Hua Erniang was left speechless by her torrent of words, unsure of how to react, and after thinking for a long while, she finally murmured, "Your brother-in-law will soon go to the city to open a smithy. As long as he works hard, we won't lack money to spend in the future..."
"Opening a smithy is your family's business, what does it have to do with me?" Hua Xiaomai stood up, her tone far from pleasant, "Just because your family can make money in the future, I should feel perfectly fine about embezzling the profits meant for you? Think about it, does that make any sense?"
Hua Erniang, usually quick-witted, became tongue-tied from the scolding, and only reached out to pull her, weakly whispering, "Don't speak so loudly, please. Can't we sit down and talk about it slowly?"
