Hitting people is also very exhausting. Huang Man felt her body had expended a lot of energy, and after yawning, "Okay, I’m going back to my room to rest."
"Of course, you can retaliate against me, just make sure you think it through."
"Once I find the opportunity, you..."
Huang Man glanced over at the two, "You’ll go work at the brick factory. Don’t say Mom won’t bear to part with you. If she can’t, she can join you."
"We don’t keep freeloaders in this house."
"You can guess whether I would actually do it."
Huang Lina had put a lot of effort into decorating this room. Naturally, a lot of money had been spent as well, and she had hung posters of her favorite stars on the walls.
To her surprise, as soon as Huang Man entered, she immediately tore down the posters, "Money just flies away like that."
"Knowing full well the family’s burden, you still don’t think of shouldering any of it."
Huang Lina saw her hard work torn apart by Huang Man just like that, and she was truly furious.
If possible, she really wanted to rush up and unleash a flurry of punches and kicks on her.
But she didn’t dare, fearful that she might end up working at the brick factory. This woman was truly malicious.
"Remember to make breakfast tomorrow. Get up at 6:30. If you don’t, you’ll get a beating."
"I don’t want to reason with you." Huang Man actually didn’t like such a flamboyantly decorated room, but it was still better than her old one.
In the summer it was deathly hot, in the winter freezing cold, and the wind would howl in. Usually, when there was heavy rain outside, it would drizzle inside.
Huang Lina and Huang Xin looked at the darkened room, "Bro, are you willing to accept this?"
Willing to accept this? "I’m not willing, but what can we do?"
"By the way, remember to get up early tomorrow to make breakfast. You’re responsible for all three meals every day."
"You also have to wash the clothes and plant the vegetables in the field."
Despite the loss of face and various physical discomforts, Huang Xin was too resentful to make a fuss.
As for the household chores, that was even simpler—it was Huang Lina’s responsibility.
What? The household chores used to be done by Huang Man, and now they had all become her responsibility? How could Huang Lina endure this?
"I won’t do it." Huang Lina expressed her refusal haughtily.
If it were in the past, seeing her act spoilt, Huang Xin might have offered some comfort, but now, he had no such patience.
He slapped Huang Lina several times. He couldn’t beat Huang Man, but Huang Lina was a different story.
Huang Lina didn’t expect that she had just been struck by Huang Man and now, immediately afterward, by Huang Xin.
They both had been defeated by Huang Man, so why fear him?
Huang Lina let out a roar and charged at him, "Good for you, Huang Xin, for hitting me! I’ll fight you to the end!"
In the past, Huang Lina was undoubtedly no match for Huang Xin and would have been easily crushed, but now, after Huang Xin had been properly ’educated’ by Huang Man, dealing with the former was really not an easy task.
"Huang Lina, you’re crazy." Huang Xin hadn’t expected Huang Lina to charge at him like a madwoman, and he instantly became angry.
"Fine, Huang Lina, I won’t let you off." Huang Xin felt a sharp pain on his face, scratched by Huang Lina.
"You dare scratch me?"
Huang Xin often prided himself on being quite handsome, with many girls liking him and even pursuing him, feeling like he was a Casanova.
To him, his appearance was very important; if his face was ruined, how would he charm girls in the future?
Once Huang Xin thought about this, he had no more regard for restraint and was even more forceful, hitting Huang Lina without any courtesy.
Huang Lina was very worried that Huang Xin would also strike her face, constantly guarding it.
With her hands protecting her face, how could she fight Huang Xin? She quickly fell at a disadvantage.
"Brother, stop hitting me, I was wrong, I admit it," Huang Lina didn’t expect that Huang Xin, who had just beaten Huang Man until she looked like a swollen pig, could still be so formidable.
Huang Man was writing something in the room and, of course, heard the noise of their scuffle, but she did not go out.
Weren’t they siblings? Teaming up to pick on the original owner?
From now on, the plan was to set them against each other, fighting and letting Zhao Mei decide what to do, choose her son or her daughter.
Such a commotion, of course, caught the attention of the neighbors, who all gathered around and knocked on the door wanting to come in.
But the three members of the Huang family had no thought of opening the door. Those standing outside knew that Huang Man, outnumbered, had beaten Huang Xin and his sister until they howled in pain.
This was followed by Huang Xin and Huang Lina starting to fight, which puzzled many people.
Clearly, the two of them had a good relationship, often seen coming and going together, but now they were fighting without any courtesy.
Hearing Huang Lina’s pleas for mercy, Huang Xin did not stop, but continued to beat her fiercely.
"Huang Lina, I’m telling you, from now on, you’ll be the one doing all the chores in this house."
"Your grades are poor, so once you finish junior high, you’re going out to work."
Huang Xin was nice to Huang Lina because she was sweet-talking, beautiful, and likely to marry a rich man who could support him.
As for Huang Man, being unattractive and inarticulate, she should just go out to work early to earn money for him to spend.
Now that Huang Man was out of control and wouldn’t go out to earn money, it was time to send someone else out to work.
"You’ll go to work at a restaurant outside."
"With your sweet mouth, you can even get to know a few bosses, and then you can enjoy good food and drink."
"After all, with your pig brain, staying in school won’t do you any good, it’s just a waste of time."
After all, they had been close since they were young, and Huang Xin knew how to persuade Huang Lina.
Huang Man, listening from inside the room, thought of Huang Lina, who had just started junior high and already didn’t want to study, crying and making a fuss about dropping out.
Zhao Mei did not agree with her dropping out, arguing what could a girl do without an education.
See, Zhao Mei knew full well that girls wanted to study, yet she held such double standards when it came to the original owner.
This time, she would stand back and let others do as they wished, whether dropping out or retiring; she was going to continue her own studies.
If Zhao Mei ever brought up dropping out again, she would use Zhao Lina’s dropping out to counter her argument, and she already had two ready-made reasons, so there was no fear of not being able to refute her.
Huang Xin, having played all day, was already quite tired. Adding to this his own beating and the fight with Huang Lina, he was exceedingly weary.
"Remember to get up early tomorrow to make breakfast, then lunch and dinner, and to take meals to the hospital."
What? Cooking was tiring enough, and now she had to deliver meals too? This was something she absolutely would not do.
"I can’t go out ; people will laugh at my face," she thought, adamant about not delivering meals no matter what.
"I suppose it looks better if I go out," Huang Xin thought of what Huang Man had just said, and walked over to Huang Lina’s face to give her several slaps.
"It’s just as Huang, sister, said," Phew, that was a close one, he almost forgot the name—it would have been his bad luck if it had slipped out.
"There is no need for reasoning with you, it’s straight to handling things by force."
"Are you going to deliver them or not?" Huang Xin asked Huang Lina after forgetting how many slaps he had given her.
With tears in her eyes and no choice, what could Huang Lina do but agree?
