Chapter 428
After Rong Xianxian came, everyone's attention was on her. Zhong Mingli tried to talk to Chen Lishu several times, but was ignored. Seeing Chen Lishu standing behind Rong Xianxian with a protective attitude, Zhong Mingli couldn't help feeling sad. Seeing Rong Xianxian asking about Xia Tian's previous situation, she couldn't help but speak.
As soon as Zhong Mingli finished speaking, Zhong Minglou, Xia Kai and Shen Lishu almost simultaneously shouted at her to shut up.
"Brother, are you bullying me with these people?" Zhong Mingli shouted in grievance, and was heard by Zhong's mother who walked into the tent. "What happened to my daughter? Who bullied you?"
"Mom, I don't know where Brother Xia Kai found this doctor, but instead of treating the illness, he just asks questions all over the place. I just want to say that my brother also teamed up with outsiders to bully me." Seeing that Zhong's mother had come, Zhong Mingli felt more confident and immediately pulled Zhong's mother aside to complain.
"Hey, it's Xia Kai. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. After all, I'm your elder. Look, you're here, but you don't even come to say hello to me!" Zhong's mother said in a pretentious tone.
Xia Kai had just learned that his parents had died and his sister was also ill in bed. He felt sad and depressed. Mother Zhong's tone angered him, "Aunt Zhong, since you are here, I would like to ask you, how did my parents die?"
Xia Kai looked at the Zhong family gathered together, and thought about his own parents' bodies that had already fallen into the cold, and his heart was filled with anger.
"I haven't seen them, how would I know?" Mother Zhong blurted out without noticing Zhong Minglou's anxious look.
"Mom, we are not..." Zhong Mingli didn't quite understand why Mother Zhong said she had never met Xia's parents.
"Shut up." Mother Zhong had not yet realized that Zhong Mingli had already revealed that she had gone to the Xia family after the apocalypse, and she was afraid that her daughter would let the cat out of the bag.
"What is going on? What is your family hiding? Sister, you won't tell me the truth?" Xia Kai looked at the eye contact between Zhong's mother and Zhong Minglou, then looked at Xia Tian who had tears in her eyes, and said angrily.
"Xia Kai, your sister and I wanted to hide the news from you because we were afraid that you would feel sad after knowing the news of your parents' death. We didn't expect Mingli to tell it. In fact, life and death separations are quite common in this world. Now that you know about it, please accept my condolences." Zhong Minglou sighed and said!
"Sister, their whole family is alive and well, why are our parents the only ones dead? My parents have always had the habit of storing food at home. Our house is also very strong, so we can be rescued by the army. How did they die?" Xia Kai looked at Xia Tian and questioned. He now felt that Xia Tian was fooling him together with the Zhong family.
Xia Tian felt disappointed when she saw Xia Kai's attitude towards her. Thinking about what Zhong Minglou had said before, she had to admit that due to her parents' favoritism, there had always been a rift between them. After the Zhong family arrived at the Xia family, they ate up their parents' stored food. Zhong Minglou went out to find food and came back only cared about the Zhong family but did not share any with Xia's parents and her mother and daughter, forcing the two elders to go out to find food by themselves, which attracted monster attacks and led to their tragic deaths. She didn't know if Xia Kai would disown her as his sister after knowing these things.
"Uncle, grandma and grandpa were killed by this family. Mom's health became like this because they secretly gave her medicine. I heard it all. They boiled medicine for Mom just to kill her. Please take us away from here quickly." Zhong Yingying suddenly stood up and said when she saw Xia Tian looking embarrassed.
After hearing what Zhong Yingying said, Xia Tian subconsciously glanced at Zhong Minglou. Zhong Minglou's obviously evasive look made her realize that the drugging must be true. No wonder, no wonder he didn't even let her drink water before. Now that she was sick, he boiled medicine for her, and after she drank it, her health got worse. Before, she just thought that her illness was getting worse, and never thought that he would tamper with the medicine.
"You silly girl, what are you talking about? Your grandparents were bitten to death by a monster, what does that have to do with us? Your mother is sick, and we gave her medicine with good intentions, how can that be considered harming her? What gives you the right to say that? Do you have any evidence? Oh, that's right, what do kids know? You must have been taught by adults to say such things, Xia Tian, your parents went out for you. If they were killed, it was you who killed them. You should have gone out, but you were afraid to go, so they went. You watched them die, don't try to throw dirty water on us." Zhong's mother was sure that what Zhong Yingying said was instigated by Xia Tian, and immediately fought back.
With a "puff" sound, Xia Tian vomited a mouthful of blood in anger, "You, you guys..." He was unable to breathe and his face turned purple.
"Mom," Zhong Yingying cried.
"Sister, sister, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I don't blame you. If mom and dad really did this for you, they are willing to do it. They definitely hope that you are well. If what they said is not true, Zhong Minglou has let you down, I will definitely seek justice for you." Seeing that Xia Tian was in a bad condition, Xia Kai immediately stepped forward to squeeze Zhong Minglou aside, and said while supporting Xia Tian.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Xia Tian looked at this brother who had been unknown in the past and whom she had never paid much attention to. Leaning on him, Xia Tian felt at ease and at ease.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll take you away from here, okay?" Xia Kai looked at Xia Tian's pale face and became scared belatedly. He didn't expect his sister to be so seriously ill.
"Take Yingying with you." Xia Tian turned around and pulled Zhong Yingying's hand, only to see Zhong's mother quickly pull Zhong Yingying over.
"Yingying is our Zhong family's child. We will take good care of her ourselves." Mother Zhong snorted coldly and secretly twisted Zhong Yingying's arm. Zhong Yingying screamed in pain and tears fell instantly.
"Yingying," Xia Tian looked over worriedly. Zhong Yingying held back her tears and grinned, "Mom, I'm fine."
"The child was born by my sister, so of course she has to live with my sister. Let her go." Xia Kai said coldly to Zhong's mother. He roughly sorted out the causes and consequences of his parents' death. If the Zhong family had not come and eaten up all the Xia family's stored food, Xia's parents would not have needed to go out to find food, and they would not have died.
"Hmph, the child's surname is Zhong, and your sister is in poor health, so how can she take good care of the child? Of course, she has to follow her biological father. Don't think that you can bully others just because you are cultivators. There are people in the army who are in charge here." Mother Zhong acted like a scoundrel, and her loud voice could be heard from far away.
Zhong Yingying looked hatefully at her mother who was holding her arm tightly, "Uncle, please take Mom to get treatment first. Mom, I'm fine. Come back to see me when you get better." Zhong Yingying looked well-behaved in front of Xia Tian and Xia Kai.
