"Qin Xiangi, you bitch, what has my nephew ever done to offend you? How dare you hit him? I'll tear your face apart," Guan Xiaojie was fuming with rage. She had recently been taunted coldly and mockingly by this sister-in-law, which had left her feeling unhappy. Being soone with a nasty temper, she wasn't used to taking any flak.
She went straight for Qin Xiangi and grabbed her by the hair.
The mont Qin Xiangi heard the word "bitch", she was also infuriated and beca hysterical. The two sisters-in-law were grappling each other's hair, clawing at each other's faces, both sprawled on the ground—you tear at , I yank at you.
Hu Li was startled by the ruckus outside and hurried out, only to see her own daughter and daughter-in-law tearing into each other. On one side, Guan Cheng was bawling loudly, and she herself was so shocked she stood there stupefied for a long ti, not knowing whether to console the child or to separate the two.
The door creaked open. Song Wang stood at the doorway, coldly observing the two won tussling in the room, seemingly intent on ripping each other's hair out and scratching each other's faces to shreds, cursing with all the vile words they could muster.
A shrew really is a shrew. His mother was right; there is indeed a reason for matching social classes—children from a family like theirs wouldn't stoop to such lowliness, not to ntion utter filth against soone's ancestors.
Yet he couldn't understand—both having the surna Qin and sharing the sa blood—why Qin Xiangnuan didn't seem to co from this sort of family. Could it really be innate, Qin Xiangi inheriting the flawed genes of Hu Li?
He had initially thought about bringing the child back, after all, Qin Xiangi was the mother. Since life had already deteriorated to this state, why not make things easier for everyone? But now, seeing this, he sneered in cold detachnt.
So people, indeed, do not deserve chances.
"What are you doing?" Qin Pengfei's eyes bulged at the sight. He strode forward and pulled Qin Xiangi and Guan Xiaojie apart, both won looking far from decent—hair tousled, faces sullied, scratches visible on their faces, necks, and hands.
"What is this?" Qin Pengfei roared at Qin Xiangi. In his heart, how could his sister be closer to him than his own wife?
However, Guan Xiaojie, despite her aggressive nature, was not dumb and knew how to play the victim in front of her husband.
She tearfully grabbed Guan Cheng.
"Pengfei, look at Chengcheng's face, your sister did that to him. He's just a little child, how could she bear to hit him so hard? What if his ear got damaged, how am I supposed to explain this to my big brother?"
Qin Pengfei took one look at Guan Cheng's face and imdiately lost his cool.
"Qin Xiangi, what gives you the right to hit soone? Hitting Guan Cheng like that is like hitting . Is it because you've had two children, and now you're mocking for not being able to have any?"
Saying this, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to hit Qin Xiangi to vent his own anger.
Qin Xiangi dusted off her clothes, threw the newly-bought sofa cushions on the floor, then pointed towards the door, "Leave, get out this instant. My ho can't support your whole family, living in my own house is apparently my mistake."
And there Qin Pengfei stood, his hand hanging in mid-air, unable to retract it, yet unable to bring it down either.
"Mom," Qin Xiangi stepped over the couch cushion on the floor, no longer intending to keep it, she called out to Hu Li, who only then seed to respond.
What's she calling her for?
"Mom, tomorrow you and dad go back ho, and later you can visit whenever you like, I'll buy the tickets for you. But that whole family of theirs, it's better if they don't co. I don't want others coveting my house, saring their snot all over it - I bought all this with money; if it gets dirty and can't be washed off, who will compensate ?"
Her words, both explicitly and implicitly, were taunting Qin Pengfei's entire family. Qin Pengfei's face turned red with embarrassnt, feeling utterly ashad. Qin Xiangi wasn't just talking nonsense; Guan Xiaojie had ntioned more than once about wanting a house in the Capital City. Since Qin Xiangnuan had many houses and shops, they were resolved to get one or two of them to live off for several generations. They knew whether they pleaded softly or fought fiercely, if she wouldn't give it, she simply wouldn't. Moreover, these properties weren't even registered under the Qin surna currently, and with the relationship they had with Qin Xiangyang, they were even worse off than strangers - enemies, in fact.
There was no benefit to be sought from Qin Xiangyang, so they turned their sights on Qin Xiangi, spurred on by Guan Xiaojie whispering pillow talk in his ear, suggesting that since the sister is enjoying the at, she should at least let her brother sip so soup.
That's what Qin Pengfei thought too - with the properties in the Capital City said to only increase in value over ti, Song Wang has money anyway, why not just buy another property for Qin Xiangi?
Of course, all this was just his fantasy. They had discussed this so many tis in the dark, already considering the house their own possesion. Maybe they spoke of it so often that even the young Guan Cheng had heard about it.
Now being criticized by Qin Xiangi like this, naturally, Qin Pengfei couldn't save face, coveting soone else's property right in front of his sister and brother-in-law; it would embarrass anyone.
Song Wang sneered inwardly.
None of the Qin family mbers were any good.
He really wanted to slam the door and walk out, to smack the Qins in the face, but years of upbringing told him he couldn't do such a thing, so he stood by the door, coldly staring at the ugly, greedy faces of the family.
Qin Xiangi had already had enough of Guan Xiaojie, and after this commotion, the Qin family mbers had no sha staying here. But they underestimated just how thick-faced the Qins were, allowing Guan Xiaojie to continue living the high life.
No matter how Qin Xiangi ridiculed them openly or covertly, they were intent on not leaving.
Fine then, Qin Xiangi was no easy fruit to squeeze; she'd been wanting to see her children anyway, and even if The Jians' parents didn't want to see her, at least they would provide her with food and drink.
With a slap on her butt, she had the property managent cut off their water and electricity; she wanted to see how they'd live here now.
Originally, once Qin Xiangi left, Guan Xiaojie thought she'd co alive, as if the house was hers, wanting to disgust Qin Xiangi to death and clear her out of the house for good; she'd set her sights on it and wouldn't leave, co hell or high water.
But when evening ca, suddenly there was no electricity at ho, not to ntion Guan Xiaojie was in the midst of taking a shower, her head full of suds, then suddenly the water stopped, no more hot nor cold water, and even the heating stopped – her hair nearly turned to ice.
"Mom, what did you do, why is the water cut off?"
She trembled with cold, shouting loudly towards the outside.
Hu Li didn't know what was happening; how would she know why the water and electricity were cut off, as she was in the middle of watching TV.
