Xia Zhiliao looked at her three brothers who were lying on the edge of the kang and staring at her. She was not afraid of strangers because they were all her brothers. What was there to be afraid of?
And hasn’t he become a murderer or a pervert yet?
The brothers at this moment looked so innocent, they were as adorable as they could be.
"Zhi Liao, eat it quickly. I picked it especially for you." Xia Jiang advised.
"That's right, Auntie wanted to eat it but we didn't give it to her, so it's all yours, eat it quickly." Xia Hai licked his lips, he was not greedy at all.
The Xia family has a large population but not much land. In addition, the family has to support Dad's studies, so they have to spend more every year than they earn. All the delicious food in the family goes to Grandma and Dad who is studying. If there is any left, it goes to the uncles who do the hard work.
When it came to the women and children's turn, there was not even any soup left. Of course, Xia Jinxiu was an exception. She was a posthumous daughter, and Old Lady Xia doted on her very much. Moreover, Xia Jinxiu was indeed very pretty, and was famous in all the villages around her.
"Zhiliao, why don't you eat?" Xia Jiang asked again when he saw that his sister didn't open her mouth for a long time.
Xia Zhiliao took a deep breath. Forget about such a small amount of meat. If her portable space was still there, let alone meat, she would have all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, ginseng and ganoderma lucidum.
That was the secret of the Xia family passed down from generation to generation. It was a pity that she didn't take the bracelet with her when she died.
Xia Zhiliao glanced at her empty wrist, which was completely hairless.
She suddenly remembered Boss Su’s crying. She felt sorry for her ancestors and the food she had hoarded after reading the apocalyptic novel!
My God, even though they are cannon fodder, who says cannon fodder can’t have golden fingers?
Xia Zhiliao came back to her senses when she heard her brothers’ calls. Although she was small, she didn’t intend to eat alone.
Soon, her little hands scooped up the sparrows in the bowl, and quickly divided them into several pieces, which she shared with her brothers.
The little girl's action touched her three brothers so much that they secretly vowed to protect the cicada.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Besides, my aunt and grandmother are very kind to me and always stand by me at critical moments.
Xia Zhiliao also wanted to leave some for his uncles, but the sparrows were too small and it was difficult for each of them to take a bite.
But something is better than nothing, and the thought is what matters most.
When Xia Zhiliao staggered to the old lady's room carrying half a bowl of soup, Xia Jinxiu was also there.
"Zhiluo, what's going on?" Xia Jinxiu asked knowingly. There was such a loud noise outside just now, it was impossible for her not to hear it.
Xia Zhiliao first smiled at the pretty young aunt. Not only men like beautiful women, but women also like them. They also want to take a few more glances at pretty girls.
[There's only this much left. I don't have any left to eat. Will grandma and my aunt dislike it? ]
Old Mrs. Xia's heart was broken. It was just a piece of meat, but this girl knew to share it out and give some to everyone. Her love was really worth it. Fortunately, she didn't give it away, otherwise where else would she find such a filial and obedient child?
"Girl, your second brother worked so hard to get this for you, so just eat it. Why are you giving it away everywhere? You are the only one in our family who is weak, so you should eat more."
Xia Jinxiu's eyes turned red, and she vowed to become a royal concubine so that she could have the best doctor in the world treat her niece.
"Mom, Zhiliao is so filial. It would be nice if he could talk."
"Who said it wasn't!" Old Mrs. Xia took the bowl and started feeding Xia Zhiliao spoonful by spoonful, making Xia Zhiliao feel a little embarrassed.
"Let's go to the temple tomorrow and pray for Zhiliao." Old Mrs. Xia said deliberately indifferently.
[Great! This way, grandma will be able to see my aunt secretly meeting that cousin.]
Xia Jinxiu rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, don't go with sister-in-law. It's too early. I can't get up. Let's go later."
Old Mrs. Xia also had the same idea. If they went together, how could they catch the adulterer?
"Okay, don't make a fuss about it for now. If something happens, we may not go." Old Mrs. Xia advised, not wanting her daughter to alert the enemy.
She didn't know that Xia Jinxiu had the same intention.
Xia Zhiliao felt a little excited, and then looked at the old lady eagerly.
This time she didn't need to say anything, Old Lady Xia and Xia Jinxiu understood what she meant and agreed.
"Zhiliao, do you want to go too? Then let's go together. I'll pray for you. Of course you have to go."
[Grandma, you and I really have a tacit understanding. ]
Old Mrs. Xia pursed her lips and smiled, but then a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes.
She wanted to see if all the kindness she had shown over the years had gone to waste and produced a slut who was unfaithful to her husband.
The next morning, Xia Zhang went out with a huge bag.
Xia Jinxiu remained calm and deliberately asked, "Sister-in-law, why do you bring so many things to the temple?"
Xia Zhang smiled awkwardly, "These... these are prepared for your eldest brother. They said that if we burn them in the temple, he will receive them down there."
"Let me see, what have you prepared for Big Brother?"
Xia Zhang was so scared that she quickly dodged. Seeing that Old Lady Xia had left, she came to lobby again, "Mom, I thought about it yesterday. What my cousin said is really a good idea. Our land produces the best crops every year, but it's not enough to eat. You might as well rent it out, and then let the brothers go out to earn some money."
Xia Zhiliao yawned, turned his head to see his mother, and smiled.
Aunt will be in trouble soon. Grandma’s temper has been caught. How can she be good?
Xia Chen sighed.
Xia Zhiliao was very scared. The mother in the novel was just a goody-goody.
[My mother is not feeling sorry for my auntie, is she? Please don't do that. You are nice to her, but she bullies you a lot. She was the one who instigated grandma to scold you before. Please don't be soft-hearted and tell her the truth. Also, you didn't see grandma for the last time when she died. It was also my auntie's fault. Mom, don't be stupid.]
Xia Jinjun knew that his wife had always been kind, but if his sister-in-law really had an affair, that would no longer be a trivial matter and he could not be soft-hearted.
"You stay at home later. Do your embroidery well today and show it to Boss Su as soon as possible." Xia Jinjun was afraid that his wife would be confused and implicated.
After hearing what her daughter said, wouldn't it be foolish for Xia Chen to be soft-hearted?
Although her adoptive mother had no money, she was very good to her and raised her to adulthood, but she didn't even get to see her for the last time.
Xia Chen's eyes were calm, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, "I know, making money is more important, and I don't like going out."
The father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his wife, Xia Jinjun's heart softened. "You should take a break. Your body is your own."
Xia Chen smiled and nodded, "It's not that easy to get tired, but I don't know how much my embroidery can sell for."
[So many, mother, don't underestimate yourself, believe in yourself, your pair of pillowcases cost two taels of silver, and when you go to the capital in the future, it will be even more amazing.]
Xia Chen was stunned. Is it so valuable?
