Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Small Spatial Objects
“You’re always the best at cozying up to the elders, right? For this matter, go to grandparents; I believe they will give you a fair answer,” Xia Chuyi said with a tilt of her head, continuing to speak.
“And me, grandparents have always liked me the least, so, I really can’t help you with this.”
“Xia Chuyi, you…” Xia Lan bit her lip, a flash of resentment appearing in her eyes which she quickly concealed, turning instead to Mother Xia, “Second Aunt, you see, Chuyi misunderstands me…”
Mother Xia, dabbing her tears, meekly replied, “Er Lan, Chuyi is right… For this matter, it’s up to your grandparents.”
Surprisingly, she didn’t try to speak up for Xia Lan.
But then again, for Mother Xia, the Xia Family is what mattered most.
Xia Lan fell silent for two seconds before she stopped pretending to cry and let out a cold laugh, “Hmph, I’ve always known, no one can be relied upon except oneself.”
After saying that, she flung her hands and walked away directly.
Seeing Xia Lan’s behavior, Xia Chuyi wasn’t particularly moved, but it seemed to startle Mother Xia a bit, “Chuyi, that child Er Lan, she…”
Before she could finish, Mother Xia sighed with reddened eyes, “Er Lan has it tough too, that’s why she acts this way… Do you think we’re being too harsh on her?”
Hearing this, Xia Chuyi chuckled lightly, “Yes, she does have it tough.”
She could throw a fit and walk out, and still evoke Mother Xia’s sympathy, really tough indeed.
Xia Chuyi really didn’t want to deal with the muddled Mother Xia anymore.
Mother Xia would betray her own daughter for the sake of the Xia Family, let alone a niece.
She went straight back to the attic.
After climbing the stairs, she first went to check on the space as usual.
Those chickens and ducks not only hadn’t left but also brought a few more, pairing off in the vegetable garden, happily munching on the vegetables, leaving a mess everywhere.
In the spring water, two well-fed wild ducks were leisurely floating about, with a few duck feathers floating on the water’s surface.
Grabbing a stick, she tried to chase these animals out of the yard, but Chicken Master and Mr. Duck completely ignored her; [seeing the stick, they whooshed away in a blink.
Xia Chuyi didn’t catch even a single feather.
In the end, the masterly animals even chirped and quacked as if they were mocking her.
Xia Chuyi found that rather amusing.
Are these even chickens and ducks? More like chicken and duck spirits!
She threw the stick away and gave up on trying to drive away these self-important creatures.
After considering for a moment, she went to the kitchen, planning to make a few more servings of Medicinal Food.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw the small white-furred dog lying listlessly, its tail barely thumping the ground.
So this one hadn’t left either?
Really, it’s easy to invite spirits but hard to send them away, Xia Chuyi ignored little White Fur at first and directly started preparing the Medicinal Food.
Soon enough, the aroma of the Medicinal Food filled the air, and the previously lethargic White Fur’s eyes lit up, it darted over in a flash.
Xia Chuyi was nearly knocked over by the impact.
Huh, White Fur is so strong?
Before she had time to think further.
“Owww!” White Fur was already yowling at her insistently, wagging its tail fiercely, its tongue hanging out long, drooling.
“Ghghghgh, quack quack quack” Outside, Chicken Master and Mr. Duck also started their duet.
