Chapter 1380: 202, Seductive Cheap Goods_2
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing who to send a ssage, Xiao Linshuang and Xiao Shitou enthusiastically volunteered with candy in hand because they couldn’t sit still; they were always running here or there, being quite botherso if left in the room.
Lady Liu imdiately nodded, taking the opportunity to let them go out and play.
Not long after, Lan Hua ca with a big basin of dough. Before she even entered, she shouted, “Lin Yuan, you heartless person, didn’t even think to co out to et !”
While serving tea to several aunts and sisters-in-law, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “It’s been a while since Lan Hua called out to , I’m not quite used to it! All right, ladies, please have a seat, I’ll go et our Madam Ma!”
Lan Hua’s fiancé was the son of the Old Ma Grocery Store in town, so calling her Madam Ma wasn’t wrong.
Aunt Wang threw a sunflower seed shell at Lin Yuan’s face and spat out, “Madam Ma? It’s just you lifting her up!”
That comnt again caused everyone to burst into laughter.
By the ti Lin Yuan ca out, Lan Hua had already reached the kitchen door. Although she complained that Lin Yuan hadn’t co out to et her, she really didn’t want Lin Yuan to do any strenuous work now that she saw her.
Lan Hua slapped away Lin Yuan’s hand that was about to take the dough, intentionally scowling and snorting, “Only when called do you co out, showing no sincerity at all, hmph! Have you made new friends in the Capital city and started to look down on your poor little village girl friend?”
Pfft.
Lin Yuan found it amusing internally; no wonder she could sense the acidity in Lan Hua’s tone the mont she entered. It turned out that Lan Hua was worried about being neglected for new friends.
“How could I? Who said you’re a poor village girl? You are going to be the future owner of Old Ma Grocery Store!” Lin Yuan hugged Lan Hua’s waist and buried her head in her shoulder. She wasn’t usually good at expressing her emotions, but having not seen Lan Hua for several months, she realized what true friendship was.
Lan Hua, with a look of disdain, continuously said, “Oh, get off, get off! Just talk, why do you have to be all touchy, it’s so cheesy!”
Though her mouth complained about the cheesiness, her hands remained still with a smile lingering on her lips, clearly having missed Lin Yuan a lot.
“I’m not getting up!” Lin Yuan sighed. “Ah, Lan Hua, you don’t know how bad the people in the Capital city are. They bully for being from a poor place, saying I’m a lowly village girl who doesn’t fit in. They all… oh, my neck!”
“What?! They dared to bully you?” Lan Hua had been embracing Lin Yuan a second ago, and the next, she had darted up, almost causing Lin Yuan’s neck to twist.
Now Lan Hua wasn’t concerned with her neck anymore as she rolled up her sleeves and stord toward the North Room, furiously shouting, “Where’s Xia Zheng? Let him co out right now; I didn’t entrust you to him to be bullied like this! Useless! His wife gets bullied and he doesn’t even speak up? No, what to speak; he should have slapped those nasty bitches! What’s wrong with coming from a poor place, being a village girl? Even if poor, it’s better than those condescending snobs!”
Watching Lan Hua roll up her sleeves and get ready to reprimand Xia Zheng with such vigor, Lin Yuan felt tears welling up in her eyes. Indeed, no matter where she went or how many friends she made, the one who truly cared for her was only Lan Hua. She rembered how shy she felt when she first t Xia Zheng, yet today, she was ready to fight him for her—a true friend, a true sister!
While Lin Yuan was reflecting, Lan Hua had already called Xia Zheng out and was giving him a stern talking-to right in front of Lin Yuan.
Xia Zheng blinked confusedly, completely unaware that he had just been calmly serving tea and water inside the house for Liu Shi and Aunt Wang and suddenly had angered Lan Hua.
Lin Yuan stood aside, watching the scene unfold with amusent but didn’t stop Lan Hua from defending her and teaching Xia Zheng a lesson. If she didn’t let Lan Hua thoroughly vent on Xia Zheng, Lan Hua probably wouldn’t feel at ease.
Lan Hua went on a rant until her throat was practically smoking, then touched her neck and glared at Xia Zheng, “Don’t try to be slick with —did you rember what I just told you? Let tell you, don’t think you can bully our Lin Yuan just because she’s quiet and easy-going. If she gets bullied by other won in the Capital city again, even if I’m far away in Lin family hollow, I would grab a knife and fight them! Did you hear ?”
