When Fu Hongmin heard Liu Mei yell at him, he frowned, slowly stepped forward, and asked, "What are you trying to do now?"
His words were full of impatience.
Upon hearing this, Liu Mei nearly collapsed in anger.
She pointed at Fu Hongmin with trembling fingers and cursed, "That good-for-nothing not only ate the salted fish and sweet potato porridge I steamed for Jianguo, but also knocked me down and twisted my back. And you actually asked me what I wanted to do?"
I only cursed at her a few times, I didn't even lay a finger on her, she was just faking it, and you're actually taking her side?
After hearing Liu Mei's words, Fu Hongmin hesitated for a moment. Could it be that what his wife said was true?
As Fu Hongmin walked out, Fu Dahua quietly got up, walked to the door, and eavesdropped.
Hearing what her mother said, she suddenly felt anxious, her eyes darted around several times, and then she hardened her heart and pinched the inside of her thigh hard.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she opened the door, leaning weakly against it.
"Mom, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. I shouldn't have eaten those dishes."
I'm just so hungry, sob sob sob... I haven't eaten a single grain of rice in two days at home!
If I had known that was the food you made for your brother, I would never have touched it, not even if you killed me. I certainly wouldn't have dodged when you hit me, causing you to fall to the ground.
"Mom, I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?"
To say that Fu Dahua would have disdained playing the innocent victim back then, ever since she got married, that man has been beating her three times a day.
She was originally stubborn, and if she showed any anger on her face after being hit, the man would continue to swing his fists and beat her.
According to that man, women are just ignorant; a good beating will teach them a lesson!
After a while, Fu Dahua realized that confronting that man head-on would be pointless.
She softened her tone and spoke gently, and the man naturally hit her much less often.
She didn't know if such gentle words would work on all men. When she heard her mother say that, Fu Dahua was afraid that Fu Hongmin would believe her mother and kick her out of the house. If that happened, she would be doomed.
Before she left, her husband said that if she couldn't borrow food from her parents' home, he would beat her to death when she got back.
Since living is a waste of food anyway, it's better to die early and be reborn, which will save some food for him to live a few more days.
As Fu Dahua expected, Fu Hongmin fell for her act.
Hearing what she said and seeing her like this, he felt sorry for her and defended her, saying, "Honey, even if Da Hua was in the wrong this time, please forgive her, okay?"
Besides, Jianguo might not even want to eat the food you cook, right?
Leave it for me to eat. Consider it my way of showing love and care for my child as a father. Is that alright?
"Every household in our Xishan Village has surplus grain now, so we don't mind if the children have a little extra food, right?"
Four question marks in a row were thrown directly at Liu Mei's face.
Liu Mei choked so badly she almost couldn't catch her breath and passed out.
She flew into a rage, pointed at Fu Dahua, and shouted, "Bullshit! You're spouting nonsense! She deliberately bumped into me and knocked me to the ground!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Dahua gripped the door panel with her fingers and began to sob.
Now that she is thin, she looks quite pitiful, which makes Fu Hongmin feel even more sorry for his eldest daughter.
