The relationship between Zhang Lixia and Shi Fengxian was not much better. The main issue was that Shi Fengxian was far too fond of taking advantage of others. Deep down, Shi Fengxian was extremely resentful, but what could she do? In the past, she could swindle some game from that little animal Shi Yi to supplement her household, but now, he wouldn’t even let her see a single rabbit hair.
Every morning, she had to wake up and immediately face the need to light the stove and put food on the table. Forced to swallow her pride, she pulled a mournful face and said, "Sister-in-law, it’s only because we’ve run out of options that I’ve come to ask for your help. We are family, connected by blood; if you don't support our household, where are we to find a way to survive? Just lend us a few catties of rice to get through this crisis, what do you think?"
Zhang Lixia was not so easily duped. She unleashed a barrage of accusations against Shi Fengxian, scolding her soundly. Shi Fengxian nearly exploded several times, but for the sake of those few catties of rice that would keep her alive, she swallowed the humiliation.
