Parents are busy farming

When Zhang Wang heard these words, she felt very wronged. She went there to get information. If she hadn't found out clearly, how would she know that her family was about to be transformed!

She couldn't help but retort, "How am I lazy? I went to get some news. My son has done great things and will become a high-ranking official. Our family is prosperous. I will become an old lady. My son is really capable. He is nothing like you, who is just a peasant. And you don't even show any sympathy for me. You just know how to curse me."

After saying this, Zhang Wang looked at Old Man Zhang proudly.

When Old Man Zhang heard this, he became so angry that his face turned blue.

His eyes widened in anger, and he pointed at Zhang Wang and cursed, "Well, you lazy woman, you still dare to talk back to me? I will teach you a lesson today!"

As he said this, he raised his hand, ready to give Zhang Wangshi a hard slap in the face.

Just then, Zhang Qiuyue rushed out of the room and stopped her father.

She shouted anxiously, "Dad, don't hit Mom. She was just careless. Calm down and sit down and rest for a while."

She held her father's hand and looked at her mother anxiously.

Old man Zhang glared at Zhang Qiuyue, and the anger in his heart subsided a little, but he still glared at Zhang Wangshi fiercely, then turned and walked into the house.

He walked away, cursing, "It's all because of you, woman, that the house is in such a mess. Just wait for me."

After Old Man Zhang finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Qiuyue and said, "Qiuyue, go cook with your mother. Look at you, you are so old, but you still don't know how to work. You are lazy and gluttonous, just like your mother, and you are always submissive. How can you find a good family to marry in the future?"

Zhang Qiuyue felt very uncomfortable after hearing what her father said, but she still followed her mother to the kitchen obediently.

Old man Zhang was left alone in the room. Mrs. Zhang Wang was filled with grievance and fear. She knew her husband's temper, and if she accidentally said something wrong or did something wrong again, she would probably be beaten again.

She couldn't help but feel a little relieved that her husband didn't do anything to her today.

She sighed and thought that she should cook first, and then talk to her husband about going to Beijing after dinner.

However, while she was cooking, she couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "Cook, cook! I will be a noble in the future. My son has made great contributions in the frontier and will go to Beijing to receive rewards. In the future, I will have someone to serve me. I won't have to cook anymore. I will give birth to a son. He will be much better than those two old men in the Ma family!"

The more she thought about it, the more hope she felt, and her mood gradually improved.

Just then, Old Man Zhang returned to the house and prepared to wash his hands with a towel.

He heard the sound coming from the kitchen, his face suddenly darkened, and he shouted loudly: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and cook, or get out of the Zhang family."

Zhang Qiuyue quickly took the opportunity to walk out of the kitchen and said, "Dad, don't be angry. Mom is making something delicious. You can eat more to replenish your body."

Old man Zhang snorted, sat on the chair and sulked.

Zhang Qiuyue walked to the kitchen door again and said to Zhang Wangshi, "Mom, please come and cook. Dad is starving. Didn't Gao Wu bring back some dried fish last time? Let's make that tonight."

Zhang Wang was also tempted and nodded in agreement.

After a while, the food was served on the table.

Zhang Qiuyue picked up a piece of fish and put it in Old Man Zhang's bowl, smiling and saying, "Dad, try this fish, it's really delicious."

Although Old Man Zhang was still a little unhappy, when he saw there was food to eat, he quickly picked up the bowl and started eating.

Seeing that Old Man Zhang was not so angry anymore, Zhang Wangshi told him the news she had heard in the courtyard.

"Wait, what did you just say? Your son won the battle?" Old man Zhang widened his eyes, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Zhang Wang nodded. "Yes, I heard it from the caravan. All the people in our village who have sons in the military camp have gone there. I heard that it was our son who led the vanguard camp to destroy the enemy camp and performed a great deed."

When Old Man Zhang heard this, a smile immediately broke out on his face. "Great, you're worthy of being my son. You've really made it! Hahahaha..."

He laughed happily, and the gloom in his heart was swept away.

Zhang Qiuyue and Zhang Wang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now in the kitchen, Zhang Wangshi had told Zhang Qiuyue about her plan to go to Beijing and also talked about the benefits of going there.

Zhang Qiuyue was naturally excited when she heard that she would become a rich lady in the future. She wanted to speak for her mother and persuade her father to come to Beijing.

So Zhang Qiuyue took the opportunity to say, "Dad, since my brother has won the battle, can we go find him? I heard that the vanguard camp is going to the capital to receive rewards! Let's go to the capital too! Maybe we can enjoy a peaceful life with my brother."

Old man Zhang frowned when he heard this. "No, it's so chaotic outside now, with people fleeing famine everywhere. How can we run around at this time? Besides, our son is going to Beijing to receive a reward, and he might have to go to the border after everything is done! How are we going to live in Beijing? We can't do without people to work on our land. You should just stay at home."

Zhang Qiuyue was a little disappointed, but didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhang Wangshi was unwilling to give up. "But we can't just keep waiting like this, right? What if our son lives a good life in the capital and doesn't care about us anymore?"

Old man Zhang sighed, "You think about this now? How did you treat him before?"

Zhang Wang said firmly: "No, I will go to the capital no matter what. He is my son, don't think of getting rid of me in this life. I have to help him find a wife!"

Zhang Qiuyue couldn't help feeling a little sad as she listened to her parents' heated argument.

She secretly thought how nice it would be if she could live like a rich lady so that she could marry a man from a wealthy family instead of living a hard life like her second sister.

After Zhang Xiayue got married, she went to visit her, but found that Zhang Xiayue had already started working in the fields, which made her feel emotional.

Looking back, she had never had such an experience at home.

However, when Old Man Zhang heard his wife insist on going to the capital to find their son and mentioned trivial matters such as finding a wife for him, the anger that had just been extinguished was rekindled.

He angrily slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table, making a crisp sound.

Zhang Qiuyue, who was distracted, was so frightened that the chopsticks in her hand fell onto the table.

After taking a look at Zhang Qiuyue, Old Man Zhang loudly rebuked Zhang Wangshi: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know the current situation? If you go to the capital at this time, you will probably be eaten by those refugees on the way. You didn't listen to a word I said just now?"
