Shu Jiaying glanced at the empty rice pot, then at the bowl of soup on the table. She said "no" in her heart, but on the surface she put on a fake smile and said, "You guys eat. I just ate at Uncle Xu's house and just came back."
Hearing this, Xiaohua put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked up at Shu Jiaying.
"Sister Jiaying, didn't you promise me that you would take me with you wherever you went? Why didn't you ask me to come with you when you went to see the village head uncle?"
"Xiaohua, I have something important to discuss with the village head, and it's inconvenient to have children around. I promise you, okay? From now on, as long as I can take Xiaohua somewhere, I will never abandon her."
“…”
Xiaohua stopped talking and sat at the table waiting for Luo Dahu and his family to finish their meal. She then silently cleaned up the dishes.
Shu Jiaying immediately stopped her actions.
"Xiaohua, what are you doing?"
"Take the dishes and wash them..."
The slightly raised little face was full of grievance. Shu Jiaying vaguely felt that something was wrong. She snatched the bowl from Xiaohua's hand and put it on the table.
Then she looked at Zhao Chunlian, who was picking her teeth with a toothpick, and Luo Dahu, who was sitting with his legs crossed, and asked deliberately, "Uncle and aunt, are you full?"
"Not bad. Xiaohua, what are you still standing there for? Go wash the dishes. You still have to take care of your brother later!"
Hearing Zhao Chunlian's matter-of-fact tone, Shu Jiaying immediately asked back, "Let Xiaohua wash the dishes and take care of her brother, so what are the uncle and aunt planning to do later?"
Luo Dahu immediately retorted, "What are you doing? We are supposed to be doing adult things. If we don't do anything, how will we get the money to support this family? Miss Shu, judging from your tone, do you think we will mistreat Xiaohua?"
Standing up from the chair, he wanted to use his aura to suppress Shu Jiaying.
However, Shu Jiaying already knew what Luo Dahu was thinking. She looked straight at him with fearless eyes and stopped beating around the bush.
"Uncle Luo, when you say you're making money to support the family, which family are you actually supporting? If I remember correctly, this family now belongs to Xiaohua. Here, she's the host and you're the guests. Now you're taking over and ordering Xiaohua to do this and that. I don't think that's appropriate, does it?"
"Miss Shu, what are you talking about? We just asked Xiaohua to wash the dishes, and you... you actually made us sound like we were unforgivable villains?
Forget it, I'll wash the dishes myself. From now on, I'll treat Xiaohua like a rich lady and support her. Are you satisfied?"
"Mom, wait for me..."
Zhao Chunlian picked up the dishes on the table and walked towards the kitchen angrily.
Luo Xiaoming had an inexplicable fear of Shu Jiaying's strange dress, and he knew that Shu Jiaying was not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly followed Zhao Chunlian.
As for Luo Dahu, who was already full in the main hall, he glared at Shu Jiaying with dissatisfaction and said, "We had a good atmosphere at home, but you ruined it with your arrival. Are you satisfied with the situation now?"
After saying these words, he patted his butt and left home.
When only Xiaohua and Shu Jiaying were left in the main hall, Xiaohua took Shu Jiaying's hand again and cried, "Sister, actually, Auntie and Uncle not only asked me to wash the dishes, but Auntie also asked me to cook lunch today. And when we got up this morning, they also asked me to wash all their clothes, and said I have to do this from now on..."
