The two squatted outside the house for a while, then opened the door and prepared to go back to the yard.

But as soon as Mrs. Zhang opened the door, Zhang Mingzhu suddenly fell to the ground, looking at Mrs. Zhang with fear and fear in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhang was angry and had nowhere to vent her anger. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Mingzhu's ears and cursed, "What are you doing sneaking around here, you bitch?"

Zhang Mingzhu was so frightened by Mrs. Zhang's vicious look that she didn't dare to say a word, but her ears were pinched so hard that tears kept rolling in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhang spat on Zhang Mingzhu and pressed harder on her hands, "Cry, why are you crying? Ever since you were born, nothing in our Zhang family has gone as planned."

"You are simply a nuisance. Why do you stay in this world? You might as well die."

The more Mrs. Zhang scolded, the more energetic she became. At this moment, she would scold whatever she said that did not please her mouth. Later, she felt uncomfortable with the scolding, so she took off one of her shoes, dragged Zhang Mingzhu and beat her on her body.

Zhang Mingzhu screamed in pain. She looked at Old Man Zhang beside her and cried, "Grandpa, please tell grandma to stop fighting. Grandpa, please save me."

At this time, Old Man Zhang was still upset because of what happened today, so he couldn't care about Zhang Mingzhu. He just looked at it coldly and then returned to the house.

Zhang Mingzhu cried even more painfully when she saw that Old Man Zhang ignored her. Mrs. Zhang pinched her arm hard and cursed, "You bastard, you still want your grandpa to save you."

"Let me tell you, you are a bitch that no one wants. Not only the two of us don't want you, but your parents don't want you either."

After saying that, Mrs. Zhang put on her shoes, turned around and hit Zhang Mingzhu with the broom on the wall. After a while of tossing, Zhang Mingzhu was beaten until she had no strength to cry anymore and lay motionless on the ground.

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes fiercely, turned around and went back to the house.

Zhang Mingzhu lay on the ground for a long time. She carefully stood up straight and then walked towards the door of her home.

On the other side of the Si family courtyard, Aunt Song and Yan Shu were sitting there talking. As for Jiang Tuge, she picked up the basket and picked some vegetables from the field, and then took a few taels of meat from the space.

Although the two of them are very kind to me, in the end they are outsiders. There are conflicts of interest between these people, and Jiang Tuge knows this very well.

In the kitchen, Aunt Song looked at the rich variety of dishes and the meat on the side, and said quickly, "Tu Ge, put this meat away quickly."

"Neither Yan Shu nor I are greedy people, so we will keep this meat for the children."

Hearing this, Jiang Tuge smiled and shook his head, "Auntie, just listen to me. I still have some left. It's good for these two children to eat some vegetarian dishes occasionally."

Jiang Tuge naturally didn't want to take it back. Since she took out the meat, she planned to let the two of them eat it, "That won't work. You two are my guests today. How can I let the guests not eat well?" What about? Besides, Auntie, you and Yan Shu have helped me a lot."

Aunt Song and Yan Shu looked at each other, knowing that Jiang Tuge had no choice but to let her go.

"Tuge, if anyone has a problem with you in the future, it will be with me, Mrs. Song." Aunt Song held Jiang Tuge's hand.

Jiang Tuge nodded, "In that case, I will rely on Auntie from now on."

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, they had already selected a basket of vegetables. Yan Shu was in a good mood today, and he also mentioned Yan Le's studies with Sun Gongshi, which made the Si family yard burst into laughter.

As for the cooking, Aunt Song and Yan Shu naturally took care of it. The two of them also knew very well that Jiang Tuge was not an expert at cooking.

At first, Jiang Tuge was planning to start a fight in the kitchen. But she was too slow, so Aunt Song and Yan Shu persuaded her to leave. In the yard, Si Shuo and Si Jin were squatting and playing. When they looked up, they saw Yan Shu and Mrs. Song pushing Jiang Tuge out.

Si Shuo stood up and looked at Jiang Tuge, and after a long while he said, "Mother, you are so pitiful."

Pitiful? Jiang Tuge looked at the kitchen and then at Si Shuo, "Silly boy, my mother is not pitiful. Look, Grandma Song and Aunt Yan are so good to me."

After the words fell, Si Shuo curled his lips and said, "Mother is shameless. It was obviously Grandma Song and Aunt Yan who thought you were too stupid, so they kicked you out."

Jiang Tuge coughed lightly, as if Si Shuo had read through Si Shuo's thoughts, "Who said that, your mother is the smartest."

"It's just..." Jiang Tuge secretly glanced at Si Shuo's expression and continued, "It's just that Grandma Song and the others feel sorry for me and don't let me work."

Si Shuo nodded pretendingly and said, "So that's it!"

"Well, that's it. Why did I lie to you?" Jiang Tuge nodded seriously, but there was still a guilty conscience on his face.

Si Jin came over, looked at Jiang Tuge and said, "Mom, dad doesn't let you cook on weekdays, maybe it's because he feels sorry for you."

Jiang Tuge raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Si Jin is so smart. Your father just loves me. That's why he doesn't let me cook."

Si Jin nodded and shook Si Shuo's arm, "Brother, when we grow up, we must also feel sorry for our mother. We won't let her do any work."

In the kitchen, Aunt Song and Yan Shu also laughed after listening to what the two children said. After all, if any family had two children like this, they would wake up laughing in their dreams.

In the yard, Jiang Tuge entertained two children. Mother and son are like friends.

Aunt Song's eyes curled up, "Yan Shu, although this Tu Ge didn't light the way before, she is blessed now."

"Yes, Auntie is right." Yan Shu nodded and continued, "Yan Le came back to see me two days ago and learned a lot from Sun Gongshi."

"He and I are very grateful to Sister-in-law Jiang. Without her, Yan Le might not be able to study with Sun Gongshi."

"Sister-in-law Jiang is such a nice person, and Brother Si is also a good-tempered person, so their family will definitely be blessed."

Si Shuo and Si Jin were playing, and the next moment they were attracted by the crying outside the door.

The mother and son looked at each other, and Jiang Tuge pulled the two children to look out the door. The voice sounded young, probably that of a child.

Upon seeing this, the mother and son were shocked by what they saw. At this time, Zhang Mingzhu's hair was disheveled and her body was even more dirty.

"Pearl?" Jiang Tuge walked over slowly and called softly.

Hearing this, Zhang Mingzhu stopped crying. Then, he ran to the other side.

In the kitchen, Aunt Song and Yan Shu also noticed the movement outside the courtyard. They dropped the dishes in their hands and walked out. The two of them stopped at the courtyard wall and saw Jiang Tuge comforting a girl.

Yan Shu didn't see Zhang Mingzhu often, so he had no impression of her, "Auntie, that child is..."
