Chapter 5

Chen Meihong looked up at her, her eyes full of sarcasm: “You said you treat me as your best friend, why didn’t you even want to borrow five dollars from me yesterday? Is this why you treat me as your best friend?”

“I told you I didn’t have any. I had used up all my pocket money and only had one dollar on me. But you didn’t believe me. In the end, you even pushed me down the stairs just for five dollars.”

“And you didn’t feel any guilt at all. You didn’t even help me get someone to take me to the hospital.”

Xu Leshu suddenly burst into tears: “If Aunt Zhou hadn’t seen me and sent me to the hospital, I would be dead now. You pushed me down the stairs for five dollars. You are so cruel.”

Xu Leshu reached out to wipe away her tears. She knew that it was an instinctive reaction of her body. She was sad why her best friend pushed her down the stairs for five dollars. The friendship between them was not worth even five dollars.

Chen Meihong lowered her eyes and a tear fell from her red eye sockets.

“Why are you making me sad here? How is it possible that you are a person who gets everything you want, but you don’t have five dollars? Now that we have fallen out, you should stop pretending.”

Xu Lehui looked at her and explained to his sister: “My second sister really has no pocket money. She took that one dollar from me.”

“She wanted to go out with you yesterday and buy two bottles of soda for you guys to drink.”

“Although my second sister usually has more pocket money than me, she never saves it for the next day. She spends it on food and hairbands on the same day. My second sister really didn’t lie to you.”

Chen Meihong stared blankly for a moment, then lowered her eyes so that no one could see the emotion in her eyes, and just her shoulders drooped a little.

No one expected that it was actually Chen Erya who pushed Xu Leshu down the stairs, and just for the five dollars that she couldn’t borrow.

Seeing everyone’s eyes on her, Mrs. Chen grabbed Chen Erya’s hair and slapped her hard.

“You bitch, why did my Chen family produce a scum like you? You actually pushed someone down the stairs for just five dollars.”

“You have enough food and clothes at home, what else are you not satisfied with? Even if you need money, why don’t you ask me?”

Chen Meihong covered her beaten face and looked up at her good grandmother.

Mrs. Chen used all her strength to slap him, and the corner of her mouth was bruised.

The face was covered in blood and swelled up quickly, with a clear slap mark appearing on it.

Gradually he began to laugh, then he laughed out loud, tears falling like rain.

“I have enough to eat. Normally I can only eat cold rice, pickles and cabbage. My third brother and younger brother eat meat but I can’t even have soup. This is what you call having enough to eat.”

“I have enough clothes to wear. The clothes I have left over from my sister are from my second uncle’s eldest sister. You can use the cloth coupons to make clothes for dad, for my third and youngest brothers, and for yourself.”

“Even my shoes were given to me by my second uncle’s older sister. Apart from the two pairs of shoes my mother made for me, I have never owned new shoes since I was a child.”

“So this is what you mean by having enough clothes for me? My grandma, you really are lying when you lie.”

Wang Xiaocao looked at her mother-in-law’s angry eyes and quickly pulled her hand.

“Erya, stop talking. Even if this is the case, you have grown up well. What girl doesn’t do housework? As long as the clothes are not broken, why waste money to make new ones?”

“And what do you want five dollars for? Even if you don’t have five dollars, you can’t push someone down the stairs.”

Chen Meihong shook her hand away and said, “Why are you pretending to be kind? You and grandma are birds of a feather. Apart from exploiting me, you don’t care about me at all.”

“Do you know why I want five dollars? Because of me, your daughter is being blackmailed by gangsters outside. If I can’t pay, they will destroy me and strip me naked and throw me on the street.”

“I asked you for five dollars, but you refused me without asking anything and even scolded me. If you had given it to me, would I have asked Xu Leshu to borrow it?”

“It’s all because of you. If you had given me five dollars, nothing would have happened. I wouldn’t have accidentally pushed her down the stairs just to borrow five dollars.”

“It’s all because of you.”

Listening to his daughter’s desperate accusations, Wang Xiaocao looked at her blankly, his eyes gradually turning red. Is this still his daughter? Why did it turn out like this?

Chen Meihong didn’t dare to look into Xu Leshu’s eyes, and her back slumped down.

“It’s not that I didn’t save you. I thought you were dead. You were bleeding a lot.”

“I’m just too scared to know that you didn’t Death, there is no way I won’t ask someone to take you to the hospital. ”

“Pah…”

“Is this what I taught you? You didn’t tell your family when you encountered problems, and you blamed them for doing something like this. I sent you to study for so many years, but all the books you read were wasted.”

Chen Meihong fell to the ground after being beaten and didn’t move. She just let Mrs. Chen beat her, but she felt relieved.

Say whatever you need to say without worrying about it being exposed.

He Meifen quickly stopped her: “Aunt Chen, please stop it. You are going to beat the child to death.”

Mrs. Chen, whose arm was grabbed by someone, looked coldly at Chen Erya lying on the ground: “It would be better to beat her to death. She should not have been born in the first place. Now that she has grown up, she has no gratitude towards her family.”

“Now she has caused such a big disaster without telling her family. Look at how she treats me and her mother.”

Then she looked at Xu Leshu and said, “Xiaoshu, I really didn’t know that this evil creature dared to push you and escape. Don’t worry, our Chen family will not protect her at all.”

“You can do whatever you want. We won’t say anything even if you send her to the police station. But Xiaoshu, can you spare her a little bit because of your friendship in the past?”

Chen Meihong, lying on the ground, listened to her grandmother giving up on her. It was impossible for her not to have expectations in her heart.

But when I heard it with my own ears, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed. What was she expecting? Didn’t I already know this in my heart?

“What do you mean by mercy? My daughter still has gauze wrapped around her head and her face is as pale as a piece of paper. You still want us to let your granddaughter go? What bullshit are you talking about?”

Xu Leshu looked at Chen Meihong, who had a dead look on her face, and said, “I’ll give you two choices. One is that I’ll call the police directly. As for how the police sentence you, I won’t interfere.”

“Don’t call the police, Xiaoshu. Auntie begs you, please don’t call the police. If you call the police, Erya will be ruined. She studies so well, she will definitely be admitted to university. If you call the police, Erya’s life will be over.”

“Please let her go this time. I will definitely discipline her in the future.”

“You still know that your Erya is ruined. If Sister Shufen hadn’t passed by and sent my daughter to the hospital, my daughter would have died. Do you deserve to be treated like this by your Erya?”
