Chapter 48: More courage with more setbacks



"What kind of people are these? Sister Shumei! I think you are not as well off as me who has no family. At least I have a quiet life, but you are living among tigers and wolves." Xiong Qianqian whispered behind Shumei. She dreamed of having a family of her own, but seeing Shumei's family like this, her heart was completely chilled.

"Little girl, you are shameless even though you were given the chance. Why are you so vicious at such a young age? Get out of here. What are you doing in my house?" Wu Ju pointed at Xiong Qianqian's nose and cursed. She picked up a sorghum broom from the wall and hit Xiong Qianqian with it.

Xiong Qianqian had learned her lesson from the previous slap, so this time she was on guard and caught the oncoming sorghum broom. "I'm not Sister Shumei. You can't hit me or scold me as you please. I'm Sister Shumei's friend. I came to my sister's house. How did I bother you? You have no right to chase me away."

"Haha! What a joke. This is my home, and you say I have no rights? Let go and see if I have the rights." Wu Ju struggled with Xiong Qianqian for the sorghum broom in her hand, laughing sarcastically.

The two of them were arguing with each other, and Shumei and Zhang Xiaoqin wanted to interrupt but couldn't.

"Okay, I'll let go. Hit me if you dare! Let me tell you, if you hurt me, I'll have food and shelter. If you go to the police station, I'll be in the right. Killing someone means paying with your life, owing debts means paying them back, and injuring someone means supporting them. Hit me! I promise not to fight back. Also, I'm weak and have been sick since I was a child. I can't really stand a beating, so you have to be prepared to pay with your life for my life." Xiong Qianqian first said some words to scare Wu Ju, then let go of the broom in her hand, stretched her neck, took a step closer to Wu Ju, and motioned Wu Ju to hit her.

After being frightened by Xiong Qianqian, Wu Ju softened her stance. She looked at Zhang Xiaoqin beside her and kept winking at her, as if asking for her opinion, asking her whether she could use the broom to hit the girl.

It was obvious that Zhang Xiaoqin was also undecided. She usually just wanted to have a good time with her words, and had never encountered such a situation where she didn't fight back, and it even involved her life.

Shumei didn't realize that Xiong Qianqian was trying to scare Wu Ju. She grabbed Xiong Qianqian's arm tightly, trying to pull her away, fearing that Wu Ju would really beat her up.

Zhang Xiaoqin suddenly had an idea and quickly yelled at the top of her lungs, "Ahfu, you've been busy all day, aren't you tired? Come inside and rest."

"Alas!" Jiang Fu sighed weakly and reluctantly put down the wine glass in his hand. "Father, you drink. My wife is calling me, I have to go over."

Zhang Binglin did not respond, but waved his hand to signal him to go quickly. He knew what kind of person his daughter was.

"Is your butt stuck to the stool? What are you dawdling for? Hurry up."

Zhang Xiaoqin pulled Jiang Fu to lie on the bed in the room. Shumei had no choice but to give in. She glanced reluctantly at the room, this familiar room, a room filled with so many memories.

"Really? This guy just left and he's already occupied someone else's house. He's not even afraid of being sleep paralyzed at night." Xiong Qianqian murmured to herself in dissatisfaction.

"You, you, you..." Zhang Xiaoqin sat up from the bed and pointed at Xiong Qianqian with her eyes wide open.

"Okay, Qianqian, stop talking and help me hold the baby."

Shumei handed the child to Xiong Qianqian, walked straight to the cabinet, picked up two mattress covers, and pulled Xiong Qianqian out of the main room and walked towards the guest room in the yard.

Wu Ju followed closely behind them, stood at the gate and watched them enter the guest room, then went back into the room and dragged her own daughter into her room to talk.

The mother and daughter sat cross-legged on the bed, both of them were very proud of their victory in the first battle, and they couldn't stop smiling.

"My girl! You are the one who has the solution. With just a few words, you drove that jinx into the guest room." Wu Ju held Zhang Xiaoqin's hand tightly and praised her.

"She's still a little too young to compete with me." Zhang Xiaoqin had a smug look on her face.

"That's right, why don't you help your mother snatch the child away? It's your brother's only blood!"

"Mother, you're so silly! No matter who raises the child, her last name is Zhang, and she has Zhang blood in her veins. When she grows up, she'll still have to call you grandma, so why bother doing such thankless tasks? Raising a child is so annoying! And you think your old bones are too idle? You! Just eat and drink, and let her take care of you two old people. You just wait to be the ready-made grandma."
