The two little girls who were spoiled and pampered could not imagine that there were mothers in the world who did not treat their own daughters as human beings. This caused a great shock to them.

They finally understood why their mother/aunt wanted to build a girls' academy and why she wanted to improve the status of women.

He Zhaodi thought that after she apologized, it was time to go home as she had to prepare dinner soon. If her grandparents didn't see dinner when they came back, she would be beaten again.

"Miss, it's getting late. My sister and I will go back first."

He Zhaodi had just pulled her sister up when Le Zhi's frown relaxed a little when she saw them. She said softly, "Wait a moment, have dinner here and then go back."

He Zhaodi waved her hands quickly, "No need, no need, Miss. My sister and I have to go back and cook. Grandpa, grandma and my brothers should be back soon."

Besides, they had already eaten the cakes and pastries given by the two young ladies today. This was probably the only time they would eat cakes and pastries in their lives. It was already enough trouble for them, so how could they have the nerve to eat dinner here again.

Nan Zhiyi thought they were afraid of being beaten after dinner because there was no one at home to cook, so she comforted them and said, "Don't worry! Since your mother asked you to apologize, you must not dare to offend us. When you go back, tell them that we punished you, so you came back late."

"No." He Zhaodi's voice rose a few notches with excitement. Then she reacted, lowered her eyes embarrassedly, and whispered: "You two ladies are so kind-hearted. How can I ruin your reputation?"

Lezhi and Nan Zhiyi thought she was so excited because she had to go back early to cook, but they didn't expect that she didn't want to say anything bad to them. The two looked at each other and felt even worse.

He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao are sensible, kind and hardworking, but they are treated like this by their relatives, which is really unfair to their kindness.

Lezhi thought of another idea, "Then you can say that we are very angry about your mother's behavior and you begged for our forgiveness for a long time."

"Okay, you guys stay for dinner and go back later."

Lezhi made the final decision without allowing the two girls to refute.

He Xiaocao looked at her sister, seeking her advice.

Seeing that the two young ladies were so sincere in wanting her to stay, He Zhaodi felt that she would be ungrateful if she refused. After all, they had their grandmother and mother at home, and they could cook for themselves.

It's so hard to find two young ladies to help me relax for a while, so why not seize this opportunity!

"Ladies, Zhaodi and Xiaocao are sorry to bother you tonight."

"You are too polite."

He couldn't wait for He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao to come back, so she walked back and forth in the yard anxiously, holding her aching stomach, and kept looking in the direction of the gate.

Until Old Man and Old Lady He, as well as He Dabao and He Erbao who went to school came back, they still didn't see the two of them.

Old Mrs. He had a face full of flesh. As soon as she entered the yard, she squinted her eyes and said, "Where are those two money-losing bastards He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao! Why didn't they make dinner? Did they go crazy somewhere again?"

"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat. I'm starving. Why don't you cook?" He Dabao said, grabbing Grandma He's hand.

Hearing that her grandson was hungry, Old Lady He's expression became even uglier. "These two little bitches, they just play all day long. I'll break their legs when I get back."

After Old Mrs. He finished scolding, she glared at He who was standing in the yard, revealing her ferocity.

"Why aren't you talking? Where are those two money-losing guys?"

He's body trembled. If you were to ask who she was most afraid of, it would be her mother-in-law.

When it comes to being a scoundrel, she is far inferior to her mother-in-law.

She glanced at Old Lady Chen, then quickly lowered her head and whispered, "Mom, they...they went to the Chen family's restaurant."

"What are they doing at the Chen family's restaurant?"

"In the afternoon, I saw those two money-losing bastards slacking off at work and wanted to teach them a lesson, but the two young ladies who lived in Chen's Restaurant sent someone to send those two money-losing bastards back to stop me from teaching them a lesson. At that time... at that time..."

He raised her head and secretly glanced at Old Lady He. She was so angry that she said in one breath, "I was angry at the time. I didn't know the identity of the maid and almost hit her. I was afraid that the nobles living in Chen's Restaurant would be angry, so I asked them to apologize on my behalf."

"Half an hour has passed now. I don't know why he hasn't come back yet."

"What?" Old Lady He's breathing stagnated, and she felt a pain in her chest from anger. "I say, you lazy woman, are you blind? The people living in the Chen family are nobles from the capital, and you are so blind as to want to hit their maid."

He shrank her neck and whispered in defense, "I didn't know her identity at the time. If I knew, I would definitely not dare to take action."

"What's the point of saying this now? We've already offended someone. Zhaodi and Xiaocao haven't come back yet, they must have been punished by the noble."

Old Mrs. He quickly analyzed the situation in her mind.

"Since they didn't send anyone to our house to ask for an explanation, it must be those two money-loser guys who are taking the punishment for you. They probably won't come to our house."

When Mrs. He heard what her mother-in-law said, she instantly felt relieved.

As she was stroking her chest, Old Lady He yelled angrily, "What are you standing there for? Go and cook, my dear grandchildren are hungry."

"Yes, mother."

He hurried to the kitchen to cook.

Old Lady He was still cursing behind her, "If it weren't for you, an idiot, we would all have food to eat now. I don't know how the nobles will punish those two money-losing idiots, and whether they will be able to work for the family in the future."

Those two people can serve as a strong labor force.

He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao didn't know what was happening at home. At this moment, they were looking at the table full of food and swallowing their saliva frantically.

Growing up, they had been eating porridge with only a few grains of brown rice and wild vegetables. Even when there was meat at home during festivals, they could only chew the bones after they had eaten it.

If there is meat without bones, they will not get any share at all and can only satisfy their cravings by smelling the aroma of the meat.

"Zhaodi and Xiaocao, stop looking and eat quickly." The maidservant beside them put a piece of braised pork in the bowls of Zhaodi and Xiaocao.

"Eat quickly!"

"Thank you sister."

He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao picked up the chopsticks, dipped them into the bowl of white rice, picked up a handful of rice and put it into their mouths.

It turns out that rice is so delicious, soft and sticky, and doesn’t make your throat ache.

Originally, Le Zhi and Nan Zhiyi wanted He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao to have dinner with them, but they were too nervous and so they sat at the same table with the maids.

The maid felt sorry for the two little girls and saw that they were only eating vegetables, so she helped them pick up some meat from time to time.

After the meal, He Zhaodi and He Xiaocao felt that they had eaten the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives, and they would have no regrets even if they died now.
