Chapter 511 She still has to catch a dragon for her!
Besides, if she isn't allowed to put it in her pocket, where could she put it? Should she stuff it into her clothes like him?
She couldn't stand that!
"Okay, forget it, just steal some food."
Even though Yang Xin was unwilling to work for the old cripple, there was nothing he could do. It would be really embarrassing for the couple if they were caught stealing.
The two men temporarily reached an agreement not to touch the wheat and it would be safer to steal vegetables.
"Let's get a bigger bag tonight and dry the leftovers."
She had eaten dried vegetables before. At that time, she still had money, so Lin Fang exchanged a handful of dried beans from the village and stewed meat for her. The dried beans stewed over a low heat were as fragrant as the meat.
"Row!"
The old cripple also felt that what Yang Xin said was very right. After the wheat harvest was over, the villagers would go to pick the wheat and use it as dried vegetables. By then, there would be no share for them, so they had to take advantage of these few days to get more.
The thief couple felt motivated just thinking about drying a whole yard of vegetables, and they worked faster than before.
At noon, Zhou Xi came very actively with the meal she had cooked. She called Zhang Jiang from a long distance away, saying that she couldn't carry it anymore and asked him to come over to help.
"Auntie~, hey! Bring food to my mother-in-law~"
"Oh, yes, auntie, you are not that delicate. You do all the housework. Look, you just finished cooking~"
Zhang Jiang carried the basket and shouted to Zhou Xi all the way over. Didn’t her mother-in-law say that she was too lazy at home? She had to cook a meal for these people to see!
Zhang Jiang felt proud to see Zhou Xi being so sensible. His wife was so obedient and would change as soon as he was told!
"Mom, it's time to eat. Come and see the delicious food Xixi made for you."
Zhou Xi was trying hard to perform well today. He fried some peppers and eggplant shreds and stewed some green beans. While stewing the green beans, he also put a circle of corn tortillas around the edge of the pot. It was so fragrant.
Zhou Xi wanted to show off to everyone, she didn't believe that anyone else around here could do better than her!
Those who stayed at home were either children or very old, they just kept it simple, how could they compare with her~
The Zhang family looked at the dishes and didn’t say anything bad this time, but they didn’t say anything good either. If they could have made it today, why didn’t they make it yesterday!
It seems that this guy still needs to be criticized harshly, otherwise how could he change so much? The Zhang family has already decided how to treat Zhou Xi in the future.
The family was sitting on the ground preparing to eat. Zhou Xi poked Zhang Jiang and asked him to look back.
"Hey, come here, is that Ding Shengnan?"
Zhang Jiang shielded the sunlight with his hands, squinted his eyes, and nodded. It was definitely Ding Shengnan!
Zhou Xi stood up and stretched himself for a while, then smiled kindly when he saw someone approaching him.
"Hey~, you are Shengnan, right? Come, come and sit down and take a rest~"
Ding Shengnan, who was being held back by someone, didn't know what the man was up to, but she didn't refuse. The man's belly was so big that he was holding her tightly, so nothing would happen here.
"Come on, come on, sit for a while, it's okay, I came early and won't be late for dinner."
Ding Shengnan was a little confused by Zhou Xi's enthusiasm. Yesterday, it was the Zhang family who pulled her along, and today it was her daughter-in-law's turn. How much she must be cherished~
Zhou Xi glanced into the basket that Ding Shengnan was carrying. One was a basket of shredded cucumber and pickles, and the other was a basket of stewed beans. They were okay, but not as good as what she made.
Isn't this a win?
"I heard my mother-in-law praising you yesterday, and I had to take a good look when I saw you today. My mother-in-law told me to learn more from you."
Haha, the smile on Ding Shengnan’s face didn’t change at all, no wonder she was stopped, it turned out they were trying to make a comparison.
"I am two years older than you, so I won't be so polite to call you sister. Sister, you have to teach me how to make my mother-in-law happy in the future. I also want to make my mother-in-law happy~"
Ding Shengnan continued to smile. Except for the fact that he was two years older than her, the rest was all lies. If she took it seriously, she would hate him to death.
"Sister, let Aunt Shuhua eat this for lunch: pickled vegetables and stewed beans. Sister, why are you so reluctant to add oil to these beans? They look so dry and oilless."
Zhou Xi raised her eyebrows and stared at the Zhang family's reaction. You see, you know who needs to learn from whom. No matter who she, Zhou Xi, compares with, she is not inferior at all!
This sudden shock made Ding Shengnan want to laugh. This person must be wrong. She is not her opponent. Her mother-in-law just needs someone for comparison. It just happened to be her. It is useless to target her.
"My mother-in-law specifically requested this bean. She said it's too hot to eat oily food. It's too greasy~"
Huh~
Zhou Xi curled her lips. Who would believe that? Cooking with a lot of oil means one lives a good life. She has never seen anyone in the village complain about having too much oil!
"I'm leaving now. My mother-in-law is waiting for me. We can talk again when we have time."
Hey, wait, she still has some questions to ask. I finally got the chance.
"Wait a minute, you are too impatient. Are you afraid of her? Will she beat you if you go too late?"
Ding Shengnan looked at Zhou Xi with an indescribable look. What was she saying? How could she tell that she was afraid of Wang Shuhua?
"But I can understand that. You said you asked someone to raise your child, right? It's normal to suffer a little!"
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Xi had an expression that said, "Don't try to be brave, I know everything." This is something that anyone with a brain can guess.
Asking someone to raise a child whose father is unknown means that Xie Xiaoman is a fake man and cannot give birth to a child, otherwise who would want a daughter-in-law like this.
That is to say, her mother-in-law has eye problems, but she still praises her!!
How is Ding Shengnan better than her? She is pregnant with the Zhang family's own child!
"Then you are wrong. My mother-in-law treats me very well. She gives me a boiled egg every morning and malted milk to drink at night. She also puts peach cakes in my room in case I get hungry. Also, my mother-in-law said she would buy me a few chicks and feed them to me during the confinement period~"
Ding Shengnan had no intention of provoking conflict, but Zhou Xi was trying to stir up trouble in her words, so she just said something that could make her angry.
Wang Shuhua was a gossipy person. She would always complain about every old woman and young wife in the village. Ding Shengnan heard a lot of Zhou Xi complaining about her mother-in-law outside.
It can be said that none of these words are nonsense, and all the points hit Zhou Xi's pain points accurately...
There are also boiled eggs and malted milk!!
Her mother-in-law even raised chickens for her! !
It's been more than eight months since she started receiving this treatment, and she still thinks she's lucky!
Old Zhang didn't even raise her head when she received Zhou Xi's accusing gaze. She didn't think Zhou Xi was stupid before, but now she realized it.
She believes whatever people say. Ding Shengnan told her that her mother-in-law gave her dragon meat to eat, and Zhou Xi asked her to go to heaven and catch a dragon for her!!!
