Alia asked curiously, “Uncle, you don’t seem to want to go to Auntie’s house very much! ”
Lull’s husband did not say anything. Lull said first, “He doesn’t like to go to begin with.” Her husband’s family was from another province. Every New Year, National Day, and Tomb Sweeping Day, she would drive more than a thousand kiloters back to her parents’ house in the countryside with him without complaint. However, her parents’ house was less than a ten-minute drive, and he was unwilling to co. He was not even willing to celebrate the holidays. She would bring gifts to her in-laws, cook at their houses, feed chickens, help with work, and so on. However, her husband would not. Every ti he went to her parents’ house, her husband would at most buy so groceries. When he arrived, he would sit at the side and play with his phone.
Lull’s husband sneered. “Why would I go to your family’s house? To listen to how you spend money on your parents?”
Lull was furious. “Aren’t you going too far with your words? You’ve never told my parents that you don’t agree!” She was the only one running on both sides. Her husband asked her to break up with her parents and settle things with her brother, but he would never stand on her side. He always let her settle it herself. If she didn’t handle it well, she would have to face his sarcasm when she returned.
At this mont, Lull’s husband said, “You can handle your family’s matters yourself. What has it got to do with ? I don’t want to get involved in your family’s matters.”
Lull was speechless. She said angrily, “Put down!”
Lull e s husband ignored her and carried her forward.
Alia watched the two of them argue, her mind filled with questions. “Brother, is this what others an when they say people can’t communicate?”
William nodded. “Yes.’
Alia sighed. Her face was serious, and she frowned. She said, “Uncle, I think you’re wrong. Although you understand logic, you’re unwilling to be reasonable. You’re also unwilling to get involved in muddy water. Then, you won’t stand out and say anything even if you’re unhappy. You know that Auntie is very muddle-headed in the face of family matters, but you won’t do anything except criticize Auntie.”
Alia did not know why the adults were so strange, nor did she know if they were doing the right thing. However, from what she knew, her uncle and auntie were husband and wife. If there was anything, they should resolve it together. For example, her maternal grandmother and maternal grandmother. Her maternal grandfather would sotis criticize her maternal grandmother, but her maternal grandfather was stubborn and soft-hearted. As he talked about her maternal grandmother, he helped her do things well. Then why did this uncle think that the auntie was muddle-headed but stand by and do nothing?
Lull’s husband choked and realized that he couldn’t refute. He said in a muffled voice, “l don’t want to deal with these troubleso things. They affect my mood.”
Lull pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. Alia didn’t say anything either.
She just leaned on Alex’s shoulder and asked her doubts in a low voice,
“Daddy, who’s right and who’s wrong, Uncle and Auntie?”
Alex said lightly, “It’s all wrong.” He listened roughly. Two-thirds of Lull’s inco was spent on her parents and brother because she felt that her husband wasn’t poor. It was human nature for her to help her parents and brother more now that she had the ability. Lull’s husband was unhappy, but he didn’t talk to his in-laws. He only knew how to give Lull a cold war and mock her. Everyone didn’t solve the problem and only knew how to bla each other.
Everyone fell silent as they entered the neighborhood in silence and returned to Lull’s parents’ house. Mrs. Way and Mr. Way and Gran were still awake. Lull had been coming over early in the morning to buy groceries and cook. They were all used to it.
When Lull reached ho, her body felt a little better. She struggled and said in a muffled voice, “I’ll boil water.’
Lull’s husband thought for a mont and followed her into the kitchen. Soon, the sound of two people arguing could be heard from the kitchen.
Alia sat obediently on the sofa and stared at the door of one of the rooms. “Ghosts, co out…” she muttered as she pinched her fingers.
William asked from the side, “Is this useful? Didn’t you say that it was an evil ghost? Can you defeat it?”
Alia thought for a mont. “Brother, you’re right!” In the next mont, the unlucky, cowardly, and flirtatious ghost were thrown out.
The flirtatious ghost: “What? You want us to work during the Ghost Festival?”
The unlucky guy looked resistant. “l won’t do it!”
Cowardly Ghost: “l can do it…”
Alia pointed at a room door. “Brothers and sisters, can you help Mia catch the ghost inside? Just drag him out…” She blinked and looked innocently at the three evil spirits, her face pleading..
