Chapter 5

Qin Shi was taken aback by Chu Ning, she really didn't expect her daughter to speak so aggressively.

"But, but this water is for your grandfather to make tea, you have used more than half of it, isn't it enough?"

Chu Ning almost laughed angrily at her, "If it's not enough, burn it again."

As she said that, she murmured at the water tank, "That! There is still half a tank of water there, enough to boil a few pots."

Qin's reaction was quite quick, "You kid said it lightly, don't you need firewood to boil water..."

Chu Ning gritted his teeth, "I repeat, I picked up the firewood."

Mention this, she gets angry.

There is obviously firewood at home, and it is piled up like a hill in the backyard, which is enough to last a whole winter, but the old woman is not allowed to use it, saying that good firewood can only be used for burning the kang, and it is wasted for cooking. It is simply a strange theory.

What's even more weird is that she ordered the three of them to go up the mountain to collect firewood every day to supply the daily needs of this family.

Chu Shouli and the Qin family knew that the old godmother was trying to tease each other on purpose, but they didn't dare to refute, so they could only cowardly agree.

But Chu Shouli was going to work in the town, and the Qin family had endless housework to do, and Pandi and the others were still young, so the task of collecting firewood fell to the eldest daughter Xiaozhaodi.

The poor little girl has carried the burden of life on her thin shoulders since she was nine years old, and provided firewood for nearly thirty people.

Well, there are a total of 27 people in the Chu family including the five householders and the old couple, so it is not an exaggeration to say that nearly [-] people use firewood every day.

Moreover, the two black pigs raised at home also need to eat hot food, and they eat a lot, they still eat three meals a day, but they use a lot of firewood.

It is conceivable that Xiao Zhaodi's tasks are multiple.

The poor child eats less and does more, not to mention the overloaded operation all day long, and also bears the scolding of the old Chen Shi Wurui, who forced the child into severe depression, if it is not for his parents and a few younger sisters , she committed suicide a long time ago and went with the wind.

And she eventually left.

Walked quietly.

Except for Chu Ning who came here inexplicably, no one knew that the poor child had passed away.

However, her brain was in a mess at the time, so she didn't know much about Xiao Zhaodi's situation. She only got a general idea after hearing Pandi talk about it later.

It is said that Xiao Zhaodi fell down on the mountain for some reason that day, probably hitting her head, and she fainted on the spot, and she didn't know how long she lay on the cold ground before waking up, her whole body was frozen. Returning home shivering, he developed a high fever that night.

In the eyes of outsiders, she survived for three days and three nights without medicine, but she didn't know that the person who woke up again had been replaced by her, a big wronged person.

Chu Ning became angry just thinking about it.

If it weren't for Chu Shouli and Qin's couple not being able to stand up, Xiao Zhaodi would not have lost her life in vain, and she wouldn't have to come to this ghostly place.

So don't mention firewood to her.

Get angry!

Qin Shi was furious at Chu Ning's attitude, "What's the matter with you, child? If you say one word to your mother, you can say ten words, even the duty of being a child..."

"What? Does being your daughter deserve it?"

"you!"

Qin Shi trembled angrily, "What are you talking about?"

Chu Ning stood up suddenly, and coldly snorted at Qin Shi, "Human words!"

After she finished speaking, she shook off the water droplets on her hand, went forward to take the gourd ladle, opened the lid of the pot, and scooped up hot water to drink.

Qin's body was hurt when she was born, and she didn't sit well during the confinement period. The root cause of the disease fell, and her body was always uncomfortable. Old Chen didn't buy medicine for Yinzi. I have to breathe a lot.

Now that Chu Ning was so angry, she couldn't breathe. She patted her chest and sucked hard, and after several times, she finally felt better.

Qin's heart was lingering, and she didn't dare to get excited anymore, but she was still angry, and she refused to let Chu Ning go, "Mother is not willing to use hot water, is it because you have been picking up less and less firewood recently, and your grandma is watching closely... ..."

Seeing that she was out of breath, Chu Ning didn't want to talk to her anymore, but she insisted on continuing to pester her, which directly annoyed Chu Ning.

"It's really bad luck to be your child."

Qin was once again trembling with anger, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid! Are you trying to piss your mother off?"

"Isn't it? In such a ghostly weather, men don't go into the mountain, but your child has to go up the mountain to collect firewood hungry, and was blown by the cold wind for a long time, almost freezing to death.

In the end, when you get home, you mother, if you don't care about her at all, no matter whether she is thirsty, hungry, cold or tired, that indifference doesn't seem to be your child.

That's all, anyway, I'm used to it, so I didn't dare to expect anything.

But I just used a little hot water to wash my frozen hands and face, you won't be happy... Heh, if you know it's your mother, if you don't know it's some kind of deep hatred, you have to grind her die. "

Qin's face turned purple from being squeezed by her, and she didn't know whether it was from anger or shame. Her chest heaved violently, as if it would explode at any moment.

Chu Ning was still about to speak, when the old Chen's sharp curse suddenly came from outside, "Old man! Where did you go?! You unconscionable thing, who wants to starve to death? It's already this hour. Bring the food in!"

With trembling lips, Qin responded with all her strength, "This is it."

The person who was about to be dizzy due to chest tightness and breathlessness, became a little more energetic after the sound of yelling, probably because the stuffiness was released, and his stagnant body unexpectedly gained some strength.

She hurriedly packed up the food and sent it to the upper room in a hurry.

When passing by Chu Ning, he obviously quickened his pace.

Chu Ning didn't bother to care about her.

After the water stains on her face evaporated naturally, her skin became tense and very uncomfortable. She rubbed her face irritably, hoping to relieve this discomfort, and then went out after her skin loosened a bit.

Although this little face has been chapped a long time ago, it can't be broken, can it?

"Second sister, where's mother? Did you go to the room?"

Pandi rushed in in a hurry, "Didn't mother start preparing lunch a long time ago, why did you wait until now to deliver it?"

Chu Ning glanced at her, "Then you have to ask her."

Pandi is very dissatisfied with her attitude, but as a younger sister, it is not easy to teach her older sister, and Chu Ning is now different from before, and has a very weird temper, so under normal circumstances, she will not provoke her if she can.

"..."

"Oh!"

The dilapidated courtyard door collapsed with a dull bang, kicking up a cloud of dust, which almost dazzled the man who strode in.

"Chu Shouxin! Get out of here!"

Pandi was startled by the noise outside, jumped to Chu Ning's side twice, and whispered in surprise, "It sounds like a lot of people have come, and I don't know what they are doing, why are they so fierce. "

Indeed many people.

At this time, the courtyard of the Chu family was full of people. According to visual inspection, there were at least 30 of them. appalling.

Pandi, who was hiding in the kitchen and peeked out, firmly grabbed Chu Ning's arm, and supported her precarious body with her strength, "It's terrible..., Uncle Wu won't be in danger of getting killed, right?"

Chu Ning frowned and shouted, "Release!"

The stinky girl was as skinny as a monkey, but she didn't expect to be so vigorous, so she couldn't get a piece of meat from her.

But it hurt her to death.
