Chapter 142, Blood Relatives

Hua family yard, upper landlord's house.

Yao sat in front of the dressing table, wiping her tears silently. Hua Minghe sat beside her with a sad face. Not far away were Hua Dalang, Hua Sanlang, and Hua Liulang, who were silent.

Hua Minghe handed the handkerchief to Yao: "Okay, stop crying."

Yao threw the handkerchief away and said, "Now that Jiu Niang is gone, I can't cry anymore?"

Seeing this, Hua Dalang couldn't help but say, "Mother, today's incident was obviously Jiu Niang's fault. She embarrassed Grandfather in public and made him lose face in front of Mingzhe Bohe and He Sanye. No matter where this matter goes, it's her fault."

Yao: "Yes, Jiu Niang is a bit stubborn, but she didn't start it. I just can't understand why there is always such a scene every time Jiu Niang comes back."

Hua Dalang: "If Jiu Niang was like the other sisters, kind and obedient enough, this wouldn't have happened."

Yao glared at him and said, "You hope that Ninth Lady will be like Fifth Lady and let her family do whatever they want, right?"

Hua Dalang was helpless: "Mother, let's not talk about other people when we are talking about Jiu Niang. Jiu Niang is too ignorant of restraint. Do you really think it's good for her to continue like this?"

"Grandfather didn't make any excessive demands on her today, but look at her reaction. She didn't give Grandfather any face in front of the guests. Do you think this is really a good thing?"

Yao snorted coldly: "Your grandfather didn't even save face for Jiu Niang."

Seeing his mother's unreasonable talk, Hua Dalang was a little confused: "Mother, Jiu Niang is the younger generation and grandfather is the elder. Even if his words are a little inappropriate, as a younger generation, you should be more understanding and tolerant."

Yao thought of something, and a sneer appeared on her lips: "Fifth Mother had a difficult delivery, and Ninth Mother went to Wuyi Marquis's Mansion and made a scene. After that, your grandfather didn't control the family so tightly, and he didn't interfere too much with everyone's choices."

"However, ever since he started practicing body training, especially after he became the elder of the clan, he has started to act like the head of the family who has the final say, and he wants everyone to follow his arrangements."

"The funny thing is, he can practice and become a clan elder because of the body-refining technique that Jiu Niang gave to the family. Without Jiu Niang, he would still be just a marginal figure in the clan."

"enough!"

Seeing that his wife was getting more and more outrageous, Hua Minghe had to interrupt her: "Yutong, the children are here, how can you say such things?"

Yao looked at Hua Minghe with an angry expression: "You really don't want a daughter anymore? Don't you know what kind of personality Jiu Niang has? Is she the kind of person who is willing to be arranged and controlled by others? If Dad continues like this, Jiu Niang will only reject this family more and more."

Hua Minghe was a little annoyed.

On one side is the father who gave birth to him, and on the other side is the daughter whom he has loved since childhood. One person is concerned about the development of the family, and the family should work together; the other person is concerned about personal development.

Both of them were right and neither of them would give in to the other. He was stuck in the middle. If he leaned towards either side, it would hurt the other. At this moment, he wished he had two bodies, one body to support one person.

Hua Dalang: "Mother, I think you are taking the problem too seriously. Jiu Niang is just too hot-tempered and too spoiled. I don't believe she would really not go home."

Hearing this, before Yao could react, Hua Liulang spoke decisively: "Jiu Niang will."

Hua Dalang choked and glared at his younger brother who was holding him back.

Hua Liulang saw this and said seriously: "Brother, you have been studying abroad for many years, so you may not know Jiu Niang's personality very well. She always keeps her word."

"Moreover, you can't regard Jiu Niang as an ordinary young lady. Jiu Niang embarrassed Grandfather today because she saw through Grandfather's true purpose."

Hearing this, Hua Dalang's eyes flickered and an unnatural look flashed across his face.

Hana Rokuro continued, "And I also think my family is really pushing things too far."

"Grandfather has used his body-refining skills to gain the position of elder in the clan, and my brothers and sisters have also gained the attention of the Bo family because of their body-refining skills. Everything we have now is much better than before."

"Most of this was brought about by Jiu Niang."

"However, Grandfather wanted to maintain his absolute authority as the head of the family. He didn't want anyone to challenge his power. That's why he intentionally or unintentionally suppressed Jiu Niang and ignored her contributions to the family."

Hua Dalang wanted to explain for Grandpa Hua: "Grandfather is not."

"Brother, please listen to me first."

Hua Liulang forcibly stopped Hua Dalang: "Grandfather asked Jiu Niang to leave the Medical Department and come back to help the family, ignoring Jiu Niang's thoughts and wishes. Isn't his real purpose to want Jiu Niang to hand over the eleven medicine shops under her name and the spiritual mines in Sancha Medicine Valley to the family?"

"Brother, you responded to Grandfather like this, isn't it because you will be the biggest beneficiary after this goal is achieved?"

"I can guess what you are thinking, let alone Jiu Niang."

"Think about it and you will know that Jiu Niang built this business by herself, how could she be the kind of young lady who never goes out of the house and knows nothing?" "Jiu Niang must have seen through your tricks at a glance, so she was so ruthless today."

After listening to Hua Liulang's analysis, Hua Minghe, Yao, Hua Dalang and Hua Sanlang were all surprised. They did not expect that the rough-minded Hua Liulang could have such a keen insight into the facts.

Hua Dalang was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Liu Lang, aren't you also leaning towards Jiu Niang? You are doing this because Jiu Niang gave the spiritual mine to you to manage, isn't it?"

Hua Liulang did not deny it: "I admit that I can get a lot of benefits from helping Jiu Niang manage the spiritual mine. I have never thought of hiding this fact. I am proud to have a sister like Jiu Niang from the bottom of my heart."

"But what about you?"

"You are clearly after Jiu Niang's things, but you still pretend to be doing this for her good, and you keep accusing her of all sorts of wrongdoings."

"You all say that Jiu Niang has a bad temper, but have you ever thought that it might be because of Jiu Niang's bold and unyielding character that she was able to earn eleven medicine shops and a spiritual mine by herself?"

"Grandfather is even worse. He even wants to use his status as an elder to suppress Jiuniang and ask her to donate her medicine shop and spiritual mines for free. He even suppresses her with his words. If this isn't greed, what is it?"

Hua Dalang never expected that his younger brother, who had been taciturn since childhood, would one day be rendered speechless by him.

Hua Sanlang also looked at Hua Liulang with surprise: "Liulang, how did you become so good at speaking?"

Hua Liulang ignored Hua Sanlang and continued, "I talked to Jiuniang before, and I suddenly realized that everyone in the family was using filial piety and the idea that women should be respectful and modest to ask her to do things. They turned a blind eye to what she wanted to do and ignored it. It seemed that no one in the family stood by her. Looking at her lonely expression, I suddenly felt that she was so pitiful. I suddenly understood why she didn't tell her family anything."

Hearing this, Hua Minghe and Yao were stunned, and Hua Dalang and Hua Sanlang were also silent.

Hua Liulang looked at his parents and two brothers and said, "If we could earn eleven medicine shops and a spiritual mine, would we be willing to donate them to our family for free?"

"If we don't want to, why should we ask Jiu Niang to give it up?"

After a pause, Hua Liulang continued, "Based on my understanding of Jiu Niang, after today, Jiu Niang will no longer provide the family with medicinal materials for body-refining baths. You should be mentally prepared."

"I gave him the body-refining skills and the medicinal materials for the body-refining bath, but in the end, not only did I not get anything good, I was also blamed for everything. This kind of thing is unacceptable to anyone."

Hua Minghe looked at his third son and felt relieved. He thought, it is better to go out and gain experience and train people. Liu Lang has only been at the spiritual mine for a few months, and his growth is amazing.

At the same time, in the west room of the Hua family's main courtyard.

Mr. Hua sat on the kang with a gloomy face. Mrs. Hua sat opposite him, flipping through the list of gifts she received during the Mid-Autumn Festival. As she read, she said, "Don't you know Jiu Niang's temper? She has been disobedient since she was a child. If you criticize her in public, you should expect that she will embarrass you in public."

"If you ask me, your embarrassment today is entirely your own fault."

Mr. Hua said angrily, "Alright, stop making sarcastic remarks here. Think about what to do next."

Old Madam Hua paused and asked, "What happened next?"

Mr. Hua wiped his face with a headache: "The Bo Mansion wants all the chapters of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art."

After hearing this, Old Lady Hua said directly: "Why didn't you refuse? This matter cannot be agreed to. Even if Jiu Niang is willing to give it, you can't give it to the clan."

Old Master Hua lowered his head and said nothing.

Old Madam Hua knew that her husband wanted to prove himself in front of the clan members: "Don't worry about this matter. It is still unknown whether Jiu Niang will provide the family with body-building exercises in the future."

Mr. Hua raised his head suddenly: "Nineth Lady, you are not really that heartless, are you? You don't care about your brothers and sisters at home?"

Old Madam Hua said unhappily, "Didn't you tell Jiu Niang not to come back to this family?"

Mr. Hua also knew that he was in the wrong: "I was really angry, wasn't I?"

Old Madam Hua: "When the clan came to us and asked you to hand over the Qihuang Body Refining Technique to them, I asked you to tell Jiu Niang, but you refused for the sake of your reputation."

"If you ask me, you should let go of your pride. As an elder, it's not a big deal if you bow your head appropriately."

Mr. Hua was a little angry: "Why did I do all this? It was for the good of this family. Now it's my fault."

Old Madam Hua said directly: "You are indeed doing this for the good of your family, but you didn't include Jiu Niang. Not only did you not include her, but you also asked Jiu Niang to take out her things to benefit others. If it were me, I wouldn't do it either."

Old Master Hua was furious: "Okay, okay, I am the bad guy and you are all good people." After saying that, he stood up angrily and quickly walked out of the house.

When Old Lady Hua saw this, she continued to look through the gift list. She was not at all worried about her ninth granddaughter's outburst today. She knew very well that with the eldest granddaughter's wife around, even if Ninth Lady was angry, she would not really ignore the Hua family.

This is the blood relationship!
