Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Little sister Su felt that Sixth sister Su was like a mountain pressing down on her head.

However, she was not as good-looking as Sixth sister Su, not as smart as her, not as good at counting, and not as bad as her.

The more little sister Su thought about it, the sadder she became. She squatted in the corner and cried herself to sleep.

Su Wen was worried before she went to bed. When she came over to check, she shook her head helplessly. She gently carried little sister Su to the bed, covered her with a blanket, and locked the door from the outside before leaving.

Early in the morning, He Yulan had not even had breakfast when she got into an argument with her eldest sister-in-law, Zhu Fang, over the work tasks. The issue was simple. It was about earning work credits by working in the fields. With the weather getting hotter and hotter, working in the fields not only exhausted people but also subjected them to unbearable sun exposure.

He Yulan had always been the one who worked in the field among the three daughters-in-law. The eldest sister-in-law had to do housework and feed the pigs and chickens. The second sister-in-law had to take care of the child, and the child was still too young. In their words, only He Yulan had nothing to do.

If she didn’t work in the field, who would?

When He Yulan first entered the household, she naturally kept a low profile and behaved modestly since she didn’t fully understand the situation. She showed great respect to her two sisters-in-law and made efforts to maintain a harmonious relationship with them. However, it has been over half a year now, and neither of her sisters-in-law had worked in the fields a single day. How busy could they be with the house chores?

And what about the mother-in-law? In fact, most of the household chores were done by the mother-in-law.

Naturally, He Yulan couldn’t take it lying down. She mentioned it a few times during this period, but Zhu Fang vaguely rejected it. It was either a headache or a stomachache. In any case, she couldn’t work in the fields. The big brother, Xu Qianjin, even chimed in and said that his wife was too weak to do heavy work.

It infuriated He Yulan. “From today onwards, I won’t go to the fields either.”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone looked over with different expressions.

He Yulan’s mother-in-law pretended not to hear and remained in her room. She usually didn’t involve herself in the disputes among the three daughters-in-law and let them handle their own issues. She would only intervene if she couldn’t tolerate it any longer. However, once she spoke up, her words were final and unquestionable.

In fact, He Yulan’s mother-in-law had already expected that her third daughter-in-law was not easy to bully. Sooner or later, she would make a fuss.

The eldest daughter-in-law was too lazy.

“If you don’t get to the fields, who will? Men are working themselves to death in the fields, and you’re still thinking about enjoying life?” Xu Qianjin asked in a stiff tone.

Zhu Fang hid in the kitchen and snickered. She looked down on He Yulan greatly. She thought, who in the family didn’t treat her like a fool? If it weren’t for the benefits He Yulan’s minority background brought to the family, they wouldn’t even bother acknowledging her existence.

He Yulan sneered. “Of course, it’s your wife.” She didn’t even want to call Zhu Fang as sister-in-law anymore.

In the past, she had treated Zhu Fang well, but Zhu Fang treated her like a fool.

“You don’t even know how to call her eldest sister-in-law?” Xu Qianjin acted like a big brother and scolded Xu Xiangdong, “Third Brother, why don’t you teach your wife well? Is this how she spoke to her eldest brother-in-law? Don’t she know to show respect?”

Xu Xiangdong, who was squatting on the ground sharpening his knife, blushed and clenched his fists tightly.

Xu Qianjin was relentless. He scolded his younger brother like he was scolding his grandson. “Third Brother, I’m talking to you! Can’t you hear me? If you don’t know how to discipline your wife, I’ll discipline you.’

“Pffft…” Zhu Fang gloated.

In the courtyard, the second brother, Xu Yuejin, shrunk his neck and pretended not to exist. When he saw his eldest sister-in-law laughing brazenly in front of Third Brother and his wife, he knew something was wrong. No matter how honest Third Brother was, they could not bully him like this.

Xu Yuejin’s expression turned unpleasant..
