The next morning, the two of them woke up early to wash up. Hai Tao needed a medical examination and couldn't eat, so he didn't even dare to drink his saliva before leaving.
"Eat a mouthful in the county after your physical examination. Don't starve yourself."
Liu Shufang took out a dollar and gave it to Hai Tao. The sesame seed cake was only worth a dime, so four or five of them would be enough to fill his stomach.
"No need, I'll go home and eat after the physical examination."
Ning Haitao refused to take the money and left in a hurry with his clothes. He was going to find Hong Xia's brother so they could have a date in the county.
Liu Shufang watched him leave and started lighting a fire to cook. There was still white noodles in the house, but she couldn't bear to cook. She felt sorry that Hai Tao was not at home and couldn't eat.
He used some oil to choke the pot and made a pot of muddled porridge.
She cooked two eggs for her mother-in-law. Whether the old man was good or not was her business. A daughter-in-law would do her duty, so she was not afraid of others talking about it.
Today, Zhang Sanhua also woke up very early. Originally, she wanted to call her son to go for a medical examination, but hearing the activity in the outer room, he would remember it himself! So he stopped talking.
Liu Shufang was in the kitchen making breakfast. Her anger was gone.
Ning Hai Feng's mouth had been picked up recently. She heard the sound of cooking and walked out of the house. She walked around the big pot and saw that there was only rice porridge, so she started to smoke her face.
Liu Shufang did not pay any attention to her as she continued to lay down the bowls and chopsticks leisurely, as if she did not see her sister-in-law at all.
Some people are just like this. If you answer her, you will kick your nose and face. If you hit on her, she will behave.
As expected, Ning Hai Feng's lips moved a few times, but she eventually didn't say anything and went back into the house.
"Mom, it's just muddled porridge, what's the point of eating?"
As soon as she entered the room, she started talking to herself. Her voice was not loud, and even Liu Shufang could hear her from the kitchen.
The corner of her mouth twitched into a mocking smile. Did she really think that she was a daughter of a Qian Jin?
Weren't you eating muddleheaded porridge every day before? After just a few days of eating, he had already begun to go crazy.
"What's wrong with the muddled porridge? "If you want to eat, don't eat."
Zhang Sanhua also felt that her daughter was being a bit unreasonable. She glared at her, scolding her and dressing herself at the same time.
She had also changed into a few dirty clothes these few days. They were all taken by Hai Tao to be washed. She wasn't happy about this, but she couldn't say anything about it.
"Mother, the food is ready."
Liu Shufang shouted from the kitchen. She had two eggs in her mother-in-law's bowl, while she and her sister-in-law only had porridge in their bowls.
There was a small dish of pickled vegetables on the table. It was enough for a simple breakfast.
"Mother."
When Liu Shufang saw her mother-in-law walk out of the room, she hurried to help her. Ning Hai Feng wanted to put the basin into her hands, but she was holding her mother's hands.
Liu Shufang used her eyes to look at her fuming appearance, and a hint of ridicule flashed across her eyes.
He helped his mother-in-law to the table and pushed the bowl of muddled porridge with the eggs in front of her.
"Mom, eat this bowl. There are eggs."
After saying so, she sat down on her seat and began to nibble on her chopsticks.
Zhang Sanhua was stunned for a moment. Was his daughter-in-law giving him food?
Her heart warmed at this thought, and she said to Liu Shufang in a soft voice.
"Shufang, don't cook for mom alone again in the future. This egg is worth five cents each. If you eat it and waste it, you can save up for the money."
"Mother, what waste? The most important thing is for your body to recover. Money is slowly earned. Hai Tao and I are young and have the strength."
Liu Shufang smiled. She had almost touched her mother-in-law's personality, so it was easy for her to settle things with him.
"Ai, I'm just a burden."
Zhang Sanhua shook his head sadly. All the elders in the other families could help her with some work, but who was like her and still needed someone to serve her?
"What are you saying? Mother, you are not allowed to speak of yourself in such a manner. Only with a mother can you have a home.
Liu Shufang spoke sincerely. If it wasn't for the Queen Mother's dark heart, her brother's legs wouldn't have been broken, and he wouldn't have been crippled, and she wouldn't have been remarried.
It was a trade with Hai Tao, and considering that she had a good life, it would be better if it were the hands of an old man. Only then could she truly die.
As she spoke, Hai Feng walked in from outside the house with a urine basin in her hands. Her face was filled with disdain, and Zhang Sanhua was very angry when he saw her.
"What, is it aggrieved for you to pour me a urinal?"
This was her own flesh and blood, a person who had grown up peeing and peeing all over the place. It was her turn to serve him, so how could he loathe her?
He might as well not be related by blood with this daughter-in-law! When Liu Shufang heard this familiar phrase, she frowned. It was only after thinking about it that she remembered that it was the wedding's second day that her mother-in-law had made things difficult for her.
This was truly a day where mountains and rivers meet each other, and sea phoenixes also had such a day.
She would not go out of her way to persuade him while eating her meal quietly. Hai Feng could only scold her.
"No!" Even my sister-in-law doesn't wait for me to eat? "
Hai Feng took the urine basin back to the house and moved it to Liu Shufang while she washed her hands.
Liu Shufang continued to ignore her as she leisurely drank her porridge, as if she did not hear her words.
Zhang Sanhua stared at Hai Feng in anger because she felt that her daughter was being too outrageous. Shufang did not say a word; she was targeting her daughter with every word.
"Even if you eat, it won't be enough to stop your mouth."
He glared at his daughter and slammed the bowl down in front of her.
Ning Hai Feng's lips moved, but she didn't dare to say anything else. When she saw the egg in her mother's bowl, her eyes became wide open.
Her family didn't cook any eggs throughout the year. There were two eggs in her mother's bowl, so she couldn't help but click her lips in desire.
"Eat, finish eating and go to school."
Zhang Sanhua had the intention of giving one to his daughter, but there were only two of them in total.
After reprimanding the girl, he ate all the congee and eggs in the bowl.
Ning Hai Feng glared at her sister-in-law again. She thought she was good at flattering, so why didn't she get one of the eggs?
Liu Shufang looked up and glanced at her with a smile that was full of mockery.
A stingy girl, yet she was so greedy.
"What are you laughing at?"
Ning Hai Feng relied on her big brother's absence, and only her mother. She thought about the matter of finding Liu Shufang and decided to get back her anger from yesterday.
Liu Shufang didn't respond to her words at all. She stood up and washed her bowl before speaking to her mother-in-law.
"Mother, put it on the table when you're done eating. I'll go get some Hashima."
"If Hai Tao isn't here, can you do it yourself?"
Zhang Sanhua also hoped that she could earn some money. After all, Li Guizhen was in hot pursuit of her, but she was a little worried that if she entered the mountain alone, she wouldn't be safe.
"It's alright. Lu Lu Lu, while no one else knows that this can be sold for money, I'll grab a bit more. Mom, I'm going now!"
Liu Shufang smiled and left with the basket on her back.
Ning Hai Feng looked at her as she walked out of the door. She moved her eyes to her mother and said, "Mother, I'm going to follow them and take a look."
