Chapter 72 Storm (Part 3)

Xia Daohua whispered to Lihua, Wulang and the others, and Cheng, who was very close to Xia Daohua, also heard it. Cheng looked at Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui, then reached out from under her sleeve and poked Xia Youliang.

Xia Youliang widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and swallowed his words. He quietly pulled the third brother Xia Youxi who was not far away.

Xia Youxi whispered to his wife Wu.

Later, somehow, everyone fell silent at the same time. Even Liu and Sun, who had been arguing so loudly before, seemed to be tired of arguing and kept silent.

The voices of Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui, which were originally covered by the noisy voices, became particularly clear and loud:

"It's all the fourth room's fault! The fourth room should be the one to pay for it!"

"Who of us should talk about this?"

As the two were talking, they seemed to suddenly realize something was wrong. They looked up and saw that everyone in the room was staring at them expressionlessly. They broke out in a cold sweat.

The eldest brother reacted first, putting on a greasy smile and was about to speak when, with a "pop", a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles flew into his face.

After being hit, the boss's face changed instantly.

Which little bastard dares to act wildly above me? However, before he could start yelling in frustration, the second cloth shoe flew over.

The boss dodged in a hurry and almost sprained his waist, but finally managed to avoid it.

As a result, the second cloth shoe hit the shoulder of the stunned second brother.

The owner of the cloth shoes, Mr. Xia, ran towards his two sons barefoot and holding a pipe. He hit one of them on the head with the pipe, but he still felt unsatisfied and cursed with heavy breathing:

"Everyone, all day long, just thinks about their own little calculations!

What does Lao Si owe you? What does he owe you?

He had good intentions and used his own fields to try planting the new wheat seeds. He waited until everything was safe before telling his family. This shows the fourth brother's sincerity!

You two brothers are teaming up to plot against your own brother?

What do you mean it's the fourth brother who should pay this money?

Are you speaking human language?"

Although they were scolded, the eldest brother Xia Youcai and the second brother Xia Yougui did not think they were wrong.

But the old couple’s tempers are still there!

Old Master Xia doesn't get angry easily and has a very gentle temper. If he gets angry, it means he is really angry, so we must not offend him.

Zhou often jumped up and down and cursed, but this time she was unusually silent. Compared with the furious Old Man Xia, Zhou like this was more disturbing.

However, even though they were a little scared in their hearts, Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui did not change their words in the end. They just lowered their heads and said nothing, allowing Old Man Xia to scold them.

Xia Youtian tried to interrupt several times, but failed. Jiang was already in tears.

Xia Daohua covered her face helplessly.

She felt that the couple in the fourth room had a habit of taking all the responsibilities on themselves, which was really annoying!

For no reason, he was soft-hearted towards his brother who was plotting against him, and he offered himself up to be bullied just to smooth things over. Isn't this pure cat-cakeiness?

Xia Daohua didn't agree with that. Of course, this could also be related to the fact that she was not a native.

Modern people are very particular about the sense of boundaries, and rights and obligations must be clearly defined.

How can you just take all the blame on yourself without knowing right or wrong?

However, it seems difficult to explain this to Xia Youtian and Jiang...

Xia Daohua rubbed her face a little frantically, and then felt a gentle embrace. It turned out to be her sister Lihua.

Lihua held Xia Daohua in her arms and whispered in her ear:

"Don't be afraid, Daohua. Grandpa usually has a good temper, but he is really angry this time."

It seems that Lihua misunderstood.

Xia Daohua rubbed her face again, deliberately speaking in a low voice to Lihua:

"Sister, I'm not afraid. Grandpa beat my eldest and second uncles because they made mistakes. Just like the last time I ran to the mountains to play and my mother spanked my hands."

Xia Daohua's voice was clear and loud, and she deliberately spoke every word clearly so that everyone in the room could hear it.

I don't know if Mrs. Wu from the third room and Mrs. Cheng from the fifth room were doing it on purpose to show their support or they really couldn't help but burst out laughing at the same time.

Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui were so angry.

But in front of the furious Old Man Xia, they couldn't argue with Xia Daohua and couldn't help but get even angrier.

Seeing that Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui's faces had turned extremely ugly, Old Master Xia continued angrily:

"Listen, listen! Daohua is only nine years old, but she understands this truth! The two of you are almost a hundred years old together, so how come you are not as sensible as a child like Daohua?

This is our own brother, we can't turn against each other!"

As Mr. Xia spoke, he became sad:

"Your mother and I were both reluctant to eat and wear. Over the years, how many difficulties have we encountered?

But we kept gritting our teeth and running forward desperately!

I raised you with great difficulty, saved you from starvation and freezing, and even found you wives and started a family...

As a result, you all have grown up and have forgotten everything we old couple said!

We've only just started, why are you making such a fuss?

For a few coins and a few taels of silver, he even disowned his own brother!

In the future, when we two old guys die, will we be able to close our eyes?"

Old Master Xia was really sad, with tears and snot running down his face. Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui were also panicked. They knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed to Old Master Xia, admitting their mistakes and begging for forgiveness.

Old Master Xia sighed for a long time, but finally softened his heart and only told Xia Youcai and Xia Yougui not to do it again.

Zhou looked coldly at her two crying sons without saying a word.

In the end, the farce caused by the new wheat seeds was over, but the new wheat seeds left in Xia Youtian and Jiang were taken out and given to the old couple, leaving it to them to distribute as they wish.

They planned to use the wheat grown from the new wheat seeds in their own fields and select the good ones to use as seeds.

But neither of them mentioned the money for buying wheat seeds.

Seeing this, Xia Daohua whispered a few words into Linghua's ear. Linghua nodded, and suddenly, with a puzzled look on her face, she blurted out to the couple in the fourth room:

"Dad, Mom, didn't you give silver for the wheat seeds you took from grandma's house? Why did you have to give silver to grandma when she gave you wheat seeds, but she didn't have to give you silver when you gave her wheat seeds?"

Linghua's words were like a thunder, shocking everyone in the room.

Old Master Xia's cheeks turned red. Old Lady Zhou first scanned Xia Youtian and Jiang from head to toe with her sharp eyes, and then cast an approving look at Linghua.

Cheng had been paying attention to Xia Daohua, so she naturally did not ignore the little movements between her and Linghua. At this moment, she smiled meaningfully and raised her hand to touch Liu Lang's head.
