In her heart, Liu really wanted to refuse.
But the words of refusal were on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't say them out loud.
She noticed Lihua's expression.
Obviously, the appearance of rice flowers gave pear flowers a very convenient excuse.
If Liu refused Xia Daohua's request to go with her, Lihua might take this opportunity to back out. She might even go all out and turn against Liu and refuse to go back to town with her.
After all, Lihua was reluctant at first. It was only after Zhou spoke that Lihua reluctantly agreed.
Therefore, no matter how unwilling Liu was, she had to agree.
But, Liu really had no idea.
She always felt that with Xia Daohua as the unlucky star, things might not go so smoothly.
Liu hesitated for a long time, but in front of everyone, she finally gritted her teeth and agreed.
Seeing that Liu looked reluctant, Jiang felt a little uncomfortable.
Then he said to Xia Daohua:
"Daohua, don't be so naive. Lihua is going to help your elder sister. What can you do there?
If you go, won't you just cause trouble for your aunt? "
Lihua said with a smile:
"Mom, my aunt didn't object, why do you still have to restrain Daohua?
Besides, Daohua has always been a sensible person. Even if she goes to stay at her uncle's house for a few days, it's just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks to the dinner table. How much trouble can it be?
How could my aunt-in-law not be able to afford to feed Daohua?
Besides, if Daohua doesn't go, then I won't go either. Anyway, I just love Daohua's little appearance. I feel uncomfortable if I don't see her for a day."
Jiang was so angry at Lihua that she laughed and scolded:
"You kid, it's so rare that you can help your sister Jinhua a little bit, and you still take advantage of Qiao! You deserve a beating! You deserve a beating!"
When Liu saw this scene, she felt it was extremely dazzling. The smile on her face instantly became very forced, and even her cheeks froze.
Zhou also knew Liu's temperament very well.
Seeing that Daohua wanted to go, Liu was obviously not happy, but she still agreed. Zhou originally thought that Liu had made progress, and she felt a little relieved.
Seeing that Liu's expression was not right, Zhou also felt a little unhappy.
He raised his eyelids and nodded at Liu:
"These two little girls from the old family are usually smart, filial and sensible, and have always been my favorite.
It would be nice if you took them to town to stay for a few days.
But there are all kinds of people in this town, so it might not be that safe.
As little kids, they inevitably like to play and want to go out and play from time to time.
I'm handing them over to you, you have to protect them for me!
If I get hurt, or if I get hurt by someone outside, or even if a hair falls off... I won't look for anyone else, I'll only look for you!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu's jaw almost dropped in shock.
She never dreamed that Zhou would think of this. Could it be that she had let something slip in her behavior?
No, that's not right!
Zhou was probably just worried about their safety when they were outside, afraid that they would encounter something while shopping, so she was just warning herself in advance.
However, since Zhou has said this, if Jinhua’s plan really succeeds, won’t Zhou tear her to pieces alive?
Liu couldn't help but shudder.
But she really couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock in Jinhua's situation.
Since the idea was proposed by Xia Youcai, and the details and excuses were thought up by Jinhua, she just had to obey and do her job.
Even if Zhou really lost her temper, she would still have Xia Youcai to stop her. Even if Xia Youcai was unreliable, she still had Xia Dalang, a good son who had the potential to become an official.
Could it be that Dalang is unable to protect himself?
At most, I would lose face in front of my sisters-in-law and suffer some hardships, but it would not be a serious injury.
As long as Jinhua can be helped out of her predicament and Dai Sanlang can be captured, all of the Dai family's wealth will be under Jinhua's control in the future.
By then, even if Xia Youcai couldn’t find a proper job, he wouldn’t be afraid!
With her motherly love for Jinhua and her greed for gold, Liu's eyes sparkled for a moment.
Xia Daohua had been observing her closely for a while. The more she observed, the more she felt that Liu had invited Lihua to stay with her for some ulterior motive.
However, no matter what her plan was, since I had followed her, how could I let her succeed?
Liu's eyes sparkled, and with a sincere smile on her face, she said to Lihua and Daohua:
"It's getting late now, both of you should pack up and follow me back!"
Seeing them rushing so hastily, Jiang couldn't help but feel sorry for the child, so she began to sincerely persuade Liu to stay:
"Sister-in-law, why are you so anxious?
It's almost dark, and it's not safe for you to rush to town at night!
Even if we set out now, it would be dark by the time we reached the town. We wouldn't be able to see clearly under the oil lamp, and it would be difficult to do our work.
It would be better to have a good meal tonight and stay at home quietly.
"At worst, you can just get up early tomorrow. Walk under the stars, and the sky will get brighter as you go. By the time you get to town, it will be bright, and Lihua can get right to work."
Jiang was usually a man of few words, but it was rare for her to speak so long in one breath, and what she said was quite reasonable. Zhou couldn't help but look at Jiang in surprise, which made Jiang's cheeks flush. She looked away and said in a faint agreement:
“What the fourth family said makes sense.
Mr. Lao, you are already old, there is no need to be so panic when encountering things.
Stay at home tonight. Get up two hours early tomorrow and you'll have everything you need. Even if you have to walk to town, it'll be enough."
Since Zhou said so, no matter how anxious Liu was, she had to endure it.
The next morning, when the rooster crowed for the first time, Liu got up, washed up quickly, and went to the fourth room to urge Lihua and Daohua to come.
Seeing Liu so anxious, Xia Daohua felt that this matter was not simple.
Lihua also realized it. She snorted coldly and deliberately slowed down her movements, which were usually very quick, making Liu even more anxious.
Liu secretly hated him and could not help but secretly swear: "Little bitch! Just wait! When I find out what I did wrong, I will show you how I will deal with you!"
Lihua was used to being diligent, and even though she felt she had slowed down her movements a lot, her speed was actually about the same as that of an average person.
So without delaying for long, Liu, Lihua and Xia Daohua went out together and walked towards the town.
Starting from the gate of the old Xia family compound, Liu walked quickly all the way to the village entrance. She was already sweating slightly, and even her inner clothes were a little wet.
Seeing that Lihua and Xia Daohua didn't seem to be struggling at all, Liu couldn't help but grit her teeth and cursed inwardly:
"A pair of little bitches! Peasants! Their bodies are stronger than donkeys!"
