Qin Nian took a few quick steps and arrived at the gate of his "own" yard.
Across the low courtyard wall, the first person who came into view was the original person's grandmother, or you could say her grandmother.
The old lady was very thin, her shriveled body looked like a snake's shed skin. She was leaning on a wooden stick in her hand, and it seemed that she was not as thick or strong as the stick.
Opposite her stood two middle-aged people, a man and a woman. They were also very thin, unkempt, and dressed in tattered clothes. They looked like low-ranking members of the Beggars' Gang.
My grandmother's family and her husband's family both have the surname Li. Everyone in the village, young or old, male or female, is used to calling her Mrs. Li, and she is very happy to be called that.
Mrs. Li's eyes were blazing with anger as she looked at the man and woman opposite her and cursed:
"You two beasts, get out of here right now! Don't think I can't do anything to you just because I'm old.
If you piss me off, I'll give you a beating with a stick, and it's not impossible that you two beasts will be beaten until your heads are broken and bloody."
After cursing, he tried to swing the stick to hit the person.
But without the support of the wooden stick, her body swayed, and she quickly put down the wooden stick that was three inches off the ground, and she was able to barely stand and not fall.
The middle-aged woman curled her lips:
"Mom, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're about to starve to death, and you still don't let Xiao Nian go home?
If you ask me, you only care about yourself, leaving Xiao Nian here to dig wild vegetables for you, and you eat the ready-made ones, but you don't care about her life or death."
Mrs. Li was so angry that she spat at her:
"Sixteen years ago, when you gave birth to Xiao Nian, you immediately asked your man to throw her into the woods behind the village to feed the wolves because she was a girl.
When I heard the news, I went to bring Xiao Nian back home, and she was saved.
Now, you dare to say that I don't care about Xiao Nian's life or death?"
The middle-aged man took over the conversation:
"Mom, don't hold on any longer, you really can't do it anymore. If you take off your shoes and socks tonight, you won't be able to put them on tomorrow morning.
Let Xiao Nian go back with us. When you die, I will ask her to come and collect your body.
Otherwise, when you die, I will throw you into the woods behind the village to feed the wolves."
After a pause, he continued:
"Xiao Nian must come back with me today. I am her father and she must listen to me."
Grandma was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and the stick was shaking with it:
"You beasts, don't think I don't know what you are planning. It's a famine year and every family has nothing to eat.
Everything that was worth a bit of money was sold out, and you had nothing to sell, so you thought of Xiao Nian.
You came to take her back, but you wanted to sell her? You want to get some money so you can buy food.
As long as I am alive, no one will dare to have any evil intentions towards me.
Even if I die, Xiao Nian will not listen to you, so stop plotting against her and get out of here."
Mrs. Li had a hot temper. If she hadn't been so hungry that she had no strength left, she would have rushed over and hit someone.
Qin Nian has all the memories of her original body. She knows these two people. They are her original body’s biological father Qin Rongsheng and biological mother Li Dahua.
Sixteen years ago, when the original body was born, Qin Rongsheng and Li Dahua saw that it was a girl. The couple, together with the mother-in-law, decided to throw the original body into the woods at the foot of the mountain behind the village.
There were wolves in that woods, and many families who gave birth to unwanted girls secretly threw their children into the woods to feed the wolves.
When Mrs. Li heard the news, she hurried to the woods to bring back the original body and kept it by her side.
In the past sixteen years, the original body's parents came a few times, but they came for business, not to see the original body.
He never brought her food or clothes, nor greeted her, as if he didn't know her.
Now they want to take her back and sell her in exchange for some food so that the family can survive. This is a very smart plan.
Qin Nian walked into the yard with a sneer, came to Mrs. Li, and handed the small basket in his hand to her.
"Grandma, I dug up a bunch of dandelions. Go wash them and eat a few to fill your stomach."
A smile slowly broke out on grandma's thin face. It had been several days since she finally dug up some wild vegetables. It wasn't easy.
Then, the smile on her face disappeared, and she became alert:
"Xiao Nian, these two beasts are here to pick you up. They want to sell you. Don't be fooled by them. You can't go back with them."
Qin Nian was afraid that she would starve to death, so he kept urging her: "You won't be fooled. Go eat some wild vegetables."
Grandma was really hungry, so she slowly turned around, leaned on a wooden stick, and staggered into the house to wash the dandelions.
Qin Nian looked coldly at the man and woman opposite him and said coldly:
"Leave quickly before I lose my temper. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."
After saying this, he turned around, picked up a wooden shovel standing by the windowsill, and glared at the two people opposite him.
Li Dahua stepped forward with a smile on her face: "Xiao Nian, your mother and father are here to take you home.
Your eldest brother and two younger brothers also want you to go back. If your grandmother hadn't interfered and kept you here to keep her company, our family would have been reunited long ago.
Now your grandmother is old and can't take care of you, so don't suffer here anymore and go back with your mother."
Qin Nian narrowed his eyes slightly: "My grandma is too old to take care of me, so I should stay and take care of her.
"I want to go back with you. Who are you to me? Why should I go back with you?"
Qin Rongsheng shouted angrily: "Xiao Nian, how can you talk to your mother like that? It's your grandmother who taught you bad things.
If I had known this, I should have kept you with your parents instead of letting you stay here with your grandmother."
Qin Nian sneered: "What did you say? Did you let me stay here? Don't lie, I know the truth.
Without my grandmother, I would have been eaten by the wolf. By the way, you threw it yourself, right?
Now you are standing here, calling yourself my dad, you really don't know how to be ashamed."
Being exposed in front of his face, Qin Rongsheng was furious: "There are no parents who are not wrong in the world. Even if I threw you away sixteen years ago, I am still your father.
No one can change this fact.
You must come back with me today."
"Since there are no parents who are not right, what rights do you two have to blame my grandmother? Isn't she your mother?"
Qin Rongsheng couldn't argue with Qin Nian, his face flushed, and he took over and stretched out his hand to grab Qin Nian: "You stupid girl, are you going to rebel?"
Qin Nian took two steps back, swung the wooden stick in his hand, and hit Qin Rongsheng on the head.
With a "click", it hit my right ear.
Qin Rongsheng was slapped and took several steps back. He covered his buzzing right ear with his hand, with a look of disbelief on his face.
This wooden sledge was made of oak, which is hard. If the original owner was not too thin and weak, this blow would have at least broken Qin Rongsheng's head and made him bleed.
Li Dahua was shocked: "You dare to hit your father?"
"Why not?"
Qin Nian pointed at Li Dahua with the oak in his hand and said, "I'll say it again, Qin Rongsheng is not my father, and you are not my mother.
Get out of here right now. If you dare to show off again, I will beat you both up."
"well played."
Mrs. Li came out, chewing a strand of dandelion in her mouth, leaning on a stick, with a smug smile on her face:
"When it's time to strike, strike. Beat the beast until it's all over the ground.
"Xiao Nian, grandma didn't raise you in vain. At the critical moment, you have grandma's ruthlessness."
After saying that, he walked to Qin Nian, rolled up a few freshly washed dandelions, and stuffed them into Qin Nian's mouth.
"You should eat something quickly so that you can have the strength to fuck them both."
After hearing this, Qin Nian almost laughed out loud. This original grandmother was really different. Living with her would make life more lively.
Qin Rongsheng and Li Dahua looked at each other. They were indeed a couple, as they had the same idea in their minds. Qin Nian was sixteen years old and her grandmother was fifty-six years old.
Both the grandfather and the grandson were as thin as ghosts. Although they were thin, they were in their prime. How could they be defeated by the old and the young?
As long as we drag Qin Nian back, we will have money in our hands tomorrow.
Qin Rongsheng touched his right ear, which was buzzing from being slapped, and ordered Li Dahua, "Let's go together and take down these two tigresses."
After saying that, he rushed towards Qin Nian.
