Chapter 69 069 Climbing the Ladder to Watch the Show
He ate one egg, then stuffed the remaining one into Old Mrs. Qin's mouth, earning him a big eye roll from her.
"Why are you giving it to me? Can't you eat anymore?"
Since the food was covered in her own saliva, and fearing her granddaughter would find it offensive, Grandma Qin had no choice but to eat it.
"I can't eat anymore."
"Didn't you just say you were hungry, and that one egg was enough to fill you up?"
No wonder my granddaughter is so thin; how could one egg be enough for her in the morning?
Grandma Qin was a little worried; what method could she use to fatten up her granddaughter?
"No, we'll eat together as a family later."
Grandma Qin was pleased to hear this, saying, "My little one is so sensible."
Just as Grandma Qin was about to continue praising him and subtly belittle her grandson, a sharp scream came from outside the yard, startling her so much that she almost dropped a stack of bowls on the ground.
The old lady pounded her chest in anger, "You wretched thing! Who's howling like that so early in the morning? Did your mother or father die? You almost scared this old woman to death!"
He turned around, placed the bowl on the stove, and when he turned back, Qin Xiaoxiao was gone.
Where are they?
Did he run away in the blink of an eye?
Grandma Qin hurriedly left the kitchen, and as she looked up, she saw Qin Xiaoxiao rushing out the door in a panic.
Grandma Qin's feet were too small to keep up, so she quickly called for Qin Ye.
"Hurry up, your sister has run out. Go after her and see what she's doing."
Qin Ye put the toothpaste and toothbrush back in the house, put on his clothes, and chased after them.
When Old Mrs. Qin turned around again, she saw Qin Aiguo about to smoke, and she snatched the tobacco pouch away.
"Don't just sit there, go take a look."
I don't know which side is fighting, didn't you hear the loud arguing outside?
Qin Aiguo nodded with a smile, stood up, and shouted towards Qin Feng's house.
"Captain, time to get to work."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Feng grabbed his clothes and rushed out, looking at his elderly father with a resentful gaze.
"Dad, please don't call me that! It's terrifying!"
Qin Aiguo glanced at his son indifferently, said nothing, and walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back.
Qin Feng also heard the commotion outside the courtyard. He quickly got dressed, told Ma Dahua, and followed Qin Aiguo out of the courtyard.
Qin Xiaoxiao, who was the first to rush out of the yard, had already arrived at the battlefield. In just one glance, Qin Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Liu, the leader of the gossip squad, standing in the front row.
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she rushed out instantly.
Unfortunately, it wasn't time to start work yet, and people were all gathered around to watch the excitement. It took Qin Xiaoxiao a lot of effort to squeeze in, and Aunt Liu had to pull her in, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to get in.
When they reached Aunt Liu, Qin Xiaoxiao took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and stuffed them into Aunt Liu's hand.
"What's going on? Whose house is this? Why are they fighting so early in the morning?"
As Qin Xiaoxiao asked, she tiptoed to peek into the courtyard, but the gate was closed and the courtyard wall, though not high, was too short for her to see inside.
Qin Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling resentful about her height for the first time.
She really needs to eat well after the mourning period is over, otherwise she'll be too short and won't have the right height to enjoy the excitement.
Just as she was worried about not being able to see what was going on inside, Qin Xiaoxiao looked up and around to see if she could find a high place, and saw a familiar figure waving at them.
Seeing Qin Xiaoxiao looking over, Aunt Song's eyes lit up, and she waved her hand vigorously, signaling her and Aunt Liu to go over.
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly tugged at Aunt Liu's sleeve and squeezed towards Aunt Song's house. Just as they reached the door, it opened, and Aunt Song gestured for the two to be quiet, then pulled them into the courtyard.
Without time to examine the layout of the Song family's house, Aunt Song pulled the two of them toward the right-hand courtyard wall.
There's a ladder right next to the courtyard wall; if you climb up it, you can see your neighbor's yard.
Looking at the ladder, Qin Xiaoxiao and Aunt Liu exchanged a glance.
There's only one ladder, who should get it?
Aunt Song got impatient, "Why don't you all go and do it!"
Qin Xiaoxiao and Aunt Liu turned around, looking embarrassed. "This...who should go?"
Aunt Song realized what was happening and waved her hand apologetically, "Wait here."
A moment later, Aunt Song carried another ladder out of the woodshed, and placed the two ladders together. "Come on up."
Qin Xiaoxiao's lips twitched. This wasn't enough!
At this moment, Aunt Liu and Aunt Song each climbed up a ladder, and they both turned around and stretched out their hands to Qin Xiaoxiao, saying, "Come up."
Qin Xiaoxiao looked around, and her whole body began to twitch.
Great, leave a gap on one side of the ladder for her, and put the two ladders together, just enough for her to climb up.
With one hand on Aunt Liu's hand and the other on Aunt Song's hand, and one foot on the ladder Aunt Liu was standing on and the other on the ladder Aunt Song was standing on, Qin Xiaoxiao successfully climbed to the top of the wall.
The people on the other side of the wall were already bleeding from the fight.
Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, Qin Xiaoxiao asked Aunt Song in a low voice, "Whose house is this?"
Aunt Song whispered, "The Li family, the one that beat their wife a few days ago."
“Oh~!”
"knew."
Knowing whose house it was, Qin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and began to watch the show.
On the other side of the wall, Li Laoda was beating his younger brother mercilessly. Li Laoer's head looked like it had been broken, and his face was covered in blood, which was on the ground.
Old Mrs. Li was grabbing a half-naked woman and slapping her repeatedly while cursing her.
"You little bitch, you've completely disgraced the Li family."
"I shouldn't have let the eldest son marry you in the first place. Losing one of my sons wasn't enough; now I've lost another one too."
Li Lao Da's wife, whose hair was being pulled, was no pushover either. She dodged and cried at the same time, her eyes constantly darting towards Li Lao Er. Unfortunately, Li Lao Er was being beaten by his brother and had no time to pay attention to her, so her glares were in vain.
Seeing that Li Lao Er was unreliable, Li Lao Da's wife quickly took matters into her own hands.
"Waaaaah... Mom, I really don't know what happened, please let me go, I'm innocent, waaaaah... Help! Someone's been beaten to death!"
"Pah! You're innocent? You're innocent my ass!"
"You lowly dog-tail grass (a type of grass), you're innocent? Fine, you say you're innocent? Let me ask you, why did you come out of the second brother's room so early this morning? If I hadn't been in a hurry to pee in the outhouse this morning, I wouldn't have known you slept in the second brother's room last night."
"No, that's not it, Mother, you've mistaken me."
"Pah! I'm not blind anymore. How could I mistake a living, breathing person?!"
...
Qin Xiaoxiao was shocked!
It turns out to be a dramatic family argument!
The eldest sister-in-law and the younger brother-in-law got together, and the eldest brother's hat changed color.
