After finishing his meal, Ning Fei threw down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and stood up to find his older brother.
Seeing Ning Fei leave through the main gate, Zhao Xueqin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, turning around, he saw his youngest daughter, Ningni, shoveling food into her mouth, and his suppressed anger suddenly flared up.
He took off his shoes and slapped Ningni hard on the back, glaring at her and yelling, "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? All you know is eating! When your mother was being beaten, why didn't you come out and stop me?"
Tell me, why did I bring you into this world?
Even laying an egg is better than you; at least an egg is edible. What can you do besides eat?
Looking at her youngest daughter with her small eyes, big nose, big mouth, and millstone-like face, and recalling the troubled look on the matchmaker's face every time she begged for help, she couldn't help but feel furious.
Not to mention, she was beaten so badly just now, she didn't believe that this brat hadn't heard a single thing.
That brat didn't even come out to help her. How heartless can she be?
If I had known that my children would be so unfilial and bring me so much misery, I should have just abandoned them when they were born; it would have been better than suffering like this now.
Ningni never expected that even though she tried her best not to be annoying, she would still be beaten.
Just as Zhao Xueqin raised her hand to hit her again, she grabbed the bowl and chopsticks, bit her lower lip, and ran outside while quickly shoveling all the food in the bowl into her mouth.
After cleaning the bowl, he tossed it into the kitchen, turned around, went back into his room, and locked the door.
This series of actions initially stunned Zhao Xueqin.
By the time she realized what was happening, Ningni had already hidden inside the house.
Enraged, she threw her half-eaten bowl of rice on the table, rushed to her youngest daughter's bedroom door, and pounded on it, calling for her to come out.
Ningni isn't stupid. If she goes out, she'll get beaten up. Anyone who goes out is a fool.
Zhao Xueqin stood outside the door, banging on it and cursing until her voice was hoarse, but the person inside acted as if no one was there and didn't utter a single word.
So angry that she could only turn around and go back, pick up the half-eaten bowl of rice, and shovel it back into her mouth.
However, I had been yelling so hard that my throat must have swelled up. When I swallowed that coarse grain rice, it made my throat sore, and I almost choked on it.
Fortunately, there was a pot of water that had been given to Ning Fei earlier, so Zhao Xueqin picked it up and gulped it down from the spout. She managed to swallow the clump of coarse grains with great difficulty, but her face was already covered in snot and tears.
Ning Fei was unaware of what had happened at home after he left.
When he arrived at his elder brother's house, he went in with his back hunched over, looking dejected.
"Little brother, what's wrong with you?"
Sure enough, before he could even speak, his older brother Ning An asked with concern and worry.
When Ning Fei heard his older brother's question, he looked up at him and then let out a long sigh.
After saying that, she squatted down and started pulling at her hair.
Sniffling, she choked out, "Brother, now that Ninghao is in trouble, how am I supposed to live?"
Not to mention, it also dragged Xueqin's nephew into it, and now my brother-in-law's family is coming to settle accounts with my family!
"If they don't give me reasonable compensation, they'll ruin my family and make my life miserable."
Ning Fei exaggeratedly said, gathering his emotions as he spoke, and when he finished the last sentence, tears streamed down his face.
His appearance was so heartbreaking to hear and so tear-inducing to smell.
