Old Lady Bai probed her head to take a look, and just like what Mrs. Zhang said, the cylinder was empty clean. It was even cleaner than her face. There was no grain at all.

Old Lady Bai’s face was originally not good. Today, Zhao Lan, who was as tall the town wall made her feel angry the whole day. And now, the family has an empty grain, which made her feel even worst.

Old Lady Bai’s eyes sharpen, she coldly shouted at Mrs. Zhang: “If we don’t have rice to eat, we could eat wild vegetables, right? Is this something you still need to ask me?”

Mrs. Zhang’s face also changed in color: “Wild vegetables? Where are the wild vegetables?”

The wild vegetables that their family use to eat were all dug by Bai Zhi. Ever since they separated with Zhao Lan and Bai Zhi, they had never seen wild vegetables in the house. The borrowed rice from the cylinder was reduced day by day, but no one tried to fill it. They were all just sitting and eating as if they were only waiting to die.

Their Bai Family has a long background, so how can they become like this?

Mrs. Liu frowned and said: “Second Sister-in-law, what is wrong with you? If there are no wild vegetables at home, why didn’t you let Zhenzhu dig for some? What time do you think it is? We have no rice, no food, what are you doing?”

Mrs. Zhang’s stomach grumbled in anger, Mrs. Liu just hit her limit. Mrs. Zhang, who no longer want to succumb yelled: “First Sister-in-law, is this the only thing you know to say? Let Zhenzhu dig for wild vegetables? Why don’t you let your two treasured sons dig wild vegetables?”

Mrs. Liu stood up from the chair in anger. She put her hand on her waist and shouted: “I want Zhenzhu to dig wild vegetables, what about it? She is a girl, so naturally, she should be the one doing this. Isn’t that dead girl, Bai Zhi always doing this? Bai Zhi can do it, so why Zhenzhu cannot? Only two days had passed and you already forgot all these?”

Mrs. Zhang sneered: “Very good, very good. First Sister-in-law, since you say it like this, in the past, Zhao Lan has always been doing all the work in our field. Zhao Lan is a woman, so to speak, in the future, you’re planning to take over her work?”

Mrs. Liu’s neck shrank: “Is this the same thing? Yes, I am a woman, are you not? If I took over her work, what about you?”

Mrs. Zhang replied back: “First Sister-in-law, you dare to open your mouth, but you don’t dare to work in the field. I, Zhang Shumei, has nothing to fear. If you don’t work, I will not work. I am not Zhao Lan, my Zhenzhu is not Bai Zhi. You can’t treat us the same way you treat them.”

At this time, Bai Dazhu came in from the outside, his arms were still hanging. Although he was not in so much pain anymore, he didn’t dare to work. He was afraid of damaging his arms and affect his future.

“What’s with all the noise? I can hear your voice from afar.”

When Mrs. Liu saw her husband, she immediately softens her eyebrows and pointed her finger at Mrs. Zhang: “It’s second sister-in-law’s fault. She didn’t say there were no grains at home. Look at the time, I can see that she deliberately doing this, I said only 2 sentences, but she bombarded me with 10. So tell me, shouldn’t I get angry?”

Of course, you should be angry!!!

However, Bai Baizhu was after all a man. He doesn’t want to entangle himself between women’s fight.  He looked around and swept his eyes to the empty cylinder. He frowned and said: “It’s too late to restock now. We’re all finished this time.”

Old Lady Bai frowned her eyebrows: “Dazhu, what do you mean by this? Why it’s too late to restock? What happened?”

Bai Dazhu said: “Niang, you don’t know, I just talked to some people outside. I heard that the price of grain in the town has doubled. Say, if we restock two days ago, wouldn’t we have to deal with price increased?”
