Indeed, after hearing Jiang Xia’s words, Zhao Wan and Liu You both looked displeased. Zhao Wan was annoyed at Liu You, while Liu You looked pale, as if her attack had been deflected, not only missing the mark but also making herself uncomfortable.

Jiang Qing was stunned. She hadn’t expected that in the two years they hadn’t seen each other, her originally reserved and reticent younger sister had developed a sharp-tongued and vengeful character. However, she quickly felt relieved. With such a personality, her sister wouldn’t be bullied when she’s out, which was great!

Jiang Xia hadn’t had enough and continued, “It’s my fault for not noticing how valuable your clothes are, sister. I forgot to compliment you, which probably angered you. 1’11 pay more attention next time!”

“It’s not what she meant…” Liu You tried to explain, seeing Zhao Wan’s face growing colder, but she was interrupted by Zhao Wan.

“When did the Liu family become so impoverished that even a piece of cloth is worth showing off?”

Zhao Wan’s words were cold and pointed, leaving Liu You speechless.

For some reason, even though Zhao Wan appeared to have the best temperament in the Zhang family, Liu You always felt uneasy around her. She couldn’t even speak properly.

Although Zhang family’s father had a renowned bad temper in the mountains, Liu You wasn’t afraid of him. She was always smiling, so why would he ever be angry with her? Plus, Liu You’s father often drank with him. Given that relationship, every time Liu You visited, Zhang family’s father was always kind to her.

While Zhao Wan might seem gentle, the way she looked at Liu You made Liu You feel as if she was being stripped bare. It was as if her ignorance was being exposed.

Liu You had mentioned to her father multiple times that she didn’t want to marry into the Zhang family. If she had to see Zhao Wan every day, she felt she might go mad.

But every time she talked to her father, he would just placate her with a few simple words. Seeing that cajoling her did no good, he would lose his temper and scold her for not appreciating what’s good for her. He even laid down a family rule: if she didn’t marry into the Zhang family, she shouldn’t think of returning to the Liu family ever again. When she got married, the Liu family wouldn’t give her any dowry, making her as unfortunate as Jiang Qing.

Her father always kept his word. Liu You didn’t dare to argue and had no choice but to constantly visit the Zhang family, trying to make her presence felt.

What Liu You despised the most was Jiang Qing!

Originally, there weren’t many hunters in the village, and only a few families had daughters. Among all the girls in the village, Liu You was considered the most beautiful. However, her beauty was defined by her delicate features, not enough to be stunning, but it was enough for the villagers to praise.

But since Jiang Qing married into the village, the neighbors stopped praising Liu You. Everyone said that Jiang Qing was beautiful, and some pregnant women even visited the Zhang family daily to see Jiang Qing.

They believed that looking at beautiful people while pregnant would result in a beautiful child.

Liu You’s jealousy of Jiang Qing reached its peak. The thought of becoming in-laws with her made Liu You’s teeth itch with anger!

What Liu You couldn’t understand the most was why her father insisted on her marrying into the Zhang family. In terms of wealth, their family was the richest among the village hunters. Geographically, the Liu house was located midway up the mountain, convenient for hunting and descending. The Zhang family lived at the highest point, where it was freezing cold, especially during the windy winters.

Liu You hated visiting the Zhang family in cold weather. If it wasn’t for her father’s insistence, she’d much rather stay in bed and sleep in.

At this moment, as no one spoke, the atmosphere was awkward. An elderly woman who came with Liu You tried to mediate.

She appeared to be a matchmaker, and coming with Liu You indicated that she was on Liu You’s side.

She smiled, her face wrinkled like a crumpled piece of paper, and said, “Family shouldn’t dwell on misunderstandings. What’s said is said. It was just idle talk. The young girl misunderstood, leading to this comical situation.”

The last sentence was obviously directed at Jiang Xia, and she even flashed Jiang Xia an annoying smile.

Jiang Xia despised when adults blamed things on children, suggesting any conflict was solely the child’s fault. What kind of logic was that?

Any other person might have kept quiet and let the matter slide, but not Jiang Xia.

She pointed to the mud on her, looking aggrieved, “But when you all entered the house just now, you almost knocked me over, splashing me with mud.. Was that also a misunderstanding on my part?”
