Old Master Xia slammed the table and said, "Okay, everyone, shut up!"
"Goudan, tell me, have you asked the little mouse from the Su family about the toothbrush and tooth powder business?"
“I… I…” Goudan looked at his mother carefully, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.
But his performance said it all.
Everyone in the Xia family knew what was going on, and the way they looked at Liu Yuehong changed.
It turned out that she really had cheated the recipe from the little rat in the Su family, and then took it back to give it to her brother-in-law from her mother's family.
Old Mrs. Xia pointed at her angrily and almost couldn't breathe.
It was only after the second daughter-in-law ran over, helped her wipe her chest and poured her tea that she finally recovered.
Old Master Xia was also very angry. For the first time, he stared at his eldest daughter-in-law coldly: "Liu, I don't want to pursue what happened back then, but I hope you can explain this matter clearly."
"I..." Liu Yuehong's eyes changed and she looked at her husband pleadingly.
Xia Qiang gritted his teeth and turned his head away.
Seeing that her husband didn't care about her life or death, Liu Yuehong felt uncomfortable.
The old lady stared at her angrily and said, "First wife, don't think that Qiangzi will back you up, and don't act like you're dying. I won't fall for it."
“I… I…” Liu Yuehong’s eyes suddenly rolled back, and she fell backwards, with her face curled up.
Xia Xiaodie hurriedly hugged her: "Mom! Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Dad, Mom has fainted, she has fainted! Come and help me hold her up!"
Xia Qiang finally softened his heart and walked over to hug his wife.
"Help him down." Old Master Xia looked at him coldly for a while and waved his hand in disgust.
Xia Qiang picked up his wife and carried her sideways, then silently walked out of the main house and returned to the east room.
Xia Xiaodie and her brother quickly followed.
The old lady looked at their backs and snorted coldly: "Hmph, when something happens, she either feels uncomfortable here or there, or tries to commit suicide or pretends to faint. She thinks our house is a stage."
The old lady has never looked down upon her eldest daughter-in-law. If her eldest son had not been so determined to marry her into the family, she would never have wanted such a daughter-in-law.
She is delicate and weak, just like a young lady from a wealthy family. It would be a good thing for a daughter to have the same character.
"Alas, what a misfortune for our family!"
Old Master Xia rubbed his swollen and aching forehead and sighed heavily.
"Alas, I have lost all my face today. How can I convince others with my virtue in the future? How can I..."
The old lady snorted coldly: "I didn't agree to marry such a daughter-in-law in the first place. She speaks in a soft voice and her eyes are always like hooks when she talks. It's obvious that she is a traitor at heart."
"That little body is so frail, it doesn't look like she can work in the fields. Instead, she looks like a young lady who has never done housework."
Old Master Xia glanced at her and said, "Okay, the child is already this big, so you should stop talking."
"Old man, let me tell you, this is actually not a big deal."
The old lady's mind turned to what had just happened.
"If the Su family can sell it, why can't others? Besides, didn't our Goudan just ask a question? He didn't steal his family's recipe."
Mr. Xia glared at her irritably: "What do you know?"
"We know we didn't take it, but can others believe it?"
"And the news of the broken engagement has also spread. Plus, Erya tricked Su's Dani into going into the mountains. Now I don't know how the outside world is spreading rumors about our family."
