Chapter 11: Walking with my sister
Zhang struggled for a few times and then got up from the ground, her face flushed red.
She pointed at Li Qingqing's nose and cursed: "You bitch, how dare you push me!"
Li Qingqing's eyes flashed with contempt, and her voice was calm and emotionless: "Didn't you fall down by yourself?"
It’s no wonder that Li Qingqing was angry. It was bad enough that Zhang targeted her, but she even abused two children who were only a few years old.
Don’t think she didn’t see it when we came back just now. Both the big and small eyes were still red, obviously they had been crying!
There were also red marks on his face, which showed that he had been beaten before!
Not to mention that they had never been allowed to sit at the table for a meal in the past half month, even the bowl of porridge that was occasionally served to the three of them was not as thick as the rice soup she had drunk in her previous life.
One can imagine what kind of life the original owner and his two younger sisters lived in the past.
In the past half month, Zhang often scolded her, but she endured it.
On the one hand, she is weak and needs care, and on the other hand, she wants to see if this family can accommodate her.
But I didn't expect Zhang to be so bad and disgusting!
Li Qingqing was so annoyed that she really wanted to beat Zhang up to vent her anger!
The two little guys hid behind her, huddled close to her, obviously terrified.
Li Qingqing looked at Zhang coldly. She didn't want Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang to see her going berserk.
Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang are still young, and she doesn’t want to teach them bad things.
Zhang was so angry that she was shaking. She had been angered by that woman in the yard before, and was mocked by Wang Dasao. The stubborn girl who had always been submissive actually pushed her to the ground!
Zhang was furious! Her face turned pale.
"Good fellow! How dare you hit me? You bitch, you're really outrageous!"
As she said that, she raised her hand and rushed over, wanting to slap Li Qingqing.
Li Qingqing slightly turned sideways and easily avoided Zhang's attack, causing Zhang to use too much force and fall into the straw pile.
Zhang cried out in pain and tried to get up again, but this time she sprained her ankle.
She was so angry that she sat on the straw pile and cursed without thinking.
A piece of broken straw stuck in her hair swayed slightly, as if keeping the rhythm of her saliva.
"You dare to hit me? You ungrateful bastard! I raised you with great difficulty, and you dare to treat your elders like this!"
"You lazy, lazy bitch, I really shouldn't have kept you in the first place!"
"You're such a jinx! Not only did you bring your mother to death, but you also brought two worthless girls into the Zhang family!"
"If I don't marry you off soon, you'll bring bad luck to the grandson in Shao's belly!"
Li Qingqing looked at Zhang's exasperated expression and sneered in her heart. She was too lazy to fight back against Zhang's crazy criticism.
But those eyes, as black as stone, became colder as Zhang kept yelling and cursing.
She stared at Zhang with a calm expression: "Grandma, it's getting late, you should go and get some rest!"
Zhang cursed with great enthusiasm, one curse after another. It was the perfect time for her to perform well.
When he suddenly heard Li Qingqing's words that were as cold as ice, and then met her frosty eyes, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were suddenly stuck in his throat.
Li Qingqing didn't tolerate her and dragged Zhang up from the ground and pushed her out the door: "Grandma, go and have a good rest!"
Zhang was pushed and staggered a few steps before she could stand steady. She looked at Li Qingqing in astonishment, as if she had not expected that Li Qingqing, who was usually submissive, would be so tough.
They are completely different people!
She widened her eyes and was about to speak when Li Qingqing interrupted her coldly: "Stop rambling!"
Zhang was so frightened by Li Qingqing's aura that she was speechless for a moment.
In the darkness of the night, Zhang felt that Li Qingqing's face was a little strange. She panicked and ran back to the main house angrily.
Li Qingqing rearranged the straw pile and shared a steamed bun with the two little ones before going to sleep.
The weather in May changes suddenly. In the middle of the night, it started raining without us noticing, and the rain continued until morning.
At lunch, Zhang only prepared food for herself and Shao, and did not prepare anything for Li Qingqing and the other three, saying that it was raining and they would have nothing to eat if they didn't work.
Li Qingqing didn't care. As long as she was there, the two little guys would never starve.
Looking at the drizzling rain, Li Qingqing thought that Zhou Yimo would not send anyone to propose marriage today.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, just after the rain stopped for a while, Zhou the matchmaker came to the door.
"So, it's the Zhou family from Lihua Village who wants to marry my daughter, Daya?" Zhang heard Zhou the matchmaker say it twice and still couldn't believe it was true.
After getting Zhou the matchmaker's approval, Zhang was overjoyed.
Who said Daya can't get married because of the rash on her face? Look, someone has come to propose marriage to her.
"Five taels of silver!"
Because Zhang had been offended by a woman from another village yesterday, and since the other party came to propose marriage so eagerly, she asked for a huge sum of money.
"Just give me five taels of silver and you can take the person away immediately!"
"Ms. Zhang, my nephew Zhou's family isn't well off, so I'm afraid he can't afford such a large gift! Didn't you say last time that you only wanted one or two ounces of silver as a gift?"
Matchmaker Zhou always speaks well of the Zhou family.
Today, Zhou's mother repeatedly asked her to facilitate this marriage. She also wanted to get things done, but unexpectedly, Zhang suddenly raised the price!
Don’t think she doesn’t know about the dispute between Zhang and the woman from another village yesterday?
Now that someone has finally taken a fancy to the girl from the Zhang family, Zhang is taking advantage of it.
Matchmaker Zhou felt extremely contemptuous.
"Last time was last time, but today is different. If your nephew Zhou really wants to marry me, he must pay me five taels of silver, not a penny less!" Zhang shouted loudly.
Li Qingqing had been following their conversation since Zhou the matchmaker arrived. After hearing them deadlocked for a long time, she walked out of the thatched hut.
She stood on the threshing floor in front of the main house and shouted to the main room:
"When I marry into the Zhou family, I must take Dashuang and Xiaoshuang with me!"
When matchmaker Zhou heard this, she thought to herself, "How could this family be so crazy? How could a married woman bring her younger sister to live in her husband's family?"
When Zhang heard that Li Qingqing had come out to discuss marriage on her own, she instinctively cursed, "You are so shameless! How can you discuss your own marriage? Get out of here!"
"Could Mrs. Zhou please ask Aunt Zhou first if the Zhou family is willing to accept Dashuang and Xiaoshuang as adoptive children?"
Li Qingqing ignored Zhou and continued to speak to Zhou the matchmaker.
She made this impromptu decision this morning.
Originally, she wanted to solve her own problems first, and then solve the problems of Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang.
But today it seems that she can only leave the Zhang family with Dashuang and Xiaoshuang.
After all, there is some distance between Zhangjia Village and Lihua Village. If something happens to Dashuang and Xiaoshuang, she will not be able to get there in time.
When the original owner was young, she was raised by Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang's biological mother. After their biological mother died, she took the two children away to avoid being abused by Zhang, which was also a way of repaying the original owner.
As for Zhang, she owes him money first.
