Nie Qianqian went out of Jishi Hall to exchange the banknotes. She took the 100 taels of white money directly into the space. She had money in her hands and felt at ease.
It was getting late, so she suppressed the urge to rush to the market to buy something and returned to Tiande Library. She bought a pot of tea at the tea stall in front of the library and drank it happily while waiting for Gu Xiao to "get off work".
When she came to town this time, Qianqian had changed her outfit, new clothes and shoes, her hair was neatly combed, and there were no big or small bags on her body, so she was clean and fresh.
Her small face has no decorations, it is beautiful and natural, without any carvings. She is dressed in coarse cloth and can hardly hide her beauty. The two strands of hair on her cheeks are gently blowing in the wind. With a bit of casualness, the students coming and going secretly look at her. A small village woman sitting at the door of the library.
When Gu Xiao went out, he saw such a scene. The girl was sitting leisurely at the tea stall, sipping tea leisurely, like a painting, beautiful without knowing it.
Nie Qianqian saw Gu Xiao, smiled, and waved her little hands to greet Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao's mood improved inexplicably, and he walked towards Qianqian.
Gu Xiao: "Why are you here?"
Nie Qianqian handed him a cup of tea and said, "I came to town today to sell some things." There were many people coming and going here, and she planned to talk to Gu Xiao about digging up Ganoderma lucidum when she got home.
Gu Xiao took the tea with his slender white fingers, smelled the fragrance first, then slowly took a sip of tea and gently put down the cup.
Nie Qianqian had the illusion that this was not a tea stall on the street, but a famous tea house in the capital. He was not a down-and-out scholar, but a young man from a noble family.
There is a kind of nobility about Gu Xiao, which is not hidden by his clothes, but radiates from the inside out.
A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. Gu Xiao was polite in his words and deeds. People would notice him at a glance even when he was in a crowd. Even when he was down and out, he still had a dignified temperament that could not be concealed. He was really just a man from a low-income family. A scholar?
Gu Xiao took out a clean cloth handkerchief and handed it to Nie Qianqian, "This is the money you spent on copying books these days. You can use it for household purposes."
Nie Qianqian opened it and saw that it cost 90 cents. She remembered that the last time she copied the book in three days, it only cost 60 cents. "Why are there so many this time?"
Gu Xiao took another sip of tea and said, "I copy more in the evenings these days." He thought that copying more would make Nie Qianqian less hard-working.
Although she was already a rich little woman with a net worth of one hundred taels, how could Nie Qianqian dislike the lack of money? She was still happily counting 90 pennies.
Her husband-in-law regularly provided money for the family. She had never experienced this feeling in her previous life. Needless to say, it was quite refreshing.
Gu Xiao's eyes fell on Nie Qianqian's smiling face, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: He is really a little money addict.
After the two drank tea, they walked slowly to the entrance of the town and boarded the ox cart back to the village.
When I returned to the village, I happened to meet Aunt Wang who was next door to the old house. Aunt Wang saw the two of them rolling their eyes and greeted them, "Qianqian! You should go back to the old house and take a look! Your father, Erzhuang, has returned to the village. Just now, my aunt saw him leading a large group of people from the Nie family towards the old house."
Nie Qianqian's heart thumped, she had been living so comfortably these days, how could she forget about her scumbag father.
Her legs and feet were faster than Gu Xiao's. She said something to Gu Xiao and ran towards the old house.
Gu Xiao looked cold and thought for a moment, "Aunt Wang, please do me a favor and go to Uncle Li Zheng's house to find Li Zheng. Gu Xiao will be very grateful afterwards."
Aunt Wang is a person who doesn't take things too seriously when watching the excitement. When she heard that there was a thank you gift, she said with a smile, "No problem, I'll take care of it. Go chase Qianqian. I think Er Zhuang's face is scary." , don’t let anything happen.”
Nie Erzhuang went home happily with the money, but as soon as he got home, his whole family sued him.
Mrs. Nie yelled in front of the whole family, scolding him for being useless and unable to control his mother-in-law and daughter. They stole money, disrespected her, and moved out of Nie's house.
After Mrs. Nie finished crying, it was her sister-in-law Liu Chunhua and her niece Nie Wenting. Naturally, the two of them would not point at his nose and scold him like Mrs. Nie did. Instead, they would cry loudly. Nie Wenting showed him the injury on her arm, tears streaming down her face.
"Second uncle, I kindly persuaded Qianqian to apologize to my grandmother and go home, but she actually started fighting with me. My arm, oh oh oh, it really hurts."
Liu Chunhua felt sorry for her daughter and spoke angrily to Nie Erzhuang, "I don't know what happened to Qianqian. It's like she's possessed by a demon. Her grandmother and sister dare to attack her. How can she do it in the future? We're all a family. Don't blame my sister-in-law. Erzhuang, can you still control this child?"
His sister-in-law treated him very kindly on weekdays. All the money he earned from working outside was handed over to Mrs. Nie. Mrs. Nie would give most of the money to Nie Wenye for school expenses. Liu Chunhua was naturally polite to him and also He has never been as harsh and harsh as he is today.
Nie Erzhuang has never thought that there is any problem with this. Nie Wenye is one of the few young people in the village who is studying. In the future, the entire family will support him. As an uncle, he will earn money to support his education. In the future, he will have a literary career. When he succeeds, he will be rewarded twice as much.
Nie Erzhuang was told by Liu Chunhua that he was extremely embarrassed. He was also raising a child. Nie Wenye was a well-educated and sensible person and would be a civil servant in the future, but Nie Qianqian was so unbearable.
He was embarrassed for a moment and then found a reason for himself. He goes out to work in the town every day and supports the family. Naturally, he has no time to discipline his children. Teaching children is the responsibility of Liu Yan. She can't give birth to a son and can't teach her children well. This kind of woman really deserves to be beaten.
At first, he was doubtful about what the whole family said. Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian's personalities were such that they couldn't even slap a fart in their face. How could they dare to do the things they said? Is there any misunderstanding? ?
But not long after this idea came up, it was dismissed by the accusations made by the whole family in tears. How could there be any misunderstanding? How could his mother and sister-in-law lie to him? They must have really done these extraordinary things.
How dare they?
Could it be that he had left home during this period and was less of a deterrent to the two of them, so he really followed the old saying of not having sex for three days?
Nie Erzhuang was very angry and felt that his dignity as the head of the small family had been challenged. The two of them didn't give him any face, and they also made him unable to hold his head up in front of the whole family.
Nie Erzhuang was angry and rushed to the old house with his whole family.
Nie Erzhuang expected to see Liu Yan and Nie Qianqian looking pitiful with neither food to eat, but when they arrived at the old house, they smelled the aroma of white rice and meat. The villagers were too sensitive to this smell, and the aroma was so intense that they could not eat. Drill into someone's nose.
The anger in his heart increased even more, almost reaching the top of his head. He was working hard in the town, and he still ate thick flour pancakes, but his mother-in-law was actually cooking rice and meat here! ! !
Are they worthy?
He rushed into the kitchen and saw rice, flour and a lot of pork on the floor.
Liu Yan was cooking when she turned around and saw Nie Erzhuang. Her heart trembled violently. She lost her grip on the bowl and fell to the ground.
Nie Erzhuang was very angry at being teased at Lao Nie's house. When he came to the old house and saw that Liu Yan had both rice and meat, he was even more furious. Before he could say a word, he made the first move, raised his thick arm, and slapped With a loud sound, she slapped Liu Yan on the face.
Liu Yan was slapped to the ground, her head buzzing. The crowd was already surrounding Liu Yan in the kitchen. When they saw Liu Yan being beaten, their round eyes filled with tears. This scene happened again.
He refrained from crying, but silently moved to Liu Yan's side without speaking, and gently stroked Liu Yan's beaten face with his small hands.
The Nie family had been holding their anger for the past few days, and finally felt relieved at this moment. They had spent so much time talking, didn't they just want to see this scene? No one had sympathy for Liu Yan.
Mrs. Nie looked sideways and snorted softly. Nie Wenting felt that the pain in her arm was not so bad, but she still felt uncomfortable. She was thinking about when Nie Qianqian would come back. What she wanted to see most was Nie Qianqian being slapped.
There was a contemptuous smile on Liu Chunhua's face, "Brothers and sisters, if I had known now, why bother then? You couldn't think about it for a moment and you did something wrong. We are all a family, and there is no overnight feud. Please take Qianqian Yatou and apologize to your mother and Wen Ting. , if everyone can forgive you, you can still go back to Lao Nie’s house and live a good life."
Nie Erzhuang watched Liu Yan fall to the ground, her face ashen, her lips pursed and silent, and she was even more annoyed: "Reply! Can't you hear what my sister-in-law said!"
Other people's mothers-in-law are like interpreters of flowers, while other people's mothers-in-law are just wooden piles.
Liu Yan's ears were still buzzing from the slap. What Nie Erzhuang and Liu Chunhua said couldn't be heard clearly, they sounded far and near.
She had some difficulty breathing, as if she had fallen to the bottom of the lake and was about to suffocate. Go back to Lao Nie’s house and live a good life? Is that kind of life called living?
In the days after moving out, Liu Yan felt more relaxed and happy than ever before. Although she lived in a leaky house, her family lived in harmony, which was called a good life.
But such good days have come to an end. It was like having a dream. The moment I met the Nie family, I woke up from the dream.
She suddenly felt that living was so tiring, and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness. The thought of committing suicide flashed through her mind.
But the next second she woke up, she couldn't die, she still had Qianqian and Tuanbao, she couldn't leave them behind.
Seeing that she was silent, Nie Erzhuang frowned deeper and deeper. Old Mrs. Nie said next to her, "Take these food and Liu Yan home first. If you have anything to say, we can talk to old Nie's house."
After hearing what Mrs. Nie said, Liu Chunhua immediately picked up the bag of white rice on the ground, and the others followed suit.
Liu Yan finally came to her senses when she saw a hand taking away the bag of white flour. Qianqian bought it for this family. No one can take it away!
She climbed up with difficulty, without raising her head or looking at the Nie family. She only stared at the bag of white flour. She followed Liu Chunhua out of the kitchen and reached out to grab the bag.
Liu Chunhua felt the bag in her hand tighten. She turned around and saw that it was Liu Yan who was pulling her. She screamed: "Liu Yan, let go! Are you crazy?"
Nie Erzhuang felt strong and wanted to hit someone again, but he saw Tuantuan, a small one, keeping in front of Liu Yan, "Tuan Tuan, get out of here!"
Tuantuan did not dare to raise his head and look at Nie Erzhuang, nor did he listen to Nie Erzhuang's words and run away. Nie Erzhuang was so angry that he stretched out his foot and kicked Tuantuan, kicking him away.
Nie Qianqian rushed to the old house. Because she was running fiercely and her heart was beating fast, she saw this scene when she arrived at the old house.
The yard was in a mess, with the daily necessities that Nie Qianqian had hoarded in the past few days scattered around, including new bedding, cotton, vegetables and meat. The white flour bag was torn open, and the white flour inside leaked out, splattering on the ground. .
Liu Yan's hair was disheveled and she was trembling all over. She was holding on to the bag of white flour with one hand, so hard that her joints turned white. There were clear fingerprints on the right side of his face. Half of his face was red and swollen. He didn't say a word and bit his lip to prevent tears from falling.
Tuantuan protects Liu Yan. The clothes that were clean in the morning are now wrinkled and covered with dust. There seem to be gray shoe marks on the clothes.
Nie Erzhuang had his back to her, pointing at Liu Yan and Tuantuan and cursing them.
Nie Qianqian's head exploded with a buzzing sound, her heart was twisted like a knife, and she felt that the blood in her body was boiling and rushing endlessly in her body.
This was her mother, the only relative who was kind to the original owner, the one who gave her warmth after she came to another world. The other was her Zaizai, the baby she cared for every day in the palm of her hand.
With a pale face, she pulled out a scalpel from the space and slashed it directly to Nie Erzhuang's back. Nie Erzhuang was scolding Liu Yan to let go of the bag of white flour when he felt a sharp pain behind him. He raised the knife and dropped it, and blood flowed from his back.
Nie Erzhuang: "Ah!!!"
Mrs. Nie almost fainted when she saw the blood, "Er Zhuang, Er Zhuang, are you okay?"
"Nie Qianqian?" Nie Erzhuang turned around and saw that it was his weak and incompetent daughter. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst into anger. He was already tall and strong, and his angry look was even more terrifying, like a roaring tiger.
Nie Erzhuang pointed at Nie Qianqian's nose and cursed: "You girl is really out of your mind and crazy. I don't want to beat you to death today!"
He originally thought that when he saw Nie Qianqian, he would give her a few slaps, but now, he had to beat her until she begged for mercy.
"You just hit my mother, didn't you?" Nie Qianqian asked with red eyes as her blood rushed to the top of her head.
Nie Erzhuang didn't expect that Nie Qianqian would dare to question him. He said this. He was used to being domineering at home. He thought it was normal to slap his mother-in-law or kick his daughter. When he was suddenly resisted, he couldn't help but get angry. .
"Hit! So what!"
Nie Qianqian didn't want to say another word to him. Her face was as cold as ice and her steps were ghostly. She took a few steps forward and used all her strength to slap Nie Erzhuang four times in the face. The force was so strong that it shocked her. Qianqian's hands were numb.
This kind of scumbag father still cares about filial piety.
Liu Chunhua caressed Mrs. Nie and exclaimed in shock: "Girl Qianqian, how can you do something to your own father!"
Nie Qianqian ignored the numbness in her hands, turned around and raised her hand to slap Liu Chunhua loudly in the face, her voice was crisp and cold, making people tremble, "Why did I tell you on the mountain, and now you have forgotten it? Stop meddling in other people’s business here.”
Nie Erzhuang deserves to die. If he doesn't protect his mother-in-law and children, the rest of the Nie family are as disgusting as bed bugs.
When Nie Wenting saw her mother being beaten, she said: "You..."
Before she finished speaking, Nie Qianqian gave Nie Wenting a buy-one-get-one-free deal, slapped her several times, and broke her other uninjured arm. Nie Wenting was caught off guard, and she was so slapped that stars appeared in her eyes, and she fell down directly. land.
Nie Erzhuang was completely confused. Was he slapped? ? ?
He is the man of this family, the god of this family, and yet he was slapped by his own useless daughter? ? ! !
Mrs. Nie was frightened when she saw Nie Qianqian today. She wanted to tear this unfilial son to pieces, but she could not speak for a long time with her lips pursed on her face.
Seeing the current situation, Nie Daqiang silently sneaked behind Liu Yan and Tuantuan, grabbed their collars with one hand, and shouted: "Niece Qianqian, we are all a family. If you have something to say, you can't say it properly, and you have to wield a knife and a gun. You put the knife away first!"
Nie Daqiang came to watch the fun. He is the eldest brother of the family. With a child like Nie Wenye, his status in the family is self-evident. He does not bother to get involved in trivial matters at home, such as how his younger brother disciplines his mother-in-law, and the intrigues in the woman's family.
But in the current situation, he had to take action, and his niece was even using a knife.
Nie Qianqian's eyes were cold and sharp, like a sharp knife, shooting at Nie Daqiang.
Everyone in the Nie family couldn't help but be shocked, how come Nie Qianqian's eyes were so terrifying now.
Nie Qianqian saw him holding Liu Yan and Tuantuan hostage and put away the knife.
So what if she didn't have a knife, she still used her fists and kicks to vent her bad breath.
She walked forward step by step, staring at Nie Daqiang with her eyes. Suddenly, her body changed, she accelerated, and her fist rushed directly towards Nie Daqiang's face.
Nie Daqiang couldn't dodge and received a solid punch. His nosebleed spurted out. He quickly let go of his hand to cover the nosebleed. As soon as he let go, Liu Yan fell directly to the ground, and was thrown down from the air, trying to hit him. ground.
Nie Qianqian turned around, turned sideways, and opened her hands to hug Tuantuan.
Nie Erzhuang recovered from the shock just now, and his face was in burning pain. What made him even more uncomfortable was that he was slapped by his own female doll. He was already furious at this moment, with no trace of reason left. He was full of All I can think about is beating this unfilial daughter to death.
Just when Nie Qianqian went to hug her, Nie Erzhuang picked up a thigh-thick wooden stick from the ground. Taking advantage of Nie Qianqian's change of body shape, he swung the stick at Nie Qianqian without any concern about whether she was Daughter.
Liu Yan saw the smashed wood root from the front, and tears burst into her eyes: Her beauty! ! !
But she was still lying on the ground and had no time to get up to protect him.
She watched desperately as the wooden stick enlarged in front of her eyes, and when it was about to hit Qianqian, a thin figure blocked behind Nie Qianqian, opened her arms to protect Nie Qianqian, and received the blow firmly.
Nie Qianqian felt a warm embrace surrounding her. She turned around and saw the wooden stick hitting his back.
"Gu Xiao??!!"
