326 Bad Luck

When Xue Wufu and Xue Yifu returned after watering the plants, they saw Grandma Liu sitting under the shade of a tree. The two clusters of green daffodils at the entrance of their courtyard had been plucked. Due to the scorching sun, they quickly dried up. It was unlikely that they would be able to grow again. Xue Yan knew that these were planted by Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. He was livid and wanted to throw the manure bucket he used to water the plants at Grandma Liu!

“She pulled Jiang Yue and Xue Yan’s hard work…”

Xue Wufu rolled his sleeves up, ready to settle the score.

On the other hand, Xue Yifu was afraid of causing trouble and panicked, so he stopped Xue Wufu.

Grandma Liu had always been quite arrogant, but she didn’t expect Xue Wufu to be so bold. He really came over with a bucket of manure, ready to throw it in her direction. She was surprised by this move and moved back.

However, when she saw Xue Yifu blocking Xue Wufu, she became arrogant again. “Go on then! Move! You’ll have to pay with your lives if anything happens to me!”

At this moment, Liu Guixia opened the door to the courtyard and shouted at Xue Yifu and Xue Wufu, “You guys, come in quickly.”

Xue Yifu hurriedly pulled Xue Wufu in.

When Grandma Liu saw the courtyard door open, she got up and rushed over. However, just as she reached the courtyard door, it slammed shut again, almost hitting her old face. She immediately started cursing again.

Xue Wufu was fuming in the courtyard. “She pulled out all the flowers Xue Yan and Jiang Yue planted! Xue Yan and Jiang Yue worked so hard to keep them alive! They’ll be devastated by the news when they come back!”

Liu Guixia wasn’t happy either, but she still tried to calm him down. “We can’t really fight with her. She’s my mother after all and an old lady. Forget it. My brother’s house has the same plant, I’ll just dig his plants out and replant them here.”

“That’s not the same!” Xue Wufu was still angry.

“I guess that’s the only way.” Liu Guixia sighed. Having such a mother was probably because of a sin she had committed in her past life.

It didn’t take long for the whole village to know about Grandma Liu’s behavior. Everyone knew she just wanted money anyway. It wasn’t that hard of a puzzle to piece together knowing their history. Hence, no matter how much Grandma Liu argued, no one responded.

Even when Wang Sufen passed by, she glared at the old lady in disdain. Although she wanted to bask in the glory and get money from Liu Guixia’s family as well, family meant everything to her. Even if she had to rely on her son for a pleasant life, she would never treat her own daughter like this. No matter what, she was still her own daughter, and she was better than those outside of the family.

Xue Da heard about what happened. Every family had its own difficulties, and as an old man, he decided to turn a blind eye and pretended not to know.

Moreover, the one who came to make trouble was his daughter-in-law’s mother. It was not his place to interfere. It was better to let his son and daughter-in-law deal with it themselves.

Xue Dagui had heard about it as well, but he had woken up especially late that day, and it was almost noon when he heard about it. He didn’t even heat up the leftover rice from yesterday and piled it all into a bowl with some salted vegetables. Then, he clutched his bowl and ate with big mouthfuls of rice to fill his famished stomach as he strode over to watch the joke.

He didn’t stand very closely, he was just under the shade of a tree in front of Sanfu’s house. As he ate, he looked at Grandma Liu who was under the shade opposite of him.

Grandma Liu had been shouting the entire morning, and it was obvious that she was exhausted. Her eyes drooped, and she looked unsatisfied with the situation.

Xue Dagui looked at Grandma Liu and couldn’t help but sigh. “My brother’s family must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to have relatives like us.”
