Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Xiuying simply took this opportunity to gather her daughters and servants. Standing in the middle of the main hall, she looked at her daughters with gentle eyes and said, "My girls, Lamei has performed very well in the face of Tian Guilan's provocation and unreasonable behavior this time.

She didn't flinch, wasn't afraid, and decisively taught Tian Guilan a lesson for her arrogant and domineering behavior. "Lamei did a great job on this point." Xiuying's tone was full of praise and affirmation for Lamei.

Then, Xiuying turned her gaze to the servants and said solemnly: "At the same time, I also want to tell you that when you go out, you must protect the young ladies. The safety of the young ladies is the top priority of our family, and we must not be negligent in the slightest." When Xiuying talked about the safety of her daughters, her eyes became sharp.

When the servants heard Xiuying's instructions, they hurriedly bowed respectfully and said in unison, "Don't worry, madam, we will definitely protect the young lady!"

One of the leaders, Wang Daya and Zhao Dongmei, stepped forward and reassured, "Madam, even if it costs us our lives, we will never let the young ladies come to any harm."

The other servants also echoed: "Yes, madam, we will definitely protect the young lady!"

At this time, Mrs. Sun came in with a smile on her face and said, "Oh, everyone is here."

Xiuying waved her hand, signaling the servants to leave. The servants understood and left in an orderly manner.

Taohua obediently asked the servant to make tea for Mrs. Sun.

Xiuying smiled and asked, "Mrs. Sun, how come you have time to come here today? What's going on?"

Mrs. Sun smiled and replied, "Sister Xiuying, Huahua will be coming of age the day after tomorrow. We're a small family, and we don't care about lavish occasions. We thought we'd simply set up a few tables and invite you over for dinner. The seven maids, Afan, and Awang will also come, so it'll be more lively with more people."

Xiuying was chatting animatedly with Mrs. Sun when suddenly, Aunt Li ran in breathlessly. As soon as she stood firm, she couldn't help but secretly glance towards Yang Qingfeng's room.

Seeing this, Xiuying asked in confusion, "Aunt Li, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiuying, Qingfeng has taken that dress. I guess the girl will wear it to attend Huahua's coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow. As long as you see whose girl is wearing that dress, you will know who Qingfeng likes."

Aunt Li's eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement, and she was beaming with joy as she spoke. Xiuying and Xiuying were equally excited.

Speaking of new clothes, Xiuying turned to look at Mrs. Sun and asked with concern, "Mrs. Sun, are the clothes you made for Huahua finished?"

Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded, saying, "It's already been made. Huahua really likes the material and can't wait to wear it."

When Huahua was mentioned, Xiuying was slightly stunned, then sighed and murmured to herself: "I don't know which girl Qingfeng likes." She became nervous when the mystery was about to be revealed.

Xiao Laoliu walked in angrily, holding the pepper spray tightly in his hand, and sat down on the chair with his mouth pouting high and his cheeks puffed up like a puffer fish.

"Humph, I've been exhausted from training with bows and crossbows and pepper spray these days." Little Six complained, pounding the armrest of his chair. "What's infuriating is that my uncle won't play with me. He just ran out alone."

Little Laoliu became angrier and angrier as he spoke. His little face turned red and he kept kicking the ground with his feet.

Aunt Li asked anxiously, "Sixth Brother, when Qingfeng went out, was he holding a bundle?"

Xiao Laoliu frowned, tried to recall, then nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, a blue bundle."

Xiao Laoliu's eyes were very determined, and after he finished speaking, he gestured to illustrate the size of the bundle.

Aunt Li's face immediately lit up with a smile, and she said happily, "That's right, there are the girl's clothes in there, he must have gone to deliver the clothes."

Aunt Li nodded continuously as she spoke, her eyes full of confidence, and she clapped her hands together gently, as if everything was within her expectations.

Little Six's bright eyes rolled around, and he said in surprise, "Are you saying that my uncle has someone he likes?"

Aunt Li looked at the cute appearance of little Laoliu and couldn't help but smile and said, "Silly child, you are going to have an aunt, aren't you happy?"

Aunt Li smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and she reached out and gently touched Xiao Laoliu's head.

When Xiao Laoliu heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and shouted, "No!"

"What's wrong?" Aunt Li asked with a puzzled look on her face, "When your uncle marries your aunt, there will be one more person who cares about you. Isn't that good?" Aunt Li's eyes were full of concern as she tried to understand Xiao Laoliu's thoughts.

Little Laoliu took a deep breath and said in a crying voice: "Oh no! My uncle hates Sister Huahua so much. What if he marries an aunt and they bully Sister Huahua together? Wuuuu..." Tears welled up in Little Laoliu's eyes and his voice trembled.

After saying that, Xiao Laoliu couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears with a "wow", tears rolling down like beads from a broken string.

Seeing Xiao Laoliu crying so sadly, Xiuying hurried forward, picked up Xiao Laoliu, and comforted him in a soft voice.

"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry. Your crying makes your mother's heart break." Xiuying said as she gently patted Xiao Laoliu's back.

"Mom is here. She won't let anyone bully Sister Huahua. Don't worry." Xiuying hugged Xiao Laoliu tightly in her arms and rubbed her cheek against Xiao Laoliu's little face gently.

After Xiao Laoliu's reckless fuss, everyone's expressions became more solemn, and they became more certain of one thing in their hearts - Yang Qingfeng hated Huahua.

Xiuying looked at Mrs. Sun, her eyes full of apology.

The smile on Mrs. Sun's face looked very awkward. She slowly stood up and said, "I have to go back and prepare for Huahua's coming-of-age ceremony. You all should come to dinner the day after tomorrow."

Mrs. Sun's voice was a little low. She adjusted the corner of her clothes while speaking, and her eyes were a little evasive.

After saying that, Mrs. Sun left in a hurry, her back looking somewhat lonely and helpless.

After Mrs. Sun left, Aunt Li also left with a heavy heart. As soon as she reached the foot of the hillside, she ran into Aunt Wu who was returning from collecting herbs.

Aunt Li forced a smile and said, "Hey, Aunt Wu, you had a good harvest today, didn't you?"

As Aunt Li spoke, she glanced at the heavy medicine basket behind Aunt Wu.

Aunt Wu wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied with a smile, "Not bad. I was lucky today and picked some precious herbs."

Aunt Li nodded and continued, "By the way, Huahua's coming-of-age ceremony is the day after tomorrow, and Aunt Sun asked me to tell you to go to dinner."
