She was from the countryside, she should already count herself lucky to marry Mo Beihan. But… she knew the neighbor’s brother. Their family situation was even better than theirs!

They only had one son, and she wanted to marry her own niece to him…

Her niece had visited often, and she had recommended her to that damn woman many times. But the neighbor had not responded at all. She had never mentioned an engagement between Zhou Ping’s niece and her nephew…

But she had taken a fancy to Gu Qingyao, who was already engaged…

Zhou Ping was furious.

When she got home, she saw the two younger boys wolfing down the cream cakes. They were eating and talking in muffled tones.

Little Seven: “Elder Sister, you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for so long!”

Little Eight, “That’s right, Elder Sister. We’ll have meat now that you’re here. I haven’t had meat for a long time, wu wu wu!”

Little Seven: “I want red braised pork. Elder Sister, your red braised pork is the nicest. Cook that for me!”

Little Eight: “I want fish. Mother hasn’t bought meat for us for a long time. Last month, Third Brother bought a fish and we made it last for two days. I want to eat fish!”

Zhou Ping happened to hear this and her expression darkened even further.

“Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating. Look at how fat both of you are. Do other children live as well? Don’t your school fees cost money? Didn’t you see your older cousins during the new year? What kind of life are they living? What kind of lives are you living? You’re so discontented.”

When he heard that, Little Seven felt a little aggrieved. He mumbled, “Second and Third Cousin are doing quite well! You buy them new clothes every year, but I’m wearing Third Brother and Fifth Brother’s hand-me-downs which have been altered! Elder Sister made me two sets last year, but you haven’t made me new clothes since then.”

Gu Qingyao’s eyelid twitched. Disaster…

Sure enough, Zhou Ping exploded when she heard that. She rushed over and smacked Little Seven’s head.

“What nonsense are you spouting? Your cousins have always lived in the countryside and have such a hard life. So what if I give them new clothes during the new year? You live in the city all year round. Do you know how much your older cousins envy you? You don’t know how fortunate you are.”

Little Seven had been eating his cake. The sudden smack hit his head and pushed it to the side. The bit of cream cake in his hand fell to the ground.

Little Seven was taken aback, then immediately burst into tears!

“Wah… my cake! Cake, wu wu wu…”

Zhou Ping’s heart also ached when she saw that he had dropped the cake. She was already irritated, and Little Seven’s crying annoyed her even further.

“Stop crying!”

Gu Qingyao had been standing there silently. She knew that if she said anything, it would cause even more trouble.

Third Brother Gu Jinlin carried Little Seven and coaxed him a little, then picked up the cake.

Fortunately, he had just mopped the floor, so it was not dirty. He picked off the part that was in contact with the floor. The rest could still be eaten.

The children of this era were tough and not so finicky.

Little Seven only stopped crying when he had his cake back in his hand.

Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan were here, so Gu Jinlin did not want to embarrass his mother by scolding her. He only said, “Mother, if you need to discipline the children, just hit their buttocks. Don’t hit their head, or if you do it too often, they won’t be clever.”

Little Seven had stopped crying, but his eyes were still filled with tears.

Zhou Ping glared at him. “I didn’t use much force. He can’t even hold his cake properly.”
