Chapter 25: Unfilial, Shameless
Xiao Ai stopped what she was doing and stared at her in silence. The woman gave a fake smile and introduced herself: "You don't know me, do you? I'm your second aunt, and your second uncle Shi Yunpeng is my man."
After saying that, she stared at the glass cup with tea leaves in it and couldn't help but sigh again: "Oh, just put these two tea leaves in it, put more, put more."
Shi Xiaoai looked at her coldly and said, "Pay first and then pour the water. Three cents a cup."
Zhao Cuihong was obviously stunned when she heard this, and she explained again in disbelief: "Hey, you didn't hear clearly, right? I'm your aunt! Your second aunt!"
Shi Xiaoai's expression showed a hint of impatience: "I don't have any second aunt, and we don't try to make connections here. It's three cents a cup, pay first and then I'll make the tea."
Zhao Cuihong was immediately annoyed.
She slammed her hand on the table and cursed, "I knew it! I knew you did it on purpose. You recognized me a long time ago, didn't you? This is not just not knowing me, this is simply a person who has no respect for his elders!"
It has been so many days since you came back from the countryside. Your uncle has been waiting for you at home every day, thinking that you must go home to see him. Who would have thought that after waiting for so many days, you didn't even show up!
Your uncle was furious, and I tried to persuade him, saying you were young and didn't know the proper etiquette. An elder shouldn't argue with a child. I heard you opened a tea stand today, so I came to see you. But you're so unkind! You don't even greet your elders. You even ask me for money for a glass of water? How unfilial! How did your parents teach you to be so kind?
Zhao Cuihong felt that she was right and spoke with confidence.
Not only did he speak in a high-pitched voice, but he also slammed the table loudly, as if he was afraid that others couldn't hear or see him.
The tea stall opened today for the first time, so it already had a lot of attention. Even people who weren't there to drink would occasionally glance over.
Seeing someone looking for trouble, all those who loved to watch the fun came running over and soon surrounded the place in three layers, blocking the road.
Seeing more and more people gathering, Zhao Cuihong became more excited and acted like a shrew, talking about her theories back and forth with saliva flying all over the place.
His expression was ferocious, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Shi Xiaoai ignored her.
She gathered the two obviously frightened children behind the table. Knowing they would not want to sit and wait, she had them stand closest to the edge of the tent and instructed them, "Stand still here. Don't go over to help. Don't cause trouble for your mother."
Mingrui tightly grasped her hand and said angrily, "Mom, I can help you! I'm going to beat her to death!"
"No need." Shi Xiaoai said as she grabbed Mingxi, who was about to run out with the fire rod while she wasn't paying attention, and handed her to her son: "You're helping me by keeping an eye on Xiaoxi and not letting her run around."
After saying that, he glared at his daughter warningly.
After arranging the arrangements for the brother and sister, Shi Xiaoai walked up to the table again and said coldly, "I don't know what uncle or aunt is. I only know that all my relatives died a long time ago. Who knows where you came from to impersonate me?"
Although she said this in a calm tone, it was really unpleasant to hear, especially the sentence "They all died a long time ago" which directly hit Zhao Cuihong in the lungs.
She was so angry that she jumped up and cursed, "Bullshit! Shi Xiaoai, you are denying your ancestors! Who taught you this? Your parents? It's a good thing they died early, otherwise they would have raised a child like you who was not well-educated. Your ancestors would slap them in the face in the underworld!"
If she hadn't mentioned the original owner's parents, Shi Xiaoai wouldn't have made a big deal out of it and would have just driven them away. After all, this was her first day in business.
But Zhao Cuihong's words were too harsh, and she unscrupulously exposed Shi Xiaoai's sore spot.
She would never allow anyone to insult the only elders she recognized in this world!
Without saying a word, she walked out from behind the table, grabbed Zhao Cuihong by the back of the neck and pulled her out of the tent.
Although Zhao Cuihong was not fat, she was at least 1.6 meters tall. When Shi Xiaoai grabbed her like that, she couldn't even struggle, as if her hands and feet were tied.
When they saw the two of them coming out, although Xiao Ai's face remained unchanged, there seemed to be murderous intent in her expression, which made people feel cold in their hearts. All the onlookers subconsciously stepped back several steps and left a space for them outside the tea stall.
Shi Xiaoai walked to the middle of the open space, released the hand that was grabbing Zhao Cuihong's collar, and without waiting for her to catch her breath, grabbed her clothes by her chest. Then, with her free hand, she slapped her face left and right, crackling several times!
The slap was crisp and loud, and after a few snaps, Zhao Cuihong instantly turned into a pig's head!
I was stunned.
It took her a while before she started to howl, and then she began to struggle desperately.
Everyone was also shocked by these sudden slaps. For a moment, there was silence. Only Zhao Cuihong's shouting could be heard in the huge venue.
People looked at Shi Xiaoai in awe, not understanding how her thin and even sickly body could have such great strength!
She didn't seem to use much strength, but Zhao Cuihong pulled and tugged like crazy, and her clothes were almost torn to pieces, but she couldn't break free from her restraints.
Zhao Cuihong was really confused. She never expected that she would be treated like this today.
Her face was burning, her ears were buzzing, and her eyes were so swollen that she could hardly open them.
She actually didn't dare to make any more noise at this moment. She just wanted to break free quickly and not let Shi Xiaoai hold her anymore.
But Xiao Ai's hands looked so small but so strong, as if they were made of iron. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
Zhao Cuihong was almost going crazy. She opened her mouth and bit the back of the hand!
Shi Xiaoai looked at Zhao Cuihong with disdain, then slashed her neck with a knife. Her face, which was still open, suddenly froze, and her body went limp like noodles, collapsing at Shi Xiaoai's feet.
This scene shocked everyone around, and many of them subconsciously closed their eyes, and the sound of gasping for breath came one after another.
The people who were just chatting and watching the fun with great joy now had dull expressions, and the smiles on their faces turned into horror.
There is no one left to gossip.
Shi Xiaoai finally spoke at this time.
"These slaps are for your bad mouth. Who are you to say what kind of people my parents are? You don't even deserve to mention them!"
Staring at Zhao Cuihong who had collapsed into a puddle, Shi Xiaoai spoke word by word.
"You said you were my elder. What elder? An elder whose relationship was severed twenty years ago?"
Shi Xiaoai sneered, her eyes icy: "You said you were my uncles and aunts, but where were you brothers and your wives when my parents passed away? Did anyone come to light incense and burn paper for them?
You're accusing me of disrespecting my elders and arguing with me about etiquette. I've been in the countryside for ten years, and have you two elders ever written me a letter or sent me a penny? Have you ever intervened in my marriage or childbirth? Have you ever asked about my return to the city? You've ignored me for decades, and now you're arguing with me about kinship etiquette. Are you kidding me?
Xiao Ai paused when he said this, and when he looked at Zhao Cuihong again, there was only contempt on his face.
She chuckled and said sarcastically, "How dare you say such a thing as disrespecting our ancestors!"
At this point, she glanced around and deliberately raised her voice, "When it comes to disrespecting our ancestors, who in the world can compare to your family? To save money, you threw your own father's ashes into the crematorium and ran away! You're so shameless and unfilial, if your family is second to none, no one else dares to claim first place!"
