Black Wind Village is a backward and impoverished place. The Ma family is spoken of by everyone in the village. After having five sons, the 40-year-old woman of the Ma family became pregnant again....
Liu Beibei served the whole family without complaint. She looked at them greedily, and sometimes she could hardly control her expression.
"What did you do today?" The man's flippant tone carried a hint of impatience.
"Honey, I made you chestnut chicken, it's delicious, and the soup is especially flavorful." Liu Beibei coaxed him to eat like she was coaxing a child.
Just as the family was enjoying their meal, Liu Beibei's phone rang. Was it a WeChat video call?
She apologized, feeling embarrassed, and then ran to the kitchen to get it.
"The day doesn't understand the night's darkness; I'd like to video chat with you."
Liu Beibei; "……………………"
She answered the call with her eyes closed.
Ma Linghua was in the park. The lights were dim, but the surrounding hazy light still allowed her to see people clearly.
"Little Liu! Come out quickly, the old lady is here to sell her goods."
Liu Beibei twitched her lips and said, "Okay, I'm coming right now."
As she left the kitchen, she saw that the man and his family had finished all the food, leaving her with nothing.
Liu Beibei didn't seem to mind, as if it were a common occurrence. "Dad, Mom, leave it for now. I'll pack it up when I get back. I have something to do at the company, so I'll go out for a bit. You two get some rest!"
"Alright, alright, are you annoying me? If you're going to leave, hurry up and get going, stop dawdling." The man impatiently urged her to leave.
Liu Beibei turned around, a red light flashing in her eyes, and a strange smile on her lips.
Knowing that the whole family had eaten their fill, she felt happy, picked up her bag, and went out.
"Pah! What a vixen! I don't know what bad luck our family had to marry her." The old woman spat at Liu Beibei as she left, her words sharp and sarcastic.
