Liu Shuixian nodded happily, ran back into the house to get a small jacket, and came out.
He Tiantian noticed that Liu Shuixian's jacket was brand new, so she casually asked, "Shuixian, did you buy new clothes?"
Liu Shuixian nodded happily, "My older sister paid me a month's wages and bought gifts for my dad, my mom, and me."
"Your sister is Yulan?" Hong Erniang looked at the clever little girl in front of her and felt that she looked somewhat like Liu Yulan, whom she had seen at the Ni Chang Pavilion last time.
Liu Shuixian nodded again, "Auntie, do you know my older sister?"
Hong Erniang smiled like an aunt, "Of course, of course, you two sisters do look somewhat alike."
On my way back from Sister Yulan's house, I happened to pass by Old Zhao's house.
When I arrived, I didn't see anything unusual at Old Zhao's house. But when I left, the entrance to Old Zhao's house was already crowded with people.
The houses in the village live close together, so if anything happens to one family, everyone in the area will know very quickly.
Liu Shuixian, being a very curious child, stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to look inside.
What happened to Xiaocao's family?
He Tiantian could vaguely hear people crying and making a fuss inside, as well as Old Lady Zhao's shouting and cursing.
Hmm, could it be that Old Lady Zhao is taking her anger out on her sister-in-law?
He Tiantian was a little worried. "Let's go take a look."
The last time I visited Old Zhao's house was when the family divided their property. Standing outside the courtyard and looking inside, everything in Old Zhao's house was still as dilapidated as before.
Inside the main room, He Tiantian looked around carefully but couldn't find her sister-in-law, Tao Shi.
Her uneasy heart finally calmed down.
"What's going on?" He Tiantian asked casually.
The neighbor, Er Mao's mother, lowered her voice and whispered, "I heard that Old Lady Zhao is in charge of Cheng Shi. She said that Cheng Shi is dishonest when she works in the city."
"Let alone in the city, didn't she also try to take advantage of others in the village before?"
"Yes, that Zhao Chengshi... is so embarrassing."
In the main room of the Zhao family, Old Lady Zhao angrily struck Cheng's leg with her cane.
Although the force was not strong, Cheng was so frightened that she howled and cried.
"Xiang Nan, you're not a man. When your mother hits me, you just hide in the house and act like a coward."
Fatty Zhao and Skinny Zhao stood by, unsure how to break up the fight. They had witnessed firsthand how formidable their grandmother was.
"Xiang Nan, if you're a man, come out here!"
Zhao Xiangnan hid in the house not because he was afraid to defy his mother, but because the courtyard was crowded with outsiders.
They're all from the same village; it would be incredibly embarrassing for a grown man like him to go out like that.
Only Wan Cunhua was home in the eldest son's house. She left for the city by carriage as soon as the sky began to lighten. Zhao Tiezhu went to work at the chicken coop, and Zhao Fengnian went to school.
Wan Cunhua stood by, supporting Old Lady Zhao. Although she and Third Aunt's family did not have any overt conflicts.
However, Wan Cunhua knew her third aunt's character well and didn't want to speak up for her from the bottom of her heart.
