Cui Liushi adopted a condescending attitude as she looked at Liu Xiuying. Having been brainwashed by Cao Jinfang, she no longer had a good impression of them.
She even felt a bit disgusted, as if this family was unworthy to speak to her.
He looked at Liu Xiuying with his nose in the air.
"You two don't look like you're from our village. I wonder where you've come from. Are you here to look for someone?"
"Hmph, I'm here to see Han Yu'an's wife, Cui Yulu."
One day, Liu Xiuying thought that these might be Yulu's family members, so she smiled and invited them in to sit down and have a simple meal.
"Then come in quickly, Yulu is busy in the back, I'll go call her now."
"No rush, we've been walking for ages and we're hungry now."
"Oh, then sit down and eat."
Looking at the two bowls of rice, cornbread, and various meat and vegetable dishes on the table, Cui Liu thought it was simply a heavenly life.
At this moment, Cui Yulu was carrying out a bowl of fried river shrimp when she saw Cui Liushi and Cui Yufang sitting there eating and drinking heartily, and she felt a surge of anger.
These two are really persistent. Didn't they make it clear on the street that they were no longer family? How come they still came looking for us today?
"Yulu, stop what you're doing and come here. Your aunt is here. Come and say hello."
Liu Xiuying beckoned Cui Yulu over to greet her, and Han Yu'an followed his wife when he saw her coming.
"Grandma, do you need to see Madam?"
At this moment, he spoke much more fluently than before, and his mind was much clearer.
This is all thanks to Cui Yulu.
“Aunt Yulu, you’ve brought a little lucky star into our family. Ever since Yulu came into our family, good things have been happening one after another. We just caught a wild boar yesterday, and today we were thinking of sharing it with the villagers. We were in a bit of a rush and didn’t think things through. I’m so sorry, in-laws.”
Cui Liu glanced at Liu Xiuying. This old lady was good at talking, but that was no reason why she couldn't think of them.
"Hmph, I think our in-laws don't care about us at all, otherwise why would they be so rude?"
Thinking back, Cui Yulu didn't even receive a return gift after marrying into the family. Now that the family has something good, they weren't the first to be thought of. Cui Liu's outstanding personality couldn't stand it.
“Her aunt isn’t like that. After Yulu married into the family, she fell ill. By the time she recovered, the time for her to return to her parents’ home for the wedding had passed. So she thought she would find an opportunity to visit and explain things later. Yulu is still young, and I’m raising her like my granddaughter. She will definitely not be mistreated. You can rest assured that you can entrust the child to our family.”
She was naturally relieved; she had long wanted to get rid of this jinx, and she was overjoyed that someone had taken over.
"Look at what you're saying. I only said one sentence, but it has attracted so much of your comments. It makes me seem like an ignorant person."
Liu Xiuying looked somewhat embarrassed, not expecting her to say that.
"That's not what I meant, you misunderstood."
"What do you mean? You wouldn't have told us if I hadn't come looking for you?"
Cui Yulu knew that Cui Liu's goal was to eat and take as well, and immediately felt extremely contemptuous of her.
“I’ve already made it clear to you before that we have nothing to do with each other anymore. You know in your heart how you treated me before. Now you’re here pretending to be family. It disgusts me to look at you.”
"What are you saying, girl? No wonder the Second Grandma next door said your family is no good. Your Second Uncle and I raised you all these years, and we've done something wrong? You're such ingrates."
Cui Yulu knew in her heart that they must have been instigated by Cao Jinfang, which was why they were so hostile towards the people here.
"Don't be angry. Yu Lu is young and impetuous, so it's inevitable that she speaks a little bluntly. We, as her elders, shouldn't take it to heart."
"Since you seem to be a sensible person, I'll tell you."
So Cui Liu told Liu Xiuying all about how hard she had worked to take care of Cui Yulu all these years, and how her second uncle had broken his leg because of her.
I refuse to believe anyone would like her; I believe she brings good fortune.
Liu Xiuying naturally didn't believe everything she said; she could tell at a glance that this person loved to gossip and spread rumors.
Therefore, you can't believe everything she says.
“I can tell from her voice that you’ve had a tough time. You should eat well today, and I’ll prepare some more for you to take back to your second uncle later.”
Upon hearing this, Cui Liu was overjoyed, but she didn't show it on her face.
While eating, Han Bao secretly glanced at Lin Qiaoyue. This girl was cute, with a baby face like Cui Yulu, and she was also shy. She was very polite while eating, no wonder she was the daughter of a scholar.
It's pleasing to the eye.
Liu Meie also really liked this Lin family girl, and during the meal, she kept chatting with her mother, Chen Jinfeng.
"Sister-in-law Lin, your daughter is so beautiful and lovely, she's so pleasing to the eye. Is she betrothed yet?"
Chen Jinfeng looked at her with a smile: "No, as you know, we are outsiders and don't have many relatives here, so there aren't many people asking for our children's hand in marriage. Besides, none of the children have been chosen yet, so it's been delayed."
She speaks softly and gently, unlike the loud voices of the women here.
"Oh my, I really like this girl. I wonder if we're destined to be together."
Liu Meie glanced at her son, who was still missing. "This is all I can do to help you," she thought.
Han Bao grinned and gave his mother a thumbs up. In this world, his mother was the best and understood him the most.
Cui Yufang kept her ears perked up, listening to the conversation on the other end, thinking about how to attract Han Bao's attention.
If Han Bao falls in love with her, she can eat meat every day. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
So she secretly glanced at Han Bao and tried to wink at him, but Han Bao ignored her completely.
"Hmph, what's the use of being good-looking? You can't eat it."
Hearing Liu Meie praising Lin Qiaoyue, she felt resentful and muttered loudly.
This made Lin Qiaoyue blush, and she had to bury her head even lower, feeling embarrassed even when picking up food.
"Can't even a meal shut you up?"
Cui Yulu saw through her little scheme; she wanted to attract attention so she could marry into the Han family.
"Why should I shut up? I'm telling the truth. Can good looks put food on the table? They only attract attention. What man would feel at ease keeping her at home?"
She meant it by saying that Cui Yulu looked just like her mother and was a woman with no looks. Such a woman would only attract more men, and no man could stand that.
"Is this something a little girl like you should say? You have no shame."
Liu Meie disapproved of her behavior and directly confronted her, saying that wherever a girl like that went, that family would be unlucky and would inevitably cause chaos.
Qiaoyue is better; she looks so gentle and quiet, and seems easy to get along with.
