Chapter 169: To reap without sowing

Mrs . Zhang shrugged her shoulders: “We were too late to go, we didn’t dig any . ”

When Mrs . Liu and Old Lady Bai heard this, they almost spit out blood .

Mrs . Liu screamed in anger: “How can that be? I just saw Wu’s daughter-in-law came back with wild vegetables . How could you not dig any?”

Mrs . Zhang replied with a cold smile: “First sister-in-law, just because Wu’s daughter-in-law came back with wild vegetables, does it mean we should also come back with it? She is her, we are us, we don’t have the same ability as her . ”

Mrs . Liu pointed her finger to Mrs . Zhang’s nose and shouted: “You, you clearly just lazying around and didn’t dig . You’re a family of four, but your not even as good as that Wu’s daughter-in-law, who’s 40 years old . You are all simply shameless . ”

Mrs . Zhang answered back: “You said it right, we are shameless . We are a family of 9 people . But in the past, when Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi are still here, only the two of them work to find foods . However, now that they are gone, we don’t have anything to eat . ”

Old Lady Bai glared at her son Bai Erzhu and asked: “Erzhu, tell me, did you go out and dig wild vegetables today?”

Bai Erzhu didn’t dare to look at the old lady’s eyes, he looked away . Then, he propped his neck and said: “Didn’t you see us go? It’s just we went there late, we didn’t dig anything . ”

Bai Dazhu has a large appetite and consumed most of the food . He has been hungry for days . So, when he heard Bai Erzhu’s words, he got very irritated: “You still have some face to say those words? You know that you should leave early, then why did you still go so late? Now, what are we going to do?”

When Bai Erzhu heard the complained of his elder brother, his anger also fired up: “Dage, do you think you have the qualification to lecture me? Do you wake up earlier than me? Do you work more than me? Our family at least went outside, but what about you? What about your family? You’re all just waiting for dinner, what qualification do you have to lecture us?”

The front yard became lively . If a person says a word, the other one will also speak . No one was willing to admit mistake . They just want the other party to send food to their mouth .

At this moment, they finally realized the benefits of Zhao Lan’s existence . When she was still in the Bai family, they don’t need to work outside on the farm . They don’t need to worry about food . Bai Zhi will be the one who look for it . But now that the mother and daughter left, everything has changed .

Bai Zhenzhu looked at the people in front of her . She felt so sad inside her heart . It’s just no one knows if it was because of the sunburn on her face or because of the pitiful situation she was in .

In order to fill their stomach this night, Old Lady Bai led her family members outside . Under the sunlight in the afternoon, aside from Bai Dazhu, who has broken arms, a group of 8 people was all dispatched . No one was allowed to take advantage of who .

Old Lady Bai didn’t work in the field for so many years . She now forgot where their family’s fields are . On their way to digging out wild vegetables, she saw a bustling green wheat field . If the harvest time comes, their Bai Family could eat for a year with this . Just by thinking about it, she couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful saliva . However, her eyes also caught a glimpse to the three paddy fields next to it . Old Lady Bai pointed her finger in the distance and said: “Who is so shameless to keep a well-off paddy fields deserted like that? Even if their family member has died, they should at least let one person work in there . They shouldn’t left that fields in desolation . ”

Bai Erzhu looked at the deserted three paddy fields at the distance, his eyebrows frown, but his mouth stayed silent .
