70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 329: Quarrel Downstairs

Xu Minghui washed that pile of clothes in the evening. The fabrics of these clothes were quite good, and he washed them carefully. If he ruined them, he would have to pay for them.

"Tsk, this kid actually knows how to wash clothes now." Li Caixia said in surprise as she saw her son washing clothes while holding a book.

"Mom, my brother is earning money." Xu Mumu said with a smile. She thought it was quite good, at least her brother wasn’t just someone who reached out to the family, he knew how to be self-reliant.

"How much has he earned?" Li Caixia felt that she was now looking down a bit on the money her son was earning, thinking washing clothes couldn’t earn much.

Xu Hai watched the commotion from the side. He already knew that every time his wife forced him to read and study, it was Xu Minghui’s lousy idea.

When it came to his son, Xu Hai harbored deep resentment. He currently found looking at books gave him a headache.

Xu Minghui washed the clothes very meticulously, almost more seriously than washing his own clothes. Xu Mumu watched and found it very amusing; her brother’s love for making money was absolutely genuine.

While the couple Lee Caixia was studying, especially her own mother, Xu Mumu felt her mother had endless enthusiasm for learning, which made her a bit dumbfounded. But after knowing the back story from Xu Minglei, she nearly burst out laughing and secretly sympathized with her dad for two seconds.

Having her daughter at home felt wonderful for Li Caixia. Whenever she didn’t understand something, her daughter was particularly patient and would explain things twice until she understood. She learned things very quickly.

The next day, Xu Mumu was awakened by the sound of an argument downstairs. She climbed out of bed, frowned, and felt a bit annoyed.

"Grandma, what’s all the arguing about down there?" Xu Mumu rubbed her face to wake up a bit.

"I know, I know. It’s that Xiang Xiulian from downstairs. She took things to her family, got caught by her husband, and he beat her up. A few days ago, she went to stay with her family, and today she brought all her brothers over, making a fuss outside." Li Caixia said excitedly, naturally aware of such gossip as they were familiar with the neighborhood.

"That Xiulian is really something. She takes all the family’s things to her own family, and her son is so thin, like skin wrapped around bones." Madam Chen frowned too, having no good impression of Xiang Xiulian.

Xu Mumu went to wash her face, and Madam Chen brought out the steamed buns from the pot.

"I don’t think I’ve seen her son." Xu Mumu thought a while and said. She wasn’t home often, and the family downstairs always kept their doors closed, so she hadn’t noticed them.

"Of course you haven’t seen him. Xiang Xiulian locks her son at home every day and runs back to her family to help with work." Li Caixia pursed her lips dismissively.

"Does she have some kind of brain problem? Her family really knows how to brainwash. Abusing her son to satisfy her own family? If she cares so much about them, she shouldn’t even get married. Now married and harming others?" Xu Mumu was speechless, thinking what kind of people are these.

"They’re fighting downstairs. Should we go down to stop them?" Xu Minghui walked out, glanced down from the balcony.

"Why stop them, what if they hit you?" Madam Chen quickly stopped him, thinking why should their family interfere with their mess.

"Exactly, exactly. That Xiang Xiulian fights fiercely, don’t go. I’ll talk to Director Wu later." Li Caixia said calmly; she didn’t want her son to get into trouble.

Xu Mumu grabbed a steamed bun and went to the balcony to watch. Many people were watching the spectacle, women and men downstairs were fighting in a bunch, with punches and kicks, pulling hair and scratching faces, the two sides were evenly matched.

Xiang Xiulian’s husband’s family surname Bai, and there were quite a few Bai Family members. Though they were divided, Xiang Xiulian was taking Bai Family’s stuff to support Xiang Family, making Bai Family surprisingly united.

Li Caixia also took two buns over, watching the fight below and beginning to critique: "Mumu, let me tell you, if anyone bullies you in the future, just go for their waist. That’s the softest part, pinching there hurts the most. Xiang Xiulian is so dumb, just pinching her sister-in-law’s hand, they obviously came prepared, wearing multiple clothes, she can’t pinch hard enough to hurt."

Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched. Is this how her mother teaches kids? This was eye-opening; thankfully, she wasn’t clueless. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Anyway, no one dared bully her to her face, seeing her strength, she could easily kick someone far away.

"Understood, Mom." Xu Mumu paused for two seconds, choosing not to explain more to Li Caixia, better let her think she was obedient and well-behaved.

"Also, Bai Zhengyi is the type of man you shouldn’t marry. Look at that fool, can’t handle anything himself, always needs his parents and brothers to solve things, so timid to be bullied by women, first time I’ve seen a mother who can’t protect her own child." After critiquing the women’s fighting, Li Caixia critiqued Xiang Xiulian’s husband.

"Mom, I know, I don’t have such poor taste, don’t worry, Yin Yang isn’t like Bai Zhengyi." Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched; she already had a boyfriend and likely would marry, and Yin Yang wasn’t anything like Bai Zhengyi according to Li Caixia.

"I know, I’m just worried you’ll look down on Yin Yang later. I’m quite satisfied with him. Daughter, when will you get married? Our family doesn’t have many requirements, you don’t have to wait for your brother to marry before you do." Li Caixia took a bite of her bun and looked at Xu Mumu with anticipation; having such a good son-in-law should be secured early.

"Mom, I’ll wait. Let’s talk after my brother gets married, you should head to work." Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched, feeling hurried to marry already reached her. Frustrated, she glanced at her brother’s direction, seeing Xu Minghui pretending not to hear anything, silently focused on his bun.

"Right, right, hurry or you’ll be late." Li Caixia glanced at the clock on the cabinet, quickly stuffing the bun into her mouth, tidying up and getting ready to leave, Xu Hai followed suit.

"Wow, finally gone." Xu Minghui leisurely gnawed on the bun. Though it was coarse grain, it steamed quite soft, tasted good paired with pickles.

"What kind of talk is that? Your parents care about your future marriage." Old Xu glared at his eldest grandson. Not only Xu Hai and wife were concerned, but he and his wife were also quite concerned, hoping to see the eldest grandson find someone, wishing to hold a great-grandchild before they closed their eyes, quite an extravagant wish.
