Chapter 119: Blatant Arrogance
First of all, we should not use space as arbitrarily as we do now. Instead, we should be more cautious and careful to prevent all kinds of loopholes in advance or smooth them out in time.
Xia Daohua pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of any business that could allow the third and fifth branches to participate together.
But don't be too anxious about making money, just take it slow!
Not long after Sun and Xia Yougui left, Erlang came back panting with the doctor.
Seeing that Sun had disappeared, his face darkened and his brows furrowed tightly.
Taohua briefly explained the situation to Erlang, and Erlang took the doctor back to the second room to see Sun.
Liu looked at Erlang's back with some envy.
She had always been very proud of having a son who could read, but when it came to being considerate and caring, Dalang was far behind Erlang. Among the third generation of the entire Xia family, Erlang should be the strongest.
At this moment, not only Liu, but also Wu, Jiang, and Cheng, all had feelings in their hearts.
Even Zhou felt a complicated feeling in her heart.
Xia Yougui and Sun Shi are not good parents.
But Erlang and Taohua are both good kids.
Zhou asked herself, it seems that she and Old Man Xia did not do anything wrong. As for the preference for the first and fifth wives, this kind of thing is very normal and common in farmers' families.
But the fifth room is okay. Although the fifth son is a bit of a henpecked man, he is very filial.
However, the first and second wives both grew crooked for unknown reasons.
Everyone couldn't help but think: How could a mother like Sun raise a son like Erlang? Perhaps this is the legendary saying that good shoots come from bad bamboos?
Half an hour later, Erlang politely sent the doctor away, leaving behind several large bags of herbs and several boxes of pills.
Sun and Xia Yougui were in great harmony at the moment, and they cursed Erlang in unison for having so much money but not knowing where to spend it, and for being so blessed that he wasted it all on these charlatans.
The doctor's skills are indeed not very high, but it is a bit too much to say that he is a charlatan.
At first glance, Sun's disturbance this time seemed to be just like all his previous disturbances, with much ado about nothing, a bluff but a whimper, and after a lot of nonsense, it ended hastily.
But the impact of this incident did not end there.
The old couple deeply reflected on their failure in educating their children, which resulted in Liu's trip back being doomed to fail.
Liu was a sweet-talker, never asking for money for her nice words, and she poured out baskets of them to the old couple.
Old Master Xia was too lazy to pay attention to her. Fortunately, Mrs. Liu didn't dare to get close to Old Master Xia. Her focus was on Mrs. Zhou.
But Zhou seemed like a different person.
Although he accepted all these compliments, he was no longer as overjoyed as he used to be when he was praised. When he heard about Xia Dalang's future prospects, he would happily open his heart and even give him money.
Liu had been living in the village for three or four days and had hinted several times that she wanted Zhou and Old Man Xia to sell a few more acres of land so that she could give Jinhua a decent dowry. But Zhou refused to respond.
Liu was very anxious, and blisters appeared on the corners of her mouth, but she didn't dare to speak directly. She was afraid that if she spoke directly, Zhou would refuse openly, and there would be no room for maneuver in this matter.
Sun hasn't spoken to Liu in the past few days.
This somewhat dazed second brother's wife was now filled with disgust towards her eldest sister-in-law who often fooled her. She even felt uncomfortable when she saw Liu.
At Erlang's insistence, Sun had been obediently drinking the bitter Chinese medicine. Although she was drinking the medicine, she cursed Erlang with mixed feelings for not knowing how to live and wasting money.
Erlang also spent his own money to buy two old hens and a piece of fat and lean pork belly, and asked Taohua to cook delicious food in various ways for Sun.
Sun's skinny body has finally gained some weight.
It's no wonder that Sun's face has grown some flesh, and her original meanness has faded a lot. Of course, the premise is that she can't speak.
Xia Yougui looked at Erlang with a gloomy face, busying around taking care of Sun, and felt relieved but also heartbroken.
He was even more certain that Erlang had concealed the truth from him and had hidden the silver secretly.
But he still felt that the matter of the Fourth Room was definitely not simple, and there must be someone else involved behind the scenes.
Xia Yougui decided not to act rashly for the time being and to change his strategy towards Erlang.
Sooner or later, the silver in Erlang's hand will have to be taken out from him.
But now, Erlang was angry and had a very righteous idea.
I have to change my strategy and can't use force against Erlang anymore.
In fact, the truth of the matter is that Xia Yougui was just saying nice things to flatter himself.
Even though Erlang had been injured once and had to use crutches for a long time, limping for some time, if Xia Yougui were asked to beat his son now, Xia Yougui really couldn't beat him.
Mrs. Sun was recovering from her illness, so no one was arguing with Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu wasn't feeling lonely either - she had a severe conflict with Mrs. Liu.
However, this matter really cannot be blamed on Wu.
Wu was just trying to hold back when Liu was bragging about Jinhua finding a perfect son-in-law for the 10th time. But in the end, she couldn't help it and blurted out something about the Dai family being unreliable.
However, Liu took this opportunity to vent her anger over Dai Sanlang's encounter with Lihua and made some sarcastic remarks towards Wu.
Wu felt that Liu was ungrateful, and Liu felt that Wu was blind. The two had a big quarrel and parted unhappily.
Wu angrily decided to change the makeup for Jinhua from a pair of silver hairpins with double flying swallows to a pair of the cheapest peach wood hairpins on the market.
However, after Sun's commotion, Jiang and Xia Youtian decided to build a new house.
Xia Youtian took a fancy to a piece of land in the valley north of the village.
The biggest advantage of that place is that the land is very cheap, and you can build a house just by telling Wang the village head. If you make the yard bigger, no one in the village will have any objections.
The disadvantage is that it is far from the village and the transportation is not convenient. If you encounter bandits, it will be very unsafe. Moreover, the house is in the valley. Although it is sheltered from the wind, it cannot be protected from flooding or attacks by wild animals.
Jiang always listened to Xia Youtian's opinion, and whatever Xia Youtian said was the truth. But Xia Youtian himself was a little indecisive, so this idea was just an idea for the time being.
Xia Daohua planned to investigate that place, but since everyone else was busy, she went alone.
The land in the valley is very flat and the soil is not too bad.
However, it had been left deserted and unattended, with a variety of shrubs and weeds growing on it, as well as many stones of varying sizes stacked in a staggered manner.
The summer rice flowers are very interesting to watch.
Even if you don't build a house here, it would be nice to have a warehouse or cellar!
Xia Daohua wandered around for a while, and finally chose a flat meadow full of fresh and pleasing blue-purple butterfly flowers. She lay down without any image and rolled around happily several times.
Then, her expression suddenly became serious.
Chapter has been replaced. Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
