Chapter 102: Little White Flower Cares Not

  I don't know how she managed to run out, shouldn't Niu Laogen have kept her at home?! She ran out so quickly, it's really like she can get through anything, looks like she absolutely won't give up.

  Shen Sisi took Er Bao and San Bao to find the two of them, preparing to take a look at the situation. If it didn't feel right, she would immediately go call Niu Laogen over.

  Niu Xiaohua was originally at home doing needlework, and she was also reluctant to see Tian Guilhua. However, Tian Guilhua's crying outside the courtyard door really didn't look good, her heart felt sour, and in the end, she couldn't help but come out. It was just that in her heart, there was an indescribable feeling, whether it was hatred, resentment, or a little bit of hope...

  So, when she was taken to the village head by Tian Guihua, she said on her own initiative: "...Mother, I'm now bought back home by the Zhong family, in the future...you'd better not come looking for me, the people of the Zhong family won't be happy, and I'm just a maid who was bought back by them..."

  "What a silly girl!!" Tian Guihua glared and said, "Your father was foolish enough to sell you off, and you actually agreed to it. Marrying into their family isn't even proper, you stupid girl! Now that you've entered their household, you don't even have a title or position. What will you do in the future?! If they want you to be a concubine, will you become one?! Their family is now making so much money and has risen to wealth, what place will you have?! Truly a foolish..."

  Niu Xiaohua hung her head and closed her mouth, feeling very wronged in her heart. In the days that followed, she didn't think about or plan for anything, but only knew that she was really living better than at home now. The Zhong family treated her well too, nothing like Tian Guilhua said with all those rules, it was just her own wicked mind that made her think ill of others.

  "Sister, don't say that about them, they're really not like what you said......" Niu Xiaohua hung her head, feeling a slight sourness in her heart, thinking of those past events, and the grievances in her heart, but she still couldn't help speaking up for the Zhong family.

  Tian Guihua glared at her, but didn't say a word. Her eyes kept staring straight at her new clothes and the hairpin on her head. When she saw her coming out of the Zhong family's courtyard like this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. Now, she frowned even more, without hiding it, and looked at her: "The twenty taels of silver your father gave you to sell yourself, you spent them so recklessly? As soon as you entered the Zhong family, you foolishly bought clothes and hairpins for yourself? Can't you save money?! It's okay if you buy for yourself, but why are all the people in the Zhong family wearing new clothes too? And is the hairpin on He Ashu's head also bought by you?! You're quite open-minded, aren't you? Before you even get married, you're already leaning towards outsiders! Why didn't you use this money to buy something for your own mother?"

  Tian Guihua's tone was full of deep hatred, with a hint of regret that iron had not been made into steel, but after careful listening and deliberation, it could be heard that she was talking about money in every sentence, and what she valued most was still money.

  Niu Xiaohua felt a slight pang in her heart and explained: "...... This is the clothes and hairpin that the Zhong family bought for me, not something I bought myself......"

  Tian Guihua reached out and pulled out her hairpin, narrowed her eyes and hummed a sound, staring at the hairpin carefully, with a greedy look in her eyes, but she didn't dare to take it now. She had just provoked Niu Laogen and didn't dare to touch this unlucky thing again. Today, she sneaked out, thinking of using gentle tactics later, but when she saw what her daughter was wearing, she couldn't help but reveal her true nature, though still somewhat restrained by caution and rationality.

  Niu Xiaohua hastily said, looking at Tian Guilhua: "Mother, I can't give this to you, it was given to me by the Zhong family, I..."

  "Who cares?!" Tian Guihua sneered, but didn't return the hairpin to her. Instead, she patted her new clothes again and gritted her teeth: "Can they be so kind?! They're only treating you well because of your twenty taels of silver. If it weren't for the silver, who would treat you so well?!"

  Niu Xiaohua felt wronged and took a step back, she even had the feeling of not wanting to see her mother again. Why always say that, it was obviously her own fault for being greedy for money.

  As expected, Tian Guihua spoke up and said: "Good daughter, hand over the silver to your mother, and I'll keep it for you. This way, you won't have to worry about the Zhong family getting their hands on it. When you get married in the future, I'll give it back to you. How does that sound? You're all alone in their household, suffering from bullying, and without the silver, wouldn't it be even more unbearable? In the future, your mother will take charge, and see who dares to bully you..."

  Tian Guihua's tone softened, and she even forced out a smile: "Don't be bought off by just one dress and one hairpin. You should know that the ones who can make decisions for you are still your father and I, your mother. If in the future you're bullied by them, it'll still be us and your three brothers who'll stand up for you. Foolish girl, listen to your mother's words. From now on, I'll definitely treat you well. In the past, I was wrong, but I've realized my mistake. You are my own flesh and blood, born after ten months in my womb. No matter how bad you are, can I really be cruel to you?"

  Niú Xiǎo Huā's eyes were welling up with tears, she really wanted to cry. She felt a sour feeling in her heart after hearing it, although she knew that everything said was not true, but she still felt very uncomfortable and sad.

  So I couldn't help but burst into tears, sobbing quietly without daring to make too much noise.

  Tian Guihua saw that she was crying but not responding, her heart was burning with anger, but she still managed to hold it in. She knew she couldn't rush things, so she could only suppress her emotions and forced a dry smile: "....What are you crying about?! Little Flower, my dear daughter..."

  She hugged Niu Xiaohua tightly and cried hypocritically: "...... Look at the good thing your father has done, look at how much money the Zhong family's braised meat is making. If you make a fortune in the future, as a slave girl who sold herself, where will you have a place to stand? Good daughter, don't be foolish, listen to your mother's words and get their secret recipe for me. In the future, when your three brothers make a fortune and your maternal family becomes powerful, you will also have a backing, and no one in the Zhong family will dare to give you a hard time..."

  Niu Xiaohua also forgot to cry after listening, only staring at her with a shocked face, unable to speak, and her eyes became even redder.

  Tian Guifang's heart skipped a beat as she forced out a smile and coaxed her, "Good girl, listen to Mom..."

  But her words were interrupted by Shen Sisi.

  Shen Sisi had been searching for Tian Guihua, thinking that this woman would definitely be beaten by Niuxiao Hua to vent her anger. However, she never expected that when she found them, she heard these twisted words instead. Suddenly, she couldn't help but feel furious, and in a rage, she rushed out, snatched the silver hairpin from Tian Guihua's hand, pointed the sharpest part at Tian Guihua's neck, and coldly sneered, "Auntie, you're really good at plotting..."

  Tian Guihua was caught off guard, and with just one grab, her neck almost got poked. Suddenly, she felt a chill run down her spine, and she didn't dare move, her tongue stuck in her mouth. Her hands, forehead, and back were all covered in cold sweat as she stuttered: "Y-you... what do you want to do?!"

  She remembered the girl's ferocity when she was hitting people with a broom, and now looking at her wolf-like eyes again, she was so shocked that her whole body started trembling. How did this dead girl come out?! Didn't you go into the city?!

  She specifically chose this time slot to come, didn't expect them to return so early?!

  "Auntie, what am I doing?!" Shen Sisi sneered: "I think Auntie has forgotten the lesson from last time, do you want me to let Auntie recall it again, or should I let Uncle Niu come and make Auntie recall it again? I see that Auntie has healed from the wound but forgotten the pain, and now she's coming after her own daughter again?! Hmm?! But I'm warning you, in the past, I didn't care about Xiao Hua's affairs, but now, she is a person bought by my family, so from now on, Auntie doesn't have the qualifications to see her, let alone ask her to do things..."

  "...She is my own daughter, she..."

  The hairpin pricked her skin and it hurt, she was so startled that she stopped talking again.

  "Tian Guihua, don't think you can just pretend to drink and not actually drink, or I'll make you pay for it. If you dare do that again, I won't let you off easy... Shen Sisi glared at her in anger: "You still dare to covet our family's braised meat recipe? You're not even worthy! Get out, if I see you coming to my house again, I'll definitely make sure you regret it, just watch..."

  Tian Guihua was so angry that she couldn't move, her face turned pale and white by turns, but she was still afraid. She didn't know why she was afraid of a little wild girl, but when she saw her eyes, her whole body trembled with an indescribable feeling.

  At that moment, all her dissatisfaction was swallowed into her stomach. Although she hated her so much that she gritted her teeth, Tian Guihua had to swallow her anger and put it in her heart.

  "And besides, the things our family gave to Xiaohua, if anything is missing, I'll make you pay for it..." Shen Sisi put away her hairpin, moved her neck away, but involuntarily pushed her and angrily said: "Get out."

  Tian Guihua was caught off guard and fell to the ground with a thud. For a moment, she gritted her teeth in anger, thinking of getting up to slap the girl a few times. But then she saw that the girl was holding a shiny, pointed hairpin and playing with it in her hand. Suddenly, Tian Guihua felt a bit intimidated. After some consideration, she feared being poked by the hairpin and causing more trouble, which would be difficult to resolve if Cow Old Root found out. So, she could only get up reluctantly, looking back three times with a sense of grievance, but ultimately walking away with a humiliated expression.

  Niu Xiaohua was now crying sorrowfully and said: "...... Tuni, I'm sorry, my mother..."

  "Let's go, go home and say...” Shen Sisi pulled her over and returned the hairpin to her hand. Hating that she was unfortunate, but even more hating that she didn't fight back, with such a weak temperament, if she were to marry the honest Da Bao in the future, wouldn't they be taken advantage of by others?

  Can a gentle and delicate girl like a small white flower really be transformed into a tomboy or superwoman?!

  Forget it, thinking of Niu Xiaohua's attitude, Shen Sisi is also used to her little white flower appearance and can't accept it.

  Niu Xiaohua followed Shen Sisi home in tears, and He Ashu grabbed them and asked, "Are you both okay?!"
