Chapter 206: Chapter 202: The Chaotic Home of Xiao Chendong

The sun was shining brightly.

Hongguo got up and went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast, while Wen Ran, having stayed up late last night, was still sleeping soundly.

Cooking smoke curled upward,

“Sis!”

Hongguo slung her bag over her shoulder, “I’m heading out now! The meal’s ready, have some before you go up the mountain to gather pigweed.

By the way, I’ll lock the door from the outside on my way out, sis, if you need to go out, just climb over the wall!”

She was going to school, leaving the main door open would be unsafe.

Having her climb over the wall…

Hongguo gave a shy smile, she wasn’t sure she could manage that.

Wen Ran seemed to hear, but maybe not, only feeling a noisy clatter around her ears, waves her hand like swatting away flies.

Hongguo sighed helplessly, “Alright, I’m off then.”

After taking a couple of steps, Hongguo bounced back, climbed onto the bed, and gave Wen Ran’s unwashed face a big kiss.

She hopped off the bed like a happy little bird.

“Sister~ I’m leaving now~~”

The sound of the door locking reached her ears, and Wen Ran, lying in bed, opened her eyes reluctantly.

Enough, no more sleeping.

No sleep, time to get up, wash, and eat!

Halfway through her meal, Xiao Chenye showed up right on time.

He cleared away what Wen Ran hadn’t finished and didn’t forget to complain while doing so, “We snuck out last night, and Mom found out.”

Wen Ran was taken aback, “What happened then?”

“Then Mom gave me a beating.”

Wen Ran: “…Pfft~”

She swore she didn’t mean to laugh.

“Why did she hit you?”

“Said I was restless for sneaking out to see you at night.”

When it comes down to it, Xiao Chenye could understand, and besides, this gossip is utterly unreasonable.

The attitude towards males and females going out together is worlds apart.

For women, the most unpleasant words are picked out: slut, loose, can’t do without a man, etc.

But for men…

Hmm, they’re amazing!

Of course, this was under the premise of baseless rumors, and if caught red-handed.

Regardless of gender, they’d both have bad luck.

“Alright, alright,” Wen Ran, in a good mood, ruffled his head, “Lighten up, think about it, even if Auntie hit you, it’s for my good in the end.”

Xiao Chenye looked up at Wen Ran, somewhat bewildered, “Oh, right.”

Wen Ran coaxed, “If Auntie treats me well, shouldn’t you be happy?”

“I should be happy, but…”

“But what? Do you have any objections?”

Xiao Chenye: “…No.”

“Mm, good boy.”

Wen Ran casually praised him, then planned to head up the mountain quickly to gather pigweed before the weather got too hot.

The spring sowing was almost upon them, she had to perform well, gather more pigweed.

The team leader recently seemed like a tigress with cubs, irritated by everything, so she had to keep a low profile.

Wen Ran and Xiao Chenye carried their baskets up the mountain to gather pigweed.

In the county town.

Zhong Xiaonan stretched and finally crawled out of bed.

Looking at the empty bed, a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Chendong, that bastard, had already gotten up?

Before, whenever Xiao Chendong got up, she had to get up too.

No choice, she had to let him go to work to earn money to support the family.

She yawned, walked out of the bedroom without looking around, and into the living room, staring at the mess, Zhong Xiaonan was dumbfounded.

The house Xiao Chendong received wasn’t small, thanks to the intertwined relations of her in-laws and their connections, the house they got was seven or eight square meters larger than others’.

Because of this, Zhong Xiaonan took great pride in her living room.

In other homes, two people would make it cramped, but hers was spacious, and her girlfriends were all envious of her spacious living room~

But now, the living room she was so proud of was a complete mess.

Things were strewn all over the floor, even her favorite vase on the coffee table was on the ground, shattered to pieces.

“Ahhhhh!” Zhong Xiaonan screamed in collapse, bursting into the child’s room, grabbing Xiao Aizhong, and smacking her twice, “Was it you? Was it you?”

Xiao Aizhong, who had been asleep, was startled by the slaps, holding her face and looking at her fierce mother, bewildered and cowering.

“Mom? Wh-what’s wrong?”

“Still playing dumb!” Seeing Xiao Aizhong’s expression, Zhong Xiaonan got angrier, pulling her out of bed and dragging her to the living room, “Look for yourself! Can you say this wasn’t you?”

Xiao Aizhong shook, “Mom, I don’t know, I really don’t know, I was sleeping the whole time.”

“Nonsense,” Zhong Xiaonan cursed, “How could you be asleep! Didn’t hear such a loud sound, are you dead?”

The more she looked at Xiao Aizhong’s pitiful state, the angrier Zhong Xiaonan got, thinking about it felt stifling.

She, Zhong Xiaonan, was undefeated around here, how did she give birth to such a disgraceful thing.

Raised her hand and hit a few more times.

Xiao Aizhong couldn’t hold back, burst into tears, “Mom, mom, stop hitting, it really wasn’t me, ask brother, maybe he was being naughty.”

“Oh, you’re getting worse, now you even learned to slander your brother!” Zhong Xiaonan became furious, “I knew you weren’t any good, are you jealous to death seeing me treat your brother well?!”

Xiao Aizhong was already numb.

Yes.

That’s how it was.

Whether she spoke or kept silent, acted or did nothing, if something went wrong, it was all her fault.

Zhong Xiaonan was still cursing, and the neighbors could no longer tolerate it.

After all, living in a tube-shaped building, the soundproofing…

Really, everyone could hear a pin drop clearly.

Let alone the shouting and beating of a child.

The crying and screaming of children almost pierced through people’s eardrums.

“Bang bang bang!” The door was pounded, Zhong Xiaonan paused her actions, rolled her eyes, and answered irritably, “Who’s there?!”

“Who do you think! Zhong Xiaonan open the door, this is the middle of the day and you’re making noise because you’re bored?

Last night, there were loud sounds all night, and now you’re fighting again at noon today, do you really think everything is yours?”

Zhong Xiaonan was about to lash out, but a sudden chill hit her.

What does it mean by loud sounds all night last night?

Yesterday she was in a good mood, didn’t fight or make noise at all.

Thinking of the worst case scenario, Zhong Xiaonan’s mind went black, she let go of Xiao Aizhong, hurriedly opened the door, not even waiting for the neighbor to finish cursing.

Zhong Xiaonan grabbed the neighbor aunt, Sun Hehua’s, shoulder, “What? Say it again!”

Sun Hehua: “!”

Hey!

She really got into it now.

“Say it again? I could say it ten times,” Sun Hehua shouted in her face, “You wicked thing, poor Xiao Ai was born into your home, it’s a sin from her past life!”
