Chapter 10

The two children are really too thin. They need more nutrition to grow stronger, taller and more beautiful.

On the other side, Sun Yanhong was very angry after leaving Xu Yi’s house.

My mother-in-law is so partial. There are so many people in the family, but she actually gave the last bit of white flour to Xu Yi to eat.

The white flour is fine, but I have stored that half piece of bacon for a long time, so my mother-in-law gave it to me as a gift.

It’s because Xu Yi gave birth to twins, one of whom is a boy. Otherwise, why would the mother-in-law coax Xu Yi like this?

Thinking of this, Sun Yanhong looked at her belly.

If she had given birth to a son instead of a daughter, her mother-in-law would definitely not be so excessive as to give all the best things to others.

The more Sun Yanhong thought about it, the angrier she became. When she saw Li Chunling walking back from work, she got hot-headed and ran over.

“Mom, you’re back?” Sun Yanhong took the farm tools from Li Chunling’s hand and said with a smile.

Li Chunling glanced at her indifferently and responded.

The villagers who were walking back together asked Sun Yanhong with a smile: “Yanhong, have you prepared dinner at home for your mother-in-law to eat? Your mother-in-law works every day, and her hard work is much harder than yours at home.”

Sun Yanhong pretended not to hear the mocking tone in the man’s words and rolled her eyes at him: “Of course I’m done. My mother-in-law works hard. When she gets home, she just has to wait for dinner. Unlike you, you will go back home alone.”

The person who spoke was a woman in her fifties who had never given birth to a child in her life. When she heard this, her face instantly turned ugly, and she turned and walked away without saying anything else.

Li Chunling glanced at Sun Yanhong disapprovingly: “Can you speak? Why do you bring up other people’s sad stories for no reason?”

Sun Yanhong curled her lips: She doesn’t care, she can say whatever she wants.

“Mother-in-law,” Sun Yanhong changed the subject, “I heard that you sent the last bit of flour and bacon in your house to my third brother’s wife’s house?”

Li Chunling said “hmm”.

Sun Yanhong rolled her eyes. “Mom, my third sister-in-law gets a much larger allowance than you do every month. Not to mention the flour, I’m also planning to use the bacon at home to supplement the family after the autumn harvest. If you give away the last half piece of bacon, what will all the mouths at home eat when the time comes?”

Li Chunling frowned and said, “I’ll buy the nourishing things for my family when the time comes. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Sun Yanhong was choked, but did not give up.

“Mom, let’s be fair. My third sister-in-law has money, so she definitely won’t look down on these things we have. How about you…”

“Don’t mind your own business!”

Before Sun Yanhong could finish her words, Li Chunling scolded her.

“If you don’t want to work in the fields, that’s fine,” Li Chunling said sternly. “You’re not allowed to interfere with the food and money at home. I bought the bacon and flour with my Beiyuan allowance. I give it to whoever I want. It’s none of your business!”

“But…” Sun Yanhong tried to hold it in, but couldn’t help herself and said, “Mom, Xinxin had a fever a few days ago, and you didn’t even bother to get her some nutritious food. My third sister-in-law’s two children are so strong, there’s no need to give the last piece of bacon to them. Besides, my third sister-in-law was planning to sell her two children anyway…”

“Shut up!”

Li Chunling glared at her and said, “Who should I give the things my son bought with his money to? I need your approval, right? Then you will be the head of the family. Don’t call me mom anymore.”

In this era, the word “filial piety” is particularly important. No matter what Sun Yanhong said, she would never dare to disobey Li Chunling.

“Mom, I’m just saying, why are you so angry?” Sun Yanhong hurried over to pat Li Chunling’s back.

Li Chunling impatiently waved Sun Yanhong’s hand away: “I’m telling you, the story of your third sister-in-law selling her child is completely false. It’s all just a rumor. You and her are family. Don’t be like others and spread rumors everywhere.”

Sun Yanhong was not very happy: “I understand.”

Li Chunling warned: “If I hear any bad rumors in the village again, I will be the first to come after you!”

Having said that, he went in without caring about Sun Yanhong.

Sun Yanhong stood at the door, feeling indignant.

Why?

The village is so big and has so many people. Even if she doesn’t spread anything, someone else will. If someone else spreads it, will it be blamed on her?

“Why are you standing at the door, sister-in-law?” A woman with a big belly holding the hand of a five-year-old boy stood at the door and looked at her with a smile. “Is the meal ready at home? Fengfeng and I are hungry after walking such a long way.”

It’s my second brother’s wife Liu Cuiying.

Today Liu Cuiying took her son Chen Feng back to her parents’ home and just came back now.

Sun Yanhong was in a bad mood and had no expression: “Not yet, when you come back, go to the kitchen and cook together.”

Liu Cuiying stood still: “Sister-in-law, my baby is already seven months old. If I stand for a while, the baby will move non-stop. Today I went back to my parents’ home and met the barefoot doctor in our hometown.”

At this point, Liu Cuiying paused, her smile growing wider. “The barefoot doctor said my belly looks pointed, so it’s probably a boy.”

Sun Yanhong’s body stiffened and her eyes fell on Liu Cuiying’s belly.

That protruding belly looks pointed.

Sun Yanhong thought about her round belly when she was pregnant with Shen Xin, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

“They say having a boy is more precious, and my mom also told me to rest more when I’m older,” Liu Cuiying said with a smile. “Besides, if my sister-in-law doesn’t work in the fields and can’t even cook, what’s the point?”

“Sister-in-law, don’t you think so?”

After saying that, Liu Cuiying walked into the room without waiting for Sun Yanhong to answer.

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Cuiying raised her voice and shouted, “Mom, I brought some things back from home. My mother asked me to give them to you as a filial gift.”

After a while, Liu Chunling came out of the house, holding Liu Cuiying, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the room affectionately.

This scene almost hurt her eyes, and Sun Yanhong almost bit her teeth in hatred.

You stupid bitch, you act so arrogantly just because you gave birth to a boy, and you’re always pretending to be awesome. You have the nerve to say that you’re going to honor your mother-in-law with just those dried sweet potatoes?

She never thought that every time she went back to her parents’ home, she not only couldn’t bring anything with her, but she had to bring a few eggs or mixed noodles and rice from her husband’s home every time.

Sun Yanhong cursed Liu Cuiying in her heart when Li Chunling’s voice suddenly rang out from the room: “Old lady, who’s waiting for you to cook with the cold stove? Are you waiting for me to serve you? The second daughter-in-law has come back from a long journey and still hasn’t had a single hot meal. She’s starving! Watch out for your skin!”

Sun Yanhong was frightened and replied repeatedly, “Mom, I’ll go cook right away!” Then she went into the kitchen to work.
