Fast Travel Strategy: Female Supporting Counterattack Manual

Chapter 212 Stepmother Difficulty (4)

After all, the old lady of the Qi family failed to stop Lao Zhangtou and his old daughter Zhang Shi from taking wheat flowers home. She was so angry that she beat her son several times with a cane.

Qi Yangui knew his mother's temper, that is, the more you resisted her, the angrier she would get, so he just stood there like a dead person who didn't feel it, and let her beat her.

When the old lady of the Qi family saw him looking like he was dying, her head suddenly became dizzy, she held on to the wall and started to curse.

Qi Yangui stood in front of his mother, listening to her repeatedly scolding his father who died early as a short-lived ghost, scolding himself as mud and useless things that could not hold up the wall, scolding his daughter-in-law who had just died in childbirth as a fool, a rotten beggar, and so on. What she said was that she had the hardest time alone.It was a good family, but now suddenly the older one was gone and the younger one was gone too. He was also angry in his heart, but after all, it was the widowed mother who pulled and beat him. He frowned a few times and then let go.

The people watching outside the door didn't want to help clean up the dead people in the Qi family, so they left quickly when Lao Zhangtou and his family left.

Among the onlookers, there were still some conscientious people who spoke up for Lao Zhangtou, saying that he was a kind-hearted person and that although he had a bad temper, he still had a conscience and a sense of responsibility.

After all, the grandma of the Qi family is notoriously harsh on her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.Although there are mothers-in-law with bad relationships in this village, there has never been one like Lao Nai from the Qi family who drags her daughter-in-law to the fields to plant rice within a few days of giving birth.Also, there are grandmothers who don’t like their granddaughters, but no one will beat her to death just because she accidentally touched her new clothes, or pour boiling water down her throat after eating a piece of meat residue in the pot. .

"Mother of the child, cook and eat quickly, we are all starving to death." Old Zhangtou started to shout as soon as he reached the gate of the yard.

The grandma of the Zhang family is notoriously tough in the village. Mai Hua'er saw her quarreling with the daughter-in-law of another family from a distance, and made each other cry. She thought that she would see the grandma of the Zhang family soon. , I was a little scared.

Shi Yimin noticed that her little hands were shaking, and squatted down to coax her and said: "My mother is fine, just treat her as your grandma, and tell her whatever she wants to eat. Her cooking is delicious." ”

"What are you two father and daughter doing today? No one was there when you shouted for dinner at noon, but now you are shouting that you are hungry." Zhang's grandma walked out from the kitchen door, and Mai Hua'er saw that her head was wrapped Huabu, who was holding the noodles in his hands, felt that he wasn't so scared anymore.

"Isn't this child from that old Qi's family?" Grandma Zhang looked at Mai Hua'er suspiciously, then turned her gaze to Shi Yi and asked her to answer.

"I hit it off with this child, and I'll take her here for a few days." Shi Yi knew that Mai Hua'er was still afraid, so he took her hand and walked into the house step by step.

"You old lady, you talk too much, nothing is as important as eating, and everything will be discussed after eating." Old Zhangtou smashed the sickle into the crack of the brick, and lavishly went to the well.

Every day after finishing work, he must take a bath with cold water drawn from the well. This is a habit he has persisted for more than 60 years.

Seeing that the man in charge had let go, Zhang's grandma didn't dare to ask no matter how many doubts she had in her heart. She glanced suspiciously at Shi Yi and Mai Hua'er who entered the room, and dragged her noodles into the kitchen again.

"You, sleep with me from now on." Shi Yi took Mai Hua'er into his room, and pointed to the big carved bed that Mai Hua'er had never seen before.

"It's so beautiful." When Mai Hua'er stepped into the room, she felt very embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the floor to get in, because everything in the room was clean and seemed to be shining, but she was dirty all over. Xi's fingernails were also full of dirty mud.She felt like she was polluting the room with every step she took.

In fact, the room Shi Yi lives in now is not considered a grand place at all.Conditions in rural areas are limited, and the ground is only polished concrete. In the room, apart from the carved bed, there are a few white-painted cabinets and desks, and a wooden mirror inlaid with a mirror made by the old man himself. dresser.But this condition is already one of the best in this village, especially the old Zhang family built a small one-story house instead of a house with earthen walls.

"I'll find some clothes for you, you wear mine first." Shi Yi was busy arranging Mai Hua'er's life at home, and didn't have time to notice Mai Hua'er's embarrassment and absence.

"No, I can just wear my own clothes." Mai Hua'er's eyes were still wandering around the furnishings in the room, full of envy. After a while, she lost her temper and said, "I will take your clothes off." It’s dirty, and the room will be dirty too.”

Aunt Zhang was so kind to her. If she soiled Aunt Zhang's things, she would feel uncomfortable for the rest of her life.

Shi Yi found a few short shirts of her own and compared them with Mai Hua'er. The short and thin Mai Hua'er was just right in this short shirt like a skirt, and she smiled with satisfaction, "You, little one Baby, I worry too much. Your Auntie Zhang doesn’t have many things, except this old clothes. Also, the rooms upstairs are empty. If you are not used to sleeping with me, go upstairs to sleep alone. it is also fine."

"But I'm too dirty." Mai Hua'er looked up at her, with tears rolling in her extremely clear eyes.

Since she was a child, no one has ever cared so much about her or treated her so well, not even her own mother.

"There's no such thing as dirty, just wash it. After eating, I'll give you a bath." Shi Yi patted her thin and thin head, and pretended to reprimand: "If you say that you are dirty again in the future , I'm not happy."

"I've never slept in such a big, wide, and beautiful bed." Mai Hua'er's eyes were fixed on the big carved bed.She thought it must be very soft and warm to sleep on.

In the family, only my grandmother and father slept on the kang made of cement.When the grandmother allowed father and mother to sleep, the mother who was laying the floor in the room could sleep on the cement kang.And all she slept at home was hay next to the pigsty. It was very humid in winter, and the tattered cotton wool did not keep warm. Every night she huddled tightly in the corner. When it was extremely cold, she could only fall asleep holding the piglets. .

Seeing the fascination in Mai Hua'er's eyes, Shi Yi suggested, "Do you want to lie down now?"

This was undoubtedly a temptation for Mai Hua'er. Her eyes lit up for a moment, but she looked down at her dirty clothes and torn shoes with exposed toes, shook her head vigorously, and said loudly: "No."

"Duplicate little thing." Shi Yi picked her up and threw her on the big bed.

Mai Hua'er instantly fell into the warm quilt, feeling as if she was in the clouds, and she was about to float with happiness.
