Xia Daohua chose a very good topic and easily diverted the subject.
Unfortunately, Jiang quickly came to her senses:
"Rice Flower, 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 heartily: "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 on 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 soothed her, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I'll tell her off 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. Every day she could keep it a secret counted.
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 distributed in the blink of an eye, and he didn't even get a single bite. If it weren't for Daohua's insistence, he probably wouldn't have had any share 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 the rice flowers were used instead.
Wulang felt that after Daohua recovered from her injury, she acted very differently. She became bolder, more decisive, and always put her family first. But he welcomed 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 throw herself into Jiang's arms:
"Mom, you don't even care about Linghua!"
Jiang said angrily, "You little heartless boy, you're 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 pestered 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 body. You are almost breaking my old waist!"
As the saying goes, money is a person's courage.
Perhaps it was because of Xia Daohua's gold ingot, but the fourth branch of the Xia family lived a more comfortable life day by day. Xia Youtian was not only busy with farm work, but also took on heavy work like carrying water for the family.
Rika and Goro took on most of the lighter housework.
Rice flowers and water lilies can also help out and lend a hand.
Jiang only took care of the chores 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 skills were 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 workshop. They 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, 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 several feet of water-soaked cloth. She picked out the best pieces and made Xia Youtian a new year shirt. She skillfully cut, pieced, and mended the remaining scraps to make a short shirt for Wulang and an eight-panel skirt for Lihua.
When it came to rice flowers and water lilies, 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 keeps holding on to the gold, I might as well not do it for her!
Jiang didn't make any 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 Shi didn't even make new clothes 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.
But even though Jiang turned the house upside down and was furious, she still couldn't bear 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 no longer dared to drag wild beasts like wolves back home, Xia Daohua ran to the grove halfway up the mountain several times when the ban on controlling the children at home was relaxed.
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 appreciate their child's filial piety.
Daohua is a good kid in every way now. Her only shortcoming 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 braver, but unfortunately she is not obedient anymore...
After much thought, the couple decided that the current situation was a bit better. At least, when their parents were not around, they didn't have to worry about Daohua getting hurt and not knowing how to tell her when she got home.
These days seem especially promising. If only 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 was 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 argued 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 such a treacherous person!"
Jiang looked bewildered. "Me? When did I ever offend you? Second sister-in-law, did you catch a firecracker? Or are you just mad at me this morning and using me as a drum?"
