After all, Liu didn't believe that this was done by Lady Huaishu.
In Liu's opinion, in this matter, the Xia family was most likely just looking for some gangsters to help them pretend to be gods and fool the world.
The most important thing is that Liu didn't think that Erlang, a country boy, could have such importance that she could let the Locust Tree Goddess cry out for him. Without saying a word, she appeared in front of everyone.
However, these can be put aside.
Liu would never take the initiative to explain the difficulties of the fourth house!
Since Sun was willing to make a fuss, Liu didn't mind joining in the fun. If this commotion could get her a piece of the pie from the Fourth House, then her trip wouldn't be in vain!
To be honest, Sun really lived up to 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!
Although the five fingers are of different lengths, they are all born by their parents. But ours is the second branch, and was picked up from that grave circle!
I gave birth to a son and raised him with great difficulty, yet he was instigated by others and his heart is alienated from mine!
The man's hands were sore from handling all the silver that he just threw a few copper coins to send him away, but he still thought he was a kind-hearted person!
You even hid it from me along 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 become 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 expressions of these brothers all looked unhappy.
Wu from the third house had a look of deep disdain on her face, and it was hard to describe it. She probably felt that she had lowered her status by clashing with Sun so many times in the past.
Cheng's eyes sparkled, one eyebrow raised, and the corner of her mouth turned up slightly, 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 bit 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 stubbornly shook off Erlang's hand:
"Get away from me! You were sold off and still help others count the money. I'm talking about you! Your mother stood up for you, and you still come here to pretend to be a good person!"
Erlang 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 fourth aunt's sister-in-law.
My fourth uncle and aunt are also working for others, so what they say doesn’t count!
I'm just helping out here, running errands and lifting things. Uncle and Auntie 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 aunt are trying to help me and give me money.
Even if they don't give me a cent, my uncle and aunt asked me to lend a hand, how can I not help them? "
Sun stiffened his neck:
"Don't try to fill me with these nice-sounding words!
If you can't get married, who in this house is not responsible?
Another thing is, 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 fourth uncle and aunt by other restaurants be less?
Even if your fourth uncle and aunt don't care about anything, based on their contribution, how can they earn less? Only you, a fool, dare to believe that nonsense!
People have deceived you, you silly boy, and you are so stunned!
Yet you are so devoted to them, you won't listen to anyone's advice, and instead you say all the good things for them!"
Erlang was speechless. He couldn't tell others that he had taken the dividends.
Otherwise, the dividend money would fall into the hands of Sun and Xia Yougui.
Especially Xia Yougui, when he saw the silver, it was like a mosquito seeing blood, there was no way he would let it go.
However, if I don't speak up about this, Sun will continue to make a fuss 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 all sorts of nonsense?
Erlang got married a little late.
But let's be honest, weren't you the one who found fault with all the families our mother introduced to Erlang and rejected them one by one?
This family has a daughter who is sought after by hundreds of families. It is obvious that our family does not like her. But her daughter still refuses to marry and is just waiting here for you to come back to her. What's wrong with that?
The ones you secretly like all ask for high bride prices.
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 with her.
But considering the trouble he had caused in trying to match Lihua and Dai Sanlang a few days ago, he felt too embarrassed to blame the fourth wife.
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 just too soft-hearted. That's why Second Sister-in-law has such a domineering temper. She simply can't contain her anger the moment she sees Fourth Brother and his wife.
In our village, apart from other things, there are so many young boys who are a few years younger than Erlang and a few years older than Sanlang!
For a copper a day, there are plenty of people willing to do this errand job."
Although Cheng Shi didn't know that Erlang's job was more than just running errands, she could guess it with her keen eyes. But this didn't stop her from downplaying the matter.
It is impossible to say that you have no thoughts when you see silver.
But since Xia Daohua had saved Liu Lang's life before, Cheng had 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 related to Liu Lang.
Giving some food on a daily basis is just a small token of my appreciation. How can I ever repay such a kindness?
