"Warm Light in the Palm" - Who Will Redeem the Entertainment Godmother (Part 4)...
Ma Cixin watched the spectacle from the sidelines, seemingly both eager to quell the unrest and eager to fan the flames.
Old Mrs. Jiang, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped forward, reached out and snatched the chain from Qiu Tianyi's hand, threw it on the ground, and angrily said, "What are you doing!"
Grandma Jiang disliked Ma Cixin and Qiu Hui.
After the new bride entered the family, she was not as diligent as Qiu Hui in any way, which did not diminish her malice towards Qiu Hui; in fact, her malice towards Qiu Hui even increased.
The phrase "Your ex-daughter-in-law was better" is something outsiders like to say, but the mother-in-law doesn't like to hear.
When others say something, she feels like they are indirectly picking on her and making fun of her. She feels resentful and can't swallow it.
Therefore, Old Mrs. Jiang disliked both the new and old daughters-in-law, and naturally had no affection for the children born to the old daughters-in-law.
Qiu Tianyi was caught off guard and disarmed from behind. She struggled desperately, opening her mouth to bite, but she was no match for the strength of Old Lady Jiang, who had worked for many years.
Grandma Jiang hadn't expected this little brat to be so sharp-tongued. She grabbed her and smacked her on the back twice: "You don't want to live like this anymore, do you!"
Qiu Tianyi: ...
She didn't cry...
Seeing that his mother had subdued the little creature, Qiu's father finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he wanted to show off his power again.
Grandma Jiang glared at her and said, "You've had enough of this life. I told you not to take him, but you insisted. Now you're causing trouble. If you don't want to raise him, send him back!"
Autumn's father: ...
There's no way we can send it back; that's 1.6 million! We can't let a duck that's already in our mouths fly away.
In his original imagination, 1.6 million was as easy as taking candy from a baby. He could just raise a person like a cat or dog on the side of the road. Who would have thought that this person would not obediently let him support them!
Old Mrs. Jiang grabbed Qiu Yi by the arm and dragged her into the house, pulling her aside and saying, "Stay put!"
The newly born Chain God of War has fallen. Qiu Tianyi pouted to the ground, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.
Grandma Jiang disliked Qiu Hui, but her granddaughter seemed different from her mother.
That's not quite right either. Qiu Yi's current state is too similar to Qiu Hui's crazy state when she divorced.
But while Grandma Jiang disliked many aspects of Qiu Hui, she didn't dislike the part of her that she went mad at the end.
He grumbled and cursed for a while, then closed the door and went back to picking green beans.
Inside the house, Shen Junjiao had forgotten to eat his cucumber and stared at his new niece for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Junjiao slowly broke off the section of the bone she had gnawed on and handed over the remaining half.
"bawl."
Qiu Tianyi glanced at it, pouted, and turned her head away to continue being angry.
Shen Junjiao slowly withdrew the cucumber and put it back into his mouth.
No, what on earth did my ex-sister-in-law give birth to?!
...
It was probably the Shen family's stereotypes about Qiu Hui that led to their misjudgment of Qiu Tianyi. As soon as Qiu Tianyi arrived, she taught everyone a lesson.
Qiu's father, being the one directly slapped, had a large bruise on his face and was naturally furious, wanting to cause trouble. The others, however, seemed indifferent. Old Mrs. Jiang even went to cook, and when it was time to eat, she dragged Qiu Yi out.
Qiu Yi sat at the dining table; the meal was quite plentiful.
With fresh pork ribs stewed in a big pot, green beans just picked from the field, and freshly mixed cucumbers, Grandma Jiang didn't say a word before slamming her rice bowl in front of Qiu Tianyi.
Qiu Yi glanced down at her rice bowl, then looked up and said, "The bowl isn't clean!"
Old Mrs. Jiang immediately smacked her on the head: "Just eat your food! So much trouble!"
Qiu Tianyi pouted again and vigorously scrubbed the bowl with her fingers: "From now on, this is my bowl. I won't eat until it's clean!"
Everyone: ...
Don't you even have any sense of being a dependent?
Ma Cixin's daughter, Ma Tingting, is three years younger than Qiu Tianyi. She learned from her mother and is very good at reading people's expressions.
Before Qiu Yi arrived in the fall, I heard from many people that a young lady was coming to compete with her for things.
Seeing the new young lady being so disobedient, she immediately boasted proudly, "Grandma, I don't mind that the bowls aren't clean!"
When Grandma Jiang was young, she was capable of handling everything at home and outside, and everyone praised her for being a good worker. Now that she is older, it is visibly that she is not as good at working, which makes her very angry.
As a result, one by one they started criticizing her in front of her, which made her furious: "You shut up too!"
Ma Tingting: ...
When his flattery backfired, Ma Cixin quickly pulled his daughter down. Ma Tingting, who had always been favored by her stepfather for her sweet talk, had never suffered such an injustice and immediately burst into tears.
Ma Cixin was hoping she would bring him honor, but she was so disappointing that she told her to shut up, which caused another uproar.
While they were in a bit of a daze, Qiu Tianyi stretched out her chopsticks, picked out whichever piece of rib she liked, and put it into her own bowl.
In the past, the family always made sure that Qiu's father ate the best food. But now, when he reached for his chopsticks, he discovered that his newly brought-back daughter had already taken all the good stuff, and he couldn't help but frown.
"What kind of parenting did your mother teach you! Your grandparents haven't even eaten yet, and you've already started putting food in your own bowl!"
Not only was Qiu Yi not intimidated by his threats, but she also glared at him as he put another piece of pork rib into her bowl, looking like she wanted to beat him up again.
Grandma Jiang couldn't bear to watch any longer. She put a piece of soft, sinewy bone with tendons into her daughter's bowl and sternly scolded, "Eat properly, all of you!"
Shen Junjiao was no pushover either. She pushed the food into her mother's bowl and looked at her phone while eating, saying, "I'm not eating. I'm on a diet."
Just as Grandma Jiang was about to get angry, Qiu Tianyi took the piece of pork rib that Grandma had put on her aunt's plate from her own bowl without saying a word, and refused to take it from her!
Shen Junjiao: ...
Grandma Jiang: ...
No! What do you want to do?!
Everything gets snatched up. Even Shen Junjiao, who claimed to be on a diet, couldn't help but put down her phone, feeling threatened. Her family had never fought over meat so quickly before.
But it's a bit late now. Qiu Yi has sharp eyes. She found a delicious and easy-to-eat spare rib in the vegetable bowl and put it in her own bowl. The rest are all big chunks of pork.
Of the people in the room, only Ma Tingting was a real child who would cry over food; the rest were adults who disdained to do such a thing.
But why do I feel so envious of Qiu Yi's behavior?
Regardless of what they thought, Qiu Yicai, oblivious to everyone else, gathered all the good ribs into her bowl and began to eat them earnestly.
After finishing the ribs with grease dripping from his mouth, he carefully ate the layer of rice that had been soaked with ribs, pushed the bowl away, and said coldly, "I don't want it anymore."
Grandma Jiang watched, her anger blazing. This eating habit would make even a biological mother beat someone, let alone a "step-grandmother."
But Qiu Yi tilted her head back and looked over, clearly telling everyone present that she was looking for trouble.
Children can see through adults' pretense, and adults can see through children's intentions.
She's full and ready to cause trouble, while the others haven't finished eating yet.
Grandma Jiang glared at her fiercely, poured the leftover rice from her bowl into Grandpa Shen's bowl, and then turned around and smashed the empty bowl in front of her.
Looking at the empty bowls that Qiu Yi had collected, she felt a little disappointed: she had just prepared herself to turn the dish upside down if the family dared to scold her.
Unexpectedly, Old Man Shen simply accepted the leftovers in silence, poured some soup, and slurped it all down without uttering a sound.
Actually, he had a pretty bad temper when he was young. At his worst, he took out a carrying pole and hit Grandma Jiang on the waist, so badly that she couldn't get up for several days.
As people grow old, they are gradually marginalized by their families and society, and they fall silent, becoming like invisible eating machines.
Under Grandma Jiang's oppressive atmosphere, the family obediently finished their meal and arranged accommodation for Qiu Tianyi, as if someone in the family had indeed been left behind.
The people on the screen were holding their breath, while the audience off-screen was laughing hysterically.
"Holy crap, you're so skilled at conducting obedience tests on everyone! No wonder you're Qing Shen!"
"No, she's still so young and has lost her mother. Aren't you afraid she'll anger the adults and get a beating? I'm scared!"
"What are you afraid of? When Little Qing Shen gets beaten up, he'll act like: You better kill me, or I'll kill you!"
"The person upstairs is out of character. Actually, I feel that Qing Shen should be quite scared, because she never retaliates against Grandma Jiang in an extreme way, but only tests her. She knows that when Grandma Jiang gets angry, she will really beat her up, and she can't beat her, hahaha!"
"Wow, you're both cowardly and tough! You, Qing Shen, at such a young age, are already so flexible and know how to adapt to circumstances, and you've mastered the art of war!"
"This world seems to be a dungeon where an ugly duckling with low self-esteem is redeemed by a sunny male god. How can a god like Qing Shen become insecure? System, do you have any ideas?"
system:……
To ensure that young Ye Xiqing grows up naturally and without pollution, the system did not enter the world this time, nor did it reveal its existence to young Ye Xiqing.
From God's perspective, it observed Ye Xiqing more carefully, and then it discovered that Ye Xiqing looked a lot like Ye Xiqing even when she was a child!
While it might seem unreasonable to expect someone to be unlike themselves, an adult's personality is often related to their childhood experiences; different experiences shape different personalities.
But why is Ye Xiqing the same?
The original plan for Ye Xiqing, who suffered from amnesia, was to create a story of redemption through a process of building suspense and then highlighting her strengths. The idea was that as long as she survived the darkest period of her childhood, she would eventually find redemption.
But given her personality, what kind of darkness could she possibly endure?
The arrival of Qiu Yi plunged the Shen family into its darkest hour.
Everyone silently arranged accommodation for her, not daring to neglect her in the slightest. Only children can purely express their likes and dislikes; adults, on the other hand, tend to weigh the pros and cons.
The more well-behaved a child is, the less maintenance costs they require. Noisy children need extra care, otherwise their tantrums will cause losses for adults.
Grandma Jiang found her a new mattress and a new blanket: "You'll sleep here from now on!"
Qiu Yi, being a city girl, had never lived in a traditional rural kang (heated brick bed) before, and couldn't help but pout, "I want to sleep alone."
Grandma Jiang's indulgence of her wasn't limitless, and she immediately smacked her on the head again: "Sleep wherever I tell you to, don't make such a fuss!"
After all, she's just a child, and she has the right to be pampered first. Shen Junjiao stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, Mom, what does she know at such a young age? She'll get used to it in a few days."
The Shen family's house was very large, but in the countryside, resources are used sparingly, so it's impossible to fit so many rooms into the house.
Qiu's father and his wife lived in the new house in the east wing, while the old couple lived in the side room in the west wing. Later, when Shen Junjiao grew up, he didn't want to live with his parents anymore, so they cleaned out another room. After Ma Tingting came, she lived in Shen Junjiao's room.
Shen Junjiao was initially very unwilling, but if she disagreed, her new sister-in-law would cause even more trouble.
Now they've added another little one to her roster, and she's gotten used to it.
Once everything settled down, Qiu's father got excited.
The farce that unfolded as soon as he entered the door shattered all pretense, so he stopped pretending and waited until everyone had left before looking down at Qiu Yi.
"Let me tell you, this house isn't for free. From now on, you'll have to write down every expense you make, and we'll take the money from your card, understand?"
Qiu Yi knew that the card he was talking about was her mother's compensation money, and that everyone who adopted her did so for this reason.
But with confidence and a sense of security, they fear no one.
Qiu Tianyi raised her head and said directly, "Can't you afford to live? You're asking a child for money?"
