Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Female Lead Asks for dicine (1)_1 Chapter 50: Chapter 50: The Female Lead Asks for dicine (1)_1 The team had not yet brought electricity to the village, and every household used kerosene. Although it wasn’t expensive, it still cost several mao every month.
After speaking, Liu i picked up the unfinished al of Xiu Cheng and chased after him. She still loved her own son dearly and couldn’t bear the thought of him actually going hungry.
By the ti she finished coaxing and feeding Xiu Cheng, Xiu Xi had also co back from outside.
She truly despised this stepson of hers, wishing he would die outside and never co back ho to bother her sight or take up the family’s space. Now that she saw him return, she imdiately cursed, “Oh, look who knows to co back to our house, the little bastard. You’ve been loafing around all day, did you manage to make sothing of yourself?”
“Oh, I almost forgot, you like the Ruan family so much, don’t you? Why not change your surna to Ruan and move next door? I can see that for our ho, there’s no place for… you… why are you staring at like that?!” Toward the end, Liu i’s voice faltered, the way Xiu Xi stared at her like prey made her skin crawl.
She rembered the year she entered this family; Xiu Xi was just a little brat. She could hit, scold, pinch him, and he wouldn’t tattle or cry. He didn’t even know how to hide, like a fool; he was simply at her rcy.
She tornted him for more than five years and didn’t understand what had suddenly changed recently.
He looked the sa as before, but his eyes had suddenly beco terrifying. Sotis, when she was under his gaze, she felt like she was going to be devoured alive, it was eerily strange.
Could it be that he developed a problem after she hit him with that iron ladle last ti?
Thinking about that incident made Liu i’s heart tremble.
She hated the bastard and wished him dead, but preferably outside, not by her hand.
During her last outburst, she had smashed an iron ladle on his head. He had been bleeding profusely and lay on the ground for half a day without moving. She thought she had killed him and was frightened out of her wits, unsure what to do. Then, suddenly, he stood up with a forehead covered in blood.
It was from that mont that his gaze started to beco frightening.
Every ti he moved around in this house, he was like a lonely ghost, silent and invisible. It was very sinister.
If it weren’t for the fact that he could still eat and sleep, she would have suspected he was a ghost!
Now being stared at by him, she felt the terror returning. Fortunately, the kid did not stare at her for too long. He turned and went back to his room, and she couldn’t be bothered to check if he had eaten. Grumbling about why he didn’t die outside, she went back to the kitchen.
After the Ruan family finished their dinner, Mrs. Ruanlin began to fetch water for Ruan Jiaojiao to wash her face and feet. Ruan Jiaojiao was still too small to even carry the heavy basin, and couldn’t wring out the washcloth, so she had to wait for Mrs. Ruanlin to wash and groom her.
Once cleaned up, Mrs. Ruanlin told her to go to bed and called Ruan Jie to stay with her, while she went to the backyard to work. She counted the chickens and ducks every day before letting them into the coop and also wanted to make sure no eggs were missed.
Just as she was collecting the eggs, she noticed a hen had gone to look for food, and so of the eggshells were cracked. She was pleased thinking there would be more chickens this year to lay eggs for Ruan Jiaojiao to eat, when suddenly, noises ca from the front courtyard.
At this hour, everyone should have been busy going to bed. Who could be visiting their ho?
Mrs. Ruanlin quickly counted the eggs again to make sure none were missing, then turned and walked back. As she entered the backyard gate, she saw Auntie Wu standing in the courtyard.
