Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 88

"I'm a rough girl." Xia Junyan replied, "I have to do rough work every day, and it's a waste to wear such good clothes." As she spoke, she saw Tao Yuxin on the opposite side showing an unabashed sneer, but Liu's Turning his head to one side, he returned to his innocent appearance.

"This..." Liu was a little embarrassed.

Tao Yuxin said: "Mother, when you and your sister made clothes, didn't you help Wang Ma and pulled some cloth? Since sister Xia has to do rough work, why don't you use that piece of cloth to make some clothes so that you can change and wash them?"

"Don't bother my sister." Xia Junyan said, "If you want to return the clothes, I will go and pull the cloth myself."

Xia Junyan could see clearly that, except for Tao Qingnian, this family was extremely hypocritical.Liu Shi and her two daughters even played red faces and played bad faces. No educated person would let his daughter say such rude words again and again!Xia Junyan just felt it was extremely ridiculous. Tao Qingnian invited her to this meal, and she didn't beg for it. Who is this group of people showing such a fearful look!
Comparing Wang Ma with her everywhere, these young ladies look down on poor relatives and even talk around the bush in a sarcastic way.

I'm afraid even Tao Qingnian...

Forget it, anyway, she didn't want to have any entanglements with the Tao family.It is worthwhile to see the character of the family clearly with one meal.

"Too much trouble today, I only asked the shopkeeper for half a day off, and I have to go back to work, I can't continue to accompany my aunt and sister."

"You child, why are you in such a hurry. Shopkeeper Sun of Jufulou is an acquaintance. I'll let the kid tell him, it doesn't matter if he gives you a few days off."

Xia Junyan really didn't want to continue dealing with Liu Shi, so she said directly: "Don't bother. I'll go back now and leave."

"You... hey..." Liu frowned, "Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay. Remember to come and play when you have free time."

After a meal, Xia Junyan found that the smell of boiled fish fillets in the kitchen was already drooling after returning to Jufulou.Lao Jiang really has superb cooking skills, and this boiled fish fillet is [-]% similar to the authentic Sichuan cuisine of later generations.

At this moment, people were coming and going in the kitchen, and for a while, Xia Junyan didn't know what to do.In the afternoon, shopkeeper Sun counted the running water for the day, and when he saw Xia Junyan, he said kindly as before: "Why did you come back so early? You can't go to uncle's house, so you should play more. Like you A girl in this grade is either married as a daughter-in-law, or still embroidering in the boudoir. Your uncle loves you, so you should make more plans for yourself."

Is this... a eviction order?

Xia Junyan sighed silently.That's right, in the eyes of people of this era, she was an orphan before, and shopkeeper Sun Da took pity on her and let her live for a while because of his face.Now that her uncle is here, it is naturally under his care, especially in the eyes of outsiders, this uncle is quite concerned about this niece.There are no idlers in Jufu Building, so there is really no need for her to stay any longer.
