Chapter 54: Division of the Family_2

From that day on, Lady He claimed to be pregnant and unsteady, unwilling to do any work and staying at home all the time. She too wanted to have her own separate kitchen, but with no rice or flour, she made Liulang and Xiao Qi steal chicken eggs. Liulang was older than Xiao Qi but not as clever; whenever he tried to snatch the eggs from Xiao Qi, Lian Manman would be standing by with a kitchen knife, watching him. The children from the Second Household were already afraid of Lian Xiuxiu, who had been beaten so badly that she couldn't get up for days, and they all knew it was the work of Lian Manman and the others. Therefore, even though Liulang was older than Lian Manman, he became timid and resentful when he saw her angry, not daring to provoke her anymore.
