Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Chapter 280 I Want to Eat Your Mother Too

Afterwards, Xiuying instructed the servants: "Send Master Ma out and take good care of him."

The servant quickly replied, "Yes, ma'am," and sent Ma Ergun out.

Li Dongmei had been paying attention to Xiuying's expression. Knowing that Xiuying was in a good mood today, she walked in with a smile on her face and said, "Madam, dinner is ready."

Xiuying nodded and said, "Let's go."

When they arrived in the yard, they saw six large round tables neatly arranged in a row. Each table was filled with a sumptuous meal, including two vegetarian dishes, one meat dish, and a soup dish. White rice was also available as an option.

The servants smiled and chatted, "Our boss is a good person to talk to. He's never harsh on us. He even promised to build us row houses once the village wall is built!"

"The young ladies take turns bringing their wives to deliver lunch to the men who are repairing the wall. Today it's the turn of the fourth young lady, La Mei."

"The fourth young lady is so kind. She always prepares a rich meal for the guests. Those men are in for a treat!"

Ever since Master Chen sent these servants, the daughters of Xiuying's family seldom went out and stayed at home most of the time. The villagers just thought that Xiuying was living a good life now, so the maids naturally lived a life of luxury, with food and clothes provided for them.

In fact, these days, the girls have been diligently practicing self-defense skills such as bows and crossbows and daggers. They know that in this uncertain world, more skills mean more protection.

Lamei methodically directed several women to prepare the food and put the steaming hot food into bamboo baskets one by one. Several women nimbly carried the bamboo baskets filled with food and followed Lamei out the door.

Women from every household also hurriedly brought carefully prepared meals to their husbands. The village was filled with the aroma of food, and the women's faces were filled with concern.

"Mom, why is it so thin?" Dafu looked at the thin porridge in the bowl, his face full of reluctance, and complained with a frown.

"Yes, mother, my third brother and I do physical work!" Dagui next to him also echoed, with dissatisfaction in his voice.

After hearing her sons' complaints, Tian Guilan flew into a rage and shouted, "Your eldest and second brothers are still lying in bed. We only have so much food at home. We're lucky to have something to eat!"

The rich and the noble looked eagerly at Butcher Li, who was happily eating white and moist rice with several pieces of juicy meat in his bowl. They couldn't help swallowing, their eyes filled with desire and envy.

"Brother, I want to eat meat too." Dagui muttered softly, his voice full of grievance.

Dafu sighed helplessly and said, "I want to, but the food at home is getting worse day by day."

Dafu's eyes dimmed, and he was filled with sorrow when he thought of the deteriorating life at home.

Just when the two were filled with envy, they suddenly heard a cry of surprise.

"Is that Lamei, the fourth daughter of Xiuying's family? I haven't seen her for a while. The little girl has become more and more beautiful."

"That's right, just like the ladies in the city." Another person echoed, his tone full of envy.

Everyone stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the wintersweet, with admiration glittering in their eyes. Xiuying raised her daughter so well.

Dafu Dagui couldn't help but turn his head, and saw Lamei wearing a light blue dress, with a graceful figure and a pretty face, and she exuded a unique temperament in her every move.

Lamei led the servants to the man who had come out to repair the wall in a dignified manner. With a kind smile on her face, she said, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's eat."

The sound of wintersweet is crisp and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, which makes people feel happy when listening to it.

The women opened the bamboo baskets swiftly and carefully took out three large bowls of white rice. The rice grains were plump and exuded an enticing aroma.

Seeing this, Tian Guilan twisted her body and walked over, curled her lips, and said sarcastically: "What do I think I'm eating? It's just white rice. You act like you've never seen it before."

The men looked respectful and said in unison, "Thank you, Fourth Miss." Then they carefully took the white rice, their eyes full of gratitude.

Tian Guilan looked at the fourth child's appearance and laughed unbridled, mocking her, "She's just a country girl, and she's called a lady."

However, before Tian Guilan's smile disappeared, she saw the servants bringing out several large bowls of meat in an orderly manner. The meat had an attractive color and a fragrant aroma.

Then several plates of exquisite side dishes were brought out, each plate was neatly arranged.

Finally, a pot of steaming chicken soup was brought out from a bamboo basket. There was a layer of golden oil floating on the chicken soup, which made people salivate.

Tian Guilan's smile froze on her face in an instant, her eyes staring at the sumptuous food, her mouth slightly open, her face full of disbelief.

Dafu Dagui stared at the table full of delicious food with his eyes wide open and his mouth watering.

Dafu tugged at Tian Guilan's clothes and said pitifully, "Mom, I want to eat meat."

Dagui also started to yell, "Mom, I want to eat too."

Tian Guilan looked at her two sons' greedy expressions and felt angry and helpless. She said unhappily, "Your mother wants to eat too."

The men looked at the sumptuous meal in front of them, their eyes wide open and their faces filled with disbelief.

One of the men stammered, "Fourth Miss, this is too..."

Lamei smiled and said, "Mother said that everyone works hard physically and must eat well. Come and eat quickly." As she spoke, she gestured to the women to distribute the food to the men.

"Wait a minute!" Tian Guilan ran over aggressively.

She started cursing at Lamei: "You've had a good life for a few days, and you don't even know your last name! I'm your aunt! Even though we're no longer related, we're still family! You actually gave all this delicious food to the servants, and didn't even think of using it to honor me, your aunt!"

The two women quickly stood in front of La Mei and shouted, "This is our young lady. Don't be rude! Otherwise, we will be rude!"

The women glared at him, their voices strong and full of warnings.

Tian Guilan was not afraid after hearing this. Instead, she laughed unbridled and rolled her eyes sarcastically, saying, "I'm Xiuying's sister-in-law. You're just servants living under someone else's roof. How dare you talk to me like that? Believe it or not, I'll have Xiuying kick you all out!"

When the women heard Tian Guilan say that she wanted Xiuying to kick them out, they panicked.

Tian Guilan was so pleased with herself when she saw this that she reached out to take the chicken soup. The chicken soup was steaming hot, with a layer of golden oil floating on the surface and a rich aroma wafting out, which made people salivate at the sight.
