Xia Xiaochan's expression was rather unsightly. ”Mother, give me the key. I'll go cook something for you.”

Lady Faang glared fiercely at her. ”You damned bastard, I'll tell you. If you don't return that fourteen silver taels, from today onwards, don't even think about eating! Hmph!”

Having said so, Lady Faang turned around and walked away.

Lady Chen glanced at Xia Xiaochan gloomily before shifting her gaze to Xia Xiaohong and said, ”Sister Xiaohong, don't be fooling around with Xia Xiaochan. If you continue to follow her, she'll teach you how to break down. In the future, you won't be able to find a good wife. Look, where did she get a bit of a woman's virtuousness? ”

With that said, she turned around and walked away, not caring about the expression on Xia Xiaochan's face.

When they were all gone, Xia Mingzhu said to Xia Xiaochan, ”Sister Xiaochan, I have a bowl with me. Wash it later.”

As she spoke, she brought out a bowl.

There were traces of the Hibiscus Egg in the bowl. Obviously, Lady Faang had fed Xia Mingzhu again when Xia Xiaochan and the others weren't home.

In his previous life, if Xia Xiaochan were to encounter such a situation, there was nothing to say. She would definitely go and cause a ruckus with Lady Faang.

As for Lady Faang, there was no need to mention how she swung the stick at Xia Xiaochan. Every time she was whipped, Xia Xiaochan would die, and the wounds on her body would take several days to heal.

Every time when she was beaten up, her good sister, Xia Mingzhu, would 'plead for her.' For this, she would secretly buy clothes and a hairpin for Xia Mingzhu. Now that she thought about it, she was really stupid.

After Xia Mingzhu passed the bowl to Xia Xiaochanwan, to her surprise, Xia Xiaochan unexpectedly gave her a bland look before turning around and walking away. She did not even take her bowl nor did she go to her mother to quarrel with her.

Seeing that Xia Xiaochan had already walked to the door, she immediately said, ”Xiaochan, don't blame me for it. Even though Mother made me egg soup, I still feel sorry for you.”

Xia Xiaochan didn't even spare her a glance before she turned around and left.

When Xia Xiaochan was walking out of the door, two girls walked in front of her. These two girls were Xia Xiaochan's acquaintances and were none other than her sister-in-law from her previous life, Lee Jinyu, and Chen Qingrou, who married Lee Congwen.

When the two saw Xia Xiaochan, disdain flashed past their eyes. They didn't even greet Xia Xiaochan and directly said to Xia Mingzhu, ”Ming Zhu, did Xia Xiaochan bully you again? If she bullies you, you tell us, don't be afraid. ”

The one who spoke was none other than Lee Jinyu.

Just as Lee Jinyu finished speaking, Xia Mingzhu's gentle voice rang out as well, ”Jinyu, Qingrou, it's none of elder sister's business. I was just tired from work, so I don't want to wash the dishes.

Lee Jinyu's expression changed, ”Ming Zhu, you are a kind person. Why don't you take a look at what kind of person that big sister in the village is?” Why do you greet yourself with everything? She's the elder sister, so she should be working. Furthermore, she's been watching the show all morning, but I haven't seen her do anything serious. ”

Chen Qingrou also said gently, ”Ming Zhu, your sister is really immature. How can she be so lazy? ”It's been hard on you.”

Xia Mingzhu lowered her eyes. ”No, elder sister is actually very hardworking. She just …” ”It's just that I was too busy caring for Sister Xiaoli today, so I didn't do any work, right?”

It sounded like he was trying to refute Xia Xiaochan's words, but inside the words, there was another thing that expressed — — Xia Xiaochan was very lazy at home!

Lee Jinyu snorted coldly and said, ”She sure knows how to put on a show. Hmph, she's acting very diligently in front of outsiders. She's really too hypocritical. How dare my brother marry her? This is so disgusting. ”
