Shu Yu’s raised hand to knock on the door paused. She frowned and made a hush gesture at Daniu who walked up.

The next moment, a sarcastic voice came from inside, “Third sister-in-law, do you hear yourself? It’s long past dinner time, and we waited a long time for you to come back. We thought that you had already found something to eat outside. Wouldn’t the food go bad if we kept it?”

Daya pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands and said in a low voice,

“But I haven’t eaten anything all day.”

“Why didn’t you eat?” Another voice followed, “Didn’t you send a big basket of peaches to your family a few days ago? You even have the ability to give your sister such a good piece of cloth. With such ability, how could you not find something to eat?”

“That’s right. Third sister-in-law, don’t tell us that you secretly ate good food outside, right?”

“Do you still have any food on you? Why don’t you let us search you?”

Shu Yu looked around and saw that the walls of the Zhang family were low. She immediately took a few steps forward and moved a big stone over to step on it. With that, half of her head peeked out from the wall and she could see the situation inside at a glance.

At this moment, the two women who were originally sitting on the stools in the courtyard stood up and walked toward Daya.

Then, they started to search Daya.

They said that they were searching her, but they took the opportunity to pinch her a few times.

“Third Sister-in-law, you can’t help your family anymore. You’re married to the Zhang family now. You’re a member of the Zhang family. Even your three nephews haven’t eaten big peaches yet. You’re quite generous.”

“And that piece of cloth. To think you didn’t give it to mother. You’re the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. You should make a set of clothes for mother.”

Daya shrank back in pain, “Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I didn’t do anything. I don’t have anything on me.”

“That’s not necessarily true. You’re usually so quiet. Who knew that you’re such an ingrate? We’ve all been deceived by you.”

The two women were laughing as they pulled her hair.

Shu Yu’s expression turned cold. She broke off a piece of soil from the courtyard wall and was about to throw it over.

Daniu, who had unknowingly been looking over the wall with her, widened his eyes.

However, at this moment, an old woman walked out of the house and looked at her three daughters-in-law with a dark face, “What’s all the noise? Aren’t you afraid of being a laughing stock?”

Madam Zhou and Madam Feng immediately let go of Daya and walked to the woman with a smile.

“Mother, did we wake you up?

“Mother, you can’t blame us for this. It’s third sister-in-law. As soon as she came back, she questioned us why we didn’t leave food for her.”

The old woman immediately glared at Daya, “You still have the cheek to ask us that? You’re just a hen that doesn’t lay eggs. What food do you need? You’re just an ingrate who knows how to find trouble for us. What are you waiting for? Go and clean up the dishes. After washing them, remove the corn kernels from the cob in the corner. There’s no water in the jar too, fill it up later. There’s so much work to do, and you’re still slacking off here. Hurry up and go! If you don’t finish it, don’t even think about sleeping at night.”

Daya cowered and quickly walked into the kitchen with her head lowered.

The old woman spat at her back, “You’re quite bold to bring the cloth back to your mother’s house.”

Madam Zhou and Madam Feng covered their mouths and giggled. “Isn’t that so? We should teach her a lesson and let her know her place.” Shu Yu came down from the wall, and Daniu also hurried down.

“Yu, don’t be anxious. Let’s go and bring Daya out now. The Zhang family is going too far..”
