"So, sister, how many points did you get in the final exam?"

"I think it's a full score! I deducted 0.5 points for the composition."

"Sister, you are so good, please teach me! I don't know how to do a lot of my winter vacation homework."

"Okay, I'll teach you everything you don't know. Do you have any other plans? Let's arrange it this way. Are you okay with that?"

Zhou Hua nodded vigorously. "I don't want to go to primary school anymore. My classmates all laugh at me and call me a fool."

Zhou Xiang held his brother's hand tightly, "Okay, I'll find a way to transfer you to another school."

Zhou Hua smiled happily, and Zhou Xiang was also happy seeing this. His brother had never smiled since he met him, and this was a smile from the heart.

The brother and sister returned to their grandmother's small yard. When they were about to enter the yard, Zhou Hua visibly shuddered.

Zhou Xiang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. I have a way to deal with her. You can definitely come with us. You just need to put away your homework later."

Zhou Hua nodded vigorously and followed his sister into the yard.

The brother and sister entered the yard. The second sister Zhou Yu came back from somewhere and asked, "Xiao San, Xiao Si, where did you two go to play?"

Zhou Xiang listened to her questioning tone and tugged at Zhou Hua's hand, "What's it to you? Aren't you out having fun? Weren't you at home when we came?"

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes. This little sister has become bolder and dares to talk back at grandma's house. Isn't she afraid of grandma?

When Old Lady Liu heard what Zhou Xiang said, she wanted to teach her a lesson, but thinking of Zhou Yu's recent disobedience, she couldn't help her.

Seeing that his grandmother didn't say anything, Zhou Yu couldn't understand what she meant, so he didn't dare to say anything. His parents were still there!

Lunch was ready, but there was no room for six people to sit at the table.

The three children ate while standing, the three adults ate while sitting, and Zhou Xiang squatted down to eat with his bowl in hand.

Zhou Yu was about to make things worse for her when Zhou Xiang said, "I feel dizzy after standing for too long. It would be better if I squat down."

Old Lady Liu was unhappy again, "Too much trouble."

"Grandma, look at my face, it's so dark and yellow. Look at my arms and legs, they're as thin as bamboo poles. I only eat rice with soup every day. The little money we have at home is used to support the living expenses of the four of us sisters and our tuition. We can't even have eggs. I'm so thin, but you don't allow me to feel dizzy? How can that be justified?"

Zhou's mother wanted to stop her daughter from speaking any further, but she spoke too fast.

Zhou Yu stood by and raised his mouth, "Hmph, you live a comfortable life with your parents, why don't you try your grandmother's skills?"

Zhou Xiang didn't want to explode today, but when he squatted down to eat, Old Lady Liu also had something to say, so she made sure you couldn't say it.

Old Lady Liu patted her chest, gasping for breath. She pointed at Zhou Xiang and said, "You, you mean I collected the living expenses? If you don't want to pay for the living expenses, you can take it away. I don't want it."

Zhou Xiang simply put down his bowl and argued carefully with Old Lady Liu. "I just want to ask you one thing, did you really ask my mother to take my third brother and second sister away? You don't have to use this sentence to scare my mother every time.

You need seven yuan a month for living expenses. If my second sister and third brother were to stay with us, they wouldn't need that much. Do you want me to calculate it for you? Rice and flour are both 1.67 yuan per pound. They only need two ounces of rice or three ounces of flour for a meal. That's more than 20 pounds of rice and flour a month, which is just over three yuan. Can vegetables be more expensive than rice and flour?

If they followed us, at most they would add a little more water and salt to the dishes. You appear to be helping your daughter, but what are you really doing?

My grandfather gave me five dollars because my eldest brother often needs to take medicine. You are not as selfless as you think you are. Do you think the blood and sweat of your own daughter tastes good?

Every time I come here, you always bully me, as if someone owes you something. Who owes you anything? I tried to take my third brother away several times, but did you let me go?

You don't have to cover your heart, you can live to be over ninety! Mom, Dad, third brother and second sister, all of you go out, I have something private to say to her, now that I have said it today, let's just say it directly! "

Zhou's mother dragged her eldest daughter out, and seeing this, Zhou's father also dragged his youngest son out.

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Xiang squatted beside Old Lady Liu and said in a low voice, "Third Brother must be taken away today. Since you don't like it, my second sister can leave too. I know that the school has persuaded her to drop out several times. Do you know why she became like this?

It's your fault, it's your nephew who did it. Your cousin harassed your niece. If this news gets out, do you think you can survive?

It happened right next to you. You were the one who let the wolf into your home, bringing your nephew from your mother's side. Do you think my mother would hate you if she found out? How do you feel about hearing this news now? Do you want to die?

I'm telling you, I hate you. I hate you for destroying my family. You almost destroyed my second sister. How could she not hate me and my parents? How could my third brother not hate you when you beat him up every day?

How is your nephew treating you now? Has he mentioned supporting you in your old age again? Do you find it pleasing that Xiao Hou is always nagging you? Have you ever considered who you'll rely on in your later years?

"You're lying on your daughter sucking her blood. What are you saving your salary for? Are you leaving it to your good nephew?"

Old Mrs. Liu's head was buzzing. Looking at the hatred bursting out of her little granddaughter's eyes and listening to the shocking events she had just told, she felt her heart sink to the bottom. She didn't even dare to collect evidence to determine whether this matter was true.

Liu Shan has changed. He is no longer the person who is grateful to his aunt. Xiao Hou argues with him every day. He really doesn't know who to rely on in his old age.

The little granddaughter has also changed. She is no longer the timid little girl. There is hatred in her eyes, deep hatred. Is she really wrong?

Perhaps, it was a mistake from the moment she agreed to let her brother ask Liu Shanding to take her place. One wrong step would lead to another. Since Zhou Xiangxiang wanted to take her second sister and third brother away, then let him take them away.

If my eldest daughter starts to hate me again, no one will care about me in my later years.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll let you take your second sister and third brother away, and don't investigate your second sister's affairs any further."

Zhou Xiang chuckled, "Are you afraid your eldest daughter will hate you? Or are you afraid that if it gets exposed, you'll be humiliated and your nephew will be expelled? Huh? You can't accept either of those things, right? You deserve it. You brought this upon yourself. You've ruined two generations. You're such a pervert, and you still think you're so great."

Old Lady Liu calmed down and asked, "Then why do you hate me? Your third brother and second sister can understand. You only come to my place a few times a year. Why do you hate me?"

Zhou Xiang was silent for a long time, his eyes empty, and he said softly, "I had a dream, a long dream. In the dream, I was admitted to the county junior high school and came to stay with you. And so my nightmare began..."

Old Lady Liu listened quietly, and when she heard that her sisters all had bad endings, she finally understood where her hatred came from.
