Chapter 432 Who is in charge?
Wang Shufen said, "Okay, go back now. Don't wander around. If you go out, bring a few servants with you. You are ladies now. You can't be as carefree and unrestrained as before."
Little Sixth held the candy in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth one by one, chewing it with a crunching sound. His cheeks were puffed up like a little squirrel, and he did not forget to stuff some into Little Seventh's mouth.
Little Laoliu held the candy in his hand and waved to Wang Shufen, "Aunt Shufen, you are so kind. Let's go."
"Aunt Shufen, goodbye!" Little Laoqi also shouted.
Little Six and Little Seven held hands, with sweet candies in their mouths, and happily headed home.
"Seventh Brother, have we forgotten something important?" Little Sixth Brother stopped, tilted his head, frowned slightly, and tried hard to recall.
"Sixth sister, what's the matter?" Little Seventh Sister blinked her big eyes and looked at Little Sixth Sister blankly, with some unchewed candy in her mouth, and her words were a little unclear.
"It seems to be related to the wall?" Xiao Laoliu tapped his chin lightly with his finger, his eyes rolling around.
"Is it a wall?" Little Laoqi also started to think about it, shaking his little head.
The two little kids racked their brains, but couldn't remember: were they out to look at the wall? To get bricks? Or to see the old village chief?

The fourth child, Lamei, and the fifth child, Yingchun, had already arrived at Zhao Cunliang's house. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a burst of crying and shouting.
"Cuihua, you are the one who calls the shots in our family now! Dafu and Dagui are your uncles. Guangzong's hand is broken, so you have to rely on Dafu and Dagui for all the heavy work in the family! They are the labor force of the family!"
Tian Guilan, with disheveled hair and tear-stained face, stood aside and cried to Cuihua who was sitting in the yard.
At this moment, through her tearful eyes, she saw Xiuying's daughters, the fourth Lamei and the fifth Yingchun, walk in. She instantly became excited and staggered forward to pull the two girls.
However, before she could get close, the maid brought by the fourth brother quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to block her.
The maid's face was serious, and she said in a stern tone, "Sister-in-law Zhao, what are you doing? You are rushing towards our young lady. If you accidentally hurt her, can you bear the consequences?"
Tian Guilan stared at the two little girls behind the maid with wide eyes in disbelief, her heart swelled with anger. These two money-losing girls were only fit to pour water for her feet at home.
She gritted her teeth and said to the maid fiercely, "I am their aunt, and you, a servant, dare to stop me?"
The maid withdrew her hand from holding Tian Guilan back and said calmly, "I see that the Zhao family also has a brick house, so they have some wealth. But I heard that the Zhao family and our wife separated a long time ago and even signed a letter of severance.
Later, seeing that our wife had become prosperous, they came to us relentlessly. Our wife is kindhearted and didn't bother with these things. Now it seems that the Zhao family's brick houses are just a facade. If it weren't for our wife's relatives who often helped us, we would have starved to death long ago and would not be in such a good situation today.
Hearing this, Tian Guilan's hair stood on end in anger, and she shouted at the top of her voice: "What! Ever since my Zhao family separated from Xiuying, we haven't received any favors from her! Without her marriage, I live a more carefree life. I, Tian Guilan, have never been weak-willed and have never needed to rely on anyone for charity!"
Zhao Cunliang chimed in, "That's right. Back then, our Zhao family was one of the wealthiest families in this area. We had fields and land, and everything we needed. How could we rely on others? Our Zhao family has always stood tall and straight!"
Cuihua slowly stood up from the chair, her movements neither hurried nor slow. When Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan saw Cuihua stand up, they quickly shut their mouths as if their throats were suddenly strangled.
They might dare to provoke Xiuying and the others, but they really didn't dare to offend Cuihua, this crazy woman.
Cuihua had a smile on her face. She whispered softly, "Lamei, Yingchun, you two sisters came to see me. Is there something wrong?"
Lamei bowed slightly and said, "Sister Cuihua, we would like to ask for some of the white frost on your bricks."
When Tian Guilan heard this, she was stunned at first, then she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said in a shrill voice: "What a naive person, he even wants moldy bricks, he must be crazy because of poverty!"
Zhao Cunliang's face was full of sarcasm: "She doesn't think that thing is edible, does she? Hahaha, this is absolutely ridiculous!"
"Shut up!" Cuihua glared at them with a sharp knife, which instantly made the two people who were laughing at her shut up.
Cuihua snorted coldly and said word by word: "Don't forget who is in charge now." Although her voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan were frightened by this momentum, shivering, lowering their heads, and speaking in voices as soft as mosquitoes: "Of course you are the boss."
Cuihua turned her head slightly and said to Tian Guilan, "Why don't you go and collect the white frost on the wall and bring it over to the Fourth Miss."
"Oh." Tian Guilan responded very reluctantly, secretly rolled her eyes at Lamei, her eyes full of resentment, and walked away reluctantly.
Cuihua looked at Zhao Cunliang again, her eyebrows raised, and her tone full of impatience: "What are you standing here for? You have guests at home, don't you know how to pour tea? Where has your usual tact gone?"
Zhao Cunliang had never been scolded like this before. Back then, he was the head of the family and had the final say at home. But now, if this woman in front of him goes crazy, she will do anything without regard for the consequences.
Thinking of this, he could only swallow his anger. He gritted his teeth and secretly clenched his fists. A real man can bend and stretch. It's just pouring a cup of tea, not pouring urine. He endured it!
Then he pretended to be calm, shook his sleeves, and walked towards the main room step by step.
"Come and sit down, Lamei and Yingchun. I haven't seen you for a long time." Cuihua said as she affectionately took the sisters' hands and led them to the stone bench in the yard.
Lamei smiled and said softly, "Sister Cuihua, after I finish taking care of my eldest sister's coming-of-age ceremony, I'll come and chat with you often. We always have endless things to talk about."
Yingchun also quickly agreed, "I'll come too, Sister Cuihua. Your martial arts are truly amazing. You've completely subdued the Zhao family. Every time I see you take action, I think you look so handsome, just like the heroes in the storybooks!"
"Okay, after Taohua's coming-of-age ceremony is over and she has some free time, I'll teach you two self-defense techniques." Cuihua replied with a bright smile, "Girls who learn some self-defense techniques will feel more at ease wherever they go, and they'll be able to protect themselves if they encounter bad guys."
