Chapter 423 What? Stepmother is not mother?
"Woo woo, stepmother, please stop hitting me!" Jia Lianhua dodged around in embarrassment with red eyes, but she could not escape Liu's iron sand palm.
"Go back and continue working. If you don't finish, I'll show you how I'll deal with you. Let's go!" Liu roared with a face full of fat behind Jia Lianhua!
Jia Lianhua lowered her head and nodded awkwardly, "Well, I'll go back!"
Seeing Jia Lianhua obey, Liu's mood improved a little. She glared at everyone:
"This bitch is not cut out to be an embroiderer. She's only fit to do rough and heavy labor in her life, so don't waste your time on her. It's not worth it."
snort!
If this little bitch becomes an embroiderer, who will do all the housework?
Her?
Don’t even think about it!
Jia Lianhua suddenly looked up, her face full of panic, "Mom, I want to learn embroidery, you can't stop me!"
"Just you?" Liu said with a mocking look:
"Don't you even look at who you are?
Look at your fingers, they are as thick as carrots. If you are learning embroidery, don't ruin other people's fabrics!"
After saying that, he reached out to pinch the tender flesh on Jia Lianhua's waist and said, "Bitch, what are you learning? Get back to work, do you hear me?"
"Wow, Mom, stop pinching me, it hurts!" Jia Lianhua cried in pain and twisted her body in agony.
Because of this, she wanted to learn embroidery even more.
She wanted to escape.
She never wanted to live this kind of life again.
Xu Xianyu couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to stop them, "Enough!
Are you trying to strangle her?
Stop it, you hear me!
"Where did this nosy little bitch come from?" Liu shook off Xu Xianyu's hand and sneered.
"Get out of here, you hear me, little bitch, don't meddle in everything, or you'll get beaten! It's none of your business to meddle in my business, Lao Jia."
Liu's words made all the girls gasp.
Liu actually scolded the eldest daughter of the Xu family. How dare she!
Xu Xianyu was not angry either, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:
"Excuse me, this is my territory. Where do you want me to go?"
Liu frowned when she heard this, and when she looked up, a hint of flattery appeared on her face:
"So it's Miss Xu. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you. I didn't know it was you. I'm just a bitch and can't talk. Please don't be angry."
As he spoke, he reached out and slapped his mouth lightly, "It's all my fault for being so mean. I offended you, I deserve a beating."
Seeing Liu's flattering look, everyone felt divided. Was this the lawless Liu they knew?
The Liu they knew was a fierce woman who dared to chase the village chief with a wooden stick to beat him up. Could the one in front of them be possessed by a ghost?
Jia Lianhua widened her eyes even more, with disbelief written all over her eyes. Is this her arrogant and domineering stepmother?
Even in front of her father, her stepmother was so arrogant, but now she was actually being humble in front of Miss Xu!
Jia Lianhua had a strange feeling in her heart.
Xu Xianyu looked at Liu who was nodding and bowing to her, and she immediately hid the disgust in her eyes.
"Okay, I'm not angry." Xu Xianyu said directly with a serious face:
"Jia Lianhua wants to learn embroidery, and I've taken a liking to her and want her to stay here and learn embroidery."
It's useless to be tactful with such people. It's just a waste of time. It's better to be direct and straightforward.
Liu's face froze, and soon a hint of reluctance appeared on her face:
"No, she's the only one doing the housework. If she comes to embroider, who will do the housework?
"Sister Xu, I'm not trying to disparage her, but I'm telling you, this little bitch is really not suitable for learning embroidery. Look at her hands, they're as thick as a carrot. How can she hold a thin embroidery needle?"
Because of her words, Jia Lianhua was so ashamed that she put her hands behind her back, not wanting anyone to see them.
Her hands were indeed the thickest of all the girls in the village, because she had endless work to do every day and didn't even have a chance to breathe.
Working day and night, how can your hands not be rough?
Xu Xianyu frowned. It turned out that few stepmothers were good.
Hiding her displeasure, Xu Xianyu shook her head, "Liu, she wants to stay here to learn embroidery."
It's about informing, not discussing.
Jia Lianhua raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of hope. The eldest lady still wanted her!
But Liu's face immediately sank, and she said coldly:
“What do you mean?
I don't agree. Do you still want to kidnap me?
I tell you, even if you are the eldest daughter of the Xu family, I am not afraid of you.
You can't force us to do something we don't agree to!"
Liu's face was gloomy. I thought the Xu family would not do such a thing as bullying others by taking advantage of their power.
Xu Xianyu didn't even look at her. She turned to look at Jia Lianhua, "Lianhua, tell me, do you still want to learn embroidery?"
"I do!" Jia Lianhua answered quickly and decisively, fearing that she would answer too late and miss such a good opportunity.
Liu's face darkened as she stretched out her hand to pinch Jia Lianhua and started to curse:
"What are you thinking about? What right do you, a cheap girl, have to think about it?
Go home and work, and don't covet things that don't belong to you, do you hear me? "
This time, Liu pinched Jia Lianhua harder than ever before, causing her to groan in pain and tears to fall from her eyes.
It hurts so much!
Xu Xianyu's face sank immediately, and she signaled to Nanny Qin and Nanny Yun to pull the people away.
She was so arrogant in front of him, and he didn't know how Jia Lianhua would be bullied by her after she returned.
Xu Xianyu looked at Liu, who was still cursing after being pulled away, and snorted coldly:
"You are just a stepmother, not her biological mother, so what qualifications do you have to make decisions for her?
She won't be going back today. If there's anything, let her father or mother come and tell me. You don't have the qualifications!"
She is just a stepmother. What qualifications does she have to act so arrogantly in front of me?
Jia Lianhua stared blankly at Xu Xianyu who stood up for her, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
For the first time, she experienced what it felt like to be protected.
This feeling is really good!
The eldest lady is a good person!
Liu was stunned for a moment, then cursed loudly:
"Why, stepmother is not mother?
She eats and drinks my food, so I have the right to decide whether she lives or dies. It is not your turn as an outsider to interfere."
"I can't stand it anymore, so I have to intervene!" Xu Xianyu said indifferently.
"Also, are you sure she really eats and drinks your food? Liu, do you really think others are stupid?"
"I didn't eat or drink her food, I was working." Jia Lianhua, who had always been cowardly, suddenly plucked up the courage to speak.
The eldest lady stood up for herself, she couldn't pretend not to see it.
Jia Lianhua glared at Liu with red eyes, "My mother died when I was eight years old, and you married my father and became my stepmother.
But from the day you became my stepmother, I have to do all the housework, such as washing clothes, cooking, cleaning, chopping wood, growing vegetables, feeding chickens and pigs, etc. These are enough to support my life, right? "
After saying that, Jia Lianhua stubbornly reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She doesn't feel wronged.
As long as I leave them, and with my diligence, my life will only get better and better.
"Yes, I can testify that Lianhua did all the work in the Lianhua family, and she ate their leftovers. Sometimes there was no leftovers, so Lianhua could only drink water to fill her stomach." Jia Chunni on the side joined in.
Her family lives next to Lianhua's family, and she knows the most about Jia Lianhua's family.
Everyone in the village disliked Liu's actions and talked to her about it, but it was of no use.
If you say something to her once, she will not only scold you for meddling in her business, but will also turn around and abuse Lotus even more severely. Over time, no one will say anything about it anymore and can only secretly give Lotus some food.
"Jia Chunni, shut up! Your family is the only one that meddles in other people's business. If you continue talking, I'll punish you." Liu roared directly at Jia Chunni.
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Jia Lianhua angrily, "You bitch, get back to work. If you keep talking nonsense to me, I'll beat you to death!"
But Jia Lianhua stepped back, avoiding her hand, and shook her head seriously:
"I'm not going back. I want to learn embroidery and become an embroiderer. You can't stop me!"
Seeing that she actually avoided it, Liu's anger suddenly surged:
"You little bitch, you've become bolder after sneaking out once, right?
If I don’t beat you to death today, I’ll take your last name.”
As she spoke, she raised her thick palm and rushed directly towards Jia Lianhua, as if she would not stop until she beat her to death.
Seeing Liu like this, the shadow of the past came upon Jia Lianhua's heart. Because of this, she forgot to dodge and her body began to tremble unnaturally.
Seeing her hand falling towards her, Jia Lianhua squatted down subconsciously, holding her head with both hands and shouting in horror:
"Don't...don't hit me, I...I don't dare anymore!"
“Don’t hit me!”
…
“Ahhhh!”
The next second, Liu's scream like a pig being slaughtered was heard.
Then came the sound of Liu falling to the ground.
The person who took action was Lin Mo.
After knocking Liu away with one punch, Lin Mo retracted his hand in disgust, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.
Jia Lianhua looked at Liu, who was lying on the ground not far away and wailing in pain. Her eyes gradually became firm from the initial confusion.
She reached out and wiped the tears from her face, then looked at Liu in front of her seriously:
"I'm not going back. I want to learn embroidery and become an embroiderer. I want to make money with my own hands and get rid of you!"
When she said the last few words, Jia Lianhua's voice trembled.
This time, it wasn't out of fear, but excitement.
Lin Mo looked at the little girl in surprise. She seemed to be a person of strong character.
Liu, who was originally wailing in pain, immediately became angry when she heard this, "What did you say, you little bitch? Tell me again?
Get rid of us? I tell you, you will never get rid of us in this life!
You can only be my servant for the rest of your life and serve us!"
After cursing, she got up from the ground again in a mess and was about to rush over to beat Jia Lianhua.
