”Milk, is there really no pebble in the rice you bought?” Liu Qiuxiang spat out a mouthful of rice that had gravel inside.

At this moment, Liu Qi's mind was entirely focused on what the Liu Sun was saying, so she naturally did not notice it. Tonight, Su Yun was the one who ate the white rice, otherwise, she would definitely beat up this little prodigal woman, Liu Dao Xiang.

”Milk, second uncle's mother still resents the color of the family's grains as being bad, but father said that last year, there was a lot of water in the autumn rain, so the seeds were very damp to recover. Even if they dried later on, the smell was not as good as the smell of dried grains on a sunny day, however, there was nothing second uncle could do about it. Instead, we have to get food from our homes. It's fine if we have to get food there, but we have to exchange it for money to buy good food. ”

She could not be blamed for being selfish. She had not been living in this house for long, and to be able to treat her father like this, she felt that she had done pretty well. Furthermore, she and Liu Qiuxiang were still growing.

This dinner was passed amidst Liu Qi's low curses. Liu Dafu seemed to be accustomed to this scene and did not have much of an expression on his face, as he continued to act according to his own will.

When they returned to their own room, Liu Sanguan couldn't help but ask the two sisters, ”How come I don't know what your second uncle's mother said?”

Would hearing Liu Dao Xiang and her sister say that made his heart feel at ease? He and his father were the main labourers in the family. These 30 mu of fertile land and 10 mu of dry land were all served by them. Only when there were too many of them would they hire people to help with the harvesting.

Just as Liu Qiuxiang was about to say that they were lying, Liu Dao Xiang stabbed her in the back lightly, causing her words to slide back down her throat.

Liu Dao Xiang curled her lips and replied: ”Father, it's not like Second Aunt's brain is broken, she's still hoping that Father will help them grow more food, how could she say that in front of you?”

If he didn't say it in front of everyone? It was just muttering behind his back!

”Father, can we really not split up? Look, in the forty mu of land at home, just you and your grandpa are there, that's fine, but you've been tired all year, and you don't even have a single copperplate. Father, you don't know, I saw Second Uncle taking milk and eggs to change Big Sister Zhu'er's flowers and putting on some white sugar, and Big Sister Zhu'er even used it to covet me, saying that I'm a ghost from a poor family, and would never be able to eat that sweet and sticky white sugar. ”

Liu Sanguan looked at her second daughter, who was acting coquettishly in front of him right now because she had eaten egg and mushroom soup during the night, and saw that she was now taller, her face not as yellow as before. Liu Sanguan was very frustrated; as a father, he had never put anything decent onto his daughters before, not even a red hair rope.

He thought about it again. Previously, he thought that silver was not important. In any case, he was always at home, so it was only right for him to work for his family.

But now, he didn't want to think about it anymore. Why should Eldest Brother earn so much money for his own house? When he came here, he would have to pay for his fourth brother's studies, and even leave some dowry for his own little sister. Boss and Second Bro don't even need to care? Not only did he not care, but he also wanted to fish for things from his house.

In the past, Liu Sangui thought of everyone as blood brothers, so there was no need to calculate it so clearly. Later on, Liu Qi would nag him, saying that it wasn't easy for Eldest Brother and Second Brother to be outside, and that they had to spend money on everything they went out to.

He had been to the Lianshan Town as far as he could in his life. Under the guidance of Liu Qi, the people outside were even more ferocious than the bugs in the mountains, and there wasn't even a drop of blood when it came to eating people.

But from time to time, Liu Dao Xiang would compare his second uncle's family's food and clothing with her own family. She was just like this, merciless, forcing Liu Sanguan to have no choice but to face the current situation.

She believed that when people changed their mindset, they would think of caring for their family and wanted to love them, so they wouldn't listen to Liu Qi's words anymore. The ultimate purpose of her plan was still to split the family.

That night, for the first time in his life, Liu Sanguan lost sleep. He lay on his bed, wanting to roll over and over, but was afraid of disturbing the mother and daughter pair beside him, so he could only forcibly endure the pain until daybreak.

Liu Dao Xiang did not know that her inexpensive father had been fighting for an entire night. At home, only Zhang Gui Hua and Liu Chunxiang were sleeping, so Liu San Gui should have gone to the fields, while Liu Qiuxiang went to the kitchen to cook pig food.

She disappeared into the space in a flash, and upon seeing the chicken getting bigger and bigger every day, Liu Dao Xiang's heart was filled with hope.

After breakfast, Liu Dao Xiang who had already cleaned up the chicken dung and filled up her bowl with water and chicken food swaggered out the door.

Liu Qi brought Liu Xiaolan to ”harass” the little gongzi. They were eager to see how far Liu Dao Xiang and her sister would die, so long as it did not appear in front of them, they would not care where they went.

Liu Dao Xiang thought about how this chicken would earn money in the future. What excuse could she use to give it to her parents?

”Dao Xiang, Dao Xiang, you heartless girl, why haven't you played with me for so long?”

A clear and tender voice interrupted her deep thoughts, causing Liu Dao Xiang to raise her head, she saw a little girl who was missing her front teeth, with her hair combed back by a red string, smiling at him heartlessly.
