Chapter 11 Dispute
Su Jiuyue thought with her head aslant, then shook her head, "I haven't tried it, but it can be sold for a lot of money."
"A lot of money?!" said Wu Xiyuan with his eyes brightening, "Then is it possible to buy sugar figurine?"
Su Jiuyue nodded, "Sure! Let's dig it out and give it to mother to exchange for money."
Su Jiuyue dug the soil with her small shovel. Wu Xiyuan wanted to help her, but worrying that he may damage the root with his rude movements, Su Jiuyue didn't let him do it.
Wu Xiyuan was also well-behaved. When she had dug out the whole ganoderma, it was already late.
Wu Xiyuan rubbed his belly, "Darling, I'm hungry."
They had already spent a lot of energy for walking such a long way, and Wu Xiyuan even ate several hawthorns. He must be very hungry now.
Su Jiuyue took a look at the sun. It was already inclined to the west. So she put the ganoderma in her small basket and pulled Wu Xiyuan to stand up.
"Let's go home."
The two are young and quick on their feet, so it's only just 3 p.m. when they returned home.
Before they entering the house, Tian Xiuniang's loud voice was heard, "Mother! I dug so many wild vegetables today, you have to share one more vegetable ball with me!"
"No way! Your sister-in-law dug loads of wild vegetables a few days ago, how come she didn't ask for one more ball? We are family, one ball for each person, no extra!"
"Mother! That's unfair, isn't it? Xiyuan's wife have more than one vegetable ball, right? We're all your daughters-in-law, you're really hurting our hearts!"
Liu Cuihua hummed, "unfair? I assume that you're a sensible person. I didn't expect you to talk nonsense here. You don't know why I'm partial to her? I'd like to ask you why there is less brown sugar in my jar?"
The thing that Tian Xiuniang did behind the scenes was revealed, so she is quite embarrassed at this moment. Seeing her sister-in-law looking at her, she cannot help but to defend herself for a few words.
"It's actually Peachy wanting to eat. The kid is craving for food, and I don't have anything good to give her, so I mixed some brown sugar in water for her. After all it's okay for us adults to suffer a little, we can't let the children suffer, can we?"
Liu Cuihua took a look at her eldest daughter-in-law, who remained silent, and couldn't help but sigh.
Xiyuan is in such a situation that she, as a mother, naturally has to be slightly partial to him.
The other two sons are also born by her, so although she, as a mother, is unable to do completely fair, at least she is trying to be impartial.
But her second son's wife is such an troublemaker. At the time her second son fell in love with her and insisted on marrying her, he didn't eat or drink at home for three days. Liu Cuihua had no choice but to ask people to inquire.
Later she learned that the daughter from the Tian family has no major shortcomings despite her love for taking advantage of others, so she made the decision for her son to marry her.
But only after the marriage, Liu Cuihua got to know that this woman even took advantage of their own families!
"Yes, we cannot let the children suffer, then the half of the jar of brown sugar left will be divided to my eldest son and Xiyuan!" Liu Cuihua said.
How could Tian Xiuniang agree? She just stole a few times. It's not a big deal. There is still a lot of brown sugar left in the remaining half of the jar!
"Mother! I only scooped up two spoons and definitely did not drink more. You at least share a little less with me?!"
She rolled her eyes at her, "No way！"
Liu Cuihua gave her a blank look, "Don't you even think about that!"
"Mother, I don't mind if you give it to my sister-in-law's family, but the couple of Xiyuan didn't do anything, and they don't have children, so how can they have a share?"
