839: Chapter 839: Harm Others, Harm Yourself 839: Chapter 839: Harm Others, Harm Yourself Seeing An Hao and Zhang Guifang chatting so amicably, a fierce anger ignited within her.
Just as she was considering how to vent the frustrations of the other day, she heard An Hao say to Zhang Guifang, “The fish soup must be almost ready, bring over the enal basin!”
“Okay,” Zhang Guifang was about to get an enal basin from the cupboard, but Xin Ni rushed to get it first.
“Sister-in-law, let do it.
I’ll help out too.” After saying this, she swiftly fetched the enal basin and, turning around, walked over to An Hao.
Just as she was about to reach her, Xin Ni had a thought and pretended to trip, flinging herself towards An Hao!
“An Hao, be careful!” Zhang Guifang’s face went pale at the sight, frightened by the thought of the consequences if An Hao was pushed over—the fish soup was still simring on the stove.
An Hao, hearing Zhang Guifang call out to her, jerked her head around to see Xin Ni plunging towards her.
An Hao was startled and quickly dodged to the side.
Xin Ni had intended to pretend to fall, to push An Hao and cause her to spill the fish soup and get a good scalding.
But Zhang Guifang called out so quickly, and she hadn’t expected An Hao to react so swiftly and dodge upon hearing the shout.
Her plot had not succeeded, and as she tried to stop herself in ti, she realized it was too late.
With all her might, she had tried to push An Hao into the soup, but instead of pushing An Hao in, she pressed her own hand into the still boiling fish soup.
“Ah!” Xin Ni scread in agony, quickly pulling her hand out of the pot and crying, “It burns, it’s scalding!”
Zhang Guifang was shocked by the scene, unable to believe that Xin Ni could harbor such malicious intent, attempting to harm another but ending up harming herself instead.
“You really deserve this!
Heaven is watching; how co you didn’t get burned to death?
You little wretch!” Zhang Guifang said in shock and anger.
Xin Ni cried her heart out, the hand that had been scalded instantly blistering, which looked agonizingly painful.
“Stop howling!
Go run it under so cold water.” After speaking, An Hao grabbed Xin Ni’s hand and turned on the tap, letting the water gush over it.
If it were possible, she really didn’t want to bother, but if she didn’t, this hand might be beyond saving!
Hearing commotion in the kitchen, Li Zecheng and Qin Jian, who were chatting in the kitchen, quickly ca running.
Seeing Xin Ni’s hand scalded like that, Zecheng couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for his cousin: “What happened here?
How did you manage to do this to your hand in just two minutes in the kitchen?”
“You’ll have to ask her,” Zhang Guifang said with a sneer, “She was up to no good, intending to harm soone, but ended up hurting herself!”
“What do you an?” Li Zecheng asked.
“She was up to no good, wanting to push An Hao over so the fish soup would scald her, but she didn’t expect that An Hao would dodge and she ended up getting scalded herself,” Zhang Guifang said bluntly, exposing Xin Ni’s intentions in front of everyone.
“No, I really didn’t do that, don’t listen to her nonsense!” Xin Ni cried out, “I just wanted to pass the enal basin to Sister-in-law An Hao, but I twisted my ankle and fell towards her.
Luckily, she dodged quickly, and I got burned instead.
If I had actually burned her, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to the staff chief.” After speaking, she burst into another fit of sorrowful tears, crying as if she were deeply wronged.
Li Zecheng found himself unable to discern the truth between the conflicting accounts of his cousin and his wife.
