C67 puerperal dyscrasias (1/2)

”Alright, alright, I'm afraid of you now!” Liu Xiaolan's expression changed slightly, and said: ”Speak, what do you want to ask? We have always been good friends, and if it wasn't for your mother and father being so dishonest, I would have helped you out.”

Liu Zhuer smiled and replied: ”I knew that my aunt was the best. Sigh, my mother says whatever it is she wants, and if you want to talk about my aunt's dowry that time, you can't blame me for it. Little aunt, think about it, you already knew the whole story, but you still didn't tell my mother and me.

”What can I do for you? Zhu Er, we are the best of friends and your mother and father never asked me before, how would I know what she is thinking? ” Liu Xiaolan was also unhappy.

If it wasn't for Liu Sun intervening horizontally, not only would she not be short of money, she had even put in an extra five taels of silver. Even though she had caused a ruckus, in the end Liu Qi only agreed to buy her a pair of silver bracelets. Most of the silver bracelets worn by the ladies were exquisite but not heavy, how could they compare to five taels of silver?

Regarding this matter, Liu Xiaolan really hated the Liu Sun.

Liu Zhuer was a man who could move her eyebrows with the blink of an eye, she immediately laughed: ”Alright, sister-in-law, I won't believe that I am unable to help you out. Furthermore, after we obtained the silver coins, my mother immediately went to the Silver Restaurant to buy a hairpin that is very popular right now.”

At this point, her eyes fell on the chaste again.

Liu Xiaolan could only ask: ”Then what do you want to know?”

Seeing that her tone was much softer, Liu Zhuer did not beat around the bush. He pointed to the vegetable patch that Zhang Guihua was digging and asked, ”Aunt, I saw that Third Aunt is already digging. Why is it that in the past few days, she has only taken care of half of it?

Liu Xiaolan glanced at the direction of the garden, and replied indifferently: ”My mother said, in the future, I will only grow half of the garden.”

”Why, what about the rest?” Liu Zhuer's heart sank, why not? This woman could not be spoiled!

Liu Xiaolan could not help but roll her eyes, ”The main reason is that Zhang Guihua is not willing to buy more, what's left? Mother didn't tell me what to do, but I told his to plant a few jujube trees, and two peach trees and a pear tree.

Hearing that, Liu Zhuer became even more unhappy, but she could not help but look down on Liu Xiaolan for not having seen, how could the fruits her own family grew compare to the fruits she bought outside.

”Zhang Guihua is not willing to plant it, why?”

Liu Xiaolan said impatiently: ”What else can I do? I say, Zhu Er, Second Brother has always been working in the restaurant and is also a shopkeeper, your family has never lacked this kind of dish. Every time you come back for the new year, your family will always bring bags of food from the ox-cart before leaving.

How could Liu Zhuer dare to say that every time she brought back some dried food or dried fish, she would sell them to the restaurant. Furthermore, Zhang Guihua's cooking skills were not bad, the chefs liked it a lot, but in order to prevent the old house from discovering this, Liu Rengui always insisted that his family members did not have much time, and had to wait on them.

Now, Zhang Guihua no longer grew vegetables, but what about chickens and ducks?

Then, she asked Liu Xiaolan, ”Why do you not raise chickens and ducks? ”Ever since I was born, my aunt has been weak. I've always wanted to recuperate a bit more, so that I could frequently slaughter them to nourish my aunt's body.”

Liu Xiaolan liked listening to these words, so she smiled and said: ”It's still better if we brought a few more, this chicken, sigh, aren't we busy with guests at home, the old hen s at home are almost all killed, my mother said that this year she wants to raise more chickens and ducks.”

She did not know that Liu Qi wanted to raise more chickens and ducks because she no longer wanted to provide with food.

Hearing that, Liu Zhuer felt more at ease, if she did not cook, she would not cook, at least she could still get some chickens.

As far as I know, Liu Xiaolan said: ”However, chickens don't raise too many, after all, my family will have to add a few piglets next year. Zhu'er, I will tell you in secret, my mother doesn't like your mother much, hmph, they are sizing me up for my age, I don't get it.”

”What do you mean?” Liu Zhuer looked nervous. No wonder Liu Qi disliked own mother a lot these days.

Liu Xiaolan then told her about Zhang Guihua's previous incident where she was about to leave the hall, and then continued, ”Sigh, if you didn't mention this, I would have forgotten, at that time, she was extremely fierce, with those eyes, as though she wanted to eat someone, it was enough to scare me.”

”What? Not only does their family not grow those vegetable fields, they even get five hundred gold for nothing?” Liu Zhuer had to inform her own mother and father about this matter.

”Not only that, my dad also said that he wouldn't let Zhang Guihua do so many things in the future. She still wants the baby and her body, so she can only work hard for your mother.” Liu Xiaolan had always kept the matter of Zhang Guihua's family getting five hundred gold coins in mind.

She didn't want Mrs. Liu Qi to make up for Zhang Guihua's family. She just liked the people in this house living a life of misery and laughter. Looking at those girls, she was full of envy.

”Also, Zhang Guihua told my parents at that time that she will not grow any vegetables from now on, nor will she help you raise chickens. She said that she will not help your family free of charge if you want to plant any.”

”What?” Liu Zhuer's sharp voice came out from the courtyard, scaring the sparrows on the trees so much that they flew into the air panic-stricken.

Zhang Guihua's thoughts had seriously harmed her family's interests, how could she accept this?

”She dares? Did this slut really think she was a daughter of heaven? She's just a daughter of a poor family. If it wasn't for our kind heart, would we have asked Third Uncle to take her away when we saw her in such a pitiful state? Pui! ”Whatever it is, just take a piss and look at yourself.”

Therefore, cursing could be passed down from generation to generation.

Although Liu Zhuer usually wore a gentle and demure expression, she actually still inherited Liu Qi's characteristics from the bottom of her heart.
