Chapter 166 I Am Very Smart

Li Xiuqin grumbled in dissatisfaction. Although she could have enough food when guests came, she might not get any grain for the autumn harvest. One bite less would mean one less. Her petty problem came back.

"Sister-in-law, if you are dissatisfied, you can tell Dad. What's the point of telling me?"

Zheng Xinyue sank her face and pouted her. She didn't like Li Xiuqin's habit of grumbling behind her back. She was too petty.

If the job at the grain depot was given to her eldest brother, she would probably want to treat Gu Changfeng to dinner every day!

"How dare I be dissatisfied."

Li Xiuqin's face turned red after what Zheng Xinyue said. She whispered and didn't dare to say anything more and hurried into the yard.

Li Xiuli pursed her lips and glanced at her sister-in-law. Did Xinyue seem to have become more powerful?

There were two large winnowing baskets on the ground in the yard, and a layer of finger-long fish was spread on the winnowing baskets.

The men went into the house and washed their faces and wiped their sweat, while the women went straight to the kitchen.

There was a basin on the kitchen floor, filled with about four or five pounds of fish, all of which were crucian carp as big as a palm. Gao Guilan should have left them for dinner.

"It seems that Mom won't be back at noon?"

Li Xiuli looked at Zheng Xinyue and said, she was waiting for Zheng Xinyue to speak, they didn't dare to touch these fish when her mother-in-law was not at home, they would definitely be scolded when they came back.

"Leave a plate for Mom when it's done."

Zheng Xinyue replied, and walked out with the rice bowl.

"Mother-in-law is not at home, we have another little mother-in-law."

Li Xiuqin muttered softly, she was a person who had to speak out when she was dissatisfied.

Li Xiuli glanced at her without saying a word, found the scissors, squatted on the ground and silently cleaned the fish.

"It's so hot, I have to cook after I come back from the field, wait for me to get a basin of cold water to wash."

Li Xiuqin wiped the sweat and complained softly, without waiting for her cousin to respond, she looked outside irritably, and saw that the men had finished washing and went into the house, she ran to get a basin of cold water into the kitchen, closed the door and scrubbed.

Leave all the work to Li Xiuli. Anyway, my mother-in-law is not at home. Besides, I have to cook at night. Shouldn't Li Xiuli cook at noon?

Li Xiuli looked at her with dissatisfaction. The lunch time is short and the family has invited guests. Cleaning fish is a slow job. If my cousin is so lazy, can she still prepare lunch?

"Tiechui, Erya, help your mother clean the fish. You are so old but still have no sense."

Li Xiuqin obviously thought of this and ordered Li Xiuli's two children. Li Xiuli's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction.

Zheng Xinyue didn't know that the two sisters-in-law were fighting in the room. She closed the door when she entered the warehouse.

The cornmeal in the rice jar was empty. She entered the space and took out the cornmeal she exchanged from the city and poured it into the rice jar. She scooped a basin of cornmeal and asked the big girl to bring it into the house.

The few pounds of fish were obviously not enough to eat. She closed the door and entered the space. She saw that the potatoes were all ripe last night. Now they are not too big, so it won't be suspected if they are taken out.

But she ignored the rapid productivity of the space. When she pulled out the potatoes, they were as big as a fist. If she took them out like this, she would definitely be suspected.

She simply washed the mud off the potatoes in the river in the space, peeled the potatoes with the peeler in the space, and then cut them into small pieces, so that the size of the potatoes could not be seen.

"It turns out that I am very smart."

Zheng Xinyue looked at the basin of cut potatoes proudly. If no one praised her, she would praise herself. The space was very comfortable and she was reluctant to leave, but she did not dare to stay for long and left the space in a hurry.

Because she did not bring a basin, Zheng Xinyue put the cut potatoes in a bucket and carried them out of the warehouse.

After entering the house, Li Xiuqin saw Zheng Xinyue pouring the cut potatoes out of the bucket and asked her in surprise.

"Little sister, what did you use to cut the potatoes?"
