The Girl Who Dared to Blossom

CHAPTER 3

Mingyue sighed, realizing what her mother was thinking and feeling concerned about. Just give it a little while longer and mother will see the reality. She will then voluntarily depart from this place where people are being devoured.

Mingyue was harboring an idea.

Xiumei asked in a raspy voice, "Is it painful? " After lightly touching Mingyue's flushed face. Is your face still hurting, Yangyang? Yangyang, listen to me: next time, don't confront your grandmother because it won't be as easy as a slap." Your grandmother struck you too hard.

Mingyue grinned and said, "It's okay, Mom, it doesn't hurt at all." She lifted her eyes a little.

"Really?" Xiumei questioned with scepticism.

"Yes," Mingyue gave a halting nod.

What could a little pain in this life be compared to the suffering she had endured in the past?

At this precise moment, footsteps could be heard coming from the courtyard.

With a distressed expression, theShufen matriarch exclaimed, "Where are you people? No longer alive? Xiumei! Don't you know we have guests, so get out of here."

Xiumei hurried out right away, saying, "Mother, Jinbao. "Who is this?"

There was a middle-aged, attractive woman who was plump and stood between Jinbao and the Shufen leader.

"This is my niece Jing from my mother's side. Jing is currently nine months pregnant," the Shufen matriarch stated. Remind yourself to look after her well. Any delicious food or drink in our home should be given to Jing first because she is expecting! Recognise?"

Outside, there was a lot of noise.

Mingyue Approached the window, looked out, and sent a shiver down her spine from her lips to her mouth.

It gives people the chills without actually being cold,Shufench like ice in the twelfth lunar month!

If they turned to ashes, she would still recognise the person outside.

Yilin was the one!

The woman who was both Yongqiang's mistress and the one who cleverly intended to wed her off to an elderly bachelor.

Yilin had a son in the past, according to her memories.

Mu Yaozu was the son of Lady Shufen and Yongqiang, who almost worshipped him.

However, how could someone such as Yilin create something worthwhile?

Mu Yaozu was really disgusting!

He made Xiumei miscarry when he was five years old, and at sixteen, he was imprisoned for r**e!

All he was was a cancer of society!

"Sister Cuihua, hello, I'm Yilin; just call me Jing; I will rely on you in the future," Yilin said with an extremely fake smile on her face.

Yilin should address Xiumei as sister-in-law based on seniority if she was, in fact, LadyShufen's niece.

However, she didn't.

After all, she was stirring up trouble for Xiumei, who was harbouring the seed of Yongqiang within her!

Xiumei was merely a hen incapable of producing son eggs!

Someone like that would make an excellent workhorse.

Yilin made an ugly face, but Xiumei, who was straightforward and honest, didn't see her strange behaviour or the errors in her statement.

"Sure, as long as you don't mind our poor living conditions," Xiumei said with a smile.

Who the fool is!

It makes sense why she is unable to conceive a son.

Yilin cast a mocking glance in Xiumei's direction.

Lady Shufen turned to face Xiumei, saying, "You need to make sure Jing has somewhere to stay immediately! You can't treat Jing poorly because she is pregnant."

Lady Shufen commanded Xiumei as though she were a servant.

Xiumei was, in Lady Shufen's opinion, an animal that could be easily abused, placing her even below the status of a servant.

Mingyue Stood by the window, a pale smile tugging at her bright red lips as she observed what was happening in the courtyard with cold eyes.

"Then let Jing and Yangyang sleep in the same room," says Xiumei. Since Jing is expecting, Yangyang's bed is large enough for her to have assistance at night.``

Xiumei is incredibly compassionate and considerate of others, but sadly, she had to deal with monsters.

She wouldn't have a happy ending.

When Lady Shufen heard this, she nearly exploded with rage, yelling, "You bad! I was aware that you were manipulating things. Are you hoping for Jing to suffer some misfortune? To truly allow Jing to slumber with that piece of garbage!"

What if Yilin gave birth to worthless offspring if she and Ni Yang, that piece of trash, slept together?

Lady Shufen was unwilling to take that kind of risk!

She had to not take a chance!

We don't have any more rooms, Mother, said Xiumei, who turned pale with fear.

Even if the Shufen's living conditions in the village were regarded as acceptable, no matter how good they were, they couldn't be that good, could they? After all, this is still a rural area.

"Of course, Jing needs to stay alone in that piece of trash's room," Lady Shufen glared at Xiumei.

How can a piece of junk be allowed to occupy a room?

"What about Yangyang?" Xiumei enquired.

"Allow that piece of garbage to tumble into the shed! Or the sheepfold will do as well!" snarled Lady Shufen.

Xiumei asked, "Mother, how can people live in the woodshed?" as he turned to face LadyShufen.

Besides, Mingyuewas big enough as it was; living in the woodshed would be convenient for her?

Xiumei's defiance caught LadyShufen off guard, and she reprimanded her bluntly, saying, "You barren old hen, you're out of control now!" You dare to respond to me now! You move when I ask you to."

Without saying a word, Yongqiang arrived and got right to work!

Kicking Xiumei to the ground, he said, "You worthless woman! Would you dare argue with my mommy? I believe you deserve a solid thrashing."

"Don't hit me anymore, don't hit me, Jinbao, I won't dare…" Xiumei repeatedly pleaded for forgiveness.

Rolling up his sleeves, Yongqiang exclaims, "Don't waste time! Now go tidy the room!"

Without saying anything, Xiumei gets up from the floor right away and heads toMingyue's room to clean.

Mingyuecould feel a wave of rage building inside her as she observed what was happening in the courtyard!

She wanted to go outside and Surrender those people immediately.

But logic informed her that she couldn't.

She was unable to do this.

She needed to get out of here safely with her sister and mother.

Soon!

Soon, she and her sister would be able to depart.

Just give it a little more time!

Yilin was led by Yongqiang to sleep. Yongqiang was a very violent and abusive man in front of Xiumei, but he wishes he could give his heart to Yilin.

Mingyue was utterly detested by her father!

There were footsteps outside the kitchen just then.

Shielding her ire, Mingyue turned slightly and forced a false smile, "Grandmother."

Madame Shufen said, "You good-for-nothing, stew this chicken! If I catch you sneaking any, I'll tear your mouth apart!" as she threw the contents in her hands onto the stove without even trying to smile.

How could the average person afford meat during these hard times when it was difficult to even eat a complete meal?

Not to mention the fowl!

Madame Shufen, who was usually frugal, surprised everyone by purchasing a whole chicken for her great-grandson.

Mingyue Took up the chicken, reverted to her typical submissive demeanour, andShufenrmured, "I get it, Grandmother."

MadameShufen nodded, pleased to see Mingyue.

That's the proper behaviour for a good-for-nothing!

Mingyue Cleaned the hen and placed it in the pot to cook. She was not allowed to cut up the chicken for fear that Madame Shufen would call her a pilferer.

Mingyue appeared to have thought of something as she stewed the chicken, a small smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

After all, Yilin was an old friend.

How could she not give her a gift as she was about to leave?

She would make a fool out of Shufen , Yilin's son, who in his previous life was a scourge on society!

She would render him incapable of causing harm to another person!

Since Mingyue Removed the bugs, he could be viewed as having done a good deed, even though Shufen was not innocent.

Mingyue proceeded to the foot of a large tree in the courtyard, beneath which grew a kind of orchid grass with purple blossoms.

The stamen within the flowers was lethal, but the flowers themselves were not toxic.

This flower had no taste, was white, and left no trace. Who could find out in this day and age when foetal checks were nonexistent?

Mingyue didn't know these flowers' official name until she studied medicine in her previous life.

Mingyuepicked a few flowers with a light hand and made his way to the kitchen.

Xiumei entered after the chicken soup was ready and said, "Yangyang, come let me pass you by and deliver the chicken soup to your Aunt Jing."

The aroma of chicken soup wafted through the air.

Xiumei was forced to swallow her spit.

She'd never smelled chicken soup quite like this before.

It has to be amazing.

Mingyue Removed a bowl of oily chicken soup with caution and said, "Mom, I secretly poured this out, nobody will find out. Drink it while it's hot." After making sure Xiumei was not being followed by anyone.

For Xiumei, who has just given birth, chicken soup is beneficial.

However, how could the obliging Xiumei ever manage to smuggle a sip of a guest's soup?

"I won't drink it. Mom's in good health, there's no need for this! Pour it back quickly, I have to deliver it to your Aunt Jing!"

Without respondingShufench, Mingyue Lifted the chicken soup and took a single gulp to finish it!

How could Yilin benefit from this good chicken soup?

Xiumei scowled a little, "Yangyang, how could you do something like this?"

"Mom, Yilin is not a good person at all! I'm telling you, the child in her belly is most likely my dad's! They're fooling you! Mom, wake up!" Mingyue Said with a serious expression in her eyes.
