The three brothers and sisters walked slowly on the street. Life in the countryside was dire, and life in the city was not easy either.
However, no matter how difficult life was in the city, workers and cadres would receive their wages every month. They wouldn't be like the people in the countryside, who had to worry about food and were in danger of starvation at any time. Qin Xiaomi suddenly said, "Brother, I want to go see where my parents live."
Qin Xiaoyun said unhappily, "What's so good about this? Have you forgotten that your own mother almost sold you out a few days ago? Do you want to deliver yourself to her?"
Qin Xiaomi shuddered and said, "Then I won't go."
Qin Huai said, "Xiaomi is missing her parents. Don't think too much about it. Just do whatever you want to do in the future. Who would dare to eat you?"
"But..." Qin Xiaoyun was still afraid of her mother.
"Let's go, I'll take care of everything." Perhaps letting them experience the cruelty of life earlier will help them get rid of unnecessary fantasies. Although he hasn't gone yet, Qin Huai knows that this trip will not have any good results.
The three of them came to Qin Dashu's door, which was closed from the inside. Qin Huai raised his hand to knock on the door, but Qin Xiaomi suddenly hugged Qin Huai's arm tightly. Qin Huai felt her body trembling non-stop, and knowing that she was scared, he said, "If you don't want to go in, let's go back."
Although giving up halfway is not a good habit, Qin Xiaomi is still a little girl. She is very afraid of her parents and they really can't bear to force her.
Qin Xiaomi nodded hurriedly, but then quickly shook her head. Her heart must be very complicated. She longed for the love of her father and mother, but she knew very well that she would never get it.
Standing in front of my biological parents' door, I want to go in but I don't dare to.
Qin Xiaoyun said, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. You're so timid that you didn't even dare to go in when you got to the door. What are you afraid of them doing?"
Qin Huai said hurriedly, "Xiaomi, you didn't do anything to wrong them. They wronged you. They should be afraid of you, not you. Since you're here, you should meet them."
Qin Xiaomi nodded, but was still very nervous.
They couldn't decide, so Qin Huai reached out and knocked on the door. The two girls subconsciously hid behind him. An old lady opened the door and saw them. Her face turned ugly and she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Li Lan in the room asked loudly: "Mom, who is here?"
The old lady turned her head and said, "No one, just asking for directions."
Qin Huai said loudly: "Xiaomi is here to see you."
The old lady angrily closed the door and walked out, shouting, "What do you want to do? Hasn't my daughter been hurt enough by you? Hasn't our whole family been hurt enough by you?"
This blaming-the-other-one question was confusing. Qin Huai pointed at his nose and asked, "How can we harm you?"
Li Lan rushed out and saw her three children. She said impatiently, "Are you here to ask for money again? No, what sin did I commit in my past life to raise useless things like you? Get lost."
Qin Xiaomi's eyes darkened instantly. Qin Huai held her in his arms, and the little girl burst into tears.
Old lady Li pushed Li Lan and said, "The child is here, don't get angry yet." Qin Huai knew at once that the old lady had bad intentions and was pretending to be a good person but he didn't know what bad ideas she was up to.
He must stay away from these two people. They are worse than the devil, like his parents and relatives.
Qin Xiaoyun said hurriedly: "Mom, we don't want money."
"Then what are you doing here? Why don't you just earn work points in the countryside? Why are you running around in the city? Don't you waste food by walking around?"
Qin Xiaomi was afraid at first, but when the time came, she didn't back down. She said responsibly, "Mom, I wanted to see you, so I asked my brother and sister to come with me."
"What's so good about me? If you really want to be filial, you should go with the widow Hua."
At this point, she suddenly grabbed Qin Xiaomi's hand and asked eagerly, "Xiaomi, did you come here today to tell me that you've made up your mind? Are you willing to go to Lin County?"
She was really determined to steal. Qin Huai quickly snatched Xiaomi's hand from his and said, "Let go."
Qin Xiaomi cried, "No, I'm not going. I'm not going anywhere."
The little girl came to see the parents she missed day and night, but as soon as she arrived, she heard the most frightening words in her memory. All her longing was instantly replaced by fear. She looked at her mother in despair and backed away little by little.
Li Lan's smile immediately faded and she said, "Why did you come if you don't want to? Why don't you just stay home?"
She suddenly became angry and said, "You guys came here together, are you trying to ask for money under some pretext? I'm telling you, no, not a cent."
Qin Xiaoyun was completely heartbroken and asked, "Mom, we are not your daughters, are we?"
Li Lan's eyes hesitated for a moment, then she glared and cursed again: "You are my children. I raised you up to this age. Even if I want to kill you or feed you to the dogs, no one can stop me."
The old lady said, "Why are you here asking for money again? Didn't you brag in front of so many people last time at Qinjiazhuang? You said you would never ask us for money again. So many people were listening. How come you're contradicting yourself after just a few days?"
Li Lan angrily cursed, "Where do I get the money to give them? What kind of useless people are I raising? They are useless except for making me angry."
Qin Huai said, "Stop scolding me. I told you from the beginning that we don't want money. Don't be afraid."
Qin Xiaoyun said: "Brother, we shouldn't have come here. Please take us home."
The old lady said, "Then why are you here? How dare you ask for money? Do you know that because that little girl didn't want to marry a rich man, your uncle's promised daughter-in-law broke up with you? It's all because of you. Our Li family is about to die. It's all your fault. It's all you guys who are responsible."
Qin Huai said bluntly: "The Li family doesn't even have the money to marry a daughter-in-law, and they still want to sell their granddaughter for money. It's okay if the incense is cut off. There's nothing to regret. If you are so poor, don't trick people into coming to your house to suffer."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan and her daughter were furious and said, "You idiot cripple, who are you talking to? I raised you and this is how you repay me? My good daughter doesn't listen to me, it's all your fault..."
Middle-aged women are very good at scolding people, and even if they are wrong, they can still be right.
Qin Huai didn't want to listen to the two people's vicious abuse anymore, so he called out to the two girls, "Xiaomi, girls, you've seen enough, come with me. We're not welcome here, so don't bother them at their doorstep."
The two girls immediately hugged Qin Huai's arms tightly, one on each side. Qin Huai turned his head and said, "We are leaving. Stop scolding me. If you think I am an eyesore, I won't bother you again."
Li Lan said angrily, "Get lost! I'd rather keep a dog than you."
Qin Huai laughed and said, "If you want to curse, curse as much as you want."
Qin Xiaomi walked a long way away and was still crying, sobbing, "Brother, I shouldn't have come."
