She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Grandma Xia was bending down to carry the stool back to her dormitory when Qiao Yi's second insult came back to her. She immediately straightened up and said, "Who do you think you are, daring to insult me ​​like that? You're like a bat with chicken feathers tied to it, have you forgotten what kind of bird you are? I think you're only one of the top three in terms of looks, you shameless stinking thing."

"The man you found is a perfect match for you. Neither of you are good people. You should stay together for life so you don't go out and ruin other people's children. With someone like you, I have to wonder if anyone taught you anything from childhood to adulthood. You have no manners!"

"How could our factory have scum like you? Putting you in the cannon and firing you out there would at least give you some use. When you fire into enemy territory, it'll be more satisfying than throwing shit at them."

While Qiao Yi was still wondering what "clear-eyed and bright-eyed" meant, Old Lady Xia glared at her and left. She couldn't even understand her insults, yet she dared to mock her. Bah!

Grandma Xia went into the dormitory to pack her things. After a while, Qiao Yi walked in with a livid face. "Comrade Xia, it was just a practice session, how could you scold my mother?"

Grandma Xia had no idea what she was talking about. "If you're going to insult someone but not their ancestors for eighteen generations, what kind of insult is that?"

Qiao Yi: "But I've only just started learning, and you're making me very unhappy."

Grandma Xia: "What are you following? Why are you copying this? Isn't cursing just about making the other person unhappy? If the other person gets happier and happier from my cursing, then what's the point of cursing?"

Qiao Yi: "You can teach me slowly, right?"

Grandma Xia was talking at cross purposes, saying, "What am I supposed to teach you? What are you talking about? If you keep bothering me, I'll hit you!"

Qiao Yi's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "Weren't you teaching me to swear? Are you really swearing at me?"

Grandma Xia asked in confusion, "Why should I teach you to swear? You mocked me, why should I teach you to swear? I'm not that pathetic."

Qiao Yi immediately burst into tears, "You really cursed my mom to die? How could you be so mean? I wasn't mocking you, I was genuinely praising how clever you are. Nobody in my family ever curses. My parents are honest, my brother is even more honest, and I'm honest too. So I'm really envious of how eloquent you all are. I even had a crush on Tian Chengping because he helped me curse out the people who bullied me! Why did you curse my mom? Waaah~"

Grandma Xia stared at her for a while and realized that she was actually crying. Had she really misunderstood?

She was unusually at a loss. Before her divorce, none of her children cried except when Xiang Hong scolded them. They would only cry when she hit them hard. When she suddenly saw someone who hadn't done anything wrong but was being scolded to tears, Old Mrs. Xia felt a little guilty. This was someone else's child. What a mess this was.

Over the years, she had almost forgotten that normal children are not very bright or malicious. They would cry if they were scolded a few times. They usually like to go to the supply and marketing cooperative with their good friends to buy things they like. They probably have never heard such vulgar insults before. They stumbled and tried to learn some swear words from her, but the ones they said were sarcastic and insinuating.

Qiao Yi sat on the edge of her bed, silently shedding tears. Every now and then, she would look at Old Lady Xia with a particularly aggrieved expression, as if Tian Chengping was not the scumbag who lied to her, but rather Old Lady Xia.

The pressure was immense, and Grandma Xia felt like she couldn't breathe. What was there to cry about? If you get scolded, just scold back. What's the big deal? What problem can crying solve?

No, crying really can solve problems. Qiao Yi almost solved her problem right now.

After scratching her head and pulling out a few strands of hair, Old Mrs. Xia said dryly, "Um... I'm sorry, I thought you were laughing at my vulgarity. Didn't your little clique often talk bad about me behind my back?"

Qiao Yi opened her mouth wide and stopped crying. How did Comrade Xia know? Actually, she wasn't saying anything bad, she just had some prejudice against people of different ages. Although she still felt a little wronged, she was too embarrassed to cry. Instead, she apologized to Old Lady Xia, "We didn't say anything bad about you. It's just that you just moved in and we weren't familiar with you, so... okay, I'm sorry."

The old woman and the young girl inexplicably made up. It was the first time Grandma Xia had encountered such a thing, and she had fallen in love with the young girl.

After dinner, Qiao Yi still kept her chatting, talking about her family and asking Grandma Xia to talk about her own things. She could say a few words about anything. Until the next day, Grandma Xia went to the workshop with two huge dark circles under her eyes.

This little girl is really something else. Could it be that she's taking revenge on me? Old Mrs. Xia had her doubts, but when she got up and saw Qiao Yi with dark circles under her eyes and looking tired and foolish, she dismissed her suspicions.

Qiao Yi and Fang Yingdi worked in the same workshop, and they would eat together. But today, when Qiao Yi passed by Grandma Xia's workshop, she pulled Fang Yingdi and waited at the door.

The two women who came home came directly to work. Xiang Qiaoqian was able to get to work earlier because she lived closer to home, but Fang Yingdi arrived before dawn. She looked even worse than Qiao Yi, so they had no idea what had happened between Qiao Yi and Old Lady Xia.

When Fang Yingdi saw that Qiao Yi was going to have dinner with the old lady, she was puzzled. "Why? What kind of drug did she give you? Why are you suddenly getting along so well with her?"

Qiao Yi: "Comrade Xia is really a very good person, very capable and very kind. Once you get to know her, you will definitely like her."

Fang Yingdi pouted, "By the time I got to know her, I would have already gotten married and moved out."

Qiao Yi: "What do you think about marriage? What's so good about marriage? Do you know how formidable Comrade Xia was when she was young? She's still formidable now. She's incredibly good at scolding people. How can I become as formidable as her?"

Fang Yingdi: "What kind of skill is it to curse people? It's not like she's making a lot of money or being so virtuous that everyone praises her. I think she's just a cold-hearted person who would abandon her own child. I don't want to know her."

Qiao Yi: "Yingdi... her family is a mess, why can't she get a divorce and step forward? Her children are all grown up, and she has fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. She's doing so well."

Fang Yingdi secretly rolled her eyes, and was about to say something when she was seen by Old Lady Xia, who was about to come out, so she shut up.

"You... came to see me?" Old Mrs. Xia asked.

Qiao Yi was being held by Fang Yingdi on her left, so she naturally slipped her right hand into Grandma Xia's arm and said, "Yes, let's go eat together."

Grandma Xia was pulled away rather unnaturally. She hadn't felt this way in a long time, as if she had returned to when she was still a little girl.
