Xiaxia is Mrs. Liu's first daughter, and besides, Mrs. Liu doesn't have any bias towards sons over daughters.
So, over the years, she's treated Xiaxia like a treasure.
But no matter how much of a treasure, she couldn't escape Old Mrs. Mu's casual ordering around.
There you go, Xiaxia just got home and Old Mrs. Mu rushed her off to plant rice seedlings in the field. An afternoon later, the fair-skinned Xiaxia returned from her mother's family got her skin peeled by the sun, with her face and wrists visibly darkened by several shades.
"Mom, the vegetables are picked, does Xiaxia need to do anything else?" Mu Xiaxia held a wooden basin filled with vegetables for tonight and two taels of meat.
Mu Xianxian, still scheming to get the recipe from Mu Shuangshuang, sent her maid over to fetch herself three days later. With her around, and now the pampered Mu Xiangxiang back as well, Old Mu Family would likely have meat at every meal.
