Chapter 154 1 Aunt who loves her nephew 4
Half a year later, the two children were doing very well in their studies, and the two daughters also learned a lot of words.
Luo Chen embroidered a large screen and bought it to Mr. Li's house in the county town. He received 150 taels of silver and immediately bought the small courtyard he liked. Fortunately, the selling price was too high and no one was interested, otherwise Luo Chen would have been able to collect the money.
The whole family was very happy looking at the big house. Luo Chen arranged his two sons who were already in school to live in the front yard, and then he and his youngest son lived in the main house in the backyard. The two daughters lived in the west wing, and the east wing was left for Lao Bai, because he had to go back to farm and therefore could not live there for a few days.
During the Chinese New Year, Luo Chen brought meat and vegetables to the town to celebrate the New Year. Because it was a new house, he had to celebrate the New Year here. He also made a new set of clothes for the children, bought a lot of snacks, candies, firecrackers and other delicious and fun things, and bought an extra head flower for his two daughters. The two little girls happily looked at themselves in front of the mirror.
Lao Bai also put on a new piece of clothing and heated his wine on the stove. Looking at the happy family, he felt for the first time in many years that there was hope in this life.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Qin family in the village ate dumplings, cleaned up the dishes, and waited for Luo Chen to come and pay New Year's greetings. In the past, there was a plate of melon seeds on the table every time the sister-in-law came, but this year there was none.
Although she didn't say anything, she had to let her sister-in-law know that she, as the sister-in-law, was unhappy and reflect on her mistakes.
If she knew she was wrong, she would reluctantly help the three brats of the Bai family when her son became successful. If their attitude was not good, she would not let her son pay attention to them even if they came to her for help.
After waiting for a long time, no one came. Qin became even angrier. Could it be that she could not let this sister-in-law come to her house?
Qin was sulking alone, when Hu Siqi came back and said, "Mom, there's no one at my aunt's house."
Qin asked quickly, "What, no one? How could there be no one? Where did they go on New Year's Day? Did they go to worship their ancestors?"
Hu Siqi shook his head: "It doesn't look like that. I leaned over the wall and saw no signs of firecrackers or firecrackers inside. It looks like no one lives there."
Qin was about to run out when Hu Xie came in: "Where are you going? Someone will come to pay New Year's greetings soon. If you run out now, what will happen if someone comes?"
Qin said, "Who is coming? Siqi just said that no one is at my sister-in-law's house. Where did this family go during the New Year?"
Hu Xie didn't believe it: "How could there be no one here? Maybe he went to worship his ancestors and will be back soon."
Hu Siqi interrupted, "There's no one inside. It's cold and deserted. It doesn't look like anyone was there last night."
Hu Xie still didn't believe it, so he went over to take a look himself, and found that there was really no one there. He wondered where this family had gone.
After asking around with the villagers, I learned from Bai Yunxuan's classmate Lin Yi that my sister had bought a house in the town and would spend the New Year there.
Hu Xie was surprised and puzzled as to when his useless brother-in-law became so capable that he could not only send his two sons to the school in the town, but also buy a house in the town.
Also, when did his sister become estranged from him? He knew since childhood that his sister was taught by her parents to revolve around him. How could she suddenly change?
Hu Xie was eager to know what tricks his brother-in-law Lao Bai had used to not only make his family suddenly rich, but also trick his sister into not being close to him.
In the past, if the Bai family had money, Hu Luochen would definitely think of sending his son to the town school first, rather than buying a house.
After returning home, Hu Xie told Qin about this incident, and Qin angrily blamed Hu Xie.
"Look at you. I told you a long time ago that Hu Luochen had money and asked you to borrow some so that our son wouldn't have to stay in this small village. But you refused to go. We are so good to her. She has money but doesn't help her relatives. Instead, she buys a house. I think she doesn't care about you as her brother. You still think about her every day. Now you know who she is."
Hu Xie angrily scolded his wife: "Come on, if you knew earlier why didn't you go and borrow it? You are still her sister-in-law. Don't you brag about your relationship with my sister all day long and say that you are the best sister-in-law in the village?"
"You, I am her sister-in-law, but you are her real brother. Which one is more useful, you say or I say? Do you think I have never been there? She always changed the subject. Later, even her son couldn't get a bite of food when he came to visit. She used to please us like a dog, didn't she want us to help her family? Now that she has money, she has turned her face against us. This is your good sister."
"Stop talking. I'll go to town and take a look later."
"Go to the town. Okay. I want to go too. I want to see her ashamed face when she sees her brother and sister-in-law coming to visit. I want to ask her why she lets her nephew stay in such a small village while she enjoys herself in the town."
At this moment, Hu Siqi's mind was full of thoughts about how his aunt had become rich but didn't cook any delicious food for him. He also wanted to go to the town with her to play. It was New Year's Day and his aunt's family was rich again, so there must be a lot of delicious food at home.
Following the system's prompt, Luo Chen knew that the couple was coming to visit, so she deliberately took her family back to the village. On the one hand, she wanted to worship her ancestors, but on the other hand, she didn't want to move this family into the new house she bought.
Luo Chen's family went straight up the mountain to worship their ancestors after leaving the town, while Hu Xie's family went from the village to the town, which was a perfect avoidance.
After worshipping their ancestors, Luo Chen brought his family back to their house in the village. After all, he had to pay New Year's greetings to his brother and sister-in-law. They didn't seem to have a falling out on the surface, so they could only gradually become estranged.
Old Bai was nervous for a moment, and his three older sons were also a little nervous because they remembered that their mother was only nice to their cousin.
They hadn't seen their uncle's family for half a year, and they had just started to live a good life. They were afraid that their mother would go back to her old ways after seeing her uncle and cousin, so they didn't want to go. But there was no way. Since they had been educated, they naturally knew the etiquette, so they had to bite the bullet and go back to the village with their mother.
When Hu Xie's family arrived in the town, they realized that they didn't know where his sister lived, and there was no one on the street. They finally found someone, but that person didn't know Luo Chen at all. The three of them wandered around for several hours. Hu Siqi and Qin couldn't stand the cold anymore, so the three of them had to go home first. At worst, they could go to the school in the town to wait for school to start.
Luo Chen knew that the three people were half frozen to death, and she almost died of laughter. She was so low-key just to distance herself from this family, so how could she let them know easily? If she hadn't revealed the news to her son, she wouldn't have wanted these two people to know about her house purchase.
