After being read, the plot collapsed and the protagonist went crazy!

Mrs. Xia glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and hesitated about her granddaughter's words.

After all, less than two years after the eldest daughter-in-law got married, her eldest son was stoned to death while building a river embankment. She has been quite peaceful at home these years, and has not had any unpleasant issues with men.

But what the little granddaughter said just now did come true.

[Hmph, grandma and the others must have been deceived by her. In the future, she will cheat that man out of the family's land deed, causing the whole family to almost starve to death! 】

The faces of the ladies who heard Xia Zhizhi's thoughts turned darker.

Ms. Xia Zhang felt more and more guilty, "Mom, is everything okay? You must tell me if anything happens. The boss is gone, so I have to fulfill my filial piety for him."

[Exerting filial piety means having secret meetings with men behind my grandma’s back, and scolding her for being old and immortal. When I went to the temple to pray for blessings, I didn’t forget to tell the Bodhisattva that my grandma should die soon! 】

Xia Zhizhi sighed, this eldest aunt is good at talking. Although being a widow is very pitiful, she doesn't want to leave. In this family, her status is second only to grandma, because grandma thinks she is benevolent and righteous.

But in fact, all she had to do was keep her mouth open, and her mother, Xia Chen, did all the dirty work, but her mother didn't get any better.

She had just recalled the content, and it really came to her mind.

[How should I tell grandma that she is carrying a man’s sweat towel in her arms? It was a token given to her by her cousin, and she had been carrying it since the first day they hooked up. 】

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xia's sharp gaze fell on the eldest daughter-in-law's chest, "My eldest daughter-in-law, why are you wearing such a useless dress? Are you carrying something in your arms?"

Mrs. Xia Zhang was so frightened that she almost peed. She quickly shook her head, "No... no, mother, you are mistaken. I... I am going to change clothes. The meal hasn't been cooked yet, right?"

Mrs. Xia didn't stop her. After all, if it hadn't happened, how would the eldest daughter-in-law be able to live if the news about stripping clothes and stuff got out?

But seeing the evasive look in her eyes, Mrs. Xia still kept a cautious eye. Even if there was something, it would have to be proven with solid evidence. There was no need to alert the enemy now.

Xia Jinxiu looked at her sister-in-law running away in a panic, and said firmly: "Mom, if my sister-in-law didn't do anything wrong, why are you running with a guilty conscience? I don't know what treasure she has in her arms."

As a man and a scholar, Xia Jinjun felt it was inconvenient to get involved in women's affairs, but he cared about his reputation and wanted to make this matter clear. After all, his daughter would not talk nonsense.

When Xia Chen's thin body pulled the cart back, her eyes were red and her voice was trembling, "Mom... I borrowed the cart."

"Send it back!" Mrs. Xia rolled her eyes at her. She didn't like her daughter-in-law at all.

"Send...send him back?" Xia Chen was stunned for a moment, and she, who had always been weak and unassertive, looked at her man.

Xia Jinjun was very satisfied with his wife's docility. She served him well and worked hard without complaining. It was just that her life experience was a little worse, but he was a man and it was enough if he had the ability.

"Go and send it back. When Cicada wakes up, mother said she won't send it away, so she should keep it at home to raise her."

Mrs. Xia Chen cried with joy and wiped her tears, "Mom, is it true?"

"Nonsense, your ears don't work well at any age. There is no reason for our old Xia family's offspring to be raised outside. In the future, no one will mention sending the girl out. It would be embarrassing to say so!"

Mrs. Xia Chen was used to her mother-in-law's cold looks. The most important thing was that she could keep her daughter. Even if she was beaten and scolded, it didn't matter to her.

Xia Zhizhi lay on the kang and looked outside, but unfortunately he only saw the back of his mother's thin body dragging a cart away.

[Although my mother is stupid, grandma, my mother is really filial to you. If you don’t believe it, you will know it when you fall seriously ill and collapse on the kang. It is my mother who is pooping and peeing. 】

Xia Jinxiu had already returned to the house at this time, and the only people who heard her were Mrs. Xia and Xia Jinjun.

"Second brother, it's such a cold weather. Your daughter-in-law is just a woman, and you just look at her like that. Go and help her, so as not to be seen by others, it's time to say that our Xia family abused our daughter-in-law."

At this time, Xia Jinjun also thought about how well his wife treated his mother. Even though her mother didn't treat her well, she never complained to him.

"Mom, if you don't tell me I think so too, then I'll go."

Mrs. Xia said softly "Yeah" and then went back to her room. What happened today was so weird that she had to go back and figure it out.

At dinner time, Xia Zhizhi couldn't get out of bed very well. She was too weak and was shaking when she walked. She also slept in a daze all afternoon. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark, and people outside seemed to be eating. .

She has a good nose and smells like chicken cake.

[Chicken cake, it smells so good. I want to eat it too, but it’s a pity that I can’t get it. 】

"Go, give this bowl of chicken cake to Cicada!" Old Mrs. Xia said.

"Mom, I know that girl's illness won't be cured by eating a bowl of chicken cakes. If you don't want to eat it, then give it to someone who can work. She's a child, and it won't be a problem if she eats it."

In the past, Mrs. Xia only thought that the eldest daughter-in-law was thoughtful, but now she felt a little harsh.

"Sister-in-law, you want to eat it, right? I won't fight for food with a child anyway. Besides, how about cicada? Maybe after eating this bowl of chicken cake, I will be alive and kicking tomorrow."

Although Xia Jinxiu didn't treat her two sisters-in-law well, and many families were at odds with her sister-in-law, and she relied on her favor to dote on her, but she really cared for Xia Zhizhi, her little niece, and nothing more than protecting her shortcomings.

Xia knew that her surname was Xia, and she was a descendant of their old Xia family.

Especially since the little girl has the same feelings as me and helped me a lot just now. Without her, my life would be over.

Xia Jinjun, his wife and their three sons, Xia He, Xia Jiang and Xia Hai, naturally would not argue with Xia Zhiliao.

Although Xia Jinyu, the third eldest, Xia Jinheng, the fourth eldest, and Xia Jinqing, the fifth eldest of the Xia family, have worked for a day, they will not compete with their niece for food.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you take it to me?"

Xia Jinxiu smiled and handed the egg custard into Chen's hand, "Don't be stunned. If you go later, mother won't be happy."

Mrs. Chen was very afraid of Mrs. Xia. When Xia Jinxiu said this, she swallowed her rejection.

Xia Zhang sensed something from everyone's attitude, and she became increasingly unsure. She had to meet her cousin as soon as possible, and the plan should be advanced, otherwise it would be more difficult to get the land deed from the old lady in the future.

"Mom, I thought about it and realized that this girl is seriously ill this time. I can't help her much. I will go to the temple to pray for her the day after tomorrow."

In the temple?

Mrs. Xia's chopsticks stopped for a moment and then met again. Was she going to pray and curse herself for an early death?

She clenched her fists and said without changing her expression, "Go ahead, it's rare for you to have such a heart."

"Second daughter-in-law, are you going?" Xia Zhang asked deliberately.

Mrs. Xia Chen just entered the house and saw that her daughter was awake, so she dared to reply: "I'm not going. I have a lot of work at home. Cicada needs someone to take care of her. Thank you sister-in-law for thinking of our family Cicada."

[Yes, mother, you are smart. Don’t go. Otherwise, you will be used as a shield. If your auntie elopes, grandma will accuse you of being an accomplice and beat you half to death. 】

Xia Chen's hand shook, but luckily the bowl was already placed on the kang.

She... what did she hear?
