The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 214 - 210: The Master of Acting, Mrs. Xiao

Chapter 214: Chapter 210: The Master of Acting, Mrs. Xiao

Zhong Xiaonan is truly on the brink of collapse. She initially thought that Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao weren’t particularly savvy and that a few words would easily coax them into welcoming the three of them into their home, but the result...

"You can’t do this," Zhong Xiaonan said in despair, "We’re family. In such difficult times, you should extend a helping hand to the three of us.

To disregard and kick us while we’re down, are you even human?"

In response to Zhong Xiaonan, Xiao Chenxing splashed a basin of water.

Cold water poured over, from head to toe.

Xiao Chenxing tossed the wooden basin aside, her face indifferent. "Driving you away is kicking you while you’re down? Zhong Xiaonan, let me tell you, even now, we’re not kicking you down.

This is called striking a drowning dog!"

She was practically pointing at Zhong Xiaonan’s nose as she cursed, "Previously, there was no relationship between our families. Whether you soared high or were in dire straits, it was none of our business."

"What about the children?!"

Zhong Xiaonan, eyes red, gritted her teeth, "Xiao Aizhong and Jinbao are the biological grandchildren of the Xiao Family!"

"Just a couple of ungrateful wretches," Xiao Chenxing retorted, crossing her arms and sneering, "Our family’s child is Minmin."

"You..."

From beginning to end, Xiao Aizhong kept his head bowed, silent, as if he had accepted his fate.

But Xiao Jinbao was full of defiance, looking just like his mother.

With a face twisted in resentment and malice.

Yet, being young, he didn’t know how to conceal his true thoughts.

Mrs. Xiao looked on, feeling indifferent, having long known the behavior of that family, not holding onto any hopes.

"Mother!" Xiao Jinbao stood up, pulling Zhong Xiaonan, "Let’s not stay here. They’re all lowlifes. I don’t want to live here!"

He held his head high. "Let’s go back to the city!"

"Back to the city?" Just thinking about Xiao Chendong’s vile actions made Xiao Chenxing detest their entire family, wanting to crush them all.

She immediately lashed out at Xiao Jinbao, "Dreaming? Let me tell you, right now, you’re even lower than the country bumpkins~"

Xiao Chenxing laughed viciously, "At least we work the fields and earn work points, while you, if you go to the countryside, will only be able to dig wild greens to eat!"

Tsk tsk tsk, these arrogant city folk.

"Wuwuwuwu," the crying started. Xiao Aizhong crawled on her knees to Mrs. Xiao’s feet, sobbing, "Grandma, don’t abandon me.

I was wrong, I really was wrong. Earlier, I truly wanted to open the door for you."

She cried miserably, "But I was scared. Mother said that if I opened the door for you, letting you and Grandpa in, she would kick me out to starve.

Wuwuwu I was scared, Mother, she’d, she’d really do it."

Xiao Aizhong sobbed breathlessly, while simultaneously articulating her accusation against Zhong Xiaonan’s cruelty.

She lifted her clothing, revealing her scar-covered arm, "Grandma, what I said is all true.

Look! She never liked me. Whenever slightly displeased, she beat and cursed at me to vent. Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, please save me!"

Xiao Aizhong was really desperate, kneeling and kowtowing intensely.

Mrs. Xiao’s eyes were empty, her body trembling all over.

Mr. Xiao was startled, quickly pulling Mrs. Xiao, "Shilan, what’s wrong? Shilan, don’t scare me!"

Xiao Aizhong tried to keep lamenting, but Zhong Xiaonan kicked her over, snapping out of her daze. She looked at Xiao Aizhong scornfully, "Looks like my feeling was spot on earlier.

Xiao Aizhong, you really are an ungrateful wretch."

Xiao Aizhong collapsed on the ground, Mrs. Xiao was already convulsing towards her.

Mr. Xiao was in a panic, Xiao Chenye was dumbfounded too. Just a moment ago everything was fine, then suddenly it...

"Quick!" Mr. Xiao was frantic, "Old Five, go to the team’s house, get the wagon, let’s go to the hospital."

At first, Zhong Xiaonan thought Mrs. Xiao was faking it, but seeing her face gradually pale, she finally realized something was wrong.

Xiao Chenye was dazed, turning to Zhong Xiaonan, solemnly declaring, "Zhong Xiaonan, if anything happens to my mother, I’ll tear you apart, piece by piece."

Wen Ran raised her hand and slapped him, "Psycho, talking tough at a time like this?"

She pushed Xiao Chenye aside, quickly cradling Mrs. Xiao in her arms, "Go, we’re going to the team leader’s house."

Mr. Xiao tried to intervene but was rebuffed by Wen Ran’s words, "You can’t run faster than I can; just try to keep up."

Mr. Xiao: "..."

Though a bit hurtful, hearing those words inexplicably brought a sense of calm.

Xiao Chenxing shut the door, and the whole family hurried away.

Zhong Xiaonan and her companions were left at the door, staring at each other. She then raised her hand and slapped Xiao Aizhong again, "Idiot, didn’t you say this trick would work?"

Early on, Zhong Xiaonan knew that Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao wouldn’t easily accept her.

She made a backup plan, considering first sending Jinbao in.

But Xiao Aizhong claimed she had a way, which Zhong Xiaonan trusted, and the result...

Ended up being a complete mess.

Zhong Xiaonan sneered, "You’re utterly useless. Your talk was impressive, but it’s clear they didn’t follow your plan."

The slap stung, but strangely Xiao Aizhong found it somewhat gratifying. Although she was in a pitiful state now, a part of her knew Zhong Xiaonan and Xiao Jinbao wouldn’t fare much better.

They, too, were homeless.

"Mother," Xiao Aizhong lowered her head, "I’m sorry, I’m useless."

Zhong Xiaonan snorted, "Knowing you’re useless is enough; I thought you might have a good idea."

Xiao Aizhong raised her head, "Mother, I have one more idea."

"Another bad idea?"

"Mother, whether it’s a bad idea, you’ll know once you hear it.

Besides, we are now homeless. Any method must be tried, don’t you think?"

Zhong Xiaonan hung her head low, "Tell me what you’ve got."

"It’s like this..."

After leaving the boundaries of the Xiao Family, within five minutes, Mrs. Xiao’s breathing had steadied.

She opened her eyes, smiling at Wen Ran, "You have more strength than I thought."

Looking at Mrs. Xiao happily smiling in her arms, Wen Ran felt a bit bewildered.

She lowered her head, dryly asking, "Auntie, you’re okay?"

"What could be wrong?"

Mrs. Xiao gave Wen Ran’s arm a pat, gesturing for her to let go.

She stretched lazily, "Zhong Xiaonan is hard to deal with, but keep in mind, the toughest one is Xiao Aizhong."

Mrs. Xiao’s expression turned serious, "I didn’t expect that those two useless wastes, Xiao Chendong and Zhong Xiaonan, could produce such a ruthless child."

Indeed.

Mrs. Xiao considered Xiao Aizhong a tough character.

"She’s been downtrodden for so long, if ever she gets a chance for a comeback, we’ll all be in trouble.

This little rascal, her heart is truly ruthless. Far more capable than her parents, already filled with such hate, yet she keeps her head down without uttering a word."
