Chapter 42 Difficulties are Increasing_1

In the days of the autumn harvest, the evening meals were too good, and the weight of the Zhou family members soared, even the eldest and second sons who worked in the fields put on fat, but the most noticeable was Lady Li. She, already a food lover, didn't skimp on trapping wild chickens during the harvest. Zhulan was generous, and Lady Li really outdid herself, with the result that she became even plumper. Her facial features, which were not very distinct to begin with, resembled a pancake with her newfound roundness.

Zhulan usually didn't look at Lady Li's face, especially when she smiled with her eyes squinted, which was just too comical. Lady Li, on the other hand, didn't see it that way. She was proud of her cheeks and always boasted about her "blessed" visage.

The autumn harvest ended quickly. Bags of rice grain were neatly stacked, waiting for the village harvest to conclude so they could be collected as tax.
