“What are you doing!”
Qin Taoxian saw a scene in which her clothes turned into strips of yellow cloth, cut into tiny pieces.
I'm so heartbroken! That was her favorite dress! She didn't ask a tailor to make it, she bought it at the department store for just over ten dollars!
Every time she went back to the countryside and wore this dress, the people in the production team who looked down on her the most would come over and say a few nice words to her, their eyes shining as they looked at her.
She only had one nice dress, and Zhu Chunmiao actually cut it for her!
It's so infuriating.
Zhu Chunmiao threw the clothes on the ground bit by bit, and snapped the scissors in his hand a few times: "What else can I do? Are you deaf? We need to eat, who are you trying to starve to death?"
"Go and cook. In ancient times, you weren't even considered a concubine. You have no sense at all. We're so hungry, yet you're still lying on the kang."
"Hurry up and go, or I'll cut all your hair off."
Zhu Chunmiao didn't look like he was joking. His expression was serious, exuding a strong sense of hostility and contempt.
Qin Taoxian had a feeling.
It shouldn't be a feeling, but a certainty.
She was sure that Zhu Chunmiao didn't treat her as a human being at all. He treated her like a street dog, not a servant.
"You...you've gone too far. A poor relative of the Xiao family comes here and thinks he's a big shot. Let me tell you, Xiao Chengda and I have a marriage certificate, and I'm the mistress of this family...You, don't come over here. What are you doing? Let me go. My hair, my hair!"
Zhu Chunmiao walked over, holding the scissors in his right hand and grabbing Qin Taoxian's hair with his left hand.
A pair of scissors cut above her forehead, leaving a two-centimeter-long fringe of hair. Qin Taoxian's hair was hard and stuck straight on her forehead, looking extremely ugly.
"Zhu Chunmiao, let me go! You are not allowed to cut my hair! I will report you to the police! I will report you to the police!"
Qin Taoxian's throat was sore from the screams.
Seeing the pieces of his clothes falling away from him, he was heartbroken.
Then she saw that a lot of her hair had fallen out. She was not as pretty as Gu Xiufang, and she relied on those few strands of hair to hold her head up and modify her high cheekbones. Without her hair, wouldn’t all her shortcomings be exposed?
The louder she shouted, the faster Zhu Chunmiao moved.
All I heard was the sound of "crunch, crunch, crunch" as hair fell to the ground. All the hair on the kang was long, but the hair on the head was particularly short, just reaching the ears.
A few minutes later, Zhu Chunmiao put away the scissors with satisfaction and moved his shoulders: "Okay, no need to thank me. In our hometown, I get a bowl of coarse grains in exchange for cutting the old lady's hair. I won't charge you. Go cook quickly and don't force me to do anything."
He left with a threatening and meaningful look.
Snap, Snap...
Qin Taoxian's tears fell, and it was as if there were two big water tanks in her eyes, and she couldn't stop crying.
"No, my hair, my hair..."
She grabbed the black hair on the kang and pressed it against her head. Her eyes were red and she looked like a madman. The hair was so hard that it poked the skin on her head and some of it actually pierced into her skin.
Next to him, Xiao Chengda kicked the kang with his feet and used all his strength to stick to the kang cabinet. He looked at Qin Taoxian, whose hair was shorter than his and uneven as if it had been gnawed by a dog, and swallowed hard.
Fortunately, no one noticed him hiding in the corner.
It's so scary.
"Don't cry, get up and cook. She'll cut your pants off later."
Qin Taoxian was already sad and needed a man's careful comfort. Not only did Xiao Chengda not comfort her, he also ordered her to work. As expected, she also resented Xiao Chengda.
"You incompetent person, you blame me when I'm bullied. You're a man, why didn't you reach out to pull her back? Look at my hair being cut like this, do I still want to live?"
It's so infuriating. Not only did he not help her, but he also urged her.
Xiao Chengda didn't think there was anything strange: "I was beaten that day, did you two help me?"
He even felt a little happy in his heart, as Zhu Chunmiao was helping him to get revenge in disguise.
This mother and daughter refused to help him, yet they still wanted him to help?
Huang Wanqing walked in tremblingly from outside: "Stop arguing, I'll go cook, okay?"
It was so scary, she escaped death by peeing.
There was not much meat at home, so Huang Wanqing made some stir-fried eggs and made a pot of food for them. Of course, there was no share for them. They just scrambled for food and didn't get a single bite.
From morning to night, only cold water is used to fill the stomach.
They are now looking forward to calling their mother's family from the countryside tomorrow morning to solve this trouble.
Qin Taoxian waited till the next morning in hunger and agony. The new day came as usual. Her hair was gone and she didn't want to go out. She lay on the kang with her eyes open, crying all night until her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
Huang Wanqing sensibly went outside to cook porridge. While her family was eating, she sneaked out and found a donkey cart going to their house near the department store. She gave a few cents to the donkey cart and took it home. She then complained to her uncles and brothers and asked them to come and help.
Ever since Qin Taoxian hooked up with Xiao Chengda, the Qin family's life has improved.
The most obvious thing is that Qin Taoxian's eldest nephew, who is of age, has already married.
Originally, they couldn't get married because they were too poor and no one was willing to marry them. It was Qin Taoxian who spent more than 100 yuan to find a wife for her. Not only did he give her money, he also bought her bedding, pillows, etc., and renovated her house.
The Qin family went from being a family that everyone looked down upon to one that everyone envied.
Huang Wanqing came back in an oxcart. Everyone she met on the road greeted her: "The girl from Old Qin's family is back again. Your mother is the same. She has made her family so prosperous, why doesn't she go to see your grandmother? Your grandmother's eyesight is not very good, and she is almost starving to death at home."
"The house she lives in is leaking, and her quilt is soaked. It was the people in the production team who couldn't bear to see it and changed it for her. Girl, she's your own grandmother. Go and see her when you have time."
Passersby couldn't bear to watch it anymore and thought that Qin Taoxian and Huang Wanqing were too cruel. The man had just died, leaving behind such an old lady. Life must be so difficult for her.
Huang Wanqing thought he was here to compliment her, but who knew he was here to teach her a lesson.
"It's none of your business. She's so old and still can't live. She's just not kind to her children. She even had teeth last year. She's unlucky for us. If you're kind enough, just take her home and raise her. I won't compete with you for that old lady."
"Hey, you heartless kid! Your dad and grandma treated you so well when you were little. When you had measles, the old lady took you to the doctor and raised you with all her hard work. Now you treat her like this? Be careful of retribution!"
