Chapter 118: Chapter One Hundred Eighteen: It’s Because of
Although he did not get the reaction he wanted from his own sister, Zhao Xiaogui was still unable to hide his excitent and said, “Dad, Mom, Sis, let tell you about this Xia Chengzu guy. He might look decent usually, but who knew he would actually lay hands on his own sister!”
Zhao Xiaogui described the scene vividly and continued, “Luckily, our squad leader just happened to pass by and apprehended him, preventing him from succeeding.”
“Who knew,” he said, “Xia i instead beca relentless, jumped up, and scratched Xia Chengzu’s face, leaving big marks, then she ran off.”
“After the old lady of the Xia Family arrived and saw Xia Chengzu’s face all scratched up, yet not seeing Xia i around, she imdiately blad the squad leader, which really angered him.”
“Also, I heard that today, the wife of the Eldest Xia fell at ho for no reason and twisted her back!”
Aunt Xia looked incredulous and asked hurriedly, “Really?”
Zhao Xiaogui chuckled and said, “Of course it’s true! Would I mishear or forget the Xia Family’s misfortunes?”
“Oh my, that’s aweso! Which deity blessed this and dealt the Xia Family their couppance!” Aunt Xia clapped her hands joyously and laughed, “I should offer more incense and bow a few more tis to this deity!”
Chuyi choked on the water she was drinking.
“Chuyi, be careful, be careful,” Aunt Xia said as she patted her back and handed her another glass of water, “Here, drink so water, take it slow.”
“Kids, always choking on water,” Uncle Xia remarked lovingly as he shook his head watching her.
Zhao Xiaogui shook his head and, used to the privilege of elder affection towards his cousin, could not help but laugh and say, “Hehe, sis, you must have choked from happiness upon hearing about the Xia Family’s misfortunes!”
“Sis, when mom goes to kowtow to that deity on the first day of the New Year, you should go too! Kowtow a few extra tis, let’s pray that the Xia Family encounters more retributions!”
“Cough, cough, cough!” Chuyi choked even more violently.
Seeing this, Aunt Xia beca alard, grabbed Zhao Xiaogui, and started beating him, exclaiming, “I told you not to annoy your sister, I told you not to bother her!”
“Stop, stop, stop!” Chuyi intervened quickly, her breath easing, and said, “Aunt, it’s not Xiao Gui’s fault, it was .”
Aunt Xia, still holding Zhao Xiaogui’s ear, said, “How is it not his fault? Who listens to rumors all day and speaks nonsense?”
This could an she still cared about the Xia Family.
Chuyi chuckled and said, “Aunt, I ant to say that the fight between the siblings of the Xia Family was because of .”
“What?” All three people in the room were stunned.
“Chuyi, tell us, what’s the real situation?” Uncle Xia was the first to co to his senses.
So she explained the whole situation.
“That’s how it should’ve been done!” Aunt Xia took great satisfaction from the story. Uncle Xia, on the other hand, remained silent, probably recalling Mother Xia.
“Let’s not talk about the Xia Family, it’s depressing,” Aunt Xia quickly changed the subject.
“Yes, let’s not talk about the Xia Family anymore,” Chuyi picked up the cue and said to Uncle Xia, “Oh, Uncle, speaking of which, I was just about to discuss sothing with you.”
“What is it?” Uncle Xia, ca back to reality and asked.
“The Lunar New Year is coming, and that shop of mine in town is sitting idle, which is quite a waste. I was thinking of starting it up,” Chuyi slowly said.
This had been on her mind for a while.
“You an, before the New Year?” Uncle Xia frowned and asked again.
“Yep,” Chuyi nodded, “I’m actually planning to earn so holiday money.”
Uncle Xia pondered for a mont.
“So, what do you plan to do exactly?” As soone experienced, he did not just shoot her down but instead asked in detail.
