It’s all because Zhao Xiulan said these words and instigated in front of Zhao Weiguo, otherwise Zhao Weiguo would not refuse to agree to her request.

Ma Yumei discovered that Zhao Xiulan’s whole personality had really changed since she fell into the river last time.

She used to say that Zhao Xiulan absolutely didn’t even dare to fart, but now that she has a sharp mouth, she is much more courageous. In front of Zhao Weiguo, she also learned how to complain, which tilted Zhao Weiguo’s heart towards the two sisters.

This is not okay. If this situation continues, how can she and Lijuan live well in this family in the future?

Zhao Weiguo is biased towards these two bitches, and their life as mother and daughter will definitely be a little worse.

Zhao Xiulan was happy because Zhao Weiguo was now protecting her and her sister. The memory of the original owner made Zhao Xiulan feel that Zhao Weiguo hated her, and now she knew that Zhao Weiguo was not someone who didn’t understand things at all.

It’s just that he is a rake-eared father and whoever blows wind past his ears is strong and he’ll be biased towards that person.

In the past, Zhao Xiulan carried everything silently. Her methods and abilities were incomparable to Ma Yumei’s mother-daughter pair. It was normal for her to suffer so many grievances.

But now, Zhao Xiulan would pretend to be pitiful and reasonable, so Zhao Weiguo’s heart would naturally slowly turn towards her.

As long as she guides him more in the future, she is not afraid that Zhao Weiguo will be too confused.

This time, Ma Yumei’s mother-daughter pair were deflated, which made Zhao Xiulan very happy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Xiulan took the initiative to take up the task of cooking dinner and said, “Dad, I’ll cook sorghum noodles for you to eat!”

It’s not that Zhao Xiulan wants to work diligently, but that she wants to show herself more in front of Zhao Weiguo, to set off Li Lijuan’s laziness with her diligence.

Of course, most importantly, Zhao Xiulan is not at ease when the flour is handed over to Li Lijuan to be cooked. What if Li Lijuan eats them secretly? If she cooks it herself, she won’t be worried that Li Lijuan will steal it.

Zhao Weiguo nodded, and when he saw Zhao Xiulan’s figure enter the kitchen and get busy, he felt even more emotional.

Then he took a look at Li Lijuan, who was yelling before after doing a little work, and couldn’t help but said, “Lijuan, you should learn more from Xiulan. There is no such thing as not being tired from work, who didn’t survive the hardships? Others can bear it, so why do you have to be more squeamish than others?

I am not asking you to be the same as Xiulan, but you have to do more work than Xiuzhu, okay?”

Zhao Weiguo, the stepfather, originally didn’t know how to discipline Li Lijuan, lest Ma Yumei say that she is being treated harshly.

But in the past two days, he couldn’t help but say a few words, because Li Lijuan had become too much.

After Li Lijuan was scolded by Zhao Weiguo, she entered her room angrily.

It’s all that bitch, Zhao Xiulan, fault!

It caused her not to talk about her not going to work, and now she is also hated at home.

Zhao Xiulan didn’t care that Li Lijuan was angry and acted as a demon, but she snorted coldly, “For anyone who doesn’t know how to come out of the room after a while, then don’t expect that you’ll have a meal to eat!”

After speaking, Zhao Xiulan continued to get busy, and Zhao Xiuzhu helped her in the kitchen.

Zhao Xiulan is responsible for kneading the dough and cooking the noodles, and Zhao Xiuzhu is responsible for making and controlling the fire.

Although she is a 6- to 7-year-old child, the children of poor families have been in charge of housework early, and Zhao Xiuzhu can basically do anything.

Zhao Xiulan kneaded the sorghum flour, then rolled them into noodles, and cooked what’s enough for the family.

There are 2 catties of sorghum flour and 1 catty of it was used at once. In this way, one person can get about 200 grams of noodles in one bowl! It’s totally enough!

There are also some vegetables grown on a private plot of the family, but not many, all of which are taken care of by Zhao Weiguo on normal days.
