Chiang Xiao finally broke the eerie silence by setting down the wooden bucket on the ground.
Ho Laidi scrambled up, trembling all over with rage.
"Chiang Xiao! You, you dare..."
Chiang Xiao interrupted her, "This bucket of foot-washing water, I’ve prepared it for you for two days, Auntie. How’s the taste?"
Ho Laidi’s vision darkened, and she almost fainted. But she was so enraged that for a moment, she lost her usual combativeness and couldn’t curse as vehemently as she would have liked.
"This is my home, and even if the gates are open, you have no right to shamelessly burst in time after time without our permission! Neither do you have the right to come and rob us of meat and sugar like bandits!" Chiang Xiao’s gaze was icy and piercing, sharp enough to nearly bore two holes in Ho Laidi. "Also, if you insult my grandparents or me again, it won’t be as simple as a kick and a splash of foot-washing water. You can try me!"
"Little Little..." Chiang Songhai’s hands trembled as he looked at Chiang Xiao, also feeling like he was about to faint.
This was more than just a retaliation from Chiang Xiao!
Kicking Ho Laidi, dousing her with foot-washing water, this... this...
No wonder she had carried hot water for his foot bath the night before last, and then the bucket remained there; she had been planning to use it for this purpose all along!
Chiang Xiao glanced at him, unapologetic, "Grandpa, I am speaking the truth in my heart, I won’t tolerate anyone from the Old Chiang Family any longer!"
Her gaze then swept toward Song Xiyun, who was crouched on the wall, and continued in an extremely cold voice, "Auntie, since you’re here, listen well, alright? Next time you grab a handful of sugar at my place, I’m going to stuff a handful of sand into your mouth. Enjoy it to the fullest!"
Oh my, is this still Chiang Xiao?
Why does she suddenly seem so terrifying?
Ho Laidi finally snapped back to reality and lunged at Chiang Xiao with a loud howl, "I’m going to strangle you, you little bitch!"
Daring to kick her, daring to splash her with foot-washing water!
But before she could reach her, Chiang Xiao reached behind and brandished a firewood knife that seemed to appear out of nowhere, striking without mercy!
Ho Laidi let out a scream, quickly backing away two steps; she turned pale with fear, nearly wetting herself.
She looked at Chiang Xiao in horror.
This damn girl really dared to be an assassin!
If she hadn’t retreated quickly just now, the firewood knife would have really hit her!
"Little Little, don’t!" Ge Liutao was so scared she nearly collapsed, but Chiang Songhai caught her.
Chiang Xiao, with her icy tone, said to Ho Laidi, "Get lost!"
Ho Laidi’s eyes widened like a wild boar; she was resentful but too terrified to stay since Chiang Xiao had the knife in her hand. Reluctantly, she turned and ran out, dripping water as she went.
Chiang Xiao’s gaze turned to Song Xiyun, who was so scared that she immediately dashed inside the house.
The cries of Ho Laidi soon came from the Old Chiang Family’s residence, followed by Chiang Baoguo’s voice twice. Chiang Xiao held the firewood knife, waiting for him to come over, but to her surprise, Baoguo didn’t come out at all.
She smirked at the corner of her mouth, seeing through Baoguo’s selfishness and indifference.
Since she had leverage over him, even seeing his own mother in that miserable state, he dared not come over to settle accounts with her.
Only then did she put down the firewood knife and look towards her grandparents.
Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao both looked at her with pale faces, but for the moment, they didn’t know what to say to her.
Chiang Xiao offered them a smile.
Then she said, "Grandpa, you might endure such insults, but I cannot."
Having said that, she walked into the west room.
Yes, this firewood knife must be taken up the mountain tomorrow.
