“You’re lying!” Zhang Cuihua immediately criticized Lu Siyuan.
She not only accused people of lying without any evidence, but also tried to intimidate children.
“Only bad kids lie. Children who lie will be taken away and eaten by evil spirits, leaving not even bones behind!” Zhang Cuihua said viciously.
"I didn't lie..." Lu Siyuan felt wronged and scared. He took a step back, grabbed Qiao Xinruo's clothes, and kept explaining, "I didn't lie! Auntie, I really didn't lie!"
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyuan!" Qiao Xinruo comforted the child first.
As for whether Lu Siyuan lied or not, the military wives present that day knew the truth very well, so Qiao Xinruo didn't even need to explain, nor did she intend to.
She stared intently at Zhang Cuihua, giving her a taste of her own medicine.
"Let's not even talk about whether Xiao Yuan lied or not, but if an adult lies, they'll be poor for life! Do you dare say you didn't lie?!" Qiao Xinruo retorted.
Zhang Cuihua was instantly enraged!
She never imagined that Qiao Xinruo would be so vicious as to curse her to be poor for life!
"You little rascal, your mouth is so filthy! Who are you saying will be poor their whole life? Who are you saying will be poor their whole life?!" Zhang Cuihua exploded.
She can't stand hearing such things.
She had lived a life of poverty in the countryside, and now that her son had finally become successful and the family had prospered, she couldn't bear to hear a single word of such talk, for fear of bringing bad luck upon herself!
Now that Qiao Xinruo has cursed her, hitting her sore spot, she wants nothing more than to rush over and tear Qiao Xinruo apart.
"You're the one who's cheap, you old bastard with no manners! You really think I wouldn't dare to curse you? I was just trying to keep my mouth clean. Fine, if you want to curse, then let's see who's better at it!"
"You'll be poor your whole life! You didn't lie, so what are you afraid of? This is called a guilty conscience. Do you think you're right just because you're loud? Don't treat everyone else like fools!"
Qiao Xinruo took the initiative without hesitation.
If Zhang Cuihua had slunk away earlier, this matter would have been over. But not only did she not leave, she continued to slander Su Yueya and threaten Lu Siyuan. Qiao Xinruo will not tolerate this anymore.
Qiao Xinruo should treat today as a day of charity, and teach this old man a lesson on how to behave!
Zhang Cuihua was also a woman of strong character, and the two of them immediately started arguing.
“Your family will be poor for life! You immoral thing, you don’t know anything about respecting the elderly and caring for the young. I think your family has no manners!” Zhang Cuihua shouted.
"It's hilarious! Your son is the most ill-mannered person, and your grandson is even more like his father, inheriting all the bad genes from his parents. I never expected him to be so picky at such a young age. He picks whatever is not good enough. Your family is a perfect match!"
"I'm going to beat you to death, you greenhorn!"
"Hey, what a joke! Who do you think you're going to hit? Come on, if you dare lay a finger on me today, I'll send you to the police station! If you dare hit me, I'll write a complaint against your son! Against your daughter-in-law! Against your in-laws! Let's see if they'll force you to apologize to me then!"
"Hey everyone, come and see! Come and judge this! Listen to what she's saying! Is she even speaking human language?"
"Isn't what I'm saying human language? Then how did you understand it? Aren't you human?" Qiao Xinruo retorted.
Zhang Cuihua originally wanted the military wives to stand on her side, but she was not a good person, and the military wives were not blind or deaf; no one paid any attention to her.
On the contrary, Qiao Xinruo's words made many of the military wives burst into laughter.
This is terrible!
Zhang Cuihua was about to make a scene again. She slapped her thigh and started wailing and crying.
"Young people these days are really wicked. They're ganging up on the elderly. Does that mean old people deserve to be bullied? It's not fair, it's not fair!"
"Ha, an old man? What old man is as strong as you? You look to me in my prime, very young!" Qiao Xinruo sneered.
The argument was raging on one side, but Liu Shengrui acted as if nothing was wrong, completely unconcerned about what his grandmother was doing, his mind only on the cat and Lu Si'an.
He realized that everyone's attention was not on him, and his mind immediately started to wander. He picked up his little cat and took a detour to find Lu Si'an.
"Exchange." Liu Shengrui reappeared.
“My little Mimi, here you go; your cat, give it to me,” Liu Shengrui said, his eyes fixed on the milk in Lu Si’an’s arms.
Lu Si'an looked at the kitten in Liu Shengrui's arms.
It looks familiar!
She remembered that when she bought milk by the roadside before, there were many kittens there. She picked out the milk at a glance and vaguely remembered that there was a kitten next to it that looked very much like the kitten that Liu Shengrui was holding now.
Liu Shengrui bought Xiaomi.
Strangely, the kittens that were sold by the roadside were all the same size.
Moreover, each cat looks very energetic and lively.
But the kitten that Liu Shengrui was holding looked listless and thin, not at all like a kitten the size of a milk carton.
The cat's eyes are so beautiful, it looks like a proud princess.
For example, milk has bright, sparkling eyes, like two beautiful gems.
But Xiaomi's eyes are different. They are beautiful, of course, but the look in her eyes... seems wrong, like she's very scared.
How could this happen?
Lu Si'an did dislike Liu Shengrui and didn't really want to play with him, nor did she want to exchange milk for Xiaomi. However, she didn't dislike Xiaomi. In fact, she felt a little sorry for Xiaomi because of its frightened eyes. She subconsciously reached out and touched Xiaomi.
"Is your name Xiaomi?" Lu Si'an asked gently.
Her hand had just touched Xiaomi's fur when the kitten was terrified. It curled up into a ball, meowing and trembling.
"How could this be?" Lu Si'an was stunned, looking at Xiaomi in disbelief, then at her brother, and asked, "Is it... is it scared? Is it scared of me?"
That's incredible!
Cats are very proud creatures. When other children touch Milk, if Milk likes the other child, it will whine and purr affectionately. If Milk doesn't like the other child, it will pretend to be fierce, baring its teeth and bluffing.
However, Xiaomi's reaction was fear and apprehension, and Lu Si'an didn't do anything to it, just touched it very lightly.
How can this scare Xiaomi?
“It seems so,” Lu Siyuan said, frowning as he observed Xiaomi after hearing his sister’s words. “It seems very scared…”
"Hmm!" Lu Si'an nodded, and was about to say something when Liu Shengrui next to her moved.
