Chapter 5 The chaotic Luo family

Old Lady Luo’s face turned red with anger. She glared fiercely at Wu Haixia, “If there’s no food, just cook some, don’t tell me you don’t even have corn gruel?” She couldn’t believe that Luo Xingci, that little bitch, was so ruthless. Old Lady Luo furrowed her brows and muttered, “How did Luo Xingci become like this in just one day? What went wrong?” You see, the previous Luo Xingci wouldn’t even dare to speak to them loudly, and she would always keep her head down like she had lost her father. She wouldn’t dare to resist them in any way. She wouldn’t dare to refuse to work, otherwise, how could she and Wu Haixia have been so leisurely all these years? Wu Haixia’s eyes flickered, “Mother, why don’t we find an old bachelor and sell her? She’s probably possessed by a dirty spirit now.

We can go find a fortune teller. If that doesn’t work, we can only sell her. Otherwise, we’ve raised her for so long, and we haven’t gotten any benefits.” She had thought about it. If Luo Xingci listened to her, she wouldn’t mind keeping her for a while. At least when Luo Xingci was home, she wouldn’t have to work, and someone would give her a shoulder massage. Whose life in the village was better than hers? Old Lady Luo pondered for a moment and agreed, “Okay, find that bitch back as soon as possible.” Her cloudy eyes narrowed as she looked in a certain direction.

Soon, the other Luo family members came back from work. As soon as they walked in, they saw that there was no food on the table. Luo Lao Er and Luo Lao San frowned at the empty table, and they felt that the atmosphere at home was a little off. At the same time, Wu Haixia came out of the kitchen with a bowl of corn gruel. “You’re all back? Come eat.” She didn’t have much appetite for this, but she couldn’t not eat. If she didn’t, wouldn’t it all go to the others? Luo Lao San, Luo Jianmin, saw that it was his wife who made the meal, and it was corn gruel. He asked in a deep voice, “Mother, why is Haixia cooking today? Where’s Luo Xingci? Where did that bitch go to slack off?” He scanned the room with his eyes but couldn’t find Luo Xingci. In the past, Luo Xingci would always cook, serve the food, and wait for him to come back to eat. And the food wasn’t this bad before. What had happened in the house? When it came to this, the anger that Old Lady Luo had just suppressed rose again.

She slammed her chopsticks on the table and said coldly, “What else could it be? It’s your good daughter, not only did she beat me and Haixia, but she also took all the food in the house. I don’t know which wild man’s house she took it to.” Luo Lao Er, Luo Jianjun’s wife, Li Zhaodi, immediately jumped up, “What? That bitch dared to do that? If I catch her, I’ll skin her alive.” She looked up at Old Lady Luo and said, “Mother, why don’t we quickly find a husband for that bitch? I know there’s a butcher in the next village. He looks good, he’s thirty-five this year, and he built a house with blue bricks and tiles. He also has two hundred yuan for a dowry. The only problem is that he likes to beat people when he’s drunk, which means he’s strong.” Afraid that Old Lady Luo wouldn’t agree, she brought up her son, “Mother, you know Jiaze is twenty years old, he should be looking for a wife.

” Thinking that her grandson was twenty years old and still didn’t have a girlfriend, Old Lady Luo was also anxious. Her grandson was always out and about, she didn’t know where he was, and his peers already had two children, but her grandson didn’t even have a date. Her heart was blocked. “Okay, then you go find someone and ask if you can ask for more dowry. Just think of it as buying her life. From now on, Luo Xingci’s life and death have nothing to do with our Luo family. Otherwise, if she’s beaten to death, people outside won’t know what to say about our Luo family.” “Mother, shouldn’t I get some of the dowry money? After all, Xingci is my daughter, and my son will also need to marry a wife. How can you give it all to Jiaze?” Wu Haixia wouldn’t agree no matter what.

 It was clearly her daughter, and it was like she, Li Zhaodi, had a son and she didn’t. Luo Lao San also chimed in, “Yes, Mother, you can’t be so partial. Xingci is my daughter, you can’t sell my daughter to get money for your nephew to marry a wife. What, doesn’t your second brother’s family also have a daughter?” He had always been at odds with Luo Lao Er. Whenever the Luo family elders had something, they would think of Luo Lao Er first.

Although he didn’t like Luo Xingci either, even if she was sold, the money should all be his. Seeing that her husband was on her side, Wu Haixia became even more brazen. She puffed out her chest and continued, “That’s right, Fangfang is not young either. She’s either at her classmates’ houses or slacking off. What kind of family would dare to take her? Second sister-in-law, you might as well find a husband for your daughter sooner. You can figure out the dowry for your son yourself. I must have the dowry for my daughter. If I have to, I’ll take my son and go out to live with my lover.” “Lao San’s wife, why don’t you control her? Look at her, is she even making sense? We’re all family, why are you separating yourself?” Old Lady Luo stared fixedly at Luo Lao San. She admitted that she was partial to the second son, but she thought she was fair to the third son’s family.

 “Mother, isn’t Jianmin right? You’re partial. Why does my Xingci have to work, while Fangfang doesn’t? Why should the money from selling my Xingci go to Jiaze to marry a wife? Will you give me some of Fangfang’s dowry then?” As long as her husband was on her side, Wu Haixia wasn’t afraid of this old hag. If she had to, she would take her son and go find her lover. Did she really think she wanted to stay in the Luo family? If it wasn’t for someone to help with the work and she didn’t have to do housework, she wouldn’t want to stay in the Luo family. Just as Li Zhaodi was about to say something, Old Man Luo glanced at everyone, “Alright, stop arguing. You figure out the money for Jiaze to marry a wife yourselves, Lao Er’s family. The most important thing now is to find her back. Whoever’s daughter it is, whoever gets the dowry. Eat!” He didn’t want to see the family in chaos. He wanted the family to be harmonious. Besides, there was more than one girl in the Luo family, and what Lao San’s wife said was also right. He didn’t want to make a fuss over this money.

Seeing that the old man had spoken, Old Lady Luo didn’t say anything more. Anyway, she would get that money. How come she hadn’t noticed before that Wu Haixia, that bitch, would dare to talk back to her? Li Zhaodi’s plans were thwarted. She glared fiercely at Wu Haixia, looking at her fair skin, she felt a pang of jealousy. “Mother, Haixia doesn’t have anything to do at home, and now that Xingci, that dead girl, is gone, shouldn’t she go out to work too?” It had been agreed that each family would send two people to work. Her family had her and her husband, and Lao San’s family had Lao San and Luo Xingci. Now that she couldn’t be found, she wouldn’t let Wu Haixia, that bitch, eat for free at home. She had to go out to work. She didn’t believe that if she was exposed to the wind, sun, and rain, she would still be like she is now.
