Xiao Zhang had been keeping a low profile for some time, not because he wanted to, but simply because he was out of money.

It's not just about gift-giving anymore, even getting family meals on the table has become a problem. Tian Feng got into trouble for going against authority. While he wasn't openly reprimanded, he was secretly assigned all the menial and unpleasant tasks.

When Tian Feng felt unbalanced, the matter was dropped.

But before leaving, he also let out a harsh word, that he wasn't fired, but that he didn't want to do it anymore. His cousin is a wealthy person who wants to take him to make a fortune.

Those in charge don't believe it, and the others don't either.

There are really relatives like that who have already made a fortune and don't need to work hard for this little money.

Tian Feng lost his income, and the whole family's life became difficult.

"Why don't you just go and tell Guihua directly? You never know, she might even give you some money." Zhang shi suggested.

Xia Zhang rolled her eyes dramatically. “Mother, you've avoided your elder sister-in-law for so many years because you were afraid of poor relatives. Now that you've become poor yourself, she's suddenly willing to associate with you?”

This is also the reason why Xiao Zhang pretends to be fat.

>Who would want to associate with a distant, impoverished relative they haven't seen in years? She certainly wouldn't.

"This won't work, and that won't work either. We're running out of rice at home." Zhang shi cooked every day, and watching the rice in the rice jar decrease little by little made her anxious.

Tian Zhengqing was tapping on his cigarette holder, which was empty. He was poor and couldn't afford to buy more.

"Daughter-in-law, then what do you say we should do?"

Xiao Zhang struggled several times, but she didn't get a discount and spent quite a bit of money. However, with Tian Feng protecting her, no one dared to say anything about her.

One can only say such things behind one's back.

"Dad, if this were so easy, you and Mom would have already figured it out. Why would you need me?"

She curled her lip. "It's precisely because it's difficult that I had to swallow my pride and ask my aunt for help. I guess I'm just unlucky, having to do this thankless chore."

Tian Feng is indecisive. He's really afraid that his daughter-in-law will quit, "Daughter-in-law, you say what to do, we'll do it. No one will blame you, we'll all listen to you."

In one sentence, Zhang swallowed all her grievances.

Xia Zhang glanced at the man and softly said, "I still need to think about it."

"Mother, when are we having dinner? I'm starving to death." Tian Dàxuě shouted as soon as she entered the door.

"You only know how to eat, look at your behavior, you're still eating."

Although Little Zhang was stood up by the little dumpling, he still envied Tian Guihua for having such a beautiful and lively young girl.

Every time she thought of Fu Jiujiu, she would look down on her own daughter.

He's not just stupid, he's also surprisingly ugly. All he does is eat all day long.

Tian Daxiue's eyes were red, she was about to cry.

Xiao Zhang suddenly remembered, "Why did you skip school? Shouldn't you be at the academy at this time?"

"Mom spent money to train you, and you didn't study hard?"

"Tian Daxue, this is so unfair! "Mother, I told you yesterday that we take two days off a month, and today's not one of them."

"Have you said that before?" Xiao Zhang pondered for a moment, having no recollection at all. It didn't matter, though.

"That's all I have to say." Tian Dajue pouted.

Then Fu Jiujiu won't go either, will she?

Everybody's gone home for the holidays, there isn't a single person left in the school.

"She's home? Which home did she return to?" asked Xiao Zhang.

Tian Dajue saw the little milky dumpling in the school hall, and she was also keeping a distance from her, wouldn't talk to her, and wouldn't go around her.

Because she hates Fujujiao.

Her mother treated Fu Jiu Jiu better than her.

"I don't know." Tian Dajue said glumly.

Xiao Zhang's eyes rolled, "Master, pack your things."

"What are you doing?" Tian Feng didn't understand.

"I guess my aunt must have taken the child back to her hometown. It's almost time to plant crops, right? Let's go help."

When Tian Feng heard that he was going to work in the fields, his eyebrows furrowed. "Wife, don't make fun of me. I haven't done farm work for years, it's impossible, I can't do it."

Xia Zhang glared at him, her face full of frustration. She wished she could have hammered some sense into them. How was it that no one in this family but herself was capable of thinking?

"Who made you really dry, do you still want to take advantage of it? We just need them to see our heart and it's done."

Tian Feng listened with a confused expression, thinking to himself that he didn't want to do farm work.

"Well...let's go then." Tian Zhengqing said, "It shows we're sincere."

Xiao Zhang didn't stop him, but looking at her in-laws, she still had something to say, "Father, mother, let's make it clear first, we don't ask you to succeed, but don't mess things up either. No matter what people say when we get there, just listen.

"Why is she talking about me?" Zhang shi said.

Little Zhang shook her head helplessly, "With all the things you've done, why don't you marry an old man yourself?"

Zhang's mouth was shut, she stopped talking.

Tian Guihua really brought the little milk dumpling back home. The first time she left her old man for so long, she was also worried.

Besides, she was also thinking about her family.

As soon as she left the academy, she wanted to return, but unfortunately the monkey didn't come. She had no idea what was going on and could only go home with a few maids and spend the night there.

The next day, she directly hired a carriage with several maids and returned to the village.

The monkey was also unlucky, breaking its leg and forgetting all about it.

It wasn't until nightfall that the monkey's wife told Fu Baiman.

Although Fu Baiman was anxious, he felt it wasn't a big deal. There were places to live and money to spend in the county, so his children would definitely be fine.

As expected, the next morning, the carriage brought back his wife and young daughter. The other maids also returned to their respective homes.

Fu Baiman hugged his little daughter and kissed her again and again, "My precious daughter, I miss you so much. Did you miss your daddy?"

"Yes, Mother misses Father too."

A little one's words made everyone blush. Several wives turned their faces away, their shoulders shaking with laughter.

Tian Guihua couldn't help but laugh and cry, "This child."

"But Fu Baimian didn't care. "So what? It's normal for husband and wife. What's there to think about? Only young people would think that way, why shouldn't we?"

"<>>"

"Mother, Father misses you too. Every day, every meal, every drink, he thinks of you! He can't even speak without mentioning you!"

Wu shi was not as quick-witted as her, but she nodded in agreement.

Tian Guihua's face turned even redder.

Fu Baiman looked down at his wife, only feeling that after a period of time apart, she seemed more delicate. How could she get younger as she lived?

Tian Guihua quickly pulled back several people who were out of tune. “How is the land at home?”

Although she's wealthy now, Tien Guihua hasn't forgotten her roots. This land can't be left to waste.

"Mother, just rest assured, come inside and have some water." Zhou shi rarely said something so agreeable.

Tian Guihua nodded her head, and the whole family went into the house.

Tien Guihua drank some water and discovered that her eldest son was not there. Although he was the oldest, he had never left her side since he was a child. "Where is Dayin?"

"Dai Jin went to divide the strawberry seedlings." Fu Baimian said.

"Father was waiting for you to come back before he left," Zhou said quickly.

Fu Baiwan cleared his throat, "Huh... what's up?"

He just wants a wife, is that wrong?
