Chapter 339: One mu per family
Mrs . Zhang on the side dropped the wild vegetables on her hand, got up and walked to her husband’s side: “Sister-in-law, my family doesn’t feel comfortable these days, I’m afraid they can’t do farm work . ” She said, then looked at Bai Erzhu with a meaningful look in the eyes .
Bai Erzhu understood what she wanted to do, he grasped his chest and said: “I’ve been forcing myself to walk today, I don’t feel so comfortable . I feel so stuffy in my chest . I’m afraid I can’t work tomorrow . ”
Old Lady Bai became so anxious when she heard this: “This can’t be done . We must catch up to work, we can’t delay any further . If you delay the work, it will be troublesome once it rains . ”
Bai Erzhu rubbed his chest and said: “But, I feel uncomfortable . Even if I go to the field, I can’t do anything . ”

Mrs . Liu also became anxious: “Second brother-in-law, I just saw you were okay when you’re coming inside the yard . How can you suddenly say that you have chest pain now that you have work to do in the fields?”
Mrs . Zhang said: “Why can’t he? When we are having lunch, I saw Dabao also in good condition . When he finished eating a bowl, he wanted his second bowl . Fugui hasn’t eaten enough, but he wanted to take his meal . I heard his loud voice while scolding Fugui . He doesn’t look like a sick person . A sick person won’t have that ability, right? Well, he can do this, so why other’s can’t?”
Mrs . Liu’s eyebrows frowned as she pointed her finger to Mrs . Zhang’s nose: “Zhang Shumei, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that my family is faking sickness?”
Mrs . Zhang sneered and pushed away Mrs . Liu’s finger at her, then said: “I didn’t say that, I’m just telling you that if your son can get sick when he wanted to be sick . My husband and son can do it too . Don’t think all people are fools and don’t use their brains . ”

Old Lady Bai’s face drastically changed . Her heart wanted to save her first son’s family . She easily gets distressed for her two grandsons in the first branch . Naturally, she knows that Bai Dabao likes pretending to be sick . But now, the second branch was not satisfied with it, she has no way to defend them .
“Then tell me, what do you want to do with those 2 acres of fields? Nothing? If you don’t want to work, you won’t have any foods during the winter . ”
Mrs . Zhang replied: “It’s not that we don’t want to work, we just want a fair distribution of work . The first branch has four people, the second branch also has four people . We’re just the same, no one should take advantage of one another . One mu per family . ”
Mrs . Liu’s busily argued: “How can that be? Dazhu’s legs are still not good . He can’t go to the fields to work . How can it be the same?”
Mrs . Zhang’s cold eyes swept to Mrs . Liu, the sarcasm in her tone cannot be hidden: “I don’t care, don’t you have two sons? What are they tall men that want to be treated like young ladies in the family?”

Mrs . Liu pointed her finger to Mrs . Zhang and angrily shouted: “What nonsense are you saying? Your son is the young lady . My Dabao has always been a hard-working man . It’s just he has a fever . My Xiaofeng wants to study, so how can he work in the fields? In the future, he will be a big official . If you don’t clean your mouth, you’ll be jailed in the future . ”
Mrs . Zhang laughed and said: “Oh, I’m so scared . I don’t know what rank your family’s Xiofeng get in this exam? If he wants to become a big official, he should be in the first place . ”
Mrs . Liu was stupefied, she doesn’t know what rank Bai Xiaofeng get in the exam . He didn’t say anything . She also didn’t ask about it . What could be his rank?
Mrs . Liu propped her chin and yelled: “With my Xiaofeng’s talent, its only natural for him to be in the first place . Is that enough?”
Mrs . Zhang originally doesn’t want to hit her pride, but now it seems to be the right timing . She wonders if she could swallow it .
“Indeed he is in the first place, but that is if you count reverse . ”
Mrs . Liu was confused: “What are you saying? What count reverse?”
*Mu – a unit of area equal to one-fifteenth of a hectare .
