"Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you now!" Liu Xiaolan's expression changed slightly, and said: "Speak, what do you want to ask? We have always been good friends, and if it wasn't for your mother and father being so dishonest, I would have helped you out."
Liu Zhuer smiled and replied: "I knew that my aunt was the best. Sigh, my mother says whatever it is she wants, and if you want to talk about my aunt's dowry that time, you can't blame me for it. Little aunt, think about it, you already knew the whole story, but you still didn't tell my mother and me.
"What can I do for you? Zhu Er, we are the best of friends and your mother and father never asked me before, how would I know what she is thinking? " Liu Xiaolan was also unhappy.
If it wasn't for Liu Sun intervening horizontally, not only would she not be short of money, she had even put in an extra five taels of silver. Even though she had caused a ruckus, in the end Liu Qi only agreed to buy her a pair of silver bracelets. Most of the silver bracelets worn by the ladies were exquisite but not heavy, how could they compare to five taels of silver?
Regarding this matter, Liu Xiaolan really hated the Liu Sun.
Liu Zhuer was a man who could move her eyebrows with the blink of an eye, she immediately laughed: "Alright, sister-in-law, I won't believe that I am unable to help you out. Furthermore, after we obtained the silver coins, my mother immediately went to the Silver Restaurant to buy a hairpin that is very popular right now."
At this point, her eyes fell on the chaste again.
Liu Xiaolan could only ask: "Then what do you want to know?"
Seeing that her tone was much softer, Liu Zhuer did not beat around the bush. He pointed to the vegetable patch that Zhang Guihua was digging and asked, "Aunt, I saw that Third Aunt is already digging. Why is it that in the past few days, she has only taken care of half of it?
Liu Xiaolan glanced at the direction of the garden, and replied indifferently: "My mother said, in the future, I will only grow half of the garden."
"Why, what about the rest?" Liu Zhuer's heart sank, why not? This woman could not be spoiled!
Liu Xiaolan could not help but roll her eyes, "The main reason is that Zhang Guihua is not willing to buy more, what's left? Mother didn't tell me what to do, but I told his to plant a few jujube trees, and two peach trees and a pear tree.
Hearing that, Liu Zhuer became even more unhappy, but she could not help but look down on Liu Xiaolan for not having seen, how could the fruits her own family grew compare to the fruits she bought outside.
"Zhang Guihua is not willing to plant it, why?"
Liu Xiaolan said impatiently: "What else can I do? I say, Zhu Er, Second Brother has always been working in the restaurant and is also a shopkeeper, your family has never lacked this kind of dish. Every time you come back for the new year, your family will always bring bags of food from the ox-cart before leaving.
How could Liu Zhuer dare to say that every time she brought back some dried food or dried fish, she would sell them to the restaurant. Furthermore, Zhang Guihua's cooking skills were not bad, the chefs liked it a lot, but in order to prevent the old house from discovering this, Liu Rengui always insisted that his family members did not have much time, and had to wait on them.
Now, Zhang Guihua no longer grew vegetables, but what about chickens and ducks?
Then, she asked Liu Xiaolan, "Why do you not raise chickens and ducks? "Ever since I was born, my aunt has been weak. I've always wanted to recuperate a bit more, so that I could frequently slaughter them to nourish my aunt's body."
Liu Xiaolan liked listening to these words, so she smiled and said: "It's still better if we brought a few more, this chicken, sigh, aren't we busy with guests at home, the old hen s at home are almost all killed, my mother said that this year she wants to raise more chickens and ducks."
She did not know that Liu Qi wanted to raise more chickens and ducks because she no longer wanted to provide with food.
Hearing that, Liu Zhuer felt more at ease, if she did not cook, she would not cook, at least she could still get some chickens.
As far as I know, Liu Xiaolan said: "However, chickens don't raise too many, after all, my family will have to add a few piglets next year. Zhu'er, I will tell you in secret, my mother doesn't like your mother much, hmph, they are sizing me up for my age, I don't get it."
"What do you mean?" Liu Zhuer looked nervous. No wonder Liu Qi disliked own mother a lot these days.
Liu Xiaolan then told her about Zhang Guihua's previous incident where she was about to leave the hall, and then continued, "Sigh, if you didn't mention this, I would have forgotten, at that time, she was extremely fierce, with those eyes, as though she wanted to eat someone, it was enough to scare me."
"What? Not only does their family not grow those vegetable fields, they even get five hundred gold for nothing?" Liu Zhuer had to inform her own mother and father about this matter.
"Not only that, my dad also said that he wouldn't let Zhang Guihua do so many things in the future. She still wants the baby and her body, so she can only work hard for your mother." Liu Xiaolan had always kept the matter of Zhang Guihua's family getting five hundred gold coins in mind.
She didn't want Mrs. Liu Qi to make up for Zhang Guihua's family. She just liked the people in this house living a life of misery and laughter. Looking at those girls, she was full of envy.
"Also, Zhang Guihua told my parents at that time that she will not grow any vegetables from now on, nor will she help you raise chickens. She said that she will not help your family free of charge if you want to plant any."
"What?" Liu Zhuer's sharp voice came out from the courtyard, scaring the sparrows on the trees so much that they flew into the air panic-stricken.
Zhang Guihua's thoughts had seriously harmed her family's interests, how could she accept this?
"She dares? Did this slut really think she was a daughter of heaven? She's just a daughter of a poor family. If it wasn't for our kind heart, would we have asked Third Uncle to take her away when we saw her in such a pitiful state? Pui! "Whatever it is, just take a piss and look at yourself."
Therefore, cursing could be passed down from generation to generation.
Although Liu Zhuer usually wore a gentle and demure expression, she actually still inherited Liu Qi's characteristics from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing Liu Zhuer's scolding, Liu Xiaolan felt a wave of comfort in her heart, and then she echoed, "That's right, that's right. This damned piggy of a woman has always been bewitching, and she has even angered my mother quite a bit."
"Aunty, you're right. She's a pig's wife, and that's the kind of woman who won't move even if she sees a male pig." The words that popped out of Liu Zhuer's cherry red mouth were extremely vicious. A little girl who hadn't left her pavilion yet couldn't help but to say these words in a flustered manner.
After she said that, she noticed Liu Xiaolan's strange expression, and laughed: "Little aunt, what happened!"
Liu Xiaolan's jade-like finger pinched the kernels lightly, then she pointed behind her and called out softly, "Third Sister-in-Law."
"What?" "Three, three..." Liu Zhuer's heart jumped, she was a junior after all, so if Zhang Gui Hua decided to cause trouble, she would probably be knelt down by the clan elders in the ancestral hall.
If this news were to spread, there would definitely be a huge problem with his marriage.
At this moment, she trembled as she slowly turned around.
Zhang Guihua stared at her with a gloomy expression. Her gaze was extremely cold, like a mad dog that had been starving for a long time. She did not dare to open her mouth, afraid that the other would pounce on her and bite her.
Liu Zhuer braced herself and endured the fierce stare. As Zhang Guihua walked closer and closer, he became more and more afraid!
Finally, a ray of light appeared in Liu Zhuer's vision, but the light was getting closer and closer. Following that, a faint, strange smell floated over with the wind, and she felt like she was a person drowning in water.
From a distance, it seemed as if she was afraid of Zhang Guihua, but also as if she was scared senseless by Zhang Guihua.
Liu Sun was cleaning the pigsty at the back of the house. Originally, Liu Qiuxiang was the one who was doing this, but Liu Sangui told him in the afternoon that Liu Dafu had been following him around to get some water. His knees was hurting from the pain, so he told Liu Qiuxiang to go outside to grab some plantain to fry some water.
Plantago sativa is a kind of roadside plant which can be found everywhere. It is useful for treating gouty arthritis.
Liu Dafu had been working in the water for a long time, and he was getting older and older, so his knees hurt for a year.
Hearing that, Liu Qi naturally had no objections, and thus, the matter of cleaning the pigsty fell upon the Liu Sun.
Hearing Liu Qiuxiang's words, Liu Dao Xiang could not help but spit, and scolded softly: "Serves her right, she thought that this pig would grow fat just because of the strong wind."
"Of course, I saw that Second Uncle's wife's family was a pig slaughterer, how can they not know about this?" Liu Qiuxiang was also deeply suspicious.
Liu Dao Xiang replied disdainfully: "She is good to be bullied, and good to be ridden by others. Sis, if Second Aunt is a good person, then we will not hold grudges, but what virtue does she have, in any case I have never seen her speak the truth."
"Hey, second sister, you're making too much sense."
Of course, Liu Qiuxiang thought so too. Look, ever since her mother had domineeringly said that if anyone wanted to get on her bad side, she would put in some mouse medicine. Thus, the house became quiet.
Liu Qi and Liu Xiaolan no longer bothered her.
When Liu Dao Xiang heard this, he beamed. His sister had finally shaken off her Amitabha label.
"Sis, what happened next? Second Aunt is not a good person to talk to, she will definitely cause trouble."
Liu Qiuxiang wanted to kneel again, this time, it was really too godly, her sister!
"If what you said was right, with Big Sister Pearl's attitude, second aunt won't think that she was bullied, right?"
Liu Dao Xiang was calm at this moment because she believed that Zhang Guihua who was used to working hard would not suffer a loss. After more than a month of washing up and getting healthier, Zhang Guihua had already realized that other than their house, there was nothing good in the Liu family.
Liu Qiuxiang couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction when she thought of the miserable state the Liu Sun was in at that time.
It turned out that when Liu Sun saw Liu Zhuer's current state, she had been holding back her anger. When she recalled the stench of the pig's feces that filled the sky, she wanted to vomit once again.
Seeing the scene in front of her, she was still worried that Zhang Guihua would not have anything to do with her. Without asking any questions, she immediately rushed up and started cursing as she ran, "Fine Zhang Guihua, you really have a bad conscience. You motherf * cking competition, you actually shamelessly bully a junior."
Zhang Gui Hua was initially furious, but when she heard Liu Sun's curses, her eyes darkened and gritted her teeth. She turned her head around with a ferocious expression.
"Are you blind? How could you have known that I bullied her? Did I hit her or scolded her? Let me see!"
She did not waver in her sarcasm.
