“I haven’t done anything, why should I be afraid? But you… The heavens have good eyesight. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens?”

Cheng Nuo spoke casually, but Cheng Die was furious. 

“Who are you talking about being punished by the heavens?”

Cheng Nuo pulled the six radish heads and protected them behind her. “Whoever agrees, just say so!”

Cheng Die had always been angry at her grandfather, even accusing her of making him angry to death. After so many years, Cheng Nuo’s hatred towards her did not decrease, but instead increased.

Cheng Die clenched her hands tightly, her exquisite nails clutching her palms. The smile on her face was uglier than if she was crying. After a moment, she became haughty again and glanced disdainfully at the few children behind Cheng Nuo.

She said sarcastically, “You’re just good at talking. Aren’t you just fooling around with men? Sister, I pity you. You’ve been abandoned by a man and you’re bringing up these troublesome children by yourself. Sister is kind enough to give you a word of advice. Remember, don’t be a fickle woman in your next life. There’s no good ending for you.”

Cheng Nuo had a good face, so she had been jealous since she was young. However, looking at how she was bringing up the children by herself, Cheng Die’s heart was in balance. So what if she was good looking? Wasn’t she still abandoned by men? Tsk…

The few little radishes raised their heads to look at Cheng Nuo, one after another, and glared fiercely at Cheng Die. How dare she bully their Mommy! She even said that they were troublesome children. Mommy had always said that the six of them were a gift from heaven, and they cherished Mommy very much.

“Mommy, who is this ugly woman?” Cheng Chen asked with an innocent look.

The words of a child were the most hurtful. Cheng Die was directly angered by her extremely serious tone. She stared at Er Bao and said fiercely, “You! Who are you calling ugly?”

Cheng Nuo felt the gazes of the little ones and lowered her head to cast a comforting gaze. Then, she raised her head to look at Cheng Die. She actually said such ugly words in front of the child. Don’t blame her for not giving her face! 

“Cheng Die, don’t go crazy here! Since you were young, your grades weren’t as good as mine, your looks weren’t as good as mine, and your work wasn’t as good as mine. Now you’re slandering my child. Who knows what evil intentions you have?” Cheng Nuo spoke with a straight face, her words sarcastic.

Then, Cheng Nuo lowered her head and gave a faint smile. She rubbed Cheng Liang’s head and said, “Babies, don’t listen to her nonsense. Mommy loves you the most!”

After she said that, Cheng Nuo held a few of the radishes’ heads one by one. She let go of Cheng Die and was about to leave.

Cheng Die was stunned by Cheng Nuo’s words. By the time she reacted, Cheng Nuo had already walked a few steps away. She chased after her unwillingly. 

Cheng Die had never been willing to admit defeat since she was young. She was not willing to be at a disadvantage. She grabbed Cheng Nuo’s wrist, her nails leaving a few red marks on Cheng Nuo’s white skin.

Cheng Nuo took a deep breath in pain, afraid that the little ones would be worried. She pretended to be calm and gritted her teeth to shake off Cheng Die’s hand. Immediately, she gave Cheng Die a hard slap. 

The crisp sound of a slap resounded in the air.

“You… You hit me?” 

Cheng Die took half a step back in disbelief. Her pupils dilated rapidly, and her face was instantly filled with anger..
