Chapter 209:
How could it be the renowned Anle Marquis Manor…
“Mom, Bill only eats premium meat. The beef you took is Bill’s food!”
Zhou Shi put her hands on her hips, ready to curse loudly. Old Li Tou’s face turned pale.
“You old woman, still dawdling and courting death? Didn’t you hear? Hurry up and get the beef!”
His scolding voice was so loud that it nearly scared Zhou Shi into heart trouble!
That’s right. He wondered why Second Brother’s Wife had her ear eaten by that beast, yet despite something so serious, she hadn’t come to make trouble. Instead, she shut the door all day to evade!
Oh! No, he couldn’t say beast! Old Li Tou covered his own mouth. His terrified look was extremely comical!
“I said it, didn’t I? Why not name it something nice like Iron Hammer, Dough Ball, Lululu, Dongdong’er, Dragon Egg? Anything but that!”
He narrowed his eyes. He could come up with a pile casually!
“Naming it something weird like Bill! So it’s the beloved dog of the Young Heir of Anle Marquis Manor!”
“Hehe!” So fancy!
“That’s right!”
Old Li Tou suddenly understood. No wonder his father had appeared in his dream after being dead so long, angrily cursing him as an unfilial descendant!
His eyes lit up, then he said seriously, “Old hag, remember, be nicer to Bill! Otherwise, humph!”
This old thing, who knows what he’s scheming again? Could he be planning to divorce her again?
Zhou Shi ran like smoke into the bedroom and took out the beef!
“Here, for you!”
“Mom, from now on Bill’s food cannot be kept in your room anymore. It should be kept in my room!”
“You!”
Zhou Shi was so angry she nearly fell over backward!
Luo Zhi’er fed Bill, stroked its head. Bill whined, burrowing into her arms…
Zhou Shi handed over all the remaining beef. In the main hall, her eyes slanted, as if trying to bore a big hole in Luo Zhi’er’s back!
“A beast cub, humph! Eating premium beef?”
She only dared to mutter behind Old Li Tou’s back!
She had lived her life in vain. Not even as good as a dog!
The whole family waited on it!
Luo Zhi’er pretended not to see.
Luo Zhi’er fed Bill. Li Sanmao went to the village well to fetch water. Miaomiao went along too!
She saw quite a bit of clothing, shoes, inside and out, plus quilt covers and pillowcases drying on the bamboo poles in the yard. It must be Second Brother’s Family’s Chen Shi who washed them.
Chen Shi was quite clean-loving. City folk were particular!
Eldest Sister-in-law Xiao Zhou Shi wasn’t so fond of tidying the room…
After feeding Bill, she went to the room. Passing the bathroom, she planned to wash off the sweat on her body, but saw it was a total mess inside!
The floor was a muddy mess. The changed clothes weren’t washed, just thrown all over the bathroom…
Thinking of the lice, she was scared and quickly used pliers to clamp them out, putting them at Eldest Son’s Family’s doorway!
She scooped several basins of water and carried them over to rinse the floor…
Xiao Zhou Shi came out of the room and saw a pile of clothes in front of her door. She saw Luo Zhi’er vigorously rinsing the bathroom…
She frowned. “Luo Zhi’er, what are you doing?”
“Eldest Sister-in-law, since you used the bathroom, please clean it up!”
“Also, your clothes—you know they’re dirty inside with lice. Doing this isn’t going to infect others?”
Luo Zhi’er couldn’t hold back anymore. At this moment, she felt her own body starting to itch!
“Yo! Just a few days, and look how noble you’ve become. Who doesn’t get lice?”
“Being pretentious about what? I don’t believe you didn’t have these things as a kid?”
Xiao Zhou Shi said disdainfully.
“I really didn’t have them as a kid. Growing up this big, it’s my first time seeing such things!” Luo Zhi’er said coldly.
“You!”
“Not settling down, stirring up trouble again?”
Zhou Shi ran out from the main hall, her eyes darting between the two…
Xiao Zhou Shi’s eyes turned, and she quickly ran to Zhou Shi. “Mom, look. Third Child and his wife lazed around on the mountain for half the day. Soon as they come back, they pick on us!”
“Third Wife, what’s going on?”
Luo Zhi’er said calmly,
“Eldest Sister-in-law and the others used our bathroom and left it filthy. I said a few words!”
“Said a few words, and you throw our clothes out? Since you threw them out and dirtied them, go wash them clean for us!”
Xiao Zhou Shi said shamelessly.
“So shameless. Why leave your own clothes in the bathroom for me to wash?”
“Remember, this bathroom isn’t communal. San Mao built it specially for me and Miaomiao! Given your behavior today, no more using it to bathe in the future!”
“I left them there for you to wash. We haven’t divided the family, so how isn’t the bathroom communal? Daqiang is laboring in the field. You all have to do something!”
“In your dreams! Your hands aren’t broken?”
Xiao Zhou Shi was furious to death. How had this Luo Fatty changed so much from before?
She actually dared to talk to her like this!
Before, she had thrown their clothes for Luo Zhi’er to wash without a word of complaint!
The current Zhou Shi wasn’t the previous Zhou Shi. Though she didn’t like Luo Zhi’er either, she had too many dissatisfactions with this daughter-in-law Xiao Zhou Shi!
Moreover, they had earned over ten taels of silver right upon returning, which gave her hope again.
“Mom, look. She says that bathroom was built for her by Li Sanmao!”
Framing Luo Zhi’er…
“Zhou Hanjuan, Third Wife still went to the mountain to cut grass and gather firewood. What did you do?”
“Not even washing your own clothes and the children’s, making others wash them? Look at Second Brother’s Wife. Look how much she washed?”
This time Zhou Shi spoke fairly. Xiao Zhou Shi didn’t earn a single coin for the family and wouldn’t even wash her own clothes!
If it were before, Luo Zhi’er would definitely be the one scolded. Now the wind had changed!
“Go cook. Make this afternoon’s meal yourself!”
Xiao Zhou Shi unwillingly went to the kitchen to cook. Luo Zhi’er felt like there was a shadow in her heart and scrubbed the bathroom hard several times!
Luo Zhi’er felt she shouldn’t be so soft-hearted. She had long known what kind of person she was. Thinking of how she treated Miaomiao before made her hate fiercely.
It was just seeing Muqing and Yunliang that softened her heart, letting them bathe!
“Third Aunt, Liuliu will help you scrub!”
At this time, Liuliu’s timid voice sounded at the doorway!
“Oh, it’s Liuliu. Third Aunt has already scrubbed it clean. Go help your mom!”
“Oh!”
Luo Zhi’er looked up and said kindly to her. This girl was quite sensible.
“Third Aunt, thank you for buying things and sending them to the prison cell. The meat bun Liuliu ate was the best meat bun in the world!”
Luo Zhi’er smiled. This whole family wasn’t as good as Liuliu.
“If Liuliu likes it, next time Third Aunt earns silver, she’ll buy some for Liuliu!”
“Thank you, Third Aunt!”
Seeing her still dirty, with knotted hair, her big eyes sunken in from being so thin—this little Zhou Shi simply hadn’t bathed Liuliu!
Just as she finished speaking, Xiao Zhou Shi’s soul-calling shout rang out. “Liuliu, you dead girl, where’d you die off to? Come help start the fire!”
“Coming, Mom!”
Liuliu quickly ran over into the kitchen, followed by another burst of scolding…
