Chapter 189: Being a Guest
Bai's words made Zhang's heart skip a beat. She angrily shouted, "How dare she!"
"She is so arrogant now, what is there that she dares not to do?"
“.”
Zhang thought about it and thought, yes, he is quite arrogant, maybe he would really dare to do that.
"That requires her to be capable! Mingxuan is still young. It's too early to say he has a bright future. My Mingxiang is much more capable than him and will definitely surpass him in the future. Humph, who knows who will take revenge on whom by then."
The more Zhang spoke, the more relieved she felt, as if her son had become successful and she had also benefited from it by stepping on Xu Zhichun's head.
Bai secretly cursed him for being stupid, confused, arrogant, and thinking too much!
It's already this time and he's still dreaming, dreaming that the kid in their family will one day step on Mingxuan.
No matter how disdainful Bai felt, she knew how much hope her elder brother and sister-in-law had placed on Liang Mingxiang, and she did not dare to pour cold water on him in person.
Otherwise, instead of being provoked by her to deal with Xu Zhichun, the sister-in-law would pounce on her and tear her apart first.
"How many years will it take? Do you really want to put up with Xu for so many years? How can you bear to watch Xu flaunt her power every day?"
Zhang gritted her teeth and of course she couldn't bear it.
"That Xu family is going too far! Mingxuan is also clueless. He's clearly a Liang family member and should be closer to our two families, but he's happy to listen to the Xu family and has become estranged from us. Plus, now that he's enrolled in the county school, he's even more complacent. In a few years, I'm afraid he'll look down on us even more!"
"In short, that uncle and his wife are disaster stars. With them around, neither of our two families will be well."
Zhang's heart moved, isn't that right?
With them around, Mingxiang feels wronged enough, not to mention anything else.
If Xu Zhichun is gone, will that brat Mingxuan still be able to act so arrogantly and suppress Mingxiang in everything?
Seeing her eyes rolling around and her face changing from gloomy to uncertain, Bai knew that she had listened to her words. She curled her lips in satisfaction and instigated her a few more times, making Zhang's face darker and darker. Then she walked away contentedly.
Xu Zhichun made noodles, and after he, Liang Mingxuan and Chunfen had dinner together, Chunfen diligently cleaned the stove, washed the dishes and pots. Xu Zhichun happened to ask his brother-in-law about his classmates coming to visit the next day.
Especially about Dou Zhongli.
This person was a relative of the Zeng family, and just for this reason, Xu Zhichun felt a little disgusted with him.
Since there were no outsiders around, Liang Mingxuan didn't feel any shy about talking about it.
Xu Zhichun frowned more and more as he listened.
"So this Dou Zhongli is always so competitive, trying to outdo you in everything, but he never gets what he wants?"
".That's about it."
"Then he really doesn't mind making things difficult for himself. Why bother? He insists on coming to our house tomorrow. I'm afraid he'll be disappointed."
Thinking that this person was a relative of the Zeng family, Xu Zhichun became even more disgusted. If nothing happened, it would be fine. But if something did happen, the Zeng family might start another conspiracy theory, and perhaps even implicate Xiaoyan.
Liang Mingxuan was also helpless. "I don't know what he's thinking, but it's hard to refuse."
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "They are all your classmates. Since Young Master Qin and Xiaoyue can come, it's not right to reject him alone. Forget it, since they are here, we should make the best of it. Let's deal with it as it comes."
Liang Mingxuan felt that his sister-in-law's words were very appropriate and couldn't help but smile, "Well, I'll listen to you, sister-in-law."
I have to deliver tomatoes to Shopkeeper Tang tomorrow, so I have to keep doing business. I still have to make konjac tofu and konjac noodles today.
After all, you've already gone there, you can't just deliver the things and come back, right?
The next morning, Liang Mingliang and Zeng Xiaoyan went into the city to deliver and sell things. Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhuer waited at home for Qin Ningan and others to come and visit.
I killed two chickens this morning, plucked their feathers, cleaned them, and set them aside. I also simply processed the pork belly and planned to make braised pork. I chopped and marinated the ribs and made a dish of steamed pork with rice flour. I also had tomato, egg, and two stir-fried vegetables from the garden.
The first person to arrive was Lu Xiaoyue, but unexpectedly, she was accompanied by Ji Ma, who was Madam Lu's sidekick.
"Sister Xu!"
"Hello, Madam Xu."
Xu Zhichun was very surprised. "Xiaoyue—I'll call you Ah Xiao today. Aunt Ji, long time no see."
Nanny Ji smiled and nodded: "Since our young master is coming, I'm coming to join in the fun."
As Nanny Ji spoke, she handed over the three or four gift boxes she had brought with her. "Just a good chance to congratulate Madam Xu on her new home."
"Thank you, Mammy."
Xu Zhichun took it and placed it on the Eight Immortals Table.
Lu Xiaoyue couldn't sit still and was very curious about their new home, so Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan had to take them around.
Many of the strawberries planted in the backyard have already borne fruit, but they have not grown up yet and are hanging down one by one, completely lacking the cuteness and appeal of ripe strawberries.
Neither Lu Xiaoyue nor Ji Ma Ma knew much about crops, so they didn't take the strawberries seriously and just thought they were ordinary vegetables.
Lu Xiaoyue was just surprised: "There are so many of these. Are the fruits delicious?"
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "I don't know if it tastes good or not. We'll know when it matures. I didn't plant so many originally, but who knew it would grow smaller ones on its own? Over time, there are so many. If it tastes good, I'll pick some more and send them to the county school for you to taste."
"That's great, thank you Sister Xu!"
They were talking in the backyard when they heard someone coming up front, so they hurried over.
The carriage stopped outside the yard. Qin Ning'an was holding a small basket padded with straw, in which a brown and black puppy lay pitifully.
Qin Ningan jumped off the carriage and waved vigorously when he saw Liang Mingxuan and the others. He then ran over with a small basket in his arms: "Mingxuan, Sister Xu, look at the puppy I brought you!"
Xu Zhichun said he wanted to buy a puppy to look after the house, but there was no one in the village and he hadn't seen any for sale in the county town recently, so the matter was delayed. Unexpectedly, Qin Ningan found out about it and brought one to him.
No one can resist a fragile and cute little animal. Looking at the puppy that had just been delivered, Xu Zhichun's heart softened. "Ning An, thank you so much!"
Lu Xiaoyue squatted beside the puppy with bright eyes and stroked its sleek fur on its back, "So soft, so smooth, so cute!"
Liang Mingxuan: "Thank you very much."
He felt that it was a little small, such a soft little ball, with watery eyes and a delicate appearance. He was afraid that his sister-in-law would need to worry about and take care of it for a long time. He didn't know when it would be able to guard the house again. However, puppies have their own advantages. They were raised at home from childhood and were closer to their family.
"This puppy seems to be different from the ones we usually see. Where did you get it, Ning An?"
Liang Mingxuan asked again in confusion.
Qin Ningan said casually, "I don't know either. A foreign merchant gave it to my father, and he raised it for me to play with. Then I thought, what a coincidence! I just heard Mingxuan say that Sister Xu wanted to raise a housekeeper, so I brought it here specially to give you a surprise, hehe!"
