Li Qiao didn't bother to teach the kid a lesson for opening the door so suddenly, and pushed open the door panel that was blocking his view.
His sharp gaze pierced the small figure standing silently not far from the door.
Seeing that there were no other obvious flaws on her body except for some dust, he shifted his gaze and looked at the small room filled with junk.
On the left was a pile of broken baskets, rotten wicker backpacks, a bench with a broken leg, and a half-broken hoe handle...
A miscellany of broken things that are useless but would be a pity to burn.
It was covered with dust and it was obvious that no one had touched it for a long time.
After a quick glance, Li Qiao walked past it.
He took two steps at a time and went straight to the big bed in the corner. He kicked over several backpacks neatly placed beside the bed.
After estimating the strength he had exerted and making sure that there was nothing hidden in these backpacks, he turned around and lifted the thin mattress on the bed.
A beam of warm sunlight shone onto the small bed through the only small window in the room. As the bedding was lifted, large clouds of floating dust swirled and sparkled.
Shu Miao stood in the shadows with his head lowered, seemingly unaware of anything.
But only she herself knew how fast her heart was beating at this moment.
Her mind raced as she tried desperately to recall where she had revealed her flaw that had caused the "auntie" to make such a fuss.
After confirming again and again that there was nothing in the room that shouldn't be there, her tense mood gradually calmed down.
His eyes gradually became empty and unfocused, and soon returned to his usual lifeless appearance.
Li Qiao, who got nothing, reluctantly picked up the quilt thrown on the ground and stuffed it back into the cabinet.
She angrily closed the cabinet door, which was cleaner than her face except for the bedding.
Finally, he checked under the bed again without giving up, and confirmed that there was indeed no trace of food in the room. He was so angry and annoyed.
He glared at the silly girl sitting on the stool and turned away angrily.
"Bang!"
As the door was closed, Shu Miao, who had been staring blankly, blinked and came back to his senses in an instant.
Those dark eyes seemed to be infused with soul in an instant, glowing with some lively colors.
Just as she was about to get up and lock the door, still feeling apprehensive, the door was forcefully pushed open again.
"Bang!"
Shu Miao was so frightened by this sudden incident that her eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
But as she quickly looked away, her whole body quickly fell into a lifeless state again.
Xu Qiao, who was standing in front of the door, pursed her lips tightly, looking down at the girl in front of her who obviously had a serious mental problem, with a complicated look in her eyes.
Although she didn't like, or even hated the child in front of her, she also understood that what happened back then could not be blamed on her unborn child.
But people always tend to find excuses for their sufferings. Otherwise, they would be heartbroken...
She, Li Qiao, is no exception...
To be honest, she really didn't want to take care of this burden who only had a mouth to feed, but unfortunately all the capable people in the Shu family were dead.
Since she doesn't plan to remarry, I can only support her with a pinch of my nose.
On the one hand, there is pressure from public opinion, and on the other hand, she is worried that her sons will have opinions about her when they grow up.
Who made it so that the Shu family only had four of them?
It’s all fate!
Since the child is nominally under the care of her, the aunt, although she does not expect her to give anything in return in the future, at least nothing serious can happen under her nose!
When she thought of the experiences of that silly woman in her natal village, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
He didn't care about any prejudice, rushed into the house and started pulling at her collar, trying to see if there was anything wrong.
"Tell me the truth, who gave you the food?" Thinking of a possibility, as a woman herself, her heart trembled slightly, but her eyes were fierce.
The moment Shu Miao's collar was pulled, his lifeless eyes moved slightly, and his hands reflexively grabbed the collar tightly in silent protest.
But at the same time, she was also keenly aware of the worry in the "auntie's" words.
She was very surprised by this, but also a little confused.
Li Qiao was caught off guard and lost the initiative. She was stunned for a moment, but at the same time she felt a little relieved.
It was just a matter of face, so he frowned, slapped her on the back without any hesitation, and scolded her harshly.
"Hey! You're really strong, kid!"
"Why don't you just open your mouth and shout? It's rare to find someone as stupid as you. It's really infuriating!" Li Qiao said this in a vague way, and it was not known whether she understood it or not.
Shu Miao felt the pain in his back and continued to remain silent, only twisting his body slightly.
Li Qiao noticed her little movement and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Qiao still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he met those dark eyes.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, tried to keep a straight face, and threatened fiercely,
"From today on, you will eat the same as Zili. You are not allowed to eat food given by outsiders. Do you hear me!!!"
Shu Miao's eyes moved, but he didn't say anything, just staring at her.
"Did you hear that!!!" Li Qiao's voice suddenly raised, his eyes filled with anger and a little helplessness.
In fact, long after her father-in-law left, she vaguely discovered that this silly kid seemed to be smarter than before.
Look, the fact that she even knew to pull at my collar to prevent me from taking it off further proved my guess.
