Faced with Zhao Meiya's scolding, Zhao Cuiya didn't care at all, and even thought she was making a fuss out of nothing.
She pulled the girl in her arms, who was as thin as a dried firewood stick, and pushed her forward with force.
The child accidentally fell forward headfirst, and He Ruixue helped her to prevent her from falling headfirst onto the coffee table.
"Old sister, you are such an old person, why are you becoming more and more courageous as you grow older?
In the past, landlords hired farmhands and city dwellers hired servants. Once people have money, they like to enjoy themselves and will definitely hire others to help them. Isn't that a difference in their ways of thinking?
Aren't you famous for being so caring towards your daughter? How could you bear to watch her cook with her own hands? Tsk tsk, such white and tender little hands, it would be ugly if they became rough."
As she spoke, she picked up He Ruixue's left hand and stroked it, making her feel uncomfortable.
Zhao Meiya squinted her eyes and said, "Don't worry about it. We have plenty of laborers at home, so there's no need for my daughter to work.
Oh, you may not know this yet, but my son-in-law is also very hardworking and considerate. He usually doesn’t even let her touch water.
Like Qiao Rui, not only is he capable of earning a lot of money, he is also good at housework. Tell me if I am lucky, both girls have good taste. "
She would deliberately hit people in the sore spots. Zhao Cuiya was jealous of her back then and always said that she was just lucky. Now she has confirmed this.
Zhao Cuiya was really angry to death. She looked away and glanced at the layout of the room. The anger in her heart almost reached her throat.
He suppressed his displeasure and said, "Wow, this huge piece of glass in your house is so clear! I'm afraid that a single piece is worth half a year's hard-earned money for us farmers. And that thing on the table, is it a radio? It's such a huge lump of metal, I've never seen anything like it in my life..."
Dear sister, just think of it as helping a relative. You can't just eat too much and watch your sister starve to death, right?
If you were to leave it to others, people would think you were cruel. With an elder like you around, it would be hard for the younger generation in the family to find a partner in the future."
He Ruixue snorted coldly, "Aunt, worrying too much makes you old quickly. Look how haggard you are. If I hadn't mentioned that you are my mother's sister, I would have thought you were my great aunt when I saw you."
Zhao Cuiya was so angry that she was gasping for breath. She didn't care about appearance, but she couldn't lose to her sister who was always competing with her.
"Can you speak? How did your mother teach you?"
Facing her fierce gaze, He Ruixue looked innocent and sincere, "We are all relatives, so I am telling the truth. There is nothing I can do if it doesn't sound good.
I advise you to mind your own business. You may not know how many years you have left to live. It's rare to have a few years of peace and quiet. You won't want to die early, right?"
"You damned girl, how dare you curse me..."
Zhao Cuiya pointed at her nose and wanted to teach her a lesson.
But Zhao Meiya was watching her closely, and before she could even open her mouth, she spoke in a machine gun-like voice,
"What's wrong with my daughter? She's doing this for your own good, why don't you appreciate it? Why, you're allowed to take care of my family's affairs, but we're not allowed to care about you?"
"Besides, Dongbao is already married. What does it have to do with me whether my grandchildren find partners or not? You're dreaming if you expect to control me with this!"
Zhao Cuiya was almost mad with anger, and she pinched her thin granddaughter's arm hard, leaving a red mark the size of a fingertip.
He muttered to himself, "Useless thing, you can't even afford to eat at home, and you can't work well. No one wants you this time, just wait to be thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves."
The little girl was obviously very experienced in dealing with her grandmother's unreasonable beatings. She protected her head with her arms, revealing her skin with purple and blue bruises.
She endured it silently, not daring to cry or hide. At such a young age, she had learned enough lessons and understood that if she didn't let her grandmother vent her anger, she would only be beaten and scolded more severely.
At this time, she was pinched and beaten, but her expression was very numb. She did not cry or defend herself.
Perhaps she realized in her naiveté that these were all useless, and that her grandmother wanted to beat her not because she had done anything wrong or was not well-behaved, but because she just wanted to find someone to vent her anger on.
He Ruixue frowned, but also understood that the reason they made such a fuss was to use a cruel trick on someone.
As long as she lets go, it will be difficult to tear this family apart in the future.
Zhao Meiya's expression remained unchanged as she sat upright to the side, watching the show. She even started a fire, "Put on some effort! Didn't you eat when you came here? You said your granddaughters were all money-losing goods. Look at how pathetic she is. It's not even worth taking out your anger on.
If you ask me, if you are really brave enough to beat up your grandson, that would be great. Maybe I can give you some money as a reward."
Seeing that she was unmoved, Zhao Cuiya angrily let go and poked the children's foreheads. "Remember this, everyone. It was your great aunt who was so hard-hearted that she stood by and watched someone die. If one or two of you starve to death and become ghosts, don't come looking for me. Go seek revenge on her instead."
"Come on, Zhao Cuiya, we've been together for decades. I know your character, and you know how I behave. If I meet a beggar on the road, I might be kind enough to help him. As for you...
I didn't push you down because I'm kind-hearted. Come on, stop crying in front of me and get out of here with your burden."
After hearing her ultimatum, Zhao Cuiya had no choice but to use her ultimate move. She slapped her thigh, sat on the chair and started wailing.
"Mom, Dad, open your eyes and take a good look. You used to be so kind to their family, even bringing half a bowl of meat for them. But now they are treating your daughter like this. It's making you restless in the underworld. Is she doing this to our ancestors?"
"Alright, stop crying in front of me. When your parents were alive, you were not very filial to them. You never even brought back a bag of rice.
During the famine, your mother starved to death, and you didn't even see her for the last time. Who should be blamed? "
Zhao Cuiya didn't feel that she was sorry for her parents. Instead, she felt that her parents were useless.
But at this point she had said all the nice things she could think of, and there was really no other way, so she refused to leave, determined to at least get a few days of good meals.
Zhao Meiya urged and invited him again and again, but the family acted as if they didn't hear anything and refused to move.
In the end, Jiang Yanxu picked up one person in each hand and threw them out.
He Ruixue stood at the gate and said seriously that if they didn't leave, they would call the police.
Having lived in an isolated area for a long time, Zhao Cuiya's thinking is still stuck in the old times, and calling the police is equivalent to reporting to the police.
Once you appear before the official, no matter whether you are right or wrong, you will inevitably be skinned alive.
Zhao Cuiya was frightened away and dared only to wander around the entrance of the alley. When she caught someone, she would cry and complain about how heartless Zhao Meiya was. She had plenty of fish and meat at home but had to watch her own sisters starve to death.
Some people cannot distinguish right from wrong and just want to watch the fun, so they join in the choreography.
The rumor gradually spread and then took a different turn.
Some people said that He Ruixue was a liar, saying that she could get cheap goods from department stores and took a lot of money from relatives.
As a result, she took the money but didn't give the goods to the other party, leaving the other party unable to make ends meet. They had no choice but to come to the city to ask her for the debt, but she kicked them out.
