These words were very harsh, and one could tell from the moment one heard them that the old lady was not someone to be trifled with.
Zhao Cuifeng always bullied the weak and feared the strong, so she quickly smiled and said, "Look at my mouth, I deserve a beating. I'm sorry, sister-in-law, but that's just how I talk, I'm straightforward."
It’s hard to say whether he is a straightforward person or not, but he is definitely not likable.
But since you can't hit someone who smiles at you, Lin Su still asked, "Who are you?"
"I live in a tube-shaped building. My name is Zhao Cuifeng. My husband is a soldier under Deputy Commander Qin."
Lin Su didn't say anything, but took out a stool and moved it for her to sit on.
Looking at the stool that was about to fall apart, Zhao Cuifeng was disgusted but didn't show it on her face. She didn't sit down but continued to smile and said, "You are really hardworking. These three must be Deputy Captain Qin's children. They look so festive. Come on, come on, auntie will give you some pickled radish."
Zhao Cuifeng took out the pickled radish from the basket, divided it into three parts and handed them to the three children.
The three kids didn’t answer.
They had been following Lin Su for a while, eating good food and had become picky eaters. Besides, these pickled radishes were dirty and salty, reminding them of the days when they were beaten and scolded at their grandmother's house.
Seeing that none of them wanted it, Zhao Cuifeng felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Su kindly came to the rescue, "They are full, you should take the pickled radish back."
Don't think she didn't see the disgust in their eyes!
Zhao Cuifeng cursed the three brats in her heart for being ungrateful and threw the pickled radish back into the basket angrily.
Suddenly remembering the purpose of coming here, she reluctantly took out a large handful and placed it on the stool, "Oh, look at me, I forgot something. I heard you were here, and I was the first one to come and see you. I'll give you some pickled radish. I made it myself. It's delicious with porridge, rice, or anything else."
Lin Su looked at the pickled radish on the stool.
It was wrinkled and black, covered with dirt and some unknown debris.
Who can eat this?
Lin Su looked at her grandmother, and the disgust in the latter's eyes could hardly be hidden.
"You'd better take it back. No one in our family likes pickled radish." Grandma Lin said bluntly.
Don’t know what’s good for you!
Zhao Cuifeng gritted her teeth in hatred.
If it weren't for Deputy Captain Qin being so blind as to fall for her granddaughter, they would still be digging for food in the countryside. As a burden, she has no self-awareness at all and has become arrogant after only being here for one day. Bah, what a piece of shit!
Zhao Cuifeng didn't reveal what she was thinking. She just smiled and changed the subject, "Your yard is really big."
Lin Su thought she was just praising him, so she agreed, "It's quite big."
"But living in such a remote place isn't good for the children. We have more children in our tube-shaped building. If you lived there, they would definitely have plenty of playmates."
"And there are more benefits to living in a tube-shaped building, such as..."
Lin Su understood her ulterior motives and didn't bother to beat around the bush with her. She interrupted her directly, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Zhao Cuifeng hated being interrupted, but since she had a favor to ask, she had to put on a cheeky smile and say, "It's like this. My family has more people than yours, so I want to trade houses with you. You can live in the tube-shaped building."
People really laugh when they are speechless.
Lin Su smiled and said, "Sister Zhao, you yourself feel that the tube-shaped building is crowded, so how can it not be crowded with so many people in our family?"
"And everyone has already applied for a house. Why didn't you apply for a bungalow with a yard earlier? Now that we've moved in, you're switching. What? Do you think we're easy to pick on? Are you picking on the weak?"
"Hey, why do you speak so harshly? I have been discussing this with you." Zhao Cuifeng was extremely dissatisfied.
Lin Su was speechless. "Is this harsh? I have even harsher things to say. Besides, you're not speaking in a negotiating tone."
"No wonder others say bad things about you. You are really as bad as the rumors say!" Seeing that Lin Su disagreed, Zhao Cuifeng was too lazy to pretend anymore and spat on the ground with contempt.
Before leaving, he angrily took the pickled radish on the stool and slapped his sleeves as if he was unlucky.
Grandma Lin was very angry. "What did she mean by that? Is there anyone deliberately spreading rumors about you?"
Lin Su frowned, "No, it shouldn't happen. We just arrived."
"No, I'll go and ask around." As this concerned her granddaughter's reputation, Grandma Lin was very anxious and walked out quickly.
Lin Su watched her leave, thought about it and decided not to follow her. She turned around and was about to continue working, but saw the three children staring at her.
"What's wrong?"
The eldest and second kids shook their heads in unison, and the third kid wanted to bite his fingers.
Lin Su quickly took his hand out and said, "It's dirty and has bacteria on it. It will make you sick."
"What are bacteria?" Qin Ni asked Qin Yao in a low voice, "Are they fungi?"
Qin Yao was a little impressed by this foodie and said emphatically, "I don't know."
Qin Ni sighed regretfully.
After they cleaned the house, Grandma Lin finally came back after her investigation.
Lin Su saw that her face looked strange and guessed that things were worse than she thought.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
Grandma Lin looked at her and sighed, "Even before we joined the army, people were already spreading the news that you abused your stepdaughter."
Lin Su frowned, "How did the family affairs get here?"
