We have a guest at home!

When Old Mrs. Xu looked at the person who came, her face drooped.

"I didn't know you were coming to visit relatives before the New Year, so why are you here now?"

The person who came was none other than the aunt that Xu's father had been talking about.

Xu Xiaoya shrank her neck. She thought that she would be out of the plot after leaving the provincial capital. She never thought that she would be caught up in the plot after just two years of peaceful life.

It was not because of anything else, but because my daughter was brought back by my eldest aunt.

Xu Xiaoya hugged Old Lady Xu's arm and said, "Grandma, I don't want a sister!"

She can have a younger sister, but the heroine can’t.

Old Mrs. Xu had never had a good impression of her elder sister-in-law. If she had not said that she could take the youngest son to the city as an apprentice, she would not have given so much to her elder sister-in-law.

Unfortunately, the elder sister-in-law is a selfish person. Seeing that her younger sister-in-law doesn't like her, she arranges an apprentice for her nephew, saying that he will work with her husband. Since they are relatives, he will definitely not have a hard life like other apprentices.

In fact, Father Xu's life did not have any privileges. He was an apprentice to his uncle and was treated as a slave in the family. Father Xu suffered a lot and did not dare to tell Old Lady Xu at first. Old Lady Xu thought that her uncle had a change of heart and was taking care of her nephew.

When she accidentally discovered the scars on her son's body, she realized that there was no care at all, but that her son was just timid and did not dare to complain.

Later, when she was about to leave with her son, Old Man Xu also went to give the elder sister-in-law a good beating. Then the man became nicer to the youngest Xu, and she started to learn some skills.

Xu Laoyao was a stubborn person. He didn't want to give up the opportunity to learn things outside, so he stayed, but he no longer had any expectations.

As Xu Laoyao's abilities grew, his uncle became more and more reliant on him. If Xu Laoyao hadn't suddenly returned, they would probably have continued working together.

"Sister-in-law, are you not welcoming me back?"

The elder sister-in-law held Old Mrs. Xu's hand with a smile on her face.

It is said that one should not hit a smiling person. Old Mrs. Xu didn't want to chase the person out, especially since she saw what her elder sister-in-law brought.

Compared to every time I came back empty-handed before, at least I was sensible this time.

"It's so chaotic outside right now, what are you doing here?"

It's freezing cold, and this elder sister-in-law has never come back during the Chinese New Year.

The elder sister-in-law glanced at Xu Xiaoya who was hiding behind Old Lady Xu: "Xiaoya has grown up so much. When she left, I said that this little girl was unlucky. She had such a good life in the provincial capital, but she always caused trouble!"

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

My sister-in-law found something wrong.

Old Lady Xu violently shook off her elder sister-in-law's hand. "Aunt, if you don't want to come back, then don't come back. Why is that little girl always asking for trouble? If you can't take care of others, don't rely on the little kid."

The eldest sister-in-law found something wrong. Although her surname was Xu, she was not actually the biological sister of Old Man Xu. The Xu family had been composed of only males for five generations, and there had not been a single female child. Therefore, every generation of the Xu family would adopt some female children so as not to be too conspicuous.

They were all adopted since childhood, so they can be considered as members of the Xu family.

Old Man Xu also looked unhappy: "Sister, you didn't come here to wish me a happy new year, did you? Just say what you want to say!"

Aunt Xu looked embarrassed, but she couldn't help but say it.

"It's because Xiaozhu left in such a hurry. His wife originally said she wanted to adopt Chunjuan, and I've been raising this child. Life at home has been tough lately, so I wanted to send the child back!"

Aunt Xu pulled the heroine to her side and looked at Xu Xiaoya's mother.

Xu's mother immediately waved her hands: "I already have Xiaoya, why should I adopt her? Besides, I told you at the beginning that there is no such relative in my family. You just don't believe it. She can follow whoever she wants. Anyway, I won't raise her!"

Mother Xu touched her belly and said, "I'm pregnant again now. I don't have the energy to raise another child!"

Old Mrs. Xu's face darkened. "Aunt, what on earth are you thinking? Even if you were to adopt a girl, you would have chosen one from Huaishu Village. Don't you know how you became a member of the Xu family? You just found a random girl from outside and want to bring her home. Aren't you afraid that the ancestors in the underworld will jump on your bedside in the middle of the night?"

The heroine is three years older than Xu Xiaoya. She is six years old at this time and looks at Old Lady Xu timidly.

"Grandma, I can help take care of Xiaoya, please leave me here!"

She has no family left, and her aunt's family doesn't want to support her. If Old Lady Xu doesn't keep her, she will probably be in a worse situation if she goes back.

The little girl is young, but she has a lot on her mind.

Xu Xiaoya waved her hands repeatedly: "I have brothers to take care of me, I don't need you!"

Just kidding, when the heroine came here, she already felt the power of the plot, and a threat of death kept emerging.

Even she could imagine what would happen next.

The heroine also realized that if Xu Xiaoya didn't want her to stay, no one would agree to let her stay. She knelt directly in front of Old Lady Xu: "Grandma, please have pity on me!"

Xu Xiaoya was originally standing on the kang, but because of the heroine's action, her body fell off the kang uncontrollably. If it weren't for Old Lady Xu who had been staring at Xu Xiaoya and hugged her, she would probably have fallen headfirst and might have gone to see the King of Hell in an instant.

Compared to the crying girl on the ground, Old Mrs. Xu paid more attention to her granddaughter, and her expression changed immediately.

"It's so pitiful! My little girl almost fell down when you appeared. No!"

The heroine started crying.

Aunt Xu sighed, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I want to cause you trouble, but life has been tough lately. The city is in chaos. You know our family's situation well. When the war started, our shop was affected. How can we do business with all the commotion every day?"

If there was no Xu Laoyao, she would have said this, but there was Xu Laoyao at home who was very familiar with her aunt's family.

The youngest Xu pointed it out directly: "Aunt, my uncle is very powerful. He has always been in contact with those officials. As long as he doesn't do anything excessive, he won't be affected, right?"

Aunt Xu was embarrassed: "Xiao Zhu, how is Aunt Xu treating you? How can you not help Aunt Xu?"

Xu Laoyao sneered, "Aunt, this isn't a matter of helping or not. Two years ago, this girl almost suffocated my daughter to death. She's been vicious since she was a child. What do you want to do by sending her back?"

Aunt Xu pulled the heroine: "Have you ever done such a thing?"

The heroine waved her hands repeatedly: "No, aunt, if you believe me, how could I do such an excessive thing?"

Although she is young, she knows that there are some things that can be admitted and some things that cannot be admitted.

Xu's mother also nodded: "Yes, I won't raise her anyway, and she's not from my family, so you should take her away!"

Seeing that the family was determined, Aunt Xu could only pull the heroine up and tell her to shut up and stop crying.

Since this trick didn't work, Aunt Xu continued, "Sister-in-law, I'm a member of the Xu family, right? Your brother-in-law thinks the world is in chaos now and you can't live in the mountains forever. Do you want to move to the city?"

Old Mrs. Xu immediately became alert: "What on earth are you two planning?"

Aunt Xu's husband is a businessman. It is said that there is no businessman who is not profit-driven. She doesn't believe that this person, who has always been calculating to the extreme, would suddenly have a change of heart and want to take care of their family.

"Don't think that of us. Your brother-in-law and I are doing this for your own good. The city is in chaos. Fighting started before the New Year, and many people died. Those foreigners rushed into the city with guns, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil. My little grandson was frightened!"

At this point, Old Lady Xu understood instantly.

"Are you here for the ancestral old ginseng?"

The Xu family has a century-old ginseng, which is a treasure left by the ancestors. It has been in the hands of the head of the Xu family for many years, and the current head of the Xu family is Old Man Xu.

Aunt Xu is really vicious for having her eyes on this wild ginseng.

"Sister-in-law, don't say that. There's no other way. You don't need it. I spent money to buy it. Wild ginseng is preserved for saving people. If my grandson is okay, I will definitely repay you!"

As soon as Aunt Xu finished speaking, Old Man Xu threw a shoe sole at her.

"Get lost! If your grandson is really dying of illness, giving you a whisker wouldn't be a big deal. We're all family, but you want to take everything away? Putting aside the fact that you're already married, even if you weren't married, ask yourself if you deserve it."

Old man Xu spoke rudely.

He had always looked down on this sister and was very scheming.

Aunt Xu cried out, slapped her legs and started howling, completely shameless.

"I just know that for all these years, you have never recognized me as a member of the Xu family, and you just look down on me!"

He even tried to pull Old Lady Xu, but she dodged him.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at her howling over there and asked the youngest Xu to help Xu's mother go back to the house first. She was still pregnant, and if she was frightened and had a miscarriage, it would be a waste of time.

Xu's mother wanted to take Xu Xiaoya away with her, but Xu Xiaoya disagreed. She wanted to see what the heroine was going to do, so she would never leave.

Old Mrs. Xu held Xu Xiaoya in her arms and refused to let go, wanting to see what anyone could do to Xiaoya.

After Xu's father and mother left, Aunt Xu continued to howl, but the sons she brought with her did not dare to say a word. In the deep mountains, if the Xu family wanted to take action, they would not know how they died.

"Uncle, my mother is just too anxious. Please don't argue with her. To tell you the truth, that wild ginseng is not for my son to eat. It's the Queen who has taken a fancy to it!"

Old Man Xu didn't believe it.

"What is Taijun?"

After the explanation from Aunt Xu's son, we realized that this "Taijun" referred to a Japanese officer.

Is this still available?

She had just seen the Japanese soldiers bombing several villages with their planes, and now her relatives were going to offer their family treasures to the Japanese soldiers as tribute, so Old Lady Xu was furious.

She stuffed Xu Xiaoya into her eldest daughter-in-law's arms, took out the feather duster at the door and hit Aunt Xu with it.

"I'll beat you to death, you heartless bastard. Do you know how ruthless those bastards are? How dare you be my lackey? I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

Aunt Xu didn't even bother to cry, she just raised her legs and started running, and the house was in chaos for a while.

Xu Xiaoya was enjoying the fun when she suddenly met a pair of cold gazes.

She couldn't help but shiver.

Finished!
