Chapter 180 It's none of your business

Niu Xianhua was humiliated and her face drooped.

Aunt Jinhua was not used to her and continued:

"Besides, Yumei's daughter is so promising and filial, why would she need to pick up your unwanted straw sandals to wear?"

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I forgot that your Qingling is still in the city. Yumei, if you are really short of money, you can call your daughter to buy two pairs of mail." Niu Xianhua, who had just been rebuked, tried her best to save face and said along with Aunt Jinhua's words. After she finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to think of something and continued with a smile on her face:

"Oh, but it's not cheap to make phone calls. Hey, let me tell you, it's better for my daughter to marry closer to her. Marrying into the city sounds nice, but it's useless. Just say Qing Ning. She can't come back even once a year. I understand that she is busy, but I don't know. I think she has forgotten her roots and is unfilial.

My Zhaodi and Laidi are different. Marrying close can always help us. Look, these are the eggplants I just picked from our Zhaodi. Do you want to take some and try them?" He said and held out the dustpan pretendingly.

Listening to Niu Xianhua constantly belittling herself, Guo Yumei was already used to her flaunting personality and didn't want to argue with her, but when she heard her making random accusations against her daughter, Guo Yumei's face suddenly turned cold.

She suddenly reached out and took several eggplants from Niu Xianhua's dustpan and put them directly into Aunt Jinhua's basket, then smiled and said to Aunt Jinhua:

"Since Xianhua is so generous, Jinhua, don't be polite, take them and eat them."

Niu Xianhua looked at the fresh eggplants that were taken away, and her face changed unconsciously. She was just being polite just now, but she didn't expect Guo Yumei to really take them!

She had not picked many to begin with, and Guo Yumei had taken away the longest and best ones. She felt painful seeing that, but she had already said it, and now it was not appropriate for her to ask Jinhua to return them to her. Just as she was feeling sorry for her eggplants, she heard Guo Yumei say beside her:

"You can keep the others for yourself, I don't want them..."

At this time, Aunt Jinhua also laughed and said along with Guo Yumei:

"That's right, Yumei's family is going to the city soon, and we can't eat them even if we take them, and it would be a pity if they go bad." After that, she reached out to Niu Xianhua's winnowing basket and took a few eggs, saying:

"Then give me the ones you gave her."

In fact, Aunt Jinhua didn't want Niu Xianhua's eggplants, she just wanted her to eat a little. Who told her to be so vicious just now?

Seeing that there were only a few crooked eggplants left in the winnowing basket, and hearing that Guo Yumei was going to the city, Niu Xianhua was jealous and angry. At this time, Aunt Jinhua beside her did not forget to continue to add insult to injury:

"Yumei is going to enjoy her life now. Her son-in-law is a military officer, her daughter is filial, and now they are going to take her and her family to the city to play. This blessing is not something that everyone has."

Niu Xianhua, who was dumbfounded, felt that she was outdone by Guo Yumei when she heard this, and her face was a little uncontrollable.

Although she said that she looked down on people in the city, she was very yearning for it in her heart.

When she was young, she was inferior to Guo Yumei in everything. Fortunately, when she was middle-aged, Guo Yumei's husband died, her son became lame, and her daughter was not "filial". She finally got to be proud of her in front of her for a while. Now that she is old, she is suppressed by Guo Yumei again. How can she bear it in her heart?

When poking someone, you have to poke their sore spot. Niu Xianhua, who couldn't bear to see Guo Yumei live better than herself, knew Guo Yumei's sore spot best. She smiled with a sinister smile:

"Hey, are you going to the city?" After saying that, she looked at Xia Qingshu on the side and deliberately asked: "Qingshu is going too?"

Aunt Jinhua knew that Niu Xianhua asked this question deliberately to embarrass Qingshu, so she immediately helped him out:

"Didn't I just say it? The whole family is going."

"Oh, I think Qingshu should not go." Niu Xianhua smiled and narrowed her eyes, looking at Xia Qingshu meaningfully and said.

"Why can't my brother go?" Xia Qingcao, who had been standing by and had not said anything, heard what Niu Xianhua said and knew that she was deliberately humiliating her brother, so she immediately stood up to defend him.

"Aren't I concerned about him? His legs..." Niu Xianhua paused here deliberately, then looked at Xia Qingshu and asked with a smile:

"Can he walk?"

Xia Qingshu's face turned pale when he was asked. He didn't say anything and tried hard to stand up straight, trying to use this to fight back at those who looked down on him, but it was in vain. His uneven shoulders were like a life being pulled down by an invisible hand, and he would never be able to be on par with others.

Seeing her son being humiliated like this, Guo Yumei felt distressed and angry. She was about to speak when her younger son suddenly stepped forward and blocked his elder brother with his thin body. He said to Niu Xianhua rudely,

"What do you care!" Then he said firmly, "If he can't walk, I'll carry him!"

"How can you talk to your elders, kid?" Niu Xianhua was naturally unhappy and said in a rough duck voice,

"Isn't it because of your sister? She is a city dweller now and cares about face. You said your brother is a cripple and it's so embarrassing to follow her. Didn't your sister not let you go because she was afraid of embarrassment?"

"You are the cripple! Your whole family is crippled!" Xia Qingcao yelled. His face was flushed with anger. He immediately retorted:

"You are talking nonsense. My sister is not that kind of person!"

"Whether I am talking nonsense or not, you know it better than me. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Maybe they just ask you to play as a polite remark." Niu Xianhua tried her best to stimulate Xia Qingcao with words, and then looked at the aunts around her, brainwashing them and saving her face:

"In fact, people in the city hate being disturbed by these poor relatives the most. So we still have to recognize our own identity and don't rush to put our warm faces on other people's cold butts."

After hearing what Niu Xianhua said, the faces of Guo Yumei, her mother and her two sons all changed.

"Niu Xianhua, stop talking nonsense. Aren't you jealous of Yumei because she's living a better life than you? I think you're just jealous of sour grapes. If someone asks you to go to the city, you'll run faster than your dog."

Aunt Jinhua saw through Niu Xianhua's thoughts very clearly, and pointed out Niu Xianhua's thoughts. Then she turned to look at Guo Yumei and comforted her,

"Yumei, ignore her. You and your family can go there without worry. I'll feed the rabbits and take care of the house for you. Have fun for a few more days." After that, she took Guo Yumei's hand and showed it to everyone,

"Look, Yumei's hands had a lot of cracks before, but they're all healed now. They were all made of the hand cream her family Qingling bought for her. I just asked her to bring some back. If anyone wants any, you can pay first and ask Yumei to bring a bottle back for you."

After hearing what Aunt Jinhua said, the aunties nearby all leaned over curiously to look, and indeed saw that Guo Yumei's hands were no longer cracked. They all surrounded her and said in unison:

"It really works. I remember that Yumei's hands used to have a lot of cracks."

"Is it expensive? Bring me a bottle, and I'll go home and get you the money later."

"I heard that the silk scarves in the city are very beautiful, Yumei, if you have time, can you bring me one?"

Niu Xianhua looked at everyone surrounding Guo Yumei, and felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't want to give up just like that, and deliberately looked at Xia Qingshu Xiluo and said:

"Qingshu, I heard that your previous girlfriend...what was her name, oh, Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu...isn't she also in the city? You said you were going there, and it would be so embarrassing to run into her."

"It's none of your business!"

Looking at the fat Niu Xianhua, Guo Yumei and Xia Qingcao retorted in unison.
