

She couldn't go out alone, so she had to find a way to get her sister to the county to be with her.

When she was not at home, Mu Tao was weak in character and Lu Chaoyun looked down on her. She had long since become a free servant in this family, and could be ordered around by everyone.

She really couldn't figure out what Lu Chaoyun was thinking. Not only did she not protect her own daughter, but she also called her a fool openly and secretly.

"Mom, the owner of the tavern has opened a food shop and is short of staff. Let Mu Tao go. The salary is 150 cents a month." This salary is very high for a girl.

Some men in the village cannot even get such high wages.

"Okay. Are you still short of people? Why don't you let your father go too. It's cold now, and there's not much work outside. He's idle anyway, so he might as well earn some to support the family." After Lu Chaoyun made a careful calculation, he found that with three people earning money, the family could still have a lot left after paying for what was handed over to the government.

"Isn't Dad a bricklayer? There happens to be a job in the county. Let him find a few people and come with me to the city the day after tomorrow." The shop needed to build a fire wall and dig an ice cellar, and my dad could use those skills.

"That's great. When your father comes back in the evening, I won't let him go out to work. He can only earn two dollars after working hard all day. My daughter is really capable." Lu Chaoyun was happy. His eldest daughter has become more and more promising since she recovered from her illness.

"Mom, where is Mu Tao?" She had been home for a long time, but her sister, who usually weaves at home, was nowhere to be seen. She was a little worried.

"I sent her to your aunt's house to learn weaving. No matter how much I taught her, she just couldn't learn it. It made me angry just looking at her. She will be back in the evening."

"Okay, I'll go find her after lunch." She paused, thinking she still had to remind her, "Mom, don't call her stupid anymore. The more you call her stupid, the more she will live up to your expectations. As a mother, I don't think highly of her, so how can you expect others to take her seriously?"

"I just want the best for her. This child is a hopeless case and no matter how hard I try to teach her, she won't improve." Lu Chaoyun seemed impatient when talking about his second daughter.

"Mom, put yourself in my shoes. How would you feel if others treated you with contempt? Good children are praised. Look at Haitang. When has she ever seen Aunt Yin criticize her for anything bad?" Jiang Muxia felt angry when she saw her mother's stubborn attitude.

Seeing her daughter's cold face, Lu Chaoyun said unhappily, "Okay, now you're bothering me, I won't talk about her anymore."

Jiang Muxia was angry and had no appetite. "I won't eat anymore. I'll take Muyang away. We'll go to my aunt's house and come back tomorrow."

Ignoring Lu Chaoyun's call, she went to Aunt Chun's house next door to pick up Jiang Muyang, and the two siblings went to Donggang Village together.

The brother and sister arrived at the Li family compound and happened to catch them having lunch.

"Mu Xia's leg injury has healed, so she can eat fish. I'll go add some dishes for everyone." Li Jiyi saw the girl in a green shirt, black pants and shiny big braids from afar, put down his bowl and ran to the kitchen.

"Why is this child so clumsy?" Lu Chaoxia grumbled in dissatisfaction when she saw her youngest son put down his half-eaten meal and ran to the kitchen.

"Auntie, I'm here." Six-year-old Jiang Muyang tiptoed into Lu Chaoxia's arms like a little ball of fur.

Lu Chaoxia held him in her arms, like her precious treasure.

The small fish I bought last time are still in the water tank in the kitchen, and they come in handy now.

"Sister, I can eat fish now." Jiang Muyang danced with joy. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Jiang Muxia sat down in front of Li Jiru and asked him quietly, "Have you finished the pattern I gave you?"

Li Jiru ate the rice in his bowl and mumbled back, "No, I don't understand. I'm worried about wasting wood, so I'll wait until I see you and ask you clearly before making any plans."

"Let's eat first." Jiang Muxia was afraid that he would choke, so she handed him a bowl of water.

Jiang Mutao was sitting in the corner of the table, eating her meal. She didn't say a word from beginning to end. She avoided his gaze and said quietly to the air after finishing her last bite of food, "I'm going to the workshop."

He walked faster and faster in small steps, as if someone was chasing him from behind.

Lu Chaoyun held Jiang Muyang in his arms, worried, "This child is always timid, what should I do in the future?"

Jiang Muxia's eyes were red and she felt distressed. She quickly called her, "Mutao, come back. I have told mother that you will follow me to work in the county in the future." She stood up and walked towards her sister, took her hand, and pushed her to the empty seat next to her.

"Try Brother Ji Yi's cooking later." Jiang Muxia gave her a reassuring look.

Jiang Mutao looked up at her, nodded, and sat still again.

"Fried crucian carp, deep-fried white strips, and scallion pancakes." He quickly spread bean paste on the roll, placed the fish and shredded radish on it, and handed it to Jiang Muxia, "You eat first."

Several points were given to three siblings.

"Alas, a son is no longer under the control of his mother when he grows up. I have raised this son in vain." Lu Chaoxia pretended to be disappointed.

Li Jiru teased him, "Little brother, give Fourth Brother one portion as well."

"If you want to eat it, make it yourself." Li Jiyi rolled his eyes at him.

"Look at what you said. As brothers, you are the ones who are unwilling to improve your sister's food?" Jiang Muxia understood what her aunt meant. After spending more than half a month with Li Jiyi, she could feel that he treated her differently.

"If you ask me, among all the brothers in our family, only Brother Jiyi treats me as his own sister." She said this, and she didn't believe that her aunt and Li Jiyi would not hear the meaning behind it.

There was a moment of awkwardness in the courtyard.

Li Jiru broke the deadlock, "Muxia, after you finish eating, come with me to the woodworking room and we will discuss how to make the pattern."

Jiang Muxia sensed her sister's nervousness, and squeezed her palm, her eyes soft as water, "Don't worry, you go wherever I go in the future."
