When Xia Xiaochan returned home, from the living room, came the voice of Old Mother Xia. When Xia Xiaochan heard it, it turned out that Second Brother, who was working as a carpentry apprentice in the city, and Third Brother, Xia Sanhu, who was studying at the school in town, had also returned.
It was a box of snacks. Xia Erhu said to Lady Faang and his sister-in-law Lady Chen, ”Mother, eldest sister-in-law, I wasn't willing to eat this since I got the reward from the family, so I left it for you. Mother, it costs half a silver for a box of snacks.
With that, Xia Erhu glanced at Xia Sanhu and said, ”Third Brother, I have a box here for you alone.”
As he said that, he also handed a box to Xia Sanhu.
As for Xia Xiaochan, he merely glanced at her for a moment before shifting his gaze away.
On the other hand, Old Mother Xia's Lady Faang looked at Xia Xiaochan with an unpleasant expression. Old Mother Xia said, ”Stupid girl, where did you go to mess around? If you don't learn well at such a young age, you might as well learn to hook a man.
Since she happened to have a sickle by her side, Old Mother Xia grabbed the sickle and swung it towards Xia Xiaochan.
Xia Xiaochan shuddered and instinctively dodged backwards, dodging the fatal blow.
After Xia Xiaochan fell to the ground, she raised her head and looked at Old Mother Xia in shock. Old Mother Xia was so disgusted that it seemed like she was looking at something dirty. If you don't have good eyesight, you won't be able to see your brother and your brother come back? Why don't you hurry up and cook? ”
Xia Xiaochan lowered her head, picked up her sickle, and walked towards the kitchen.
From the beginning to the end, Second Brother and Third Brother didn't say a word for her.
In his previous life, Second Brother, who had been looking down on him all this while, would only treat him with a mild expression when he had become rich. On the other hand, Third Brother, who was one year younger than him, had looked down on him from the beginning to the end. Second Brother was born with a snobbish attitude.
Third Brother was currently studying in the town. Next year, he would be able to pass the exam. However, that was all he could do.
Third Brother's talent was average, but his heart was higher than the heavens. He thought of himself as a scholar, a person of higher status than his family, and looked down on everyone.
This situation became even more apparent after the children's test.
In the end, if he hadn't spent so much money and effort to get a teacher to teach him, he wouldn't have been able to get promoted to an Elementary Scholar status.
In fact, after he had been murdered by that loser in his previous life, if this little brother of his had even thought about how good he was to him, how could he have ended up like this?
She lowered her head and walked slowly into the kitchen.
It was because he had experienced it once, so he could see everything more clearly.
They from Xia Family were probably naturally cold-hearted, without a single trace of kinship. This way, it was also good, since she, Xia Xiaochan, would be able to walk the path that she would walk peacefully after this. As for these so-called relatives? She didn't care if they died!
Since Xia Erhu and Xia Sanhu had returned home, Old Mother Xia, for once, brought out a piece of cured meat the size of a palm and told Xia Xiaochan to make the food more sumptuously.
If it was any other time, Lady Chen and Lady Faang would have to guard it for fear of stealing it. But now? With the box of pastries in hand, the two of them ran to a room off to the side.
Xia Xiaochan looked at the piece of meat in her hand with a faint smile. She quickly washed the meat and brought a large jar of chili concoction over, then chopped the meat into pieces and stir-fried it together with the meat.
