Chapter 218 The Difficulties of a Stepmother (10)

Qi Yangui woke up in the early morning of the next day.

He got up from the ground and saw Old Zhang still lying beside him, so he quickly helped him up.

"This is a headache." Old Zhang patted his forehead again and again, complaining, "The old woman didn't even put me to bed."

"Uncle Zhang, we were all drunk last night. I'll go make you some hot tea now." Qi Yangui helped him sit up and then ran to the kitchen.

Looking at the weather, he knew that Shi Yi's mother and Shi Yi were still asleep. He thought about it and made breakfast directly.

Unfortunately, when Shi Yi's mother and Shi Yi woke up and looked at the full table of food, they didn't feel grateful at all, but were speechless, especially Shi Yi's mother who kept staring at him.

"Eat, eat." Old Zhang came back after washing his face and saw the full table of food, so he sat down carelessly.

"Eat, what are you eating!" Shi Yi's mother slammed the chopsticks, "Our family's food for a week is on the table."

"Go away, the old woman is angry." Old Zhang quickly slapped Qi Yangui's face.

Qi Yangui immediately understood and ran out the door without looking back.

"This coward." Old Zhang looked at his back that seemed to be fleeing in panic, full of disgust.

"Why are you still acting with him? It's a waste of time and it's also tormenting your body." Shi Yi's mother kept massaging her husband's body.

"Dad, it's all for the sake of me, your old girl." Shi Yi walked over and massaged his other shoulder tactfully. As soon as

Qi Yangui ran home, he was scolded by the old lady of the Qi family who was waiting at the door.

"You coward, you stayed at Zhang's house all night?! Don't you care about your old mother and daughter? Do you still have me as your mother in your heart? Let me ask you, I provide you with food and clothing, help you find a wife, and take care of your children. How have I let you down? Qi Yangui, Qi Yangui, you are exactly the same as your father who died early, you have no conscience. You have no conscience... You have no conscience..."

The old lady of the Qi family patted her sagging chest and cried loudly.

Mai Huaer, who had just finished feeding the pigs, didn't want to get involved in the war between her grandmother and her father, and squatted quietly in the corner of the pigpen watching the pigs fight for food.

"Mom, my head is buzzing, can you be quiet?" Qi Yangui covered his ears, not wanting to listen to her nagging. He could

n't get in because the old lady of the Qi family blocked the door, so he had to climb through the window.

"You ungrateful bastard, how could I raise a thing like you who is worse than a pig or a dog? I've told you that the Zhang family has ulterior motives. That old leftover woman who can't get married is deliberately trying to get married to you, why are you so stupid to bump into it yourself?" The grandmother of the Qi family banged her head against the earthen wall.

She hated her son in her heart, hating that he was not ambitious enough to marry someone else but the Zhang family! But her son seemed to be obsessed and insisted on marrying the Zhang family!

"Mom, Uncle Zhang said that when he gets married, he will give us half of his family as a dowry. From now on, you can have whatever you want to eat and buy whatever you want." Qi Yangui jumped into the house, threw down these words, and fell asleep.

After hearing about the Zhang family, Mai Huaer kept her ears perked up and listened carefully, so she didn't notice her grandmother coming up to her.

"You stinky slut, I told you to work but you're lazy here, wait and see how I'll deal with you, wait and see if I won't beat you to death..." The grandmother of the Qi family cursed and swung the cane in her hand to hit Mai Huaer.

After all, she was a money-loser, and she wouldn't feel any pain even if she was beaten to death.

"Grandma... it hurts... it hurts... I was wrong... stop hitting me..." Mai Huaer's face was bleeding from the beatings of the cane, and the part covered by her clothes was unknown, but she felt real pain, burning pain, so painful that she couldn't stand it.

"You're lazy at home and wasting food, so today I'll punish you to carry sweet potatoes to your uncle's house to exchange for food." The grandmother of the Qi family raised her cane and pointed to the inner room, and Mai Huaer agreed repeatedly.

Mai Huaer's uncle was her grandfather's younger brother, but her grandfather died early, and her grandmother looked down on this uncle, and later the two families basically stopped visiting. Now the grandmother asked her to go to her uncle's house to exchange for food, and Mai Huaer didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

She finally reached the road below her uncle's house, carrying the sweet potatoes that were obviously heavier than her body weight.

Looking at the tall stone ladder, she really didn't have the strength to climb up with the sweet potatoes on her back, so she had to shout on the road, "Uncle, uncle, I'm here to carry the sweet potatoes for you." After shouting for about ten times, a short and fat old man with a hunched back walked to the front of the field.

Mai Huaer noticed it with her sharp eyes, and waved her hand and shouted, "Uncle, uncle, my grandma asked me to carry the sweet potatoes for you, come down and meet me."

The old man looked at the little kid standing on the road and smiled in an ambiguous way, but his tone was very cheerful and lively: "Don't worry, wait for me, I'll come down to pick you up."

About ten minutes later, the old man walked to the road, consciously carried the basket on his back, but let Mai Huaer walk in front of him.

Mai Huaer was walking in front, and her uncle was walking behind with sweet potatoes on his back. He was breathing heavily, which made her feel uncomfortable. She always felt uneasy, but her uncle was a blood relative, and she thought that her uncle would not do anything bad. Soon, the two arrived at the old man's field.

The old man threw the basket on the ground, pulled Mai Huaer's hand and went into the house.

"Uncle, uncle, grandma asked me to carry this basket of sweet potatoes to exchange for food." Mai Huaer realized that something was wrong and held the pillar tightly.

"Come into the house first and I'll give you some milk to calm you down." The old man simply hugged her.

"Uncle, I'll wait for you at the door to give me food. I have to hurry home." Mai Huaer punched and kicked, not wanting to have any physical contact with him.

"No, you rarely come here, how can I let you leave without drinking a sip of water, just drink a bottle of milk, and then I'll let you go home after you finish drinking it." The old man's hand had already touched the part of Mai Huaer covered by clothes.

Mai Huaer thought of the secret that Shi Yi had told her when they were taking a bath at Zhang's house, that no one was allowed to touch the covered area, and she immediately realized that this uncle was not a good person.

She struggled desperately, leaving all kinds of marks on his hands, face, and legs.

The old man thought that a little girl would not be very strong, and he was not on guard, so Mai Huaer broke free in a few moves.

As soon as Mai Huaer was released, she ran desperately toward the road. She ran and ran until she saw Grandma Zhang, then she stopped and ran into her arms like a rocket and burst into tears.
