Yang Peili’s face turned extremely ugly.
He had ignored the comments before, but now he couldn’t pretend he hadn’t heard them.
He stood up and walked over, “Disaster comes from the mouth.
Keep blabbering, and sooner or later you’ll bring trouble upon us.”
“I…”
“Enough, get on with cooking,” Yang Peili let out a breath, “We still have to work the fields later…”
Yang Anshi could no longer continue cursing, and knowing that Yang Dani was there, Xun Hui wouldn’t be coming out today either.
She had no choice but to go and kick the doors of the second and fourth rooms.
“Mother, I was the one who cooked yesterday,” Feng Caie protested, “You can’t possibly make me do it again today, can you?”
“So you ate and relieved yourself yesterday, and today you’re not going to eat or relieve yourself?” Yang Anshi glared at her, “If you don’t eat or relieve yourself today, then you don’t have to cook.”
“Mother, if one doesn’t eat or relieve themselves, are they still human?
I’m going right now, alright?” Feng Caie pouted and then dragged her feet towards the kitchen.
“Mother, can’t you let someone have a good sleep?” Yang Baifu couldn’t help but grumble, for he had only just managed to get a little sleep, and as to what he had been up to, only he knew.
“Where’s Dongshi?
Hurry up and start cooking.
A hen that doesn’t lay eggs wants to play the lady?” Yang Anshi’s hostility immediately turned towards Yang Dongshi, “Get out here now.”
“I’m coming.” Yang Dongshi quickly responded, walking out with her head lowered.
Due to Yang Baifu’s departure, she had barely slept last night, so naturally, her dark circles were very noticeable.
“Little Four, what were you up to last night?” Feng Caie was the sort to enjoy chaos, and as soon as Yang Dongshi entered the kitchen, her voice, second only to Yang Anshi’s in volume, rang out, “Look how dark those circles are…”
“It was too hot, I didn’t sleep well last night,” said Yang Dongshi, touching her face, appearing somewhat ashamed.
But this didn’t look innocent in the eyes of Yang Anshi, who, still fuming from being talked back to by Yang Ruxin, burst out, “A barren hen, still shameless enough to stay up all night tossing and turning in bed, you’ve practically ruined my good son…”
Yang Dongshi immediately felt even more ashamed, wishing she could bury her head in a seam in the ground.
Yet Feng Caie looked utterly pleased with herself.
In her mind, as long as the other daughters-in-law were scolded and fell out of favor, that was good enough, as it highlighted her own distinction.
Yang Ruxin naturally couldn’t just do nothing, but she wouldn’t be doing the dirty, tiring chores anymore.
At that moment, she was sweeping the yard with Erni.
After hearing Yang Anshi’s words, she couldn’t help but shake her head.
That old woman was truly good at tormenting her daughters-in-law.
The women who married into the Yang Family were all unlucky.
Yet upon further reflection, it seemed that many households in ancient times behaved similarly.
The saying “a daughter-in-law will eventually become the mother-in-law” meant that when you were a daughter-in-law, you were oppressed by your mother-in-law.
Once you finally became a mother-in-law, you would take out all the oppression you suffered on your daughter-in-law…
It was a complete and vicious cycle.
Having swept the yard, the sisters went to the back and mixed the pig feed before pouring it into the trough.
Watching the two big pigs gobble it up voraciously, Erni’s face showed longing, “When these pigs were first brought back, they were so small, and now they’ve grown so big.
Come the end of the year, they can be sold…”
The Yang Family actually had quite decent living conditions, with over twenty acres of land.
Every year, the family would raise two pigs and a dozen chickens.
By the end of the year, selling the two pigs would bring in a substantial amount of money.
However, these past years, it was the children from the eldest household who had been feeding these chickens and pigs.
But when it came time to slaughter the pigs, only the eldest household got the smallest share of the meat.
