After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 266, Episode 0280: A family of three sits in a row eating melon seeds (Part 6)
Ye Liping is the director of the Women's Federation in the family quarters. Judging from everyone's reactions, she has always done a good job and is not power-hungry at all. After Zhang Hongying arrived, she immediately wanted to hand over the Women's Federation to her.

She was afraid of trouble, and Zhang Hongying was even more afraid. They went back and forth several times, but Zhang Hongying simply refused to take over.

This is what led to the current situation. Ye Liping handles the ordinary trivial matters, but for important matters, she calls on Zhang Hongying to handle them together.

Leng Zhi rarely showed such obvious disgust for someone. "What is she causing trouble for now? One incident after another, isn't that enough to make her suffer? It's already too slow to arrest me now."

If it weren't for Lao Zheng's sake, he would have already taken action after finding out what she had done behind his back.

Many things have long been taken for granted and should be done as a matter of course.

How could he not stand up for his brother?
Zhang Hongying's face was also pale. "What else could she be doing? It's just the same old thing, threatening to bang her head against the wall and the corner of the table. And she really went all out. Two or three people almost couldn't hold her back. Yang Lanlan was terrified."

She probably didn't expect that Yang Limei was already a bit crazy and was really reckless.

Leng Zhi's face darkened even more. "Did you manage to dissuade them?"

If something really happens to Yang Limei, it will be a huge problem for Lao Zheng. He will be accused of driving his wife to her death, and his future will be completely ruined.

But we can't stay together forever because of this. Given Yang Limei's character, if Lao Zheng backs down again, who knows what she might do in the future.

Zhang Hongying looked troubled. "I managed to persuade her for now, or rather, I was intimidated by Liping. Liping knows a bit about the Yang family. She knows that people like Yang Limei value their maternal family very much, so she used the Yang family to scare Yang Limei. After that, Yang Limei stopped making such a fuss."

That's right. Although things have eased up a bit for now, it still leaves people feeling really uneasy.

The more I talked to Yang Limei, the more I felt that the sacrifices made by our predecessors for women's rights were not worth it.

Yang Limei gave her the feeling of a woman who voluntarily bound her feet under the indoctrination of ancient Confucian scholars.

“I never thought she had any major problems before. I always thought she was very proper and I enjoyed talking to her. But this afternoon, after only a few words with her, I had an urge to kill her.”

Leng Zhi couldn't help but chuckle. They didn't notice that there was also a suppressed laugh coming from Lin Yuexi's room.

“I actually know a bit about the Yang family, maybe even more than you do. Some of their family matters can be considered traditions passed down from their ancestors.”

"When there was an emperor, the Yang family would send their daughters into the palace to become empresses in order to solidify their position."

"In order to ensure that their daughters would be favored after entering the palace, they did not hire highly respected people to teach them, but instead went to those dirty places to hire people to teach the girls how to seduce men."

Even Leng Zhi, a rough and tough man, felt a little embarrassed to talk about this.

Fortunately, he only told his wife, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to bring himself to say it.

"They had to maintain their figures and also prevent the emperor from being wary of them. None of the girls from the Yang family who entered the palace were able to have children, but the Yang family was a family that could always find a place to stand no matter how the emperor changed."

The last imperial dynasty's emperors were all incompetent, and many families like the Yang family, who took shortcuts, were able to gain favor. However, now in the capital, besides the Yang family, only the Liu family has an improper background.

"It's just that the Yang family did help us a lot when we were in our most difficult time back then. Their achievements are obvious. They didn't make any major mistakes, so no one should do the kind of thing of discarding someone after they've served their purpose."

The Liu family was the same. Back then, many of their soldiers had starved to death, and it was the Liu family who provided enough rice and flour to last them for six months. Do they really think the commanders are unaware of what these families have done?

No.

Their elders made great contributions, so great that if it weren't for them back then, it's hard to say who would be the victor today.

The situation was already unstable. We wanted to stand firm and not be afraid of anyone, but our strength didn't allow it. Education wasn't widespread, and many people were still ignorant and easily swayed.

So for now, we just have to put up with it!
I don't like it.

What should I do?
Don't open your eyes, don't look for now.

It's not too late to deal with it once the situation stabilizes.

Zhang Hongying understood this principle, as did Lin Yuexi, who was eavesdropping inside the room.

As night fell, they all went to sleep with different thoughts on their minds.

The next day, Lin Yuexi got up early, which was unusual for her. After running around the mountain with her father, she took a shower, had breakfast, and then helped her mother steam buns and mantou.

Zhang Hongying had already kneaded the dough last night and left it to rest in the kitchen. After the mother and daughter prepared the filling, one of them was in charge of making the dough and the other was in charge of wrapping the dumplings.

Naturally, there's no shortage of people watching the drama unfold at these events.

Which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are arguing? Which husband is excessively withholding money from his wife's allowance? Which daughter-in-law is beating her mother-in-law? And so on and so forth.

"How many days are you planning to rest this time?" Zhang Hongying suddenly asked.

"It depends. If I want to rest for a longer period of time, that's not out of the question."

We'll have to wait and see the results of the tests after the YX series comes out. If it meets all expectations, its importance will be elevated, and its freedom will be even greater.

After all, besides being a researcher, she also has the status of an educated youth sent to the countryside. Being able to freely enter and leave the military region without having to work in the fields like other educated youths is already a privilege granted by the higher authorities.

Zhang Hongying was unaware of these things, but from her daughter's relaxed tone, she understood that it meant she could rest for a few more days, and she was so happy that she kneaded the dough faster.

The mother and daughter chatted idly as they quickly made a bunch of steamed buns and mantou.

I made a hundred steamed buns alone, and I didn't count them exactly, but there were probably close to two hundred steamed breads.

The three of them certainly couldn't finish all this food. But don't forget, there's Leng Xingran at the educated youth settlement not far away; Xu Zhichuan, Zhang Ze, and Ren Yan also need to be taken care of, and Liu Jie, who was implicated, can't be forgotten either.

Lin Yuexi's bodyguards can't possibly neglect them when there's good food around, can they?
Lin Yuexi has bodyguards around her, so surely Leng Zhi must have bodyguards around him too?

With these considerations on one hand and one side on the other, Zhang Hongying unknowingly became much more agreeable.
