"Your great-grandmother and your parents are in jail, didn't you know?"
Chen Tiangui was seven years old during the Chinese New Year, but he still spoke like a child.
Keep in mind that in ancient times, children as young as seven could already be working.
After all, people in ancient times could be considered for marriage at the age of 14. Compared to modern times, people in ancient times were precocious. A 7-year-old in ancient times was like a 10-year-old in modern times.
Yan Xia looked at him calmly.
"Going to jail? Why would they go to jail? You're a liar, you scoundrel! If you didn't want to give me meat, just say so, instead of lying to me. No wonder Great-Grandma used to beat you all the time, she deserved to kill you, you bitch! You're even worse than Aunt Wang! I'm going to tell Great-Grandma, and when she comes back, I'll have her beat you to death and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves!"
Despite his young age, he has a rather ruthless heart.
Before Yan Xia could even speak, her two sons started fighting.
Jin Lu stepped forward and slapped Chen Tiangui.
They punched him so hard his face swelled up.
Chen Tiangui was, after all, just a child.
Her face was so tender that the handprint was particularly noticeable.
Jin Fu then picked up his clothes and threw him into the yard.
"Get the hell out of here! If I hear you curse my mother again, don't blame me for hitting the kid! Get out now!"
Jin Fu usually appears to be an honest person, but when he gets angry, he can scare Chen Tiangui to tears.
He wet his pants...
"Wow--"
"Grandma, Great-Grandma, where are you? Someone hit me! Tiangui, it hurts so much! Waaah—"
The fat man's crying was quite loud.
Yan Xia, who already had a keen hearing, was greatly annoyed by the crying.
We mustn't let this brat ruin what should have been a wonderful New Year's Eve.
"Hey, what are you doing? Bullying a child? How old are you? How old is he? You're about to become a father and you're still arguing with a child. You're really getting more and more out of touch with reality!"
Yan Xia was just about to tell her son to throw Chen Tiangui out when Wang Lihua burst in.
She picked Chen Tiangui up in one swift motion.
They began to criticize Kim Bok.
"Why is he all wet? Did he wet his pants? Look how scared my Tiangui is! Auntie's here, don't be afraid. Aunt Yan, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're so heartless! You sent the entire Chen family to jail, leaving me, a weak woman, all alone with two children. I'm kind-hearted and didn't intend to blame you, but what, are you going to kill him? Tiangui is only a few years old, and you scared him so much during the New Year that he peed his pants. Look at your good son, so grown up, still bullying children. No wonder his father died young, he's a mother who gave birth to children but had no father to care for them!"
To be honest, in the original owner's memory, Wang Lihua had been married into the family for several years, and this was the first time he had ever seen her get angry.
They stopped pretending to be meek and submissive.
He has truly inherited Zhu Xiaohua's skills.
Is this a case of "when the tiger is away, the monkey reigns supreme"?
But he's only just taken charge, and his personality has already changed so quickly?
Yan Xia chuckled. Wang Lihua was not actually a weak person, but she felt insecure because she only had a daughter, which is why she didn't dare to utter a word when bullied.
If Wang Lihua had a son, the Chen family would probably be in an uproar.
"Alright, I don't want to hit or scold people during the New Year, it's bad luck. Get out of here, you're all seven years old and you're spoiled like an idiot. If this were my grandson, I'd beat the shit out of him! You dare say my Jinfu was born of a mother but has no mother to care for him? You Chen family brats all have fathers, where are they? In jail, what a joke! Who would want such a disgraceful father? Ugh, why do you smell like urine? Get out of here, you're making me lose my appetite. You not only stink, but you also smell like poverty. Don't bring your poverty into my house during the New Year, get out of here!"
Yan Xia picked up a broom and chased them both out.
"Bang--"
She slammed the heavy door shut.
The force was so great that a gust of wind suddenly appeared when the door closed.
The wind messed up Wang Lihua's hair at her temples.
"Wow--"
"Auntie, I want to go home, I want to go back, my bottom is so cold—"
It was too cold, and a chilly wind swept between the two of them.
Chen Tiangui's already soaking wet pants clung tightly to his legs.
It was ice-cold.
"Really, money really changes a person. I even felt sorry for you when Grandma beat you before. You were pitied for nothing. You deserved to be beaten!"
Wang Lihua was somewhat afraid of Yan Xia.
He only dared to mutter curses in a low voice.
Her nephew complained of feeling cold, so she had to take him back to change his clothes. The two had just left.
The door reopened from the inside.
Xiao Ji poured out a basin of salt water.
They were almost soaked.
Not only that, she was also muttering loudly.
"Get out of here, you poor wretch! Get out of my house! May all your bad luck disappear!"
Coarse salt water has the function of removing bad luck.
After completing this set...
Xiao Ji closed the door again, not even giving them a second glance.
That look of disdain was clearly meant for them.
Wang Lihua was so angry she nearly fell backward.
But there was nothing she could do, and she didn't have the confidence to go back and argue with Yan Xia.
She lives alone with her two young children; there isn't a single man in the house. If a fight breaks out, who will help her?
"Tian Gui, let's go back. We won't stoop to her level. It's just that we have no one to rely on. Life isn't always smooth sailing. She'll get her comeuppance sooner or later for treating us like this. Let's just bear with it for now..."
As Wang Lihua spoke, she carried Chen Tiangui toward their home.
It's unclear whether she was saying this to her nephew in her arms or to herself.
"Master, the salt water has been applied."
"Hmm, not bad, this will definitely drive away their shabby attitude. Our family is going to make a lot of money. It's not worth letting such people bring bad luck on our New Year's Eve. Put the basin in the kitchen and come in. Let's continue eating. Luckily, there's a coal stove in the main room, so the food is still warm."
"Yes, I'm coming right away."
Xiao Ji quickly washed the basin in her hand.
Place it on the kitchen shelf.
Her hands were red from the cold.
I rubbed my hands together like a fly and quickly went back inside.
The New Year's Eve dinner didn't end until dark. Although the dishes were cold, there's no reason to reheat New Year's Eve food.
It's bad luck.
Since there were no children at home, Yan Xia played Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with her children.
She made the cards herself when she was bored in the shop.
It was carved from wood chips, and the characters were painted red.
To avoid causing trouble, she made a small modification.
The numbers two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten are all converted to uppercase.
AKQJ is replaced with gold, silver, copper, and iron.
The king and the king are carved into plum blossoms of different sizes.
Of course, the gameplay remains the same.
Osmanthus, wintersweet, and lotus flowers are all fun to play with.
The four of them often stayed in the backyard of the pastry shop, and would play a game or two when they were bored.
Jin Fu was busy looking after the shop and didn't have time to learn, while Jin Lu and Jing Shui were even busier and had no time to play.
The two couples sat on the sidelines watching the game.
"Two gold coins! Do you want them?"
Yan Xia drew an excellent hand.
Three whole fry.
