Chapter 278 The Cold-Hearted Brother——Chu Yue Niang 5
"Yes! Where is my refined rice?" Mrs. Chu felt that since she had run out of white flour, she might not have refined rice either.
"I, I'll eat it..." Chu Liucui was interrupted by Xihe before she could finish her words.
"I ate it."
"You ate it???" Mrs. Chu's voice broke, and she picked up the stick on the ground and wanted to hit Xihe again.
"What's wrong? He, Chu Mingzhi, is your grandson, and so am I! And I'm younger than him."
"If he eats the refined rice and white flour, I can eat it too."
"Can you be like him? He is the male in the family and is supposed to carry on the family line. What can you do?" Mrs. Chu felt very sad just thinking about those good things being ruined by the dead girl.
"You are also a woman, there is no point in you living, you should just die soon!" What a stupid habit, have you forgotten your gender as you live?
"How dare you curse your elders to death?" Old Man Chu's face suddenly changed, and his voice was filled with obvious anger and majesty. It was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with Xihe's words.
"Hehe, who heard it?" Xihe didn't care. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an indifferent smile.
Her tone was frivolous, with a hint of provocation and disdain, and she didn't take Old Man Chu's anger seriously at all.
"Chu Yue Niang, don't go too far! Don't forget that you are the youngest in the family and should respect your elders." Old man Chu suppressed the anger in his heart, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction and warning, trying to use his status as an elder to suppress Xihe.
However, Xihe just smiled coldly and didn't care about his anger at all.
"So you also know that I'm the youngest in the family. I thought you were blind!"
"Chu Yue Niang, he is your grandfather." Chu Tianquan couldn't bear it anymore when he heard Xihe's words getting more and more excessive, and he yelled at Xihe.
"He's your grandfather." Xihe glanced at him with disdain and said sarcastically, "When you were doing nothing, you didn't remember that you were the elders. Now that we've rebelled, you realize you're the elders again."
"When it comes to shamelessness, you are the best."
Chu Tianquan and his parents both heard that Xihe was resentful of them for being partial to Chu Mingzhi.
Looking at Chu Liucui who was agreeing with them, they felt a pang in their hearts. They couldn't let that silly girl continue talking, otherwise Chu Liucui would also have other thoughts, and then she would not devote herself to her parents' home wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, Old Man Chu sighed and said, "Yue Niang, I know you feel wronged, but these are the only things we have at home, and we also want to give them to you and your aunt."
"But, isn't it that our family's financial situation doesn't allow it?" Old Man Chu pretended to wipe his eyes before continuing, "If you really resent us, just slap us a few times to vent your anger!"
"Don't blame us for being partial to Zhier. We just thought that having a scholar in the family would make your marriage easier in the future, didn't we?"
"When you go to your husband's house, you will have a nephew and brother with honors. Will you not be wronged in your husband's house?"
After Old Man Chu said this, the others felt relieved. The old man's words were very good. They didn't have to worry about them making trouble again.
"Oh! That sounds really nice. Old man, it would be a shame for you if you don't go to tell stories." Chu Liucui, a little girl, might have felt warm in her heart after hearing this, but Xihe did not feel warmed, but felt disgusted instead.
It took him a lot of effort to let the two of them continue to be nuclear-powered donkeys.
"I'm speaking the truth." Old man Chu's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that his granddaughter would think of this.
"What you said is bullshit. You just want us to work like slaves for this family." Xihe refuted him bluntly: "You treat us like servants now, and you still talk about the future? Bullshit."
"Do you really think I know nothing? He needs so much writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone to study. He treats us as servants now, but he will marry us off in the future to collect betrothal gifts and continue to support him."
"What if he doesn't pass the exam? We'll have to continue contributing money and effort." Xihe ignored their murderous looks and continued, "Perhaps even our own children will be forced to work like slaves for him."
"Being your daughter is such a misfortune. We didn't get to share in the blessings. Instead, we'll be stuck with him, this burden, for the rest of our lives."
Every word Xihe said was heartbreaking, making Old Man Chu and the others look very unhappy.
She has so much resentment in her heart that once she leaves this home, she may never come back.
"That's enough, it's no big deal. It's just some refined rice and flour. Zhi'er can eat it, and so can Yue Niang and the others."
"You old woman, you are the same. They are your family. Why would you make such a fuss?"
Although every word Old Man Chu said was addressed to Mrs. Chu, Xihe knew that those words were meant for himself.
"But, but Zhier..." Mrs. Chu wanted to argue a few more words, but when she saw the serious expression on Old Man Chu's face, she swallowed her words back.
"If you don't have those things anymore, you won't buy them or exchange them. Are you satisfied only when your home is torn apart?" Old Man Chu whispered in her ear.
"I feel sorry for Zhier too. He has suffered so much..." Mrs. Chu muttered softly.
"I told you not to say any more, but you still keep talking. Are you going to make trouble again?" Old Man Chu was almost mad. He didn't want her to say any more, but she kept talking.
"Okay, is it not okay for me to talk more?" Mrs. Chu walked towards the kitchen angrily.
After entering, she saw the white flour cakes on the chopping board and started to grumble again: "What a damned little girl! They can eat all these good things."
Her voice could be heard outside. Xihe smiled coldly at Old Man Chu and went into the kitchen.
"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive." Old Man Chu was afraid that Xihe would smash the kitchen or beat Mrs. Chu, so he hurried to catch up.
Xihe entered the kitchen and picked up the white flour pancake on the chopping board.
"What are you doing with them?" Mrs. Chu asked in surprise when she saw Xihe's actions.
"Don't you like them? I'll take them away for you right now."
"You silly girl." Mrs. Chu was already angry when she heard this, and she became even angrier when she heard what Xihe said.
"Bang!" Xihe picked up the kitchen knife and chopped directly on the chopping board, splitting the solid wood chopping board into two.
"Go on cursing. Let me see if your bones are that hard." Seeing the kitchen knife right in front of her, Mrs. Chu immediately became timid.
"No, I won't curse anymore. I won't curse again..." Everyone is afraid of death, and she is no exception.
"Hmph." Xihe walked out of the kitchen carrying the white flour.
"Come, little aunt, if Chu Mingzhi can eat it, so can we. Here you go." Xihe came to Chu Liucui and handed her a white flour cake.
"Thank you, Yue Niang."
