The old lady opened her eyes and looked at Mrs. Liu, then coldly said: Eat early, havent you heard about that saying? When Bai Erzhu was cooking, the smell came to her room. Even she smelled it, so why cant they? Who told them to get up so late? Who is to blame now that they failed to get porridge?

Mrs. Liu anxiously said: Niang, what is the use of saying this now? Please help us think of a way. I havent eaten this day, Ive been waiting for this meal.

Old Lady Bai hadnt spoken yet when Bai Dabao and Bai Xiaofeng also came together. Bai Xiaofeng looked at Mrs. Liu with dissatisfaction and shouted: Niang, what time is it? Its already dark, why you havent called me to have dinner?

Bai Dabao also said: Yes, Ive been hungry the whole day, but you havent called me yet to have dinner. Its already late, havent you cook yet?

If he didnt feel so comfortable in the bed, he would have come out a long time ago to eat. Why would he wait until now?

A bit earlier, Bai Dabao heard several noises, so he went out. He saw Bai Fugui carrying two bowls out of Bai Erzhus room. After putting the bowls in the kitchen, he went back to his room.

Bai Dabao then said to Mrs. Liu: Niang, why it seems like Fugui has already eaten?

Mrs. Liu said with a black face: Your second uncle didnt cook our meal.

Bai Dabao couldnt understand Why? Didnt the second uncle cook our meals these days? Why he didnt cook today?

Mrs. Liu shook her head: I dont know, ask him yourself!

Bai Xiaofeng said: It must be because niang quarreled with the second aunt again. Niang, you really are! Now that our family depends on second uncle, why do you quarrel with second aunt? Why cant you bear with it?

Mrs. Lius eyes became sharp: I didnt. I didnt quarrel with her today. I didnt even go outside the room. I havent seen her, she only said a few words outside our door. So how did I offend her?

Old Lad Bai asked: What did she say?

Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered the embroidery job. Then, she hurriedly went out to look for it. Sure enough, the embroidery was gone.

Mrs. Liu rushed again into Mrs. Zhangs room and stretched out her hand as soon as she entered the door: What about the embroidery job? Didnt you give it to me so that I could earn some money?

Mrs. Zhang raised her head and stopped the work in her hands: I gave you the embroidery job this morning, I told you I needed it early the next morning. Have you embroidered it? Did you come out of the bed to start working on it? If I didnt come out and saw it still outside your room, do you think Ill be able to give it back tomorrow morning?

Mrs. Liu knitted her eyebrows and said with an angry face: I dont care. You said you will let me embroider it to earn money. But now that you made it yourself, you have to give me the money.

Mrs. Zhangs coldly sneered Your face is really thick. Who do you think you are? Is, I, Zhang Shumei your maidservant? You want me to give you the money I work so hard? You must still be dreaming? You should go back and sleep again.

Mrs. Liu was so angry after hearing her words. In her opinion, she was the first daughter-in-law. Zhang Shumei was no better than her. In this family, she naturally had to listen to her in everything. So she hated Zhang Shumei, not only because she doesnt listen to her, but also because she opposed her in everything. If she didnt instigate Bai Erzhu to separate with them, will she be living a life like this now?

The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to fight with her. Its just Bai Xiaofeng appear out of nowhere, grabbed his mothers arm, and gave him a wink.

Mrs. Liu didnt want her son to get involved in this, so she shouted: What are you doing? Go out quickly.
