Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 229 Do you want to scald me to death?

Zhang Junniang looked panicked; she hadn't expected Li Ruru to so bluntly reveal her true feelings.

It happened in front of Peipei and Hai.

Isn't she afraid that Heidegger will say she's vicious, or that she'll scare the children?
Li Ruru was really not afraid. Peipei was not only not scared, but also couldn't hide her excitement.

Ever since her mother was bullied, she had been waiting for this day, and now the opportunity for revenge had finally arrived.

Hai brought over two buckets of water and a large basin.

Zhang Junniang's mind was filled with memories of the many things she had done to humiliate Li Ruru.

She didn't know how Li Ruru was going to take revenge on her, or what it had to do with the two buckets of water and the large basin.

My heart was pounding, and my eyes showed a hint of fear: "What do you want to do? Don't think that just because you have a workshop and the village head is backing you up, I'll be afraid of you."

She uttered threatening words, but her voice began to tremble. Was Li Ruru planning to drown her in a basin of water?!

Is she really that vicious?

Li Ruru ignored her, walked over and sat on the soft wooden chair, and beckoned to Zhang Junniang, saying, "Come here and wash my feet."

Zhang Junniang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words "washing feet." Thankfully, it was just washing her feet; they weren't going to kill her.

However, she only washed her own parents' feet and never washed anyone else's.

"Keep dreaming, I'd rather die than wash it for you."

Zhang Junniang boldly refused.

Li Ruru wasn't angry when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Then I'll find someone else."

Before Zhang Junniang could even feel happy, the door was pushed open and Ma Gan and Ma Yong were brought in.

Hai chuckled and said, "Do you want to make money? One tael of silver for a foot bath."

Ma Gan and Ma Yong nodded eagerly, "Okay."

One tael of silver can buy a whole basket of meat buns.

In an era of food and clothing scarcity, meat buns were the dream food of every child.

"No!" Zhang Junniang rushed over like a madwoman and covered their mouths.

She pushed the two of them out, saying, "Go back to school. This is not a place for you."

The door closed, and after composing herself, she said to Li Ruru, "I do."

Li Ruru raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you willing to do?"

“I’m willing… to wash your feet.” Zhang Junniang said through gritted teeth. She squatted down, mixed the two buckets of water together, and put Li Ruru’s feet into the basin.

Li Ruru had an undisguised smile on her lips; it felt so good to slap someone in the face.

It turns out that Zhang Junniang also had a weakness; how could she have forgotten that she had two sons?

Zhang Junniang threatened her many times with Li Ruru's third daughter. At the time, she only wanted to protect her child and blindly obeyed without ever thinking of resisting.

Now, she must fight fire with fire.

"Ouch, it's so hot! Are you trying to burn me to death?" Li Ruru suddenly cried out, pulled her foot out, and slapped Zhang Junniang.

A vicious slap, accompanied by splashes of water, struck Zhang Junniang's face, quickly turning her dark face red and swollen.

He asked anxiously, "Aru, are you alright?"

He then slapped Zhang Junniang again, saying, "Useless thing."

Wang Shuixia was stunned. Hai kicked her and said, "Hurry up and clean the floor. Look how dirty it is here."

"Okay, okay, alright." Wang Shuixia hurriedly grabbed a broom and rag and started cleaning quickly.

Watching her busy figure, Li Ruru recalled past scenes.

She used to clean the Chen family's house, and she was forced by Wang Shuixia to kneel on the ground and wipe it clean bit by bit.

Wang Shuixia, hands on her hips, scolded, "Do you even know how to mop the floor? Kneel down! You can only clean it properly if you kneel on the ground."

The floor of the Chen family's house is dirt, and it can't be cleaned at all.

Li Ruru, the original owner of this body, cleaned up this place for more than ten years.

At that moment, she squinted at Wang Shuixia and said, "Kneel down, only by kneeling can you clean it properly, right?"

Wang Shuixia stared blankly at her. The words sounded so familiar, as if she had heard them somewhere before.

Wait a minute, isn't this what she said to Li Ruru before? Is Li Ruru clearly trying to get revenge on her today?
Looking at Li Ruru's smiling face, Wang Shuixia felt a chill run down her spine.

Before Li Ruru could speak again, she obediently knelt down.

Fine, I'll just mop the floor then, I'll even mop it on my knees.

Zhang Junniang finally adjusted the water temperature. She gave a stiff smile and said, "Okay, try it again."

Li Ruru placed her delicate feet into the water and gave Zhang Junniang a bright smile.

Zhang Junniang breathed a sigh of relief, but just as she was about to relax, she was kicked in the face.

Li Ruru kicked her in the face and said angrily, "The water is so cold, are you trying to freeze me to death?"

Zhang Junniang thought to herself, "It's June! How could you possibly freeze to death?"

But she didn't dare say anything, so she could only readjust the water temperature.

That's how she used to treat Li Ruru's original self: a little humiliation every day, and a big humiliation every three days.

She feels uncomfortable if she doesn't pick a fight with Li Ruru.

She enjoyed this comfortable life for several years.

Li Ruru imitated her mother's demanding manner, complaining that it was too hot or too cold, keeping Zhang Junniang busy, but still couldn't satisfy her.

Finally, Li Ruru poured a basin of foot-washing water over her, clapped her hands, and said, "That's enough for today."

He then pointed to Wang Shuixia and said, "You, clean this place up."

As the group left, Wang Shuixia cleaned up while complaining that Zhang Junniang had made the floor too dirty.

As they were talking, the two started fighting. In the end, Peipei took out her notebook and wrote down the things they broke.

Well, just like Zhao Shi, Wang Shuixia and Zhang Junniang had no money to compensate for the broken items, so they could only voluntarily work for the workshop for six months.

After teaching the three Zhaos a lesson, Li Ruru was in a great mood and cooked a table full of dishes for lunch.

"Wow, so much meat today!" Chu Xiu said, reaching out to grab some.

Nie Tianlei grabbed his arm and led him to the water's edge, insisting that he wash his hands before eating.

The others washed their hands and sat in rows around the large table.

Li Ruru introduced, "This is sweet and sour pork, this is braised pork slices, sauerkraut stewed ribs, stir-fried tofu with green peppers, and also chicken stew with mushrooms and braised pork ribs."

Finally, she pointed to the cabbage in her hand and said, "I'm going to make a big rice roll now."

Rice mixed with egg sauce, yellow rice, scallions, and other ingredients is rolled up in cabbage and made into a large package.

She handed the large bag in her hand to Chu Xiu and said, "Xiu'er, you try it first."

Chu Xiu has been busy with road repairs these past few days, and he's been going hungry for days on end, which is quite pitiful.

Chu Xiu took the rice bag, took a bite, and the various aromas mixed together in his mouth, creating a delicious taste.

"This stuff is good. It's nice to take a couple with you when you're out and about to satisfy your cravings and keep you full."

"Take two with you when you go out later," Li Ruru said with a loving expression.

Today's dishes were all Northeastern Chinese cuisine, served on huge plates, and everyone ate their fill.

Meanwhile, He Dajiao and He Xiaotou's family were also having dinner.

He Xiaotou looked outside the door and said, "Dad, why hasn't the village road been repaired to our doorstep yet?"

He Dajiao took a sip of the wild vegetable porridge and said, "It'll be ready soon."

Even if Li Ruru dislikes him, she still has to fix the road in front of his house, otherwise the road won't be complete.

He Xiaotou blinked and said, "But Dad, I saw that other people's doors have already been repaired. They all have blue brick roads, and they look so nice."

He Dajiao muttered, "That's impossible."

Li Ruru couldn't do that, and she wouldn't dare to.

"Dad, look." He Xiaotou pulled his father outside the door, and sure enough, the roads in front of other people's houses had been repaired, and they were wide and bright.

The only remaining road in front of his house was a dirt road, full of potholes that almost caused him to slip and fall.

He Dajiao was furious. "Damn bitch, I'm going to reason with her."
