Chapter 116: Different Thoughts
After all, Liu didn't believe that this was done by Lady Huaishu.
In Liu's opinion, in this matter, most likely the Xia family found some gangsters to help them play tricks and fool the world.
The most important thing is that Liu didn't think that Erlang, a country boy, could have the weight to make the Locust Tree Goddess cry for him, so she appeared in front of everyone without saying a word.
However, these can be put aside.
Liu would never take the initiative to explain the difficulties of the fourth branch!
Anyway, since Sun was willing to make a fuss, Liu didn't mind playing along and making trouble. If she could get a piece of meat from the fourth house through this fuss, then her trip would not be in vain!
It has to be said that Sun did not disappoint Liu's expectations.
At this time, Sun was sitting on the floor in the old couple's room, with her hair disheveled. She slapped her thighs and yelled at the top of her lungs, cursing the fourth room and Erlang, while making indirect accusations against the old couple:
“This day is unbearable!
Even though the five fingers are of different lengths, they are all born by their parents. But our second branch's child was picked up from the graveyard!
I gave birth to a son and raised him with great difficulty, but now I allow others to instigate me and I am alienated from him!
The man's hands were sore from handling all the silver, so he just threw a few copper coins to him and sent him away, but he still thought he was a good person with good intentions!
You even hid it from me together with others. Giving birth to him would be worse than giving birth to a piece of bacon!"
Xia Daohua was listening on the side. If the old couple's faces had not turned extremely ugly, and Xia Youtian and Jiang had not also looked painful and helpless, she would have laughed out loud.
This Sun is really a talent. He can perform a sad rap anytime and anywhere!
Looking at the expressions of the other people in the room, from Xia Yougui to Xia Youliang, the faces of these brothers all looked unhappy.
The face of Mrs. Wu from the third room was full of deep contempt, and it was a bit hard to describe. She probably felt that she had fought with Mrs. Sun so many times in the past, which really lowered her status.
Cheng's eyes sparkled, one eyebrow raised, and the other corner of her mouth slightly turned up, but her face seemed expressionless.
Xia Daohua could see that she was actually the same as herself, clearly wanting to laugh but trying hard to hold it back.
Erlang's face also looked a little grumpy. He walked forward with a drooping brow and raised his hand to grab Sun's arm:
"Mom, get up!"
Sun refused to do it and shook off Erlang's hand stubbornly:
"Get away from me! You were sold and you're still counting the money for others. I'm talking about you! Your mother stood up for you, and you still come here to pretend to be a good person!"
Ji Lang frowned and looked miserable, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"Mom, you don't know what's going on here.
This recipe was passed down from my fourth aunt's sister-in-law's family, and the capital was also provided by my sister-in-law's family.
My fourth uncle and fourth aunt are also working for others, so what they say doesn’t count!
I am here to help run errands and carry things. In fact, my uncle and aunt can do this kind of work themselves, and anyone else can do it just as well.
They saw that I was injured, taking medicine, and couldn't get married at my age, so they wanted to help me, but they were afraid that I would feel bad, so they gave me money!
Besides, don’t say that my fourth uncle and fourth aunt are trying to support me and give me money to spend.
Even though they didn't give me a cent, my fourth uncle and aunt asked me to lend a hand, how could I not help them? "
Sun stiffened his neck:
"Don't fill me with these nice-sounding words!
If you can't get married, who among you in this house is not responsible?
Another thing, your aunt-in-law said that in our Beiguan Town, there are more than one restaurant selling their 'Rice Flower Fragrance' pickles!
Shenxianzui and Furongju are such big businesses, and you gave them so much money. How could the money given to your uncle and aunt by other restaurants be less?
Even if your fourth uncle and fourth aunt don't care about anything, based on their contribution, how much less can they earn? Only a fool like you dare to believe that nonsense!
People have deceived you, you silly boy, and you were completely stunned!
But you are still single-mindedly on their side, not listening to anyone's advice, and even saying all the good things for them!"
Erlang was speechless. He couldn't tell others that he had taken the dividends.
Otherwise, the dividend money will fall into the hands of Sun and Xia Yougui.
Especially for Xia Yougui, when he sees silver, it is like a mosquito seeing blood, there is no way he will let it go.
However, if I don't tell this, Sun will keep making trouble here. Not only will it make some people with ulterior motives laugh at me, but it will also be very unfair to my fourth uncle and aunt.
Erlang couldn't help but feel a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped twice in public.
Wu had endured it again and again, but now she couldn't bear it any longer:
Second sister-in-law, let's just talk about the matter. Why are you talking about irrelevant things?
Erlang got married a little late.
But let's be honest, those families that our mother introduced to Erlang, weren't you the one who found fault with them and rejected them one by one?
This family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families. It's obvious that our family doesn't like her, but her daughter refuses to get married and is just waiting here for you to come back to her. What's wrong with that?
The ones you like privately all ask for high gifts.
We have a large family to support, and we can't come up with so much money at once, so Erlang was delayed.
If we talk about responsibility, who has a greater responsibility than you and my second brother?"
Wu was actually quite unhappy that the fourth wife didn't take the third wife's money.
But considering the bad things that happened a few days ago when he introduced Lihua and Dai Sanlang, he felt embarrassed to blame the fourth room.
Another thing is that Wu has always despised Sun's behavior of taking advantage of others. She can't just forget everything when she sees the money when it happens to her.
Cheng added coldly:
"If you ask me, Fourth Brother and his wife are too soft-hearted, which is why Second Sister-in-law has such a domineering temper. She simply can't control her anger when she sees Fourth Brother and his wife.
In our village, let’s not talk about anything else, there are so many young boys who are a few years younger than Erlang and a few years older than Sanlang!
For a penny a day, there are plenty of people willing to do this errand job."
Although Cheng Shi didn't know that Erlang's job was not just running errands, she could guess it with her intelligence. But this didn't stop her from downplaying the matter.
It is impossible to say that you have no thoughts at all when you see the silver.
But since Xia Daohua had saved Liu Lang's life before, Cheng decided to treat Xia Daohua as her own daughter from the moment Liu Lang was fine.
Therefore, Cheng treated everything related to Xia Daohua as if it were all related to Liu Lang.
Giving food or something on a daily basis is just a token of my appreciation. How can I ever repay this kindness?
