"Are the rice flowers not fully recovered yet?" Liu asked with concern.
"No! Sister-in-law, you don't know!"
When Sun mentioned this, her voice became uncontrollably sharp and high-pitched, but before she could finish her words, she was hit by the elbow of the second son Xia Yougui, and she stopped talking awkwardly.
The fifth daughter-in-law Cheng smiled and said:
"Sister-in-law, go ask Yinhua how Daohua fell. Once we find the culprit, we can find someone to pay for her medical expenses!"
Liu rolled her eyes. "If Yinhua knew, she would have told me long ago! How could you be the one to think of this?"
Although she said this, Liu was actually very unsure in her heart.
The day Daohua was injured happened to be the day when Feng Juren, a wealthy landlord in the village, married his daughter.
Xia Youcai specifically asked for leave from the restaurant owner and returned to the village with Liu, intending to help the Feng family with the wedding.
Dalang was studying at Songxi Academy. Songxi Academy had strict management and did not allow students to take leave easily. So Liu only brought back her two daughters, Jinhua and Yinhua.
I don't know why it's so small!
When Daohua fell on the edge of the well, Yinhua and a little girl named Huiping from the village were both there.
Daohua fell and broke her head, and blood was flowing out. The two little girls were shocked.
Yinhua ran back home, said nothing, threw herself into Liu's arms, and cried with red eyes.
After asking twice and failing to get the answer, Liu lost her patience and told Jinhua to coax her sister.
Jinhua took out some old hairbands and silk flowers from her dressing box and coaxed Yinhua into picking out two. It didn't take long before she had coaxed Yinhua into picking them out.
After that, Liu put the matter behind her and didn't take it seriously at all.
Who would have thought that after Huiping got over her fear, she called on the villagers to come and save Daohua.
When the villagers saw Daohua's pale face and bleeding appearance, no one dared to touch her! They hurried to Xia's house to report the news.
When the Xia family received the news, they were thrown into chaos.
Especially the useless Jiang, she cried so hard that she fell to the ground.
Old Madam Zhou was able to hold on. However, after applying two handfuls of wood ash to Daohua and even burning a handful of her hair to ashes failed to stop the bleeding, Old Madam Zhou began to panic.
At the time, some elderly people said that Daohua was probably dead. Not only had she lost so much blood, and the bleeding wouldn't stop, she was probably beyond saving.
He also told Jiang and Xia Youtian to be more open-minded and start preparing for the funeral as soon as possible.
With such a thing happening at home, Mr. Feng couldn't help but feel that it was unlucky.
No matter how much he tried to persuade her, she would not let Jinhua go to marry his daughter. She also refused to let Liu, the "perfectly blessed woman" with both sons and daughters, and with both parents and parents-in-law alive, become his wife.
When mentioning this incident, Liu couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Daohua.
This child, isn't he a jinx?
Mr. Feng, how difficult is it to talk to him on a daily basis? I finally got a chance to establish some friendship with him, but it was ruined by this damn girl!
Why didn't she just die?
However, Liu could only keep these thoughts in her heart, and she dared not speak them out loud. If she dared to speak them out, not only would everyone in the fourth room resent her, but even the old couple would be angry with her.
At that time, Daohua was dying and it was clear that she could not be saved. However, Zhou was so angry that she scolded the old man who had instructed the fourth room and his wife to prepare for her funeral.
Then, Zhou asked Old Man Xia to drive the carriage borrowed from the headman's house to deliver the rice flowers to Puji Hall in the town.
Not only did Zhou follow him in person, she also generously took out some silver.
Jiang also went with them, but she just cried from beginning to end. When it was her turn to take the money, she couldn't even fart.
This pest, rice flowers, are really lucky.
Doctor Wang is someone that not many people can invite. He only sees patients three times in Pujitang in a month, and she unexpectedly caught up with him!
Liu took several deep breaths before she finally suppressed her resentment towards Daohua.
Fortunately, Xia Youtian has always kept his eyes focused.
While speaking, he only looked at his elder brother and never glanced at his elder sister-in-law's face.
The always perceptive old lady Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to her, but was busy paying attention to her granddaughter-in-law Zhu's belly.
Liu suddenly changed her mind and began to resent Huiping again.
Who asked her to meddle in other people's business? She ended up making Yinhua look so heartless!
Yinhua's reputation was ruined, and Jinhua, as her biological sister, was inevitably implicated.
Things haven't been going smoothly recently when arranging a marriage for Jinhua!
Liu had a vague suspicion that several wealthy families who had originally been interested in Jinhua had all backed off, fearing that it had something to do with Yinhua's behavior when Daohua was injured.
After all, it’s all the fault of that unlucky Daohua!
When Liu thought of this, she couldn't help but feel so angry that her teeth were itching.
She struggled to suppress the irritation in her heart, put on a smiling face again, and tried her best to entertain her mother-in-law and several difficult sisters-in-law.
Especially the Sun and Wu families.
She said nice things, but in fact, every word she said was secretly mocking herself, hiding in the town to enjoy the good life and refusing to go back to the village to serve the elderly with them.
In fact, Mr. Xia and Mrs. Zhou are both in good health, so why do they need anyone to serve them?
They are just jealous that they can live in the town!
Liu responded with a hum and a haw, and exchanged words with Sun and Wu.
Cheng would occasionally interject a few words nonchalantly. One might not normally notice, but this fifth son's wife was quite skilled at fanning the flames.
But Jiang never showed up again. Ever since she sent Daohua away, she never came back.
Liu thought of Daohua's overly pale face and couldn't help but hold on to a faint hope - if something really happened to that jinx, she could vent her anger!
The fourth family was unaware of Liu's hostility.
At this moment, Jiang had already entered the kitchen and started preparing dinner.
Xia Daohua had a bad impression of the eldest wife from the beginning. Now she was gathered with Lihua, Linghua and Wulang, carefully reconstructing the scene of the accident.
"So, Yinhua and Huiping were the only ones who saw it?"
"That should be the case, but Yinhua came back and didn't say anything! I will remember her for the rest of my life!" Lihua said bitterly, "When I think about it now, I get scared! If it weren't for Huiping, our Daohua might be..."
Lihua couldn't continue speaking, her eyes were filled with tears.
She raised her head and blinked back the tears.
"If Daohua doesn't survive, I'll throw Yinhua into the well!"
Xia Daohua was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to cover Lihua's hand: "Sister..."
