Yang Ruoqing walked in and took a look at the scene, "Hey, this looks like more than two ounces of meat!"

"No, your father-in-law and his two younger brothers are coming home tomorrow. I simply cut some more meat and made more dumplings and put them there for them to try tomorrow!" said Sun with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, "Mom is still thoughtful."

Shepherd's purse dumplings are a rare item among villagers.

Throughout the year, you can eat as much food as you want on one finger.

Yang Ruoqing took one look at the scene and immediately made arrangements.

"Mom, you knead the dough and roll out the dumpling wrappers, and I'll fry the fillings."

"Hello!"

Mother and daughter went their separate ways and got busy.

After a while, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen, and the aroma of meat spread.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Ruoqing deliberately closed the kitchen door to prevent the aroma from spreading.

However, there are always some people whose noses are more sensitive than those of dogs!

No, in the dining hall in the front yard of Lao Yang's house, Lao Yang's family, under Tan's urging, were eating dinner in a hurry.

"Eat quickly, don't wait too long, you will have to hold a lamp when it gets dark later. Eating by a lamp is a waste of money..."

Mrs. Tan was chattering and urging her daughter-in-law and granddaughters at the table. Over there, Old Yangtou also led the men of the Old Yang family to cook rice.

"Mom, I can't swallow this clear soup!"

Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Liu raised her bitter face and begged Mrs. Tan pitifully.

Mr. Tan snorted and gouged out Mr. Liu's eyes: "If you have something to eat, just eat it. If you don't like it, just leave it. I won't be able to stop your mouth even if you eat!"

Ms. Liu curled her lips, rolled her eyes in a circle, and then moved closer to Mr. Tan.

Mrs. Liu said with a mysterious face: "Mom, I just came from the toilet, and I heard the third sister-in-law hiding in the kitchen chopping vegetables. She didn't know what they were, and the door was closed. Now I smelled the fragrance,

I’m afraid it’s minced meat!”

Mrs. Tan was busy eating without even bothering to raise her eyes.

"It doesn't matter what she chops, that's her family's business and has nothing to do with us!"

"Mom, that's not what I mean. What I want to say is, what are Sister-in-law and the others doing behind our backs? How do you get such a nourishing life when you eat delicious food every day?"

Mrs. Liu looked puzzled.

Some time ago, I had a big pot of snake soup.

Then came another fat and strong hare!

Such big meat buns were delivered last night!

Today, I'm chopping meat again!

Where do all these good things come from?

Mrs. Liu has been racking her brains to think about these things these days!

"Every family has its own life to live, it's not yours, don't be rude, it won't come even if it's rude!"

Mrs. Tan scolded Mrs. Liu angrily, and saw Ms. Liu biting the end of her chopsticks and still looking like she was thinking about it.

Mrs. Tan snatched the bowl in front of Mrs. Liu, poured the multi-grain rice that had not been touched with her chopsticks into the bowl of the eldest daughter-in-law Jin next to her.

"My dear, you are working very hard shoveling the pig pen today, please eat more!"

"Many, thank you, mother!"

Jin raised his head and said timidly, then lowered his head and continued to eat.

Mrs. Liu came to her senses and found that the bowl in front of her was empty. She was really anxious.

"Mom, why did you give my meal to my sister-in-law? I am pregnant with your eldest grandson. If I don't have enough to eat, your grandson will also starve..."

"Stop talking about my grandson!"

Mrs. Tan raised her eyelids and glanced at Mrs. Liu: "Aren't you capable? Go and wag your tail and beg for mercy with your third sister-in-law. They eat meat and give you soup to drink. Go ahead!"

Madam Liu was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth, not daring to contradict Madam Tan, and looked for help at Yang Huaming, the man at the table above.

Yang Huaming buried his head and just picked up the bowl and poured it into his own bowl, turning a deaf ear to the movement here.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her grievances.

She looked at the rice in Jin's bowl again. It was so disgusting that she wouldn't be able to eat it even if it was given back to her!

"I'm going back to the house first!"

Madam Liu stood up, said goodbye, turned around and walked towards the door of the dining hall.

Behind him, Tan's cold voice came.

"Go back to the house after eating. Who will take care of the dishes? Fourth child, you are too lazy. If you can't have another son, just write a letter of divorce and send her away. We, the old Yang family, don't want her anymore!"

The fourth child, Yang Huaming, snorted, picked up the bowl and heard another loud clatter.

"If you don't say a few words, I won't be able to keep your mouths shut even while eating!"

Lao Yangtou finally spoke out, and when a pair of tiger eyes swept around, everyone in the dining hall fell silent.

At the door of the dining hall, Mrs. Liu was in trouble. She could neither stand there nor leave, nor stay there.

Finally, Mrs. Liu stamped her feet and reluctantly entered the kitchen.

Boil water, wash pots, and prepare for washing pots and dishes at night.

After a hasty dinner, except for Liu and Jin who were washing pots in the kitchen, everyone else in the old Yang family was sent back to the house early by Tan.

Mrs. Tan entered the east wing carrying a basin of foot-washing water, where Lao Yangtou was sitting on a long stool beside the Eight Immortals table, smoking a dry cigarette.

Behind the lingering smoke, Old Yangtou's face was blurred and incomprehensible, with a pair of gray brows furrowed together, as if he was thinking hard about something.

"Daddy Mei, it's time to wash your feet."

Mrs. Tan shouted and came to Lao Yangtou with a basin in hand.

Lao Yangtou kept the tobacco stick in his mouth, and raised his feet to let Tan take off his shoes.

In a farmer's family, the whole family depends on the man to support the family.

Plowing fields, plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, climbing mountains and rivers, it is men who carry these beams.

Men are heaven and women are earth.

It is natural for a woman to wash a man's feet.

Even the most aggressive woman in the village has to squat in front of a man when she returns to her house at night, soaking his feet and squeezing his shoulders.

These are rules and habits passed down from our ancestors, which have penetrated deep into the souls of the men and women in this land. They are as normal as eating, dressing, and going to the toilet.

"Daddy Mei'er, is the water temperature still good? Do you want to exchange it for more hot water?"

Mrs. Tan asked in a lowered voice while washing Lao Yangtou's feet.

Lao Yang shook his head, which meant that it was no longer needed.

Mrs. Tan stopped asking, lowered her head and continued washing.

The room was very quiet, except for the occasional splash of water.

After a while, Lao Yangtou pulled out the cigarette stick from his mouth, knocked it on the leg of the table next to him, and knocked out the cigarette shit inside.

"When Lao San and the others were separated, we gave them two acres of paddy fields, two acres of dry land, fifty kilograms of rice in the husk, and not even half a copper plate!"

Old Yang made a sound, squinted his eyes, and continued with a thoughtful look on his face: "My original plan was to let them go out to suffer hardships and drink the northwest wind, so that they could understand the benefits of living together in this nest. I look forward to it."

They can learn from their mistakes and turn around. Mother Meier, what do you think is going on with them? How can they live a peaceful life?"

Hearing this, Tan snorted in his nostrils and did not stop washing his feet.

"Who knows? I eat good food every now and then, including snake soup and rabbit. That fat girl went to town yesterday and bought a big meat bun with thin skin and lots of stuffing. I don't know where the money came from.
