Xu Chunniang keenly noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly.
"Sister, what's wrong with her?"
"It's nothing. Da Ya is fine. It's just that she hasn't been back since she was busy during this period. Don't worry about it."
Mother Xu smiled and spoke, but the smile on her face looked a bit far-fetched.
Xu Chunniang felt something was wrong, but seeing that Xu's mother didn't want to say more, she didn't continue to ask.
After dinner, the fourth child went to the study, and she followed him in.
Xu Qiushou turned around and found that there was someone else in the room. He was so frightened that he rolled his eyes.
"Third sister, you have become a god and can't you even make a sound when you walk?"
Xu Chunniang ignored these words and said straight to the point, "Let me ask you, has something happened to eldest sister?"
The eldest sister is like a mother. It is the eldest sister who has raised her up. Apart from her parents, Xu Chunniang has the most affectionate relationship with her eldest sister.
If something happens to her eldest sister, she will definitely seek justice for her.
Speaking of the eldest sister, the expression on Xu Qiushou's face became solemn.
After a long time, he finally said, "As soon as I came back, my mother told me not to tell you about my eldest sister, but since you asked about it, if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't let it go."
After a pause, Xu Qiucao continued, "My eldest sister has had a bad life these past few years, very bad. We tried to persuade her to come back, but she refused to make peace with her, preferring to stay in the Wei family and suffer from the old pious woman.
Shumo. I’m just a scholar, and I can’t interfere in other people’s housework.”
Half an hour later, Xu Chunniang walked out of the study with a sinking face.
From the fourth child's mouth, she learned about her eldest sister's experiences over the years.
After marrying to Weijia Village, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Ya Lianhua, gave birth to three daughters in a row, so she was disliked by her husband's family.
At the beginning, my husband's family was a little wary and didn't dare to go too far.
But as time went by, my husband's family became bolder.
It was Xu Lianhua who didn't live up to expectations, so he taught her a lesson, but she deserved it, and the gods came, and they were all reasonable.
Besides, Da Wu of their village was also favored by the gods and was not afraid of the three girls of the Xu family at all.
Xu Chunniang stood in the courtyard, anger boiling in her chest.
The eldest sister gave birth to three children for her husband's family. She had no merit but hard work. She hated her husband's family but tortured her in every possible way.
She herself is also a failure. She is already in this position, but she still cannot see the situation clearly, and she insists on refusing to make peace with her.
Early the next morning, Xu Chunniang went on her way to Weijia Village alone and found her eldest sister's husband's house.
From far away, you can hear the yelling coming from the yard.
"You just eat and don't work. There are so many clothes that haven't been washed and you haven't seen them yet, and you still need me to rush them.
My old Wei family has been really unlucky for eight lifetimes. We married an unlucky woman like you and gave birth to three losers.
I have a son in my family, you are going to cut off the roots of my old Wei family!"
The scolded woman was frighteningly thin, her complexion was sallow, and she looked like she had been malnourished for a long time. She was Xu Lianhua, the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
Hearing her mother-in-law's scolding, Xu Lianhua shrank subconsciously, but did not dare to resist. She honestly picked up the dirty clothes on the ground and prepared to go to the river to wash them.
Xu Chunniang couldn't bear it any longer and kicked the door open.
When Granny Wei heard the shouting, she opened her mouth and started to curse.
"Where did the little hooves come from? You actually dared to kick the door of my house and broke all the doors. If you don't pay me for the door today, you can't even think of leaving!"
Xu Lianhua looked at the person in front of her, and a vague figure flashed in her mind. The face in her memory gradually overlapped with the face of the woman in front of her.
"Clang!"
The wooden basin in her hand fell to the ground, and the dirty clothes inside spilled on the ground.
"Oh, you are so damned! You can't hold a wooden basin steadily. Why are you so useless? You can't do even the smallest thing!"
Xu Lianhua did not hurriedly pick up the clothes on the ground like before, but took a step in the direction of the woman.
"Third sister, is that you?"
"it's me."
Xu Chunniang could hardly believe that the thin and shapeless person in front of her could be her beautiful and gentle eldest sister.
What kind of life has the eldest sister been living in her husband's family these years?
On the other side, Granny Wei couldn't help but feel "thumping" in her heart when she saw the sisters recognizing each other.
The woman in front of me is the third child of the Xu family who became a fairy?
Her wrinkled face was instantly filled with smiles.
"It turns out that my sister-in-law is here. It's really bright at Chaimen. Come inside and sit down."
Xu Chunniang didn't look at her, she just stared at the eldest sister, "Eldest sister, this kind of life must not be what you want."
Xu Lianhua hadn't spoken yet, but Granny Wei was anxious.
"My dear aunt, what do you mean by that? Lianhua is the daughter-in-law of my Ming Matchmaker. You can't take her away with just a word. Even if you go to see the official, I can still reason with you."
Hearing this, the light that had just lit up in Xu Lianhua's eyes dimmed instantly.
She smiled bitterly, "I will be very satisfied if I can see my third sister again. Maybe, this is my life."
Hearing these words, Xu Chunniang's chest became even more angry.
I feel sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to fight.
But the angrier she gets, the calmer she becomes.
"Sister, you taught me since I was a child that it's okay to be looked down upon by others, but you can't look down on yourself. You now make me a little disappointed and a little strange."
Xu Lianhua became dazed and fell into memories.
When did she start to become like this?
"God only helps those who help themselves. If you are ready to admit defeat, so be it."
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath, turned and left.
If the eldest sister really accepts her fate, even she can't help at all.
Looking at the decisive third sister, Xu Lianhua felt a huge sense of panic in her heart and subconsciously stopped her.
"Wait for me……"
Xu Chunniang stopped.
Xu Lianhua shouted out, and felt timid when she saw her mother-in-law beside her, whose face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
In fact, she has been beaten so much over the years that she is scared.
But thinking about the life she was experiencing now, and how many more years it would last, she still mustered up the courage and called Xu Chunniang, "Third sister, I want to talk to you, is that okay?"
Granny Wei's face was livid and she was about to get angry, but she received Xu Chunniang's cold eyes from the side. She was shocked by the coldness in her eyes, and she immediately dared not speak.
"Of course you can."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly and said lightly to Granny Wei, "Didn't you invite us to sit in the house? Why are you standing there in a daze?"
Hearing this, Xu Lianhua went to look at her mother-in-law with fear, only to see her always strong mother-in-law leading the way like a quail with her neck curled up.
She became more courageous in her heart.
Xu Chunniang entered the room, looked at the furnishings of the room calmly, and then glanced at Granny Wei, "Go down, don't stand here and be an eyesore."
Granny Wei's face was bruised from holding back, and the anger in her heart finally defeated her fear of gods.
She raised her head, put her hands on her hips, and cursed.
"My dear aunt, I treat you as a person, so don't you know how to praise me. You are a guest in my house. How can a guest drive away the owner?
Don't think that because you are a god, I am really afraid of you. My uncle's cousin's son, Wei Dawu, also followed the gods back then.
You came back suddenly, don't be abandoned by the gods!"
