Transmigration: A Farm Girl’s Brocade

Qian Yixiu also had tears in her eyes as she said, "Ah Cao, didn’t I tell you before? If she hits you again, you should go tell Great-grandpa and Great-grandma to stand up for you."

Li Ahcao’s gaze was still somewhat vacant as she murmured, "I don’t dare."

Old man Qian became even angrier upon hearing this and pointed at Qian Mandua, berating her, "Only a mother like you could be so heartless, not even knowing how to protect your own daughter."

Then, with his smoking pipe, he forcefully struck Qian Ergui, scolding, "Useless trash, you can’t even control your own wife. If you had a bit more backbone, that evil woman wouldn’t be able to do so many outrageous things..."

Qian Ergui’s face flushed red as he quickly said, "Father, don’t be angry, Father, don’t be angry. I will go home and deal with that woman."

Qian Mandua hurriedly said, "You can’t blame my mother for everything. She had good intentions and wanted to teach Ah Cao how to work. It’s all because Ah Cao is slow to respond, and my mother just gets anxious and..."

Old woman Qian cursed in anger, "Foolish child, what would the Old Qian Family do with a stupid daughter like you? Not knowing how to cherish such a good child, letting her be abused, and now spouting such nonsense with a straight face."

After a while, Lady Xiao Wong brought up a bowl of chicken soup to feed Li Ahcao. Seeing the chicken soup, Li Ahcao’s eyes reddened with heartache. Lady Xiao Wong said with a smile to comfort her, "This chicken was caught by your aunt, not one from the Ah Cao’s house, drink it with peace of mind."

Lady Wu said, "I also brought some food, and it’s all to nourish Ah Cao." The implication was to not let others eat it. Although Qian Mandua had become more diligent, her gluttonous habits had not changed much.
