Xia Tianxiu crossed her arms and glanced sideways at Qin Xuelian: "Why would I do this?"
Qin Xuelian was stunned for a moment: "...Child, I am your biological mother. Don't you want to know what it feels like to have a biological mother?"
Xia Tianxiu suddenly raised her voice: "I fucking know now, it's the feeling of wanting to kill you!"
Qin Xuelian wasn't angry; she still had a smile on her face: "Child, I know you were just saying that out of anger. Think about it carefully!"
You live alone in such a big courtyard; you're enjoying all the blessings in the world!
Your own mother was kicked out by the employer because she was too old to work as a caregiver...
Helpless and homeless, with nowhere to go...
Child, just do a good deed...
Mom will clean and tidy up everything in the house for you, making sure everything is spotless and organized!
Three meals a day, they feed you right to your mouth!
Don't you want to live like that?
Xia Tianxiu was almost in a breakdown: "I fucking need to eat, I can cook for myself! Do I need you to feed me? I'm not paralyzed!"
"Xiuer, does that mean my daughter and I are destined not to get along well?" The somewhat humble smile that had been on Qin Xuelian's face disappeared.
Xia Tianxiu then realized that Qin Xuelian actually had a rather fierce appearance.
Before, she was like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, but now she has become a wolf that bites.
"What will you do if I refuse?"
“Child, we have the chance to live together in paradise, but you insist on forcing me to drag you back to hell. What’s the point? Child, you’re not stupid, are you?” Qin Xuelian’s words were a blatant threat.
Xia Tianxiu felt a headache coming on: "Let me think, let me think, okay?"
“My child, I have nowhere for you to go! I’ve been searching for you all this way, from Haicheng to Heilongjiang Province, and from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing! My child, I’m exhausted…”
"You mean—you're going to live here starting today?"
Qin Xuelian looked into Xia Tianxiu's eyes and nodded firmly.
Xia Tianxiu was so angry she almost laughed—this woman, with a face exactly like hers, actually thought she could fool Qi Zhao?
Qi Zhao is going to be a big shot in the future!
However, we can't get rid of her right now, so we can only deal with her gradually.
Xia Tianxiu frowned and said, "Fine, then you can stay here. You're going to be a nanny, right? Then you'd better get out of here and go to the nanny's room!"
"Hey, wow! Xiuer, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"
"I won't eat a single bite of what you make, and don't touch my kitchen!"
"Then what am I supposed to eat? I... I haven't eaten anything for two days..."
"You wait!" Xia Tianxiu said, walking towards the storeroom in the semi-basement, and took out a bucket of expired and damp biscuits. "You can eat these."
Xia Tianxiu threw the biscuit tin at Qin Xuelian, who caught it with great agility.
She used her dirty fingernails to pry open the lid of the cookie tin, eagerly picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth. After choking, she reached for the cup that Xia Tianxiu had placed on the coffee table.
"That's my cup. Try touching it again with your filthy hands!" Xia Tianxiu snapped.
Qin Xuelian immediately withdrew her hand timidly.
"Grab your cookie box and come with me!" Xia Tianxiu said, leading Qin Xuelian to the side room. She then pointed to the well in the middle of the courtyard, "If you want water, draw it yourself. Remember to leave some tap water, otherwise the well will freeze in this weather!"
...
Two days later, one morning, it was snowing heavily.
Xia Tianxiu and Qin Xuelian were having breakfast in the dining room when Qi Zhao arrived, braving the wind and snow, carrying various food bags in his hands.
Upon entering the dining room, Qi Zhao was taken aback to see an unfamiliar old woman sitting in his usual spot.
The old woman's face was extremely bluish-purple, swollen like a pig's head, and her original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
This happened on the second night after Qin Xuelian moved into the Qi family's house. Xia Tianxiu took advantage of her being asleep and rode on top of her to hit her.
At that moment, Xia Tianxiu swung the lamp base and smashed it against her face without thinking twice.
It's understandable that it was smashed to this state.
Xia Tianxiu suspected that Qin Xuelian's nose was also broken.
However, Qin Xuelian did not suggest seeing a doctor.
Of course, this kind of deception of Qi Zhao could only work for a short time.
Xia Tianxiu desperately wanted Su Yin to be by her side at this moment.
Because Su Yin has so many clever ideas, she will definitely be able to come up with a good way to get rid of this old woman once and for all!
Moreover, they will never leave no trace!
Xia Tianxiu thought Su Yin handled Wang Bo's matter very well.
In the past two days, in order to appease Qin Xuelian, Xia Tianxiu even pretended to eat a few meals that Qin Xuelian cooked.
It must be said that Qin Xuelian's cooking skills are quite good.
When Xia Tianxiu saw Qi Zhao, a genuine smile immediately bloomed on her face: "Uncle, you're here? With such heavy snow, why did you come this morning? Please sit down!"
Then he turned to Qin Xuelian and said, "Auntie, this is my uncle. Please serve him a bowl of porridge!"
"Okay, I'll go right now." Qin Xuelian deliberately pretended to be old and frail, and slowly got up and left.
After Qin Xuelian left, Qi Zhao asked Xia Tianxiu in a low voice, "Yue'er, what's going on?"
Xia Tianxiu sighed, "This is an old lady who fainted at the gate of the courtyard a couple of days ago. I felt sorry for her, and she said she had no family... so I... so I took her in for a few days. Uncle, please don't be angry... I know it was wrong of me to do this without your permission..."
Qi Zhao frowned: "I mean, what happened to her face? It's obvious she got into some trouble and got beaten up! You mean well, but don't let it get to you later!"
"No, Uncle. Auntie already told me that she was actually... kicked out by her daughter-in-law, and the injuries on her face were from being beaten by her daughter-in-law. She said she had nowhere to go this year-end, and that she didn't mean to die at our doorstep..."
Xia Tianxiu's voice was already trembling with tears as she spoke.
"What you just said reminds me of when I was also kicked out of the Xia family on New Year's Eve one year..."
"Oh, Yue'er... you're just... too kind. What if someone with ulterior motives deceives you?" Qi Zhao lovingly took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xia Tianxiu.
Xia Tianxiu took the handkerchief and clutched it, blinking her wet eyes with an even more innocent expression:
No way!
Uncle, I can tell, this aunt is a good person!
Moreover, she's an excellent cook; look—this is the pickled vegetable she made with sesame oil.
Oh, and she can also make Caozi cake!
Uncle, look, look—
