There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 166 I am very smart

Li Xiuqin muttered dissatisfiedly. Although she could still eat enough when guests came, she might not be able to get a share of the food during the autumn harvest. Every bite she took would result in one less bite. Her petty habit had returned.

“Sister-in-law, if you are dissatisfied, you can tell dad. What’s the use of telling me?”

Zheng Xinyue lowered her face and said something to her. She didn't like what Li Xiuqin was saying behind her back. She was too petty.

If the job of the grain depot had been given to her eldest brother, she would probably have wanted to treat Gu Changfeng to dinner every day!

 “I dare not be dissatisfied.”

Li Xiuqin's face turned red when Zheng Xinyue said it. She whispered something and hurriedly walked into the yard without daring to talk nonsense.

Li Xiuli pursed her lips and glanced at her sister-in-law. Xinyue seemed to have become stronger?

There are two large dustpans on the ground in the courtyard, with a layer of finger-long fish spread on top of the dustpans.

 The men went into the house and were busy washing their faces and wiping sweat, while the women went straight to the kitchen.

There was a basin on the kitchen floor, containing about four or five kilograms of fish, all of which were palm-sized crucian carp. Gao Guilan probably kept them for dinner.

“Mom doesn’t seem to be back at noon?”

Li Xiuli looked at Zheng Xinyue and said that she was waiting for Zheng Xinyue to speak. They would not dare to touch these fish if her mother-in-law was not at home. They would definitely be scolded when she came back.

 “When it’s ready, leave a plate for mom.”

Zheng Xinyue replied, took the rice bowl and walked out.

“My mother-in-law is not at home, so we have another little mother-in-law.”

Li Xiuqin muttered something in a low voice. She was dissatisfied and had to speak out.

Li Xiuli glanced at her without saying a word. She found the scissors and squatted on the ground to collect the fish silently.

"It's so hot. I have to cook when I get back from the field. You wait while I get a basin of cold water to wash myself off."

Li Xiuqin wiped her sweat and complained in a low voice. Before her cousin could respond, she glanced irritably outside and saw that the men had all finished washing and entered the house. She ran to get a basin, scooped cold water into the kitchen, closed the door and scrubbed.

 Leave all the work to Li Xiuli. Anyway, her mother-in-law is not at home. Besides, she has to cook by herself in the evening. Shouldn't Li Xiuli do it at noon?

Li Xiuli gave her a dissatisfied look. The lunch time was short, and the family invited guests again. Packing the fish was a slow job. If my cousin was so lazy, could she still prepare lunch?

“Tiehui, Erya, help you. Mom packs up the fish. It’s so big that I can’t even see it.”

Li Xiuqin obviously thought of this and ordered Li Xiuli's two children. Dissatisfaction flashed in Li Xiuli's eyes.

Zheng Xinyue didn’t know that the two sisters-in-law were fighting in the house, so she closed the door as soon as she entered the warehouse.

The corn noodles in the rice vat were all gone. She went into the space and took out the corn noodles she had bought from the city and poured them into the rice vat. She scooped up a basin of corn noodles and asked the older girl to carry it into the house.

Eating only a few kilograms of fish was obviously not enough, so she closed the door and entered the space. Last night, she saw that the potatoes were all knotted. They were not too big now, so they would not be suspected if they were taken out.

It’s just that she ignored the rapid productivity of space. When she pulled out the potato, it was as big as a fist. Taking it out like this would definitely lead to suspicion.

She simply washed the mud off the potatoes in the river of space, used the peeler in space to peel the potatoes clean, and then cut them into small pieces, so that the size of the potatoes could no longer be seen.

 “It turns out that I am very smart.”

Zheng Xinyue looked at the pot of cut potatoes proudly. She praised herself when no one else praised her. The space was so comfortable that she was reluctant to leave, but she did not dare to stay longer and left the space in a hurry.

Since she didn’t bring a basin, Zheng Xinyue put the cut potatoes in a bucket and carried them out of the warehouse.

 After entering the house, Li Xiuqin saw Zheng Xinyue pouring cut potatoes out of the bucket and asked her in surprise.

 “Sister, what did you use to cut the potatoes?”
