Chapter 111 Su Qinglian is bullied
Su Qinglian lowered her head and asked Xia Yutong for help in making a data table, but Xia Yutong not only didn't agree, she also refused outright.
Su Qinglian was so angry that she didn't know what expression to make, and she kept a straight face ever since she came out of the small wooden house.
She disliked everyone. Just then, Xiaomi was catching insects in the rose garden. She put a bunch of small green caterpillars in a bowl, took something and crushed them into a bunch of green paste.
Su Qinglian noticed what she was holding and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Mom, let me put a face mask on you."
Su Qinglian didn't know what it was; it looked green and she thought it was some kind of plant.
The unpleasantness in her heart vanished instantly. Su Qinglian patted Xiao Mi's head and saw that her face was dirty, like a little kitten. She became even more determined to become stronger and learn more so that even if she left her parents' home in the future, she could at least support her daughter.
What kind of face mask is it?
"It's a high-protein face mask, Mom. I'm putting it on your face now. Come on... close your eyes."
Su Qinglian closed her eyes, sat under a tree, and took a deep breath. "Xiao Mi, it's so good to have a daughter. The thing I regret least is giving birth to you."
Just then, Xu Lei arrived, clenching his fist. "Xiaomi, I've caught another bunch for you."
Xu Lei was completely stunned when he saw Su Qinglian there.
Su Qinglian opened her eyes. Because half of her face was covered with a "mask," she spoke a little incoherently, "What are you looking at? Are you stupid? Haven't you ever seen anything like this before?"
"Sister Qinglian, you..."
"Here he comes, here he comes, quickly let Uncle Xu in."
Xiao Mi handed over her small bowl containing a face mask, while Xu Lei held a handful of green caterpillars in his hands, not daring to open them.
"What? What's going on?"
Su Qinglian frowned unhappily, and Xiao Mi urged him, "Hurry up, Uncle Xu."
Xu Lei let go, and something fell into Xiao Mi's bowl. Xiao Mi started crushing the insect again. "Mom, the face mask will be ready soon."
It has an indescribable smell, but it's sticky and feels very comfortable on the face.
Xu Lei turned to run away, but Su Qinglian looked at him and said, "You're the one who asked Xiaomi to make me a face mask."
Xu Lei shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, no, it was her own idea."
He thought Xiao Mi was just having fun. If he knew she was using these insects to make a face mask for Su Qinglian, he would never have touched them.
"Sister Qinglian, I have to go now."
"Uncle Xu caught the bugs for me."
Su Qinglian sighed unhappily, "You child, other girls love flowers and pretty dresses. Look at you, can't you be a little more refined? All you do is play with mud and catch bugs. What are you doing catching bugs?"
Xiaomi giggled, revealing her big white teeth, "Making a face mask with bugs, Mom..."
Su Qinglian had a sticky, unidentified substance on her face. She thought it was some kind of aloe vera plant and thought to herself, "My child has grown up and become sensible. He's so much less of a worry now."
She glanced at Xiaomi sideways. "What did you say? Say it again... What did you say?"
"Make a face mask."
"Xiaomi, this is what I put on my face..."
Looking at the bowl in Xiao Mi's hand, the green caterpillar was broken into pieces and was still wriggling.
"ah!"
The afternoon's tranquility was shattered by Su Qinglian's scream.
Su Yuanzheng and Jiang Yu packed the last batch of flowers to be transported to a horticultural workshop in the county, covered them with a curtain, and sprayed them with water and nutrient solution.
As soon as the car drove away, a scream came from behind, and birds flew from the woods into the sky.
Zhang Ji asked, puzzled, "What's wrong with Sister Qinglian now?"
Who cares?
That evening, at the Su family home...
The family was eating around the table when Su Qinglian made Xiao Mi kneel in the main room. Xiao Mi sobbed, and Su Qinglian cried too.
"You idiot, I'm terrified of bugs..."
On the dinner table, there were several dishes and a soup.
A simple stir-fry, a sweet potato shoot soup, and a pea shoot soup. The shoots were all the tenderest tips, washed clean one by one...
I also cooked Mapo Tofu, which was smooth and tender.
Luo Caixia brought a steamer of rice cakes from the kitchen, sprinkled with osmanthus flowers.
"Alright, let the child get up and eat. She didn't do it on purpose."
Luo Caixia advised, "The child is just being immature; he's only trying to be filial to you."
"Be filial to me?"
Su Qinglian was so angry that she couldn't eat. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Xiao Mi knelt on the ground with droopy eyelids. When she saw the steamed cake on the table, her eyes flashed with a light. She glanced at Su Qinglian and immediately looked dejected. "Mom... I'm so hungry."
"She didn't come to repay a debt of gratitude, but to seek revenge. What filial piety? I think she just wants to get rid of me."
Su Qinglian took a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes again. "I've never seen such a brainless child, putting crushed caterpillars on his own mother's face and claiming it's high in protein..."
Su Qinglian's voice choked up, "What the hell is this high-protein stuff? I thought it was aloe vera. I mean, the smell just doesn't seem right..."
As Su Qinglian spoke, she burst into tears again, losing control, and cried out with her mouth wide open, "Who are you?!"
"Alright, Qinglian, the child didn't do it on purpose."
"What do you mean it wasn't intentional? It was intentional."
Su Qinglian felt extremely nauseous and stood up. "Dad, just thinking about having that stuff on my face makes me nauseous... I... vomit..."
Su Qinglian rushed out and vomited, leaving Luo Caixia and Su Jianguo somewhat helpless.
Xiaomi pleaded, "Grandma, I'm so hungry."
Luo Caixia quickly grabbed a rice cake, "Take a few bites to fill your stomach, your mother's in a bad mood..."
Xiaomi wolfed down a few bites, then looked at Su Yuanzheng and cried out, "Uncle, please save me! Save me!"
"Xiao Mi, who taught you to make face masks with insects?"
Xia Yutong looked at Su Yuanzheng and smiled, "That's right, I don't know who taught him that, maybe he just copied someone else..."
Su Yuanzheng felt subtly insulted again, and his guilt returned. He said gently, "Tongtong..."
"Uncle and Aunt, help! I'm so hungry!"
Su Qinglian returned after vomiting, even angrier than before. She felt as if insects had crawled all over her body. Even though she took a shower afterward, she still felt extremely nauseous.
"Su Xiaomi, come here."
"No, Uncle..."
Startled, Xiaomi scrambled to her feet and hid behind Su Yuanzheng, crying out, "Uncle, protect me!"
"Su Qinglian, that's enough. Besides, you didn't ask yourself if it was an insect, and Xiao Mi didn't lie."
"Get out of the way, Su Yuanzheng. It's none of your business how I discipline my child."
"Insects are high in protein, and Xiaomi was right."
"Well..." Xiaomi didn't know where she went wrong. "Mommy, it's so cute, such a good little bug."
"It's all your fault, Su Yuanzheng. She's just copying you. You used to scare her with bugs." Su Qinglian pointed at Xia Yutong. "Now even Xiao Mi is deliberately messing with me. I can't live like this anymore... They're all bullying me..."
