Although Xia Mian was not good at guessing people's minds, she knew that the hearts of these beasts were evil, so she should assume the worst. These two people must be planning to deal with her.
She ignored Huang Xiaojuan and took Xiaofeng to the bathroom to wash up. She accidentally saw the red frizzy hair in the mirror and her eyes hurt. She had to deal with this hair today no matter what! She wanted to continue to be her little fairy.
After washing up, Xia Mian went straight to the refrigerator.
Huang Xiaojuan, who had treated them as invisible, finally spoke up, "What are you going to do?"
Xia Mian took out the four remaining eggs and said, "Cooking, what's your business?"
Huang Xiaojuan saw that she dared to take so many eggs and sneered, "Of course I care! Put them down."
"Aren't you going to sue me?" Huang Xiaojuan simply stood up and grabbed it, "If you have the guts, don't eat my food!"
Xia Mian raised her foot directly, and Huang Xiaojuan stopped reflexively and said angrily, "You dare to hit me again?"
"Why not?" Xia Mian raised her chin, "You want to try?"
Huang Xiaojuan certainly didn't dare to try. Xia Mian walked around her impatiently and went to the kitchen. "I'm suing you because you're committing child abuse and breaking the law. What does that have to do with us eating?"
"Besides, this house was bought with my sister's compensation. It's unclear whether it belongs to your family."
When Huang Xiaojuan heard her bring up the matter again, her voice suddenly rose eight degrees, "I borrowed the money from my mother's family. It has nothing to do with your sister's compensation. Don't let your imagination run wild!"
Hei Guo had already thought it through for Xia Mian, "You said that, don't you just want to occupy our house? You are so young, but you have bad intentions. We will send you back in two days!"
"Whatever." Xia Mian rolled her eyes and when she passed by the dining table, she saw a bottle of milk on the table, half full, so she took it directly to the kitchen.
"That belongs to Xuanxuan!" Huang Xiaojuan said angrily, "Do you want to be kicked out right away?"
Xia Mian put the eggs and milk on the chopping board, looked at Huang Xiaojuan's angry expression and smiled, "I have to ask you this. If you let me stay here and study hard, then I won't sue you for abuse."
"But if you kick me out right away, I can't go to school anyway, and I can use the tuition money to hire a lawyer. But then it won't just be a child abuse case. I'll also sue you for murder."
Xia Mian took advantage of Huang Xiaojuan's ignorance and lied to her in a relaxed tone, "It may not be easy to investigate a case from four years ago, but you and Zhang Qiming are criminal suspects, so you will have to stay in prison for as long as the case lasts..."
"You know whether what I said yesterday is true or not. Ordinary people may not be bored enough to ask about it, but the police will investigate it seriously. By then, even if you are released from prison, your past will be thoroughly investigated."
"Even with the Huang family's situation, it will be impossible for you to pretend to be stupid by then."
Huang Xiaojuan's face changed, and for a moment she felt that Xia Mian seemed to have seen through their plan.
When Xia Mian saw her ugly face, she knew that she had grasped his weakness. She didn't expect that Huang Xiaojuan cared so much about her family background.
She said seriously, "So, are you going to kick me out?"
Huang Xiaojuan gritted her teeth for a long time, and finally thought of something, "You sue me, and I will sue you too. The assault you did yesterday constitutes a minor injury. Minors cannot go to jail, but they will still be sent to a juvenile detention center!"
Xia Mian sneered, "Did the police write you a note to check your injuries yesterday? Your injuries today were all caused by Zhang Qiming, right? You screamed so miserably yesterday, everyone in the building heard you, don't slander a good person."
Huang Xiaojuan was so angry that she clenched her fists. She couldn't find anything that could threaten Xia Mian for a long time, so she could only drag Xuanxuan back to the bedroom angrily.
With his ears finally quiet, Xia Mian concentrated on cooking.
She mixed milk, eggs and flour into a paste, intending to make a milk and egg omelet for Xiao Feng. Soon a rich aroma wafted over. Xiao Feng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his stomach rumbled.
Xia Mian carefully tore off a piece and handed it to him, "Be careful of the heat. After you finish this, you can eat the other half directly."
When Xiao Feng was eating, the bedroom door suddenly opened. It turned out that the fragrance was coming out. Xuan Xuan came over following the smell. He was not as cautious as Xiao Feng and was used to bullying Xiao Feng, so he directly grabbed it, "You bastard, this is mine!"
Xia Mian pushed his hand away and looked at Huang Xiaojuan who was standing at the bedroom door, "Are you sure you don't care about your son?"
"You dare to hit him?" Huang Xiaojuan raised her eyebrows.
Huang Xiaojuan didn't win the argument before, and she felt more and more suffocated the more she thought about it in her bedroom. She pondered over how to deal with Xia Mian for a long time, and now she had a plan in mind. Didn't Xia Mian like to make trouble? Then let her make trouble as much as she wanted!
Worried that the effect might not be enough, she went straight up and took an egg roll that Xia Mian had just made and stuffed it into Xuanxuan's mouth, "The milk originally belonged to our Xuanxuan, and the eggs also belong to our family, don't even think about having a bite!"
After she finished speaking, she opened the door. The fence-like security door could not block the noisy sounds outside. It was the rush hour in the building, and there were people coming and going. Huang Xiaojuan shouted, "Go ahead and hit him if you have the guts! What kind of ability is it to bully a child?!"
Xia Mian rolled her eyes. She was so hungry that she didn't have the energy to argue with her. She simply picked up Xiao Feng and went out.
Huang Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, a little confused by Xia Mian's sudden patience, until she saw her knocking on the door opposite. She thought she was going to complain again. Huang Xiaojuan cleared her throat and planned to cry her heart out.
However, on the other side, Xia Mian showed a helpless expression to Old Lady Liu who opened the door, "Aunt Liu, I remember your Zhuangzhuang also ordered milk, right?"
"I've ordered it, what's wrong?"
Xia Mian said, "Let me lend you a bottle of milk from Zhuangzhuang first, and two eggs. I'll return them to you when I go out to buy some in the morning." At this point, he touched Xiao Feng's head distressedly and said, "Yesterday the doctor said that the child was severely malnourished, and it would be best for him to eat more eggs and milk to supplement his nutrition."
When Old Lady Liu leaned over, she saw Xuanxuan holding something and eating it with great relish, while Xiaofeng's stomach was rumbling.
She was so angry that she shouted at the Zhang family, "Xiao Huang, are you going to be stubborn? Someone from the Women's Office of the Labor Union came to ask yesterday if your Xiao Zhang is in the process of being evaluated for excellence?"
Huang Xiaojuan didn't expect that Xia Mian, who was rushing around recklessly, was actually trying to gain sympathy. All the strategies she had prepared were useless and she was suddenly confused.
Seeing her staring at Xia Mian with hatred, Old Lady Liu said angrily, "Xiao Feng is malnourished, and you won't let him eat? You don't dare to beat him anymore, and you want to starve the child to death, right?"
After what happened yesterday, everyone upstairs and downstairs was very concerned about Xiao Feng. When Mrs. Liu spoke loudly, many people, except those who were in a hurry to go to work, leaned out to see what was going on. The gray-haired Teacher Mi even climbed up the stairs, "What happened?"
Before Xia Mian could say anything, Old Lady Liu said, "Xiao Feng is hungry, Xia Mian came to borrow milk and eggs from me, but the guy opposite is eating a lot."
Huang Xiaojuan reacted and said quickly, "How could I stop them from eating? She was deliberately trying to humiliate me! She was deliberately picking on me early in the morning and wanted to use the neighbors as a weapon to punish me."
When everyone heard this, they were a little hesitant.
Xia Mian sneered, "You want us to eat? Then bring out something else to eat, go get it now! If you can bring out a bowl of porridge, I will admit that I did it on purpose!"
Huang Xiaojuan naturally couldn't take it out. She had already decided to get rid of Xia Mian yesterday, so naturally she didn't leave him a single bite of food today.
And Xuanxuan is here to assist. Although he doesn't understand reason, he knows how to act according to the adults' attitude. He came out from under his mother's arm, holding an egg roll and eating it with relish, and proudly shook it at Xiaofeng, "These are all mine, the bastard doesn't have any!"
Everyone looked at Huang Xiaojuan with ridicule and disgust. A fifth-grade child upstairs put the egg in Xiao Feng's hand and said, "Brother, eat first. Mom said that children can't be hungry."
Xiao Feng glanced at Xia Mian, and Xia Mian taught him, "Thank you, sister!"
Xiao Feng said in a baby voice, "Thank you, sister." He was very tidy today and was very endearing.
He was really hungry at this time. Although the boiled eggs had no taste, they made him swallow his saliva continuously.
Everyone was heartbroken, some even scolded him, "Xiao Huang, you have lost all your dignity, right? Not only did you not feed the child, you even framed Xiao Xia. You are really capable."
"Alas, I used to think she was good at speaking, but now I know she is the best at confusing right and wrong."
Mrs. Liu's daughter-in-law Li Xinmei said to Xia Mian, "We are eating too. Let Xiaofeng and Zhuangzhuang eat together. Don't let the children starve."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Mian's stomach growled in response. She immediately scratched her head in embarrassment and pushed Xiao Feng, saying, "Go ahead and have dinner with Brother Zhuangzhuang. Auntie will come to see you later."
Old Mrs. Liu felt distressed. This child has always been taking care of the younger one. With Huang Xiaojuan's character, she didn't know how to treat her. "You should also go and eat together. Eat first, and we can talk about other things later!"
"Alas, I'm not saying that." Sister Wang poked her head out from upstairs and said to Huang Xiaojuan, "You also have a child, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
"There will definitely be retribution. Xuanxuan is so young, isn't it obvious that he has been corrupted? Let the children stay away from his Xuanxuan in the future."
Huang Xiaojuan was so anxious after hearing this that she pointed at her from a distance and said, "I'll go find the director of women's affairs in a minute. I don't believe I can't cure you!"
"No, I really didn't stop her from eating," Huang Xiaojuan's mind was a little slow when she was anxious, "She used four eggs to cook a meal, and she also drank Xuanxuan's milk, I just said a few words..."
"Oh, Xuanxuan's milk, you really have never treated Xiaofeng as a human being, Xiaofeng can't even touch the milk at home?"
"What's wrong with four eggs? The 40,000 or 50,000 yuan compensation you gave to her sister is not enough for her to eat an egg?"
When someone brought up the issue of compensation, Huang Xiaojuan immediately argued shrilly, "I've already said that the money was borrowed from my mother's family! There's no compensation at all! I've already said that this girl is talking nonsense, why do you believe this gangster and not me?!"
Xia Mian spoke loudly, "Dear uncles, aunts and sisters, thank you for today, but please don't talk about her, please listen to me."
As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent.
"As for me, I don't want to argue with her anymore. My ex-brother-in-law also told me yesterday that I have to go to school eventually, and I won't be able to take care of Xiaofeng after I go to school. If I anger her now, Xiaofeng will be the one who suffers in the end."
At this point, she sighed, "He also said that he would use money to find a connection to get me into Huagang No. 1 Middle School. Huagang No. 1 Middle School is close, so it's convenient for me to go to school every day. Then I can come back every day to take care of Xiaofeng, so that I don't get too upset with Huang Xiaojuan, so I don't plan to sue her."
It is said that old people become more cunning. When Mrs. Liu and Teacher Mi heard this, they knew they were using a combination of intimidation and inducement to fool the little kid Xia Mian.
From Zhang Qiming's point of view, if he doesn't want to divorce Huang Xiaojuan, there is certainly nothing wrong with doing so. But it still makes people feel chilling to hear it. He obviously does not intend to pursue the matter of Huang Xiaojuan abusing Xiaofeng.
Old Lady Liu cursed, "Bah, you thought Zhang Qiming taught him a lesson yesterday, but how dare he go back to his old ways today? It turns out he has nothing to fear!"
"After all, she is a stolen woman," a man joked, "I thought Zhang Qiming was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be so confused."
Huang Xiaojuan saw that the topic was brought back to Zhang Qiming and she couldn't help getting anxious. She could be scolded, but Zhang Qiming's reputation could not be ruined.
Sure enough, some people just wanted to watch the fun, "Xia Mian, you are a silly child. Your ex-brother-in-law is just trying to fool you. If you don't tell her, they might even get worse. Don't be fooled by these two black-hearted people..."
Huang Xiaojuan looked at Xia Mian secretly raising the corner of his lips towards her, and she couldn't help but feel angry. It was obvious that Xia Mian didn't need to threaten her with suing, but now she said this, as if she was threatening Xia Mian not to sue!
What a complete distortion of the truth!
