Chapter 28: Establishing Authority



Since the Hu family had no guest rooms, Hu Jiaoqiao's arrival meant that everyone except the fourth roommate was unable to sleep in their own rooms.

Hu Chunsheng and Hu Xiaoyi slept in the second house, Hu Jiaoqiao, Zhao Chang and Cao Zhaodi slept in the old couple's room, and Sun Fangfen slept in the big house.

Sun Fangfen felt less pain in her body these past two days, and she didn't want to bother the mother and daughter anymore, so she just slept quietly in the corner.

This is why she wanted Zhang Hui to marry in as soon as possible.

The Hu family had no extra rooms, so after Hu Zhu got married, where to live became a problem.

Zhang Hui's family is strong, so the Hu family naturally dare not neglect them and will definitely build a new house after the marriage.

It is obviously more cost-effective to build a house than to drive them, the largest family with the smallest population, to live outside.

She had raised the scores many times before, which had planted the fuse in their hearts. Now she wanted to ignite the fuse.

This is also the best way to take Li Aihua away from this environment and live her own life.

At night, that damn Sun Fangfen was snoring so loudly that Hu Lin couldn't sleep well the whole night.

When Li Aihua called her to get up, she was still sleepy. She suppressed her bad temper and went to eat with gray eyes.

Before anyone arrived, Hu Jiaoqiao was sitting at the main table feeding Zhao Chang egg custard.

Hu Lin saw it and narrowed his eyes.

At this time, Li Aihua brought over a bowl of egg custard and placed it in front of Hu Lin.

"Where's your egg custard?" Hu Lin asked knowingly.

Li Aihua, like her, has a bowl of egg custard every morning.

Although the others were jealous, they did not dare to make any more mistakes at this time due to Hu Lin's big fuss, and they had been living in peace these days.

It's really annoying that Sister Hu causes trouble as soon as she arrives.

“Is this sister-in-law’s egg custard?”

When Hu Jiaoqiao heard Hu Lin's words, she looked at the two of them in surprise.

When will the sister-in-law be able to eat egg custard? This is not how she remembers it.

She went to the kitchen to help with something and to show that she was filial.

I happened to see some egg custard, so I took a bowl.

"What do you think?" Hu Lin looked at her coldly.

"I thought the child's grandmother knew that the child had to eat a bowl of egg custard every morning at home, so she asked my sister-in-law to steam it..."

Hu Jiaoqiao explained.

"so what?"

"Why don't you give this bowl of rice to the child today? The child is still young and needs to grow up."

"Yeah?"

Hu Lin approached the two men, and the others who came over and saw them were all confused.

"But these are my eggs. I can give them to whoever I want to eat them."

Hu Lin reached out and knocked over the bowl in Hu Jieqiao's hand.

The bowl fell to the ground, staining Hu Jieqiao's trouser legs and Zhao Chang's shoes.

"If I don't give it to anyone, I won't even feed it to the dog."

Hu Lin stared at Sister Hu and spoke word by word.

Regardless of whether this was intentional or unintentional, she would do what she said that night and let the Hu family see her attitude.

Since Hu Jiaoqiao has bumped into her, she will become her target for establishing her authority.

Cao Zhaodi happened to see this scene and said, "This is really outrageous. I will beat you to death, you unlucky person."

Cao Zhaodi stood behind Hu Lin and raised her hand to hit her, but Hu Lin seemed to have eyes behind him and her attack missed.

The egg custard was gone, and Zhao Chang started crying. He looked at Hu Lin angrily and wanted to hit her, but was held down by Hu Jiaoqiao.

Hu Jiaoqiao held the child and cried without saying a word, looking like she had suffered a great injustice.

Seeing this, Cao Zhaodi was furious, and Hu Chunsheng also looked at Hu Lin reproachfully.

"What are you doing?" Hu Chunsheng asked.

Hu Lin looked at Hu Chunsheng, "Grandpa, didn't you see? They stole my mother's egg custard."

"It's just a bowl of egg custard. Why are you so stingy? He's your cousin. Your mother hasn't said anything yet. Do you want to intervene?"

"Cousin? I wouldn't give it to him even if he was my biological brother. These are the eggs given to me by the Yang family. I shared them with my mother to nourish her body. Why should I give them to him?

"You didn't even say a word. What's the difference between you and your uncle and aunt stealing steamed bread? Master, won't you punish me?"

"Punishment, I think you should be punished. You have been spoiled to the point of being lawless." Cao Zhaodi stared at Hu Lin with eyes that were about to spit fire.

When Li Aihua heard the punishment, her body trembled.

"Your aunt doesn't know, and I don't think she did it on purpose, so let's just forget about it."

Hu Xiaoyi watched Hu Jiaoqiao grow up, and he knew that his sister was simple and soft-hearted, and it was impossible for her to do it on purpose.

"Forget about saying it wasn't intentional, but who will compensate me for my eggs?

That's real money! I heard that eggs are sold for three cents each in the supply and marketing cooperative. Will you pay for her?"

This was not the first time that Hu Xiaoyi had shown his weakness, and Hu Lin naturally did not care about his face at all.

Hu Jiaoqiao, who had been crying silently, was shocked for a moment when she heard Hu Lin's words.

I didn't expect that the little girl wouldn't even listen to her dad.

Only at this moment did she truly realize the importance of what Cao Zhaodi had told her yesterday.

"Are you going to ask your aunt to pay for a bowl of egg custard that you didn't finish and smashed?

How could an aunt pay money to her niece just for a bowl of egg custard?" Hu Chunsheng asked back.

"Now it is available."

Hu Chunsheng was speechless for a moment.

"Since I spilled the custard, each of you should take half of the responsibility. Give me 1.5 and it will be over."

I didn't intend to ask for compensation in the first place, I just spoke too quickly.

Now that I think about it, it’s not impossible.

How hard it is to make money in this world!

Every penny you can earn counts. No matter who she is, the best thing to do is to keep the money in your own hands!

Sister Hu's eyes were red as she looked at Cao Zhaodi for help.

Zhao Chang, who was held down by her, also became dispirited after hearing a few words from the adults, knowing that this was not a battle he could participate in.

Before Cao Zhaodi could speak, Hu Lin added coldly, "Aunt, you don't have even this little money, right? Didn't you marry the deputy county magistrate?

Doesn't he give you money to spend? Aren't you his wife?"

With that said, Hu Jiaoqiao could no longer pretend to be dead.

Before Hu Jieqiao could say anything, Cao Zhaodi couldn't wait to speak, "Where can I find the five cents for you? Aren't you embarrassing your aunt?

It's just a bowl of egg custard, I'll compensate you. You're really stingy and take it out on your family. How could the Hu family have such a disloyal person like you? "

"Okay, then you compensate me now." Hu Lin stretched out his hand to ask for it from Cao Zhaodi.

Since she had no money, having eggs was also good. In the end, she made a small profit.

After saying this in public, in order to protect her beloved daughter, Cao Zhaodi could not regret it. She could only go back to the room angrily, open the cupboard, and take out an egg for Hu Lin.

"Thank you, grandma."

Cao Zhaodi glared at Hu Lin and comforted Hu Jiaoqiao, "It's okay, stop crying, look at your eyes, they are all swollen from crying."

"Mom, I didn't mean it. You know Chang'er eats a bowl of egg custard every day at home. I really thought you prepared it for Chang'er."

Hu Jiaoqiao cried breathlessly, with tears streaming down her face.
