It has been a month since Shengping and Xu Qiao last visited the Liang family to propose marriage.
But when Liang Qiushen met Sheng Ting, he couldn't help but recall the scene when Sheng Ping and his wife came to his home that day.
Consequently, he also didn't have a good impression of Sheng Ting.
His face was tense and a little cold.
Sheng Ting knew that Liang Qiushen's family was well-off and had plenty of food.
There are definitely a few eggs.
"Brother Liang..."
"No," Liang Qiushen waved his hand dismissively, "Don't call me 'brother,' I can't accept that."
What if calling her that causes a misunderstanding? Wouldn't I have to marry her?
Sheng Ting's rough hands tugged at the hem of her clothes.
Because of years of farm work, Sheng Ting's fingers have black stains that can't be washed off, and her finger flesh is also cracked, with stains that can't be washed out.
The clothes he wore were patched and mended, making him look very shabby.
He was also timid by nature.
Looking at it this way, she can't even compare to the former Sheng Qian.
"I... I want to borrow five eggs. Don't worry, I'll return them soon..." Sheng Ting whispered, pleading for help.
Liang Qiushen frowned in disgust: "No."
“I know the Liang family has five, no more.” Thinking of the rattan canes in the hands of her family members, her face turned pale and her legs trembled.
With a determined look in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't lend it to me, I'll go to your house and make a scene until you agree to lend it to me."
Liang Qiushen's face instantly darkened, and he angrily cursed, "Shameless!"
Anyway, they've already been called shameless.
Faced with the choice between being scolded and being beaten, Sheng Ting chose to be scolded.
“I only need 5 eggs. If Brother Liang can’t make that decision, I’ll go and talk to Aunt Liang and Uncle Liang myself.”
Having said that, he was about to walk past Liang Qiushen.
Liang Qiushen pulled the person back with one hand.
Sheng Ting was thin and fell to the ground with a pull, scraping her hand.
Sheng Ting quickly got up.
Liang Qiushen looked at her and said through gritted teeth, "I can lend you the money, but you have to do me a favor."
Sheng Ting looked up, revealing a pair of bright eyes, "You said you would help me as long as it's within my power."
If she could borrow five eggs by helping out and avoid being beaten, Sheng Ting agreed without hesitation.
Liang Qiushen's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He told Sheng Ting to wait while he went back and got five eggs for her.
Sheng Ting reached out to take it with delight, but Liang Qiushen raised his hand and reminded her, "Remember, you owe me a favor."
“I remember,” Sheng Ting said, her eyes fixed on the egg in his hand. “Don’t worry, I won’t break my promise.”
“If you dare to break your promise, I have many ways to make you pay for it,” Liang Qiushen said, before handing her the five eggs wrapped together with straw.
Sheng Ting took it and ran away quickly.
If Xu Qiao and the others suffer a loss, they will definitely seek revenge on her.
Xu Qiao couldn't produce any eggs, so people from another village grabbed her by the hair and beat her. If Sheng Ting hadn't brought the eggs in time, these people would have broken into the Sheng family and taken their valuables.
With a swollen, red face and messy hair, Xu Qiao sat on the ground and wailed.
She felt extremely wronged.
The villagers who had taken the eggs and money all left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to mock the Sheng family for being useless.
He can't even control a little girl.
Sheng Ping was so angry that he trembled all over.
Sheng Li was alright; he handed over the money quickly. Apart from being torn apart and injured outside, he wasn't attacked by those people once he entered the village.
Luo Minjuan knew that Sheng Ping and the others had suffered a loss and would definitely be angry, so she quickly pulled Sheng Guanhua and Sheng Li home and locked the door from the inside.
"Stop crying, all you do is cry. Who told you to boil the eggs? You useless wretch."
Sheng Ping suppressed his anger and vented it all on Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao was kicked and fell backward.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Ping grabbed a wooden stick and started hitting her.
Sheng Ting looked at Xu Qiao, who had been beaten, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Xu Qiao was beaten so badly, she would definitely be beaten even more severely in the end. Sheng Ting's lips turned white, and she shrank her thin body. At this moment, she wanted to escape, but she was too scared to move.
When Sheng Muchen saw Xu Qiao being beaten, he didn't stop her at all, and even joined Sheng Ping in blaming Xu Qiao.
However.
People like Xu Qiao, who have never received an education, have long been assimilated.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her husband hitting her or her son scolding her.
Xu Qiao is the epitome of women in this era.
Most women hold the same deeply ingrained ideas as Xu Qiao.

Sheng Qian returned home from the coal mine at 7:30 p.m.
She also had to prepare some medicinal food to nourish herself. She had been too busy lately. Although she hadn't stopped exercising, she was exhausted from all the various tasks.
It's only right to prepare a medicinal meal to nourish yourself.
I don't know if it was the medicine and food that smelled so good or some other aroma that attracted the stray cats outside.
As Sheng Qian was eating, a commotion came from outside the window.
At first, I thought it was man-made.
Sheng Qian turned and walked towards the kitchen, where she saw a huge wild cat sitting on the windowsill, its golden eyes staring at her powerfully.
It has thick, bushy fur, a large body, and looks quite "fierce".
A gust of wind blew in from outside the window.
Blow the wind to make its fur flow like the shimmering luster of silk.
Sheng Qian was very surprised.
How could there be Maine Coon cats here!
"go out."
Sheng Qian pointed to the wide-open window behind it.
It looked at Sheng Qian, but was not frightened. Instead, it leaped to the ground, its powerful legs landing and shaking its black and blue fur. The scene was as beautiful as black and blue waves rising!
This cat was like a boss among cats, with a fierce wildness in every move, which made Sheng Qian feel that this cat was different.
