Protagonist:
Chai Mi
Chai Min's already pale face was now completely bloodless, even whiter than before.
Like snowflakes on ice in the dead of winter...
White to a frightening degree.
"Mom, Dad. You two are confused. You've fallen into a trap. Think about it — who's the beneficiary of this whole thing? It's Chai Mi. Not only did she not spend a single cent, she made everyone hurt each other. First, our family inexplicably shelled out two or three thousand yuan — our family is hurt.
Second, Wang Huirong lost face completely, Chai Zhongxiao isn't faring any better either, and this bit of money is a drop in the bucket for Chai Zhongxiao's loan problem, so Wang Huirong and Chai Zhongxiao are also badly hurt.
And the one hurt worst of all is actually Che Lianyun. Don't be fooled by how she looks fine now — she's already fallen into a pit. Once Chai Zhongxiao is impoverished, Che Lianyun definitely won't tolerate him. By then, Chai Zhongxiao living in the old house will be insufferable, and Che Lianyun can use the fact that Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong have already humiliated themselves throughout the village to chase them out. With Che Lianyun's petty schemes, she'll definitely pull this move... When that happens, as long as someone goes to the school and spreads the word, Che Lianyun will have to go home."
As Chai Min spoke, she couldn't help but grind her teeth in hatred.
This move is too ruthless.
And this isn't just one move — it's a chain of interlocking traps, one after another.
Chai Min started tracing back: the root of Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong's trouble was Sun Yuguang's false accusation; the root of Sun Yuguang's accusation was actually Chai Chunfang's death; the root of Chai Chunfang's death was Chai Mi demanding money at the old house; Chai Chunfang died from meddling too much. So from the moment Chai Mi started demanding money, had she already planned all this step by step?
Until everyone's family was ruined and lives destroyed?
Chai Min only needed to see it. She saw that the Chai family was already shattered — Chai Zhongxiao and Wang Huirong were finished, Chai Chunfang was dead, Che Lianyun had no hope of promotion and held a pile of blackmail material, could be fired any moment, Chai Youde's skull was fractured and he was still drinking, wouldn't live much longer, Chai Dajun was destined to be a lifelong bachelor, and her own family...
Chai Min's own family was also in a complete mess. Mother Song Qiuping had once assaulted the grandmother, reputation ruined; Father Chai You Fu's reputation wasn't much better either.
It could be said the whole Chai family was finished.
The problem...
Chai Min suddenly frowned — it seemed even Chai Youqing wasn't faring well now. Chai Youqing's word didn't count, and he leaned heavily toward Chai Mi.
One thing after another.
The more Chai Min thought, the more horrified she felt.
This Chai Mi is truly terrifying!!!
It's like she foresaw how everything would develop from the very beginning, step by step making the Chai family tear itself apart until it was shattered.
The problem is, nobody thinks Chai Mi did anything wrong?!
That's just bizarre!!!
"Ah..." Hearing Chai Min say this, Song Qiuping immediately lost her composure.
Song Qiuping, who had never felt she'd been tricked, now had the distinct feeling of being sold out and still counting the money for the buyer: "Then... then our family fell for Chai Mi's scheme?"
"Do you even need to think? Not the first time either." Chai Min said with a 'hate iron for not becoming steel' expression.
The first time, Song Qiuping was led by the nose by Chai Mi and beat Wang Huirong up. She became the first person in Sanjiacun to assault a grandmother — truly lost face all the way to her maternal grandmother's home.
This second time, not only did she let Chai Mi sell her out, she even thanked Chai Mi...
Truly a family of useless parents.
Chai You Fu, however, still only cared about why Chai Min came home: "You don't study properly at school, what are you doing meddling in family affairs? Is this something a girl should participate in? You should focus on studying, don't get involved in these idle matters..."
"Dad, this isn't idle matters..."
"Shut up." Chai You Fu said impatiently: "A student not studying properly — did you take leave to come home again? Your parents scrimp and save to support your education, it's not easy. You keep running home when there's no lack of food or clothing. Because of this trivial mess, what are you coming home for? If it affects your studies and you fall behind, what then? Song Qiuping, hurry up and make Chai Min some food, let her eat and get back to school."
Chai Min refused to yield: "Dad, you're just lacking sense. Chai Mi set you up and you still don't know... Just watch, this family will be ruined by you sooner or later..."
Chai You Fu frowned first, then looked at Song Qiuping with some anger: "Look at the good daughter you raised — she even talks back to her father like this."
"Was I wrong?" Chai Min said: "We can't get the old house's land, we can't get the old house's money. You still want to pay out money to my grandfather? For what? Because my grandfather looks good? No, it's because you were hoodwinked by Chai Mi until you lost all direction, covering up your own incompetence."
*Pa! * A sharp sound.
Chai You Fu's slap landed on Chai Min's face: "Outrageous."
After hitting her, Chai You Fu stormed out the door in a rage.
Chai Min covered her face, somewhat stunned: At this point, shouldn't Chai You Fu be praising her wisdom? How could he give her a big slap?!
Why?
When Chai Mi scolded Chai Youqing, Chai Youqing didn't talk back at all — just let Chai Mi scold him.
How come when it reached Chai You Fu, she got a big slap?
Does he know what a huge blow this slap from Chai You Fu is for a sickly invalid covered in illnesses?!!!
"Mom... Dad actually hit me..." Chai Min sobbed.
Song Qiuping was first stunned, then heartbroken, finally saying with some difficulty: "Chai Min, your father is right. You should prioritize your studies."
Chai Min frowned:???
What?
Chai You Fu was right to hit her?
Chai Min felt a hundred kinds of incomprehension, a thousand kinds of agony wanting to cry. She originally wanted to complain to Song Qiuping, wail a bit, but Song Qiuping didn't side with her — instead said Chai You Fu was right?
Do these two have some kind of mental illness?
No wonder they're always schemed against by that bitch Chai Mi — their IQs are not only useless, their brains are twisted!
So the crying Chai Min cried even harder...
Crying with incomparable misery, snot and tears streaming...
Of course, although Chai Min is a sickly invalid with a weak body, that doesn't stop her from having a loud voice... (Author's note: I have absolutely no intention of deliberately vilifying supporting characters.)
Originally, Chai Min's voice had extremely high sugar content.
But that's under normal circumstances. Now Chai Min isn't normal — she screamed crying, and that voice sounded like two cats in heat, sharp and drawn-out, and piercingly harsh, making listeners' hair stand on end.
Song Qiuping had originally still wanted to hold Chai Min and comfort her, but the moment this crying started, Song Qiuping suddenly felt every pore on her body stand on end, goosebumps all over......
Song Qiuping: Hiss...... How come this sound feels so nian ren to listen to? How come it's not quite the same as when she was little?
Chai Min cried without caring about anything, in this not-too-large farm courtyard, directly startling all the left and right neighbors awake.
Of course, right now it's afternoon, not yet evening, the neighbors weren't sleeping, most people were in the middle of cooking dinner, and with this one shout from Chai Min, the neighbor aunties even flung the corn cakes they were originally tossing into the pot right onto their own old men's heads......
Too damn scary!!!
The neighbors all came out: "Come out quick and look, whose tomcat is in heat, beat it to death......"
(Lang maozi means male kitten, jiao gaozi means female kitten in heat. The rest is literal meaning.)
Chai Min didn't know the people outside had all been startled into action, she couldn't hear, she only felt herself extremely wronged plus helpless plus hating iron for not becoming steel plus angry......
"Ma! You...... you...... you......" Chai Min sobbed.
Song Qiuping hurriedly patted Chai Min's back, her heart also a wave of lingering fear, look at what this child has been beaten into, can't even speak clearly, wait till Chai You Fu gets back, how am I going to deal with him!!!
"Ai, stop crying. Crying can't be eaten as rice ah. Stop crying, Chai Min your body is originally not good, just don't get angry. What your dad said has no problem, you should just go back and study properly, family matters, aren't yours to manage."
"No....... Ma, you mean Dad hitting me was right?" Chai Min stared viciously at Song Qiuping and asked.
Cough cough......
"I didn't say that." Song Qiuping muttered in her heart, then comforted Chai Min not to talk nonsense, which mother would say her own daughter deserved a beating?
But, actually, Song Qiuping also didn't know if Chai You Fu beating Chai Min was right or not, but it should be not much mistake.
No matter how you say it, Chai You Fu is the family's mainstay, all the family's expenses have to rely on Chai You Fu to earn, without Chai You Fu is the whole family supposed to drink the northwest wind?
Although Chai Min was thinking of comparing with Chai Mi, but Chai Mi not only earns not a single cent, going to school still costs a huge amount......
"Ma, do you know, Chai Mi is playing you and my dad like monkeys?" Chai Min asked in a sharp voice.
This question...... Song Qiuping wasn't without thoughts, but regardless of whether Chai Mi came to her house to talk about Chai Zhongxiao's matter, at that time Wang Huirong had already gone to commit suicide by hanging. Even without Chai Mi, would the Chai family not be in chaos?
The actual situation is, as long as Chai Youqing and Su Wan don't give the old residence, like before working like oxen and horses, the old residence's income would immediately sharply decrease, crops would immediately fall short. As long as the old residence's income decreases, then problems will follow one after another.
Conflict erupting, is only a matter of early or late.
Could it be Song Qiuping didn't think of this matter the first time she went to beat Wang Huirong?
Song Qiuping thought of it.
What Song Qiuping encountered was actually a plight not much different from Chai Mi's, rather than meekly submitting, better to beat first and talk later.
But, right now being asked by Chai Min, Song Qiuping still didn't want to make this matter that complicated, she instinctively avoided Chai Min's very unkind gaze, perfunctorily said: "Your dad hitting you is wrong. But you also know, those old men of the Lao Chai family are just that virtue, you don't get angry, later Ma will go vent for you. Hungry right, Ma will go cook for you, later let that Da Zhi ah, drive the tractor to send you to school, you're about to be Senior Year Three, delaying courses won't do, if later you can't keep up with class, how to test into university? Our family your dad earns little originally, just counting on you to make something of yourself, daughter you study well, test into a good university, show them, that's the real business ah."
"Besides, family matters ah, also aren't what you think that sample, adults' world...... complex ne, moreover everyone is lower head not see raise head see, can't always close door live life. Your dad and I promised to repay your grandpa grandma the money from when they built the house back then, at that time there were also many people present, even our Lao Chai family's old principal was there, although I'm not very willing, but I'm afraid......" Song Qiuping also knows this matter, no matter how dissatisfied she is, in the end afraid it's already wood already made into boat.
Chai Min lowered her head, biting her lip.
Her own dad and mom are really no salvation.
Chai Min hates them for not striving, resents them for not standing firm.
The first time being schemed by Chai Mi, Chai Min was not home, the first two days when Song Qiuping and Chai You Fu were schemed by Chai Mi, Chai Min was also not home.
As long as Chai Min felt she was home, this kind of situation would not appear.
"You just wait to be eaten clean by Chai Mi, then count money for her."
Chai Min's body trembling slightly spoke.
Because her body is not good, just trembling like this for a while, she actually involuntarily convulsed, whole body convulsing even spitting white foam......
Song Qiuping hurriedly pounded Chai Min's back, a good while later, Chai Min only got a bit better, turning into violent coughing, that coughing almost coughed her lungs out, really snot and tears all coming out together.
Feeling her own sickly constitution, Chai Min couldn't help but from crying to coughing in the end actually laughed loudly.
Hahahaha.......
Song Qiuping looked at her own daughter like looking at a mental case, for a moment didn't know what to say.
Really is Song Qiuping hair long knowledge short, Song Qiuping this lifetime also never saw this kind of thing ah.
This is too damn scary......
This even made the very short-sighted Song Qiuping think of, in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, old Cao Cao's encounter at Huarong Path, that was also a while crying a while laughing.
But at that time Cao Cao was in a desperate situation, found a way out, result once again fell into a desperate situation.
But this Chai Min......
Is just very bizarre.
"Won't be gone crazy right.....?" Song Qiuping thought in her heart, afterwards lips trembling, hands also trembling touching Chai Min's forehead.
Not very hot......
Should be not sick......
If not sick, then mental state has a bit of a problem......
"Ma, our this family...... finished! All fallen into Chai Mi's pit! Isn't Dad going to the old residence to curry favor? Go ah! Go send money to them! Empty the family bottom completely! Wait till you and Dad are squeezed dry of the last drop of oil, how does our family live?" Chai Min nearly hysterically shouted this sentence. Chai Min didn't understand, why such a simple scheme, Chai You Fu and Song Qiuping fell for it once and again? Are they two damn idiots?
Song Qiuping didn't know what Chai Min thought in her heart, she only knew today Chai Min's spirit wasn't very good, two-three thousand yuan, really not to the extent of family ruined people dead. If speaking of family ruined people dead, that's Chai Zhongxiao ah......
But think also is, this Chai Min a month living expenses is only a hundred plus yuan, these two-three thousand are enough for her to eat three years. Child small, knowing earning money not easy is also right, just emotions a bit intense merely.
After all, these people of the Lao Chai family, all have a bit of spirit not very good ne......
