Fifth Aunt and the other’s eyes opened wide in disbelief: “You, you said you stole the 100 yuan?! How is this possible? Don’t be scared!”
Listening to those words.
It was as if Qin Xiaonian admitted it because he was forced to do so by his cousin.
Qin Hongfei smiled and said, “Fifth Aunt, I understand your shock about your child stealing things. However, you don’t believe it when someone admits it, but you insist on us when we deny it? You think my mother is crazy, and our sisters don’t have a father and a brother to support us, so it would be easy to bully us, right?”
Fifth Aunt was hesitant and speechless. She had previously thought that it must be the first branch who stole it. Who would have thought that it was not the first branch but her son?!
Fifth Uncle was more direct. He started to beat his son directly: “You bastard! You’re not short of drinks and food, but you stole our money!”
Qin Xiaonian shouted: “Because I want to eat meat! The delicious food at home can only be eaten by my sister alone. Grandma brought McDonald’s. There were three pieces of McNuggets, but you gave them all to my sister. I couldn’t eat anything I wanted, so I couldn’t help but steal the money!” He cried at the top of his lungs.
Fifth Aunt and her husband suddenly felt embarrassed and panicked.
Just now they were so confident that it was the first branch who did it, yelling and scolding people, but now the thief was from their own family. They were so humiliated that Fifth Uncle got angry and whipped his belt at Qin Xiaonian fiercely.
Qin Hongfei frowned and did not approve of this method, but this was not her child, and she had no control over it.
Old Lady Qin felt upset. She threw away her chopsticks, and shouted, “Haven’t you two embarrassed yourself enough? Haven’t you messed up the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner enough?! First, you bully the first branch, and now, you’re bullying your child? Why don’t you blame yourself for not teaching your children well?! You feel so embarrassed, but you didn’t even try to reflect on your children’s accusations. I’ve always said that a bowl of water should be leveled evenly!”
“I don’t care if you love your daughter, but how can you starve your son?! Who are you trying to show off your preference for girls over boys?”
Qin Hongfei silently gave the old lady a thumbs up.
Perhaps it was because the first branch had been wronged, so when giving the new year’s money, Old Lady Qin gave the two sisters, Qin Hongfei and Qin Fei extra five yuan. She gave it in person without hiding it.
Qin Hongfei also accepted it generously: “Thank you, grandparents. I wish you good health, peace, and longevity in this new year!” Nice words don’t cost money. Saying a few words to please others won’t kill her!
Sure enough, Old Lady Qin looked much better and said to the two sisters: “Your mother is useless. Your family will rely on your sisters from now on. If you don’t want to study, then work hard.”
Qin Hongfei suddenly remembered that because she had no money to pay tuition, plus she was often being bullied, she was so angry that she hadn’t been to school for two months. It was impossible not to study: “Grandmother, I want to study.”
Old Lady Qin just took it as a casual comment. This granddaughter hasn’t studied for two months. Can she take up classes when she returns to school?
Qin Hongfei didn’t care. It was winter vacation now and there was still a long way before the school day started.
After coming out of the Qin Family’s main house, Qin Fei held the red envelope, a little excited: “Why did grandma suddenly change tonight? This is the first time Grandma has given us a face like this. And look at how embarrassed the fifth branch’s face is….” She let out a deep sigh she had held for a long time.
Qin Hongfei had to pour cold water on her: “Sister, face is not given by others, it is fought for by yourself. If we don’t find out tonight that the fifth branch’s son stole the money, this dirty water will be poured on us. By then, do you think grandma can still be so kind to us? She is just trying to compensate us and vent our anger so that the relationship between us and the fifth branch will not become too tense.”
