Chapter 207: Chapter 203: Wow, It’s a Complete Mess—Take a Sip While It’s Hot

Zhong Xiaonan and Xiao Chendong had one son and one daughter; the eldest, Xiao Aizhong, is now seven years old.

They were born during the best time in their relationship.

During the pregnancy, Xiao Chendong kept nourishing Xiao Aizhong, hoping Zhong Xiaonan could give him a hefty little boy.

As a result, after all the provisions and care, when the child was born, it was just a worthless girl.

Xiao Chendong felt disappointed, but he didn’t show it openly.

To him, both were young and could have more children in the future.

Having a daughter first wasn’t bad; the couple was young and inexperienced with childcare. If they had a boy and didn’t care for him properly, it would be terrible.

It’s just right now — they could practice with the baby girl.

When she grows up, a son should arrive then, and she could take care of the children.

It gets easier once she’s seventeen or eighteen; marry her off and get a bride price, which will certainly ease the parents’ burden.

The more he thought, the more Xiao Chendong found having children profitable.

In the future, they could have two more; boy or girl, it didn’t matter.

Just look at his own parents — even they had six children.

In Xiao Chendong’s eyes, this girl was just the beginning.

To demonstrate Xiao Chendong’s love for Zhong Xiaonan, the child’s name was hastily decided ten minutes after birth.

Xiao Aizhong.

Less than ten minutes later, the postpartum, weakened Zhong Xiaonan was wheeled out, as the three of them huddled by the hospital bed, gazing at this little girl with some joy in their hearts.

Unfortunately, not even twenty minutes passed when Zhong Xiaonan suddenly suffered massive postpartum bleeding. With doctors and nurses looking horrified, the pale Zhong Xiaonan was pushed back into the operating room.

The doctor brought both good and bad news.

Good news: Zhong Xiaonan was rescued in time; her life was saved.

Bad news: Zhong Xiaonan’s body was damaged, and having babies in the future…

Would be slightly challenging.

Even the doctor’s subtle statement was a thunderbolt for Xiao Chendong.

For a moment, Xiao Chendong even thought, why didn’t Zhong Xiaonan die on the operating table?

If she had died there, he could cry for two days and then seamlessly marry a new wife, who would give him children.

Regrettably.

Zhong Xiaonan stubbornly survived, and from then on, Xiao Aizhong’s life grew like it was soaked in bitterness.

Fortunately, three years later, Zhong Xiaonan successfully got pregnant again and finally had a boy.

At that time, teetering on the brink of metaphorical death, Xiao Aizhong was pulled back to reality.

The reason was simple: Xiao Chendong had to work, and no one was home to care for Zhong Xiaonan.

Thus, Xiao Aizhong grew under the oppression of her parents and the exploitation of her brother until she was seven years old…

All good things belonged to her brother, as did the praise. But when it came to blame, of course, Xiao Aizhong was the rightful recipient.

The neighbors were observant and couldn’t help but make fair comments; regrettably, Xiao Chendong had an indifferent personality.

As for Zhong Xiaonan…

She acted as if she were at war with the world. Speak for Xiao Aizhong?

Okay.

She would drag Xiao Aizhong to your home and beat her hard.

She would stop only when Xiao couldn’t get up anymore.

Everyone was stunned. A man, unable to stand it, cursed and beat Xiao Aizhong.

The consequence?

Of course, he was scammed out of twenty yuan by Xiao Aizhong before the matter was settled.

Since then, few dared to meddle in the Xiao Family’s affairs.

Because, Xiao Aizhong was no good either. Anyone who spoke for her could expect a midnight window smashing.

Treat her well today, but tomorrow, if you don’t?

Fine, I’ll smash your windows again.

Everyone hated this family with gritted teeth.

Yet, these are all moral flaws; if someone took it up with the local committee, Zhong Xiaonan’s apology attitude would guarantee to be smooth.

However, she recognized the fault.

Change? Impossible.

This family was like lice on hair, fleas on dogs, and toads on feet.

…

“I didn’t ask you that!” Zhong Xiaonan cursed, “I’m asking if our house was banging all night yesterday?”

Sun Hehua was taken aback — what was going on?

Wouldn’t they know the noises from their own house?

Sun Hehua instinctively thought it was Zhong Xiaonan shirking responsibility but then reconsidered that maybe she was just overthinking.

With Zhong Xiaonan’s reckless way, even if you caught her wrongdoing, she would argue with full justification.

“You don’t know?” Sun Hehua glanced through the door crack and wow!

An impressive scene indeed!

The living room was too messy to find a place to stand.

Sun Hehua understood, looked at Zhong Xiaonan sympathetically, “Why beat the child?

Clearly, this isn’t something a child could cause; hurry and check if your money and things are missing inside. I think a thief broke in.”

Zhong Xiaonan went blacked out, and rushed into the room, ignoring everything.

Sun Hehua stood at the door, looking at the mess and then at the hunched, trembling little girl on the ground, her heart softened.

Sigh~

Damn the Xiao couple; so unlucky to have such parents.

She entered the room and approached Xiao Aizhong, “It’s okay now, get up quickly.”

Xiao Aizhong pushed Sun Hehua away, raised her head, and shouted, “Pretending, are we? Just to appear kind-hearted!

Where were you when I was beaten before? Now I’m beaten, and you come out all fake, disgusting.”

Sun Hehua stumbled back a few steps, landing hard on her behind.

She sat stunned, looking at Xiao Aizhong who was hideous.

She vaguely thought, “Old sayings do ring true…”

A dragon bears dragons, a phoenix bears phoenixes, mice add burrowers to generations.

Indeed, Xiao Aizhong took after her parents, fiercely — the whole family was terrible.

Previously, she suffered much from these bastards.

And now, once again, forgetting past lessons, she deserved this fall.

Thinking of this, Sun Hehua raised her hand and slapped herself.

Ouch~

It hurt!

Definitely memorable.

From now on, if she meddled in this family’s matters again.

She’s a fool; even if she got conned dead, it would be deserved.

Before Sun Hehua could fully regret, Zhong Xiaonan madly emerged from the room, raised a hand, and slapped Xiao Aizhong across the face.

“You ingrates, tell me! Who did you let in overnight?!”

Xiao Aizhong took the slap full force, bashing her head on the floor.

With a sounding thud so loud, Sun Hehua was startled!

Looking up again, Xiao Aizhong’s face and mouth bled, “It— it wasn’t me…”

She looked at Sun Hehua, full of pleading, “Auntie, please save me.”

Sun Hehua: “!!!”

She scurried to her feet, backed away three steps without saying a word.

Damn!

Best steer clear!
