After the female supporting role is quickly put on, she is full of charm

Chapter 403 The Vain Little Aunt 3

"I don't know how this government office does things. Think about it carefully."

"what?"

Zhou Xing'er didn't expect that the old woman would be so cruel and the matter had to be reported to the police.

Zhou Yan was about to reach the age of marriage, and if she got involved in a scandal at this time, it would be difficult for her to find a husband in the future.

Xiang Pozi's eyes fell on Zhou Yan.

"Kang'er is young, and he must have been led astray by someone. But Zhou Yan is not young anymore, she is seventeen. Don't let her get into trouble and not even be able to find a husband. It would be a pity for her to become an old maid."

Zhou Xing'er pushed Xiang Youlu with an anxious look on her face, but Xiang Youlu felt he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything.

Old man Xiang smoked his pipe to show his neutrality. Xiang Youfu was hurt by his brother's dirty words just now, and he would definitely not speak up for him now.

Seeing that the man was useless, Zhou Xing'er gritted her teeth and said unwillingly, "Okay, if you want to pay, I'll pay you later!"

The problem was temporarily resolved, but when Ahzhi just returned to the room, he heard a fierce quarrel in the second room.

Azhi closed the window and looked at the bracelet on her wrist. Chalcedony was not a rare thing, but it looked very beautiful.

Just like the crystal clear lychee flesh, it gives a cool feeling when worn on the wrist.

Thinking that Xiang Qingcao had obtained the spiritual spring by shedding blood, Ah Zhi found her original hairpin, cut her finger hard and smeared the blood on the bracelet.

The next second, the bracelet emitted a faint light. Ahzhi picked up the bowl on the table, and soon, spiritual spring water with a fresh fragrance appeared in it.

She couldn't wait to drink the whole bowl, and when she looked in the mirror at first, she saw no changes.

Even if it drinks the spiritual spring water from the green grass, it will only become more and more beautiful slowly.

Ah Zhi was not in a hurry when looking at herself in the mirror. After all, she didn't look bad in her original form.

Xiang Yun has been raised carefully by Xiang Po since she was born. The ambitious Xiang Yun has inherited the best qualities of her parents.

The woman in the mirror had a slim figure, willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips, affectionate and watery almond eyes. Her face was not an exaggerated oval face, but rather an oval face with a sense of grandeur.

This makes her look even more gentle. Even without rouge and powder to dress herself up, Xiang Yun still remembers to use flower juice as rouge.

On weekdays, she would pluck out her messy eyebrows and carefully draw her eyebrows with burnt charcoal ash.

What's wrong with having no money?

This could not resist Xiang Yun's love of beauty at all.

She has good technique and can't draw ugly things. If she were in modern times, she might become a beauty blogger.

In order to dress better, Xiang Yun learned embroidery and sold it for cloth. The daisies on her headband were embroidered by her herself.

She is indeed lazy and likes to eat, but she is not lazy at all when it comes to beauty.

Ah Zhi found a box and opened it. Inside was one tael of silver and two silver hairpins, with a beautiful pink silk flower next to them, and a few copper coins here and there.

These were the only money and jewelry Xiang Yun had, all of which were obtained by Xiang Pozi for her daughter.

It was almost time for dinner when Xiang Qingcao came back with his head bandaged by the doctor.

The doctor also prescribed three prescriptions for her, one for each day. The wound was just flesh wounds and not the head. It would heal after resting for ten days or half a month. However, the fifty cents were all used up.

When she heard that the fifty coins were all gone, the old woman's face fell in dissatisfaction. She couldn't help muttering, "What a money-loser. I spent fifty coins after going out and coming back. I really can't afford to support her."

Azhi stood aside without saying a word, watching Wang Lan lower her head and wipe away her tears.

Xiang Youfu still loved his daughter, so he immediately went into the house to check on Xiang Qingcao.

At this time, Xiang Youlu came to Xiang Pozi with fifty coins. As soon as he handed the money over, Xiang Pozi took it away.

He counted copper coins to the old woman in a sarcastic tone.

"I didn't let you marry this widow in the first place. You are simply possessed by a ghost. No matter what I say, it's useless. Now you are leading my grandson astray. Xiang Youlu, just wait. Sooner or later, you will be tricked to death by her."

Xiang Pozi was right. In the plot, Zhou Xing'er found a good marriage for Zhou Yan, but she became someone's concubine.

Zhou Yan was indeed good-looking, which was why a wealthy family in the town took her as a concubine.

However, Zhou Xing'er did not get to enjoy the good life with them. Instead, Zhou Yan asked Zhou Yan for all kinds of money to manage the house.

When Zhou Xing'er remarried, she brought five taels of silver with her. As the first wife was making a fuss about dividing the family property, she got another five taels of silver. A total of ten taels of silver were given to Zhou Yan as a living allowance for her marriage.

In less than three months, the ten taels of silver were gone. Zhou Xing'er had no choice but to take action against her youngest daughter.

She actually wanted to marry Xiang Qing to an old widower for money. Fortunately, Xiang Qingtai asked Xiang Qingcao for help in advance, so she was able to marry the person she loved. At the same time, she used ten taels of silver to completely sever ties with her parents.

But ten taels of silver were not enough. Zhou Yan wanted to buy a secret recipe for having a child, hoping to give birth to a boy as soon as possible and gain a firm foothold.

Zhou Xing'er asked Xiang Youlu to carry more bags. One rainy day, Xiang Youlu was not paying attention and fell down, and was hit to death by the bags.

The host paid twenty taels of silver as compensation, but Zhou Yan also lost this twenty taels of silver.

The so-called secret recipe for having a child was fake. After Zhou Yan drank the secret recipe, she had a miscarriage and fell out of favor. The whole family of the second wife was very unlucky.

Xiang Youlu frowned as he listened to Xiang Pozi's scolding.

"Mom, please just hope for me. Xing'er is willing to live with me and give birth to a pair of children for me. This is a big deal for me."

Seeing that her second son was still stubborn, Xiang felt like she was talking to a cow and whatever she said was nonsense, so she just rolled her eyes and stopped talking.

The three people in the big house had sad faces. Xiang Ping'an looked at Xiang Qingcao angrily and said, "Sister is injured, why is grandma still fussing about it? Sister doesn't want to get hurt either."

Wang Lan sat next to him and looked at Xiang Youfu with some uneasiness.

"Mother, you won't think we stole the chicken and stewed it, right? Youfu, what should we do?"

Wang Lan had no idea what had just happened at home.

Thinking of the gloomy face that Xiang Po had just put on, her mind was filled with the thought that she was going to be bullied by Xiang Po.

Xiang Youfu patted the back of Wang Lan's hand and said soothingly, "It's okay. When you took Qingcao to see the doctor, mother had already found the second wife and explained everything clearly."

"This was done by Zhou Yan and Xiang Pingkang. The two kids were greedy and ignorant and stole the chicken. Mother asked the second wife to pay for the medical treatment and medicine. The matter has been resolved. Don't worry."

If Xiang Pozi had to pay all the fifty cents, the other party would definitely be very angry and might even cause trouble for Xiang Qingcao.

Now that she heard the truth had been revealed and that Zhou Xing'er had already paid for Xiang Qingcao's medical treatment, Wang Lan felt relieved.

"That's good, but Qingcao is wronged."

Thinking of her daughter being injured, Wang Lan couldn't help but tear up.

Xiang Youfu sighed at her, "It's okay. Didn't you say it? It's just a superficial wound. It will heal after a few days of rest. Don't let Qingcao do any work during this period. Let me take care of the housework."

"No, I'll do it for my sister."

Xiang Ping'an acted like a little adult.

Don't be fooled by Xiang Ping'an's young age. He is actually much smarter than Xiang Pingkang.

Xiang Qingcao returned home and slept for a whole day and night.

Wang Lan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her wake up.

She was scared the whole day, worried that Xiang Qingcao would not wake up. She wanted to wake Xiang Qingcao up, but she was worried about disturbing her daughter's rest. Wang Lan had no choice but to stay by her side.

"How is it? Does your head still hurt?"

Facing Wang Lan's concerned inquiries, Xiang Qingcao still had a bit of confusion in his eyes.

Recalling the dreams she had, she couldn't help but say to Wang Lan, "Mom, I had a very long dream."

"Dream? What dream?"

Wang Lan was very patient, and said to Qingcao with some excitement in her eyes, "In my dream, I saw iron horses without legs, but they could still run. Cars, those people said they were cars, and there were buildings taller than the sky, and night-shining pearls everywhere..."

"Your dream is really magical. There are night-shining pearls everywhere? Is this where the gods live?"

Wang Lan smiled and didn't take Xiang Qingcao's dream to heart. She just blew the corn porridge in her hand to cool it down, and fed it to Xiang Qingcao mouthful by mouthful.

"Eat something to recover, you...eh?"

When Wang Lan saw the eggs being peeled out from the bottom, she said in disbelief, "Where did these eggs come from?"

On weekdays, let alone eating eggs, it’s already good enough to be able to eat enough.

I put a little more corn in the bowl today. You should know that even if I can eat enough on weekdays, it’s just the corn that sinks to the bottom and a little rice soup.

It was only because Xiang Qingcao was sick that Xiang Po allowed Wang Lan to get more dry food.

Xiang Qingcao saw the eggs and asked hurriedly, "Mom, did you serve the porridge?"

"How can your grandma trust me? Of course, this is served by your aunt."

Apart from Mrs. Xiang and Old Man Xiang, the only person who could touch the food in the house was Xiang Yun.

Xiang Qingcao just felt that the porridge was more fragrant than usual, but he didn't expect that there was something good hidden underneath.

She asked unconfidently, "Could this be given to me by my aunt?"

"Could it be a mistake? What if your grandma finds out?"

The mother and daughter began to have trouble with the eggs in the bowl.

Finally, Xiang Qingcao gritted his teeth and said, "Eat, what can't you eat? You and Dad do so much work, can't you eat eggs?"

"Mom, I finally understood a truth after I woke up from my injury. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. I must lead you to live a good life."

Looking at Xiang Qingcao's pale little face, Wang Lan nodded and mashed the eggs to feed her to Xiang Qingcao, but Xiang Qingcao let her take the first bite.

The two men, who hadn't eaten eggs for a long time, tried it and licked the bottom of the bowl clean.
