"Milk, is there really no pebble in the rice you bought?" Liu Qiuxiang spat out a mouthful of rice that had gravel inside.

At this moment, Liu Qi's mind was entirely focused on what the Liu Sun was saying, so she naturally did not notice it. Tonight, Su Yun was the one who ate the white rice, otherwise, she would definitely beat up this little prodigal woman, Liu Dao Xiang.

"Milk, second uncle's mother still resents the color of the family's grains as being bad, but father said that last year, there was a lot of water in the autumn rain, so the seeds were very damp to recover. Even if they dried later on, the smell was not as good as the smell of dried grains on a sunny day, however, there was nothing second uncle could do about it. Instead, we have to get food from our homes. It's fine if we have to get food there, but we have to exchange it for money to buy good food. "

She could not be blamed for being selfish. She had not been living in this house for long, and to be able to treat her father like this, she felt that she had done pretty well. Furthermore, she and Liu Qiuxiang were still growing.

This dinner was passed amidst Liu Qi's low curses. Liu Dafu seemed to be accustomed to this scene and did not have much of an expression on his face, as he continued to act according to his own will.

When they returned to their own room, Liu Sanguan couldn't help but ask the two sisters, "How come I don't know what your second uncle's mother said?"

Would hearing Liu Dao Xiang and her sister say that made his heart feel at ease? He and his father were the main labourers in the family. These 30 mu of fertile land and 10 mu of dry land were all served by them. Only when there were too many of them would they hire people to help with the harvesting.

Just as Liu Qiuxiang was about to say that they were lying, Liu Dao Xiang stabbed her in the back lightly, causing her words to slide back down her throat.

Liu Dao Xiang curled her lips and replied: "Father, it's not like Second Aunt's brain is broken, she's still hoping that Father will help them grow more food, how could she say that in front of you?"

If he didn't say it in front of everyone? It was just muttering behind his back!

"Father, can we really not split up? Look, in the forty mu of land at home, just you and your grandpa are there, that's fine, but you've been tired all year, and you don't even have a single copperplate. Father, you don't know, I saw Second Uncle taking milk and eggs to change Big Sister Zhu'er's flowers and putting on some white sugar, and Big Sister Zhu'er even used it to covet me, saying that I'm a ghost from a poor family, and would never be able to eat that sweet and sticky white sugar. "

Liu Sanguan looked at her second daughter, who was acting coquettishly in front of him right now because she had eaten egg and mushroom soup during the night, and saw that she was now taller, her face not as yellow as before. Liu Sanguan was very frustrated; as a father, he had never put anything decent onto his daughters before, not even a red hair rope.

He thought about it again. Previously, he thought that silver was not important. In any case, he was always at home, so it was only right for him to work for his family.

But now, he didn't want to think about it anymore. Why should Eldest Brother earn so much money for his own house? When he came here, he would have to pay for his fourth brother's studies, and even leave some dowry for his own little sister. Boss and Second Bro don't even need to care? Not only did he not care, but he also wanted to fish for things from his house.

In the past, Liu Sangui thought of everyone as blood brothers, so there was no need to calculate it so clearly. Later on, Liu Qi would nag him, saying that it wasn't easy for Eldest Brother and Second Brother to be outside, and that they had to spend money on everything they went out to.

He had been to the Lianshan Town as far as he could in his life. Under the guidance of Liu Qi, the people outside were even more ferocious than the bugs in the mountains, and there wasn't even a drop of blood when it came to eating people.

But from time to time, Liu Dao Xiang would compare his second uncle's family's food and clothing with her own family. She was just like this, merciless, forcing Liu Sanguan to have no choice but to face the current situation.

She believed that when people changed their mindset, they would think of caring for their family and wanted to love them, so they wouldn't listen to Liu Qi's words anymore. The ultimate purpose of her plan was still to split the family.

That night, for the first time in his life, Liu Sanguan lost sleep. He lay on his bed, wanting to roll over and over, but was afraid of disturbing the mother and daughter pair beside him, so he could only forcibly endure the pain until daybreak.

Liu Dao Xiang did not know that her inexpensive father had been fighting for an entire night. At home, only Zhang Gui Hua and Liu Chunxiang were sleeping, so Liu San Gui should have gone to the fields, while Liu Qiuxiang went to the kitchen to cook pig food.

She disappeared into the space in a flash, and upon seeing the chicken getting bigger and bigger every day, Liu Dao Xiang's heart was filled with hope.

After breakfast, Liu Dao Xiang who had already cleaned up the chicken dung and filled up her bowl with water and chicken food swaggered out the door.

Liu Qi brought Liu Xiaolan to "harass" the little gongzi. They were eager to see how far Liu Dao Xiang and her sister would die, so long as it did not appear in front of them, they would not care where they went.

Liu Dao Xiang thought about how this chicken would earn money in the future. What excuse could she use to give it to her parents?

"Dao Xiang, Dao Xiang, you heartless girl, why haven't you played with me for so long?"

A clear and tender voice interrupted her deep thoughts, causing Liu Dao Xiang to raise her head, she saw a little girl who was missing her front teeth, with her hair combed back by a red string, smiling at him heartlessly.

Liu Dao Xiang smiled and greeted her: Cui Hua, didn't I come to play with you.

If one were to say how she was able to recognize him at a glance, it was because Li Cuihua looked exactly the same as Li San-mei.

Li Cuihua was two months older than Liu Dao Xiang. The two were of the same age and had played together often in the past.

She was wearing a dress made of coarse cloth, which had been washed very cleanly. It seemed that the family was quite well-off.

"Dao Xiang, I heard that you were ruthlessly thrown by the Your Milk last time? I also wanted my mother to take me to see you, but when we arrived at the main entrance, Your Milk refused to let me go in with his no matter what. He even took away some of the eggs we brought you to eat. "

Liu Dao Xiang felt that Li Cuihua's entire body was filled with vitality, which was something that Liu Qiuxiang did not have.

"Thank you. If you have any other good things next time, don't send them to my house. How can you spit out the things that landed in my milk hands?"

Li Cuihua nodded her head, and said without thinking, "I just think that Your Milk is really bad, you should keep her at a distance, it's really pitiful, right? Last time my mother told me, she was going to the oxcart in town to meet you, and even asked you to come here to play. Why did you take so long to come here?

Liu Dao Xiang looked at the chattering Li Cuihua, and suddenly felt that today was not very cold, causing her heart to feel extremely warm.

"Jadeflower, I've been very busy lately. I heard that the wood in the town is very expensive, so I went to gather some firewood. Then I left it in an empty house in the village and blew it dry.

Oh, Dao Xiang, you have always had a good brain, just that temper of yours is too hot, my mother said that a woman must be more obedient, in the future she can say that she is a good husband, no, no, Dao Xiang, your temper must be changed.

In the past, when Liu Dao Xiang was not full, she had quietly stayed back to eat. In the past, Liu Dao Xiang had torn off her clothes during a fight with a boy in the village, so they were afraid of going back home to get scolded. It was Li Cuihua who had asked her mother to sew it up for them.

What made Li Cuihua the saddest was that she would always follow behind Liu Dao Xiang and persuade him to be more obedient and not be as rude as a boy. However, Liu Dao Xiang always agreed to it and turned around completely forgot about it.

Liu Dao Xiang rubbed her nose, facing Li Cuihua who was like a steward, she really wanted to be her friend.

"I know, but I'll have to see what kind of person it is. Someone like me milk can't just follow her instructions, otherwise, she'll squeeze out all my bones."

"That's true too." Thus, the simple and foolish Li Cuihua began to have a new trouble.

When the two of them entered the Li Family residence, Li San-mei came out of the kitchen and quickly walked in front of them. He bent down and hugged them tightly, then headed straight for the kitchen.

"Come, come, come. Quickly come and eat my new Sophora Flower Cake. I also said to ask Cui Hua to find you, but who would have thought that you would deliver yourself to my doorstep."

The moment Liu Dao Xiang's feet touched the ground, she shook her dizzy little head and replied cleanly, "Third Aunt, didn't we smell the fragrance of the Sophora Flower Cake?

"Aiya, Dao Xiang is getting more and more painful." To a Li San-mei who loved to do all this, Liu Dao Xiang's words were more useful than any praise.

He immediately grabbed three pairs of chopsticks from the cupboard and handed them over to the two of them. He couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in his mouth. He mumbled, "Eat it, and it's really delicious."

As expected, all foodies loved to pile up.

The large plate of Sophora Flower Cake had been swept clean by the three of them. It was like a tornado had just rolled over and the plate was as clean as it could be.

"Oh right, Dao Xiang, why is Your Milk so willing to let you go out?"

"She can't control me. If I want to think of something to play with, then I have to think of a hundred and eighty methods." Liu Dao Xiang was furious when she mentioned Liu Qi's family.

"Sigh, your mother is about to give birth, right? Right, bring a few eggs back later so your mother can properly mend her body. Your milk is probably …" It was obvious that the Li San-mei knew Liu Qi's family very well.
