Chapter 1504: Lu Family’s Great-Grandson 2
Ma Cuixia has four older brothers and one younger brother. Together, the five brothers have twenty-three sons. The oldest nephew is over thirty, and the eldest grandnephew is already fifteen. The youngest nephew is sixteen this year and still in school. You could say this is a very large and powerful extended family. As the only paternal aunt in the family, her status in her maiden home was beyond question.
Her brothers and younger brother were all honest, hardworking men. Her nephews respected her greatly, and several of them had only been able to attend school thanks to financial support from her and Hu Ping. Even though occasional tension arose between her and her sisters-in-law, these were never serious matters in her eyes.
Ma Cuixia was calculating how much game and mountain goods she could buy with the cash in her pocket as she walked into her eldest brother’s house, but she immediately sensed something unusual.
The whole family was shrouded in a gloomy and sorrowful atmosphere.
"Xiaoxia, you’re here? Just sit yourself down on the kang, no need for me to greet you." Ma Lao Da, sitting cross-legged on the kang while smoking, shifted over slightly, his bronzed, weathered face filled with bitterness.
"Big Brother, what happened at home? Why didn’t anyone let me know?" Ma Cuixia asked.
