16 Wishful Thinking
◎…◎
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Let me go! You damned damned girl, you unfilial descendant!"
"Oh my God, the granddaughter dared to attack her grandmother. Please send down lightning and kill this unfilial girl!"
Li Zaohua, whose fingers were bent, screamed in pain and cursed at the same time.
While Ai Iketani was trying hard to bend the old witch's fingers, an expression of extreme grievance appeared on her face.
"Grandma, you are my dear grandma, how can you ruin my reputation like this?!"
"Not only did you throw dirty water on me, saying I had a child out of wedlock, but you also wrongly accused me of assaulting you. Aren't you willing to destroy me?"
"In your heart, are the twins Zheng Xiaohong gave birth to the only ones who are your grandchildren?! How can you despise me, a child who lost her mother so early?!"
Everyone only saw Chi Gu Ai grabbing Li Zaohua's hand and starting to cry, and did not notice that she was about to break Li Zaohua's fingers.
As for Li Zaohua's cries of pain and accusations of Chi Guai hitting her, no one believed it at all.
Ai Iketani has been living in the textile factory's family quarters since she was a child. They watched her grow up. How could they not know her personality?
This girl is filial.
Li Zaohua had never liked her granddaughter, and her father Chi Jianjun became increasingly neglectful of the child after remarrying. Before she was even ten years old, there was almost no place for her to stay in the family.
If she wasn't really unhappy at home, why would she leave her own home and go live with her godmother?
No matter how good her godmother Wang Lunan was to her, she was still living under someone else's roof and would definitely not be as comfortable and free as living in her own home.
Even after all this, this girl never said anything bad about Li Zaohua and Chi Jianjun outside.
It can be seen that he is a kind and honest child.
He is nothing like what Li Zaohua said behind her back, a heartless and ungrateful person.
If they were to say, the real ungrateful person is clearly Li Zaohua!
When Liao Xiangyun first came to the textile factory, her salary was higher than Chi Jianjun's.
At that time, Li Zaohua had a serious illness and almost died. Chi Jianjun's monthly salary was not enough to cover her medical treatment. It was only when Liao Xiangyun contributed her own salary that she was cured.
Otherwise, she would have died long ago and would not have been able to live a life of luxury until now.
Later on, Li Zaohua started to act up as soon as her illness was cured.
The picky man not only wants to be Liao Xiangyun's boss, but also wants to seize the financial power of the family and become the old lord.
Fortunately, Liao Xiangyun was strong-willed and had many tricks up her sleeve. Not only did she control Chi Jianjun, she also made the old witch helpless, forcing her to stay quiet for a while.
But Liao Xiangyun was really unlucky. She died in a fire in the factory, and this gave Li Zaohua the opportunity to turn things around.
Liao Xiangyun is dead, and the little girl she left behind, Chi Guyai, fell into the hands of Li Zaohua, and she was in big trouble.
Because of the conflict between her and Liao Xiangyun, Li Zaohua took her anger out on her granddaughter Chi Guai.
No matter how I look at this little granddaughter, I just can't stand it.
If it weren't for the factory cadres and Wang Lunan keeping an eye on her, who knows how she would have tortured the child.
Later, when Chi Jianjun married a woman who gave birth to twins, the long-awaited grandson, Li Zaohua wished that Chi Guai would disappear.
Perhaps she sensed the strong malice of her grandmother, so Ikeyani Ai, who was less than ten years old at the time, began to live in her godmother Wang Runan's house, avoiding Li Zaohua's torture and calculations.
How could they, old acquaintances and neighbors living in the same residential area, not know about these old stories?
Seeing that Li Zaohua started to act up again and threw dirty water on Chi Gu Ai, they couldn't stand it anymore.
You have to know that Xiaochi has just joined the Public Security Bureau as a police officer. If her reputation is ruined, how will she carry out her work in the future?! How will she get married?
This old lady Li Zaohua really can't stand to see her own granddaughter do anything good!
Although many of them also favor boys over girls, none of them is like Li Zaohua, who does not treat her granddaughter as a relative at all.
"Li Zaohua, that's enough. You're throwing dirty water on Gu Ai like this. How can you still be a grandmother?"
"Back then, the children were squeezed out so hard that they didn't dare to live at home. And you're still not satisfied. Do you have to force people to the point where they can't live?"
"If Gu Ai hadn't loved her mother, you would have died long ago. Try to do some good deeds!"
"That's right, Li Zaohua, how could someone be so rude as to throw dirty water on their granddaughter without asking any questions? And even hit you? I think you'd be more likely to hit Gu Ai!"
Seeing Li Zaohua waving her hand to hit Chi Gu Ai, who was holding a child in her arms, failed to dodge in time and was almost slapped in the face by her, several old neighbors immediately stepped forward to stop Li Zaohua.
When Li Zaohua was stopped by everyone, Ikegami Ai took the opportunity to loosen the finger that was bent on Li Zaohua.
As soon as her fingers were freed, Li Zaohua stretched them out in front of everyone with a look of frustration and anger.
"Look, look, open your eyes and take a look! Look, my fingers are almost broken by this damn girl!"
However, everyone rolled their eyes when they looked at her finger, which was only slightly red.
As for the red spots on her fingers, I guess they were caused by her struggling to hit Iketani Ai just now. Don’t believe her!
Because of Li Zaohua's mischievous nature and her dark past, no one believed her at all.
Li Zaohua: ...
Li Zaohua felt very frustrated when she saw that everyone didn't believe what she said.
"I'm serious, why don't you believe me? This damn girl really attacked me!"
"Why would I believe you? You said Gu Ai gave birth to a child out of wedlock, but look at Gu Ai's figure, how can she look like she's had a child?!"
"You're my grandmother, and you're the first one to make up dirty rumors about your granddaughter. I think the Chi family's reputation is clearly ruined by you."
Several old ladies clicked their tongues and shook their heads. The more they looked at Li Zaohua, the more disgusted they became. Then they suddenly felt proud.
They are also grandmothers and have granddaughters at home. Compared with Li Zaohua, they can be considered good grandmothers!
"W-Where did I say anything wrong?! If this child isn't hers, then where did it come from? She already took the child home!"
"Chi Gu Ai, let me make this clear first. We in the Chi family don't have any extra food or dishes. No matter who you have this child with, you are not allowed to enter our Chi family!"
"Aren't you closest to your godmother? Just take this bastard to your godmother's house and raise him there!"
As she spoke, Li Zaohua became excited.
"I told you that Wang Lunan doesn't know how to raise a child. She's been raising our good child for several years and has ruined him. I have to settle the score with her!"
"She took so much money from our family for nothing and still hasn't raised the child well. She must be responsible!"
You should know that Chi Guyai has been living in Wang Lunan's house for many years, and Chi Jianjun has given her a lot of living expenses.
Li Zaohua thought about stopping it and refused to pay a penny.
Finally, Li Zaohua stopped making trouble after Chi Jianjun persuaded her that not paying would affect his reputation and thus his future in the security department.
However, Li Zaohua found out clearly that Wang Runan did not spend the money at all, but saved it all for Chi Guyai.
Fifteen dollars a month adds up to a very large sum over the years.
Add to that Liao Xiangyun's savings and compensation that were taken away by the dead girl, and the total amount is at least several thousand.
When Li Zaohua thought about how so much money fell into the hands of that dead girl, her heart ached and her eyes were filled with jealousy.
Her beloved grandson recently wanted a bicycle, but was unable to do so because the family was not well off. How could a worthless girl have so much money?
Also, I heard that the dead girl was given a lot of resettlement money by the army after she retired.
Now she has a formal job and receives a salary every month.
How could Li Zaohua still bear it?
As early as a few days ago, she had made her wishful thinking.
He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when Iketani Ai came home for dinner to ask her for filial piety money, and then buy the bicycle that his eldest grandson had always dreamed of.
This damn girl is so good. It’s been several days and she still hasn’t even come home.
If not for this, she wouldn't have come here specifically to block people at the gate.
Not only has she caught him, but she has also caught him with evidence.
In the past, people who did such a shameful thing as having a child out of wedlock would be thrown into a pig cage.
She, Li Zaohua, does not have such a shameless granddaughter!
"Mom? What's wrong with you? Gu Ai, you kid, you can't fight with your grandma no matter what!"
Just when Chi Gu Ai wanted to tear Li Zaohua's broken mouth, her stepmother Zheng Xiaohong appeared with her twin children.
Right from the start, she acted like a good daughter-in-law and a good stepmother, and criticized and educated her stepdaughter Iketani Ai with sighs.
