Old Mother Xia was in the middle of cursing when the four children ran over to her and said, ”Third Aunt, your Big Sister Xiaochan is back.”
Old Mother Xia was angry at first, but when she heard Xia Xiaochan had returned, she immediately started swearing.
”What?” The debt collector is back? Get lost, tell her to get lost! Hmph, since you've already left, don't even think about entering my Xia Family Gate. Didn't this little brat have the guts to run away? If you have the ability, then don't come back. ”
In the end, when she finished spitting out curses, the members of Ceng Fourth Family came looking for their child. At this moment, the members of Ceng Fourth Family said with a smile that was not a smile, ”Third Aunt, what are you scolding? ”That girl, Xia Xiaochan, is probably too capable. She earned 15 taels of silver in one go and is now distributing the candies everywhere.”
”What?” The killer of a thousand knives had earned fifteen taels of silver? What? And giving people candy everywhere? This damn chick who kills with a thousand knives. Ah, what a wastrel. How can I give birth to such a bastard?
Lady Faang cursed, but she was more nimble than anyone else. With a spin, she threw her kitchen knife and ran out of the house.
Even though her hands were full of pigweed, she couldn't care less right now.
At the side, Lady Chen, who was sunning herself, rolled her eyes and chased after him.
15 taels, I'm rich. My family has to work hard to save this much money. If I get it, I can eat and drink it everyday.
Of course, he had to think of a way to get that damned girl's money in his hands.
Lady Chen followed him with a big belly.
After Lady Chen followed her, the door to a nearby room was suddenly opened. As the door was opened, a fair skinned girl wearing a cotton dress walked out.
After the girl walked out, her voice was warm and gentle. She gave off a feeling of a weak willow supporting the wind, making her seem especially delicate.
”Mother, what are you doing? ”I, I want to follow mother!”
When Lady Faang saw this girl, her fierce gaze immediately softened. With a pained expression, she said, ”Ming Zhu, don't you like staying in your room? Why did you come out? ”
This girl was two years younger than Xia Xiaochan. She was Xia Xiaochan's sister, Xia Mingzhu. She was twins with Xia Sanhu.
Xia Mingzhu was just like her name. She was like a pearl in the Xia Family, she did not do household chores, and only needed to read and write with her third brother who was at school all day long. She basically did not show her face.
In the Xia Family, Old Mother Xia treated Xia Mingzhu like her own heart, and was unwilling to part with even a little of the grievances that Xia Mingzhu had suffered.
As for the reason? When Xia Mingzhu was five years old, a sage-like old fortune-teller suddenly came to the village one day. This old man's fortune-telling skills were especially accurate.
When the old man saw Xia Mingzhu, he almost immediately cried out in alarm. Then, amidst Lady Faang's bewilderment, he circled around Xia Mingzhu, praising her, ”Good, good, good, what a great pearl. That woman, your daughter's life is really amazing!”
Hearing that, Lady Faang's eyes lit up almost immediately. ”Really? What's so special about my daughter's life? ”
”This daughter of yours is born to be rich. Even a noble wife can do that. The wealth of your family lies in this child. Madam, you need to educate this child well so that she can read and recuperate. Otherwise, the wealth of your family will be a worry to you.”
