When people are not wealthy, there won't be much profit to be made from hosting a banquet.
So, these bowls basically only need to be washed once and then rinsed with clean water.
After the meal, the men continued playing cards, drinking, or chatting.
Most women, on the other hand, are expected to help with chores and tidying up.
Looking at this scene, Xu Cuihua felt extremely frustrated and irritable.
Suddenly, the sound of a child crying and adults yelling came from the other side.
Xu Cuihua stood up and wiped the water off her hands with her apron.
She thought of Chen Jiayi, wondering how Chen Jiayi was doing.
Originally, Xu Cuihua had placed Chen Jiayi in a spot that Chen Jiayi could see easily when she looked up.
I was just distracted and didn't see anyone for a moment.
Xu Cuihua walked forward and found Chen Jiayi arguing with a very familiar-looking girl and her younger brother Xu Youfu.
The adult holding the baby girl pointed at Xu Youfu and cursed.
"How can you be so ill-mannered, you little beast? How can you be such a hooligan at such a young age?"
She pointed at Xu Youfu and cursed him repeatedly, making such a commotion that it attracted the attention of Xu's family as well.
When Xu Lao Er arrived, he saw Xu Cuihua standing there dumbfounded, her son being pointed at and scolded by someone.
He had a few drinks and immediately flew into a rage.
"Who are you calling a piece of shit?"
The two exchanged a few insults, and those around them quickly advised them to stop.
Through their argument, everyone figured out what had happened.
The little girl was squatting here playing when Xu Youfu ran over and lifted her skirt, which Chen Jiayi saw.
Chen Jiayi immediately stopped the other person's behavior.
However, relying on his tyrannical nature, Xu Youfu began to indiscriminately attack Chen Jiayi and the little girl.
When the little girl's mother returned home, she heard her daughter being scolded and immediately started yelling at Xu Youfu.
The Xu family initially felt wronged, but after learning that Xu Youfu had done something wrong, they suddenly became unreasonable.
She immediately apologized to the family, and it was then that Xu Cuihua learned that the child's name was Yao Yao.
Her eyes immediately filled with doubt. After inquiring about the other party's family, she discovered that the little girl was none other than Lin Yuyao, the young lady who was later adopted by the Lin family.
Xu Cuihua originally wanted to take Chen Jiayi away, but Chen Jiayi's mother took Chen Jiayi away directly after learning that this matter was related to Chen Jiayi.
Xu Cuihua heard Chen Jiayi's mother constantly scolding her, saying things like "meddling in other people's business" and "having nothing better to do"...
The little girl's eyes were red, and she didn't dare to say a word.
After this matter was over, everyone dispersed.
Xu Cuihua suddenly felt her ear being twisted painfully.
She cried out in pain, attracting the attention of those around her.
Everyone's eyes turned to her, and Xu Li, sensing their gazes, quickly gave them a smile.
"It's alright, it's alright. Let's all go have some tea and chat."
After Xu Li finished speaking, she twisted Xu Cuihua's ear and walked to the side.
Xu Cuihua was in excruciating pain, and the thought that she had died at the hands of this man in her previous life made her even angrier.
Xu Li pulled her ear while scolding her.
"So many people were cursing your brother just now, why didn't you say anything? Damn it, what good is raising a piece of trash like you!"
While chattering on and on, Xu Li twisted Xu Cuihua's ear forcefully.
Xu Cuihua's eyes flashed with hatred, and she reached out and elbowed Xu Li in the lower abdomen.
Xu Li felt the pain and immediately let go.
She clutched her stomach with one hand, and pointed tremblingly at Xu Cuihua with the other, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Xu Cuihua looked at Xu Li expressionlessly.
Even without any external force pulling on her ears, Xu Cuihua still felt a lot of pain.
She reached out and rubbed her ear, speaking in a cold tone.
Are you sick?
Upon hearing Xu Cuihua's words, Xu Li immediately flew into a rage! She pointed her finger at Xu Cuihua's nose and began to curse.
"You jinx! I gave birth to you and raised you, and this is how you repay me?"
"I should have strangled you the moment I gave birth to you!"
"How dare you talk to your mother like that? Xu Cuihua, you shameless woman. You're so young and already thinking about getting married and seducing men..."
Hearing increasingly outrageous words coming from his own mother.
Xu Cuihua simply couldn't listen anymore.
Having spent a long time by Chen Jiayi's side in her past life, her temper had changed from being manipulated to throwing tantrums.
Xu Cuihua, expressionless, reached out and slapped her mother across the face.
"Mom, this is the last time I'll call you Mom. Do I want to get married? I'm only sixteen, and you're already in a hurry to find me a marriage partner."
"The first man was over forty years old and had two children. You said okay, I'll marry him and become a stepmother."
“The second man is in his thirties, divorced with a child, and you agree to it too.”
"If she's so good, why don't you marry her yourself? What are you doing following that good-for-nothing dad of mine?"
Xu Li looked at her obedient daughter in front of her, and her words suddenly became so venomous.
She was completely shocked, pointing at Xu Cuihua and trembling for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
Xu Cuihua said coldly, "If you keep cursing me, we'll see if I die faster or if you get a better kick out of cursing me."
Xu Cuihua said those words and then turned and left.
Having been exploited by her family of origin her entire life in her previous life, Xu Cuihua will never live that kind of life again in this life.
She wants to walk the same path as in her previous life, but she wants to live a life that is completely different from her previous life!
Xu Cuihua's motto now is, if you're not convinced, then fight!
Xu Cuihua originally wanted to go to Chen Jiahua and ask him to persuade her mother that it wasn't Chen Jiayi's fault and that she shouldn't scold Chen Jiayi.
As a result, Chen Jiahua drank too much, and by the time Xu Cuihua arrived, Chen Jiahua was already unconscious.
She also had to help get Chen Jiahua to her resting room.
Xu Cuihua took a look at the empty room. This room was originally where her grandmother lived, but her grandmother passed away two months ago, and the room has been empty ever since.
Thinking of her grandmother, Xu Cuihua couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
When my grandmother was still alive, I cared about her the most.
Now that Grandma is gone, and a wall has collapsed in her old house, her family is eager to marry her off. She's like a dandelion seed...
Grandma's room was occupied by several people, and Xu Cuihua couldn't even find a place to throw Chen Jiahua into the room.
Xu Cuihua went to check her parents' and younger brother's rooms. There were quite a few people in her parents' room, but her younger brother's room was empty and locked by her parents.
Even though she was given a second chance at life, Xu Cuihua still felt a lump in her throat.
A wall in her room collapsed and no one paid attention to it. When she got engaged, her parents were worried that her younger brother's things would be taken away, so they locked the door.
My parents usually keep their nice things in my younger brother's room, so it's understandable that they're worried about them going missing.
Xu Cuihua was no longer bothered by her parents' favoritism.
She found an empty seat and asked her two cousins to take Chen Jiahua to that seat.
Looking at Chen Jiahua, who was drunk and unconscious, Xu Cuihua suddenly remembered something.
