Upon hearing Gu Jindan's words, the expressions of the others in the courtyard changed noticeably. Especially Liu Chun, the mother of Daya and Erya, whose already worried face became even more somber at this moment.
Only Xu Honglian had a look of smugness and anger on her face.
She was proud because both of the Gu family's precious grandsons had come from her womb; she was a heroine of the Gu family. Naturally, she was furious that her beloved children had their candy stolen by those two brats, Daya and Erya, who were considered worthless.
How could I possibly tolerate this?
Xu Honglian rolled up her sleeves and unleashed a torrent of abuse on the two children.
"Hey, Da Ya and Er Ya, you two are the older sisters, how can you be so inconsiderate? You don't even know how to take care of my Jin Dan and Bao Dan, and you even dare to steal their candy?"
"Do you even know what shame is? You're so young, how can you be so greedy? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to find a husband when you grow up?"
Because Gu Jianhua and He Meizhu hadn't returned yet, Xu Honglian had no inhibitions at home, so she could say these hurtful things without hesitation.
Liu Chun, standing to the side, was so ashamed she was almost crying. She lowered her head and walked a few steps to Da Ya and Er Ya, reaching out to pinch their shoulders. "How can you two be so insensible? How could you snatch your brother's candy? Give the candy back to him!"
Da Ya and Er Ya flinched as they were pinched, and when they looked up, their eyes were full of tears.
"Mother, we didn't steal it from him."
"Yes, my aunt gave each of us one. They ate them all and then wanted ours."
The two sisters, Daya and Erya, were thin and bony, dressed in tattered clothes, and explained with tears in their eyes.
Liu Chun wouldn't listen, and neither would Xu Honglian. They crossed their arms, determined to get the two children to give her, to give her precious golden egg, an explanation.
At the same time, she also wanted to make Lu Huaijiao, the newlywed daughter-in-law, understand that in the Gu family, all the good things were reserved for the golden egg.
Lu Huaijiao, who had been silent all along, met Xu Honglian's smug expression and then glanced at Liu Chun wiping away tears. She suddenly let out a cold laugh.
He grabbed Da Ya and Er Ya and pulled them behind him.
He coldly watched Gu Jindan rolling on the ground.
"You little rascal..."
Lu Huaijiao couldn't possibly call him Golden Egg or Treasure Egg. Just look at the appearance of this little brat, Golden Egg. He was filthy, as if he had just crawled out of a cesspool. How could someone like that be called Golden Egg?
What should she be called, since she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth?
Lu Jinjin?
Lu Baobei?
Lu has money?
Lu Huaijiao, who was about to get angry, was inexplicably amused by the name she had imagined. She slightly curled the corners of her lips, and her beautiful eyes curved into crescent shapes.
The words he said weren't as harsh as before.
"I already said, one candy each, no fighting over it. You finished yours in one bite and now you want to snatch someone else's? You can't get it and you're going to tattle? How can there be such an annoying child like you in this world?"
Xu Honglian, who already had some reservations about Lu Huaijiao, had her face darken instantly when she heard Lu Huaijiao say without any hesitation that her precious golden egg was an annoying child.
Just like the weather in May, the sky was clear and blue just a moment ago, and now it's so dark it looks like it could drip water.
"Fourth sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'annoying child'? What has my Jindan done to you? As an elder, it's one thing for you not to care for him, but to say he's annoying?"
Xu Honglian looked Lu Huaijiao up and down. Even though Lu Huaijiao had been in the village for two years, her skin was still as white as a peeled egg because her uncle, that simpleton, had been doing chores for her.
Her impeccably clean clothes, without a single patch, and her gleaming leather shoes all served as a reminder of her privileged family background…
Born into a family of seven sisters, Xu Honglian disliked people like Lu Huaijiao the most.
Originally, they thought everyone would live in peace for a while, but unexpectedly, on the very first day Lu Huaijiao married into the family, she laid a hand on her precious golden egg, which was absolutely intolerable.
As Lu Huaijiao listened to Xu Honglian's words and looked at her hateful and jealous eyes, she couldn't recall how she had gotten along with this sister-in-law in her past life.
But she knew that no matter which lifetime she lived, she would never indulge Xu Honglian's temper.
Therefore, as soon as Xu Honglian finished speaking, Lu Huaijiao reached out her hand directly.
"Give it to me."
Xu Honglian blinked: "Take what?"
"I just gave each of your two sons a White Rabbit candy. Now you either pay me back the money or give me back the candy."
"What?"
Xu Honglian's eyes widened, stunned by Lu Huaijiao's unreasonable words, and everyone else in the courtyard was also taken aback. This newlywed bride seemed rather unreasonable.
Lu Huaijiao doesn't care about your logic or reasoning.
Didn't Xu Honglian say she didn't care about Gu Jindan and Gu Yindan? Now that she's already taken on this accusation, she definitely has to get the candy back. Otherwise, wouldn't she be letting down the bad reputation she's earned?
Lu Huaijiao insisted on getting the candy back.
Xu Honglian froze for a moment, then slapped her leg and burst into tears, wailing, "My God, I can't live anymore! The new bride just entered the house on her first day, and she doesn't even respect my sister-in-law and nephew! Not only did she insult my sister-in-law, but she also tried to hit my nephew! My God, I can't live anymore, I can't go on living..."
Gu Changzheng, who had just finished cooking at home and was about to go to the bamboo grove in the backyard to cut bamboo, heard Xu Honglian's loud crying before he even entered the house. Thinking of Lu Huaijiao at home, he couldn't help but frown and quickened his pace.
