Chapter 230 Cautious
When Cai Shufen heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't even speak. Her chest was heaving violently and her face was pale. She pointed at Cheng Yingzi with rage, her fingers still trembling, and she could only utter one word angrily: "You!"
Then, she demanded, gritting her teeth, "Why don't you just do it yourself, and assign them to do it? They're children, how can they handle such heavy and tiring work? They're so young, how can they even know how to clean and tidy up? Do you think of them as servants?"
Cheng Yingzi's face darkened when she heard her words. She sneered, a flash of anger in her eyes, and she retorted in a cold tone: "Because I... go to work for your uncle! I do it when someone tells me to. Why should I care about your mood?"
She was so angry that she pushed Cai Shufen hard.
Cai Shufen had never expected that she would be attacked, and was completely unprepared. She staggered back a few steps and hit the bedside table with a "bang". There was a dull "dong" sound, and her eyes immediately started bleeding. The blood flowed down her cheeks, and she looked horrifying.
The sudden violence left the two children panicked.
Cheng Huihui and Cheng Pengnan were so frightened that they screamed and shouted "Mom!"
He rushed to Cai Shufen in panic.
Cheng Weiping flew into a rage when he heard the noise. He slammed his hand on the table, shaking the teacup so much that it bounced. He roared, "Is this outrageous? How dare anyone treat my wife like this?"
But Cheng Yingzi turned a deaf ear to his words and didn't even look at him.
She had completely ignored his existence.
This brother-in-law likes to act arrogantly and pretentiously like an elder. He talks about great principles, but in fact he is just a coward and incompetent person.
He never dared to speak loudly to Cai Shufen. Whenever something happened at home, it was not him who was wronged, but Cheng Yingzi who always gritted her teeth and endured it, swallowing one breath after another.
Since he never truly regarded her as an elder or a relative, what was the meaning of his hypocritical so-called "elder's authority"?
He doesn't dare to take real responsibility, is unwilling to take responsibility, and can only verbally blame others. How can such a person deserve her respect and tolerance?
She snorted coldly, shook her hair in disdain, turned around fiercely, gritted her teeth and rushed out the door. She slammed the door hard, and a huge "bang" sound shook the whole room and lingered for a long time.
Cai Shufen's grief-stricken cries and screams could be heard from inside the house: "What sin have I committed? Why is my life so miserable?"
"I worked so hard to raise my uncle's daughter, providing her with good food and drink, a comfortable place to live, and even registered her as a resident. I treated her so well...but not only does she not repay my gratitude, she even curses and beats me! What's the logic behind this!"
"How could the world be like this? Why do good people end up like this? I wholeheartedly do good, but I get bullied by evil people. Is my conscience gone?"
"How could something like this happen to me! Wuwuwu... I don't want to live anymore! Really... I don't want to live anymore!"
Cheng Yingzi stood outside the door coldly, like an angry and stubborn actor, imitating Cai Shufen's cries, her voice drawn out and repeated in a comical tone: "I don't want to live anymore! Good deeds don't get good rewards! Good people are ignored, while bad people are lucky! ... Haha, just pretending to be pitiful, huh?"
Then she turned around, silently suppressed the emotions in her eyes, and walked downstairs.
Her uncle, her younger uncle, the woman called aunt, and the people in their family were simply disgusting.
On weekdays, she almost became the natural free labor force in their family.
In this family, she not only has to take care of daily chores, but is also often used as a vent for her emotions.
She would never just accept such a role.
I remember that every time Cai Shufen scolded me, she would secretly put some "special" seasonings into the pot while cooking. Although no one would tell her what those things were, just thinking about it made me feel sick.
She secretly swore to herself that she would take revenge for all the unpleasant things that had happened to her. If they made her feel uncomfortable for even a minute, she would make their whole family live in unrest, and she would do it secretly to make trouble so that they would not be able to complain.
It's not without reason that she lives in this old house.
This house was originally an inheritance left by my grandparents.
Although her uncle's family did pay a so-called compensation, saying that they bought part of the property rights.
So what?
Since the house left by her grandparents was divided among her parents, she was naturally qualified to move in.
As for whose name is on the property certificate, she doesn't care at all.
As for the current disagreement between her and Cheng Weiping, it all comes down to the fact that they were the ones who caused trouble for her first, so she had to retaliate and give them a taste of their own medicine.
All in all, she is by no means an unforgivable evil person!
The ones who really deserve to be cursed and are unforgivable are her uncle's family!
There are also Cheng Huihui and Cheng Pengnan - these so-called cousins are really annoying.
Why is it that Huihui, also a girl in the family, can do no chores and ignore all worries; while Pengnan is always responsive, giving whatever people ask for, and pretending to be innocent as if "I have done nothing".
Forget it, she won’t buy it!
She dared to say that neither of those two was truly pure!
She also wanted to live a life where food was served and clothes were provided for her!
Because Cai Shufen and Cheng Weiping, these two adults, have never learned what it means to treat their children fairly.
She must have everything that Cheng Huihui and Cheng Pengnan can get - those privileges, pampering, and treatment.
And the origin of all these contradictions, in the final analysis, is only one thing - her uncle and aunt are too partial to each other!
Cheng Yingzi tightly grasped the pages of printed paper and a clean plastic bottle in her hands. Although these things looked insignificant, they were like a time bomb, slightly hot in her palms.
She walked through the outskirts of the city and came to an abandoned factory.
This was once the core of an industrial area, but now only empty factories and crumbling exterior walls remain.
She found an old cardboard box half-hidden in the dust in a corner, put the evidence in it, and covered it with some rags to make sure it looked normal.
She doesn't trust anyone now, and even begins to doubt herself.
This collapse of trust is like a high wall being corroded bit by bit, and finally collapsing without any warning.
Therefore, these critical items should never be left in the safekeeping of just anyone.
Once she had that done, she had other things to do.
She had to go back to the place where she was last night - the so-called "scene of the incident".
I heard that many murderers can't help but go back to the scene to take a look after committing the crime.
This is a complex and contradictory psychology - fear and desire, wanting to completely forget but also vaguely looking forward to reliving that period of tension and fear.
In the past, she never quite understood this behavior, thinking it was a plot added to film and television dramas to highlight the characters.
But now, she seemed to understand that feeling a little.
She went back not for reminiscing or nostalgia, but for a more practical task - to find the iron can of gasoline.
She wanted to confirm whether this object that shouldn't exist had completely disappeared from the world.
If it still remained in that pile of garbage, she would have to use her brain to find a way to completely dispose of this physical evidence that might lead to the truth, as if it had never existed.
Her every move was watched closely by one person.
This man was called Cao Yangfei, and he followed carefully from a distance.
He kept hiding in the shadows, not disturbing her, nor doing anything rash.
Cheng Yingzi walked along the street for a long time and finally stopped near Liulin Road, where a pile of messy discarded items was piled up in a corner.
She went to that garbage pile specifically, looked around, and then squatted down to start searching.
She moved cautiously, glancing around before touching anything.
After searching for a long time, to her surprise, the gas tank was still there!
