"You, you, how did you become like this? Did Lu Jingshen drug you?" Meng Qiuju stuttered.
Ai Xiaoxia said calmly, "It has nothing to do with others. I'm just annoyed by your oppression. Don't try to threaten me. It's useless. I'm fearless now. As long as you don't kill me, I won't listen to you."
"I, I really should have strangled you when you were little."
"Then you're at a greater disadvantage? Who's done the housework for you all these years? Where are you going to take my 1,800 yuan betrothal gift?"
"Ai Xiaoxia, you are really going to make trouble. I will beat you to death." Meng Qiuju picked up a stick from the ground and ran towards Ai Xiaoxia to hit her.
Ai Xiaoxia was also helpless. She grabbed Meng Qiuju's arm, snatched the stick, and threw it on the ground: "It's not over yet, is it?"
Meng Qiuju couldn't struggle and sat on the ground crying in anger.
Ai Xiaoxia ignored her and went straight to the street. However, after walking for a while, she suddenly came to her senses and hurried back home. If Meng Qiuju went to her husband's house to borrow money at this time, given Li Shaofen's personality, she would definitely give her as much as she had.
Sure enough, when Ai Xiaoxia rushed into the house, Li Shaofen was rummaging through the money in the kang cabinet.
Ai Xiaoxia quickly went over to pull Li Shaofen's hand away and closed the cabinet door. "Mom, remember this. My parents came to borrow money, but they didn't give me a penny. They're not short of money, they just want to take advantage of me. They're vampires, they're headless. Hurry and put the money away. From now on, no matter who comes, they won't give me a penny. If something really goes wrong, I'll intervene. You don't have to have any financial dealings with them."
Li Shaofen looked at Ai Xiaoxia in confusion: "This..."
At this time, Meng Qiuju picked up the stool on the ground and smashed it at Ai Xiaoxia like a madman. She was really furious. Li Shaofen had just said that there were still 300 yuan of activity money at home and she should take it all. The money was gone, and Meng Qiuju also lost her mind.
Ai Xiaoxia stood up on the kang and kicked a stool away. The stool hit the window on the north wall, shattering the glass and breaking the stool. It can be seen how strong the kick was. Lu Guojiu, who had just entered the room, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He had just gone to the back garden to pick two tomatoes to eat. When he heard the quarrel in the house, he hurried back. When he entered the house and saw the scene, he was really shocked.
Meng Qiuju was frightened this time. She stared at Ai Xiaoxia and said, "You are not Ai Xiaoxia anymore, you are a ghost?" After saying that, she ran away.
Li Shaofen was surprised and quickly supported Ai Xiaoxia and asked, "Xiaoxia, is your leg okay?"
Ai Xiaoxia stretched her legs and shook her head: "It's okay, Mom. I just used explosive power, inch force."
Lu Guojiu said, "Shaofen, take the child to the hospital immediately. Make sure the bones are not injured."
Ai Xiaoxia smiled at the two elders' concern: "It's really okay. I've learned self-defense from others. I won't hurt myself. It's just that a piece of glass is broken."
Li Shaofen breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're okay. There's a piece of glass in the warehouse. I'll ask my dad to replace it later. I was really scared just now. If a bench had fallen on you, I don't know how badly you would have been injured. Is this your real mother? How could she have the heart to do that to you?"
Ai Xiaoxia jumped off the kang and swept the glass with a broom while saying, "My parents have always favored boys over girls. They raised me just to help serve their son. I didn't know better before, but after getting married, I figured it out. I will be filial to my parents and give them the money and things they deserve. After all, without them, there would be no me. But I have no obligation, brothers. I can't always go along with them, otherwise they will get worse. You saw how they treated me today, so when I'm not at home in the future, don't give them a penny. It's useless if you give them money. Even if we don't need the money, we can't encourage their arrogance. It's not good for them either. It will make it difficult for them to survive in the future."
Lu Guojiu listened to Ai Xiaoxia's words and nodded: "Xiaoxia is right. We can't let them get something for nothing. If they get used to it, they won't be able to work hard to earn money on their own. This is not good for them."
Li Shaofen came in with a shovel, picked up the broken glass and put it in, also sighing.
Ai Xiaoxia said to Lu Guojiu, "That's what I mean. It's getting late, Dad, Mom, we haven't bought the candy yet. I'll go buy some right away."
Li Shaofen asked, "How about we not make snacks today? Why don't you take a break?"
Ai Xiaoxia smiled and said, "Mom, it's not tiring to do the work every other day. You don't have to worry about me and my family. I've let it go and I don't worry about it anymore."
Li Shaofen thought for a moment and said, "Then wait for me. I'll change my clothes and go with you. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and Mom will buy you something delicious."
Ai Xiaoxia felt the childish pampering she had felt in front of her parents in her previous life. She smiled and nodded, "Well, then I want to eat some big bubble gum."
Li Shaofen smiled and nodded: "Okay, buy a few more."
Ai Xiaoxia waited for Li Shaofen to change her clothes and went to the street with her. When Li Shaofen arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she didn't know what those snacks were, but she bought several for Ai Xiaoxia.
She felt sorry for Ai Xiaoxia because the child never enjoyed the happiness that a child should have when she was at her mother's house. Although her family had been poor, they were good to all the children. All the children were treated the same, and both sons and daughters had a share, not only materially but also spiritually. She even loved her daughters more. After all, daughters would get married when they grew up, so she should love them more when they were at home.
Ai Xiaoxia and Li Shaofen bought some things and went home happily. They also brought some for Lu Jingyuan.
When he returned home, Lu Guojiu had already replaced the glass and everything was back to normal.
In the past two days, in addition to making snacks at home, Ai Xiaoxia has been drawing the design drawings of the bath center. Based on the Hawaiian style, she has added a lot of rainforest features. There are also many flower beds in the lobby. In the future, she will try to add some tropical plants as much as possible, so that people in the north can feel more of the feeling that they cannot usually feel.
The green watercolor pen ran out of water again, so I had to buy a few more bottles. Without professional tools, it was really a bit frustrating to use watercolor pens. But there was no other way. I had to wait until I went to the city and then slowly buy some painting supplies.
Monday soon arrived. Ai Xiaoxia drew the floor plan, and also drew renderings of the lobby from two perspectives, as well as renderings of the swimming pool, private rooms, and leisure area. Of course, the design of the gate and the entrance were drawn in the most detail, because this place seemed inconspicuous, but it was the most important.
Although there are still some places that we don’t have time to complete, these drawings are enough. The rest can be left to professionals. After all, what you draw yourself is just the effect and you can’t do the construction.
After looking at the drawings, she was quite satisfied. She packed up, put on her bag, and went to the station to wait for the bus.
