Zhou Jiahe was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling with a look of despair.

This room was not soundproof at all, and she could hear everything outside clearly.

The one who was cooking with such eagerness to smash the bottom of the pot was her cheap stepmother Lin Aifang, and it was obvious that she was cooking with anger.

Zhou Jiahe cooked all the meals before, and Lin Aifang was picky while eating, and she was doing it for her own good, saying that she wanted to practice her cooking skills so that she would not be criticized by her in-laws when she married into another family.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with her own daughter not doing anything.

I vaguely heard a neighbor greet Lin Aifang and asked why she was the one cooking. Lin Aifang sighed and said, "Jiahe is being rude to me. You said it's not easy to be a stepmother. I'm too busy every day and I don't know what the child is thinking."

Zhou Jiahe couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The system cautiously said, "Host, if you don't eat something, you will starve to death."

Zhou Jiahe didn't move.

The system waited for a while, but when there was no response, it silently retracted.

After a while, someone pushed the door, but it didn't move, so he knocked twice.

Zhou Jiahe lay on the bed, pretending not to hear anything. Except for blinking his eyes from time to time, he didn't move.

There was a voice outside. It was her elder sister Wu Xiuxiu, who was brought by her cheap stepmother. "Mom, Zhou Jiahe is not dead in the room, is she? Why is there no sound at all?"

"Don't talk nonsense, come over to eat quickly."

"But I want to get something. I have been wearing this dress for a few days. I need to change clothes." Wu Xiuxiu was so angry that she was about to die. She slept in the same room with Zhou Jiahe, and she usually treated her like a little girl. Who could have thought that she suddenly went crazy a few days ago, without saying a word, and directly locked the door, and she would not open the door no matter who knocked.

Lin Aifang comforted her daughter and came to knock on the door, but there was still no sound.

"Guohua, you should persuade Jiahe. How can she not eat or drink?"

"Why persuade her? I am her biological father. She doesn't even listen to me. Not eating will save food."

There were children making noises nearby. I knew they were the two sons born by the stepmother.

The children were naughty at that age. They didn't want to eat after two bites. They said that the food she cooked was not tasty and they wanted to eat what Zhou Jiahe cooked.

Not long after Lin Aifang married Wu Xiuxiu, Zhou Jiahe started cooking. Her good cooking skills were inseparable from her.

Hearing the children making noises, there was still no movement in the room. Lin Aifang was so angry that she threw down her chopsticks and yelled at the two children.

She said she was yelling at the children, but in fact, every word was said to Zhou Guohua.

After a lot of cursing, the house soon became quiet.

Zhou Guohua is an employee of the machinery factory and the logistics director, and Lin Aihua is an employee of the textile factory. Both of them have to go to work.

Wu Xiuxiu and her two children have gone to school.

Not only has the house become quiet, but the entire family compound has become much quieter.
