"I thought I made myself very clear yesterday." Tian Sangsang sneered coldly, "I wasn’t joking."
Chen Ming couldn’t hold back, clenching his fists again, and yelled angrily, "Tian Sangsang, how can you be so shaless, even slandering Tiantian and Teacher Zhou!"
Tian Sangsang shot him a sideways glance but didn’t respond. Luckily, Chen Ming and Tian Tian weren’t dating yet; otherwise, his head would already be a verdant green.
"Guilan, have you lost your mind? Why are you fussing around with her? Drag her here for !" Grandma Tian almost shouted.
"Aunt." Tian Sangsang eyed Chen Guilan’s eager expression and leisurely picked up a hoe. "I advise you not to co over; the thing in my hand doesn’t have eyes."
Chen Guilan stared at her cold eyes and rembered her fierce deanor from yesterday, where her strength was stronger than an ox. Her confidence waned a bit.
"Move aside!" Grandma Tian glared with her old eyes, straightening her back, and charged toward Tian Sangsang with all her might.
Sigh... Tian Sangsang frowned and nimbly dodged. The old woman didn’t manage to grab her and suddenly threw down her cane, sitting down on the ground with a thud. She opened her mouth and started wailing, "Oh, my son, why did you have to die so early? Why didn’t you take with you? Look at your daughter—such bad luck; it was her who cursed you! Now she’s here to kill too. I’m being tornted to death by this unfilial granddaughter—might as well let die!"
"Uh." Tian Sangsang looked at the old woman rolling around in the field, feeling irritated.
Little ng Shuyan trembled, his small body shaking, and his face turned pale with fear.
Tian Sangsang quickly covered ng Shuyan’s ears with one hand. ng Shuyan looked up at her, and Tian Sangsang smiled gently at him. Then, the mother and son both gazed at the old lady in stunned silence...
Grandma Tian wailed for a long ti, realizing the surrounding area was silent, especially Tian Sangsang, who stood there lifelessly like a log. Grandma Tian suddenly rembered that she used to pull this trick on her eldest son, but now he was gone, and Tian Sangsang wasn’t like her unlucky mother—she didn’t buy into her theatrics at all.
Grandma Tian shut her eyes and wailed even louder, her cries accompanied by snot and tears, "Everyone, co look and judge for yourself—this heartless granddaughter wants , her old grandmother, dead early..."
"Grandma, the ground is dirty; you should get up." Tian Sangsang felt a twinge of pity. After all, seeing an elderly person rolling around in the dirt, with her coarse clothes covered in soil, it’s hard not to feel sothing. But in an instant, Tian Sangsang rembered her own forr grandmother. When she was little, her grandma had a bit of favoritism, but that was normal. Overall, her grandma treated her quite well.
"You wretched brat, lousy girl!" Grandma Tian seized the opportunity to grab her hand harshly, her calloused hand pressing on her wound. Tian Sangsang uttered a low cry and hurriedly shook her hand free.
The old woman had exerted herself, making the blood from her wound gush even more.
"Mom, your hand is bleeding again." The little one’s eyes dimd, tears blurring his gaze.
"It’s nothing," Tian Sangsang held back her pain and suppressed her expression to avoid worrying her son. Well, her kind intentions simply went unnoticed, and people didn’t appreciate it.
But Tian Sangsang didn’t feel sad. Firstly, she wasn’t the original owner, and secondly, based on her mories, the original owner didn’t have much affection for this grandmother either, mainly because they hadn’t lived together for too long. Even strong feelings fade with ti, let alone between two people without a foundation of love. To put it bluntly, they were rely strangers connected by blood.
"Mom!" Chen Guilan felt her face burning with sha, utterly embarrassed by the old lady’s behavior.
"Grandma, grandma..." Tian Tian crouched down to hold Grandma Tian’s hand, her face full of deep sorrow. "Grandma, let’s get up. You still have as your granddaughter; let’s stop crying. Sangsang, why can’t you just apologize to grandma?" She widened her beautiful eyes in pitiful innocence.
Tian Sangsang: "..."
Are these people nuts.
"What’s going on here, what happened?" The sun was scorching hot, and Aunt Zhong arrived wearing a straw hat, only to see a whole crowd gathered in the field.
"Tiantian, what happened to your grandma? The sun is so fierce; how can you let her lie on the ground! Co on, get her up quickly." Aunt Zhong helped the old lady get up, easing the tense atmosphere.
Tian Tian looked at Aunt Zhong and explained ekly, "I was worried about my grandma. My sister made her so upset."
Aunt Zhong had long known of Grandma Tian’s unreasonable antics and said, "Quickly take your grandmother ho. She can’t take this kind of stress. I’ll talk to Sangsang myself. Everyone, let’s disperse now." She waved her hand decisively.
In truth, Aunt Zhong understood this girl Sangsang well—though she could be lazy, didn’t like work, and enjoyed eating, she didn’t have an ill heart nor did she enjoy stirring up trouble.
Grandma Tian, having created such a scene, felt disgraced and let Tian Tian and Chen Guilan help her away. Chen Ying and the others also sensibly scattered to tend to their own affairs.
...
Tian Sangsang let out a sigh of relief, placing the hoe next to the basket. She smiled and said, "Aunt Zhong, thank you for stepping in for ."
"Why so polite all of a sudden?" Aunt Zhong kept her eyes on Tian Sangsang; it seed like this girl truly had changed. Yesterday felt unnatural, but today was easier to accept.
"Usually, I see you rarely interact with your grandma’s family. Why did your grandma co looking for you today?"
Tian Sangsang smiled wryly, "Still about yesterday’s matter—Grandma insists I apologize to Tiantian."
"So unreasonable. Don’t even mind your grandma; your mom used to get tornted by her so much that she moved out with your dad to live separately." Aunt Zhong shook her head. "Tiantian’s face wasn’t badly hurt, but your head was fractured. They’re just bullying you because your family has no one left now. By the way, how’s your head doing? Does it still hurt?"
"Much better, it’s not a big deal." Tian Sangsang replied with a smile.
"You need to be careful, don’t take it lightly." Aunt Zhong wiped so sweat and hesitated for a mont. "Girl, I have one question for you. Yesterday, you said Tiantian and Teacher Zhou were getting intimate on the back hill—did they really hurt your head?"
"Auntie, you’ve watched grow up. I may have so quirks, but would I lie about my own injury? Everything I said is true, if you’re willing to believe ."
"Even if I believe you, what does it matter?" Aunt Zhong looked at her and ng Shuyan with affection and patiently advised, "For now, let’s endure it and act as if nothing happened. Life is best lived harmoniously. Being rescued and surviving—you’re lucky enough."
Tian Sangsang couldn’t agree with Aunt Zhong’s passive attitude, but since she knew Aunt Zhong ant well, she didn’t argue. "Mm, I understand. Oh, Auntie, did you co to harvest today?"
"Harvest what?" Aunt Zhong glanced down at the row of peanuts that had already been dug up and said directly, "I ca to lend you a hand. It’s your first ti working in the fields; you’re bound to find so things confusing."
"Oh, Auntie, I can’t trouble you like this. I can handle it myself." Looking at Aunt Zhong’s honest expression, Tian Sangsang felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Apart from her son, Aunt Zhong was the only person who cared about her since she transmigrated here.
