"Father."

When Ning Haitao saw his father-in-law, he hurriedly called out to Shufang.

"Hey, Shufang is back. Come in and have a seat."

Zhao Yumei walked out behind the man. There was a fake smile on her face, and there was no warmth in her voice. There was also a distinct alienation in her eyes.

Liu Shufang glanced at her indifferently, but didn't call her mother. She hadn't called her mother ever since this woman entered the room.

At that time, her father had beaten her and forced her, but the stubborn Liu Shufang had just ignored him.

The stepmother had a kind expression in front of her father. When her father wasn't home, she would pinch his tender flesh to harm him.

"Dad, these are the tobacco and alcohol that Haitao bought for you, they are what you like."

He handed his husband the gift of returning home to his father, and noticed from the corner of his eyes that the fake smile on his stepmother Zhao Yumei's face had frozen.

"Yo, how can you just go back and buy two gifts? Isn't that a bit too shabby?"

Zhao Yumei looked at the two gifts and noticed that none of them were for her. She felt displeased so she spoke without hesitation, not leaving any face for the new young master.

Ning Haitao's face immediately turned red. He turned around and looked at his wife with an awkward expression.

He had clearly bought four items, but his wife had sent him away midway. Now that he was slapped in the face, he was in a very bad mood.

"No matter what, I still have cigarettes and wine for my gift. I spent five to six yuan!" It's still better than the present you've prepared for my big brother and sister-in-law. A dozen eggs or so, I'll count them! An egg is worth five cents, ten eggs are worth fifty cents, and this doesn't even cost one yuan. Dad, what do you think of my mother-in-law? Too stingy! "

Liu Shufang's expression changed slightly. She maintained her sweet smile as she spoke each word with a piercing tone, piercing an arrow into Zhao Yumei's heart.

"What? "Yumei, when Hanlan comes back to the door, you're going to give her ten eggs?"

When Liu Guodong heard Zhao Yumei's words, he was a bit unhappy and thought that his daughter and son-in-law did not think highly of him.

However, after hearing his daughter's words, he felt a bit embarrassed. The gift that he had prepared to return was too shabby. He would be talked about behind his back.

Especially since Zhao Yumei was his stepmother, what would outsiders say?

"This?" Not ten, but twelve. "

Zhao Yumei glared angrily at Liu Shufang as she explained to the man timidly. This damned girl, she had always been opposing her when they were at home. Now that she was married off, she had even come back to stab her.

"Twelve? To think that you have the cheek to say it out loud, you are simply slapping my old face, my Liu Family is not even this poor, I am not even willing to return the favor, what about the one hundred dollars I gave you? "

Hearing her quibble, Liu Guodong flew into a rage. Young Master was still standing here, how could she have the face to say such words? How much is the difference between twelve and ten?

What would his parents think of him? Wasn't it his daughter who wanted to listen to her mother-in-law's gossip? He had already felt wronged after changing the marriage engagement with Shufang. He knew that his daughter had someone in her heart, but it was impossible for Zhao Yumei to blow the wind by her pillow.

Even though Zhang Qiang was a scholar, Shufang did not have much of a culture and would be abandoned in the future. It would be better to find a real rural person to lead a peaceful life.

He also agreed out of the blue. The day his daughter got married, she cried and fainted. She was lifted onto a bridal sedan. Thinking about it, his heart felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the new Young Master was not bad. He was tall and strong, so he felt less guilty.

She didn't expect that her daughter-in-law would do something so excessive. This was clearly putting her daughter in a difficult situation, making her days at her in-laws' home very difficult.

"Well, doesn't the family have no spare money?"

Zhao Yumei lowered her head and replied softly. She was still afraid of Liu Guodong. It was good when she wasn't angry, but it was also scary when she was angry.

Liu Shufang was very happy to see Zhao Yumei being scolded. This was a lesson she had taught her. Let's see how she would bully her big brother and sister-in-law in the future.

Seeing that her father's anger wasn't that bad, Liu Shufang decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Dad, there's an old saying. Young Master has come to our house and the chickens have been taken advantage of. I think the chickens in our house are all leisurely eating in the yard!"

After she finished speaking, Zhao Yumei raised her head and glared at her.

Liu Shufang raised her eyebrows and smiled at her with an innocent expression.

"Go and kill the chickens. Young Master won't even come for food, you lazy woman."

When Liu Guodong heard his daughter's words and saw how cold the stove was, he couldn't even suppress the anger in his heart and started scolding in front of his daughter's young master.

"Oh, aren't they here yet?"

Zhao Yumei's face alternated between green and white. When she heard her husband tell her to kill a chicken, her heart ached and she rolled her eyes at Liu Shufang. She didn't plan to let them eat.

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

Seeing his wife's stubborn look, Liu Guodong roared furiously as he glared at Zhao Yumei.

"Dad, don't be angry. You can't get angry over such a small matter. Let me talk to you inside."

Liu Shufang had won her first battle. She was in a great mood as she happily held her father's arm and supported him into the east room.

Sensing the hostile gaze behind her, she turned around and shot Zhao Yumei a provocative look.

"Damn girl."

Zhao Yumei swore through gritted teeth as she walked unwillingly into the yard. Looking at the chicks jumping around happily, she couldn't bear to kill any of them.

At this time, the little chicken was laying its eggs! She made chicken egg soup for her son, Shusheng, everyday and took good care of his health, saving him the trouble of getting sick.

Even if it was a rooster, she couldn't bear to part with it. Shusheng went to the county today and wouldn't be able to come back until nightfall. As a mother, she felt sorry for him.

But her husband was angry, she did not dare disobey, he was usually a good temper, tenacious ten donkeys can not pull back.

While she was unwillingly slaughtering the chickens, Liu Shufang coaxed her dad happily in the house. Ning Haitao chatted with his father-in-law from time to time, and they enjoyed themselves together.

"Dad, I'm not the one saying it!" The stepmother's thoughts were not pure. You earned one hundred yuan for your big brother to get married. She used me to change the marriage, so logically speaking, the money should be saved. No matter what, big brother should buy new clothes for the marriage, and make a new bed! "But look at what my big brother is wearing, it's still the same shabby clothes from before. Do you know what the people in the village are saying?"

Seeing that her relationship with her father was almost settled, Liu Shufang started to write a report for her stepmother.

"What are you talking about?"
