Chapter 58 Finding Trouble
Xia Daohua chose a very good topic and it was easy for her to get off topic.
Unfortunately, Jiang quickly came to her senses:
"Daohua, where's the gold? Bring it here quickly! It's in your hand. What if you drop it?"
Xia Daohua grinned, ran to the door, leaned half of her body out, turned her head and laughed: "I hid it! If you can find it, it's yours. If you can't, don't blame me!"
Having said this, he ran away.
Jiang was so angry that she threw the rag in her hand onto the table with a "smack" and yelled at Xia Youtian: "This child is still going crazy! It's all because of you!"
Xia Youtian suppressed his laughter and said soothingly, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I'll tell her later!"
Lihua smiled slightly.
She knew that she was not mistaken and that there was something fishy about those wolves.
The girl really had an adventure.
But she wasn't going to say it.
On the contrary, she would try her best to keep Daohua a secret. She would keep it a secret for every person she could, and every day she could keep it a secret would be a day.
Wu Lang raised his hand and touched her buttocks.
Although his injury has healed, he still remembers the loss he suffered at that time.
The wolf meat and wolf skin were all distributed in the blink of an eye, and he didn't even get to eat a single bite. If Daohua hadn't insisted, he probably wouldn't have gotten any of the rabbit meat either!
My parents are both selfless and kind-hearted people.
If their grandparents or uncles asked them, they would agree without hesitation.
I would rather put off my own affairs and always follow my grandparents' wishes first.
It would be different if you changed to rice flowers.
Wu Lang felt that Daohua acted very differently after her injury healed. She became bolder, more assertive, and always considered her family first. But he was happy to see this change.
At least, now he feels more at ease putting the money in Daohua's hands than in his parents' hands.
Wu Lang winked at Ling Hua, who immediately obeyed and rushed over to Jiang's arms:
"Mom, you don't even care about Linghua!"
Jiang said angrily, "You are such a heartless little thing, you are doing this to me again! Why don't I love you anymore?"
Linghua smiled and hugged Jiang's neck, kissed her on the cheek, and smeared her face with saliva:
"Mom, you only have eyes for Sister Daohua and don't even look at me!"
Jiang was both angry and amused:
"Your sister Daohua made me angry, and I just glared at her. Are you jealous? You little thing, don't be a jealous person!"
Linghua put her arms around Jiang's waist and twisted and turned in her arms, refusing to give in:
"Mom, how can you laugh at me!"
Jiang was so annoyed by Linghua that she had no choice but to comfort her softly:
"Mother is not laughing at you. Even if you are really born of jealousy, mother still likes you! My dear Linghua, please stop twisting your waist. You are going to break my old waist!"
As the saying goes, money is a person's courage.
Maybe it was because of Xia Daohua's gold ingot, but the life of the fourth branch of the Xia family became more and more comfortable. Xia Youtian was not only busy with farm work, but also took over the heavy work such as carrying water for the family.
Rika and Goro took on most of the lighter housework.
Rice flowers and water chestnut flowers can also help out and lend a hand.
Jiang only took care of those tasks that Lihua didn't know how to do or couldn't do, and spent most of the rest of her time and energy on embroidery.
Jiang's embroidery work was already quite good, and Xia Daohua would often casually suggest new patterns to her. Inspired by this, Jiang made a few slight innovations, which greatly satisfied the embroidery studio, which even took the initiative to raise the price for the work.
Although each small item, such as a handkerchief or purse, only cost three or five copper coins, Jiang was still deeply encouraged and worked harder to come up with new ideas.
During this period of time, Jiang saved up the money she earned from embroidery and had enough to make four or five strings of silk. She was so happy that she made New Year's clothes for her family.
She went to the cloth shop and bought a few feet of soaked cloth. She picked out the best parts and made a set of New Year's clothes for Xia Youtian. She skillfully cut, spliced and mended the remaining scraps of cloth to make a short shirt for Wulang and an eight-panel skirt for Lihua.
When it came to rice flowers and water chestnuts, Jiang had no more materials.
She pondered for a long time, took out a set of her old clothes, altered them, and made a delicate and small new dress for Linghua. She also thoughtfully embroidered a few small flowers fluttering in the wind on it.
As for Daohua, this girl has such a great idea!
If she holds on to the gold and refuses to let go, I might as well not give it to her!
Jiang didn't make new clothes for herself.
She felt a little sad about buying the water-soaked cloth. She felt it was unnecessary to buy new cloth since it was not the New Year or any other festival.
Seeing that Xia Daohua was the only one without new clothes to wear, Rika Goro and Ryoka couldn't help but come to comfort her.
Xia Daohua didn't care.
Jiang didn't make new clothes for herself! Besides, in this era, a child like her who dared to disobey her parents would be punished lightly, not to mention not having new clothes made for her.
But even though Jiang turned the house upside down and was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, she was still reluctant to use the feather duster on her.
Based on this point alone, Xia Daohua felt that Jiang was a good mother.
Instead of getting angry, Xia Daohua became even more enthusiastic about figuring out how to make money.
However, although she didn't dare drag wild animals like wolves back home again, when the ban on controlling the children at home was relaxed, Xia Daohua ran to the grove halfway up the mountain several times.
She dug some herbs, caught a few rabbits, and picked some mushrooms.
However, except for the rabbit, everything else can only be exchanged for a small amount of money.
But even so, it was enough for Jiang and Xia Youtian to feel their child's filial piety.
Daohua is a good kid in every way now, except for her only shortcoming, which is that she is too opinionated.
Alas, nothing in this world is perfect.
Before Daohua fell, she was obedient, but she was too timid. Now she is brave, but unfortunately she is not obedient anymore...
After thinking it over, the couple decided that the current situation was better. At least, when their parents were not around, they didn't have to worry about Daohua being wronged by others and not knowing how to tell others when she came back.
The days now seem particularly promising. If the rice flowers could be more obedient, it would be perfect!
Everyone works together every day, the work in the fields is equally difficult, and the things at home are equally trivial.
But only the fourth brother and his wife smiled so hard that their teeth were showing.
It was okay for others, but Sun from the second house felt particularly displeased with Jiang.
In addition, Wu from the third room also didn't like to talk to Sun anymore. Maybe it was because no one had quarreled with her for too long and she felt lonely. In short, Sun started to attack Jiang.
"Old Fourth, I thought you were a kind person, but I didn't expect you to be a treacherous person!"
Jiang looked confused: "Me? When did I offend you? Second sister-in-law, did you catch firecrackers? Or are you angry so early in the morning that you are using me as a drum to beat?"
