Chapter 136: Confrontation and trouble
Xia Daohua smiled proudly: "Of course!"
She quickly picked up a steamed bun, put it in her mouth and took a bite, while taking the time to continue talking to Zhu: "What if you don't bring chopsticks and you come across something delicious and miss it?"
Seeing Xia Daohua's smug look, Lihua was a little amused: "Daohua, you..."
Xia Youcai and Liu looked at each other and quickly exchanged glances.
Xia Youcai was asking Liu why she brought Daohua with her. Liu looked at him with disgust and rolled her eyes, pointing at her face and telling Xia Youcai that this girl was thick-skinned and he should be careful when dealing with her.
Xia Youcai cleared his throat and said:
"Since you are here, stay a few more days. Spend time with your sister Jinhua and talk to her more.
She was not happy living in her husband's family and had been hiding from us crying every day these days.
This time, with your advice, I think Jinhua will slowly come to her senses and learn to take care of herself."
Xia Youcai spoke so seriously that Lihua and Daohua naturally agreed.
But a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Lihua's mouth:
The uncle was very kind to Jinhua! The way grandparents treated the uncle was very similar to how the uncle treated Jinhua! I wonder how Jinhua will treat the uncle in the future!
Xia Daohua raised her eyebrows, skeptical about what Xia Youcai said.
When Lihua and I entered the room, Jinhua had a look of joy on her face. Now, she didn't look sad at all.
However, Jinhua does seem to be thinner than before she got married.
The fattest person at the table at this moment was my aunt-in-law, Liu.
Although Zhu was somewhat plump, she was a daughter-in-law after all. In addition to taking care of Ah Liu, she also had to serve Liu. At this moment, she was much thinner than before when she was pregnant.
Xia Youcai's condition has not recovered yet, and he still looks like a skeleton covered with old skin.
Jinhua was also recovering from being hungry for a few days. She was also worried, so she looked thinner and more haggard. Her clothes, which had originally fitted her, were now a little too big. She was clearly in her clothes, but they looked empty.
After carefully observing the appearance of this family, Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel that it was fortunate that the one who went to ask the old couple for money was Liu, the still wealthy fat girl.
Although she was wearing half-new clothes and downgraded jewelry, she still had some flesh on her body. Even if the old couple believed her words, they would only believe her to a limited extent.
But if Xia Youcai or Jinhua went to the Xia family in this state, the old couple would probably be overwhelmed when they saw them!
If you can't help but feel sad, won't you have to agree to sell the land?
Xia Daohua shook her head slightly, but Xia Youcai noticed it: "What's wrong? Niece Daohua, these buns are too oily and not to your liking?"
Xia Youcai actually ridiculed Xia Daohua for being naive and didn't even think about who had emptied the family's money!
Lihua's anger was already rising.
Xia Daohua laughed and said, "No, no, this bun is quite delicious. It's just that the quantity is too small, I'm not full."
Xia Youcai and Liu's faces immediately fell, but Lihua's face relaxed.
For some reason, every time she saw Daohua speaking without restraint and making her uncle and aunt feel embarrassed with a word she said intentionally or unintentionally, Lihua felt inexplicably comfortable in her heart.
Xia Youcai looked unhappy for a while, but when he saw that Xia Daohua was not afraid of him at all, he frowned and said to Liu: "Your niece is not full, why don't you hurry up and make some for her?"
Just as Liu was about to say that there was no white flour left at home, Xia Daohua smiled and sighed:
"Oh my, this bun is so delicious, I thought it was bought from outside!
I didn’t expect it was my aunt’s cooking!
Auntie, your cooking skills are really good, you can open a shop!"
Xia Youcai's face darkened. Lihua's lips were already dimpled.
Liu looked uncomfortable and said with a wry smile:
"We came back late, there are no buns for sale at this time.
Since my niece Daohua is not full, why don't we just make do with some porridge to relax?
Zhu, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? Why don’t you go to the kitchen and get some porridge for your sister?
You say you are a grown-up, but why are you so blind? You are not good at anything, you eat everything without leaving anything, you have no sense of judgment when doing things, and your face is thick enough to be stuffed through a city wall..."
Although Zhu knew very well that her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with Daohua and was making indirect accusations against her, she still felt so much pain in her eyes that she almost cried out loud.
She turned around, hugged A Liu, and ran to the kitchen.
Liu turned to look at her precious daughter:
"Jinhua, take Pear Blossom and Rice Blossom and go look at the patterns you want to use for your embroidered screen.
Don't you say that time is very tight? Then don't waste time here.
You take the two girls with you to have a careful look and think carefully. If there is anything missing, you can buy it as soon as possible."
Liu's distribution of power made her sound like the mistress of the family.
However, Xia Daohua pulled Lihua and lowered her voice, but the volume was loud enough for everyone to hear clearly:
"Sister, are you full? I'm still hungry! My aunt just asked my sister-in-law to serve porridge. It's not good to leave my sister-in-law here if we leave now, right?"
Liu was already gnashing with hatred.
Let’s just say that summer rice flowers are a jinx!
With her around, there's no peace!
How dare she ask me for buns right after I got here?! I told her to serve her some porridge, but she didn't refuse! Does this girl have a pig brain?
Wherever you go, you are always thinking about eating and can't even tell whether the host is happy or not?
Of course Xia Daohua could see that Liu was unhappy.
She just wanted to make Liu angry on purpose.
Besides, since Liu had arranged to leave so early and didn't even let Lihua and herself eat, and the two of them were afraid of getting hungry on the road, they also brought two dry and hard black dumplings with them - now that they were at Liu's house, shouldn't Liu treat them to a proper meal?
Not to mention the luxury of eating meat and fish, but at least you should have the same food standards as your own family, right?
Besides, even if you're just drinking porridge, at least you should be full, right?
Did Liu really think that she could just use Lihua as a laborer?
Not even a meal?
Xia Daohua kept making things difficult for her just to make her put away her disrespectful attitude!
Xia Youcai seemed to have figured out something. He scolded Liu impatiently:
"Alright, alright, you're the one who gets flustered when faced with something, what are you doing?
There is no need for the family members to be unfaithful. Take the meat pie from last night and heat it up and give it to the two nieces. Make sure they are well fed before they go back to work. "
