The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 27: Neighbors Who Love Gossip

Thrush has gone.

The maid was boiling medicine under the eaves.

There was a basin of dirty clothes next to the well.

Qian stood under the eaves with a droopy face, holding a feather duster for sweeping the bed in her hand, looking at the door.

Seeing Jian Yue coming in, he glared and opened fire: "You still remember to come back, why don't you die outside?"

Jian Yue curled her lips and sneered: "You can't die. I'm still waiting to see you off to the end!"

Qian was furious: "You unfilial thing, you actually cursed your mother to death, you will be punished by heaven, you will not die a good death!"

"No, it is you who is punished by God, and it is you who will not die a good death." Jian Yue retorted.

The servant who was squatting and boiling medicine was stunned.

This girl is really a scoundrel! She actually talked back to her own mother like this. If a family has a daughter like this, they must have committed a sin for eight lifetimes.

When it comes to verbal battles, Qian is definitely no match for Jian Yue. So, she rushed over with a feather duster and decided to give her a good beating to make her behave herself.

Jian Yue turned her body nimbly and moved to Qian's side. She pierced the long needle in her hand into the Jianzhen point on Qian's shoulder quickly and accurately, and then quickly pulled it out.

Qian felt as if she was bitten by an ant on her shoulder. The stinging sensation was like an illusion. It only lasted for a moment before she recovered. She didn't take it seriously and continued to chase Jian Yue and beat her.

Jian Yue had eaten well these days, and she also took Lingzhi and ginseng to nourish her body. She felt that she had not only regained strength, but also became more flexible. Qian Shi really couldn't catch up with her for a while.

"Stop her for me!" Qian ordered the servant.

"Murder! Murder! The newly moved into the Jian family is going to kill someone!" Jian Yue immediately rushed out the door, shouting at the top of her voice.

Qian was shocked and rushed out with a feather duster. But all the residents in Qingshui Hutong heard it. They were curious about the new residents and when they heard that something happened in this house, they immediately ran out to watch the fun.

A neatly dressed woman from the Liu family, the neighbor across from the Jian family, came out and caught Jian Yue and asked, "Hey! Little girl, what's wrong with you? Who in your family wants to kill someone? If not, report it to the police! There are patrolling yamen runners on the street."

"Woo woo! Auntie, please save me! My mother is going to beat me to death." Jian Yue pinched herself secretly, tears appeared in her eyes due to the pain.

Qian, who followed out later, gnashed her teeth in anger and said, "Jian Zhaodi, do you still have any shame? You are shouting about a small matter all over the street."

Jian Yue hid behind the Liu family's mother-in-law and shouted: "You want to kill me, why should I still have dignity? You beat me without asking any reason. I just want to know, are you my real mother?"

The neighbor's eyes lit up: Big melon! We can definitely eat big melon today.

The neighbor on the left of the Jian family, the daughter-in-law of the Jin family, also known as Jin's wife, answered, "My dear sister, please don't blame me for being nosy. If there is any misunderstanding, you should first understand it clearly, and don't just come up and hit me. What if there is a misunderstanding about the child?"

"I……"

Qian had just said one word when Jian Yue interrupted her: "There is no misunderstanding. My mother knew the reason why I came back late, but she still beat me to death. I seriously suspect that she is not my biological mother. Because she never beats my sister, not even my adopted daughter. She also feeds her well and spends money to let her study and learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Wow!

What a big melon!

The biological daughter was beaten to death, while the adopted daughter was not only pampered but also trained at great expense. Anyone who heard this would know that there was something fishy going on.

The eyes of the onlookers brightened up even more.

Granny Liu pulled Jian Yue out from behind her, patted her hands and said, "Good child, don't be afraid. With so many of our neighbors here, your mother won't dare to hit you. Tell me, where did you go? Why did you come back so late?"

Sister Jin blocked Qian's gaze towards Jian Yue without leaving any trace, and encouraged her: "Little girl, just speak your mind, there are so many neighbors watching! Your mother can't be unreasonable, right?"

Qian was so angry that her head was buzzing.

What's your business? You are a bunch of troublemakers! But she was new here, so she didn't dare to offend her neighbors.

Jian Yue wiped her eyes and narrated eloquently: "This afternoon, my mother's adopted daughter sent a maid named Huamei to invite Doctor Qi to see my father and eldest brother. After the examination, my mother asked me to follow Huamei to get the medicine. But when we got out of the street, Huamei drove me out of the car and asked me to run after the carriage. The aunts and sisters don't know that I work a lot in the countryside..."

"Jian Zhaodi, you dare to talk nonsense! I'll tear your mouth off." Qian wanted to rush over and hit Jian Yue. But Jin's wife grabbed her and said, "Sister, don't scare the child, let her finish. We are not children, can't we tell whether she is telling the truth or a lie? No wonder the child is afraid of you, you have such a bad temper."

Qian was almost mad with anger.

I'm teaching my own child a lesson, why are you meddling in it? You just want to watch the fun, right?

"Child, what happened to you working in the countryside? Go on." Mrs. Liu urged. It's been a while since I've seen anything lively. The weather is hot, and no one likes to go out and chat. Life is boring. Today's excitement must be seen in its entirety.

"I do a lot of work in the countryside, and every day I only have wild vegetable soup and water for washing pots to drink..."

"Jian Zhaodi, you want to rebel, don't you?" Qian roared. She was immediately restrained by the two women. The two women said politely: "Her elder sister, don't be impulsive. The child has grievances in her heart, just let her speak out. If she gets sick from holding it in, wouldn't it be worse?" But they held Qian's arms tightly, not letting her move.

Qian really wanted to suffocate to death. But she still had her wits about her shoulders and knew she couldn't say that. She could only stare blankly in frustration.

Jian Yue patted her head, looking bewildered: "What was I talking about? When my mother yells, I get scared. When I get scared, I forget what I said before."

Mrs. Liu quickly reminded her: "You just said that you have a lot of work to do, and you only have wild vegetable soup and water to wash the pot every day."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Jian Yue looked as if she had suddenly realized something. "Then, my mother didn't allow me to drink hot water. I could only drink raw water. I often had diarrhea, and later my body became weaker and weaker."

hiss!

The onlookers gasped.

Is this something a mother can do? Isn't this a clear enemy?

Qian wanted to eat Jian Yue.

Is it fun to go over the past all day long? Is it fun?

Jian Yue continued: "Let me get back to the point. With my shabby body, how could I possibly catch up with the carriage? Soon, I lost sight of the carriage. Then, I got lost. I asked many people before I found Qingshui Hutong. But as soon as I got home, my mother wanted to beat me to death. Woohoo! I have such a miserable life! What did I do wrong? Why is my mother so mean to me out of the three of us siblings?"

There is a lot of information in the words, and the onlookers have also imagined a lot...
