32 Filial granddaughter
◎…◎
"Gu Ai, your grandma misses you. Why don't you go see her now that you're back?"
Seeing Zheng Xiaohong putting on the face of a good stepmother again, Ikeyani Ai felt a little irritated.
Really, you go your way, I go mine. You don't bother me, and I don't bother you. Isn't it good for both of us to have nothing to do? Why do you have to come and jump around in front of her?
Zheng Xiaohong said that old lady Li Zaohua missed her? Chi Gu Ai didn't believe it at all.
How could she not know who Li Zaohua was? Li Zaohua only scolded her but never thought about her.
Judging from Zheng Xiaohong's haggard appearance, she must have been tortured so badly by the old woman that she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to drag her down with her.
If she refused and didn't go back to visit the old lady, Zheng Xiaohong would definitely spread the word about her being unfilial in the family compound and force her to serve the old lady.
Is she someone who can be manipulated so easily?!
Iketani Ai originally wanted to ignore Zheng Xiaohong, but after a moment's thought, she came up with a good idea and immediately went back to the house.
Zheng Xiaohong wanted to follow them into the house. She had never been to the Chen family in all these years.
But just as she raised her foot, the door in front of her slammed shut.
Zheng Xiaohong, who couldn't get into the house and almost hit her nose, cursed in dissatisfaction.
I don’t know what kind of a good life this dead girl has been living in the Chen family all these years. She is treated better than her twins.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xiaohong felt a little unfair.
I thought that this little girl had lost her mother at such a young age, and would definitely be spoiled and useless under my flattery and overindulgence.
Who knew that just when he had started, this damn girl was taken away by Wang Lunan to be educated.
She was afraid that her dark thoughts would be discovered, and facing Wang Runan who seemed to be able to see through her, she didn't dare to stop him.
I can only watch this dead girl move into the Chen family and become more and more outstanding.
Zheng Xiaohong became particularly jealous and angry when she thought that Ikegani Ai not only had a stable job in the police force but also had been promoted and had a bright future.
Her eldest son was in jail, but Ikegani Ai was promoted stepping on her son. How could she feel at ease?!
The eldest son is now disabled, and the only hope she can have now is the twins.
I hope the twins can both be admitted to good universities next year and become cadres after graduation, so that she can be proud of herself!
Ikegani Ai didn't know that Zheng Xiaohong was thinking about good things, otherwise she would have poured a bucket of cold water on her.
Chen Qiudi and the twins all study at the county middle school. Chen Qiudi is in his third year of high school this year, one grade higher than the twins.
According to Chen Qiudi, the twins are not the kind of people who behave themselves and study well in school.
Especially Iketani Yutaka, who somehow got to know the yellow-haired boy outside the school and has been skipping classes every few days since the start of last semester.
Chi Guyu is better than Chi Gufeng, but not much better.
In order to do less housework, Chi Guyu often used the excuse of studying to avoid going out, but in fact he was secretly reading romance novels with his sisters.
Ever since Strait Magazine first published the romantic novel "A Cloud" written by a Taiwanese female writer, these novels about love have become popular among young people in mainland China, and young boys and girls are fascinated by them.
Especially for a little girl like Chi Guyu who lacks love and is often neglected by her family, the tragic and touching love described in the novel is more attractive to her.
She often fantasizes that she can meet a prince charming who will save her, Cinderella, from suffering and let her live a beautiful life like a princess.
Ever since he became addicted to romance novels, Chi Guyu's academic performance, which was originally quite good, has been declining.
These brother and sister are quite capable. The teacher was going to call their parents, but they somehow managed to fool him.
As a result, Zheng Xiaohong and Chi Jianjun still don’t know the specific situation of their children in school and are still holding on to beautiful fantasies.
Ai Iketani took out two items with particularly beautiful packaging from the things she brought back and took off the packaging bags.
Seeing two wilted apples on the table next to him, he picked them up without hesitation, stuffed them into the bag, and then carried them out the door.
Seeing Zheng Xiaohong waiting outside the door with a strange blush on her face, as if she was very excited and proud, Iketani Ai was suddenly confused.
Could it be that Zheng Xiaohong was really driven insane by the old woman?
Shrugging indifferently, Ikeyani Ai walked past Zheng Xiaohong, who was still daydreaming, and walked towards the tube-shaped building where the Chi family lived, carrying the rotten apple.
Along the way, I met many old ladies who were taking care of their children downstairs.
Seeing Chi Gu Ai carrying a beautifully packaged bag and heading towards the Chi family, they learned that the bag contained a gift that Chi Gu Ai bought for Li Zaohua in Huaijiang City, and they all praised her for being filial.
Hearing the neighbors praising Ikegani Ai, Zheng Xiaohong, who was following behind Ikegani Ai, was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
Is Ikegani filial? She's not filial at all!
If I hadn't come to her house, Iketani Ai would have treated the old woman as if she didn't exist and wouldn't even look at her.
Zheng Xiaohong couldn't help but feel a little regretful that she shouldn't have come to find Chi Gu Ai at this time.
If she waits another two or three days and Chi Gu Ai still doesn't go to the Chi family, she will spread the news about her and make sure that Chi Gu Ai's reputation as an unfilial person will be known to everyone.
Once Ikegani Ai's reputation is ruined, even if she tries her best, Ikegani Ai might not be able to do her job as a public security officer.
But she was tortured so badly by the dead old woman that she couldn't wait even a moment.
When I heard that Iketani Ai had returned from a business trip, I rushed over to find her.
However, after taking a look at the exquisite packaging bag in Ikegani Ai's hand, Zheng Xiaohong became conflicted again.
Could it be that this damn girl actually bought something to show her filial piety to her grandmother? Why didn't she believe it?
Although she had some doubts, Zheng Xiaohong couldn't help but feel curious about what was in the package.
If it was really good stuff, she had to get it.
That damn old woman tortured her like this, she must be given something as compensation!
So as soon as she entered the tube-shaped building, Zheng Xiaohong tried in a roundabout way to get Ikegani Ai to hand the things over to her.
Ikegani Ai ignored her and even squeezed Zheng Xiaohong hard.
The person was squeezed and almost fell down the stairs, and Iketani Ai rushed into the Chi family like a gust of wind.
Then, while Zheng Xiaohong was not following, he quickly opened the locker, took out two boxes of malted milk and stuffed them into the packaging bag.
As for the two rotten apples inside, she held them in her hands.
Then, Iketani Ai rushed into the old woman's room with an angry look on her face.
As soon as she entered the room, Iketani Ai was suffocated by the smell of urine in the room and almost couldn't continue her performance.
Enduring the unpleasant smell, Iketani Ai forced herself to continue the performance.
"Grandma, my stepmother is really too much! She doesn't welcome me and is deliberately bullying me and slandering me, right?!"
"I was thinking of you even when I was on a business trip to Huaijiang City. I bought you some nutritional supplements to nourish your body."
"She's so good! Not only did she try to steal the nutritional supplements I bought for you, she also stuffed two rotten apples into my mouth. What does she mean by that? I really can't swallow this!"
"Wow, grandma, I haven't seen you for just a few days, how come you've become so thin? It must be because my stepmother didn't take good care of you, and you've been wronged, grandma!"
Li Zaohua, Li Zaohua is a little confused now.
Seeing Iketani Ai rushing in, she was about to start scolding her.
But at this moment, she was so overwhelmed by Ai Iketani's dramatic performance that she couldn't even bring herself to curse.
Especially when she saw that Ai Iketani had taken out two boxes of malted milk from the exquisitely packaged bag, her rare conscience was condemning herself.
She is really not a good grandmother. She has disliked her eldest granddaughter since she was a child. Unexpectedly, when she became paralyzed, the only one who cared about her was her eldest granddaughter.
Even when he went on a long trip, he always remembered her and bought her nutritional supplements.
Unlike her unfilial son and unfilial daughter-in-law, one of them was disgusted by her dirtiness and made the house smelly, and she didn't even want to go home.
One of them was disgusted by the trouble she made, and after taking care of her for just a few days, her eyes were no longer eyes and her nose was no longer a nose.
There were also the twins. The obvious look of disgust from the twins at that time made her feel even colder.
The reason why she did this these days was that she felt so upset and wanted to vent.
Seeing that Chi Gu'ai not only did not bear a grudge against her but also bought things for her, cared about her, and stood up for her, Li Zaohua suddenly felt like she had found a revolutionary comrade and started scolding Zheng Xiaohong again.
"I knew it! I knew Zheng Xiaohong was no good! My eldest granddaughter is filial to me, but she even tried to snatch the nutritional supplements I bought for her. Why doesn't God send down a thunderbolt to kill this unfilial woman?"
"My dear granddaughter, you've suffered so much these years. It's all because of my incompetence. When your stepmother squeezed you out and made you unable to live at home, I was unable to stand up for you."
"But you should also understand your difficulties. You are old and useless. Zheng Xiaohong is the head of the family. How can an old woman like me have a say?"
"But grandma has come to terms with it now. She'll just have to fight for as long as she can. Instead of living a miserable life, it's better to have a good fight."
"That bitch Zheng Xiaohong wants to bully me, my eldest granddaughter, but she won't even think about it! I'm definitely going to stand up and take care of things for you this time!"
Thinking about how Zheng Xiaohong always had a droopy face these days and was careless in taking care of herself, making herself smelly, Li Zaohua's eyes suddenly became fierce.
If Zheng Xiaohong hadn't failed to clean her thoroughly, how could her son dislike her smell and be unwilling to come back to live with her?
Zheng Xiaohong must have done it on purpose. Since her son didn't come back to live with her, she could abuse herself.
Once she abuses herself to death, she will be the one in charge of the family.
Zheng Xiaohong must be unable to wait and wishes she would die sooner!
Li Zaohua became more and more angry the more she thought about it. She didn't even bother to wonder why Ikegani Ai suddenly became filial. When she heard footsteps outside, she picked up a box of malted milk and threw it towards the door!
Zheng Xiaohong, who was almost squeezed down the stairs by Ikegani Ai, was also very angry.
That damn girl didn't take her stepmother seriously at all and even dared to squeeze her on purpose.
If she had reacted slower and really fallen down the stairs, even if she didn't become paralyzed like a dead old woman, she would have broken her arms and legs.
Although her arms and legs were not broken, she was not in good condition either. She sprained her right foot.
Otherwise, why would she have taken so long to get home?
Zheng Xiaohong was so angry when she heard the old woman cursing her in the house and throwing dirty water on her.
It was obviously this damn old woman who treated Chi Gu Ai the worst back then.
If it weren't for the old woman's connivance, how could she, a newly married second-married daughter-in-law, have the courage to treat her stepdaughter badly?
Now, in order to win over Chi Gu Ai, the old woman made herself sound so innocent, and only Zheng Xiaohong was the bad guy.
But the damn old woman didn’t even think about the fact that Iketani Ai is no longer a child, much less a fool. How could she possibly believe her lies?
This damn girl's move today was clearly an attempt to sow discord and instigate the damn old woman to deal with her!
But ever since this damn old woman became paralyzed, she has been particularly displeased with her and gets angry at the slightest provocation.
Zheng Xiaohong wanted to go in and explain things to the old woman, but she didn't want to fall into the trap of this damn girl.
But as soon as she showed her head, she was instantly killed by a flying iron can.
Zheng Xiaohong's head buzzed with a sharp pain, her vision went dark, and she collapsed to the ground.
Looking at Zheng Xiaohong who was knocked unconscious, Ikeyai was shocked.
I didn’t expect that even though this old woman was paralyzed, she was still so strong in fighting.
When I went to the hospital to see her a few days ago, she was drooling and couldn't speak clearly. But under Zheng Xiaohong's care, she recovered quite well.
You have to be more careful later, so that the old woman won't find out that you are fooling her.
Even if we want to find out, we have to wait until she leaves.
Seeing Iketani Ai looking at the unconscious Zheng Xiaohong with concern, Li Zaohua patted her soothingly.
"Don't worry, granddaughter. No one will die. Zheng Xiaohong is very lucky."
"Sometimes I even wonder if she's just too unlucky, which is why I'm so unlucky."
"Her ex-husband was killed by her. If I had known earlier, I should have stopped your father and refused to let her in no matter what. She is the reincarnation of a jinx!"
"My eldest granddaughter is just too kind-hearted. She has treated you so badly over the years, and you are still worried about her."
But being soft-hearted has its advantages. This girl also let bygones be bygones towards her.
Li Zaohua couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking that Chi Gu Ai was moved by her weakness because she was paralyzed.
Decided to work harder and completely control the eldest granddaughter.
With her eldest granddaughter as her support, Zheng Xiaohong has to be cautious even if she wants to treat her badly.
So when Li Zaohua heard her eldest granddaughter say that she was worried about her and wanted to stay and take care of her, she was very moved but refused.
My eldest granddaughter is a police officer, so her job must be very busy and important.
Unlike Zheng Xiaohong, who is just a textile worker in a workshop, it makes no difference whether she goes to work or not.
If I become paralyzed, there must be someone staying at home to take care of me.
Compared to her eldest granddaughter who is at least related to her by blood, the candidate must be Zheng Xiaohong!
"Gu Ai, I know you're worried about me, but I'm worried about you too. Taking care of someone is so exhausting, how could I bear to let you come?"
"Your stepmother is here, so she doesn't need you. You just need to come visit me often, and that way she won't dare to mistreat me."
"Of course, it would be even better if you could move back home. I'd feel more at ease knowing you could keep an eye on Zheng Xiaohong."
Moving back home? That's impossible.
Ikegani Ai used the excuse that she had just been promoted and the bureau had allocated her a house, but if she didn't live there her place would be taken back, and refused Li Zaohua.
When Li Zaohua learned that Ikegani Ai not only got a promotion but also was allocated a house, she even lost her anger at being rejected and kept praising her eldest granddaughter for her promising future.
Although her son and eldest grandson's disdain made her a little sad, she couldn't help but consider them.
Ai Iketani got a promotion and is now a cadre, which is of some help to her son who has been in a bad situation recently.
There is also an eldest grandson. Having such a promising sister will benefit him in the future, whether in work or finding a partner.
If her eldest grandson didn't have an uncle's family, why would she be so worried? It's all Zheng Xiaohong's fault!
Seeing Li Zaohua start talking about Chi Jianjun and Chi Gufeng, she asked her to get along well with them.
He also said that no matter how promising a girl is, she still needs her family to support her in order to live a good life after she gets married. Iketani Ai rolled her eyes.
Chi Jianjun and that brat Chi Gufeng could be her backers? That's hilarious!
If those two were reliable, even a sow would climb a tree.
It’s better to rely on yourself than on others!
Chi Gu Ai became impatient and didn't intend to argue with Li Zaohua.
The main reason is that the smell in the room is too strong and she can't stand it anymore.
Using the excuse that she had something to do at the bureau, Ikegani Ai stepped over Zheng Xiaohong, who had fainted on the ground, and ran away quickly.
Li Zaohua thought she really had something to do, so she didn't stop her.
After Iketani Ai left, he still happily held the malted milk and looked through it.
These two boxes of malted milk must cost at least ten dollars in total, right?
According to the wages of this era, this expense is not small.
Li Zaohua felt a little touched and guilty. She didn't expect that in the end, it was her eldest granddaughter who was treated the most unfairly by her who was the best and most filial to her.
Just as she watched, Li Zaohua found something was not right.
Why do these two boxes of malted milk look more and more like the two boxes of gifts my son Chi Jianjun received before he got into trouble?!
