Chapter 243 Liu Xiuxiu's Resentment Reappears
Liu Xiuxiu came back from get off work, dragging her tired body, but was stopped by Jia Zhang who was waiting in the yard. Jia Zhang approached her mysteriously and whispered, "Xiuxiu, you're back?"
Liu Xiuxiu looked at Jia Zhang's expression and felt a little confused. She quickly stopped pushing her bicycle and responded as politely as possible:
"Well, I'm back, Aunt Jia. If everything else is fine, I'll go back first." As she said that, she was about to push her bicycle back.
However, Jia Zhang refused to let her go easily. She stood in front of her and refused to let her go, with a calculating smile on her face:
"Xiu Xiu, wait a minute, Aunt Jia wants to tell you something. You were not at home today, so your sister brought a young girl to your house for dinner. She stayed for several hours before leaving."
When Liu Xiuxiu heard this, she couldn't help but frown. She felt a little dissatisfied, thinking that there seemed to be something behind Jia Zhang's words. But she still tried to stay calm and asked, "Oh? Really? Then why did they go to my house?"
Jia Zhang touched the ten yuan in her pocket that Yi Zhonghai had given her, feeling proud of herself. She looked at Liu Xiuxiu and deliberately kept it a secret:
"Well, I don't know. But the girl looks pretty and seems to have a good relationship with your sister."
When Liu Xiuxiu heard this, she became even more confused. She knew Jia Zhang's character, and she would not say this for no reason. Moreover, she thought of the relationship between Jia Zhang and her family, and she became a little alert.
She looked at Jia Zhang and asked in a deep voice, "Aunt Jia, what you said is neither right nor wrong. People who don't know would think you are deliberately trying to stir up trouble."
Jia Zhang was seen through by Liu Xiuxiu, and smiled awkwardly. But she was still unwilling to give up this opportunity easily, and continued:
"Oh, Xiuxiu, don't think too much. I just felt that there was something wrong with that girl, so I came to tell you. Since you don't believe me, forget it. I'll go back to cook. You really meant so well but got rejected."
When Liu Xiuxiu heard what Jia Zhang said, she understood about 80% of it. She glanced at Jia Zhang coldly, with a bit of dissatisfaction and warning in her tone:
"I understand. Thank you Aunt Jia for telling me this. But I hope you won't interfere in my family's affairs anymore."
After saying that, she pushed her bicycle and left without looking back. Jia Zhang looked at her leaving and felt a little annoyed. She touched the ten yuan in her pocket, thinking that she might have messed up, and a bit of reluctance appeared on her face.
Liu Xiuxiu parked her bike, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust her mood. She opened the door, walked into the house, and saw that only He Daqing and He Yuzhu were in the living room.
She looked around and didn't see He Yushui, so she asked directly: "Where's Yushui? Did she go home?"
When He Yuzhu heard Liu Xiuxiu's question, he replied, "He went back a long time ago. He left not long after lunch." There was a casualness in his tone, as if he didn't care about He Yushui's departure.
Hearing this, Liu Xiuxiu nodded slightly, with a seemingly casual smile on her lips. She pretended to ask casually:
"How many of you were there for lunch? What delicious food did you eat?" There was a hint of curiosity in her eyes, and it seemed that they were really just chatting about family matters.
He Yuzhu replied with a smile: "There are five of us. Dad cooked a fish, a chicken, and stir-fried some vegetables. I even left a chicken leg for you." As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face.
When Liu Xiuxiu heard that five people were having dinner, her heart skipped a beat. She remembered what Jia Zhang had said, and her doubts instantly turned into certainty.
She believed that Jia Zhang was not lying, and that the young girl had really come to her house. Her face was slightly stiff, but she tried to keep a calm tone and answered: "Really? Then I will go to the house to see Chang'an first."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the house. Her steps were a little flustered, as if she was eager to escape from this uncomfortable scene. Her shoulders were originally straight, but after leaving He Yuzhu's sight, they relaxed involuntarily.
He Yuzhu watched Liu Xiuxiu hurriedly walk into the house, feeling a little strange, but he didn't think much about it. He thought Liu Xiuxiu just missed her son, after all, Changan was her beloved son.
So he continued to talk with He Daqing about the previous topic and no longer paid attention to Liu Xiuxiu's emotional changes.
When Liu Xiuxiu returned to the house, her resentment surged up in her heart. Her prejudice against He Yushui was aroused again, and she felt that He Yushui was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and her family.
Even the chicken legs that He Yuzhu specially left for her, in Liu Xiuxiu's view, were just to comfort her and prevent her from paying attention to the people who were having dinner today.
