Chapter 124 What a terrible family
"Alright, what are you arguing about? Two adults, arguing like this over a can of malt extract, aren't you ashamed if the news gets out?" Huo Jianjun, who had been lying in wait for a long time, suddenly yelled. He turned his head to look at his young lady and said:
"Give two cans of your malt extract to your second uncle's elder brother and younger brother. There are three cans in total, so you can keep one to drink.
Wait for Dad to go up the mountain and catch some rabbits in a few days, and exchange them for money, and then I’ll buy it for you.”
Li Shufen didn't expect that after she had been fighting for such a long time, her man was so cowardly that he refused to speak for her and embarrassed her as soon as he opened his mouth. She immediately looked at Huo Jianjun with disappointment in her eyes.
Young Huo Qiu also felt it. Every time something happened, her father would always let her give in to her second uncle's children. She looked at her mother's face full of grievance and held the maltose in her arms:
"Maltenum is mine, and I won't give it to anyone else!"
Huo Qiu was not greedy for those cans of maltose. She just saw that A Niang said she wanted to keep the maltose, so the little girl stood on A Niang's side without thinking.
My mother said she can’t give it to me, so no one can take it away.
Cheng Erxi originally thought that he was going to get the two cans of malt extract, and was already planning to take it from Huo Qiu with a smile, but he didn't expect that this yellow-haired girl would also protect the food, and his face suddenly became even uglier.
At this moment, Cheng Erxi's eldest son Huo De suddenly rushed out before anyone could react. His big hand pushed Huo Qiu, who was holding the maltose, to the ground.
Then he walked aside holding the three jars of maltose, gave one jar to his second brother Huo Liang and one to his third brother Huo Gang, and he also kept one jar for himself.
Huo De was the oldest child in the family, already nine years old, three years older than Qiu Qiu. He was very strong and ferocious, and with such a slap, Huo Qiu was pushed to the ground heavily, and immediately burst into tears.
Seeing her daughter being bullied like this, Li Shufen was immediately furious. After helping her daughter up, she reached out and slapped Huo De hard in the face.
After the slap, a red slap mark instantly appeared on Hood's already fat face.
Just like that, Hood also burst into tears while holding the malted milk in his arms.
Everything happened in an instant, so fast that no one in the room could react to what had happened.
When Cheng Erxi realized that his son had been beaten, he immediately reached out for Li Shufen's hair without caring about anything.
Cheng Erxi grabbed Li Shufen's hair and knocked the thin Li Shufen to the ground.
The room suddenly became a mess.
Su Mei was strong and muscular. Seeing that Li Shufen was not getting any advantage over Cheng Erxi, she immediately stood up to separate them. She hugged Cheng Erxi fiercely from behind and shouted:
"Sister-in-law, don't fight it, sister-in-law, don't fight it, it's just malted milk, it's our fault for not considering it carefully, we will find a way to send it to you after the New Year!"
Li Shufen was angry at this time. She completely let go of her usual cowardice and slapped Cheng Erxi in the face with both hands.
Cheng Erxi wanted to fight back, but was held by Su Mei, and he couldn't move at all. He could only yell angrily:
"Su Mei, are you blind? It was Li Shufen who hit me, not me who hit her. Let me go, you fat bastard!"
"Second sister-in-law, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!" Su Mei didn't care what Cheng Erxi said at all. She just hugged Cheng Erxi tightly.
Damn it, you dragged her into this for no reason, so don't blame her for taking sides at this time.
The farce finally ended when other people in the room reacted and pulled Li Shufen away.
This family is really a mess, and with the original owner being a troublemaker, Su Mei can hardly imagine how wonderful this family's life would be.
Although Su Mei has the original owner's memories, for many things, experiencing them personally and recalling them based on vague fragments are two completely different concepts.
After she had pulled the strings with great effort, she sat down panting, then she remembered that she had blisters on her feet and she grimaced in pain.
However, looking at the swollen faces of Huo De and Cheng Erxi, mother and son, Su Mei couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
Although it hurts when the blisters are broken, it is worth it.
After the fight, Cheng Erxi cried and begged her mother-in-law Liu Cuiyun to take charge of the matter. The second son also touched Cheng Erxi's swollen face and said that his wife was wronged.
The eldest brother, Huo Jianjun, became mute again, crouching timidly in the corner, puffing on his tobacco, as if the quarrel in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Li Shufen sat aside holding her daughter in her arms without saying a word. She did not complain or argue for herself because she knew that at such times, she would be the one who would be wronged in the end.
Facts proved that what Li Shufen thought was right. Liu Cuiyun looked at Cheng Erxi who was crying so hard, and then looked at her grandson whose face was swollen like a pig's head. Her face had already darkened. She looked at Huo Qiu and said:
"Qiuqiu, grandma loves you the most, but why are you so naughty, so selfish, and don't know how to share at all?
It's just a can of maltose. You should have given one to your younger brother Xiaogang a long time ago. Why would there be so much trouble?
Your third uncle said you were precious, but grandma was very disappointed watching this."
Su Mei thought it was normal that the water in the bowl was not balanced, but she did not expect that Liu Cuiyun's bowl of water could be so biased.
It was clearly Huo De who stole the things and pushed Huo Qiu to the ground. But now she didn't blame the one who started the fight first, but instead blamed Huo Qiu?
Disappointed? Su Mei just found it funny. She felt that the one who should be disappointed was Huo Qiu. How could he have such a terrible grandmother?
What a terrible family.
Su Mei felt that compared with the original owner of the magical family, many people in this family were also rare and excellent characters.
Su Mei felt that it was appropriate to describe this home as a den of dragons and tigers.
It was only her first day back, and just by giving these people New Year's gifts, so much trouble had occurred.
Su Mei felt suffocated just thinking about having to live in this home for another ten days.
No, there is a lot of gossip in her husband's family, so she wants to go back to her parents' home.
At this time, Su Mei was full of vigor and confidence, and her idea of changing the original owner's image in the eyes of her husband's family had completely come to an end.
She will go back to her parents' home tomorrow to avoid the limelight.
Whoever wants to stay in this house can stay there.
Li Shufen was already numb to Liu Cuiyun's reaction and had taken it for granted. She did not say a word in rebuttal, but just touched the back of her daughter's head where a big bump had appeared from the fall and said:
"Qiuqiu, we don't want that malt extract anymore. It's my fault that I'm incompetent and can't keep your things. Since your cousins like it, just give it to them."
Li Shufen, who had been arguing for a long time, suddenly stopped arguing.
She picked up Huo Qiu and went out.
She never looked at her wretched husband again.
Su Mei looked at Li Shufen's thin back and felt heartbroken by her sadness.
