Chapter 195: 192: What an eye-openerAuthor: Duo Yanya MACHINE TRANSLATION
After a round of flattery, as expected, aunt Liu Fengxia smiled like a flower, and the way she looked at Kang Xiaoqiao changed.âYou child, you really are a sweet talker. ââXiaoqiao, your outfit is not bad. Where did you buy this dress? âWhen Kang Xiaoqiao heard that it was here, she immediately smiled as sweetly as if she had eaten honey and said, âaunt, you also think it looks good, donât you? ââHehe, this is what Yichen bought for me. Itâs the only one in our town. Fortunately, I caught it, or else I would have let someone else buy it. I spent a lot of money, and my heart aches so much. ââI told our Yichen that I donât go out either. Why do I look so good in it? Instead, he gave me a scolding. He said that he would buy it for you, so you wore it. Then, there was nothing else. ââAunt, tell me. Yichen is really a sharp-tongued man with a soft heart. He looks cold, but in fact, heâs warm-hearted. âAfter saying that, Kang Xiaoqiao smiled shyly. Her words made Liu Fengxia speechless.The clothes did not look cheap. She would not be able to buy them for less than 30 to 50 yuan. Although this girlâs temperament was not bad, if she was someone who did not know how to live and spent money to buy clothes, she would not be able to do so. She had to be educated.However, Kang Xiaoqiaoâs meaning was that Lu Yichen had bought it for her. She could not say anything about it, so she smiled and said, âI didnât expect Yichen to be such an iceberg. He actually dotes on his wife. âAt this time, her cousin-in-law, who did not have much presence, smiled and said, âmom, you canât tell, right? Haha, what is this called? You canât judge a book by its cover. âThen, the two of them laughed. Kang Xiaoqiao also laughed. However, she had finally passed the test in her heart. She could not say that she had a small business. Otherwise, the whole family would probably give her a lecture on criticism and education.After a short conversation, they heard a series of footsteps from outside. At this time, a five-year-old boy ran over and shouted as he ran, âMommy, Mommy, grandma, Iâm hungry, Iâm hungry. âWhen Liu Fengxia heard that, she immediately hugged the little boy and said, âAiyo, run gently. The kitchen floor is slippery. Donât fall. Hurry up and wash your hands. Itâs almost time to eat. Go. âWhen the little boy heard that, he ran away happily. Meanwhile, Kang Xiaoqiao was a little dumbfounded. Did their old Xia family have to be so progressive? It was already enough for girls to wake up so early. Even a five-year-old boy was not spared.At this time, Liu Fengxia saw Kang Xiaoqiao looking at the child in a daze and said, âsince Xiaozhi was three years old, she had to get up at five oâclock every day. She followed the men at home to go out for morning exercises. Now, she has already taken shape. ââThatâs enough, Yunshu. Take your little aunt and wash her hands. Go and wake up your second GRANDPAâs family and third GRANDPAâs family for dinner. âXia Yunshu immediately agreed, âEh, okay, grandma. âThen, she said to Kang Xiaoqiao, âletâs go, little aunt. âAfter saying this, she pulled Kang Xiaoqiao and left. Kang Xiaoqiao originally thought that the three families lived separately. Otherwise, there was no need to wake them up. In the end, Xia Yunshu brought her upstairs and she was puzzled She quickly asked, âYunshu, didnât you go to call second uncle and third uncle for breakfast? Why did you go upstairs? âHearing that, Xia Yunshu whispered, âsecond GRANDPA and third GRANDPAâs house are upstairs. âKang Xiaoqiao frowned. âBoth upstairs? Then why⦠ââWhy donât they get up and make breakfast? âKang Xiaoqiao nodded, while Xia Yunshu curled her lips and said, âtheyâre lazy. ââFor so many years, Iâve never seen their family come over to help make breakfast. Itâs always our familyâs work. ââAh? ââSo first aunt is just going to let them go? âXia Yunshu heard this and said, âyeah, so what? Forget about second aunt. If she doesnât help, sheâll be picky. However, third aunt comes over occasionally to help, and their two aunts also come over occasionally to help. âWhen Kang Xiaoqiao heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched and she said, âfirst aunt is truly open-minded and admirable. âWhen Xia Yunshu heard this, she chuckled. Then, she knocked on a gong twice at the entrance of the stairs and said, âsecond aunt, breakfast is ready. Itâs time for breakfast. âOnly after she shouted for the third time did she hear a very unhappy voice. âAlright, got it. Knock, knock, knock. Knock every day. Weâll go in a while. âXia Yunshu pursed her lips and was about to go upstairs when three people came down. They were none other than Lu Yichenâs third aunt and two daughters.When third aunt Zhang Ting saw the two of them, she blushed and said, âdinner is ready. Is Second sister-in-law not up yet? âXia Yunshu immediately replied, âprobably not. I knocked three times before she said anything. ââThird Grandma, you guys woke up early today. âZhang Ting blushed again when she heard that. Xia Qingyi, the youngest girl next to her, smiled and said, âI woke up early, but it took me a long time to wash up. ââYunshu, I really admire you guys. You guys wake up so early every day. Arenât you sleepy? ââBig Auntie, thereâs a nanny at home to cook. Why did she drag you along? Ah, Iâm so sleepy. âXia Yunshu smiled and said, âmy grandmother said that itâs only right for girls to wake up early to cook breakfast. It saves them from being called a lazy wife when they arrive at their in-lawsâ house. âAt this moment, Lu Yichenâs second aunt, Wu Xiumei, happened to open the door and heard this sentence.Her expression immediately changed. âWhat does your grandmother mean? Sheâs the hardworking one. Sheâs everywhere. Tsk, if she likes to be diligent, then go be diligent. What right does she have to criticize others? If Iâm willing to be lazy, why should she care? ââGet away⦠âXia Yunshu was almost pushed down by her. Kang Xiaoqiao frowned when she saw this. Why was this Xia family so abnormal?Men were all so diligent, but they were looking at women. Each had their own merits.Zhang Ting saw that Kang Xiaoqiao didnât look too good, so she went up to pull Xia Yunshuâs hand and said, âYunshu, are you okay? âXia Yunshuâs eyes were a little red, but she shook her head. Zhang Ting sighed and said, âdonât lower yourself to your second wifeâs level. You know how she looks like. If you endure any longer, it wonât be long before they leave. âJust as she said this, another door opened. If it wasnât the one who quarreled with Kang Xiaoqiao yesterday, who else could it be?At this moment, Xia Qingzhuâs eyes were hanging, and she snorted and said, âthird aunt, what is the meaning of this? Why are you so eager for us to leave? ââItâs a pity that this isnât your home. Tsk, you donât even have a son to receive the ancestors, yet you still have the mood to worry about other things. Youâre really free. Get Out of the way. âShe pushed Xia Yunshu again and the two of them went downstairs one after another. Zhang Ting, who was said to have no children, immediately turned red-eyed. She then turned around and cried as she went upstairs. Her eldest daughter, Xia Qingman, also turned around to comfort her.As they walked, she hurriedly said to Kang Xiaoqiao, âcousin-in-law, Yunshu, you can go back. We wonât be going downstairs for dinner today. âThen, she looked at Xia Qingyi and said, âwhy arenât you coming up? What are you waiting for? âXia Qingyiâs eyes were red as she roared, âIf I donât go up, what right do I have to go up? Iâm going to settle the score with that Xia Qingzhu right now. What right does she have to say that about our mother? Iâll slap her if I donât⦠â
