"Huh, you know you're here to help? I thought they were all waiting for me to come and take care of you."
When the mother and daughter from the second room entered the kitchen, the chicken had been killed and placed beside the stove, and the chicken blood was put in a large vegetable bowl. The old lady just happened to be carrying Bunshuya from the backyard and walked in through the door at the other end.
Seeing the two of them, his expression changed.
Seeing this, Madam Liu immediately knew what the old lady was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Mom, we know that this chicken is stewed to replenish the health of dad and Danie. Don't worry, mom, we won't touch even a little bit of grease."
Ernie opened his mouth, thought of his brother's words, closed his mouth again, walked to the stove, and started to light the fire.
"Mom, Ernie light the fire, I'll help you clean up the chicken feathers."
Madam Liu hurriedly took the dry branch from the old lady's hand, placed it at her daughter's feet, and began to ladle water into the large iron pot on the stove.
Seeing this, the old lady's face improved a lot.
"Clean it up, don't throw away the intestines inside, use hot water to scrape it well."
Madam Liu quickly covered the pot lid and wiped the stove again. "I understand, mother, don't worry, the inside will be tidied for you."
"Hmph, don't let me see what you're planning on doing."
At this time, the old lady was really worried about her husband. She snorted coldly and walked out of the kitchen and returned to the upper room.
As soon as she left, the two mothers and daughters in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
In fact, in the past, the ones who ate secretly while cooking were the mother and daughter from the big house, plus Sanlang Little Haozi.
Their second wife never reached out.
But the mother and daughter in the first house were both very stupid and thick-skinned, and would not admit it even to death, so they were the ones who got scolded every time.
Madam Liu Seeing that her daughter didn't speak, she thought she was angry, "That's how your mother has a temper. In fact, she has a good heart."
"Mom, you don't need to speak for her. She has always looked down on our second wife, and she also looks down on me, a loser. It's not like I don't know."
Ernie was indeed angry, but after his brother's persuasion, he was not as angry as before.
"Don't say that, or you'll hear me." Madam Liu hurried to the door and looked outside.
Seeing that no one was outside, he ran back to the stove, sat on the small bench, and while choosing vegetables, he gently persuaded:
"Ernie, Mom said that you have a good milk heart. This is not nonsense. If it weren't for your milk back then, your mother and I might have starved to death. Even if she didn't starve to death, she would have been sold."
At this point, Madam Liu suddenly stopped.
My daughter is still young, so it's best not to tell her this kind of thing.
"Forget it, let's not mention these things. Anyway, your mother's heart is good, and she has such a temper. You are a junior, and you don't want to arrange for the elders like you did today, do you understand?"
Ernie's eyes flickered with curiosity. "Mom, why are you half-speaking? Tell me, how could you starve to death?"
Madam Liu There was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he shook his head. "That was all in the past, let's not mention it anymore."
"Go get a basin of cold water and go to the backyard. We'll go back and pluck the chicken feathers later."
"Oh."
Ernie Although she was thinking about what happened just now, she originally wanted to ask, but seeing that her mother didn't look so good, she wisely kept her mouth shut.

West room, in the wing room, Zhou Li went to her daughter's room happily.
Regardless of whether Su Qiao was sleeping or not, as soon as he entered the room, he sat on the edge of the bed with a smile on his face.
"Your father said that he would kill an old hen to replenish the milk for you. This time you have spent a lot of money on the milk. The second wife is packing it there. You will be able to eat it in a while."
