"There isn’t much meat in it anyway," she murmured. "The ones with cabbage filling are good too."
Song Xiyun looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.
Even Ge Liutao, who was usually the softest-hearted, had become so hard-hearted now?
As soon as Chiang Lidong heard he couldn’t have the ones with meat, he immediately sat down on the ground with a thud, kicking his legs and began his specialty of throwing a tantrum on the floor.
"Cry again, and I won’t let you have any, not even the ones with cabbage filling," Chiang Xiao said sternly, glaring at him.
"Chiang Xiao, you’re a bad person! You’re the worst! Grandma said she’s going to kick you out of the village and let you starve to death outside!" Chiang Lidong immediately spat in her direction.
Chiang Caijiao had already gone silent and hidden herself away, always trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible at times like these.
Chiang Xiao had already decided to endure them, but now she felt she could no longer tolerate it.
She immediately stood up, dusted the flour off her hands, walked over to Chiang Lidong, grabbed his collar, and hoisted him up, heading straight for the door.
Song Xiyun was terrified, "Chiang Xiao, what are you doing? That’s your brother!"
By the time she rushed over, Chiang Xiao had already thrown Lidong, who was flailing his arms and legs, outside the door, "See? I don’t know if you can kick me out of the village, but right now, I can kick you out of my house! Get lost, you won’t even get to eat cabbage dumplings today!"
She turned back to look at Chiang Caijiao, "You go out too."
She really didn’t have the slightest bit of fondness for anyone in the Old Chiang Family, from the eldest to the youngest.
Chiang Caijiao looked at her pitifully, tears swirling in her eyes.
Song Xiyun had already rushed out to lift Chiang Lidong, cooing over him while cursing Chiang Xiao.
"Dongdong, are you okay? My poor baby. Chiang Xiao, you heartless and vile wretch, as a sister, how could you lay hands on your brother! Just over a few dumplings, I curse you to choke on dumplings and die! Wretched girl, so young and yet hoarding food for yourself, why don’t you eat till you burst! Oh my dear Dongdong, did you hurt yourself when you fell?"
"I protect what belongs to my family, and it’s absolutely my right. What business is it of yours?" Chiang Xiao glared at her, snorting, "Giving you food and still have to listen to all your foul language, who do you think you are, ancestral spirits? Get out of here, now."
"You wretched girl, I am your aunt, and he is your brother..."
"My grandparents are your uncle and aunt too, have you ever offered them a piece of meat? Song Xiyun, I’m warning you about eavesdropping and gathering Wan Niu and those loafers to besiege my grandparents, I haven’t settled the score with you about that yet!"
As soon as she heard about this incident, Song Xiyun’s face turned slightly pale, after all, Wan Niu and the others were still locked up in the militia building, reportedly beaten badly by Yao Cong and his people. She was also scared about it.
It was only then that Ge Liutao remembered that incident, Song Xiyun could be said to be the main culprit, her face also changed slightly, and she suddenly felt somewhat self-mocking.
Human habits are truly terrifying.
She was just used to being soft-hearted towards the people of the Old Chiang family. Just now, she also didn’t remember the thing Song Xiyun had done, only thinking about how they were all one family...
Chiang Songhai sat in the main room, sighing heavily.
Chiang Caijiao looked at Chiang Xiao, timidly, and in a voice only Chiang Xiao could hear, said, "Sister Xiao, wasn’t it my grandma who did that? My mom couldn’t help it either, just like me; sometimes when my mom does something wrong, I can’t do anything about it..."
Chiang Xiao looked at Chiang Caijiao with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, suddenly feeling that this nine-year-old girl might not be so simple after all.
