Sister-in-law Ji stood in front of the door and pressed her ears to hear the sound. After listening for a while, she heard nothing.

She looked at Ji Huai and the two, opened her eyes slightly, and pointed at the door, "Is something going to happen?"

Ji Huai frowned, put down the half-knitted bamboo basket, stood up, walked towards Sister-in-law Ji, and knocked on the door twice, "Second brother?"

The door is locked from the inside, which means that the person must be inside. If there is no response inside, there may be something wrong.

After he waited, Tang Xiuer also got up and walked back.

Ji Huai paused for a while, feeling more and more strange, and about to knock twice more, a weak voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"

That was Sister-in-law Ji's voice, and her hoarseness revealed that she was tired and weak.

"Just asking, are you okay? Why haven't you seen anyone all morning?" Sister-in-law Ji said to the crack in the door. She seemed to smell a strange smell and covered her nose. "Why does the smell in your house feel so weird?"

"

Smelly and sour.

Sister-in-law Ji was about to open the door, but when she heard what she said, she held her stomach and stepped back, holding on and saying, "It's okay, I'm sleeping."

"It's already noon." Sister-in-law Ji felt strange. She thought she had something to do, so she knocked on the door again, asking the other party to open it.

The whole family has been hiding in the room for a long time. If it were a normal day, Ji Er's sister-in-law would have driven the eldest Ya and Er Ya to cut the grass. How could they let the two girls sleep for so long.

"It's okay." Sister-in-law Ji said again, her tone seemed to reveal her impatience, and she stopped answering.

Sister-in-law Ji stopped looking for trouble. As she turned to leave, she glanced at the closed door again.

Ji Huai and Tang Xiuer didn't mind their own business and went to the utility room again to continue busy with their own affairs.

Sister-in-law Ji went to dry the clothes again, and after drying, she took a basin. When she walked towards the two of them, she looked at the bamboo baskets and bamboo hats made by Ji Huai, praised her a few words, and then said, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to hunt in the mountains today?"

"

Although Ji Huai has selfish motives now, he might get something back if he goes hunting in the mountains, and he won't get anything if he doesn't go.

"I'm not going." Ji Huai didn't raise his head.

He didn't answer enthusiastically, but Sister-in-law Ji didn't feel embarrassed and said to herself, "You are more skillful with your hands than mom. The bamboo hats your elder brother bought in town are not as good as yours. A few days ago

They were all broken and I couldn’t wear them at all. I even said I had to go to the town to buy them. I thought, other people’s shoes are not as good as those made by my third brother, so I might as well buy them from my third brother.”

After hearing what she said, Tang Xiuer looked over from the corner of her eye.

Could she still know what Sister-in-law Ji meant? She said "buy". In fact, she knew that Ji Huai would not accept her money.

As expected, Ji Huai said, "It's all trivial matters. I don't want your and eldest brother's money."

Sister-in-law Ji smiled, as if she had guessed this, "How embarrassing is that? How can I get it for free?"

Over the years, they have been taking things for nothing, so naturally they still treat Ji Huai as he was before, only saying nice things with their mouths, and not being polite when it's time to take things.

She was still thinking about the three eggs given in exchange for fish, and how to get them from other places. She asked Ji Huai for a bamboo basket or a bamboo hat, and she would earn money.

It has to be said that Sister-in-law Ji's calculations are not ordinary.

Tang Xiuer listened to her words, speeded up the embroidery on her hands, pursed her red lips, and did not look at Sister-in-law Ji. It took a long time for Ji Huai to weave a bamboo hat, and he had to go to the mountain to chop bamboo, and his hands were all cut out.

The injury was just for nothing.

Just when she was feeling depressed, Ji Huai stopped and said, "If my sister-in-law feels sorry for her, I would like to give you ten eggs to replenish Xiu'er's health."

Sister-in-law Ji's expression immediately calmed down.

If the bamboo hat made by Ji Huai is sold in the town, it will definitely be exchanged for ten eggs. But if there are ten eggs, then you have to save them one by one.

Three eggs in exchange for a fish was enough to make her collapse. Now it takes ten eggs to exchange for a bamboo hat? Ji Huai's words are getting more and more excessive. It must be Tang Xiu'er who is causing trouble!

Ji Huai continued, "She has to eat eggs every day now, otherwise there would be nothing else to replenish her body. Eggs are the most suitable."

"Do you have to eat it every day?" Sister-in-law Ji twitched the corner of her mouth and blurted out, "Others don't eat it every day during confinement. How can anyone be so delicate?"

The eldest lady in the palace?

"Others are others, you can eat if you like, and if you want to eat." Ji Huai didn't seem to care, and his attitude was casual.

Tang Xiuer was sitting nearby. She had indeed been eating eggs every day these days, and the amount of eggs and meat she ate had almost caught up with the amount she had eaten in the previous year. When he said this, he couldn't help but look over in surprise, and whispered, "Eat

So many, ‌ is not ‌ bad?”

"What's wrong? Is it still poisonous? Now you have to eat alone and two people can take it! You have it at home, so eat it hard!" Ji Huai was helpless.

"Oh." Tang Xiuer said nothing.

"We don't have so many eggs at home." Sister-in-law Ji said in a dilemma. She didn't want to give eggs to replenish her health. After Tang Xiuer came to Ji's house, before Sister-in-law Ji got married, she worked as a maid for her.

When she gives birth to a child, the other party will wash all the clothes and do all the dirty work.

A "maid" wants to eat and drink well, but she still has to give her eggs? This makes her uncomfortable.

"Give as much as you have, and give the rest slowly." Ji Huai said as he picked up the bamboo hat next to him and stretched it towards her.

"Chickens haven't laid many eggs recently, so I don't know if I can get enough." Sister-in-law Ji actually didn't want it. Although it was an advantage, she didn't want to take advantage of it when she thought of giving the eggs to Tang Xiuer.

There are only two hens. If you want to lay more eggs, you need to feed them.

Ji Huai didn't see what she meant. From the corner of his eye, he saw Brother Ji coming back from the door. He continued with his usual expression, "Didn't you say that the bamboo hat that Brother is wearing is no longer worn? Sooner or later, you have to buy it, otherwise

Just use it first? Exchange it for eggs. I just want to give Xiu'er more food, so I'll save the eggs slowly. Mainly, I originally wanted to find someone else to exchange them for."

"I don't know if I can save enough." Sister-in-law Ji still declined, and instead of reaching out to take the bamboo hat, she said, "Now our family doesn't have even one egg, and we still need ten eggs."

She said it seriously, but Ji Huai saw Brother Ji outside the door whose face had already darkened.

After Ji's sister-in-law married in, she gave birth to two sons in succession. She was very upright and arrogant towards Ji's mother, but also looked down upon Brother Ji.

In my last life, I got into a relationship with an old man at the entrance of the village, moving things from home to him. Brother Ji was the life of the old scalper in the family, and he didn't know anything about it.

Ji Huai: "Chickens can lay eggs, big brother has to use them."

This woman is quite ruthless. The sun is so bright, Brother Ji is in the fields every day, and she is not willing to give up ten eggs for a bamboo hat.

"It's not that my sister-in-law is unwilling to part with it. I have to see how many eggs the chicken can lay. I really don't lay many eggs recently." Sister-in-law Ji sighed and said, "I can't guarantee it. You worked so hard to compile it. If you can't get it out, Xiu'er will have to eat it again.

, we feel sorry for ourselves."

She said this because she didn't want to give Tang Xiuer so many eggs, but she wanted Ji Huai to take the initiative to say that he would give less, or preferably not at all. Moreover, she didn't care whether Brother Ji needed it or not.

Before Ji Huai could say anything, Brother Ji came over angrily and yelled, "Our family doesn't even have ten eggs? Let the dogs eat them all?!"

Even if he doesn't care about everything in the house, he still knows where the eggs are and how many there are.

Sister-in-law Ji was so frightened that she turned a little pale. She hesitated and couldn't say a word. She lowered her head and said unconvinced, "We have to spend money on everything in the house, how can we..."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Ji interrupted directly, with a stern face, "Is ten eggs too many? Why didn't you say more when you took the eggs back to your parents' house? Don't let me see you taking things back to your parents' house again!"

If you take it back, you can go back!"

No matter how tough Sister-in-law Ji is, she is afraid of being divorced. If she is driven back to her parents' home, she will have no shame in living in the world anymore and will commit suicide.

Brother Ji took the bamboo hat from Ji Huai's hand. When the two were arguing, he took the initiative and said, "Sister-in-law said that chickens haven't laid eggs recently. You don't have any eggs at home. Otherwise, I'll give you five."

Before Sister-in-law Ji could be happy, Brother Ji said angrily, "Why didn't the chicken lay any eggs? Aren't there just ten eggs? Why not? This woman has too many evil thoughts, so don't bother taking them back to your parents' family! Turn your arm and marry her."

Go home and watch the fire!"

Normally, Brother Ji would definitely be happy. But now, Sister Ji knows that he can no longer wear the bamboo hat he wears when working, and there are eggs at home, so he is reluctant to replace them. Is it not worth it for him to work all day long?

"Wait, I'll get it." Brother Ji said and walked into the house.

"What do you know? Where are there any eggs at home?" Sister-in-law Ji and Brother Ji walked into the house and hurriedly caught up.

If he takes out the egg, wouldn't it mean she lied?

The two entered the house and started arguing inside.

One refused to give it to him, but the other one wanted to give it to him. Brother Ji brought out the eggs hidden under the bed, and Sister Ji quickly grabbed them and refused to let him take them out.

While the two were fighting for each other, they even started to use their hands. Sister-in-law Ji was so anxious that she scratched Brother Ji. Brother Ji, on the other hand, glared and slapped him in the face.

After the beating, he was stunned. After all, Sister-in-law Ji, who gave birth to his two sons, still had a high status in the family.

"You hit me!" Sister-in-law Ji couldn't believe it and instantly turned into a shrew, scratching and scratching her.

Sister-in-law Ji was a little chubby. Brother Ji was pushed and lost his balance. The egg in his hand was thrown towards the door.

Ji Huai happened to come to break up the fight, but he saw a dozen eggs falling in front of him, smashing them to pieces, and the egg liquid splashed all over the floor.

Sister-in-law Ji saw that all the eggs she had been saving for a long time were smashed, and she collapsed emotionally. She went up to beat and bite Brother Ji, and yelled, "Are you satisfied? They were all broken. Now you are satisfied."

Alright?"

Brother Ji was also distressed, but it hurt from the beating. He pushed Sister Ji with bulging veins and cursed, "Crazy woman, you are a crazy woman!"

How could Sister-in-law Ji admit defeat? She continued to step forward, with such momentum that she wanted to fight Brother Ji to the death.

Ji Huai did not step forward to stop the fight, but instead pulled Tang Xiuer aside.

When the two of them had a quarrel, Brother Ji's house was not peaceful. He only heard the anxious voices of Brother Ji and Sister-in-law Ji, "Da Ya? Er Ya?"

"Da Ya?"

"Don't scare me, wake up, Erya?!"

...

Sister-in-law Ji suddenly burst into tears. She cried loudly and kept shouting.

Brother Ji and Sister-in-law Ji, who had a look on their faces, were both alarmed by the movement over there. Brother Ji and his family, who had not opened the door all morning, opened the door.

As soon as I opened the door, a sour smell hit me.

The smell in the room was terrible, Sister-in-law Ji's face was pale, her eyes were sunken, Brother Ji's face was haggard, and he was not much better.

He carried Da Ya and walked towards ‌, his feet were so weak that he almost knelt down.

Sister-in-law Ji Erya couldn't even hold Erya, so she cried and begged Ji Huai to hold her, "Erya and Daya can't wake up. Come on, take them to see the doctor. They can't be woken up."
