Chapter 2 Holding a kitchen knife and chasing my grandmother

Luo Xingci walked up to her, raised her hand and slapped her hard, “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, I’ll torture you slowly.” She leaned close to Wu Haixia’s ear and whispered. This woman was good at pretending, in her previous life, she kept instigating Old Lady Luo and the others to beat her. She wanted to go to school, but Wu Haixia kept brainwashing her, saying that girls didn’t need to read so many books, saying that a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent.

 In front of outsiders, she pretended to be a good stepmother, but as soon as she got home, she would beat and scold her. Every time she was beaten, she would go to her scumbag father, Luo Jianmin, and tell him. At that time, she was young and still thought he would care about their blood ties, but what did she get in return? They beat her even more mercilessly. Later, in order to survive in this family, she tried to please everyone in the Luo family, but they still didn’t like her. Even if they saw her being beaten to death, they wouldn’t even look at her, and they would even say that she deserved it. In this family, she either worked or went to work. Even in the middle of the night, if the Luo family’s boys wanted to eat, she had to get up in the middle of the night to cook for them.

Thinking back to her previous life, Luo Xingci hit her even harder. Rather than being bullied, she might as well stand up and fight back. Even if everyone said she was unfilial, she didn’t care. She would just move all the Luo family members to the homes of those gossiping people and let them support them. Old Lady Luo slowly woke up and remembered that it was Wu Haixia, that bitch, who pushed her out to be a scapegoat. She was so angry that her face turned green. Now, seeing her being beaten to the point where she was looking for her teeth on the ground, she couldn’t even be bothered to look. Taking advantage of Luo Xingci’s distraction, Old Lady Luo stood up and rushed out. L

uo Xingci was stunned for a moment, and in that moment of distraction, Wu Haixia slipped away and ran out. “Help! Luo Xingci is crazy, she’s going to kill us!” Wu Haixia shouted as she ran, her two feet like wheels, running as fast as she could. Seeing this, Luo Xingci also went into the kitchen and grabbed a kitchen knife. She held the knife in her hand and chased after Old Lady Luo and Wu Haixia, shouting as she ran, ” Wu Haixia, you poisonous woman, you dared to mess around outside after marrying into my Luo family, you even dared to hook up with men outside, are you worthy of my father, are you worthy of the Luo family? The Luo family is blind to let a piece of trash like you in.” Those who wanted to persuade her all closed their mouths. After all, stealing a man was something everyone despised, especially since Wu Haixia, this woman, didn’t have to work or go to work, and she liked to wiggle her butt when she walked. Every time their men saw her, they would look at her for a long time. Now, seeing her being chased and hacked by her stepdaughter, they felt a little bit of relief in their hearts.

Reputation is given by others, she didn’t care whether Wu Haixia had hooked up with men outside or not, but she would make it a reality! Everyone was discussing it, regardless of whether it was true or not, they just spread it around. “No way, did Wu Haixia really cheat on someone outside? Could it be that Xingci, that child, is making it up? After all, we didn’t see it with our own eyes before!” There were still some neighbors with a conscience, but not many. “Maybe she secretly went into the cornfield with a wild man, no wonder she always ran to the mountain, it turns out there was her old lover on the mountain.” “Cut it out, I saw through her the first time I saw her, she’s a restless one. Only Luo Lao San treats her like a treasure. Even if she didn’t mess around with men outside, she’s still second-hand goods. The first seven days of mourning for her previous husband hadn’t even passed, and she couldn’t wait to bring her into the house. Isn’t she afraid that Chunxiu will come back in the middle of the night to settle the score with him?” Old Lady Luo listened to their gossip and slapped Wu Haixia, who was beside her, with a loud slap. Whether it was true or not, but since everyone was talking about it, it was this bitch’s fault. She didn’t care whether it was true or not, as long as she didn’t ruin the Luo family’s reputation. When Lin Chunxiu’s first seven days of mourning hadn’t even passed, this bitch had been blowing in her son’s ear, telling him to get married quickly.

What would people outside think of the Luo family? It took a lot of effort to stop this storm, and now it was being brought up again in front of them, as if the Luo family’s face was being rubbed on the ground. Her face turned green. Wu Haixia was also stunned. After coming to the Luo family, Old Lady Luo didn’t like her that much, but she had never spoken to her loudly, let alone hit her. Listening to Luo Xingci’s nonsense and the ugly women pointing at her, she immediately stopped and defended herself. “Luo Xingci, how can you say that about me? Even if you don’t like me, you can’t slander me like this! When did I hook up with men outside? Who did I hook up with, you find that wild man for me! No matter what, I’m your mother, you don’t recognize me as your mother, I recognize you, but when you say this, have you thought about your father? Have you thought about the Luo family’s reputation?” Wu Haixia covered her face that had been slapped and started to cry, she looked as wronged as she could be.

She hadn’t done any work, and she was a white lotus, so she looked a little bit pitiful. Before she could speak, Luo Xingci spoke before her, ” Wu Haixia, you only know how to shed a few tears to act pitiful, but I’m not like your men, I don’t feel sorry for you. No wonder my mother’s first seven days of mourning hadn’t even passed, and my father let you come in quickly. You’re very experienced in serving men, right? Everyone be careful, if you hook up with your men and give away all the family’s money, you’ll have nowhere to cry.” She wanted to rub the Luo family’s face on the ground and let everyone trample on it. She would never let the Luo family have any chance to turn things around. Old Lady Luo’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot, her old face was gloomy. She suppressed her anger and said, “Luo Xingci, what are you babbling about? You’re so young, you’re chasing after your own grandmother with a knife. Just now, at home, Wu Haixia and I just wanted to cook you an egg, you weren’t satisfied and beat us up. Isn’t that enough? Even if you don’t like your stepmother, I slapped her just now. What’s the matter, let’s go home and wait for your grandfather and your father to come back and talk about it.” Old Lady Luo’s words were threatening. If you had to say who was the most ruthless in the Luo family, it had to be Old Man Luo and her scumbag father.

“Grandma, do you dare to swear that you were cooking me an egg at home, instead of letting me go out to work on an empty stomach? If you weren’t cooking me an egg, then the Luo family will be childless from now on. Do you dare to swear?” Old Lady Luo, of course, didn’t dare to swear. “You little brat, what kind of oath are you taking? This is feudal superstition! Come back with me.” She was about to drag Luo Xingci back home. Wu Haixia also chimed in, “Your grandma is right, let’s go home, we’re going to be laughed at.” If she didn’t go back, she couldn’t hold back her anger. “You’re cheating on someone outside, no one laughs at you, why are you laughing at me?” Luo Xingci waved her hand away with the knife.
