Tao'er and her older brother went to the kitchen, where there were two bowls of wild vegetable porridge and four cornbreads warming on the stove. This was already considered very good.

It was probably specially reserved by her second aunt. Tao'er was worried that her older brother wouldn't have enough to eat, so she poured half of her bowl of porridge into his bowl.

I also gave one cornbread to my older brother.

Liu Tiezhu looked at the extra cornbread in the bowl and asked, "Little sister, what are you doing giving it to me?"

These two are enough for me.

Here's another bowl of porridge for you; I'll eat yours.

You're so thin, you should eat more to nourish yourself.

After Liu Tiezhu finished speaking, he returned the cornbread to his sister and asked her to exchange it for the half-bowl of wild vegetable porridge that was left.

Tao'er raised her hand to stop her, then picked up the half-bowl of wild vegetable porridge, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Big brother, I can't finish this much. I usually eat this much, I'm used to it."

Eat more. You men do heavy physical labor, so you need to eat more.

Besides, at my age, I'm afraid of gaining weight. If I get fat, I won't look good, so I have to maintain my figure and can't eat too much.

"Nonsense, it's not good for girls to be too thin, otherwise they won't have the strength to give birth."

You eat so little, it's like a kitten eating its food, how can you possibly be full?

"So, since you don't like the wild vegetable porridge, I'll drink more, but you have to eat three cornbreads."

Liu Tiezhu said earnestly, and handed Tao'er the cornbread that Tao'er had given him, along with his own cornbread.

Tao'er, munching on a cornbread, waved her hand and said, "Big brother, I really don't want it. I'm already full."

"If you don't eat it, that girl will get angry."

Peach puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be angry.

"Alright, alright, big brother, you can eat now!"

Little sister, don't be angry!

Liu Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Brother, go work in the fields later, and come home early at noon."

Also, when you're working, follow your third uncle; when he's working, you work too.

"If he's resting, you should rest too. Don't be as obedient as before."

Tao whispered to her older brother.

"Isn't that a bad idea?"

Grandpa will probably whip me.

Liu Tiezhu said in a low voice.

"Grandpa wouldn't dare. If he were to hit you, he would hit Third Uncle instead."

Anyway, if your family has any objections, just push your third uncle out.

Grandpa loves Uncle San, he won't hit him.

Tao'er revealed a sly smile.

"Okay, I understand, I'll work with Uncle San."

Liu Tiezhu nodded. Although doing so might get him beaten, he wasn't afraid of being beaten alone.

After finishing his meal, Liu Tiezhu quickly ate what he had to say, then picked up his hoe and went to work in the fields.

Tao'er returned to the house, where her parents, two children, and Qingge were all present.

As soon as she walked in, the two children ran over and hugged her legs.

"Sister Tao'er..."

"Sister Tao'er..."

Tao'er bent down and picked up Huanhuan. "Huanhuan, have you had breakfast?"

Huanhuan nodded obediently, "Sister Tao'er, I've eaten, I'm full."

She patted her round little belly.

Tao'er said, "Tao'er is so good," and then put Tao'er down.

Then she saw the envious look in her grandfather's eyes, so she picked up Ayan again, gently patted his head and said, "Ayan, what about you?"

Did you eat a full breakfast?

Ayan nodded and said, "Sister Tao'er, I'm full too."

Have you got a meal yet?"

Tao'er put Ayan down, thinking that the child seemed to have gained weight, as he felt quite heavy after she held him for a while.

"My sister has already eaten."

Ah Yan, take Huanhuan to play in the yard for a while. I need to talk to your grandparents.

Remember, don't go outside to play; stay in the yard.

Children shouldn't be kept indoors all day long; a more spacious yard makes it easier to be polite.

"Okay, I'll take my little sister to play in the yard for a while, and I promise I won't run out."

Ayan nodded obediently.

"Ayan, you're so good!"

Here, take this candy. You and Huanhuan each get one.

Tao'er took out two White Rabbit milk candies and put them in Ai Yan's hand.

"Wow, we get candy! Thank you, Sister Peach!"

No child dislikes sweets.

Huanhuan echoed in her childish voice, "Thank you, Sister Tao'er... Sister."

"You're welcome, everyone go out and have some fun!"

Tao'er said with a smile.

Ayan happily took Huanhuan's little hand and went outside.

After the two children left, Tao'er sat down by her mother's bedside and asked with concern, "Mother, are you feeling any better today?"

Zhang Su'e replied with a smile, "I feel much better. I can hardly feel any pain now, and most of the bruises on my feet have faded."

"It's good that the pain has subsided. You should continue applying the ointment and taking the medicine."

Tao'er added spiritual spring water and tonics from her own medicinal field to the medicine prescribed by the old doctor. Eating it would not only help her recover her health, but also strengthen her body and boost her immunity.

"Okay, I'll listen to my daughter."

Zhang Su'e nodded with a smile, her complexion noticeably better than yesterday.

"Peach girl, do you only care about your mother and not your father anymore?"

When Liu Daniu saw his daughter come in, he first showed concern for the two little children, and then for his wife, but didn't ask about him.

"Father, how could I forget you!"

That's exactly what I wanted to ask you.

Is your knee still swollen?

Does the wound on your back still hurt?

Tao'er chuckled.

"My feet aren't swollen anymore, but I still feel a bit unsteady when I walk, and I can't seem to muster any strength."

The wound on my back doesn't hurt as much anymore.

"I never expected this old doctor's medical skills to be so good; he's never healed so quickly before!"

Liu Daniu smiled with satisfaction; his daughter had finally asked him a question.

Tao'er chuckled inwardly. It wasn't that the old doctor was skilled; it was clearly because she had added the spiritual spring water. Of course, she couldn't tell them that.

"At your age, you're still getting jealous! Your daughter will be asking all sorts of questions, and look how anxious you are!"

Zhang Su'e gently patted her husband beside her.

"hey-hey!

Su'e, all I wanted was for my daughter to talk to me too!

Why did you have to call me out on that?!

Liu Daniu scratched the back of his head, revealing a simple and honest smile.

Tao'er and Qingge couldn't help but laugh.

"Father and Mother, even though your injuries have healed, you must not show it."

They kept pretending it wasn't working properly, and even made it seem serious.

At least until they moved out of the Liu family's house, they had to stay inside and couldn't go anywhere.

Tao'er was afraid that her cheap father would be unable to resist going back to work in the fields.

"Peach girl, I know. I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you tell me to do."

Zhang Su'e now harbors deep hatred for the Liu family, especially her mother-in-law, Wang.

If it weren't for Liu Daniu's sake, she would have fought that old woman to the death.

That heartless Wang actually tricked her daughter into selling herself.

"Dad will listen to his daughter, he will listen to his daughter."

Liu Daniu quickly chimed in, otherwise his wife might pinch off a piece of flesh from his waist.

"Okay, Mom and Dad, your daughter has found a place to live. At the latest, our family will move out the day after tomorrow."

Tao'er said to her parents with a smile.

"So fast?"

So you found a house?

Liu Daniu and his wife asked almost simultaneously.

Just as Tao'er was about to tell her parents, Huanhuan's crying sounded outside.

Qingge left the room instantly without waiting for instructions, and Tao'er followed closely behind.

As he left, he said, "Father, Mother, I'm going out to take a look. Don't come out."
