At twenty-three years old, Shen Fenghua was plagued by infertility, making her marriage unstable. She had thought she could live her whole life alone, but the organization, hoping to give her a sta...
Shen Fenghua was frightened and quickly advised, "Grandma, there's no rush. If you want to punish her, you can do it anytime. She still has a head injury. What if she accidentally bumps or hurts herself? What am I supposed to do then?"
It was right for Shen's mother to be beaten, but her grandmother's injuries hadn't healed yet.
"Get lost," Great-Grandma pushed Shen Fenghua away. "You didn't even see me when I was weeding pig feed in the fields! I'm still healthy, so stop changing the subject and let go of me."
Nianping and Nian'an, those two kids, were also incredibly cunning. Knowing that the person outside was treating his aunt badly, they didn't even bother with a feather duster; they just scooped out the rolling pin.
After handing the rolling pin to their grandmother, the two brothers took a step back, looking completely innocent.
Shen Fenghua: "..."
What a good child.
Shen Fenghua tried to persuade her from inside, but her mother was still shouting outside, her curses becoming increasingly offensive and outrageous.
Grandma's temper was flaring up. "Let go! I'm going to teach this ignorant brat a lesson today. Giving birth to a child and then not raising it, raising it and then not teaching it—what kind of mother is she? Now that the child has grown up and become successful, she wants to cling to me again. Bah!"
Especially when you think about how all the children you raised are the same.
The same heartless and cruel people made Grandma feel bitter, and she couldn't help but show some sorrow on her face. If she hadn't raised a granddaughter before, would she have been able to get by in her old age?
"Okay, okay," Shen Fenghua thought, "I'll not stop you then. But we can't use the rolling pin. I was planning to have you use it to roll noodles for me tomorrow, Grandma. It wouldn't be worth it if it got dirty."
The rolling pin was too short for close combat, and Shen Fenghua was afraid that her mother would retaliate after being hurt, and might accidentally push her grandmother down. The feather duster was much better; it was long enough that she could whip it a couple of times without causing any damage. Even if her mother wanted to retaliate, her arms would need to be long enough.
While persuading her grandmother, Shen Fenghua winked at the two little brats behind her who were only interested in watching the show, "Hurry up, what are you waiting for? Get the feather duster for Grandma!"
Nianping and Nian'an didn't disobey. They quickly ran into the house, took out the feather duster, and Nian'an took the rolling pin from her grandmother, vowing to keep it safe, since her mother said she wanted to eat hand-pulled noodles tomorrow.
The little boy hugged the rolling pin, his face serious. "Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely put the rolling pin away safely!"
The moment the word "Mom" came out, not only Shen Fenghua was stunned, but even Qi Nian'an was taken aback.
Looking at the clearly stunned Shen Fenghua, Qi Nian'an was at a loss. He subconsciously wanted to apologize, but Shen Fenghua's face immediately lit up with a smile. She bent down, hugged Qi Nian'an, and gave him a loud kiss on his not-so-soft little face. "Hey! Remember, from now on you'll call me Mom! Mom loves to hear that!"
After saying that, he waved to Qi Nianping, who was standing there dumbfounded, and asked, "Why don't you say something too?"
Qi Nianping called out in a clear, melodious voice, "Mommy!"
"good!"
She's been so busy lately that she didn't even think to ask her child to change how they addressed her after getting their marriage certificate. "Mom was careless this time. We can postpone the red envelope. How about we get rid of that annoying guy at the door first?"
Oh dear, I absolutely have to go and get a little hen to stew now, it's double happiness!
Grandma was overjoyed. Inside, there was warmth and affection, while outside, dogs barked incessantly. Compared to that, Chen's mother seemed rather pathetic.
Grandma rolled up her sleeves. "Alright, you three can catch up later. Open the door for me first."
She was determined to teach this heartless daughter a lesson. All she did was cause trouble; she never considered how Feng Hua would survive here after all this.
If they encountered people who didn't know the inside story, they would definitely gossip about Feng Hua behind her back.
Just thinking about it makes Grandma feel heartbroken.
Shen Fenghua had no idea what her grandmother was thinking. Thinking that she had gained two big, fat sons for free, she happily opened the door.
Mother Shen was shouting outside until her voice was hoarse. If it weren't for the large crowd of onlookers behind her, she would have left long ago.
The door suddenly opened, and the curses that Chen's mother was about to utter caught in her throat. When she came to her senses, she wanted to unleash her fury, but then she saw her mother.
Mother Shen: "!!!"
She instinctively took a half step back. Her mother?
Having not seen her for many years, Shen's mother almost thought she was seeing things, but it didn't matter, her grandmother quickly helped her remember.
"Scream! I'll teach you to scream!" Grandma instantly transformed into a war goddess, raising the feather duster high and slapping it down on Chen's mother's arm. "First slap, for disowning your own mother, for being unfilial and disrespectful."
Grandma didn't hold back; when she swung the feather duster down, it made a whooshing sound.
"ah!"
The feather duster landed on her, and Chen Mu shuddered in pain, almost flying off the spot.
The surrounding crowd, who had been whispering and watching the show, fell silent for a moment, then dispersed in perfect unison. The old woman still had gauze wrapped around her head, but judging from her fighting spirit, she was no pushover!
If I get accidentally injured, where can I go to seek justice?
"The second time, I'll hit you for being biased. You gave birth to me but didn't raise me. You don't deserve to be a mother."
Chen's mother tried to run away too! But Grandma's feather duster seemed to have eyes, aiming only at her. "Aaaaaahhhhh~!"
The mother was in so much pain that snot and tears streamed down her face. "Mother, please stop hitting me! I was wrong, I was really wrong! Waaaaaah, it hurts so much!"
"Don't call me 'Mom'!" Grandma said, and the third slap landed, "Smack!"
"ah!"
The mother's movements were not much different from those during the New Year when pigs were slaughtered.
"I don't have a daughter like you. I've cherished and pampered you for so many years, and now that you've married into the city, you've forgotten your origins. What? You look down on your parents for being farmers?"
Grandma always told the truth; there was no fabrication involved.
Shen's mother was indeed ruthless.
Completely selfish; as long as they are doing well, they have absolutely no regard for human feelings.
"In all these years since you married into this family, have you ever come back a second time, except for the time you sent your daughter back to the countryside?"
Taking advantage of the chaos, Grandma lashed out seven or eight times, making Chen's mother cry uncontrollably.
Although Shen Fenghua felt relieved, she was worried that her grandmother was getting too angry and might do something wrong, so she quickly stepped forward to persuade her, "Alright, Grandma, calm down."
Grandma was panting heavily. She picked up a feather duster and pointed it at Chen's mother. Before she could even lift a finger, Chen's mother was so frightened that she trembled.
"Let me tell you, you think you can control my precious daughter? No way! If you dare to come here and cause trouble for my daughter again, I'll make a scene. I'll go to Shen Qizhen's workplace and make a scene. If anyone makes my daughter unhappy, none of us will have a good time!"
"What?"
Ignoring the pain, Chen's mother scrambled to her feet, her eyes wide. "Mother, you can't joke about something like that!"
