The farce ended with Bai Xiruo engrossed in eating.
The little girl glared resentfully at Bai Xiruo, then quickly ran out of the restaurant. Outside, a plump middle-aged woman grabbed her ear and berated her.
"You're useless at everything. You can't even get food for your younger brother. What's the use of having you? If I had known it would be like this, I should have drowned you in a chamber pot when your mother gave birth to you."
Hmph, if your mother hadn't been so adamant about not agreeing and hadn't clung to my leg crying and wailing, do you think you'd still be alive?
"Get out of here! Go and ask for more meat. If you don't get any for your brother, don't come back."
The little girl was shoved hard to the ground. The little boy next to her saw this and instead of being angry because it was his sister, he clapped his hands and gloated, joining in the cursing.
"You good-for-nothing! Hurry up and get me some meat. There's so much meat in there, and so many people. Surely you can get some pieces? You're useless. Grandma, just go home and sell her. Keeping her around is just a waste of food."
“My granddaughter is so clever. But let’s not sell her yet. Let her do more chores at home. If she’s not here, who will take care of you? When she’s older and old enough to get married, we can get her for a good price.”
"Grandma is right. We'll wait a few more years and then sell her. But you can't feed her meat. All the meat is mine."
"No, no, all the meat in the house belongs to my precious grandson, you can have it all."
...
Jiang Jiaqi couldn't hear what the grandmother and granddaughter said after that. Although she felt sorry for the little girl, she was in a precarious situation herself and couldn't help her even if she wanted to. Moreover, even if she did help, she could only help her temporarily, not permanently. If the little girl didn't stand up for herself, she would eventually be sold off.
Jiang Jiaqi sighed, glanced at Bai Xiruo, and saw that she seemed not to have heard what was being said outside, eating her noodles without raising her head or opening her eyes. She couldn't help but feel contempt for her again.
And she calls herself the female lead? And a saint? Is this all she is? She gives up after a couple of criticisms, what a piece of trash!
Jiang Jiaqi decided to eat quickly and leave as soon as she was done. She didn't want to stay with these people any longer; she hadn't achieved her goal in coming to the county yet, and she didn't have time to waste on them.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu had just come out of the county hospital. Qin Xiaoxiao touched her belly, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
"Now I'm relieved. We'll come to the hospital when it's almost time."
Su Lu nodded. "That's right. The doctor said that twins usually require early delivery and rarely get to the normal delivery date. We have to be careful and make sure we don't miss the due date."
Qin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, "Then let's come to the hospital after New Year's Day, about half a month in advance, right?"
Su Lu pondered for a moment, then nodded, "That's about right. It's perfect to stay home for the holiday and then come to the hospital."
Qin Xiaoxiao's due date was in mid-January, and she came to the hospital after New Year's Day, which was exactly half a month early. The baby in her belly should be able to wait... right?
Nobody knows for sure. The two of them just hope the two children don't come out too early, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.
Su Lu pushed the bicycle, and Qin Xiaoxiao sat on the back seat, holding onto the frame with one hand and supporting her belly with the other. When she saw the state-run restaurant not far away, her mouth watered.
"Honey, I'm hungry."
Su Lu tripped and almost fell off his bicycle. He quickly steadied himself and looked back at Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Are you okay?"
Qin Xiaoxiao gripped the back seat tightly, one hand clutching her chest, and glared fiercely at Su Lu. "What are you doing? So careless! What if you fell? I'm carrying twins, three babies at once..."
"Qin Xiaoxiao, shut up!"
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately shut up when she saw Su Lu's angry face. She knew that what she had said was unpleasant, and it was understandable that Su Lu was angry.
Su Lu had no choice but to lower his voice and say to Qin Xiaoxiao, "Don't be so careless with your words. Some things you can say, but some things you should keep to yourself."
Seeing that Su Lu was indeed angry, Qin Xiaoxiao dared not say anything more and sat quietly in the back seat without making a sound.
With a dark expression, Su Lu pushed his bicycle forward and soon arrived at the state-run restaurant. Just as he helped Qin Xiaoxiao off the bicycle and started to walk inside, he bumped into someone inside.
Qin Xiaoxiao was knocked back two steps, clutching Su Lu's clothes tightly with one hand and supporting her stomach with the other. She looked at her stomach and waited for a while before realizing that her stomach didn't hurt, and then she felt relieved.
At this moment, Su Lu was already furious. He held Qin Xiaoxiao's lower back with one hand and pointed at Bai Xiruo standing in front of him with the other, cursing angrily.
"Are you blind? Are those two holes in your face? Didn't you see someone at the door? The door opens outwards; everyone knows to check if anyone's outside before opening it, right? Are your eyes just for use as cannons?"
As soon as Su Lu finished speaking, Bai Xiruo, who was feeling wronged, felt a pain on her face and immediately turned her face to the side.
"Smack!"
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her hand, glaring at Bai Xiruo with a sinister look, wishing she could devour her alive.
Why waste your breath talking to her?
Just fight.
She almost lost her child; if I hadn't hit her, she would have spent the rest of her life in regret.
Bai Xiruo and the other educated youth present were stunned; no one expected Qin Xiaoxiao to hit someone.
Bai Xiruo covered her face and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a wronged expression, "How could you hit someone?"
Qin Xiaoxiao sneered, "Why would I keep you alive if I didn't hit you? You almost killed my child, don't you know that?"
Damn it! As long as the female lead doesn't die at her hands, that's fine. Since that's the case, then don't blame her for being ruthless.
This isn't over yet!
It wasn't that she was being unreasonable. When they entered, both Su Lu and she were watching their step. She couldn't see them, but Su Lu was worried that she would fall when she went up the steps. So when she got out of the car, she only glanced at them and saw Bai Xiruo and the others. She thought that the people inside would make way or move aside. But Bai Xiruo not only didn't move aside, she also bumped straight into them, which made her very angry.
If she weren't pregnant, she would definitely make way for people to come out first and then go in. At the same time, if people inside encountered a pregnant woman, they would also make way for her first. This is common sense and politeness.
Bai Xiruo felt extremely wronged. With red eyes, she pointed to the door behind her and said, "There was a curtain blocking the view, so I didn't see anyone outside."
Qin Xiaoxiao sneered, "Heh, do you really think I didn't see you at all? I did peek inside before I got out of the car. The curtain had just been lifted by you. Anyone would know to look out at this point, but you just turned around and laughed with them, without even looking outside."
Bai Xiruo seemed to have suddenly found a weakness in Qin Xiaoxiao and quickly said, "You said you saw us too. Since you saw us, why couldn't you have been more careful and avoided us?"
Qin Xiaoxiao laughed angrily, "Are you fucking an idiot? With such a big belly, I can't even see my feet when I look down. There are steps to enter the restaurant. What if I accidentally fall? So I definitely look up at the door and then look down at the steps to prevent myself from falling. You don't even understand such a simple principle? I suspect you're an idiot!"
Damn, she's so spoiled. She bumps into someone and doesn't apologize, instead making excuses. I really want to kill her.
