Peng Chunhua's eyes flashed with panic, and she tried to remain calm and said, "Aixiang, you misunderstood me. I have four children at home, and there is never enough food. How could there be rotten food? Did you remember it wrongly?"

Luo Aixiang widened her eyes. The old lady's ability to confuse right and wrong seemed to be growing with her age.

The corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "Auntie, do you know what I think of you now?"

"What?" Peng Chunhua knew that it was not a good thing, but she asked anyway.

"An old white lotus slowly blooming!"

Peng Chunhua didn't understand what Luo Aixiang meant, but she knew from her expression that it was not a good thing.

She said with a sullen face, "Ai Xiang, no matter what, I am still your aunt. How can you talk to your elders like this?"

"Elder?" Luo Aixiang sneered, "He is one generation older than me, and several generations more vicious than me."

"You..." Peng Chunhua's harsh face trembled, "Why do you speak so harshly? Didn't you say you were admitted to Beijing University? Shouldn't you be more well-educated and well-mannered?" The school hasn't seen such a disrespectful person yet, but if they see her, they will definitely expel her.

Peng Chunhua thought of something and glanced at Luo Ailan, who had a grim expression on her face.

"It's because I've been educated that I know you're as vicious as my stepmother!" Luo Aixiang took Luo Ailan's arm and looked at Peng Chunhua provocatively.

"You..." Peng Chunhua didn't expect Luo Aixiang to call her vicious and compare her with Han Maimiao, whom she had always looked down upon. She became even more angry.

Luo Ailan looked at her mother's chest rising and falling due to Luo Ai's fragrance, and felt inexplicably good.

She did what she dared not do.

"You are right."

"Luo Ailan, what are you talking about?" Peng Chunhua didn't dare to hit Luo Aixiang. Now that they hadn't seen each other for a while, Luo Aixiang's mouth was like a knife, throwing it at her again and again. But it was natural for her to hit Luo Ailan.

But she is her biological mother.

As she spoke, Peng Chunhua rushed towards Luo Ailan, grabbed her hair and started pulling it hard.

Luo Ailan was pulled so hard that she bent down.

Luo Aixiang quickly pried Peng Chunhua's hand away, "Auntie, my sister is already grown up, you can't hit her like you did when she was a child."

Luo Aixiang was very strong, and she used some skill when she was trying to pry Peng Chunhua's fingers apart. It didn't seem like she was using much strength, but Peng Chunhua's fingers were so painful that they felt like they were about to break.

Shen Qinghe had taught her and Luo Ailan some self-defense techniques, but she didn't expect to use them on the old lady.

It's also ironic.

"Ah, Aixiang, how can you be so cruel? My fingers are about to break." Peng Chunhua shook her hands and muttered loudly.

Han Maimiao reached out and poked the stunned Luo Tiechan, and whispered, "Sister-in-law is usually very good to Xiaobao. You can't just watch our daughter bully Sister-in-law. This is very disrespectful. Who will dare to marry her in the future?"

Luo Tieshao came back to his senses, stuffed the pipe into Han Maiyin's hand, and strode towards Luo Aixiang. His arms were strong from years of work, and he swept Luo Aixiang aside.

He cursed, "You are so rebellious that you even dared to attack your aunt."

Luo Tiezhu also came back to his senses and scolded Luo Ailan, "You bitch, not only do you stay out all day and never come home, but you even dared to hide when your mother hit you."

As he said that, he kicked Luo Ailan hard in the knee.

Luo Ailan was kicked so hard that she almost fell to her knees, and she was in so much pain that she was about to cry.

But the pain in her body was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

She was their first child. Her parents loved her when she was a child, but after she had a younger brother, they only used her.

She would rather they had never been nice to her, so that she would have nothing to hope for.

Peng Chunhua took advantage of Luo Ailan's daze to snatch the net bag from her hand, and swallowed her saliva as she looked at the meat inside.

She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten meat.

It’s not that I don’t have money to buy meat.

I can't bear to do that.

She wants to save money for Dabao to get married in the future.

She originally thought that Luo Ailan would have no food to eat after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, and she was even a little happy to see that she did not come back.

We need food for one more person when we come back.

I never dreamed that this girl could eat so well outside and her clothes looked so good too.

If I had known she would have come here earlier.

Luo Ailan's hands were empty, and she saw her mother staring at a piece of meat with greed as if she was staring at a gem.

She suddenly felt a little pity for her.

Her mother is also a woman, but she looks down on herself and her daughter. Not only does she revolve around men and sons all her life, she also wants her three daughters to revolve around men.

When Han Maimiao saw that her sister-in-law snatched the net bag from Luo Ailan's hand, she rolled her eyes and snatched the net bag from Luo Aixiang's hand. She held it in her arms and looked at Luo Aixiang vigilantly, afraid that she would snatch it back.

"Ai Xiang, your father, Xiao Bao and I haven't had good food for a long time. Give us these things."

Luo Aixiang, "..."

She doesn't care about these foods at all now.

If they behaved like good people, she would have earned money but not given it to them.

"Can we go now?" Luo Ailan looked at the so-called relatives in front of her with red eyes. The way they looked at her was as vicious as if they were looking at an enemy. There was not a trace of warmth in their eyes.

Peng Chunhua was afraid that Luo Ailan would take the meat back, so she looked at Luo Tiezhu and said, "It's getting late. Go back quickly, or it will be dark soon."

Anyway, I already know that this damn girl lives here, so I'll come look for her later.

Luo Tiezhu nodded and looked at the second brother, "Shovel, let's go."

After saying this, he followed Peng Chunhua without caring about the second brother and his wife's reaction.

When Han Maimiao saw his elder brother and sister-in-law leaving, he pulled Luo Tieshao's arm and left with the net bag.

"Aixiang, didn't you say this morning that you wanted to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs from the state-owned restaurant? Let's go eat it now." Luo Ailan reached out to wipe the tears from her face and smiled at Luo Aixiang.

Luo Aixiang looked at Luo Ailan and wanted to say, Sister, your smile is uglier than crying.

She knew that Luo Ailan was more upset than her because of what the old lady had done today.

She didn't feel anything because her mother died when she was very young, and after her father remarried a stepmother, he treated her worse and worse every year, so she had long since become numb.

Like Luo Ailan, when her uncle and aunt had only one child, they treated her very well. Later, in order to coax her to help raise her younger siblings, they were also affectionate with her in their words.

But later, when they saw that Luo Ailan didn't listen to them, their true colors showed.

Especially after Luo Ailan lost her job at the supply and marketing cooperative, her uncle and aunt never cared about how Luo Ailan lived outside.

To put it bluntly, even if Luo Ailan died outside, her uncle and aunt probably wouldn't shed a single tear.

She is naturally so.

So these days, the two sisters depend on each other.

With the support of good friends like Shen Qinghe, life is getting better and better.

"Okay, you still want to eat braised pork, let's go eat it together, but go home and wash your face and change clothes before going."

Luo Ailan looked down at the pants that were kicked dirty by her father and nodded silently.

Luo Aixiang changed her clothes and glanced at Luo Ailan who was still changing. "Sister, I'm going to go to Qinghe next door. I'll be back soon. Wait for me."

After saying that, Luo Aixiang ran away in a hurry.

Luo Ailan didn't care. As she changed her clothes, tears fell down, wetting the clothes on her chest.
