Chapter 136 Stupid and Poisonous

The next morning, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month—

Xia Family —

The first floor has been aired out for a few days and feels ready, so we'll start building the second floor.

As the saying goes, many hands make light work; the framework for the second floor was completed on the same day.

Seventeenth——

The second floor began to have its wall panels installed; the pebbles planned for the first floor were also compacted, and pebbles were laid on top to enclose vegetable gardens, etc.

In late summer, several boxes were buried in various locations on the ground, echoing the boxes in the walls.

The 18th —

The roof beam of the Xia family's new house was raised.

Almost 90% of the villagers, including the elderly and children, came.

Xia's father specially prepared dozens of bamboo firecrackers, threw them into the fire, and they exploded with loud "bang bang bang" sounds to celebrate the completion of the new house.

As summer faded, she stood in the garden, gazing blankly at the new house, a look of reluctance in her eyes.

She couldn't stay at home any longer; she had to get the household tidied up.

“You’re here,” Qian Duoduo said with a smile as she approached Xia Mo.

Xia Mo turned her head and glanced at Qian Duoduo.

"The whole village has come. Your house is so beautiful, spacious and bright. The main room is huge, it can fit dozens of people. The kitchen and other rooms are all built, and there's even a corridor... It's like a big house in the city. I imagine it would be very comfortable to live in there, right?" Qian Duoduo looked at the house built by the Xia family with envy, and a longing rose in her heart. She really wanted to live there.

"You want to stay?" Xia Mo turned her head and looked at Qian Duoduo with a half-smile.

Qian Duoduo realized that what she had just said had given away her thoughts, and quickly shook her head and waved her hands, "No, that's not true, I was just joking, hahaha..."

“My eldest and second brothers are so outstanding, it’s normal for them to be chosen. Those who aren’t chosen should wash their eyes,” Xia Mo said matter-of-factly. After a pause, she added, “But my second brother has already registered for the preliminary examination this year, so he definitely won’t be in a hurry to get married in the next four or five years,” Xia Mo said with a smile.

The Qian family set their sights on Brother Xia, who was good at business, while Qian Duoduo set her sights on Brother Xia, who was refined and good at studying.

“Uh, your second brother is the same age as your eldest brother, and he’s nineteen this year. Isn’t it too late for him to start preparing for the imperial examinations?” Qian Duoduo’s eyes widened, and a wave of sadness washed over her.

Xia Mo glanced at Qian Duoduo, and in that glance, it seemed as if she could see right through Qian Duoduo's little thoughts.

“Actually, he could get married first and then continue his scientific expeditions? His wife could stay at home and help him take care of the family or something,” Qian Duoduo said, her voice growing hoarse as she spoke, and she realized more and more that she had revealed her true intentions.

As summer draws to a close, let's face the reality of money.

“Our family will hire a few servants, some to guard the house and others to do housework,” Xia Mo felt her heart soften since returning to this world, and she couldn’t bear to pierce Qian Duoduo’s girlish heart.

Qian Duoduo stared blankly at Xia Mo, looking as if her soul had been taken away.

Xia Mo turned her gaze back to the new house, already pondering how to persuade her parents to accept the caregiver and the old maid.

And these guards and old women were certainly not simple beings.

19th —

The news that the new house was being renovated spread throughout Anjia Village, and from the villagers, it reached the ears of the Liu and He families.

The neighboring village—

Liu family —

The face that Liu's mother was beaten on the night of the 15th has not yet healed. The redness and swelling on her face have subsided, but the broken skin is still there, the wound has scabbed over, and it is unbearably itchy.

Liu's mother was preoccupied with thoughts of how to retaliate against Xia's mother if they met again.

Liu Da went to Anping County and brought back the latest news about the Xia family.

"The Xia family has built a new house, which is about two acres in size. Now the main building has been built, and it is very grand... just like a large courtyard in the county town. In addition to the main building, the Xia family has also reserved four plots of land to build auxiliary buildings, intending to give each of their three sons and one daughter an independent house. The Xia family must be very rich now... to spend so much money to build a mansion."

Liu Da spoke vividly to his father, Liu Er, and Liu San, gesturing wildly, as if he too had the chance to live in that big house.

After excitedly finishing his speech, Liu Da realized that the Xia family's current prosperity had nothing to do with their Liu family!

Liu Da and his family members remained silent.

With Mr. Liu leading the way, the entire Liu family looked at Mrs. Liu, who was also listening intently.

Realizing the danger, Liu's mother turned to hide back in the house, but Liu's father grabbed her hair.

With his hand still holding Liu's hair, Liu's father dragged Liu's mother to the center of the hall and beat her severely.

Liu Da, Liu Er, and Liu San, mindful of their status, did not lay a hand on Liu's mother, but they all chose to watch her being beaten coldly.

Liu's mother lay on the ground, clutching her head, wailing like a pig being slaughtered. She also regretted breaking off the engagement with the Xia family.

The news that the Xia family's new house was completed naturally reached the ears of Liu Juan, the married daughter of the Liu family.

Despite being covered in bruises and swelling, Liu Juan listened to news about the Xia family from others, and in her heart, she felt resentment towards the Liu family.

If it weren't for Liu's mother accepting money from someone else to make her break off the engagement with the Xia family, now... she would have a share of everything the Xia family has!

Liu Juan's sourness and jealousy were written all over her face. Her husband, Chen Chu, saw this and felt uncomfortable. Thinking of Brother Xia's wealth and looks, he vented his anger on Liu Juan.

The He family—

He Hua returned to her parents' home with a beaming smile on her face, carrying her bundle.

When the He family saw He Hua, they were all stunned.

Mother He had also thought about having He Hua remarry Xia Erge, but it was just a thought. She knew that once the Xia family got better, they would definitely want to marry a virgin. Who would want a divorced man?

But He Hua didn't understand it that way.

The comical He Hua took a bold step and directly divorced her husband, Wang Fa.

Wang Fa refused to divorce her, only offering a letter of divorce. He Hua thought there were better people out there, so she agreed without hesitation!

This led to the scene where He Hua carried her bundle back to her parents' home.

"Did you have a fight with Wang Fa?" He's mother asked, never expecting... He Hua's answer.

“Wang Fa divorced me,” He Hua said casually.

Mother He's vision went black, her body swayed, and she trembled all over. She said, "What...what did you say?"

"Mother, should I go directly to Anjia Village today? Or should I rest for a day and go tomorrow?" He Hua put down her bundle and asked her mother.

Mother He clutched her chest and howled, summoning Father He, He Da, and He Er.

He's father returned with a gloomy face after hearing the news from the Xia family. Upon hearing about He Hua's behavior, he took off his shoes and slapped He Hua with the soles of his shoes.

He Hua covered her face and head, crying, "Mom, please tell her, you can't hit my face! My face, you can't hit my face..."

He's father vented his anger by beating her, and He Hua was also beaten until she fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Most importantly, He Hua didn't think her behavior was wrong. She even fantasized, "I'd better go to the Xia family right now. With all these injuries, Sheng You will definitely feel sorry for me. I can then have a little intimate time with Sheng You. So what if the Xia family finds out?"

You could say He Hua is brainless, but she's also quite clever.
