He Jing wasn't particularly fond of romance novels, and she had even accidentally clicked on the book she had transmigrated into. She said lightly, "Sorry."
Zhu Qian's anger hadn't subsided at all; she stared at her face, growing even more furious.
She had never suffered any grievances from her parents since she was a child, and she had Cheng Yi completely under her control.
Even though Qian Lizhen told her that He Jing was only being nice to her because He Jing was pretty and could earn money for the family, she still couldn't stand it—
So what if I'm pretty!
She is also beautiful.
She can also make money.
Tonight she'll go to the food stall to help the Zhu family attract business. The Zhu family doesn't care about the little money He Jing helps them earn!
He Jing stared at her for a while, but finding it pointless, she threw off the covers and stood up from the sofa.
"Hey, what do you want?"
"go back."
He Jing was still worried about He Xiaoguo. He Xiaoguo was alone at home and must be anxious because she couldn't see anyone.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qian immediately went up and grabbed her sleeve, loudly commanding, "Don't go."
She left, and Qian Lizhen must have thought that she was the one who ousted her, and she would blame her again.
He Jing looked up: "Is something the matter?"
Zhu Qian said, "You think you can just leave after bullying me? You're not going to have such a good time. You stay here and don't go anywhere."
He Jing: "..."
When did she ever bully her?
Looking at the expression on He Jing's face, Zhu Qian thought she was being looked down upon and said angrily, "Your He family is so poor, it would have collapsed long ago without our Zhu family, what are you so arrogant about?"
He Jing gave her a calm look: "You really think so?"
Zhu Qian felt a sudden chill: "Of course, that's the truth."
He Jing found it amusing that some people were so habitual liars that they simply treated lies as the truth; they were truly unparalleled.
However, after Zhu Qian finished speaking, she became more confident. She released He Jing's sleeve and snorted, "When your He family was at its poorest, you couldn't even afford coal to burn, and you had to ask our Zhu family for it."
He Jing frowned, about to speak, when a furious voice suddenly rang out from the side: "Bullshit!"
Then He Sui and He Ning came out of the room again, this time dressed neatly.
Clearly, they were also worried about He Xiaoguo. After being woken up, they didn't plan to go back to sleep and decided to come back later that night.
Zhu Qian was caught off guard and her heart skipped a beat when she was suddenly called out. She turned around and immediately started arguing with He Sui: "I'm telling the truth!"
He Sui angrily said, "Those coals were earned through our hard work. We brothers went to the cold storage in the dead of winter to move frozen meat for you before you would give them to us."
Zhu Qian laughed so hard: "If it weren't for the Zhu family, you wouldn't even have frozen meat to carry, let alone coal."
He Sui: "You..."
Zhu Qian scoffed, her sharp tongue ringing out, "Am I wrong? For a bunch of down-and-outs like you, besides the Zhu family's kindness, who else would be willing to be your relative? Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also speaking ill of the Zhu family."
He Sui was so angry he almost jumped up and down: "Your Zhu family knows perfectly well who really profited."
If it weren't for the small favor the Zhu family had done by not severing ties with the He family back then, they would have quit long ago. Over the years, they have worked tirelessly for the Zhu family, doing countless jobs and doing countless tasks without ever complaining!
Zhu Qian scoffed even more, raising an eyebrow and uttering a merciless laugh: "What value do you guys have besides being able to do some physical labor? If it weren't for the Zhu family giving you a chance to prove yourselves, you'd probably all become useless."
