Old Lady Bai was hesitant, her second son had a lot of complaints to her since the enlistment in the army and separation . She’s afraid to borrow money from him .
“Niang, don’t be like this . The most important thing right now is Xiaofeng’s study . You can’t delay it . ”
Old Lady Bai nodded her head: “Well, I will use this old face and talk to Erzhu . ” She was now regretting it . If they didn’t separate, her second son’s money will belong to her . Why would she even need to borrow money?
To be able to borrow money, Old Lady Bai and Mrs . Liu save a few pieces of wild vegetables and laid them on the table in the hall, then wait for Bai Erzhu’s return .

In the evening, Bai Erzhu’s family finally came back . When they entered the yard, they saw the old lady and Mrs . Liu standing in the yard and smiled at them .
“You’re back? We know you are hungry, so we deliberately save some food for you to eat . ” Mrs . Liu came forward with a smile and stretched out her hand to pick up the farm tools in Mrs . Zhang’s hands .
Mrs . Zhang avoided her hands, and smiled that doesn’t look like a smile: “It’s covered with mud . I don’t want to dirty sister-in-law’s clothes . ”
Mrs . Liu immediately retracted her hands . She doesn’t really want to help her carry those things .
Bai Erzhu said to Mrs . Liu: “Thank you for your kindness, but our family has eaten already . ”

Bai Erzhu put down the farm tools in his hands without looking at Mrs . Liu and Granny Bai, and then he went straight into the house to go to the backyard .
Passing by the dining table in the hall, he took a glanced at the ‘deliberately save food’ . There were only a few pieces of wild vegetables . They have the guts to say that they saved food for their family . Who can eat this?
Seeing Mrs . Zhang also putting down her things, Mrs . Liu asked: “Sister-in-law, looking at your dirty clothes . Did you also work in the fields?”
Mrs . Zhang replied: “We work in the fields . What will we eat if we won’t work? Should we just sit at home and wait to die from starvation?”
Mrs . Zhang was actually referring to Mrs . Liu and Old Lady Bai . Old Lady Bai understood her meaning, but Mrs . Liu didn’t .

“What are you saying, you are a woman . If you don’t stay at home, where will you go? You should let the man do the job in the field . Look at you, your clothes are dirty, take them off quickly . I will help you wash them . ”
He who pays attention to everything is a thief .
Mrs . Zhang said with a smile: “Sister-in-law must be joking . When Zhao Lan was here, she works all day long in the fields, but I didn’t hear you say these things . ”
Seeing Liu’s embarrassment, Mrs . Zhang added: “There are many women in the village working in the fields . I am not a young lady from a wealthy family . I should help and do some work within my ability, especially, if it’s for the sake of our family, isn’t it right, sister-in-law?”
Mrs . Liu’s embarrassment grew bigger and bigger . Mrs . Zhang was clearly talking about her, implying that she only sit at home and eat .
If it was like before, she already pulled her sleeves and fight with this younger sister-in-law . How could she let this younger sister-in-law scold her? It’s disgraceful .
However, today, was different . She has something to ask her, so no matter how angry she was, she could only swallow it .
“What are you saying? Alright, let’s not talk about it . Sister-in-law, I heard you’ve been working for Bai Zhi?”
Mrs . Zhang let Bai Zhenzhu and Bai Fugui enter the house . She can deal with Mrs . Liu all by herself . With Mrs . Liu’s words and actions, she could guess her intentions .
“Sister-in-law is very well-informed . You also know about it . ” Mrs . Zhang looked for a chair and sat down, then she massaged her sore calf .
