Chapter 42: Contrasting Family 2
Chapter 2
"I said! I'm back!"
Chen Hongxi was so frightened that her cigarette butt fell to the ground. She quickly shouted into the room, "Qin Yao, come out quickly! Your daughter has gone crazy!"
Chen Lei, wearing only shorts, ran out, puzzled. "What's that noise? Is there an earthquake?"
Qin Yao walked out of the room, looked around carelessly, and was so scared that she almost sat on the ground, "Shen Xue, are you crazy!"
Qi Qi smiled calmly, "Now, I'm hungry. Mom, cook for me!"
Qin Yao groaned, "You...gas...gas tank?"
Qi Qi glanced outside and said, "Go buy some!"
Qin Yao nodded quickly, "I'll go...I'll go!"
Qi Qi looked at Shen Hongxi and said, "Dad, my stuff is outside, bring it in!"
Shen Hongxi hurried to the door and was about to run when she heard Shen Lei's timid voice: "Sister...sister...where is I?"
Qi Qi sneered and pointed at the smoking spot on the sofa. It was the cigarette butt that Shen Hongxi had not put out just now. "You are a hostage. If they don't come back, I will kill us both!"
Qin Yao had already walked to the door and was about to click 110 on her cell phone. When she heard Qi Qi's words, she was so scared that her hands trembled and she dropped the phone to the ground with a click.
She hurriedly picked up the phone, turned around and walked in, carefully sticking to the wall, "I...girl, I forgot to bring money!"
She walked carefully into the room, took the cash, and ran out quickly.
Shen Hongxi didn't dare to make any unnecessary movements. He picked up the bicycle, then took the things down and put them in Qi Qi's room.
"Daughter, I've got it done."
Qi Qi: "Yeah."
"Then do I need to do anything else?"
"Go sit on the sofa and wait for dinner."
Shen Hongxi and Shen Lei sat obediently on the sofa and waited for a while before Qin Yao finally came back from running errands.
Placing the purchased dishes on the table, Qin Yao said flatteringly, "Daughter, come and eat."
Qi Qi walked over, carrying only a hammer and leaving the gas tank untouched.
Shen Lei and Shen Hongxi looked at each other, raised their chins, pointed in the direction of Qi Qi, and suddenly, they both jumped up.
Bang!
Qi Qi smashed a hole in the marble-like coffee table with a hammer, and the outer marble-like layer shattered, revealing the messy stone powder inside.
"What's wrong?" Qi Qi raised his head and asked.
Shen Lei and Shen Hongxi smiled and twisted their waists. "Um... a little tired, move a little, haha, move a little."
After Qin Yao set the table, Qi Qi put the hammer aside, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Chen Lei stretched his arms and reached out quietly towards Qi Qi. His hand happened to touch the hammer. Just as he was grinning happily, his fingers were pinched by a pair of chopsticks.
"Ouch! Sister! Sister, sister! Let go, it hurts!"
Qi Qi glanced at Chen Lei's finger with indifference, "Oh, I saw it wrong, I'm sorry, brother!"
Shen Lei's smile was uglier than crying.
Shen Hongxi cursed him as a useless thing.
He also quietly reached out, with his fingers resting on the table, and seemingly passed by the hammer inadvertently.
How painful can it be to have your hand pinched by chopsticks?
He looked at Chen Lei with disdain.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain.
It felt like his fingers were cut off, and he finally understood what it meant that the heart is connected to all ten fingers.
He cried out in a wail, "Loose, loose, loose..."
Qi Qi looked at Shen Hongxi suspiciously, "Dad, did you accidentally touch the wrong place?"
Shen Hongxi nodded quickly, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
"That's great, Dad. Can I discuss something with you?" Qi Qi's hands kept moving.
Shen Hongxi still nodded, "Tell me, tell me..."
"Would you mind stopping gambling?"
Shen Hongxi: "Well, yes, yes, yes..."
He was like a tape recorder that could only read one word, repeating these words over and over quickly.
"If you don't keep your promise, I'll cut off one of your fingers, okay?"
Shen Hongxi: "Okay, okay..."
Qi Qi let go of her chopsticks and smiled contentedly. She glanced around with a smile and saw through Shen Hongxi's hypocrisy and Shen Lei and Qin Yao's insincere flattery.
But she acted like she didn't know.
The house has been very quiet these days since Qi Qi came back.
Chen Lei has graduated from high school and has been unemployed. He plays games all day and has started an online romance with an internet friend.
Qin Yao held her cell phone and kissed her lover affectionately.
Shen Hongxi was ordered not to gamble, but he was itching to gamble. Finally, in the middle of the night one day, he secretly took out the money from the drawer and ran away.
His good friend called him several times, but he didn't go out.
He has been feeling so depressed at home these days that he doesn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Now that he finally found the opportunity, he didn't play big, just bets of one or two hundred.
He walked out of the door carefully, but he didn't know that not long after he left, Qi Qi stood up and knocked on the door of Shen Lei and Qin Yao.
Qi Qi said, "Dad seems to be gambling. Let's go and see."
Qin Yao didn't want to get involved in these things. She and Shen Hongxi had no feelings for each other a long time ago. Now she only liked her beloved brother and didn't care what Shen Hongxi was going to do.
Shen Lei didn't care, "Dad doesn't play big anyway, it's just a small amount of money, it's not like we don't have any at home!"
Qi Qi's hammer was wielded with such force by her, "I don't think I heard what you said just now clearly!"
Shen Lei said, "Dad's behavior is really too much. He clearly promised us that he would never gamble again. How could he do such a treacherous thing? Even I, a high school student, look down on him!"
Qin Yao looked at Qi Qi tremblingly, "Should we call the police?"
Qi Qi laughed out loud, "Calling the police is pointless. How about we chop off Dad's fingers together?"
"Crazy, she must be crazy!" Shen Lei hugged Qin Yao tremblingly, "Mom, what should I do, my sister is crazy!"
Qin Yao wanted to cry but had no tears. She pushed Shen Lei away tremblingly and asked in fear and trepidation, "Girl, you are not kidding, are you?"
Qi Qi suddenly returned to normal, smiling brightly, "Of course I was just trying to scare you. After all, he's my father. How could I possibly chop off his hand?"
"Brother, hold Dad down, and Mom, use the scissors. Yes, those sharp scissors we just bought. It's very easy. Just a click and you can cut off Dad's little finger!"
Qi Qi held a hammer in his hand, and the only sound in the noisy room was the stench of tobacco and Shen Hongxi's wailing.
Qi Qi smashed the table as soon as she came in. Those who wanted to stop her were frightened by her ferocity and ran away quickly.
Only Shen Hongxi didn't have time to run away.
He can't escape either.
Qi Qi took the stool and threw it onto the table. He put one foot on the edge of the table and climbed onto the table directly.
She looked down at the trembling family of three and said, "Brother, Mom, if you don't do it, I'm going to chop off... your fingers!"
Shen Lei felt that his sister must have been possessed by an evil spirit.
How could the little sister who used to be so cute and gentle become like this, and even ask him and mom to cut off dad's fingers?
Shen Lei was unwilling, but didn't dare to say no.
He looked at Qi Qi's cold eyes, and the thuds of the hammer hitting the table seemed to hit his heart.
Chen Lei looked at his mother for help. Qin Yao was not much better than him. Her legs were shaking, her cheeks were quivering, and she walked cautiously to the side of Shen Hongxi with the scissors in her hand.
"You bitch, are you crazy?" Shen Hongxi was held down by Shen Lei at this time.
Although the son said he didn't dare, he didn't relax at all. He pressed him on the table with such great force that he couldn't move. Even though he kept curling his fingers, he still poked his skin.
Qin Yao had already burst into tears. Her sobbing was like a ghost in the middle of the night. "I don't want to do it either. Who asked you to gamble? Didn't she forbid you to gamble? What can I do?"
After all, isn't Shen Hongxi also afraid of Qi Qi? Why is she losing her temper at her?
"Hurry!" The devilish urging made Qin Yao dare not think any further. When Shen Hongxi's fingers passed through the middle of the scissors, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and pinched the scissors.
"Ah--" The shrill screams spread for several miles, and the police car couldn't help but speed up. When they arrived at the casino, Shen Hongxi had been released by Shen Lei, covering his fingers and cursing.
The police looked around and saw a pretty female student in school uniform standing aside with a frightened expression.
The young man and a woman covered in blood stood aside.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me!" Qin Yao waved her hands and pointed at Qi Qi, saying, "She made me cut off his finger. I didn't want to!"
The police observed that Qi Qi was clean, while Chen Lei and Qin Yao were covered in blood.
The police frowned, "What is your relationship?"
While Qin Yao and Shen Lei were answering questions, the ambulance arrived at the door. The paramedics quickly entered the room, helped Shen Hongxi into the ambulance, and placed the severed finger in an ice bucket for preservation.
Qi Qi followed carefully behind and got into the ambulance.
Shen Lei pointed at Qi Qi and was about to shout when he was glared at by the police.
The police pointed at Qin Yao and said, "I've seen many families like yours that favor boys over girls, but I really can't stand the fact that you cut off Shen Hongxi's fingers and then framed your daughter. After all, Shen Xue is your daughter, your sister. Do you feel guilty for doing this?"
There was no surveillance around, not even any bystanders.
The police could ask those gamblers to testify, but at most they could only prove that Qi Qi was very angry about his father's gambling.
And the people who cut off Shen Hongxi's fingers were indeed Shen Lei and Qin Yao.
These two people have no way to defend themselves.
Fortunately, after Shen Hongxi regained consciousness the next day, he was persuaded not to pursue the lawsuit, and Qi Qi personally went to the police station to pick up the two of them.
Seeing how sensible she was, the police officer was also a little worried. "If you encounter any problems in the future, feel free to come to me. You can't pour out your heart to your mother and your brother. They have framed you like this!"
Qi Qi nodded carefully. She looked well-behaved and pitiful, almost crying but unable to cry, which made the police feel soft-hearted.
Qin Yao and Shen Lei heard it clearly from the side and were given the cold shoulder by the police from time to time.
Only Qi Qi cared about them, "Mom, brother, actually the police officer thought it was wrong. Don't worry, I believe you didn't do it voluntarily."
