Chapter 218: Chapter 218: I’ll Smash Your Hand Chapter 218: Chapter 218: I’ll Smash Your Hand Sun Lixia tore the bedsheets off the clothesline and stormed into the main house, “Mom, you have to stand up for me!”
Zhang Guihua was sitting on the kang, happily counting the household savings when Sun Lixia suddenly entered. Startled, Guihua’s hand trembled, and the money scattered all over the kang.
“Are you trying to kill me? Can’t you say something before coming in?”
The old lady cursed while frantically picking up the money from the kang.
Meanwhile, Sun Lixia nearly forgot she had come to complain. She stared at the money on the kang, silently calculating the amount.
Seeing her eyes almost popping out, the old lady scolded with a stern face, “Stop gawking. Spill whatever you have to quickly!”
Only then did Sun Lixia snap back to reality. She spread the bedsheets on the kang and started wailing, “Mom, look at my bedsheet. The daughters from the second household made such a big hole in it, and I’ve only used it for a few years!”
Zhang Guihua frowned, grabbed the bedsheet, and glanced at it, her face turning sour upon seeing the hole.
The hole was neither here nor there, right in the middle of the bedsheet. If it had been at the edge or a corner, it could have been patched up.
Now with such a big hole, it could only be cut up and made into something else.
“Damned faulty goods!” Zhang Guihua slipped on her shoes, grabbed the bedsheets, and headed to the second household, with Sun Lixia following behind.
The door to the second household was thrust open, startling everyone inside.
Seeing her mother-in-law storm in angrily, Zhao Xiaojuan asked fearfully, “Mom, what’s the matter?”
Zhang Guihua ignored Zhao Xiaojuan. Her eyes fierce, she demanded of the several girls, “Who washed this bedsheet?”
Da Ya and Er Ya, seeing the big hole on the bedsheet, turned pale, while Laidi trembled all over, her grandmother’s fierce expression truly frightening.
They all knew it was Zhaodi who had washed the bedsheet, thinking it was her sister who had accidentally damaged it.
Thinking that Zhaodi had already been punished yesterday, Da Ya feared her grandmother would punish Zhaodi again. Despite her fear, she bravely stepped forward, “It’s, it’s me. I accidentally damaged it.”
Zhaodi, seeing Da Ya taking the blame for her, promptly cried out, “It was me!”
“It was me!” Er Ya and Zhaodi said simultaneously.
Unfortunately, the old lady wasn’t moved by their sibling affection and, with a stern face, demanded, “Just tell me clearly who it was, or I will hit all three of you!”
Da Ya firmly responded, “It really was me.”
“It wasn’t Big Sister. It was me that damaged it. Grandma, you can hit!” Zhaodi courageously extended her hand; she wasn’t afraid to face the consequences of her actions.
Da Ya was frantic, so she turned and desperately looked at Er Ya, “It was me who damaged it. You saw it too, right, Er Ya?”
Er Ya and she locked eyes for two seconds before she hesitatingly spoke, “… It was Big Sister who accidentally damaged it.”
“You good-for-nothing girl. You can’t do anything right. Even washing a bedsheet, you manage to damage it. I will break your hands today!”
Zhang Guihua actually harbored a preference that it was Da Ya who had damaged it, given that Zhaodi was smaller and weaker.
So, she immediately pointed at Da Ya’s nose, shouting angrily with spit flying onto Da Ya’s face.
Poor Da Ya didn’t dare to move and stood obediently taking the scolding.
After scolding, Zhang Guihua began looking around the room for a handy tool to teach her a lesson.
Upon seeing this, Sun Lixia quickly handed her the tailor’s measuring tape, “Mom, use this.”
This type of measuring tape was the most painful to be hit with on the palms.
Seeing this, Zhaodi’s eyes filled with anger, almost taking physical form, “Grandma, it truly wasn’t Big Sister. It was me who damaged it.”
Zhang Guihua had already taken the measuring tape, her face cold as she commanded, “Stretch out your hand.”
