Chapter 30 The Ugly Things She Did
As she said this, Ye Xiaomei's heart was beating wildly and she glanced at Ma Qijun cautiously again.
Seeing him nod secretly, Ye Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Wang Minzhi's eyes widened, and her finger pointed at Ye Xiaomei and trembled constantly: "You...what did you say?"
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Xiaolin." Ye Xiaomei saw the look in the old lady's eyes as if she wanted to eat her. The courage that she had just built up in her heart was little by little repelled by that fierce look.
"If you dare to tell me lies, I will tear your mouth apart." Wang Minzhi's mouth was splattered with saliva while she was cutting her teeth. She looked like she wanted to eat Ye Xiaomei alive.
Then she left angrily and closed the door of the east room forcefully. Ye Xiaomei was still frightened.
After the deafening noise, the Ye family became as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
Ye Xiaomei and Ma Qijun sat facing each other without speaking.
Ma Qijun couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere and cleared his throat: "You don't have to be so scared."
Ye Xiaomei shook her head. When she looked at Ma Qijun's face, her eyes were full of light. She blushed and quickly looked away, secretly using the back of her hand to cool her face:
"No, it's just that I heard that Zhang Changjiang's family has a backer, and I'm afraid..."
"This is a man's business. You don't need to think too much about it. Just be a good woman to me." As soon as Ma Qijun said this, Ye Xiaomei ran away.
Ran away? Ma Qijun stared at her in astonishment. He could tell that this girl was quite timid, but it seemed that he had said nothing wrong.
Ye Xiaomei's heart was pounding like thunder and drums. She couldn't calm down for a long time after returning to the room. Her face was so hot that it couldn't be described as hot. It was directly on fire.
His woman?
Ye Xiaomei bit her lips tightly, her eyes filled with joy. From the beginning to the end, she had never thought that she would develop feelings in this marriage.
After all, her earliest concept was that women's fate was so simple, as simple as her mother's, and it would be a lifetime marriage no matter who she married. Moreover, she was also trying to solve her strange disease.
Unexpectedly, she is also qualified to experience a thrilling love.
“Knock knock!”
There was a knock on the door, and Ye Xiaomei quickly cleared up her thoughts: "Um, Brother Ma, I'm fine, I just... just came to get the teacup."
"I'm glad you're okay. I thought you were scared."
"No, no, I'm not scared." His voice was clearly trembling.
Ma Qijun didn't believe her even though she said she wasn't scared. It seemed that he really shouldn't be violent in front of this girl in the future. A girl with such a gentle personality like her should control her temper.
"What's going on? Where are the people?"
Zhao Mei's voice came from the yard.
Ye Xiaomei hurried out the door, and Ma Qijun had already arrived in the yard.
"Where are the people?" Li Cuihua looked confused. The "delicious dishes" on the table that she had spent a lot of money to prepare were not touched at all.
As luck would have it, Heizi also came back with a net bag.
"Boss, let's eat. Why are you all standing here? Look, the food is getting cold." Heizi put the small hairtail fish he caught in the well, walked into the main room, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite:
"Boss, this tastes really authentic."
As soon as he realized something was wrong, Heizi felt embarrassed to continue eating. What was going on?
Ye Xiaomei knew what she would face next, and she also knew that Ma Qijun could vent his anger by beating up that ruffian Zhang Changjiang, but he could not beat up his own family.
"Grandma, please wait a moment. I'll take Brother Ma back first."
Ma Qijun was confused. He hadn't said he wanted to go back, so why was he being sent back so soon? He hadn't even seen enough of Xiaomei, but Heizi had already sent him back.
Ye Xiaomei held onto the door frame and looked outside, not feeling relieved until her military jeep was out of sight.
"Xiao Mei, what happened? Was there a fight?" Zhao Mei also noticed the details, which was the broken chair.
The expected thing finally happened.
From the east room came the sound of ghosts howling: "Mom, stop hitting me, stop hitting me."
Li Cuihua and Zhao Mei looked at each other in panic, now even more confused about what was going on.
The sound of things breaking continued from the east room, and Wang Minzhi chased Ye Xiaolin around the room with her shoe soles lifted up.
"You've really made me lose face. Fine, if I don't beat you to death today, I'll turn against you and call you my mother."
With a bang, Ye Xiaolin rushed out of the house with disheveled hair and dirty face. Then Wang Minzhi picked up the broom behind the door and hit her.
Everything was as Ye Xiaomei expected, but she didn't expect that the aunt, who had never beaten her cousin before, would be much more severe and vicious than she imagined.
Li Cuihua rushed over to stop him and said, "What's going on? Don't hurt the child."
Wang Minzhi then held the broom and gasped for breath, glaring at Zhao Mei and her husband. She couldn't swallow the anger she had received from beating them so hard:
"Ask her yourself. I don't have the nerve to say it out loud."
She was embarrassed in front of her brother's wife and her family. She scolded her for being a slut and a vixen, and then she was slapped in the face by her own daughter. How could she face people?
Ye Xiaomei glanced at Ye Xiaolin who was gasping for breath at the foot of the wall. Her eyes seemed to be piercing, and she probably had internal injuries from anger.
Li Cuihua and Wang Minzhi stayed in the east room all afternoon.
Until dinner time, except for Ye Xiaolin who hid in the room and couldn't come out, Li Cuihua and Wang Minzhi couldn't eat at all.
Ye Xiaomei, on the other hand, was busy picking up some food for the little girl. These were all the delicious leftovers from lunch.
Zhao Mei also knew the whole story, but she couldn't interrupt and could only eat her meal in silence.
"Your family took the food to your own room to eat. It makes me upset." Wang Minzhi felt dry-mouthed for no apparent reason.
Zhao Mei didn't say anything. She took a large bowl, took a little of each, and went back to the house with the two girls.
"Mom, what should we do?" Wang Minzhi closed the door of the main room and started sobbing.
Li Cuihua sighed: "Let's discuss Xiaolin's matter behind closed doors. The girl's innocence is the most important. However, I think there are two ways. Either the Zhang family boy and Xiaolin must get married as soon as possible, or they should stop seeing each other and quickly ask a matchmaker to find someone for Xiaolin to marry."
She was afraid that the truth would be exposed if time went on for too long. Moreover, the incident between Xiao Mei and the Ma family had lasted for a whole half month. Her old face was scratched and bloody, and she hadn't gone out to play cards for half a month. She didn't want it to happen again.
In the west room, Zhao Mei pulled Xiao Mei into the inner room and said earnestly, "Xiao Mei, I know you blamed your sister Xiao Lin for saying that to you, but this girl's reputation is greater than the sky. Even if you know about it, you have to consider whether you should say no."
Ye Xiaomei knew that her mother would say this: "I didn't expose her because she spread rumors about me. I just didn't want that family to bully me. You know that they keep calling me a bitch. Am I supposed to just listen?"
Ye Xiaomei spoke slowly while making the bed.
Zhao Mei's pupils suddenly shrank. She felt that she almost didn't recognize her daughter. In the past, she would not dare to say such words.
"You are right, but you know that your grandma favors their family. Aren't you afraid that she will treat us even more harshly in the future?"
