Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Some words depend on who says them.

Was what Chai Min just said bizarre or not?

Actually, it wasn't particularly bizarre.

If these words had been spoken by Song Qiushui, Chai Mi would have laughed and joked with her for a while instead.

But because Chai Min said them, Chai Mi felt very uncomfortable.

After all, Chai Mi and this cousin of hers were not very familiar with each other.

Chai Mi's family had been poor when she was young, and she had spent most of her time at her maternal aunt's home, so she was naturally especially distant from the Old Chai Family. As for this cousin, they merely knew of each other.

After growing up, Chai Mi liked Chai Min even less, after all Chai Min was either at the hospital or on her way to the hospital. Also, Chai Min basically didn't speak and wouldn't communicate with Chai Mi.

So Chai Mi felt somewhat at a loss regarding the current Chai Min.

Anyway, it was just very strange.

After chatting idly for a few more sentences, Chai Mi asked: "Cousin, how about this? Don't go to school anymore, go home and do business. I'm optimistic about you."

"That won't do. My dad and mom are very stubborn, they definitely won't allow it." Chai Min sighed, then told them about what had happened today when Da Lao Song went to scold Chai You Fu: "My maternal grandfather scolded my dad just because you made money. Your family is harmonious. No matter what you do, my great-uncle and great-aunt support you. And you have money to do business..."

Chai Mi sighed: "It's fine, my Second Aunt is a good person. And your maternal grandfather... Da Lao Song also has money. If you really want to do business, they will definitely help you."

Chai Min stayed at Chai Mi's home for over an hour, but she didn't create any distance between Su Wan and Chai Mi at all.

Chai Min felt quite helpless and could only take her leave.

When they went out, at the street corner, she ran into Chai Youqing.

Chai Youqing was dusty and travel-worn. Seeing that Chai Min seemed to have come out of her own home, he asked concernedly: "Chai Min, are you on vacation? If you have free time, come play often."

Chai Min said with a dejected expression: "I do have plenty of time, but my cousin will be doing business in the future, so she'll probably be very busy and won't have time to pay attention to me..."

Chai Youqing was stunned for a moment...

Chai Min continued: "Great-uncle, I know you listen to my cousin. But they say a woman without talent is virtue. My cousin going out to do business, exposing herself in public, how will she get married in the future? At our market, there are many couples who set up stalls, but there are no unmarried young women setting up stalls. This kind of work that exposes one in public, if it gets out, it's ultimately not good. I originally didn't want to say this, but I'm worried my cousin won't be able to find a husband's family in the future. I just said it... you mustn't tell my cousin that I said it. But Great-uncle, you should still persuade her yourself. Doing business is not something a young woman should do. Meeting this person today and that person tomorrow, outsiders will say things about my cousin..."

Chai Youqing was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Chai Min continued to brainwash Chai Youqing: "Besides, this isn't a job that can earn much money. How much can one stall earn? It's impossible to become rich and powerful, so it's better to do something yourself. Raising pigs, raising cows, farming the land is quite good..."

Chai Youqing didn't hear the later words clearly.

In the end, Chai Youqing returned home as if his brain was lacking oxygen.

When he got home, he told Chai Mi everything.

Chai Mi didn't take it to heart, just smiled and said: "Let her say what she wants, this cousin of mine really has something wrong with her head."

On the other side, seeing that Chai Mi didn't seem to react, Chai Min turned her attention to Song Qiushui. She ran over there and chattered away with Song Qingshan...

"Qiu Shui, here's what happened... I was staying at home, and then Chai Min went to her maternal grandfather's house. After that, my Second Uncle came to find me, saying there was something."

Song Qingshan whispered to Song Qiushui at home: "I don't know what it was either, so I went. After I got there, this Chai Min said: Great-uncle and maternal grandfather, your family's Song Qiushui goes out to do business, earns some money, and spreads it everywhere, even running to my maternal grandfather's side to say it. Then my maternal grandfather went and scolded my dad a good one... My dad and my mom had a fight..."

Song Qingshan said while secretly glancing at Song Qiushui.

Song Qiushui narrowed her eyes, gave a cold laugh, slapped the table, and asked: "Finished? This little brat's parents fight, and I have to take the blame?"

"Finished... Chai Min said, this isn't really your fault. But, it's not good for a young woman to do business and expose herself in public... Afterwards she also said that I, as her father, don't care about anything..."

Song Qiushui gasped: "Is that little brat Chai Min asking for a beating? I'll say whatever I damn well please, what's it to her? This green tea bitch, she even snitched on me behind my back, she's really bored out of her mind. Don't stop me, I'm going to beat her up right now..."

Song Qiushui tried to go out as she spoke.

As a result, she was stopped by Meng Shi: "Where are you going? Have you lost your mind from anger? That Chai Min is a famously sickly person in the village, she'll break at a touch, and you want to beat her? Even if you don't hit her, she might easily die in front of you, and you still want to make a move? Are you afraid you won't get sued, are you itching for trouble?"

Song Qiushui gritted her teeth in anger: "No, this worthless wretch gossips about me behind my back, doesn't she deserve a beating? I've spoiled her rotten. These years, who dares to say bad things about me behind my back? Besides, I'll do whatever I damn well please, what's it to her to chatter? She just relies on being sick, thinking no one dares to hit her. Damn it, if I don't hit her, can't I go hit her mother?"

Song Qingshan: "Er..."

Meng Shi:...

"Calm down, calm down. Then you're saying hitting Song Qiuping definitely isn't the case, isn't there still your Second Uncle? Is that reasonable?"

Song Qingshan also said: "Indeed it is. Song Qiuping is not bad, this girl is alright. It's just that giving birth to this Chai Min always gives me a feeling of yin-yang strange talk. But, Qiu Shui... our Old Song Family is not like their Old Chai Family, always fighting within the nest. You shouldn't argue with a junior like Chai Min."

"Heh." Song Qiushui glared at Song Qingshan: "So should I go hit my Second Uncle? Saying how my Second Uncle has such a granddaughter?"

Song Qingshan didn't dare say anything, looking at Meng Shi.

Meng Shi cursed: "Isn't it because you're useless? Letting our daughter suffer such a grievance? If it weren't for you, this useless father, could my daughter be spoken to like this? A father like you is better off dead... You still look at me? If I were the father, and my daughter suffered a grievance, even if I died, I'd go and..."

Song Qingshan hurriedly coughed twice: "No... cough cough. This... this Chai Min is not tough, she's still his Second Uncle's granddaughter, what do you say I should do?"

"Go find her..."

"Find who?"

"Alright." Song Qiushui waved her hand: "I'll go find my grandmother, and have my grandmother scold my Second Uncle a good one. My Second Uncle can't distinguish right from wrong anymore. He even favors his granddaughter. Does he want to die without letting me cry a few times?"

Song Qiushui said and went out the door.

Song Qingshan and Meng Shi didn't dare stop her.

"What are you thinking? Watch Qiu Shui!" Meng Shi cursed: "Our daughter goes berserk, she'll tear your brother's family apart. In a while, hurry and have Da Lao Song run away..."

Meng Shi said with a sigh: "What do you say, they act like nothing's wrong, why say those things? Qiu Shui can do whatever she wants, they really have nothing to do but look for trouble..."

Song Qingshan and Meng Shi thought for a moment, then also chased after her.

As a result, Song Qiushui didn't go to find Da Lao Song at all, but instead took her own family's dog and headed straight for Chai Min's home.

That dog was called Big Head because its head was larger than usual when it was young, hence the name.

Usually, Big Head listened to Song Qiushui best. Of the four dogs at home, only this one was obedient. When Song Qiushui went out and shouted once, Big Head followed her out.

Arriving at Chai Min's home, the courtyard was empty. Song Qiushui went straight in, leading Big Head inside.

In the courtyard, they could hear Chai Min and Song Qiuping chattering away.

"Mom, I went to Chai Mi's house, but got no reaction. Hehe, then I went to my maternal grandfather's house, and my maternal grandfather called Song Qingshan over. Hehehe, see if Song Qiushui gets scolded when she turns back..."

"No, why did you provoke Song Qiushui? Old Song's family has over a thousand people, and no one dares provoke her Song Qiushui? You go... are you crazy?" Song Qiuping looked bewildered: "If you offend Chai Mi, Chai Mi won't say anything out of respect for me. But if you offend Song Qiushui... that person isn't human at all, she dares to beat me up..."

"Ah... really?" Chai Min was obviously confused: "What does her Song Qiushui have anyway?"

"What do you know? Song Qiushui is our Old Song family's treasure. When your great-grandfather sees her, it's like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding far away. Even your great-great-grandmother has to listen to her Song Qiushui. The whole family, not one person dares provoke her. You don't know what's going on... sigh..." Song Qiuping sighed: "That Song Qiushui really has some illness... her spirit has never been good. Her mother said, as long as Song Qiushui gets angry, she won't eat. Song Qiushui doesn't eat, her whole family dares not eat, not even your great-great-grandmother dares eat... To put it this way, Song Qiushui sneezes, and your great-great-grandmother dares to call me over to beat me up. Otherwise, your great-grandfather wouldn't have run to our house to scold your father. You're really muddled..."

"Uh..." Chai Min was confused.

Did they stir up a hornet's nest?!

"What to do..."

Chai Min had just finished speaking when they heard someone outside speaking in a high-handed manner: "Still thinking about what to do at home? You don't go study properly, come home and talk nonsense, dragging it onto my head. This matter, either pay money, or pay money plus compensation for mental loss. I don't want more, ten thousand yuan, and I'll forgive you."

After Song Qiushui finished speaking, she let Big Head loose.

Big Head whooshed and lunged out.

Since Chai Min was inside the house and the door was closed, the dog went straight for the window sill.

Through the window it started biting...

Scaring Chai Min's mother and daughter into crying out, nearly giving them a heart attack...

Afterwards, the dog climbed onto the window sill...

Chai Min and Song Qiuping wailed and screamed as they ran out of the house.

Afterwards the dog chased them out.

Chai Min and Song Qiuping ran incredibly fast...

Two people chased by a dog, ran from Front Street to Hou Jie, from Hou Jie back to Front Street...

The whole village was alarmed.

Chai Min and Song Qiuping were scared green in the face, but they dared not stop, running crazily all the way.

Big Head chased leisurely.

This wasn't the dog holding back on purpose, but because once it caught up, Song Qiushui would call Big Head once, and then Big Head would slow down...

Afterwards Chai Min and Song Qiuping could pull ahead a few body lengths.

When Song Qiushui stopped caring, the dog would chase madly...

Song Qiuping hurriedly begged for mercy, but Song Qiushui didn't care at all.

The two ran until they were confused, unable to tell southeast from northwest.

Luckily they met Chai You Fu on the road...

As a result...

The person chased by the dog gained one more...

The villagers were all stunned watching.

"Oh my, that dog from Song Qiushui's house is really obedient—tell it to bite and it bites, tell it to stop and it stops..."

"Why are these people like this? Three people chased and bitten by one dog... Besides, Chai Min is famously sickly. Looking today, sure enough, her complexion has problems. Running so long, her complexion is still bizarrely pale, paler than someone crawling out of a grave..."

"You talk as if you've seen someone crawl out of a grave, just bragging..."

Many people watched the excitement, but really no one went to pull a fight.

After all, the two sides fighting were not on the same level at all.

Chasing and biting Chai Min's family of three behind was a dog. The dog didn't understand human speech, and no one could break up the fight.

Moreover, no one in the village wanted to offend Song Qiushui. Everyone wished Song Qiushui would come, so naturally no one would come out to beat the dog.

After all, beating a dog depends on the owner. That dog's owner was not someone ordinary people could afford to offend.

Chai Min was exhausted, foaming at the mouth, collapsed on the ground twitching constantly...

Song Qiushui only called out "Big Head" once, then walked over to take a look: "Hehe, Chai Min. Don't talk nonsense anymore. If I catch you again, I'll definitely beat you up."

"Song Qiushui, can't you see Chai Min is twitching?" Chai You Fu scolded angrily: "Are you done or not?"

"Hiss..." Song Qiushui glanced sideways at Chai You Fu: "Who made her talk nonsense? She twitches, so let her twitch. What does it have to do with me? Why didn't you twitch? Simply put, she's physically weak. No princess fate, but got princess sickness."

Song Qiushui then pointed at Song Qiuping: "I'm telling you one thing, discipline your daughter well, don't come out and cause trouble. All grown up, just talking nonsense. Next time I catch her saying bad things about me behind my back, see if I don't beat her to death."

After speaking, Song Qiushui left.

Song Qiuping and Chai You Fu hurriedly carried Chai Min home on their backs...

By this time Song Qingshan and Meng Shi had caught up with Song Qiushui, but seeing the matter was over, the couple could only go home.

Fortunately, no major trouble was caused, so it was fine.

Chai Mi also heard the outside news at home, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curling up: Chai Min's little schemes...

Were no different from being clueless.

She really couldn't understand this female cousin, both useless and fond of playing around...

This Chai Min truly wasn't afraid of her own stupid intelligence, playing herself to death.

The problem...

Chai Min seemed not to know her own intelligence was very low...

It was really funny.
