"What was Grandpa's reaction?" Xia Qingshu stared at his younger brother with curiosity, wanting to know how his grandfather, who had been giving him advice behind the scenes, would react.

"That's going to be interesting! You didn't see it, there were black, white, and red ones..." He was talking with great interest when he heard his mother cursing, so he quickly went out to join in.

While Xia Yutang was still a little dazed, she heard her mother cursing, "Your daughter is a cursed good-for-nothing, an old good-for-nothing who can't get married. She thinks she's so valuable, daring to be so picky. What, does she want to become an empress? She doesn't even know what she's made of, fat as a pig, eats everything and does nothing right. What family needs a mistress? To marry a mistress and raise her is just stupid! Even if my daughter is stupid, she's a hundred times better than her. If you dare to curse my daughter again, I'll tear down your walls, you believe me…"

Liu Fangmei is no pushover; her three children are her Achilles' heel. Her daughter barely survived, and anyone who dares to criticize her daughter is simply asking for trouble.

Everyone went up the mountain to find grain today, and they're still waiting to be distributed at the threshing ground. There aren't many people watching the commotion in the courtyard. They'd barely started arguing when someone went to find Xia Jixuan.

Xia Jixuan, who was helping to carry sweet potatoes and potatoes in the threshing ground, heard that his wife had been bullied, so he grabbed a carrying pole and ran straight home.

There were quite a few people following behind him, since it wasn't their turn yet, so they just came to watch the excitement.

Xia Jixuan entered the yard carrying a carrying pole and was a little confused when he saw his wife looking like a fighting cock.

Looking at the spot under the eaves of the house where water had been splashed, one can guess that the man in the upper house must have said something to upset his wife again.

His wife is usually very gentle and reasonable. She gets along well with many of the young wives and older women in the village. But for some reason, his wife's mother always seems to go against her.

His wife had always been accommodating to the old lady because she was his mother. She would do any work she was asked to do, and work whenever she was asked to, without uttering a single complaint.

Xia Jixuan put his arm around his wife's shoulder. Looking at the old man's pale face, he knew that the old man was trying to manipulate them and cause trouble again.

Today we're distributing grain, so being picky about food is definitely for the sake of grain. Xia Jixuan didn't waste any words: "In a little while, I'll put this year's and next year's pension money and grain with the brigade leader. You don't need to tell me anything else, anyway, I won't be giving it to you directly in the future. I'll make it clear to the brigade leader that if you dare to make things difficult for my wife while I'm away, then you won't get this pension money anymore."

"You can go and cause trouble at my unit, I don't care. Anyway, I'm planning to transfer back to my hometown to be with my wife. If you come to my house and cause trouble, I'll beat your grandson once. I can't beat your son, but as an elder, I can certainly beat my nephew." After saying that, Xia Jixuan turned around and took his wife back into the house.

I really didn't want to argue with them. His mother doted on her eldest son, youngest daughter, and eldest grandson. The saying "the youngest son and eldest grandson are the old lady's lifeblood" is certainly true, but she didn't really like her youngest son. She did cherish her eldest grandson, though; he was her eldest brother's eldest son, already 17 this year, and just like his aunt, both unruly and overweight.

The two of them are the most famous in the Xia family; they're both lazy and greedy. His younger sister, Xia Baozhu, has always wanted to marry a worker in the city. She's almost 20 now, and she's still picky about finding a partner. Look at her; she should be grateful if no one chooses her.

With her height of 1.5 meters and weight of around 130 kilograms, if it weren't for the severe drought this year, which meant there wasn't much food left to cook for her, she would probably be even fatter.

That eldest nephew was even more outrageous. At 17, he was barely 1 meters tall, yet already weighed a hefty 190 pounds. However, due to over a year of famine, he lost 6-190 pounds. But he was lazy, greedy, and unclean, his body covered in grime. People found him disgusting, let alone wanting to marry him.

These two were Old Lady Xia's precious darlings. Brother Xia and Sister-in-law Xia wanted their son to work in the fields to earn work points. The old woman, worried about tiring her beloved grandson, wouldn't let him work and wanted him to go to school. But he was slow-witted and couldn't learn anything. Every test he took either resulted in a zero or a two, never exceeding a ten.

Xia Yutang conjured up images of her aunt and cousin in her mind, and was so startled that she almost stumbled and bumped into the kang table.

These two are fit enough to be slaughtered and placed on the offering table. Seriously, their physiques... tsk tsk tsk, even carefully raised pigs these days aren't this fat. I wonder if Old Lady Xia loves them or hates them? How could she raise them to be like this? They're completely ruined.

"Don't be afraid, Tangtang, Mommy isn't scolding you. Come and eat. Mommy made you some milk powder, why don't you drink some first to fill your stomach? Mommy will be back in a bit." Xia Qingshu quickly picked up her younger sister when she saw that she seemed frightened.

He thought his sister had been frightened by the shouting outside. When Xia Jixuan entered the house, he saw his youngest daughter being held by his eldest son. He handed the carrying pole to his wife and reached out to take his daughter in.

"Tangtang, were you scared just now? It's okay, Daddy's here. When we move to the new house, Daddy will cook you something delicious." Xia Jixuan touched his little girl's wound, and suddenly remembered something, so he took off the gauze from the wound.

The whole family was stunned when they saw the wound.

Yesterday it was such a big wound, but today after the scab was removed, there was nothing there. Xia Jixuan reached out and touched it; the wound had completely disappeared, and the hair that the old doctor had cut off had grown back a little.

Seeing the man treating his daughter's wound, Liu Fangmei came over and touched the prickly little stubble, finding it quite amazing.

"Wife, did you get water for our daughter to drink in the courtyard of Qingyu Residence?" This was the most reasonable explanation he could think of at the moment; the water's effects were truly miraculous.

"Yes, there wasn't much water left at home, and the water was always hard to clean properly, so I thought I'd just get some water from that well to make milk for my daughter. The boiled water she just drank was also from there that I boiled. I was thinking that since my two sons became incredibly strong because of that water, maybe my daughter's injury would also heal? I thought that the water wouldn't harm anyone, so I wanted to try it and see, and I didn't expect it to work so well."
