At this moment, First Uncle Xia Youfang, came forward and patted Xia Youyi, while First Aunt Liu Fengxia hurriedly said, "Zikuan, Ziyan, what are you still standing there for? Aren't you going to help your mother back to her room?"
The two brothers instantly recovered from their shock and dragged the crying Wu Xiumei upstairs. In the end, Wu Xiumei refused to do anything. She struggled to break free and scolded, "Alright, not a single person in your Xia family is going to make a decision for me, right? Your conscience has been eaten by a dog. I was really blind back then. Xia Youyi, you've caused me so much suffering. Your entire family will die a horrible death. Ah, let me go, let me go..."
The Xia brothers saw her mother cursing and quickly tried to persuade her. "Mom, stop cursing. Stop cursing."
However, Wu Xiumei did not listen and acted like she had gone mad. Her eldest son steeled his heart and hit Wu Xiumei on the back of her neck. Then, he carried her on his shoulder and carried her up the stairs with Xia Ziyan behind him. There were also Xia Qingzhu and her sister.
Xia Zikuan had no choice. His mother was so torturous. After so many years, she had long lost the patience of the Xia family. Now that she was like this, he was really worried that his father would divorce his mother back. How hateful. His mother did not even know what was going on.
The more Xia Zikuan thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He still had two younger sisters and a younger brother who was not married yet. His mother had nothing better to do, so he was also very helpless.
Meanwhile, First Aunt Liu Fengxia, comforted her as she helped the old lady back to her room. Kang Xiaoqiao wanted to help, but First Aunt Liu Fengxia rejected her politely. On the other hand, Third Aunt Zhang Ting, came over to help and was not rejected.
At this moment, only first uncle's family, third uncle's family, Kang Xiaoqiao, Xia Yunshu, and the livid Lu Yichen were left in the living room.
They didn't even dare to take a deep breath. In the end, it was First Cousin Xia Zihou who spoke up, "Yunshu, bring your aunt back to her room. The rest of you, do what you need to do."
Kang Xiaoqiao took the flower basket from Lu Yichen and followed Xia Yunshu upstairs. She sat on the bed for a long time before she came back to their senses and muttered, "What a big scene. Tsk tsk, I was wondering why second aunt and her mother were so pampered at home."
When Xia Yunshu heard that, she swallowed her saliva and said, "It scared me to death. Second grandfather is so fierce when he loses his temper. Also, second grandmother is also very powerful."
Kang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and said, "This is all bad karma. It could be a big scene. Second uncle has a sweetheart, and second aunt tried to get him to repay her by forcing him to marry down. Tsk tsk--"
"However, second aunt is really powerful. She gave birth to six children in a row. This success rate is really not bad. If others knew about this, the family would probably line up in a long line to ask for the secret recipe."
After saying that, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed. After a while, Xia Yunshu said, "Little aunt, I only found out today why grandmother and the others let second aunt and her family go so easily and didn't let us speak up."
"So second aunt has a favor to do at home. It's a pity that second uncle has a sweetheart. After so many years, he still hasn't forgotten. No wonder second aunt is in so much pain."
Kang Xiaoqiao blinked and said, "There are eight hardships in life. The most painful thing is not getting what you want."
"But then again, this pain is all self-inflicted. From the looks of it, second uncle explained the situation to her when the other party made this request. It was she who shamelessly insisted on getting married. In the end, she couldn't get second uncle's heart. Who is to blame?"
"This suffering is also the result of self-inflicted suffering. So, Yunshu, when you grow up in the future, when you find a partner, you have to keep your eyes open. This kind of husband who lives in someone else's heart, you can't have him even if you beat him to death. Rather than creating resentment in the future, you might as well send them on a journey, understand?"
When Xia Yunshu heard this, her face turned slightly red as she said, "Little aunt, what are you talking about? How old am I? What kind of partner am I looking for?"
"But, what does little aunt mean by giving them a ride? Could it be?" After saying that, she covered her mouth in horror, revealing a pair of big eyes...
Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and hit her when she heard this and said, "What are you thinking about? You're so young, huh?"
"This is giving them a ride. That's right, women should treat themselves better. If you fall in love with a person who has someone else in his heart, and he doesn't love you and isn't willing to marry you, then be magnanimous and give them a ride to fulfill their good deeds. Let others go, and also let yourself go."
When Xia Yunshu heard this, she frowned and said, "Little aunt, then isn't this person in great pain? Watching his beloved go far away to be with someone else?"
Upon hearing this, Kang Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "Yes, it's very painful. Not everyone can do it. Being open-minded is a very good quality. A moment of pain is better than a lifetime of pain. Just like second aunt, she probably feels strange looking at herself now. She's jealous. If she can't get what she wants, she can destroy a person and make them ugly."
"Yunshu, you have to remember that you are the best. You deserve the best man in the world. Why force a man who doesn't love you? Wait for the man who loves you as much as his life is running on the road. If you leave, what will he do if he can't find you?"
Xia Yunshu nodded in confusion. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and nodded on her forehead. "Okay, you will understand when you grow up."
"Quick, look at what we made that day. Is it all over? Oh my, my heart is bleeding--"
Xia Yunshu looked at Kang Xiaoqiao's heartache and felt that it was very funny. Therefore, she smiled and said, "Little aunt, don't worry. I remember what you said that day. You have been unconscious for the past few days. I have already done everything according to the steps you said. I just don't know if it will work. I'll show it to you."
Hearing that, Kang Xiaoqiao said in surprise, "You remembered it all? Wow -- our Yunshu is really amazing. When you have time, little aunt will make you delicious food."
Hearing that, Xia Yunshu's eyes lit up immediately. Then, she bit her lower lip and said, "Little aunt, there's no rush. When you have recovered, you can make it for Yunshu."
Seeing this, Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "You sensible little girl. First aunt really knows how to teach people. How adorable."
After Kang Xiaoqiao checked the ointment that Xia Yunshu brought over, she was very gratified. This girl was really not bad. She did not dote on her in vain.
"Good, good. My Yunshu is really amazing. Let's go. Little aunt will teach you how to make essential oils. Come."
Because of the tools, Kang Xiaoqiao did not need to bring the flowers under the sun. Instead, she put them in a container to be distilled. The two of them returned to their room and did not go out. They were all immersed in the fun of making essential oils.
The downstairs was not as cheerful. Xia Youfang, his uncle, patted Xia Youyi on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, it's been hard on you all these years."
Xia Youyi sat on the sofa with his head lowered in silence. After hearing his brother's words, he said with a face full of guilt, "No, I've let everyone down."
