Chapter 44

Ji Xiujing thought with some anticipation, although pork is considered a luxury for the people in the village, if you can eat one meal a month, you can be considered a wealthy family.

But their father is a well-known hunter in the village, and basically every time his father comes home, they can have a delicious meal of pork.

Presumably tonight is no exception.

Ji Xiuping also thought of going together, and swallowed involuntarily.

Even though they didn't like to see that woman, they couldn't deny that she cooked well. Every time they brought lunch to the school, everyone was envious.

It's just that this also strengthened Ji Xiu's determination to hide the silver that his father gave to the family. That woman who obviously didn't have any silver in her hand could cook so well for them every meal, so she must have secretly hidden it from them. Silver!

As Ji's eldest son, Ji Xiuping will never let an outsider take advantage of Ji's family!

However, what he didn't know was that the reason why Mu Daiyao was able to take care of the Ji family so well without getting much copper was because she put all her meager dowry into it.

Later, when her dowry was used up, Mu Daiyao could only repair clothes, embroider and embroider flowers by the weak candlelight every night, and take them to the market to sell some money.

Ji's family didn't know about these things, and Mu Daiyao also felt that she should do it, so she kept suffering.

"The fried pork is delicious, but it lacks a bit of flavor."

Ji Xiuping put down the brush and commented thoughtfully.

"Brother, you have to judge food." Ji Xiujing didn't forget to pat his elder brother's ass, and secretly encouraged him, "Then brother, when can we go to the kitchen for dinner?"

Ji Xiuping put away his homework very satisfied, and just about to answer, the door was kicked open from the outside!
"Ji Xiujing, you villain, I don't have a younger brother like you! You actually sued my master behind my back!"

Before the person arrived, Ji Xiukai's angry voice came in along with the sound of kicking open the door.

Ji Xiujing's face turned pale, and he subconsciously hid behind Ji Xiuping, not daring to face his second brother's direct questioning.

After all, he is his youngest brother, so Ji Xiuping is more towards him, so he protected Ji Xiujing behind him, frowned and said to Ji Xiukai: "Second brother, how old are you, and you are still frizzy, and you are planning to make a fuss even if you don't care about your family." Shall we break it together?"

"Ask him, what good deed he has done! Why did he decide to sue my father about my quilt!"

Ji Xiukai was also terribly wronged. He had been hungry since the morning, and was told by that stinky woman that he was on a hunger strike to protest. It was hard for a person who made him so good-faced.

"It's not because that woman bullied you, second brother, I wanted to avenge you, but I didn't dare to provoke her openly, that's why I told dad, why are you so fierce, second brother. "

Ji Xiujing flinched even more after being attacked by Ji Xiukai, defending himself with a trembling voice.

"Are you going to help me get revenge? It's all right now, both daddy and that stinky woman believe that I'm on a hunger strike now, are you happy now?"

The more Ji Xiukai talked, the angrier he became, and the more he felt that his fourth brother must be a traitor. He betrayed them and went to that stinky woman long ago, which is why he did so many things against him.

"Do you think that woman can't be provoked now, and you are going to join her?!"

At the end, the angry Ji Xiukai raised his fist high at Ji Xiujing, and he was about to beat him up.

"What are you going to do?"

A cold voice sounded, and Ji Xiuping, who had understood everything, took a step forward and just stopped between his two younger brothers.

"Brother, don't you think this is the fourth brother's fault? Why do you always help him speak!"

Ji Xiukai was anxious and angry. If he hadn't been restrained by Ji Xiuping because of his natural temper, he would have beaten his fourth brother a long time ago.

Ji Xiuping's voice sounded flatly: "Did I tell you last night not to provoke that woman openly when your father is at home? Why do you want to wet her bedding?"

It is true that he did something wrong, and Ji Xiukai's voice dropped immediately, not daring to look directly into Ji Xiuping's eyes, and whispered, "I, I'm so angry."

"And you, have I ever taught you not to act impulsively in everything, we are brothers, and everyone else is outsiders, but now you see for yourself, what kind of internal strife has become because of an outsider?"

After teaching Ji Xiukai a lesson, Ji Xiuping pushed out Ji Xiujing who hid behind him and thought he had escaped, and blamed him in a serious tone, tearing up Ji Xiujing's words.

After a while, Ji Xiukai admitted his mistake dejectedly: "I made a mistake, brother."

"I also know I was wrong."

Ji Xiujing also hurriedly followed up to apologize, and timidly looked at the elder brother with angry brows, and didn't dare to play tricks for a while.

He went to sue his father only because that woman made him take the blame several times, causing him to offend his brothers. He wanted to make his second brother miserable, so that his father's impression of that woman would be worse, but he didn't expect to be turned down instead. Hit a rake.

Thinking of this, a gloomy look flashed across Ji Xiujing's immature face.

It doesn't matter, he will settle these accounts with that woman one by one sooner or later!

"Let's go, let's go to the kitchen for dinner, and apologize to Dad in front of her."

Ji Xiuping tidied up the things on the table, calmly called his two ineffective younger brothers, and walked towards the kitchen together.

Being able to make the three brothers disagree within a day is considered to be a bit of a skill of that woman, because he had underestimated her before.

In the kitchen, Mu Daiyao was thinking about how to distribute the family's food so that they could eat for a few more days.

Although she bought a few buckets of broken rice today, Mu Daiyao was already half full from pastries. She didn't intend to waste food, so she kneaded a brown rice pancake for herself and stewed a bowl of porridge.

Picking out the last few pickle leaves from the pickle jar next to it can be regarded as a solution to the evening meal.

But winter is coming soon, it’s time to pickle cabbage, cook some noodles and cut some sour cabbage into it, it’s really delicious to eat.

It would be better to add some chili pepper and some lard, the more Mu Daiyao thought about it, the more excited she became, and her eyes lit up.

As for the restless little bastards of the Ji family, Mu Daiyao had no intention of cooking for them at all.

The system reminded a little inconspicuously: "Host, the children have been hungry all day today."

"That's right," Mu Daiyao suddenly realized, she nodded, and added a child's worth of rice in the pot, "You can't starve Tongtong, now is the time to grow your body."
