Wu Ju complained as she took some rice from the rice jar and headed towards the kitchen. As she left the room, she glared at Xiao Shuangning, who was hiding behind the door.
Wu Ju didn't know what was wrong with her, but she just couldn't stand Xiao Shuangning. She also didn't know if she felt that her son was killed because of Xiao Shuangning's birth, so she took out all her anger on Xiao Shuangning.
Xiao Shuangning didn't dare to look directly into Wu Ju's eyes and lowered her eyelids in fear.
Zhang Xiaoqin sat there, rubbing her sore feet and taking off her high heels.
Her eyes met Xiao Shuangning's, "What are you looking at? Go find me a pair of slippers! Can't you see my feet are all blistered?"
On weekdays, she basically stayed at Wang Changxing's house and rarely walked such a long distance. She had never thought that the pursuit of beauty would come at such a price. Her feet didn't feel like her own anymore, and they were almost numb from the pain.
Xiao Shuangning didn't dare to delay for even a second and rushed into the room to find slippers for her.
Home is always the best safe haven. Wu Ju at home will take her in without hesitation no matter what the circumstances. She will give her warmth, motherly love, food, and shelter.
This is perhaps the common treatment shared by daughters all over the world. Home is always the warmest place, a harbor where you can rest when you are tired of flying. At home, there are family members who will always wait for you, regardless of poverty, success or failure, and they will put aside past grudges.
Soon, Xiao Shuangning came out with a pair of slippers, walked timidly to Zhang Xiaoqin, and bent down to put them on her.
Zhang Xiaoqin kicked forward lightly with her toes, knocking Xiao Shuangning to the ground and making her sit down.
"Go, Auntie is very thirsty, pour her some water."
Zhang Xiaoqin leaned back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and ordered the submissive Xiao Shuangning around.
Xiao Shuangning got up from the ground and stood in front of the square table, looking at the kettle on the table. It was obvious that this was still difficult for her, but she had no right to refuse. She climbed up the long bench with difficulty and took a lot of effort to pour water for Zhang Xiaoqin.
She didn't dare to resist. She knew very well that if she wanted to stay in this family, she had to accept everything and do whatever was said.
Her arms were too short and she almost knocked over the thermos. Fortunately, Zhang Binglin came back in time and helped her steady the thermos.
"Ningning, if you want to drink some water, let grandma pour it for you. This is not a joke. If you get burned, what will you do?"
As Zhang Binglin spoke, he helped Xiao Shuangning pour the water.
Xiao Shuangning climbed down from the bench with difficulty and took the water cup handed to her by Zhang Binglin.
"It's what my aunt wants to drink. Ningning is not thirsty."
Xiao Shuangning looked at Zhang Binglin with innocent eyes and explained to him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Binglin turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaoqin.
His sharp eyes made Zhang Xiaoqin feel uncomfortable. She had never seen such a sharp look in his eyes before, and she was a little caught off guard.
Xiao Shuangning handed the water cup to Zhang Xiaoqin and quickly retreated behind Zhang Binglin.
"Why are you angry?" Zhang Xiaoqin asked coldly while stroking Xiao Shuangning's head.
"Dad, what are you talking about? This is my home. How dare you not be happy for me to go back home?" Zhang Xiaoqin stretched her neck and retorted righteously.
Zhang Binglin didn't want to waste any more time talking to her, so he took Xiao Shuangning's hand and walked towards the yard.
Zhang Xiaoqin started to live her life of having everything handed to her, and when she had nothing to do, she would order Xiao Shuangning around to kill time.
But she was used to being in a man's arms, and suddenly she couldn't even smell the man's scent, and she felt really suffocated.
Every day, apart from wandering around the village and basking in the sun in the yard, she ate, drank and slept. She suddenly felt that her life was boring and she wondered how she could resume her old job under her parents' supervision.
One day, she dressed up beautifully again and strolled outside the storage room, where she ran into Niu Wa, the only bachelor in the village.
She had heard about Niu Wa and Kang Shumei's affairs a long time ago. She used to scoff at their affairs, but now she no longer thinks so. She thinks it is simply an inspiration from God. If she wants to resume her old career, she must start with people like Niu Wa.
Zhang Xiaoqin used to be arrogant. When she saw people like Niu Wa, she would ignore them, let alone say hello.
Niu Wa also knew this. When he passed by Zhang Xiaoqin, he just looked at her with his eyes, drooling.
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face? Look at the look in your eyes."
Zhang Xiaoqin, who usually acts superior, actually took the initiative to talk to him. Niu Wa was flattered and looked at a loss.
"No, no, no, it's just that you're so beautiful, like a fairy, I can't help but look at you."
Niu Wa was so excited that he started to stutter.
