"Cry! You cried because you gave birth to a useless money-loser and still have the face to cry! Hurry up and clean the mess you made! Do you expect me to serve you?"
When Qin Shuangshuang finally struggled to open her eyes and regain consciousness, the first thing she heard was an elderly woman's yelling and cursing! Hearing this voice, Qin Shuangshuang's heart instinctively filled with anger and resentment!
This voice was too familiar because Qin Shuangshuang had spent her childhood under the abuse of this woman! This woman was her grandmother, Old Chen!
Her body felt limp, with no strength in her arms or legs, she could only move slightly, and her vision was a bit blurry, making it difficult to capture things clearly!
Thinking of the previous strange encounter, Qin Shuangshuang easily concluded that she had been reborn back to the time of her birth!
Her brows furrowed involuntarily, Qin Shuangshuang felt a bit depressed. Although rebirth was a good thing, being reborn so thoroughly was also quite frustrating; the life of a baby was stifling just to think about.
However, Qin Shuangshuang didn't feel bad for long before Lord Zhou came and took her to play chess! A big bubble came out of her mouth, which made Mrs. Bai, who had just been scolded and fussed over by her mother-in-law, feel a soft spot in her heart.
Gently patting her sweetly sleeping daughter, Mrs. Bai's tired face showed a tender smile. Looking at her adorable daughter, she couldn't help but lower her head and kiss Qin Shuangshuang's rosy little cheeks, feeling that all grievances and pains no longer mattered.
The days of infancy passed surprisingly quickly. Every day was about eating and sleeping, and now seeing the mother who loved her the most, who had tragically died when she was six in the past life, made this period of being a baby the happiest time Qin Shuangshuang had ever experienced!
On Mrs. Bai's not-so-broad back, feeling the unconditional love from her mother, Qin Shuangshuang felt truly happy! The memories of the past life were too distant, and the memories of her mother's death too painful. Qin Shuangshuang was always determined to forget those memories!
Over time, those memories were indeed buried deep in Qin Shuangshuang's mind, never to be seen again, to the point that now Qin Shuangshuang couldn't recall how exactly her mother died back then, even if it hurt her head trying to remember!
At this moment, Qin Shuangshuang felt somewhat hateful towards herself for forgetting those memories too completely. Trying hard to recall, she vaguely remembered that her mother didn't seem to die of natural causes.
A trace of ruthlessness and fury flashed in Qin Shuangshuang's eyes! In both her previous and current life, she found just this one person who truly cared for her, and under no circumstances would she allow anything or anyone to take her mother away from her!
In a blink, Qin Shuangshuang was already six months old, able to turn and crawl, with much more strength in her limbs. Mrs. Bai was afraid that Qin Shuangshuang might crawl around and fall off the bed when left alone, so she carried Qin Shuangshuang on her back as she worked every day.
Every time she was carried by Mrs. Bai, Qin Shuangshuang tried not to move too much, fearing it would be a burden for Mrs. Bai.
One day, Qin Shuangshuang's eldest uncle, Mr. Qin, returned home from temporary work in town and brought back a small piece of meat, saying it was a reward from a kind employer after the work was done.
The whole Qin family was very excited, except for Qin Shuangshuang and Mrs. Bai because whenever there was meat at home, the mother and daughter never even got to taste the soup.
Even though she never got to eat the meat, it was always Mrs. Bai who had to cook it because Mrs. Bai was the daughter-in-law with the best cooking skills in the Qin Family!
While cooking, Old Chen sat at the door, watching Mrs. Bai to make sure she didn't sneak a taste, habitually picking fights and cursing Mrs. Bai for no apparent reason. It seemed unless she swore at Mrs. Bai several times a day, Old Chen wouldn't feel comfortable.
Frightened by Old Chen's scolding, Mrs. Bai accidentally cut the meat a bit thick; there wasn't much meat to begin with, so cutting it thin would make it seem more. Mrs. Bai's mistake resulted in a piece thick enough to be sliced into four or five thinner pieces!
Old Chen immediately got furious! "You wasteful woman, cutting it so thick on purpose! Are you upset about me nagging you? You deserve punishment, you unteachable thing..."
As Old Chen spewed abusive words, she angrily stormed to Mrs. Bai's back, trying to smack the back of Mrs. Bai's head without warning!
Qin Shuangshuang was being carried on Mrs. Bai's back, and during this period, she had already been gnashing her teeth with hate for Old Chen's torment towards Mrs. Bai. Now that Old Chen was about to hit Mrs. Bai, Qin Shuangshuang's eyes immediately turned red!
Seeing Old Chen's slap about to land on the back of Mrs. Bai's head, Qin Shuangshuang moved her face up slightly, allowing Old Chen's slap to land on her face instead with a slap.
Before the stunned Old Chen could react, Qin Shuangshuang let out a sharp wailing cry, and her small hand swung fiercely, hitting Old Chen's arm hard!
Qin Shuangshuang remembered that before she was reborn, the woman once told her that she would have tremendous natural strength. Now, Qin Shuangshuang was counting on this to give Old Chen a lesson, perhaps like swelling her hand to the point she wouldn't dare to use it for days.
But who knew Qin Shuangshuang underestimated her strength, for it wasn't just Old Chen's hand that swelled; she was directly sent flying a small distance by Qin Shuangshuang! Then she fell to the ground with a thud! The hand that had just hit Qin Shuangshuang dangled limply, her wrist twisted and turned, clearly broken!
Old Chen sat there dumbfounded for a while, then as the pain slowly kicked in, she began to howl in agony, the pain making her tear up and snot flow!
Of course, Qin Shuangshuang wasn't willing to back down. She too was initially shocked by Old Chen's miserable state; she hadn't even used her full strength, and Old Chen ended up like this! This caused quite a stir, and Qin Shuangshuang panicked for a moment.
Seeing Old Chen weep and snot, howling like she had lost her mother, Qin Shuangshuang also refused to admit defeat and opened her little mouth, letting out a heart-wrenching wail. The infant's voice was sharp and piercing, much more harrowing than an adult's! Enough to scare someone to death if heard at night!
The commotion created by these two was so loud that it might have woken the dead. Soon, Mr. Qin, Qin Shuangshuang's eldest uncle Qin Lao Da, his wife Little Chen, their son Da Lang, Third Lang, and daughter Eldest Lady,
Qin Shuangshuang's father Qin Laoer, uncle Qin the Third, and Qin the Third's wife Mrs. Fang, along with their children Second Lang, Si Lang, and Wulang, all got up, gathering disheveled in the little kitchen.
As soon as they rushed in, they saw Old Chen sitting on the ground, her face covered in tears and snot, wailing, with one hand twisted in a pitiful sight!
Over there, although Qin Shuangshuang was crying pitifully, with a huge slap mark and a swollen face that looked dreadful, no one in the family cared about this money-loser, Qin Shuangshuang. Naturally, no one cared if she was alive or dead; they all rushed over to Old Chen's side.
Mr. Qin looked at his wife's twisted hand, his face dark and severe, and turned to look at Mrs. Bai with a somber expression, coldly questioning, "Mrs. Bai! What is this all about?"
