Chapter 1723: Chapter 1314: Amazed by Jiang Li (Part 2)

Li Daniu curled her lip: "I think you’re just bullying the weak and fearing the strong, thinking we’re all country bumpkins, letting you put on airs! If you’re so tough, how come you never stand up to Li Bao? Instead, Li Bao just says a couple of words and you don’t even know how to answer back. Chunxia girl, you’re scared of Li Bao, aren’t you? Well, Li Bao is a big shot after all, so next to her, you’re like a mouse facing a cat. That’s why Li Bao can shut you up with a few words."

"Say whatever you want!"

Xu Chunxia snorted coldly, ignoring the crowd watching the drama, then headed into the yard and straight for the main room.

"Don’t be mad, that girl only acts tough in front of us. In front of Li Bao, she’s just a little mouse!"

Li Daniu comforted Wang Chunhua, who shook her head when she heard this: "I don’t need to bother getting upset over some little girl."

"You just won’t admit it!"

Li Daniu laughed and shook her head, then said, "Want to come sit at my place?"

"Wait a sec."

Wang Chunhua felt there was more drama yet to come at the Xu family.

"You’re waiting for that bunch to start fighting again?"

Li Daniu asked.

Wang Chunhua gave her a look that said, "Don’t ask what you already know."

But whether it was Wang Chunhua or any of the other people watching, they all waited for nothing.

Because after ten minutes or so, there was still no shouting coming from the Xu family’s main room.

A lot of folks, seeing there was no more excitement to watch, started to leave, heading back to their homes.

Li Daniu and Wang Chunhua were no exception. Walking toward Li Daniu’s house, Wang Chunhua said, "Why do you think Li Bao doesn’t like that Xu family girl?"

Li Daniu’s eyes looked a bit complicated as she heard this: "Li Bao doesn’t like Chunxia. Are you sure you don’t know the reason?"

"Am I supposed to know?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Wang Chunhua was puzzled.

"Looks like you really forgot."

Li Daniu shook her head and said, "After that Zhou family boy and Li Bao broke off their engagement, think carefully—what did Chunxia do?"

"..."

Wang Chunhua thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hand: "I remember!"

Li Daniu was startled, glaring at Wang Chunhua: "Can you stop jumping out of your skin like that?"

Wang Chunhua smiled awkwardly when she heard this, saying, "That’s my bad, didn’t mean to scare you."

After a pause, she went on, "After the Zhou family boy and Li Bao broke off their engagement, Chunxia didn’t care about her relationship with Li Bao and went sneaking into the woods with that Zhou family boy. Seems like the Xu family girl had her eye on him for a long time, but kept pretending to be friends with Li Bao. Tsk... Why do I get the feeling that Xu family girl is really sly?!"

"Now you know why Li Bao doesn’t like that Chunxia girl, right? Li Bao treated her like a friend. Because of Li Bao, the Team Leader always gave that girl easy jobs, but she still got high work points. And Chunxia didn’t appreciate any of it—instead, she was busy stealing Li Bao’s man. If it were you, could you stand her?"

After Li Daniu finished, Wang Chunhua spoke: "Why drag me into Li Bao and Xu family girl’s mess?"

"I just want you to imagine yourself in Li Bao’s shoes, so you’ll remember why Li Bao treats Chunxia the way she does."

Not hearing Wang Chunhua reply, Li Daniu spoke up again: "Li Bao said that Chunxia girl has no brain, and I think that’s right. Did something to hurt Li Bao, but still shamelessly tries to get close to her. No wonder Li Bao can’t stand her."

...

No one really knew what Father Xu and Mrs. Xu said to their son and daughters-in-law. All Xu Chunxia knew when she walked into the main room was that her stuff had been put back in the suitcase.

To make sure nothing was missing, she checked everything, and found that her red wool coat and a pale yellow dress were gone.

Knowing exactly who took them, Xu Chunxia went straight to Mrs. Xu and pointed out what was missing.

Immediately Mrs. Xu started cussing out Wang Xinger and Du Juan, then stormed into Xu Chunlai’s room and Xu Chunwang’s house one after another, pulling out the stuff Wang Xinger and Du Juan had hidden, cursing them both for being so greedy.

Wang Xinger was pissed, so was Du Juan. The two sisters-in-law just lay on the kang pretending to be dead, refusing to go out to the fields to weed the corn.

Facing her two daughters-in-law slacking off, Mrs. Xu was stomping mad but didn’t want outsiders to see their family drama, so she forced herself to calm down and called her two sons to follow her and Father Xu out to the fields.

As for Xu Chunxia, Mrs. Xu wanted to take her along too, but Xu Chunxia completely ignored her mother, dragged her two big suitcases back to the room they’d fixed up for her, and, copying Wang Xinger and Du Juan, lay down on the kang and did nothing as well.

Once things quieted down, with nothing better to do, she couldn’t help but let her mind wander.
