Li Caixia was having a heart attack beside them, what was her daughter doing? Not keeping the good stuff.
"What are you saying, child? Go and try it, it's a token of affection from your third aunt." Lin Juan was a bit annoyed, what was wrong with Xu Mumu? If it was the usual, wouldn't she be eager to put on the dress immediately and show off to everyone?
"No need, the item is too valuable, give it to someone else, I don't like this dress either." Xu Mumu said calmly.
"Mumu?" Madam Chen looked at Xu Mumu with some doubt, feeling her granddaughter was acting a bit strange today.
"Grandma, it's not easy for third uncle and third aunt to earn money, this dress is too expensive, instead of buying the dress, it's better to buy some meat to eat." Xu Mumu put on a sincere look.
"True, it doesn't look cheap." Madam Chen felt quite touched, her granddaughter had grown up, and it was indeed tough for Xu Laosan to make money, who was still working as a temporary worker, earning just over ten yuan a month.
With Madam Chen helping to persuade, Lin Juan's dress ultimately wasn't given away.
Li Caixia pulled Xu Mumu into the room and slapped her on the shoulder, though she didn't use much force.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking? That's a dress, new and is Dacron." Li Caixia was almost distraught; did her daughter have a hole in her head?
"Mom, it's just a dress, and I'm not lacking clothes at the moment. Mom, third uncle and third aunt are back, it can't be that simple, I always feel something big will happen, let's not take third aunt's things first." Xu Mumu said seriously, feeling quite helpless having a mom who was eager to gain advantages.
"What are you thinking, what big matter could there be?" Li Caixia was speechless, losing a dress over those messy guesses.
"Mom, just wait and see, I feel this time it's not a small matter, didn't you say I'm blessed, if we took the dress, maybe that's where the trouble would start." Xu Mumu said helplessly.
"You're really going to drive me crazy." Li Caixia compromised because she firmly believed in her daughter's luck, if her daughter had a bad premonition, it definitely wouldn't be off.
"Mom, I might make a lot of money, and then you can buy whatever you want, and you and dad can enjoy life." Xu Mumu said with a smile, despite her parents' many flaws, they had never faked their affection for her.
"Of course, I believe in your abilities, my daughter is the luckiest." Li Caixia was coaxed into happiness by Xu Mumu, feeling proud, and always feeling smug about taking money to a fortune teller to predict her daughter's destiny.
Due to Xu Mumu's destiny, she was definitely the most popular girl in the area, never worried about marrying.
"Mom, let's go out, it's almost time for dinner, third uncle and they bought some meat." Xu Mumu said with a smile, her mom was quite easy to coax.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure to get you a few extra pieces." Li Caixia squinted her eyes, she was always skilled at grabbing food, otherwise, how could she raise her kids to be healthy?
"Okay, I'll get some for mom too." Xu Mumu leaned on Li Caixia's shoulder, feeling great.
The mother and daughter walked out, and the ones cooking were the two sisters-in-law from the second and fourth branches, their cooking skills were relatively better, more presentable, whereas Li Caixia's cooking was just passable, really not as good as these two aunts.
Xu Mumu and Li Caixia walked towards the main house, but before reaching it, they heard crying from the courtyard.
"Give it back, that's my toy car." Xu Dongbao's crying was loud and very miserable.
"I just want to play for a while, don't be so stingy." Xu Minglei's voice came.
"I won't give it, return it to me, or I'll tell my dad to hit you." Xu Dongbao cried while threatening Xu Minglei.
"Oh, I'm so scared, I have a dad too, your dad has to listen to my dad." Xu Minglei said proudly, playing with the toy car, which was a gift from Xu Dongbao's grandfather and he liked it very much.
Sure enough, after Xu Minglei's words, Xu Dongbao's cries grew even louder.
Xu Mumu twitched her mouth, her little brother needed to be disciplined, this bad habit shouldn't be allowed.
"Dongbao, my Dongbao, who bullied you?" Lin Juan rushed out from the room, seeing her son sitting on the yard crying sorrowfully, while Xu Minglei held his toy.
Lin Juan had only Xu Dongbao, her health wasn't great, and since Xu Dongbao was born, she'd had no other children, so she doted on her only son deeply, and the same was true for the old couple of the Lin Family, they spoiled the little guy.
This led to Xu Dongbao having a domineering personality and a tendency to show off, he brought his new toy home to show off to his cousins.
Unfortunately, he met an even more domineering brat, Xu Minglei, who liked his toy car and directly snatched it.
"Mom, it's second brother, he's bad, he snatched my toy car." Seeing his mom, Xu Dongbao instantly reported.
"Minglei, return the toy to your brother, how can you snatch your brother's things?" Lin Juan looked angrily at Xu Minglei, who was running the toy car on the ground, unaffected by the cries.
"I just took it to play for a while, I'm the older brother, what's wrong with him lending it to me?" Xu Dongbao was domineering, Xu Minglei was even more domineering, he was the little tyrant at home, a personality heavily influenced by Li Caixia.
"Sister-in-law, is this how you teach your child, snatching things from others at such a young age, how will it be later?" Lin Juan was angrier, now pointing the blame at Li Caixia.
Lin Juan always looked down on the people from the main branch, they were quite extreme, like parasites in the house, quickly rushing for any benefits, and if there weren't any, they'd always be a hindrance.
"Minglei, give the car back to Dongbao." Xu Mumu approached and calmly looked at Xu Minglei, not minding others' domineering ways, but intending to teach her younger brother properly, not wanting Xu Minglei to become a thug.
"Sister, I like this toy car too." Xu Minglei said, feeling a bit wronged, thinking his big sister wasn't siding with him, pouting, almost enough to hang an oil can, just missing the words "I'm unhappy" on his face.
