Chapter 869 Scapegoat (3)
Finally, at Xu Jinhuan's insistence, the village chief sent her and Huang Xiu home.
Huang Xiudu had a gloomy face on the way, and would glare at Xu Jinhuan from time to time.
When he got home, Xu Changsong was about to lose his temper when he noticed the village chief behind him. He immediately took out a cigarette and said ingratiatingly, "Uncle, what brings you here? Is there something you need to tell me?"
"What's going on? Isn't this all your family's business? Huanhuan is your own daughter. How can you bully her just because she looks like your mother?"
Xu Changsong quickly said, "I didn't bully her."
He glanced at Xu Jinhuan behind the village chief and frowned, "Did this girl tell on you?"
"If not, why does she have so many injuries on her arms?" the village chief questioned sternly.
"That was...that was because she bullied her brother, so I taught her a lesson," Xu Changsong argued.
The village chief scoffed, "Do you think I believe that?"
Xu Changsong pursed his lips, wanting to argue, but seeing the village chief's cold gaze, he had no choice but to give up.
“I’ve decided to send this child to the city to learn hairdressing from my relative. From now on, please don’t call this child unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Xu Changsong suddenly raised his head: "How can that be? Our family can't do without her."
"Why can't you get a divorce? Can't you do the work she can do? Besides, she's not your only child. What about your other three children? Are they going to be princesses and princes?" the village chief said irritably.
Xu Changsong said, "Other children are different from her; they have to go to school, and they are not as diligent as she is."
“The child is already so big, you can’t just let the child stay at home all the time, can you? As parents, you have to think about the child, instead of sucking blood from the child.”
The village chief really disliked this family; they were so clueless.
A child's appearance is not something they can decide.
However, he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Xu Jinhuan going to the office today. He looked at Xu Jinhuan, frowned and said, "If there's anything in the future, just talk to me privately. Don't make such a fuss. It's not good for your family's reputation if it gets out."
Xu Jinhuan nodded obediently, but she didn't care. It wasn't her reputation that was being damaged, so why should she care?
As soon as the village chief left, Xu Changsong and Huang Xiu were about to attack Xu Jinhuan, but Xu Jinhuan simply walked them around like dogs.
During this time, Xu Yue, Xu Ce, and Xu Xing were used as shields, which made Xu Changsong and Huang Xiu wary and no longer dare to act recklessly.
Huang Xiu glared at Xu Jinhuan and threatened, "If you're so disobedient, get out of this house!"
"Fine, I'll get out!" Xu Jinhuan opened the door and went straight to the village chief's house.
The village chief said with a hint of exasperation, "Why are you here again?"
Xu Jinhuan said, feeling wronged, "My parents, my younger brother and sister started hitting me as soon as you left."
Upon hearing this, the village chief's wife patted her head tenderly and sighed, "Poor child."
As she spoke, she gave her husband a wink.
Let's help if we can!
The village chief said with a hint of helplessness, "So when do you plan to leave?"
"I'm afraid to go back, can I..."
The village chief rolled his eyes; he had never seen such a shameless child.
He waved his hand and said, "Then you can stay here tonight, and I'll have your aunt take you to the city first thing tomorrow morning."
Xu Jinhuan nodded obediently.
Xu Changsong and Huang Xiu dared not chase after him inside, and could only wait for Xu Jinhuan at the village chief's door, but Xu Jinhuan did not come out until all the lights in the house were turned off.
"That brat!" Huang Xiu couldn't help but spit out a curse, "She's just as cunning as her grandmother."
Xu Changsong frowned: "Don't say things like that again."
Huang Xiu glared at him: "So now you know to protect that old man? Why didn't you protect him before?"
Xu Changsong thought to himself, "Can saying these things at home be the same as saying them outside?"
"Anyway, don't say these things outside anymore," Xu Changsong warned.
Seeing her husband's expression turn serious, Huang Xiu immediately gave in: "Okay, I understand."
She muttered to herself, "Fine, I won't say it then."
She glanced at the tightly closed door and said, "Let's go back. It looks like that brat isn't coming out tonight."
He harbored resentment towards the village chief for meddling in his affairs.
When the two returned home, Xu Ce saw that Xu Jinhuan was not back and jumped up: "Where is that brat? Didn't you promise me you'd teach her a lesson?"
“She’s hiding in the village chief’s house,” Huang Xiu said.
Xu Ce was somewhat displeased: "So, we're just going to leave it at that?"
Huang Xiu said, "That's nothing. When she gets out, we'll definitely teach her a lesson."
Xu Ce nodded in satisfaction.
Huang Xiu asked her son with concern, "Does your body still hurt?"
Xu Ce replied, "It still hurts a little."
Huang Xiu said, "Then Mom will put some safflower oil on you."
Xu Ce said with some disgust, "I don't want it, the smell is too awful."
Huang Xiu said helplessly, "Alright then, Mom will buy you some other medicine tomorrow."
Huang Xiu still values her only son very much.
"But I'm still in a lot of pain. You need to think of something quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep, and not being able to sleep will affect my growth," Xu Ce said with a displeased expression.
Huang Xiu glanced at the sky outside, extremely worried: "It's so late, what can I do?"
There are no medical facilities in the village; the nearest hospital is in the town, about five or six kilometers away.
And even if you could go, it would be closed this late.
Huang Xiu explained it to Xu Ce.
Xu Ce pouted: "I don't care."
His eyes darted around, and he added, "Give me a hundred dollars, and I can put up with it."
Huang Xiu chuckled and pinched Xu Ce's nose: "I think you just want to ask me for a hundred yuan."
"Hehe." Xu Ce laughed and grabbed Huang Xiu's arm, starting to act coquettishly, "Mom, then just tell me if you'll give it to me or not."
"Give it to you, who else can I give it to?" Huang Xiu sighed.
He went back to his room, took out a hundred yuan, gave it to his son, and told him, "Spend it sparingly."
Xu Ce nodded repeatedly.
Xu Yue and Xu Xing, who were standing nearby, were itching to do something. Xu Yue nudged Xu Xing with her elbow, and Xu Xing tentatively said, "Mom, could you give me a hundred yuan too?"
Huang Xiu's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a dark expression: "One hundred yuan? Not a single penny! Do you think your father had an easy time earning this one hundred yuan?"
Xu Xing pouted, feeling wronged: "You gave my second brother a hundred yuan, why can't you give me one?"
Previously, in order to make the original owner sad, Huang Xiu would deliberately be nice to Xu Xing and Xu Yue in front of the original owner, which is why Xu Xing had the courage to ask that question.
He didn't say anything, and Xu Xing still wanted more.
Huang Xiu scolded her. She was already angry about her eldest daughter's behavior, and now her youngest daughter was being unreasonable.
Seeing that reasoning with her wasn't working, she simply pointed to the door and said, "If you want it again, get out! I don't know who you learned it from, all you ever think about is money, money, money. Do you think our money grows on trees?"
Xu Xing's eyes reddened from being scolded.
Xu Ce made a smug face at her and whispered, "You good-for-nothing."
Xu Xing's tears welled up instantly, and she said with some grievance, "Mom..."
"Don't call me Mom!" Huang Xiu shouted.
He then said to his eldest daughter, "That brat of your older sister probably won't be coming back. From now on, you and your younger sister will be doing all the housework!"
"Mom!" Xu Yue exclaimed anxiously, "I still have to do my homework. Only after I finish it can I tutor Xiao Ce."
"With your lousy grades, what kind of tutor are you?!" Huang Xiu roared. "Let me tell you, if your grades are still like this next year, you might as well quit school!"
Xu Yue looked at her mother in disbelief: "I...but..."
"No buts!"
Xu Xing immediately fell silent, as if she had realized something.
The next morning, the village chief's wife, Hong Le, took Xu Jinhuan home.
Of course, we weren't there to send her back; we were there to collect her identification documents.
Huang Xiu didn't want to give it to him, saying, "The child is still so young, I'm a little worried about him."
Hong Le immediately rolled her eyes at her: "She's so young, and you're willing to marry her off and let her go out to work. What's there to worry about?"
Huang Xiu argued, "These are not the same thing."
“It’s the same thing wherever you are. Give it to me now, or I’ll have my man…” Hong Le paused deliberately.
Huang Xiu glared at Xu Jinhuan, went back to her room, took out her ID, and handed it to her irritably: "You've really grown up, daring to use outsiders to pressure your mother. If you're so capable, then don't come back in the future."
"As you wish," Xu Jinhuan sneered.
Huang Xiuqi is incredibly charming.
I think this brat looks more and more like her mother-in-law as she grows up, with the same sharp tongue and biting wit.
