A tiny aunt with no one in her care

  In fact, even if Li Wei didn't say it, her grandmother, whose nose was sharper than a traffic police officer's, could tell at a glance:

  "You old drunkard is drinking again, didn't you say last time that from now on..."

  "Grandma, grandma, quickly find me a piece of clothing to change into, it's so cold."

  Li Wei originally wanted to help her grandfather out of trouble, but things went against her wishes.

  Grandma saw Li Wei like that and suddenly became furious without needing any explanation:

  "You old thing, you dare to ride a bike with kids after drinking, and you even took the kid into the ditch, I think you're tired of living..."

  Before Grandma could invite them in, Auntie emerged from the west room, grabbed Li Wei who was soaked to the bone and pulled her into the house. As they were about to enter the room, she turned back to glance at Old Man and Old Woman, saying impatiently:

  "Alright mom, hurry up and brew a cup of tea for dad to sober him up, stop nagging."

  After finishing speaking, he pulled Li Wei into the house.

  Li Wei followed her aunt into her boudoir, and she was so excited. Her aunt was a legendary figure, having been married three times and divorced three times. The men she had married were all very impressive, just like celebrities. Whether it was talent, looks, clothing, conversation, or the way they treated people, these women were like lofty mountains that the younger girls could only look up to.

  "You stand first, don't sit on the kang, wait for me to go get a basin of water for you to wash up." Little Aunt said and then left.

  Li Wei entered the room. She began to take stock of the star's boudoir. There wasn't much in the way of furnishings. On the floor was a simple wooden chest. On top were some everyday items. What was rare was that there was actually a vase with a few lily flowers inserted into it. The room was very clean and tidy. On one side of the bed was placed a small bedside table. On top were some books and a pen.

  Li Wei remembers that when she was in school, her younger aunt took the college entrance exam. Now she started school ahead of time. That's to say, her younger aunt is now a high school sophomore. I guess she didn't perform well. Although she usually studied hard, her younger aunt didn't get into college that year and didn't review for the re-exam either. It was also because of the current situation at that time. High school students were very rare then, unlike twenty years later when university students were everywhere. With the help of Li Wei's uncle, who was the third son of her grandfather's older brother, she got into the town credit union and became a bank clerk. Then...

  Li Wei was about to recall her aunt's three romantic affairs. Her aunt, Cheng Fei, had already brought a basin of hot water and put it on the ground, and began to help Li Wei undress.

  "Hey, I'll take care of it myself. No need to trouble Little Aunt."

  She is now very mature psychologically. This delicate and pure little body can't be easily touched by anyone.

  Cheng Fei was unimpressed: "Cut it out. You little brat still knows how to be embarrassed. I'm too lazy to serve you anyway." After saying that, she sat down at the edge of the kang table and prepared to read a book.

  "Hey, hey, hey... Little auntie, can you step aside for a moment?"

  She saw her aunt's eyes were a bit unfriendly, so she quickly added an explanation:

  "Hey, I'm not chasing you away, it's just that, well, look at me, a big person like me, taking off my clothes like this, it's embarrassing, hehe..."

  Cheng Fei was unexpectedly not angry, and looked Li Wei up and down: "Not seen for a few days, little one has really grown up, knows how to be shy, okay, you don't have to be coy anymore, I'll give you ten minutes, hurry up."

  He finished speaking and walked out.

  Li Wei let out a sigh of relief and began to hastily wash herself. This little aunt of hers was the absolute authority in her grandmother's house, where what she said went, and if she said ten minutes, it meant exactly ten minutes, not a second more or less. As the youngest child at home, she was spoiled by everyone, being beautiful, intelligent, and well-read, so she had become somewhat arrogant, looking down on most people.

  But for a 17 or 18-year-old girl who is popular everywhere, she naturally looks down on the likes of Li Wei, who often ruins her books and stationery. In Li Wei's memory, her aunt was still quite good to her, but when it came to the twins and the children in her uncle's family, she wouldn't easily let them into her own room, as if they were pests to be prevented.

  Li Wei hastily changed into the clothes her grandmother had prepared for her, which were all the small aunt's old clothes from when she was a kid. The style and fabric were not bad, just a bit big, probably almost ready to be passed down to her but hadn't gotten around to it yet.

  At night, Li Wei slept in her aunt's house. Her aunt secretly gave her two pieces of crispy sugar. This was a rare thing, and the agency store sold it for more than two dollars a pound. After eating, Li Wei felt that it was just so-so. In the future, she had eaten all kinds of sugars, but this crispy sugar was not as delicious as she remembered, so she only ate one piece and then went to rinse her mouth.

  She was surprised: "You're quite particular about hygiene, you know to rinse your mouth after eating before bed, my sister has taught you well! I thought you were all wild and carefree, messing around every day!"

  Li Wei didn't like hearing that, what's this "wild born and wild grown" nonsense? She has a father and mother: "I'm telling you, Auntie, watch your words! What do you mean by 'wild'? I'm a good family's child, my mom is your sister, if she hears this, she'll have to deal with you!"

  "Cut it out, you've been studying for a few days and still know how to nitpick, I said you're uncouth and unrefined, and now you're even feeling wronged? Don't believe me if you don't want to, just watch who dares to mess with me!"

  Li Wei took back her original impression, her aunt was not arrogant, but a wild and spoiled child, with a bit of a bad temper, she looked at her aunt with some disdain.

  "Auntie, you're being a bit unreasonable. My dad said that with reason, one can travel the world, but without it, every step is difficult. If you continue like this, when you grow up, every step will be hard."

  "Oh, young one, your wings are still soft and you dare to lecture me? Your dad is reasonable, but has he traveled the world? I don't think so. Hmph, whether or not someone can travel the world depends on their brains and abilities, just talking reason is useless..."

  Li Wei directly interrupted her: "Auntie, you're talking dirty! How did you learn those five lectures, four beauties and three loves? And don't speak ill of my dad, that's my dad, whoever doesn't respect him I'll fight with them!" She and her dad were having internal contradictions among the people.

  Cheng Fei sat up with a flip, staring at her little niece not far away: "Ah, you little thing dare to threaten your aunt? I said your dad is useless. What can you do to me? Don't say it's you, even if your dad came, I would dare to say so, he wouldn't dare to say anything. You come to argue with me, are you asking for a beating?"

  What a lousy little aunt, Li Wei knew that her little aunt had always looked down on her father, no wonder since she was old enough to understand things, her little aunt had never been close with their family, and the siblings' knowledge of her affairs all came from listening to their grandma and others talk about it, not because she was too busy, but because she simply didn't think highly of those brothers and sisters of hers.

  What a white-eyed wolf!

  And her words just now were contemptuous, naked contempt. Li Wei was thoroughly displeased. She could say anything about her, but not about her father. Even if she looked like a heavenly fairy, it wouldn't be allowed. Obviously, at this stage, whether in verbal or physical combat, she was no match for her aunt. Who let the other person occupy a more advantageous position from birth? So she strained her neck and shouted loudly:

  "Grandma's coming! Grandma's coming!"

  Just as Grandma was about to fall asleep, she heard Li Wei shouting like her throat had been pinched and hurriedly got down from the kang without even putting on her shoes, followed closely by Grandpa who had just dozed off.

  "What's wrong, what's wrong? Xiaoming, why aren't you sleeping well?"

  Li Wei's face was twisted in grievance as she complained to her aunt: "Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie is bullying me!"

  "What... attack? How did she attack you? Where did she attack you?" This kid still uses civilized words, doesn't say hit, says attack.

  Li Wei covered her chest with her hand, feeling sad and wronged: "It hurts here, Grandma, my heart aches, I must be injured, it's an internal injury, Auntie is so cruel."

  The old lady got angry, while massaging Li Wei's chest, she turned her head and glared at Cheng Fei: "I said you still don't have the demeanor of a young aunt, the child usually doesn't come to visit, when he comes you don't get close to him properly, and now you're bullying him. I think you've really become capable. Usually not talking about reason is one thing, but being annoyed that I nag, I also don't like always saying things to you, but look at what you've done, I spent money for your education, was it to learn how to be so disrespectful and have no sense of hierarchy?"

  To say that her grandmother's family has someone who can calm down the whole family, from her grandfather to her little aunt, it must be her grandmother.

  Cheng Fei was still a bit stunned at first, and she had never even heard of such a blatant frame-up before. It wasn't until her mother scolded her that she deeply realized:

  She was framed by this little brat!

  Others like Qin Hui knew how to spread rumors behind people's backs, but this little brat actually did it so openly and aboveboard... He's even worse than Qin Hui!

  She thinks she's as great as Yue Fei!

  Cheng Fei got angrier and angrier, she had never suffered such humiliation from childhood to adulthood, turned her head and reached out to grab Li Wei.

  Li Wei was frightened and quickly shrank into her grandmother's arms.

  The old lady's eyes didn't contain any sand, she stretched out her hand and slapped Cheng Fei's hand back: "What are you doing? You dare to raise your hands in front of me? This is ridiculous! Your sister treated you so well, but you're a heartless thing..."

  Li Wei: Grandma, your eyes are like torches! You saw through Xiao Yi's true identity so quickly.

  Cheng Fei couldn't take it anymore. When did her mother ever scold her so harshly? What made her even angrier was that the little brat, Li Qin Hui, was secretly making faces at her. Cheng Fei had always been a tyrannical and proud person, and now she was furious. Without saying a word to explain herself, she pounced on Li Qin Hui, determined to slap him a few times to vent her anger.

  Li Wei was startled, her grandmother might not be able to stop her young and vigorous aunt, she hastily gestured to her somewhat drowsy grandfather: "Grandfather, hurry up! She's going to kill someone!"

  Sweat! Her little aunt's eyes really have a possibility of it.

  Grandfather made a timely appearance and intercepted Little Auntie.

  She was not reconciled, insisted on breaking through the blockade line of her grandfather, and gritted her teeth: "You little rabbit, wait for me to catch you and skin you!"

  The most venomous thing is the heart of a woman.

  Li Wei was also a little scared, and she quickly rallied her grandfather before the war: "Grandpa, you must hold on, if Auntie hits us, someone will get killed, look how fierce she is, she even dares to disobey Grandma's words, so unfilial."

  Cheng Lao Ye Zi was desperately blocking his furious daughter, while comforting: "Old son, old son, stop, stop, there's no need to be like this, let's talk it out..."

  Don't look at the little girl nestled in her grandmother's arms, looking pitiful. But Master Cheng, who has experienced many storms and waves, had a feeling that this fearless daughter of his might have been taken advantage of by some scoundrel.

  Li Wei saw that her grandfather had blocked her younger aunt, this place was not suitable for staying for a long time, let her grandfather cover for her, she had to hurry and withdraw. She quickly pulled her grandmother's collar: "Grandma, let's go to the east house quickly, I won't be able to sleep with my aunt tonight, I'll sleep with you, Grandma."

  The old lady was also furious, pulling Li Wei's hand: "Old man, you can't always spoil her, in the future she'll become someone who doesn't understand human relationships and won't recognize six relatives, you'll regret it!" After finishing, she pulled Li Wei back to the east room.

  Grandfather was muttering to himself in the east house for half a day, and I guess he must have comforted my little aunt, anyway she didn't chase him back to the east house, only then did grandfather come back to sleep.

  Li Wei wasn't afraid of her aunt complaining to Grandpa, first because her aunt's proud nature might not allow her to do so. Besides, Li Wei didn't believe that her aunt would dare repeat the words she said to her in front of Grandpa, which was what she had said to Li Wei when treating her like a child and speaking her mind without reserve; if she were also to speak recklessly in front of adults, then she wouldn't be the clever and cunning aunt who could get by anywhere.

  She is not so ignorant of what's good and bad.

  The next day, Cheng Fei got up early and left for school without even having breakfast.

  She lives in a boarding high school in the county town, usually comes back once every one or two weeks. This time she was annoyed by Li Wei and returned to school ahead of schedule, otherwise she would have left in the afternoon.

  Old Chang felt sorry for his daughter and muttered, "Alas, she didn't even have breakfast. I don't know if she can make it to school in time for lunch. Old lady, did you give her some money?"

  The old couple had already recovered from last night's fight, with many children at home, the fierce fights often saw bloodshed, but last night was just a minor skirmish, the only highlight being that the usually untouchable eldest daughter was finally provoked.

  Let them take a fresh look at this little granddaughter of mine.

  The old lady didn't spoil her daughter like the old man did, and she said in a bad temper: "She took the money, I even gave her two steamed buns, that dead girl threw them away, serves her right for going hungry!"

  Li Wei, who was eating mantou and drinking soup, hurriedly said: "Grandma and Grandpa don't worry, I secretly put it in Xiaojie's bag again. Without us watching her, she will definitely eat it."

  The old lady said: "That's it. She's being stubborn and refusing to eat, but we're not watching her. She's wasting her temper, she's not stupid."

  Grandpa: "Hehe, our little Ming is still the most sensible one. Your aunt is a decade older than you, but she's not made any progress in life, it's all gone to waste!"

  Li Wei humbly smiled and elegantly ate her steamed buns and drank her soup.

  Actually, Mr. and Mrs. Cheng didn't know that when Li Wei gave her little aunt a steamed bun, she took the opportunity to snatch her little aunt's private sugar cookies. Although she wasn't particularly fond of them, her twin siblings at home were quite fond of eating them. The potato was swapped for the pumpkin, the potato wasn't hers, now the pumpkin is hers, hehe.

  I suppose Xiaoyi was so angry that she must have gnawed the potato or rather the steamed bun clean.
