Chapter 288 Red Eye Disease 2 Other people’s second-married wives are powerful, but she has red eyes...
Aunt Mao looked at the little girl and found that she was indeed somewhat similar to Yang Shuming, especially her eyes, which were extremely serious when she looked at people.
She took the initiative to show her goodwill and asked with a smile, "Are you Captain Yang's daughter?"
Xia Qiang rolled her eyes at her impatiently and said nothing.
Aunt Mao was not angry. Children from divorced families all have strange tempers, just like the four little ones in her family, none of them is worry-free.
At this moment, Maodan still had tears on her face, and she could only ask Guanying to borrow a toy.
Guanying was a very polite child when he was young. He would take the initiative to say hello when he met her in the alley. But in the past two years, she didn't know what happened, but he gradually became a little strange. He even had a cold face and ignored her.
In the end, Guangmei stood up, took out her own set of flying chess, and lent it to Maodan.
Maodan was still not satisfied and kept asking for a spinning top. Aunt Mao gave him a fake slap on the butt and he finally shut up.
After the grandparents left, Guangmei picked up the crisp peaches that Grandma Mao had given her, washed one and handed it to Xia Qiang.
Xia Qiang rolled her eyes at her impatiently, turned her head away and refused.
Guangmei was furious and snorted coldly, "If you don't want to eat, forget it. Don't act like a big shot here with such a sour face. We don't owe you anything. If you have the guts, you can ask your mother not to divorce you in the first place!"
Xia Qiang didn't say anything. She turned her head and looked at Jinghui and Tingfeng resentfully. These two younger brothers and sisters were still young and only knew how to play. They had no idea why there was such a tense atmosphere in the room.
If her mother had not divorced and taken her away, perhaps her mother would have given birth to a few more brothers and sisters, and her father's place would have become a big family.
But her mother was divorced. She didn't want her to suffer any loss, so she never had any more children after remarrying. Instead, she focused on taking care of her two children with her stepfather.
Last year, her mother lost her life trying to save her stepson who was electrocuted. Her stepfather felt guilty at first and has been supporting her since his wife's death.
Unfortunately, her stepsister got married this year. In order to please her mother-in-law, she introduced a divorced relative of her husband's family to her stepfather. The woman was young and beautiful, and could speak nice things. Her stepfather was soft-hearted, so he persuaded her to come to find his father.
She didn't want to live with her stepmother, but there was nothing she could do because she already had a stepmother over there, and even her father wasn't her biological father.
She had no choice but to choose her biological father because she had to choose the lesser of two evils. Her stepfather was afraid that her biological father would disagree, so he didn't even say hello and just sent her to the alley and left.
Her biological father just received the news and is not available to come over yet. Her stepmother is also busy and said she has to wait until she gets off work.
Of course, these were all told to her by Grandma Xie. Grandma Xie was not at home at the moment because she had gone to the state-owned shopping mall to buy her some spare clothes.
Yes, her stepfather was afraid that she would take advantage of the family, so he didn't even let her take any spare clothes. He even only let her take away her mother's belongings, including photos and household registration page.
He also refused to give her anything else, such as watches, clothes, shoes, socks, and canvas bags.
She felt really sorry for her mother and was extremely upset. Naturally, she was in no mood to talk to a stranger.
Guangmei couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up and said, "Brother, you take care of Jinghui and Tingfeng. I'm going to my aunt's house to take a breath!"
Guanying quickly reminded her: "If someone asks you who is coming to your house, just say you don't know or recognize them."
"Oh." Guangmei understood that her brother didn't like Xia Qiang. Besides, Xia Qiang had no blood relationship with them, so there was no need to waste time on her.
They, the brother and sister, were not as good-tempered as their grandmother, who spoke softly to the uneducated Xia Qiang.
Xia Qiang doesn't deserve it!
Guangmei ran to the back and found her younger siblings playing flying chess. She muttered, "I was wondering why Grandma Mao brought Maodan to borrow the flying chess. It turns out it was you two who caused this. Didn't I tell you not to take it out when other kids are around? Otherwise, they'll keep thinking about these goodies and bother you every day. Can you really stand it?"
"Sister, my sister is still young and can't think about these things. If she wants to play, I will play with her. Besides, when I'm at home, only Maodan will come to borrow toys, no one else dares. Maodan is so shameless. If I hadn't lied to him that my sister and I were going to bed, he would not have refused to leave." In fact, it was not time for a nap at all, but Xiao Xingxing was now known as a "bully" by others, and Maodan didn't dare to argue with him.
Who made him knock down six people by himself? There was nothing he could do. He and his sister were taller than their peers. One of them looked like he was ten years old, and the other looked like he was six or seven years old.
In fact, one is just over seven years old and the other is less than four years old.
Even Maodan is not as tall as Xiaoyueliang, probably because Maodan’s father is short.
In short, if you have to play with toys secretly in your own home, life will be too difficult.
Guangmei thought about it and it made sense, so she found a small stool, watched from the side, and talked about her troubles.
Little Xingxing hadn't realized that a non-blood-related older sister had come before her. Now she finally understood: "No wonder Grandpa said he had to go out for a while and asked my sister and me to listen to Aunt Wan."
"Grandma and grandpa are so good-tempered. If I asked them, they wouldn't buy it for her. Why?" Guangmei became angrier the more she thought about it.
Little Xingxing had no choice but to persuade the older sister: "There's nothing we can do. Her mother is gone, so who else can she follow if not her uncle? Besides, she is Jinghui and Tingfeng's biological sister after all. Her grandparents must treat her well."
Guangmei stopped talking. She understood the reason. She and her elder brother were only half related by blood to Jinghui and Tingfeng. Her biological father had not learned his lesson, so it was no different from him being dead.
In this regard, their situation in this family is actually not much different from that of Xia Qiang, but Xia Qiang is too uncultured. She never treats grandma well, as if someone owes her something. It's really infuriating.
Guangmei became angrier and angrier, and suddenly stood up: "Xingxing, can you lend me your phone?"
"You use it, sister. You don't have to tell me." Xingxing smiled. Sister Guangmei was too concerned about upbringing. She always asked for her aunt's phone number and anything else.
Guangmei didn't think so. Her mother had told her that her aunt's family had a landline installed because she was capable of doing so. They couldn't take it for granted and had to show proper etiquette.
Picking up the phone, she called her father and gave him a good scolding.
The person on the other end was obviously not having a good time. He didn't say anything back when he was scolded. He just asked, "I heard your mother was promoted to station director. Is that true?"
"What's it got to do with you! Stay away from it! Disgusting!" Guangmei cursed and vented her anger, then hung up the phone with a snap.
It feels great.
She finally smiled and ran over to join her younger siblings and play together.
*
Half an hour ago, Yao Zhizhi received a call from Shen Qingwan and learned that Yang Shuming’s eldest daughter had been sent over.
She quickly finished her work and went to the Art Department to tell Qi Changxiao, "I'm leaving on my bike. Ask Zhang Wang to give you a ride after get off work."
"I'll go back with you." Qi Changxiao looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. A little while longer wouldn't make a difference. At worst, he could come early in the afternoon to catch up on the work.
The couple went together to ask for leave from President Chao and rushed back.
On the way, Qi Changxiao asked, "Are you coming here to visit your family for a few days and then leave? Or are you staying for the entire summer?"
"Neither. Yang Shuming's ex-wife is dead." Yao Zhizhi was also a little surprised. That woman was a little stupid. Even if she died to save her own son, a man would not necessarily be good to his living daughter, let alone a stepson.
It's so stupid and not worth it.
Qi Changxiao also felt that it was not worth it. Why bother? Now his own daughter was kicked out by others. He felt so wronged.
Even if her stepmother treats her well, it may not be able to erase such a shadow. A girl of fourteen or fifteen is at the age of being sensitive.
Yao Zhizhi was a little worried: "My sister has a bad temper. If she quarrels with this child..."
"There's nothing else to do. Let's try to persuade my second sister." Qi Changxiao quickened his pace and rushed back to the alley.
The car stopped and the couple walked in and took a look. Their first impression of the girl was not very good.
Uneducated.
Guanying stood up and brought a stool, and the two little ones rushed to Yao Zhizhi and his wife, calling them aunt and uncle affectionately, but Xia Qiang was like a wooden stake.
It would be fine if she didn't call anyone, after all, Yao Zhizhi had no blood relationship with her, but even when Yao Zhizhi took the initiative to ask her if she had graduated from junior high school, she ignored him.
Yao Zhizhi was speechless. If that was true, her sister might not be able to get along with this child.
She didn't want to make things difficult for her sister, so she warned her with a cold face, "I don't care what you've been wronged by your stepfather, no one here owes you anything! Don't be so disrespectful!"
"What do you care? Who are you?" Xia Qiang immediately retorted.
Yao Zhizhi sneered, "I'm Jinghui and Tingfeng's aunt. Who are you? How dare you act so wildly in my sister's house? Who gave you the face?"
Xia Qiang snorted coldly: "Your sister's home? Stop joking, okay? This is my dad's home!"
"Who is your father? Your surname is Xia, right? There is no one with the surname Xia here!" Yao Zhizhi kept on going.
Xia Qiang responded sharply, sneering, "Why are you pretending? My dad is Captain Yang Shuming! Didn't your sister marry him just because he had a high salary? Do you really think I don't know? And you brought two of your own with you? You're so shameless!"
Very good, Yao Zhizhi guessed it, this child is definitely not a good person, and no one knows what her mother said behind her back, she is so disgusting!
Most likely, they knew that Yang Shuming's second wife was capable and lived a good life, so they got jealous and had no way to turn back, so they had to discredit the other person's second wife.
Yao Zhizhi was so angry that she stood up, grabbed her collar, and warned her with gritted teeth, "Listen carefully, my sister is the director of the radio station, and your father's salary is not even as high as hers! You are just a child, not only uneducated, but also slanderous! If you dare to call my Guanying and Guangmei a burden again, I will punish you!"
Xia Qiang refused to accept the news and continued to talk back, "Who are you to control me? I was just saying, what's the matter? Burden! Burden! Burden! Your whole family is a burden!"
Yao Zhizhi felt sorry for the girl because her mother had died, and she didn't want to hit her at first, but she couldn't stand the child asking for a beating. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she raised her hand and slapped her hard.
Xia Qiang had never been beaten by her own mother in her entire life. Now that her mother was dead, everyone bullied her. She couldn't help but scream with red eyes: "You hit me! What right did you hit me? You bad woman! You and your sister are both bad women! Your sister coveted my dad's good job and high salary, so she brought her child here to take advantage of my dad! You coveted your mother-in-law's high status as the director, so you married her sickly son! You two sisters are vain snobs! You don't deserve it!"
Xia Qiang completely collapsed, and everything she had heard in the past few years came out in one go.
Yao Zhizhi was so angry that she slapped her again: "Uneducated thing, who said that to you with red eyes? You are the burden!"
Just as they were arguing, Xie Chunxing and Yao Jingzong came back. She put down her newly bought clothes and hurried over to persuade them: "Zhizhi, how could you hit the child? People will say that our family bullied a motherless child, and your sister will be criticized."
Yao Zhizhi sneered, "Don't bother with me. Let this uneducated thing go to me. I don't believe I can't straighten her out!"
