Qian’e placed the bowl of noodles on the coffee table sulkily. Old Madam Qian took advantage of the moment when Qian’e bent down to slap her.
Qian’e lost her balance and fell to the floor. Her arm was cut by the glass shards on the floor and the bowl of noodles also got overturned.
Old Madam Qian started scolding her again.
“You useless thing! What’s the use of feeding me these lousy noodles! Are you going to starve me to death since there’s nothing in it at all!” Old Madam Qian shouted.
Qian’e sat up from the floor with difficulty. Blood was still flowing down her arm. She looked at Old Madam Qian coldly and said, “This is all we have at home. Take it or leave it.”
Qian’e went into the room to take out the first aid kit and skillfully treated the wound on her arm. This was a common occurrence. When she was still young, Old Madam Qian would hit her whenever Old Madam Qian thought that she did not do well enough. Zhao Ni would also get beaten up. She had always treated her own wounds and could do it even more professionally than the doctors in the hospital.
She carefully picked out the glass bits from her arm, disinfected the wound with iodine and wrapped it in a simple bandage. With her thick skin, there was no need for her to go to the hospital for such a minor injury.
Qian’e then patiently went to the living room to clean up the glass shards and the bloodstains on the floor. The only person she could not bear to leave behind in this house was Zhao Ni.
After tidying up everything, Qian’e went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for Old Madam Qian and brought it to her. “There’s nothing else. If you want to eat, then eat it properly. Otherwise, I’ll throw it away.”
“You! This is how you talk to your grandmother! Do you still have any respect for your elders!” Old Madam Qian pointed at Qian’e and scolded her.
Qian’e did not care at all. She looked at Old Madam Qian and said, “Eating it or not?”
“Even if I die! I won’t eat anything made by a little b*tch like you! Who knows if you’ll poison me to death! You just want me to die soon!” Old Madam Qian said.
Qian’e did not let her have her way. She poured the noodles into the trash can and returned to the room. No matter how Old Madam Qian shouted and scolded her, she pretended not to hear anything.
Together with Xia Mao and Xia Wen, Xia Zhe had been dealing with the remaining matters related to the He family. He had thought that he could uproot the He family this time, but he did not expect the He family to have so many connections after so many years. It turned out to be quite difficult to deal with them.
It was not easy for him to find time to come back and spend time with Qiao Mei today. He did not expect her not to be at home when he got back. When he heard from Second Aunt-in-law that she had gone to his Aunt’s house, he immediately rushed over without stopping to take a breather.
The three women were still sitting in the living room and discussing strategies when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.
