Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 876 - Xiaomi Porridge and Cornbread_1

Chapter 876 -876 Xiaomi Porridge and Cornbread_1

By the time the last day came, Xiaoxia brought over the first meal of these four days: a bowl of thick Xiaomi porridge and two pieces of cornbread made from dark flour.

The dark flour was almost all bran, which was especially rough on the throat, but the Zhang Family could no longer afford to be picky, gulping down the two pieces of cornbread while drinking the Xiaomi porridge.

Xiaoxia stood by the window, watching her with a sense of concern, “Why do you bother with this? The kid doesn’t need his mother to worry once he’s grown up. Sanlang has already become a Juren; there’s no need for you to clash with him.”

Even though the current Emperor advocates filial piety in governing the country, there are still some formidable daughters-in-law who simply do not take their parents-in-law seriously, firmly controlling the family’s power without allowing the older generation any say in the matter.

But as long as these daughters-in-law don’t abuse their in-laws, as long as what they do is not too excessive, no one says anything about it.

When people get old, being able to eat and drink is enough; why insist on fighting for that last breath of pride?

Besides, the Tong Family lives quite comfortably, looking down upon the entire village next to the Qiao Family.

It’s just that people never seem to be content.

Hearing these words, the Zhang Family gave Xiaoxia a disdainful look, “I bore and raised him for seventeen years, and this is how he treats me; do you think I can accept this?!”

“They say they’ve given silver, but all the silver has been taken by his father; I haven’t seen a single copper coin!”

“His grandfather is now short on funds, we’re given less for our expenses, and now ours is a vegetarian household every day. Have you ever seen the birth mother of a Juren lord eating vegetarian every day?”

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxia fell silent.

She had only seen Tong Sanlang, a Juren, and didn’t know about the conditions of other Juren mothers…

Moreover, it wasn’t even true that they ate vegetarian all the time. Though Tong Xingda held on to the silver, Xingda was not one to endure hardship and would buy something nice to eat from time to time.

After all, the blame was on the Zhang Family; even Qiao Xiaomai was bold enough to sever ties with her own grandmother, let alone a mother-in-law like Zhang Family.

Trying to use filial piety to pressure Qiao Xiaomai was an incredibly naive thought.

But Xiaoxia had said all she was going to say. From the looks of it, the Zhang Family was so consumed by the thought of revenge that any further advice would be futile.

After finishing the bowl of Xiaomi porridge and the two pieces of cornbread, she looked to Xiaoxia, “What did my father say?”

“The Village Chief said that from now on, the four of us will take turns providing your meals, limiting them to Xiaomi porridge and cornbread. However, my family has salted vegetables. I’ll bring you some salted vegetables tomorrow, okay?”

The cornbread, specifically requested by Tong Tiehu, was almost entirely bran with only a little bit of flour mixed in; it was hard to swallow without something else to accompany it.

The Zhang Family failed to appreciate Xiaoxia’s kindness; her mind could only focus on the few words: Xiaomi porridge and cornbread.

Was she to eat these things from now on?

Oh, heavens!

It was unimaginable!

She wiped her mouth and said, “I’ll give you a hundred copper coins, and you have your man go find Sanlang. Tell him I’m about to starve to death and if he doesn’t want to see my corpse, he should come and see me.”

“That won’t do, the Village Chief said, we must absolutely not use this matter to trouble Sanlang.” Xiaoxia immediately shook her head.

Upon hearing this, the Zhang Family gritted her teeth so hard they made a grating sound, “Did my father say how long I would be confined?”

“Until New Year.”

The Zhang Family was speechless…

Thinking of the dreadful two months ahead, she immediately said, “Go tell my father, just say I realize my mistakes. I’ve changed.”

Zhang Xiaoman was right; first lower your head and apologize, say a few nice words, and lay low for now!

She would bide her time and plot slowly once Tong Sanlang went to the Capital City for the examinations next year!
