"Hey, where is Hua family girl going to make her fortune?" Before she even reached the courtyard, Bai Zhaodi's shrill voice attracted everyone's attention.
Especially Hua Guangzong, who appeared behind them, had a bundle half a person's height on each side, which was astonishing.
Hua Xiangyun said, "Grandma Bai, these were all sent by my grandfather's comrades who fought alongside him through thick and thin."
Hua Xiangyun didn't want to explain, but considering Bai Zhaodi's character, she decided to speak frankly.
Everyone knows that Huaguangzong receives some packages every year, but none of them are as big as this year's.
"It seems your grandfather's comrades-in-arms are quite remarkable. What kind of good stuff did they send? Show it to us so we can see for ourselves!"
Who knew that Bai Zhaodi would go too far, daring to make such a request?
Hua Xiangyun stared at her intently, carrying the package. "Grandma Bai, your relatives have been coming and going these days. What good things have they brought you?"
"Let's share this so everyone can be envious, instead of keeping it to ourselves."
The onlookers covered their mouths and laughed. Bai Zhaodi's so-called relatives always came empty-handed, but always left with something.
Bai Zhaodi's face darkened. She had never been so humiliated by a little girl before. "Sharp-tongued! A little girl like you dares to interfere with this old woman? She's nothing but a disfigured, worthless piece of trash. I'll wait and see what kind of end you get."
Hua Guangzong then walked up to Hua Xiangyun and stood beside her. “Brother Bai Zhao, our Hua family’s daughters are precious. How can you, an old money-loser, be compared to them?”
Sometimes envy is a kind of illness. I advise you to see a doctor and get it properly treated, so you don't infect others.
Those watching the commotion from the sidelines thought, "..." Could you please stop looking at us when you say that?
Facing Hua Guangzong, Bai Zhaodi, who was always sharp-tongued, suddenly fell silent and wished she could shrink into the crowd.
Hua Guangzong glanced at it dismissively and beckoned to Hua Xiangyun, "Come on, let's go back and see what good things we have here. If there's anything delicious, your grandma can give you an extra meal today."
Hua Xiangyun smiled sweetly at Hua Guangzong, "Grandpa, you're the best to me."
Hua Guangzong laughed and said, "Of course, if anyone in our family treats you badly, I'll beat them up."
Those left behind thought, "The Hua family has really gone mad; they treat a mere girl like a treasure."
These past few days have really driven our whole yard crazy. They're trying to give this girl all sorts of different nourishing meals every day, and my child is crying like crazy.
"That's right," everyone said, feeling a pang of sadness. "I smelled chicken soup again yesterday. The He family gave us that chicken, and it must have all ended up in this girl's stomach. It was worth all the suffering she endured."
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Someone nearby quickly pulled the person who made the sarcastic remark back. "If Tian Guihua hears this, she'll make a huge scene, and we can't afford to mess with her."
Everyone kept quiet when they thought about the compensation items from the various families.
They don't have that much wealth, so it's best not to cause trouble.
Bai Zhaodi snorted at this moment, "This young lady's behavior really deserves a good talk with the various committees..."
Before she could finish speaking, the space around her suddenly became empty, and Bai Zhaodi stood there stunned. "...Pah, they're all a bunch of cowards."

When guests come to visit, no matter how curious Hua Xiangyun is about the contents of the package, she can only put it aside for the time being.
However, the dark aura emanating from her second uncle made her frown. She wondered where he had gone to accumulate such a strong yin energy.
There's not much of a problem, it's just that you'll be unlucky for a long time.
With the exception of a very few individuals, Hua Xiangyun's maternal grandparents' family treated them quite well, and now that she had discovered this, she couldn't simply ignore it.
The tiny bit of spiritual energy she gathered at her fingertips made her feel instantly dejected.
Even if she wanted to, she was powerless at that moment.
After putting their things down and tidying up briefly, they sat down with Hua Guangzong in the courtyard to receive guests.
"Second Uncle, is everything alright at home?" Hua Xiangyun thought it best to start with casual conversation so she could gather some information and have a plan for how to respond.
Xun Liangcai stared at his niece's forehead. When she came in, it was covered by a scarf, but now that it was untied, the white gauze was quite glaring.
"Don't rush to ask about family matters, what's wrong with your forehead?"
Li Lancao looked at Hua Xiangyun with a tense expression, "This child is injured, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Hua Xiangyun shielded herself with her hand and laughed nonchalantly, "It was just an accidental bump, nothing serious. I was just worried about scarring, so I took some precautions."
Xun Liangcai didn't believe it and turned to Hua Guangzong, "Uncle, what's going on?"
Hua Guangzong looked at his granddaughter winking mischievously at him, then stiffly turned his head away. "This child suffered a lot. She was hit on the head by some naughty boy in the yard, and blood gushed out. I don't know how much she bled."
He had been lying on the kang (heated brick bed) for several days, and only in the last two days has he started to feel a little better.
Xun Liangcai jumped up, causing the stool behind him to fall over and hit his heel hard. He groaned, but didn't care. "Which kid is it? I'll go teach him a lesson."
Hua Guangzong was very satisfied with his reaction.
It seems that even after becoming the village chief, the old comrade-in-arms has not neglected the education of his son.
The second son of the Xun family usually looks honest and simple, but he also has a strong sense of justice.
Even Li Lancao, who was sitting next to him, looked on in agreement, which made Hua Guangzong even more satisfied.
"Second Uncle, don't be scared by my grandfather," Hua Xiangyun quickly stood up. "Look at me, I'm perfectly fine. The day before yesterday, my grandfather and grandmother took me to the city to have my wound checked. The doctor said that it might not leave a scar in the future."
The fact that the words weren't spoken too explicitly, and that it won't leave a scar, means the wound isn't very serious.
“Xiangyun has suffered too,” Li Lancao said, holding her niece’s hand. “Girls should be careful, otherwise they won’t look pretty if they have scars.”
Your parents aren't home, but your uncle is here anyway. Let's go together and demand an explanation from them.
In her opinion, her in-laws were getting old and might be targeted by these people, so their arrival was a good opportunity to help them get back at the top.
Hua Xiangyun felt that the matter was over in public, so she didn't hide it from Xun Liangcai and his wife and told them about how her family had helped her regain face.
"Don't worry, our family hasn't suffered any losses." Tian Guihua tidied up the house and came out to say, "Now the families are almost enemies. Watching them slowly make trouble every day can at least give us some satisfaction."
As she spoke, she pulled out a stack of coupons from her pocket. “You’re always so kind to us when you come, bringing us so many things. I don’t have much here, just some coupons. Use them if you see what you need.”
These in-laws are always so polite; they never come empty-handed, always carrying two full loads of things.
In addition to grains, there were also vegetables, dried mushrooms, dried wild vegetables, and other similar items.
Her family couldn't be stingy, so they gave away most of the tickets they had saved, which was just enough for Liangcai to buy some things to take back home.
