The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Chapter 176 The Stalemate between Brother and Sister

Jiang Muxia took out a willow bucket from the carriage, jumped off first, and trotted towards the grave where the woman was.

While running, he shouted, "Second Aunt, you are here."

When the woman heard the call, she slowly stood up. She looked a bit like Lu Chaoyun, but was slightly plump and had a fair face.

There was a man and a young man holding a little girl's hand beside her.

Jiang Muxia shouted at the man, "Second uncle, Brother Qingshan."

She put the willow bowl on the ground, walked over to the little girl, squatted down, and asked with a smile: "Are you Zhizhi? I saw you last year and you had just learned to walk. You've grown a lot taller in a year." She took out a handful of caramel from her purse and stuffed it into her tiny hands. Seeing that her hands were too small to hold it, she left two in her hands and stuffed the rest into the purse around her waist.

Zhizhi called her sweetly, "Thank you, auntie."

While she was teasing Zhizhi, Lu Chaoyun came over with the child. After greeting everyone one by one, Lu Chaoyun began to burn paper.

"Second sister, it's been so many years, why don't you go home?"

Lu Chaocai smiled bitterly, "I want to go back too, but you know my elder and second brothers' tempers. I don't dare... nor do I have the face... to go back."

"Although what happened back then was your fault, you now have grandchildren, and your second brother-in-law treats you well. They are just talking, even if you go back and let them beat you up a few times, they will make you feel better. From now on, we brothers and sisters will still be as close and loving as before, and we will still be a family."

I don't know how many years I have been admonishing my second sister, but has she ever listened to her? As a younger sister, she can do nothing about it.

"Xinning is back this year. Why don't I ask him to come forward and persuade them? You and my brother-in-law wait on the roadside. If for no other reason, our mother is old. Do you still want to visit her grave every year like you do now?" Lu Chaoyun's eyes turned red and his voice choked with sobs as he spoke.

"Mom, listen to my aunt's advice! With my dad's and my ideas, we should have found my eldest and second uncles long ago. What does it matter if they beat us up? We are all family members, and even if our bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. I don't believe that all my uncles are so heartless." Qiu Qingshan hugged his daughter in his arms and advised.

Qiu Guiping nodded in agreement. He had abducted his wife and angered the Lu family. The two brothers of the Lu family had come to the Qiu family's house and smashed it to pieces. The two families almost had a fight. Fortunately, his eldest uncle arrived in time and found the village headman to stop them, thus preventing a bloody battle.

Lu Chaocai was so frightened that she didn't even dare to show her face. Upon seeing this, the Lu brothers left a message saying that Lu Chaocai was no longer a member of the Lu family and that she would never be allowed to set foot in the Lu family in her lifetime, and then they left.

That year, the old man of the Lu family had just passed away, and the family was without a backbone. Seeing that they were a family with only orphans and a widow, the members of the Lu family looked down on them.

Thanks to the two brothers and the young Lu Chaoyun who had a stubborn and hot temper, if anyone dared to touch a firewood stick in their house, he would run to their door and curse for an hour. Over time, no one dared to come and bully them.

Because Lu Chaoyun had a bad reputation as a shrew, no one in their village wanted to arrange a marriage for her. Fortunately, she went to her eldest sister Lu Chaoxia's house to help take care of the children early on. Later, she met Jiang Yuzhou and got married.

In recent years, Lu Chaocai has only visited his eldest sister Lu Chaoxia's house and never dared to set foot in Lu Village again.

Lu Chaocai listened to his son's words and shook his head, "Forget it, let's go home!"

Seeing this, Jiang Muxia winked at her mother, took a step forward, hugged her aunt's arm and said with a smile: "Aunt, we have separated and now live in the county. Why don't you stay at my house for a few days? My mother misses you so much. You only see each other once a year. How about staying at my house for a few days?"

Lu Zhaoxia hesitated and said, "That's not good. It's New Year's Day and there are many things to do at home."

"Oh, what are you afraid of? You still have your brother and sister-in-law at home. You being at home is a good opportunity to train them in how to deal with people, isn't that good?"

Although Qiu Guiping and his son didn't know what she was planning, they nodded in agreement after getting Jiang Yuzhou's approval.

Lu Chaoyun put out the sparks, took his second sister's arm and walked to the side of the road.

"I'll ask the child's father to send you and your brother-in-law back to the county first. The four of us will go to see mom first. After the child's father is done, you can come back to pick us up." He called Qiu Qingshan, "Qingshan, you go home first! Let the child stay at my house with your parents for two days."

"Okay, auntie."

Everyone split into three groups and left.

When Jiang Muxia and his group arrived at Lu's house, the main room was filled with laughter and was very lively.

From a distance, Wang Xi could be heard teasing the old lady's hearty laughter. Lu Chaoyun pushed the door open and everyone looked at them.

"Aunt, you're here. I was just talking about the spectacular scene of Zhou Huaihua quarreling with the village chief in Xigang Village on New Year's Day! Fortunately, you separated from the family, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to follow you."

When Lu Chaoyun heard about Zhou Huaihua, he felt completely indifferent. He thought it was normal for her to do anything.

"Third girl, don't you know that your eldest uncle's youngest son is gone on New Year's Day?"

"What does his presence or absence have to do with us? I didn't kill him." Lu Chaoyun sat in front of the stove and said nonchalantly.

"Alas! The family is in such a mess because the old man has evil hearts. It's better to separate." Feng sighed in her heart, and pulled Jiang Muxia to say distressedly: "Good child, I have heard about your story. You have suffered twice at such a young age. It's really hard for you."

Jiang Muxia hugged Feng and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm not suffering. It's all over. Look, I'm fine!" As she spoke, she glanced around the room. Only her aunt, her grandson, and her second cousin were in the room. She didn't see Lu Xinning, so she asked, "Grandma, where's Brother Xinning?"

Speaking of her eldest grandson, Feng's eyes were full of satisfaction, but her mouth was dissatisfied, "Isn't today the second day of the Chinese New Year? He went with your eldest aunt to visit his grandmother's relatives." Feng patted her hand gently and smiled, "But he left a message, asking you to wait for him to come back no matter what, he has something to tell you."

Feng pretended to be mysterious and lowered her voice, "Should I tell you about your fiancé? I heard from Wang Xi. The young man you are engaged to is the second son of the county governor. Xinning works under his father, so he will have to rely on your care in the future!"

"Brother Xinning doesn't need it. He is very capable and can handle these things without any problem. Grandma doesn't need to worry."

Although Jiang Muxia didn't know why Lu Xinning was looking for her, it was definitely not like what her grandma said, that he was looking for her to use his connections.

She was just about to talk to Lu Xinning about her aunt's matter. Now that he had some influence in the Lu family, it would be most appropriate for him to come forward to persuade her uncles.

In her opinion, her uncles were not heartless people. The stalemate between the brother and sister for so many years was nothing more than a loss of face. One was afraid to bow his head, and the other was unwilling to take the initiative to make peace because of his face.

So the situation became deadlocked. If one wanted to break the deadlock, a strong middleman had to come forward to mediate.

Lu Xinning is just the right person.

"Oh, let's not talk about Second Aunt for now. The sacrificial ceremony of Tianji Chaoguan is about to begin. Let's go quickly, or we won't be able to find a good seat in a while!" Wang Xi took Feng's arm and walked out in a hurry.

"My daughter-in-law has a good temper, but she is a little impatient!" Although Lu Chaoxia was blaming her, she kept a smile on her face as she watched Wang Xi supporting Feng as they walked further and further away.

Jiang Muxia followed them out, but her thoughts returned to her previous life.

If she remembered correctly, this Taoist temple was revered as a deity by people from ten miles away. People would come here to seek advice for help when their family members got sick or lost something.

Anyone who came for medicine would receive it and be cured. Anyone who lost something would be able to find it by following the direction she gave when they got home.

But after experiencing two lifetimes, she still didn't believe in her magical powers.
