Chapter 916: She isn't feeling guilty!
Old Lady Dong wasn't a fool. How could she not know that Lu Qiao had a purpose for every step she took?
But Yuanyuan, why didn't you understand? Lu Qiao was truly peeling off your skin step by step.
Aren't you ashamed at this moment?
Old Lady Dong picked up a feather duster, her face looking terrifyingly gloomy: "With your current attitude, I don't think you'll listen to any reason."
Dong Yuanyuan was still a bit afraid of her grandmother.
She took a few steps back, thinking to herself, Lu Qiao had no good intentions. She didn't pursue it, not because she was truly magnanimous and let her off, but because she didn't want her to hide in the inspection room and have peace.
She was deliberately making her go home so that her grandmother would scold her.
When her father came back later, she thought, her father still wouldn't spare her.
Dong Yuanyuan raised her voice: "Grandma, if you hit me, I'll go to my mother's place. I'll never come back again."
Old Lady Dong might have been frightened: "Don't use that to threaten me either. Do you think everyone in the family likes staying at home?
You are a heartless, ungrateful wolf.
For so many years, you've been rampant at home. Tell me, who in the family doesn't listen to you? Who dares to provoke you?
Mingming is also my granddaughter. Regardless of what calculations Lu Qiao has, her words are correct.
Your parents divorced, your stepmother married in; what does that have to do with Mingming?
She didn't choose to come into this world, and she couldn't choose who her parents would be; that wasn't up to her either.
Dong Yuanyuan, what ability do you have?
You only know how to swing your fists at the weak; besides that, what can you do?
I feel like reasoning with you is useless. Everyone learns from their mistakes; I don't know how to make you understand this?"
They say that filial children come from under the stick.
The old lady now deeply knew that for a fool like Yuanyuan who wouldn't listen to anything, she had to give her a beating.
But she couldn't use the feather duster to hit her; that was made of bamboo. If she really broke something, she'd have to send her to the hospital, and the Dong family would lose even more face.
So Old Lady Dong stepped forward, grabbed Dong Yuanyuan, and didn't hit her face, but gave her a sound thrashing on her back, arms, and shoulders.
While hitting her, she scolded: "You troublesome thing, let's not talk about anything else first. The vase was broken; such a big matter, why did you have to lie?
If you broke it, you broke it; why did you have to say it was Lu Qiao's cat?
Tell me, if you hadn't lied, would our family have been so passive?
If you hadn't lied, and hadn't insisted on blaming Lu Qiao's cat, how could Grandma have taken two thousand yuan from someone else?
If it weren't for your lying, if you had told the truth, maybe Lu Qiao would have felt guilty instead.
Now it's all messed up. Is she feeling guilty?
She isn't feeling guilty!
You almost extorted two thousand yuan from her; she was magnanimous not to send you to the inspection room."
Dong Yuanyuan held her head and howled like a ghost while being beaten.
Old Lady Dong was even angrier seeing her act like this; it was simply adding fuel to the fire.
"Lu Qiao was right; you are a brainless piece of trash. Her scolding wasn't wrong at all. Look at your current attitude; aren't you quite capable? Aren't you quite tough? Usually, that mouth of yours just bullies Mingming.
Besides that, you really are nothing. Just look at your performance today. I am truly too disappointed.
Tell me, what can you do living until now?
To the family, you are a troublemaker; to society, you have no contribution.
You also broke my vase.
I'm telling you, Dong Yuanyuan, this vase is a valuable antique; you must compensate me for the money.
After this matter is over, you go to work for me immediately. When you have compensated me for the two thousand yuan, then we will consider this matter finished!"
Upon hearing that she had to pay, Dong Yuanyuan stared in disbelief: "Grandma... where would I get that much money?"
"If you don't have money, you can go out to work and earn it. Look at those girls your age; how many of them stay at home like you?
I think you're just idle..."
Dong Yuanyuan naturally couldn't stand there stiffly and let Old Lady Dong hit her.
She scrambled around the room and accidentally bumped into a chair, making a loud clanging sound.
The old lady didn't dare to move anymore.
The house wasn't that soundproof; the people downstairs would definitely hear such a noise.
And she was tired from hitting and scolding.
She sat on the sofa, panting heavily.
After a few breaths, the old lady's eyes turned red, tears fell down, and her hands were trembling as she sat on the sofa.
Old Lady Dong usually lived in luxury, and with the capable and deliberately pleasing Lian Liying around, she basically didn't do any housework.
There was nothing to worry about inside or outside the house.
So she lived a leisurely life.
But these past few days seemed as long as a lifetime.
Sometimes she even felt like this was a big dream.
Actually, there was no need for Xiao Cangcang to relay it; Lu Qiao could hear how the old grandmother of the Dong family was scolding Dong Yuanyuan opposite.
Dong Yuanyuan retorted at first, but in the end, she became honest because Dong Ze had returned; in this family, she was still very afraid of this father.
Dong Ze said to Dong Yuanyuan: "If you keep tossing and turning, our family will be kicked out of the compound. By then, let's see what you do?
Don't think that your mother's place is your retreat. I'll put my words here today; I'm not afraid of you telling your mother, but your mother won't agree to you living at her house.
You are a girl; isn't it best for a girl to be with her mother?
But why does your mother prefer your eldest brother over you?"
Hearing this, Dong Yuanyuan couldn't control herself anymore, stamped her foot, and threw herself onto the sofa, crying loudly.
Why?
That was because her mother favored boys over girls.
That generation of the maternal grandfather's family were all girls, so they needed a male descendant to cultivate. It just so happened that when her mother divorced, she took the eldest brother with her and even changed his surname.
Now the eldest brother is already married.
Their child is already five years old.
Actually, she hadn't been to her mother's house for a long time.
And Dong Ze didn't have the patience to reason with such a big daughter anymore.
He ordered directly: "Write me a self-criticism, and keep writing until I am satisfied. This is the first point.
The second point is still a self-criticism. You must publicly apologize to Lu Qiao in our compound.
The third point is that these days you will go to the hospital with me to take care of Mingming until she recovers and is discharged."
Dong Yuanyuan cried and shouted: "Father, you just don't want me to have a good life."
Dong Ze said mercilessly: "Don't you know in your heart how good your life was before?
It's because your life was too good that you've become the way you are now.
Immediately, go write the self-criticism for me right now. I am not discussing it with you; I am ordering you."
Dong Yuanyuan didn't dare to resist to the end and obediently went to the room to write.
The old lady had been all over her, and her fingernails were long, scratching the corner of Dong Yuanyuan's mouth.
At this moment, there was a bloodstain on the corner of her mouth.
Her hair was disheveled, and she looked very disheveled. ===== CHAPTER 917 =====
