Today, it was Li Chunhua's turn to gather firewood, and she carried back a large bundle from the mountain.
Old Lady Li, however, looked at her with disdain: "You were out so long, and yet you gathered so little?! You eat a lot but contribute nothing. You're just wasting food, good for nothing!"
Li Chunhua, with tears in her eyes, quietly explained: "There were a lot of people gathering firewood where I went today, I couldn't collect as much."
She hadn't had enough to eat all day, she was devoid of any strength, there was no way she could gather as quickly as others.
"You still dare to talk back?! Think you've had a comfortable time at the Chen Family, and forgotten how useless you are?"
Seeing that she dared to argue, Old Lady Li angrily grabbed a piece of firewood as thick as an arm and forcefully laid it on Chunhua's back, ranting: "Don't think about freeloading here, you can eat only if you work, otherwise, be prepared to starve!"
