"What did you say?" Zhou grabbed Xia Daohua's arm tightly again. Xia Daohua's tears fell "swish". This time, there was no help from Green Mustard. It was purely because of the pain, physiological tears.
"Hiss...it hurts! Grandma, please let go, it hurts so much!"
Zhou softened her grip on Xia Daohua, but didn't let go. Embracing a glimmer of hope, she turned to Lihua:
"Rice Flower's explanation is unclear, Lihua, you speak."
Lihua saw the complex emotions of doubt, disbelief, anger, etc. in Zhou's eyes. Lihua lowered her head and calmed down.
Afterwards, she raised her head with a determined look, but tears were faintly in her eyes, about to fall:
"This morning, while we were still half asleep, we heard a scream coming from Jinhua's room. It wasn't a good noise, it was like a pig being slaughtered..."
Lihua recounted the entire process in detail. Tears streamed down her face as she spoke, but her voice remained firm, clear, steady, and powerful, covering almost every detail.
It was much clearer than what Xia Daohua said, and Zhou could understand it clearly.
Zhou even felt a hint of regret, wishing she hadn't asked so carefully.
Now, she could no longer lie to herself and say that she had misheard; or she could not say that Xia Daohua was just a child who did not know the seriousness of the matter and was talking nonsense.
There really was something shameful happening in the old family that made them embarrassed to face the public.
Moreover, this scandal was a retribution from God.
Their family originally planned to plot against Lihua, but they didn't expect that Lihua would escape the disaster by mistake, while the eldest brother's family would suffer retribution immediately.
In an instant, Zhou seemed to have aged more than ten years and became listless.
Xia Daohua opened her mouth and then closed it again.
She wanted to persuade Zhou to be more open-minded and not get angry, but then she changed her mind and thought, if she were in Zhou's shoes... not to mention getting angry, she would probably even have the urge to kill someone.
Xia Daohua shook her head. She didn't intend to care about this matter anymore.
Of course, if Lihua wants revenge, she will help without hesitation.
But she would not interfere in the lawsuit between Mr. Xia, Zhou and the first wife.
She didn't intend to say anything about how the old couple planned to deal with the eldest wife or whether they would cut ties with her.
The old couple had suffered such a great shock, and it was uncertain whether their bodies could hold up. She had to make preparations in advance and prepare a set of first aid medicines and other things.
As for the couple in the fourth room, we haven't received any news yet.
When they find out that the eldest wife was plotting against Lihua and ended up getting her own family involved, I wonder what their expressions will be?
Xia Daohua believed that although the couple in the fourth room were kind people, they would not be so cruel as to remain indifferent when their own daughter was plotted against.
Although the plan failed, it was not because the eldest wife had a change of heart and stopped on her own initiative, but because Lihua was lucky to have a special sister like her.
Xia Youtian went to work in the fields, and Jiang and Xia Yujiao went to the fields together to deliver food.
Originally, the old couple did not plan to let Jiang go to deliver meals, but Jiang was a person who could not sit still. This was mainly because she was used to working on weekdays, and she was very tired from taking care of the pregnancy during this period.
Delivering meals was not a tiring job, and with Xia Yujiao going with them, the old couple finally gave in and agreed to let Jiang go with them.
So at this moment, the couple in the fourth room still didn't know that their two daughters had been wronged.
What will they do when they hear about this?
Xia Daohua is really a bit curious.
But her mentality is somewhat like that of an outsider.
Mrs. Zhou, Old Man Xia, and Lihua all truly felt the pain of being betrayed and hurt by their loved ones, but Xia Daohua found it difficult to empathize with them.
Her "pain" can only be expressed with the help of green mustard!
The anger and injustice are real.
This day felt exceptionally long for every member of the Xia family because of the sudden bad news.
What Xia Daohua and the others didn't know was that after they left, the troubles of the Xia family's eldest branch did not end, but instead escalated.
After the initial chaos, Zhu was the first to calm down.
She first asked Jinhua to help her mother-in-law Liu and Dai Sanlang put on clothes, and then she politely persuaded the Dai sisters, who were even more frightened than her, to stay and let them sit down.
He went out and asked a familiar neighbor to send a message to Songxi Academy, saying only that Xia Youcai had a sudden illness and was unconscious, and asked Xia Dalang to go home quickly. He didn't say anything else.
After settling her family members, Zhu went to the clinic and asked a doctor she knew to treat the unconscious Xia Youcai.
When Xia Dalang received the news and asked for leave from the dean, he rushed home from Songxi Academy in a panic. However, Xia Youcai had already been rescued by the doctor using acupuncture.
Unfortunately, Xia Youcai was so shocked that he suffered a stroke.
Although he was rescued and regained consciousness, he was unable to speak and half of his body was paralyzed.
Seeing Xia Youcai's appearance and the sad faces of his family members, Xia Dalang of course had to ask what was going on.
With a look of uneasiness on her face, Zhu leaned close to Xia Dalang's ear and whispered the whole story, focusing on the important points, and recounted it in detail.
After hearing this, Xia Dalang could hardly believe his ears. He first glared at Zhu, then stared at Dai Sanlang, Liu, and Jinhua with wide eyes. Seeing that they did not dare to look at him, he knew that what Zhu had just said was probably true.
Xia Dalang was so angry that his hands and mouth were shaking, and he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.
He finally managed to steady himself, suppressed his anger, and walked up to Dai Sanlang.
When Dai Sanlang saw Xia Dalang, he couldn't help but shrink back.
At first, he was secretly happy when he thought he had slept with Lihua.
Because I had drunk a lot of wine before and did it in the dark, I didn't understand why "Lihua"'s body was much slimmer and fuller than I remembered.
He was woken up in the morning by the screams and cries of Liu and Jinhua. He thought they were expressing their dissatisfaction with him sleeping with Lihua.
I still feel that they obviously intended to arrange for Lihua to sleep with him, so why are they pretending to be innocent now?
But when he realized that the target of his successful attack in the dark yesterday was not Lihua, but Liu, he was completely shocked by this unexpected result.
After Xia Youcai fell into coma, Dai Sanlang breathed a sigh of relief.
But when facing Xia Dalang, he suddenly felt as if he was shorter than him.
Xia Dalang walked up to Dai Sanlang, raised his hands and grabbed his neck. He used both hands to squeeze Dai Sanlang so hard that he couldn't breathe and rolled his eyes. "Ahem, let me go, let me go, ahem...ah...ah...ahem..."
