Second Aunt's face lit up immediately, and before she could even stretch out her chopsticks, Chang Xixi's chopsticks grabbed hers. "Wait a minute, Second Aunt, you can eat. The eggs are two cents each, and the labor fee is one cent, so you have to pay me three cents in total."
After saying that, Chang Xixi spread out her palms, meaning she wanted money!
Second Aunt was so angry that her face turned red. She threw down her chopsticks and went out for a walk.
Dou Shi couldn't bear it, "Xixi, Second Aunt is your uncle's wife after all, and she has been in our family for decades. It's just an egg."
"Mom, don't you know what kind of people they are? I'm afraid we have to give them some help even if we have to drink cold water. Don't worry about this! They were used to bullying us in the past." With her around, the Chang family will no longer be bullied by the second branch.

"Do you have any money? Otherwise, I'll go with you."
"No money, no thanks."
Gu Rongyu's pretty face was full of sincerity, honesty and frankness, which made Chang Xixi's heart tremble. Good looks are good.
She generously gave him a penny of silver and four copper coins, asking him to go and come back early, and not to look at those girls on the road, in case they were kidnapped.
People from the same village heard this and laughed at her for being so strict.
Chang Xixi just smiled and went back to see her second brother. Dou had carried Chang Hai out and was sitting on a chair basking in the sun and peeling corn.
"I sent them away." The second brother spoke cheerfully, touching his leg. "Xixi, the doctor you found for me has found some solution. My leg is no longer numb and painful. I should be able to walk in a few days."
