Chapter 139: Thirty Years in the East, Thirty Years in the West

Outside the door, Yao heard the eldest son and daughter arguing in the room. She hesitated whether to go in and mediate, but was pulled directly into the kitchen by Old Lady Hua.

"Big brother's wife, since you and Big brother are reluctant to discipline Jiu Niang, then let Da Lang do it. In the past two years, Jiu Niang has been away from home more and more. If you want to let her go on like this, then continue to indulge Jiu Niang."

Aunt Hua also said, "Yes, sister-in-law, Jiu Niang is becoming more and more estranged from the family. She doesn't even report back to the family when she does something outside. How can they be like a family?"

Because of Hua Dalang's investigation, Hua Changxi opened eleven pharmacies in the capital, and all the Hua family members knew about the Fire Spirit Mine in Sancha Medicine Valley.

The Hua family reacted strongly to this.

After hearing what Old Madam Hua and Second Aunt Hua said, Yao felt helpless and powerless.

She didn't expect that her daughter didn't trust her family and was even a little wary of them. She used to think that Jiu Niang was just a little stubborn, but in the past two years, she increasingly found that she didn't seem to understand her daughter.

Opening a medicine shop would have been fine, but she quietly found an outsider to partner with her to occupy the Fire Spirit Mine in the Sancha Medicine Valley. This was completely beyond her imagination.

You know, Sancha Medicine Valley is the territory of the imperial court. The Fire Spirit Mine is so close to it, how dare Jiu Niang take it for herself? Her daughter's fearlessness towards the imperial court made her a little frightened.

Yao also knew that her daughter needed to be disciplined, otherwise she was really afraid that one day she would do something earth-shattering and irreparable.

Aunt Hua Si was grateful to Hua Jiuniang from the bottom of her heart. She knew that her family was concerned about the inheritance that Jiuniang had earned, so she didn't know what to say. She just said, "Sister-in-law, Dalang is a sensible person. It would be good for the two siblings to have a good talk."

As a married woman, Hua Sangu couldn't get involved in her mother's family's affairs, so she remained silent.

However, she really admired her niece Jiu Niang, who had quietly earned such a fortune for herself, which was more powerful than most men.

In the main hall of the Hua family, Hua Mingzhe was talking and laughing with Grandpa Hua and the three brothers Hua Minghe. Sometimes when the topic came to an end, he would take the initiative to bring up a new topic to ensure that the atmosphere in the room was harmonious and cheerful.

Hua Hongchen and Hua Hongtao sat silently on the side. They felt uncomfortable watching their father flattering Grandpa Hua and others without any expression.

Because my great-grandfather was the patriarch of the Hua family, his family had always been the one that the clan members vied to curry favor with, but in the past one or two years, everything had changed.

Because of the appearance of the cultivators, and the fact that only their younger sister Hua Wanyue had spiritual roots, no one else in their family had any, their family's status in the clan plummeted.

In the past, if Grandpa Bin’s family wanted to meet Grandpa and Father, they had to inform them in advance, and it depended on whether Grandpa and Father had the time and mood to meet them.

But now, because all the members of Grandpa Bin’s family are cultivators, their family’s status in the clan has instantly been greatly improved.

The whole family are cultivators. After this matter was exposed, not only them, but also other members of the Hua family were shocked beyond belief.

But the fact is, Grandpa Bin’s family are all cultivators. Although more than half of them are physical cultivators, physical cultivation is also a kind of cultivation.

After all, there are only a few cultivators with spiritual veins. Body cultivation provides a path of cultivation for those without spiritual veins. Becoming a body cultivator is also the dream of many people.

Because Grandpa Bin presented the body-building exercises to the clan, he was directly appointed by the clan leader as the twelfth elder of the Hua clan.

Hua Shilang and others who were training in the Bo Mansion also rose in status. Now the prince of the Bo Mansion would take them with him whenever he went out to visit friends and guests, and it was obvious that he regarded them as his confidants and was training them.

Now, it is their family that has to beg Grandpa Bin’s family.

The great-grandfather still had some face in front of his uncle. He learned from his uncle that the body-building exercises that Grandpa Bin presented to the clan were not the best, and they had better ones.

The reason why my father flattered Grandpa Bin's family so much was that he wanted to get better body-building techniques for them so that they could stand out in the clan.

Looking at Old Man Hua, whose face was flushed with flattery from his father and who had long forgotten the unpleasantness he had with Hua Jiuniang, Hua Hongchen and Hua Hongtao looked at each other with self-blame and guilt in their eyes.

My father has risked his reputation for them, but I wonder if he can achieve his goal?
In Hua Changxi's room, facing Hua Dalang who accused her of not caring about her family, at first, she really began to reflect on herself, thinking that she had gone too far, but soon she came to her senses.

"Brother, everyone is responsible for their own life. Don't push the responsibility of your life onto me."

"Eat as much as you can."

"The prosperity of the Hua family depends on everyone in the family, not just me. I ask myself, have I contributed enough to the family?"

"I dare say that everyone in the family has benefited from me. Don't just pick on me and take advantage of me. If you have the ability, go and urge the other brothers and sisters in the family to work hard and make progress."

"As for the dangers you encountered in the turbulent situation, there is nothing I can do. Everything I have now was not obtained out of thin air. I am also risking my life."

Hua Dalang looked at Hua Changxi in disbelief: "Father and mother dote on you so much, yet they allow you to be so selfish. You only care about yourself. You are simply..." Before Hua Dalang could finish his angry words, the door was forcibly opened by Hua Sanlang and Hua Liulang with a creak.

"It's time to eat."

"Brother, my uncle and the others are still in the main room. Grandfather asked you to go over and entertain the guests." Hua Sanlang forcibly pulled Hua Dalang out of the house and gave Hua Liulang a look.

After the two of them left, Hua Liulang walked over to Hua Changxi and sat down: "Big brother is like this, always likes to preach, I am also very annoyed by him."

As he spoke, he looked at Hua Changxi. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hua Liulang continued, "Big brother's mouth is a bit annoying, but he is still a good person. He is wholeheartedly doing good for our family."

Hua Changxi looked over and said, "Brother is only concerned about the good of the family, so he is doing it for the good of the family. I didn't stop him, but he shouldn't ask me to be the same as him."

Hua Liulang heard this and asked weakly, "Jiu Niang, don't you want our family to be well?"

Hua Changxi: "Have I not done good for this family? Don't you see what I have done for my family? Do I have to sacrifice everything for this family to be considered good for it?"

There was a pause.

"My eldest brother is devoted to the family because he will inherit the family in the future. But what about me? I am not part of the family, but I am asked to devote all my energy to the family. Why?"

Hua Liulang was bald, scratching his head, not knowing how to respond: "You can't have a falling out with your family, right?"

Hua Changxi: "I don't want to make things awkward. I don't ask what my family members want to do, and they don't ask what I do. I just want us to live in peace. It's my grandfather and eldest brother who don't want to. They force me to act according to their wishes."

As he spoke, his face showed fatigue.

"Sixth brother, every time I go home I feel so tired. It's obviously my family who are greedy, but they act as if I have done something wrong. If this continues, I really don't want to come back."

Hua Liulang was anxious: "No, if you don't come back, Dad and Mom will be sad."

Hua Changxi showed a bitter look on his face: "The storage bag I gave to my father, he gave it to my eldest brother. I gave him the storage bag to give him more protection because I was worried about his safety. This is my love and concern for him, but he gave my love away."

Hua Liulang said dryly, "Big brother is in the Demon Suppression Army, and it is dangerous to do this job, so father gave the storage bag to big brother."

Hua Changxi knew that his family would persuade him in this way, and he didn't want to talk anymore.

Hua Liulang was overwhelmed. He didn't know how to persuade her. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, the relationship between his sister and his family would become even more strained, so he could only abruptly change the subject.

"By the way, my grandfather is now the twelfth elder of the Hua clan. The clan now values ​​our family very much."

Hua Changxi's attention was diverted, and he asked in surprise, "How did my grandfather become the elder of the clan?"

Hua Liulang's expression froze and he wanted to slap himself. Why did he bring up such a topic?

Hua Changxi looked at his reaction and pondered for a moment: "Grandfather gave the body refining technique to the clan?"

Hua Liulang was shocked: "You know?"

Hua Changxi looked very calm: "Given our family's situation, what can we use to get a position as a clan elder? Is it hard to guess?"

Hua Liulang looked at Hua Changxi's face and said, "Nine Lady, you are not angry, are you?"

Hua Changxi didn't say anything. She didn't mind the spread of Qihuang's body refining technique. According to her understanding, the things in Qihuang Hall were meant to be spread to everyone.

What she cared about was that her family used the resources she brought back but still kept asking for more, which really made her feel a little annoyed.

Just then, Aunt Hua's voice was heard in the yard.

"Wu Niang, San Ye, why are you here?"

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am here with Wu Niang and the children to celebrate with everyone."

Hua Changxi and Hua Liulang looked towards the yard and saw Hua Wuniang holding the child, standing beside Mr. He Sanye. Behind her were several maids, each holding generous gifts in their hands.

"Is this Mr. He's first time visiting our house? He's a rare guest."
