Mrs. Xia saw her daughter's eyes widen, and said with a stern face: "Why are you looking at me? I have to get married too. I don't expect you to marry a very capable man. Even a very capable man may not be reliable. The most important thing for a man is to be down-to-earth."
"Mom, that's not what you said before." Xia Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Humph, mother also found someone like this for you before." Old Mrs. Xia looked at her daughter, "What's wrong? Did you meet someone suitable in the county?"
Old Lady Xia was extremely happy. As long as her daughter got married now, she wouldn't have to have anything to do with the emperor, and the whole family could live happily together, which was better than anything else.
"Have you seen your fourth sister-in-law?"
Xia Jinxiu frowned, "My old lady, no, I'm so busy all day that I don't have the time to care about that."
"Besides, why did my fourth sister-in-law see you?"
"You have to meet your fourth sister-in-law. She has seen the world and can tell at a glance what kind of person is in front of her, whether he is good or bad, real or fake. She is a family member and will not cheat you."
Xia Jinxiu understood this truth, "Mom, I really don't have one, but you said that Fourth Sister-in-law is so good, why do you like my Fourth Brother?"
"Go, what's wrong with your fourth brother? Your fourth brother is not bad, you little girl." Although Mrs. Xia was a little partial before, she was actually fair to all the children.
He favored his second son because he wanted to wait for him to become successful and, for his own sake, let him lead a good life with his younger brothers and sisters.
"Really?" said Old Mrs. Xia.
"Really not! What is there to lie to you about? Tell me why you are in such a hurry. Other people's families are married at my age, but do other people's families have the ability that I do?" Xia Jinxiu asked with a smile.
"Mom is afraid of you..."
"Alright, alright, mom, I just came back and you're already nagging me. I'm not stupid, I know what kind of man is a good man worth marrying. If I see him, I will definitely not let him run away."
Xia Jinxiu also wanted to find someone who was devoted to her and treated her well. It didn't matter whether he had money or not, but now it seemed that it didn't matter. She had everything, but he couldn't be someone who had nothing.
Old Lady Xia looked at her little girl who was leaning on her shoulder and acting like a spoiled child, and sighed, "Mom is doing this for your own good, you don't understand..."
"I understand."
"What do you know!" Old Lady Xia glared at her, "My mother is afraid that you will marry the wrong person."
Xia Jinxiu smiled faintly. She didn't even want the emperor, so she had to open her eyes and find a good one. "No, mother, the person I marry must be the best."
The more she said this, the more worried Old Lady Xia became. Her daughter had high standards and was not interested in ordinary people. It would be terrible if she really fell in love with the emperor.
As soon as Xia Jinxiu returned to the village, all the young men in the village were eager to go to Xia's house to guard her.
Whenever she walked down the street, there were always two men following her to try their best to please her.
But Xia Jinxiu didn't care. These people grew up with her, and she knew every character of each one of them.
As I said, if it was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago. Why wait until now?
"Hmph, you're like a butterfly all day long, just flirting with men." Zhang Hehua threaded the needle resentfully. Now that she couldn't make much money from embroidery, she had lost interest.
As a girl of similar age in the village, who doesn't envy Xia Jinxiu? She is beautiful and has had a group of boys playing with her since she was a child. Now she is as glorious as she can be.
Zhang Hehua is the one who is envious, jealous and hateful. Besides, her relationship with the Xia family has become strained, and she doesn’t have to worry about falling out. What face does she have now?
Xia Jinxiu glanced at her calmly and said, "Butterflies are good, butterflies are beautiful, some people want to be butterflies, but unfortunately they are just green bean flies, ugly and disgusting."
Zhang Hehua looked at Xia Jinxiu as if she were an enemy, wishing she could throw away the shoe in her hand and fight with her.
Xia Jinxiu is not a weak person. She has been protected by her mother and spoiled by her brothers since she was a child. How could she be afraid of her?
"Want to fight?" Xia Jinxiu curled her lips, "That's great. Just because of what you did to my second sister-in-law, I also want to teach you a lesson. My second sister-in-law is a good person, but I, Xia Jinxiu, am not someone you can easily mess with."
Zhang Hehua bit her lip. She was really a little afraid to fight.
"Haha, it turns out that you are just a paper tiger. You only have the guts to do bad things behind people's backs, but you are so timid in front of people, right?"
It was clearly Zhang Hehua who started the incident, but now she looked as if she had been wronged and her eyes were red.
Xia Jinxiu really couldn't stand seeing this kind of person, "You don't want to fight anymore? Then I'm leaving. If I hear you talking nonsense behind my back again, I'll tear your mouth apart."
"You dare?"
"Do you think I dare?" Xia Jinxiu asked back with her chest puffed out and her head raised.
"Jinxiu, you're back?" Xia Chen came over from a distance. Seeing that the situation was not good, she pulled her sister-in-law back.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you pulling me? I'm not as easy to talk to as you are. I'll help you deal with her."
Xia Chen smiled knowingly, "Good sister, Second Sister-in-law knows you are doing this for my own good, but there is no need for that. She has already been punished, and she also has to pay for the breach of contract."
"That's better. I was really afraid that you would be soft-hearted and give up." Xia Jinxiu said.
"No matter how soft-hearted I am, I will never be soft-hearted towards someone who betrayed me."
"That's right." Xia Jinxiu smiled.
"How's the shop going? I see you've become thinner and tired. Zhiliao has come up with some boneless chicken feet and said he wants to use them for your small restaurant. You can try them later."
"That's great. Nothing this girl can come up with is impossible." Xia Jinxiu said with a smile.
She must make the dish her little niece came up with into her signature dish.
"Wait, I still have a few words to say."
When Xia Chen saw her turn around, she looked at her worriedly, fearing that her sister-in-law would get into a fight with someone.
"With such a character, you still want to marry into our family? You can meet my fourth sister-in-law later." Xia Jinxiu sprinkled salt on Zhang Hehua's heart.
"Hmph, who cares? You're not much better. Aren't you able to get married too?" Zhang Hehua said in impatientness.
"I can't get married? Then you just open your eyes and watch what kind of person I marry!" Xia Jinxiu shouted.
"Alright, alright, auntie, our family still owes someone money. If I ask you to pay it back tomorrow, where are you going to get it?"
Mrs. Zhang is a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. Although she hates the Xia family to death, she dares not to confront them head-on.
They were afraid that Xia Chen would be angry and ask them to pay back the money.
"Pay back the money? Why should I pay her back? If you dare to force me to do so, I will die in front of them."
Mrs. Zhang frowned. Although her daughter was not very good, she was reluctant to let her die. "You should find someone to marry her. You can't deny the money. They have a relationship with the county magistrate. You can't afford to offend them."
Zhang Hehua pursed her lips. The people should not fight against the officials. In her eyes, the county magistrate was the heaven.
