"Yeah, I'm making some corn tortillas and stir-frying some shredded cabbage."

When Li heard that it was really about rice porridge, she readily agreed and quickly lit a fire to cook.

Zhulan felt a pang in her heart. Her family had ten acres of paddy fields. The tax on paddy fields was less than that on dry fields. In addition, rice in the north was more expensive than that in the south. Therefore, the family only had a small amount of rice left each year, and the rest was exchanged for money.

Even though her family was not poor, she was not extravagant. Although she was not very smart, she had a good mother-in-law who educated her and had experienced war, so she knew the essence of hiding one's shortcomings and not showing off one's wealth.

Soon, the second daughter-in-law, Zhao, also got up and walked into the kitchen with her head down. Zhulan was too lazy to watch anymore. The kitchen was filled with the sound of Li ordering Zhao around.

Zhulan looked at the jar, but was thinking about the fact that Zhao was six months pregnant. She calculated that the baby would be born in a few months. She thought it was winter now, and it would be difficult to raise a child in winter, especially in ancient times when the conditions were so poor. Yes, she also had to find a midwife in advance. Now that the autumn harvest was approaching, there were so many household chores to deal with.

Breakfast was ready quickly and everyone got up one after another. Zhou Shuren also got up and washed up.

Zhulan took a glance and then looked away. She was worried that Zhou Shuren was not pretending to be decent, but now she realized that her worries were in vain. Her original husband was originally arrogant and taciturn in order to subdue his sons with his majesty, so it was best for him to pretend.

In the morning, I had pancakes with white porridge and the shredded cabbage had distinct color. It was simple but very appetizing, especially when the shredded cabbage was fried with lard and smelled delicious.

Zhou Shuren was in good shape and picked up the bowl first, "Eat."

The head of the family took the initiative. Zhulan also had the porridge distributed. She was the second one to pick up her chopsticks and said, "Let's eat."

These days people live just to fill their stomachs. People rarely talk when they have food to eat. The whole house is filled with the sound of people drinking porridge. No one is stupid enough to ask why there is white porridge in the morning. They just want to drink one more bowl.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren looked at each other. They didn't talk to each other, but they seemed to have a good understanding. Neither of them wanted to make drastic changes right away. Changes could only come slowly. They didn't forget the existence of San Ya Wang Ru.

After dinner, Zhou Shuren talked to his sons, discussed matters in the fields, and told his two younger sons to study hard. After his sons had left and the show was over, he took his medicine and went back to his room to lie down.

Zhulan also drank the tonic and was thinking about where to hide the money when Li came over and said, "Mom, my little sister hid half a corn cake and went to Wang's house again. Mom, I'm not saying that the Wang family is full of ungrateful people. It's better for my little sister to stay away from them."

Zhulan recalled that Li had never interacted with the Wang family and had never looked down upon them. However, the Wang family was indeed not good. Unlike her own family, which was full of rumors, the Wang family really had problems with their character. "Yeah."

Li was very happy. In the past, her mother always found her words annoying, but today she was kind enough to listen to her and not scold her. She just went along with it and asked, "Mother, is it time to cook the big bones for lunch?"

She had been thinking about it all night, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and she was always worried and upset!

Zhulan glanced at Li. She couldn't be too nice to this person, otherwise she would get ahead of her over time. She didn't want to change her position in the hearts of her two daughters-in-law. She said in the same tone as her original body, "Eat, eat, all you do is eat all day, go back and look after the children."

Li's face was not red nor was she angry. Instead, she felt satisfied. This was the familiar mother-in-law. She even smiled and said, "Okay, mother."

This sound is eight plus sweetness.

Zhulan, “… … ..”

Before Zhulan could find a good place to hide the money, her daughter Xuehan came running back in a hurry. She was startled when she saw Zhulan, "Mom."

Zhulan waved her hand, "What's the matter that brought you back so quickly?"

Xue Han pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhulan was recalling the plot, her eyes flashed, this was the rhythm of entering the plot, but she had a toothache!
