Chapter 41: The Suspicious Chu Lixi

  Chu Liwan is a darling at the Xu's place, seeing her precious being beaten up, Madam Xu panicked and hurriedly went to Chu Liwan's side, carefully comforting her.

  "What are you all staring at? Don't hurry up and bring over the water and towels?! If there's even a slight mishap on Xiaowen's face, I'll fight to the death with all of you useless things!" Madam Xu suddenly roared at everyone in the room, but when she turned her head back to look at Chu Liwen, her expression immediately returned to one of concern and tenderness.

  The speed of this change is truly breathtaking.

  But anyway, she just got her hands slapped for trying to return the shoes, and they still hurt.

  According to the proportion of bones and flesh, those with less flesh get hit, that's bone pain, while those with more flesh get hit, it's really flesh pain.

  Compared with muscle pain, bone pain is naturally more severe.

  Chu Liwen's figure and appearance are almost the same as Xu's, not tall, but with a plump body, not fat, just a bit full.

  Osmanthus absolutely believed that the slap Chu Liwen received was not on the same level as her own mother's, and even compared to her own thin hands, it probably wouldn't have been very painful.

  But looking at the scene in front of her, Guihua couldn't help but sigh, this is the gap, a very obvious gap!

  After a silent sigh, Guihua held Mo's hand and continued to walk outside, only to find that the entrance was already blocked by someone, and there was no way to pass through.

  "I say, Third Sister! Look at what your family's Osmanthus has done! Is that woman's face something to be taken lightly? Especially our Xiaowen is already at the age of finding a husband, if her face gets ruined, it'll delay finding a suitable match, who will take responsibility for this loss?" Chu Lishi leaned against the door frame and looked at Mo Shi, then at Gui Hua, finally setting his gaze on Mei Hua.

  For some reason, when Chu Lishi's gaze swept over herself and then turned to the plum blossom, Osmanthus always felt a sense of unease in her heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

  "Second Brother, what do you mean by this?" Mo's face didn't look good, apparently also sensing that Chu Lishi's true intention wasn't quite right.

  Chu Lishi shrugged, pretending to be nonchalant, and said in a low voice: "Now that Xiaoyan has become a nun, we should also call her daughter-in-law. You say that your family's Guihua first prevented Yanyi from becoming a scholar, and now she has ruined Xiaoyan's appearance. Shouldn't your family take more responsibility for their marriage?"

  After hearing Chu Lishi's words, Mo Shi's body trembled slightly, but quickly recovered as usual. Her voice also became much colder, "Second brother, I don't understand what you're saying. Our family hasn't split up yet, whether it's the money for speaking or Xiaowen's dowry, these are all mother's concerns. We each contribute our earnings to mother, if you have any issues, you can go talk to her about it. There's no need to mention these things to me here. I don't have the money or energy, and if you're asking for help, sorry, I won't be able to assist."

  Mo said, not waiting for Chu Lishi to speak again, and continued: "Second brother, trouble you to let me through, my back hurts badly, I have to hurry back and take a look. If there's really something wrong, I'll have to find a doctor again later. At that time, Mother will have to spend money again. What if the money for marrying Yan is used up? That would be bad."
