Chapter 45 How to Beat Her
"This child..."
Wang Xiujuan smiled helplessly.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings! We two old guys just need to take good care of ourselves and not cause trouble for our children." Jian Zhongkang was open-minded.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to hold your grandson?" Wang Xiujuan got up and made the bed.
"What's the use of thinking about it? Can I force him to get married and have kids?!" Jian Zhongkang yawned and began to unbutton his clothes.
Young people nowadays care about mutual love and free love, unlike their time when as long as both parents agreed, the marriage would be considered a done deal.
"Oh! By the way, I don't know what Xiao Lu likes to eat. Remember to make a few more dishes when you make breakfast tomorrow." Jian Zhongkang had just laid down on the bed when he suddenly remembered.
"I understand." Wang Xiujuan tucked the corner of the quilt for Jian Zhongkang in the moonlight.
A dreamless night.
next day
Before dawn, Wang Xiujuan got out of bed quietly.
Steamed buns, flower rolls, dumplings, fried dough sticks, hand-rolled noodles...
The table is full.
At the dining table across the street
Steamed buns, porridge, boiled eggs, and some leftovers from last night.
As soon as Jian Qingyi saw the messy leftovers, she instantly lost her appetite.
She grabbed a steamed bun and a boiled egg and was about to leave.
"Jian Qingyi, wait a minute..." Jian Zhongliang frowned.
Jian Qingyi turned around, said nothing, and waited for his next words.
"Why did you hit Xiaojing yesterday? And you said things that could lead to misunderstandings. Do you know how important reputation is to a girl?" Jian Zhongliang said with a stern face and an indignant tone.
"Did I hit you?" Jian Qingyi looked at Jian Xiaojing with a sharp look.
Jian Xiaojing lowered her head with red eyes and said nothing.
He looked like a poor little thing who had been oppressed for a long time.
"Jian Qingyi, can you please understand something?" Jian Zhongliang frowned tightly.
Jian Qingyi put down the steamed buns and boiled eggs in her hands, took off the schoolbag slung over her shoulder, and walked step by step towards Jian Xiaojing who kept hiding behind Jian Zhongliang.
"Jian Qingyi..." Jian Zhongliang frowned and was about to get angry.
Jian Qingyi stretched out his long arm and grabbed Jian Xiaojing's hair, then exerted force with his hand, and Jian Xiaojing's frail body staggered and fell straight towards Jian Qingyi.
“Pah pah pah…”
Before Jian Zhongliang and Li Meiqian could even react, Jian Qingyi slapped Jian Xiaojing in the face.
By the time the two of them reacted and wanted to stop it, Jian Xiaojing's face was almost swollen like a pig's head.
The corners of his broken mouth were even more red.
Jian Qingyi didn't want to fight any longer and pushed Jian Xiaojing directly into Li Meiqian's arms.
This shove caused the frail mother and daughter to stagger again.
"See? This is called beating."
Jian Zhongliang looked at Jian Xiaojing, who was beaten to the point of being unrecognizable, and was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
"Jian Qingyi, do you want to piss me off to death?!"
He raised his hand and wanted to hit Jian Qingyi.
Jian Qingyi was not the kind of person who would just stand there and get beaten, so he dodged and jumped two meters away.
"Then why don't you ask your good stepdaughter what good things she did yesterday?" When they were at a safe distance, Jian Qingyi shook her aching hand.
When it comes to hitting people, you really hurt the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred.
"No matter what she did, you can't hit anyone!" Seeing Jian Qingyi shaking her red hands, Jian Zhongliang was both angry and distressed.
"She said I hit her? Was she like this when she came back yesterday afternoon?" Jian Qingyi pointed at Jian Xiaojing, whose face was almost swollen like a pig's head, with a sarcastic tone.
Jian Zhongliang glanced at Jian Xiaojing, who was crying silently, and fell silent.
"Do you know what your good stepdaughter said about your own daughter yesterday? You got angry at me. Do you really think I'm easy to bully because I have no mother?!" Jian Qingyi said angrily.
"She told her classmates at school that she knew the political commissar had a girlfriend and she wanted to seduce him."
"What? Your stepdaughter's reputation is a reputation, but mine is shit? Can she trample on it at will?"
"Jian Zhongliang, you should know your limits when it comes to being partial. Don't you have any idea who your child is? Or have you been hooking up with that woman for a long time? Is that Jian Xiaojing, that burden, your child?"
"Jian Qingyi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Jian Zhongliang was so angry that he almost jumped up.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Jian Qingyi sneered. "Have you ever seen a father who doesn't love his own daughter but loves his stepdaughter?! Tell me?"
Jian Zhongliang instantly felt like a balloon that had been popped by a needle...
Wilted!
"Speak up! Why don't you say anything?"
"Aren't you going to hit me again? Come on, hit me!"
"Come on!"
"Just beat me to death. I don't want to live anymore."
"My mother is gone, and my father doesn't love me. What's the point of living? I might as well die early and be reborn into a good family."
While Jian Qingyi was shouting, she pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears from her face.
"Okay! Okay! Stop making trouble. I was wrong. I lost my temper at you without asking clearly. I was wrong. I will definitely change in the future." Jian Zhongliang's head hurt because of her noise.
Why didn’t I realize before that his little girl is so good at speaking colloquialisms?
"And later?" Jian Qingyi frowned.
"There is no future, no future, my dear. I'm going to be late for work. Can you please be kind and stop making trouble?" Jian Zhongliang immediately changed his words.
"Then what about your good stepdaughter who spread dirty rumors about me at school, saying that I tried to seduce the political commissar even though I knew he had a girlfriend?" It was unreasonable. Jian Qingyi was trying to argue for three points, not to mention that she was right.
"Yi Yi, look, you hit this guy too." Li Meiqian begged for mercy with red eyes.
"I didn't hit her, but she insisted that I hit her. If I didn't hit her, I would be unjust for her slandering me." Jian Qingyi sneered.
If Jian Xiaojing dares to spread rumors, she will confirm it.
"How about this, I'll deduct her pocket money for half a year. Is that okay with you?" Jian Zhongliang glanced at the alarm clock on the low cabinet, feeling extremely anxious.
He was recently promoted to deputy factory manager and he's already late. What will his colleagues at the factory think of him?!
What would Director Wu think of him?!
"One year!" Jian Qingyi didn't care about the money, she just wanted to make things difficult for Jian Xiaojing.
Didn't she always brag about how much her scumbag dad loved her and how much pocket money he gave her?
How can she survive without her pocket money?!
"Okay, one year." Jian Zhongliang compromised.
"If you dare to give her pocket money behind my back..." Jian Qingyi snorted lightly, speaking threateningly.
"Ancestor, I swear, if I give her pocket money behind your back, I will be struck by lightning, okay?!" Jian Zhongliang was really impressed by his little girl.
Even honeycomb coal is not as cunning as she is.
After getting a satisfactory answer, Jian Qingyi turned around, picked up her schoolbag, grabbed her steamed buns and eggs and left.
"How can one steamed bun and one egg be enough for you for the whole morning?" Jian Zhongliang grabbed two boiled eggs from the table and stuffed them into her hands.
"Let me starve to death!" She said this, but her action of taking the egg was not vague at all.
"You little girl, you keep talking about death all the time, don't you think it's unlucky?" Jian Zhongliang poked her forehead.
He opened the door for her.
“Crack!”
The next second, he stared blankly outside the door, his facial expression out of control.
