A'Lan glanced at her and immediately despised the aura of a village woman on her body. She then looked at Luo-shi who was only in her thirties, but her hands and face were so dark and rough, and was incomparable to A'Lan's fair skin.

A'Lan looked at her mockingly, then said, "Don't worry, only people like you would want to talk about it."

How could Luo-shi not understand what A'Lan meant? But at this time, she suffered a loss, so naturally, she wouldn't care about what A'Lan had said.

However, she wouldn't let A'Lan off either.

As for A'Lan, she wasn't thinking about Luo-shi at this moment, but about how happy Lin Xiaoye and Sister Hu looked after she left, it wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface.

Also, the Lin Xiaoye from her aunt's mouth doesn't know how to get along with people and never cares about her family's affairs, and would often bring the things that Huo Li brought over to the Lin family. Moreover, her aunt also said that Lin Xiaoye was muddle headed.

But today, when she looked at Lin Xiaoye again, she didn't seem to be like that at all and she even looked clever. Could she be just over thinking?

Just as A'Lan was still thinking, Luo Shi's voice sounded out.

"A'Lan, do you think that the things that that cheap bitch Lin Xiaoye brought today are hers? I really don't believe that it belongs to Hu Sister-in-Law."

Although the situation of Hu Sister-in-Law's family was relatively better, according to normal times, she wouldn't be buying stuff for the New Year this early.

Upon hearing her words, A'Lan looked at Luo-shi.

"Are you suspecting that Lin Xiaoye bought all those things?"

Luo-shi shook her head in doubt: "I don't know either, but Lin Xiaoye never had any money and her husband Huo Li is just a hunter. Furthermore, the weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and there are very few prey in the mountain."

However, if one were to say that Lin Xiaoye didn't buy it, she felt that something was off.

A'Lan listened to these words and her eyes suddenly narrowed.

It seems like this Lin Xiaoye isn't simple!

Having these thoughts, A'Lan immediately replied: "Luo-shi, if you don't want me to tell my aunt about this matter, then you'll have to listen to my words."

Hearing her, Luo-shi was startled: "A'Lan, what is the meaning of this? Although I stole something to eat, it's not something from my family. How can you still tell on me? I am the Lin Family's eldest Daughter-in-Law, not your servant."

Although Luo-shi still said that on the surface, she felt weak inside.

A'Lan was not afraid of her at the moment, so she walked up to Luo-shi and whispered in her ears: "Then you're not worried that I'll tell aunt about what you did? You must think it through. As long as I say it, my aunt will surely believe me."

Then, A'Lan turned and was about to call for Sun-shi.

Seeing that, Luo-shi became extremely anxious and immediately extended her hand to cover A'Lan's mouth.

Luo-shi had done housework before, so not only was her hand rough, there was also an unpleasant smell. She had even pressed her hand against A'Lan's face, shocking her to the point that her eyes widened, so she immediately shouted.

With this shout, everyone in the house came out.

When Sun-shi saw that Luo-shi was covering A'Lan's mouth with her hands, she shouted loudly.

"Lao Da's wife, are you tired of living?"

At this point, Lao Da had a puzzled look on his face, "Wife, what are you doing?"

Lin Lao'er and Wang-shi, who were at the side, also had doubtful looks on their faces.

Seeing this, Luo-shi immediately let go of her hands, and quickly reminded A'Lan: "Talk properly."

After saying that, she let go of her hand.

A'Lan immediately looked like she was reborn, she quickly took a few steps back and wiped her face and mouth with a handkerchief, and then spat on the ground. She then raised her head and pointed at Luo-shi.

"You bitch, you actually put your dirty hand on my face? You've even dirtied my face!"

Maybe A'Lan was so angry that she didn't even pay attention to her words.

Upon hearing this, everyone widened their eyes in shock.

Luo-shi wasn't also someone to be trifled with, she would never allow others to bully her, how could she let A'Lan call her a bitch?

Immediately, she placed her hands on her hips and asked, "Who are you calling a bitch? What's wrong with my hands? Didn't I do the work for your aunt's family when you're just idling around? Yet you despise my hands for being dirty, but I didn't even despise your mouth for being dirty!"

After she finished speaking, Luo-shi quickly spat at her.

Earlier, she was still talking to A'Lan in a good tone and even said so many good things, but she didn't expect this woman to be so unreliable. Did she really think she was beautiful? She didn't even take a piss to reflect on her own morals.

She doesn't even look at her age and thinks that everyone likes her all day long.

Thinking about that, Luo-shi rolled her eyes at A'Lan in ridicule.

"Lao Da's wife!" Sun-shi immediately roared.

At this time, Sun-shi roared, came forward and slapped Luo-shi right in the face.

"A'Lan is my niece. What are you? You still dare say that my niece was doing nothing all day long? Didn't you go out to wash clothes? Hurry up and scram! "

Luo-shi caressed her hot face, the anger in her heart rushed up and she shouted out.

"Mother, what are you talking about? No matter what, I am your eldest Daughter-in-Law, haven't I done enough work for this family in so many years? I won't be washing these clothes anymore!"

With that said, Luo-shi kicked the basin over and it immediately went back inside the house.

When she passed by him, Lao Da wanted to hold her back, but she shook his hand angrily, so he hurriedly chased after her.

And Sun-shi, after being answered by Luo-shi, she was immediately so angry that her chest rose and fell.

"You're all going against me right? Do you still want this family? Can we still get through this life?"

At this moment, Wang-shi looked at everyone and could only helplessly sigh as her face turned gloomy.

In her heart, she felt that if this family really collapsed, it would be a good thing.

Just as she was thinking, Sun-shi's roar rushed into her ears.

"You cheap bitch, why are you still standing there in a daze? Why aren't you washing all of these clothes for this old lady?"

Wang-shi froze for a moment before clenching her hand. "But Mother, I still have more pig grass to cut later…"

"Just come back after washing these clothes. The work hasn't finished yet, so don't even think about eating!"

Sun-shi didn't wait for Wang-shi to finish, she immediately roared and turned back into the house.

A'Lan fiercely kicked the basin on the floor, then followed Sun-shi into the house.

Wang-shi looked at the clothes on the ground and then at Lao'er, who was standing at the side. There was still some hope in her heart, but she didn't expect to see him sigh helplessly.

"Hurry up and get to work." With that, Lao'er took his hoe and went out.
