70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 19 Vicious Thoughts

Normally his family gives him a lot of delicious food, but recently he wanted to try the new malt sugar in town, but his grandmother was reluctant to buy it for him. Now he was a little tempted.

Seeing this, Old Lady Ma was so angry that she trembled all over and quickly pulled her grandson:

"Shen Nanqiao, what do you want to do! Do you want to trick my Xiaoyu into lying?"

Shen Nanqiao stood up and looked at Old Lady Ma with cold eyes:

"I saved your grandson, and now you want me to give you a hundred dollars. How can this be justified in this world?
If everyone lies and extorts money like you, who will dare to save any child in the village if they get into trouble?"

Shen Nanqiao looked at Xiaopang again, "Xiaoyu, now the special agents will arrest bad guys and lying children in the countryside.
Tell the truth to everyone, and I'll give you all the candy. I'll buy you more maltose when I go to town some other day."

When Xiaoyu heard this, he immediately took the candy and put it in his mouth and started chewing:

"Grandma, I just fell down accidentally, and someone rescued me. I didn't expect it was Shen Nanqiao."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone sighed and looked at Old Lady Ma.

This old lady Ma is really crazy about extorting money!

Old Ma was so embarrassed by everyone's gazes that she raised her hand to pinch Little Fatty, who screamed:

"Didn't you just tell grandma that it was Shen Nanqiao who pushed you down?"

Xiaopang held the candy tightly and said, "I lied because I was afraid you would scold me. I don't want to be arrested by the special envoy!"

"Aunt Ma, your child is so young and has already learned to lie. What are you going to do with him in the future? You have to educate him well!"

Song Xia and Jiang's father didn't expect that Shen Nanqiao could explain the misunderstanding with just a few pieces of maltose.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Nanqiao at the same time, with different emotions in their eyes.

Shen Nanqiao patted the water off his body, looked at everyone, and said seriously:
"My fellow villagers, I, Shen Nanqiao, have done many wrong things in the past, and I apologize to you all here.

I am Jiang Zhe's daughter-in-law. From now on, we are neighbors and it is better for us to live in harmony."

Father Jiang's face was filled with shock and he looked at Song Xia in disbelief.

Is this still Shen Nanqiao?

Song Xia smiled with satisfaction, walked up to Shen Nanqiao and patted her on the shoulder. Seeing that her clothes were wet, she said:

"Nan Qiao, let's go home. You saved the child and fell into the water. Mom will wash your clothes when you get home, and you can take a good hot bath."

Shen Nanqiao nodded, picked up the cloth, and left with Song Xia and others.

After a while, the crowd dispersed, leaving only Xiaoyu and Old Lady Ma eating candy.

Old Lady Ma’s eyes turned grim.

Shen Nanqiao's Xiaohan had bullied her Xiaoyu before, but now she is pretending to be a good person here!

She must get this hundred yuan!
Old Mrs. Ma stared with her small green bean-like eyes, her eyeballs moving non-stop.

Since Shen Nanqiao bullied her grandson, Shen Nanqiao’s children will not have an easy time either!

Thinking of this, Old Lady Ma stepped forward and grabbed Xiaoyu, and the candy in Xiaoyu's hand fell to the ground.

He glared at Granny Ma: "Why did you throw away my candy? I hate you! You're a bad grandma!"

Xiaoyu's current rogue character is all caused by Grandma Ma.

But Grandma Ma never expected that Xiaoyu now even ignored her.

"That woman gave you candy and you changed your tune! Is that what your grandma taught you?

"You're being so mean! What's so good about this candy? I'll buy you ten of them some other day!"

"You're lying! I know there's no money at home! Dad hasn't sent any money this month! I don't care, I want candy, you have to get me a clean piece of candy!"

Seeing Xiaoyu throwing tantrums and rolling on the ground, Old Lady Ma was so angry that she looked at the three girls standing nearby and yelled at them:

"You three money-loser bastards, didn't you hear your brother ask for candy? What are you still standing here for?
It’s hard to make money even if you work hard every day! Grow up quickly and get married! "

The Ma family had a total of four children, and three daughters were born first.

Old Mrs. Ma banged her head against the pillar and cried loudly, saying that she had married a hen that couldn't lay eggs and all the eggs she gave birth to were a loss of money.

Finally, the fourth child was a boy, and Old Mrs. Ma was very happy. However, this also made Ma's wife very upset, and she committed suicide by jumping into the river during her confinement.

Old Mrs. Ma felt upset when she saw the three girls.

But when I think about waiting for them to grow up and get married, the dowry money from these three children alone will be enough for the Ma family to live a good life for several years.

Only then did they reluctantly tolerate them eating and staying at home.

The three girls looked at their grandmother with eyes wide open, and like the King of Hell, they were so scared that they trembled all over and turned and ran away.

Old Ma pulled Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu, listen to grandma and go home with grandma."

"I want candy! I want candy!"

"When we get home, grandma will buy you some candy."

On the way home, when passing by Jiang's house, Xiaoyu suddenly smelled a fragrance, which was the smell of braised pork with preserved vegetables.

Xiaoyu's stomach growled with hunger: "Grandma, I want to eat this too!"

Old Mrs. Ma glanced over and cursed.

She had originally tried to find a good connection for her grandson to get a job at the steel mill, but Jiang's father flatly rejected her plan.

Because she didn’t take her grandson as an apprentice, she didn’t get the job at the steel mill.

Now I can only do some small business in town, and I have to be on guard against being caught at all times.

The Ma family’s hard times have not been just one or two days, and their feud with the Jiang family has not been just one or two days.

In Old Lady Ma's opinion, their family is so poor because of Jiang's father.

Now there is another Shen Nanqiao!
In a blink of an eye, Old Ma saw Shen Nanqiao leading Jiang Yaoyao out of the house. Jiang Yaoyao said in a baby voice, "Mom, you promised Yaoyao that you would bring some candy back for Yaoyao after get off work tomorrow."

"Mom promised Yaoyao, I will definitely do it."

Old Ma gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes full of resentment, and she said fiercely, "Humph, tomorrow I will make that little girl taste the pain my grandson went through today!"

When they returned to the Ma family, the three girls had no money to buy candy.

Besides, this tube-shaped building is dilapidated and is the worst place in this remote and poor countryside. It is not even close to the most beautiful villages.

In this area, who can afford to open a small shop?
If you want to buy anything, you have to go all the way to town.

Old Ma pulled Xiaoyu into the house and said unhappily:

"Xiao Yu, there's still a little bit of fat left at home. Grandma will fry some lard for you to make noodles with. Is that okay?"

"Why can the Jiang family eat all kinds of delicious food, but I can only eat noodles every day! You are a bad grandma, you are not good to me at all!
I want my dad to come back, he will bring me lots of delicious food!" Xiaoyu cried.

"Xiao Yu! It's all your three sisters' fault. They're all money-losing bastards!

"We eat free meals at home every day. Three people can only eat three bowls! When grandma marries them off, she will prepare delicious food for you every day. How about that?"

Old Mrs. Ma coaxed impatiently.
