Chapter 368 - 369: She deserves to be beaten

Chapter 368: Chapter 369: She deserves to be beaten

Thinking thus, her face couldn’t help but reveal a touch of smugness.

Meanwhile, Liu Lanzhi went inside to open her wardrobe and change into a lighter jacket.

She had just been laboring in the field, and the heat had made her perspire. Fearing catching a cold should she be exposed to the cool breeze, she had come back to change into something lighter. She never expected to walk in on this scene.

Although she hadn’t seen anything, she presumed her third sister-in-law was back to pilfer her Snowflake Cream.

This suspicion arose from an occasion when she smelled the fragrance of Snowflake Cream on Li Chunhua’s body during a nighttime visit to the toilet.

To her knowledge, her third sister-in-law didn’t have Snowflake Cream!

Therefore, the person who stole the Snowflake Cream last time must be Li Chunhua; there could be no doubt about it!

What amazed her was that Li Chunhua had the audacity to return for a second steal!

From now on, she would always keep this cupboard locked, because there were thieves in her own house.

Still, without evidence, it wasn’t appropriate for her to talk to other family members about this. Luckily, the wardrobes in the other rooms were also locked.

That morning, everyone in the Chen family worked exceptionally hard. They figured that emptying their stomachs by working hard would give them an excuse to finish work early and get home to change into clean clothes.

Chen Jianjun, whose legs were pretty good now, also joined in the fieldwork; his long idleness at home had made him feel uneasy.

But Ma Xiulian, worried about his still recovered leg, only allowed him to do light work.

As noon approached, the whole family began to return home one by one. They changed into their finest clothes and gathered near the village entry.

Ma Xiulian carefully took out the cloth wrapped ginseng from the cupboard and put it in the basket. She then covered it with a blue cloth and, after slinging the basket over her arm, exited the room.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Sanni who was waiting at the gate with a worried expression. "What’s wrong?" she asked.

A tad hastily, Sanni replied, "Granny, this morning when I was taking Guibao to work, my mother came out with us. She desperately wanted to hug Guibao who refused. Annoyed by her pestering, Guibao accidentally hit her."

Sanni was afraid her mother might complain first, and grandmother would blame Guibao.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian immediately guessed that Li Chunhua insisted on hugging Guibao, just to steal the red envelope. "She deserved to be hit!" Ma Xiulian’s face darkened instantly.

That Li Chunhua, if she isn’t taught a lesson, would behave foolishly sooner or later.

Relieved, Sanni knew that as long as Granny was protecting him, even her father would not dare scold Guibao.

"Let’s go, we’ll head to the village entrance." Ma Xiulian hoisted the basket and closed the door behind her. She started walking out with Sanni.

Li Chunhua, who was already waiting at the village entrance, had complained of her grievances to the Chen family members several times.

As time went by, her eye, where she had been hit, was swollen and turning a ghastly red and purple, which looked quite scary.

"Look at me! Look at my eye, she attacked me like she wanted to kill me!"

"Third sister, Guibao mustn’t have hit you intentionally, it must have been an accident." Zhao Mei comforted her from a corner.

Looking at the swollen and purple eye, she felt her niece was at fault this time. No matter what happened, one shouldn’t hit the very woman that gave birth to her!

Chen Jianye looked very upset. He never imagined his young daughter would dare to hit her mother.

Was he bringing disaster upon his younger brother by letting such a child be fostered by him!

With an apologetic look he said to Chen Jianjun, "Younger brother, I’m sorry. I failed to educate Guibao properly. If you..."

Before he could finish, Chen Jianjun interrupted him coldly, "Guibao is a good child, she wouldn’t hit anyone without cause."
