[This child has suffered so much for being uneducated.]
[If only he were a middle school student, Jiang Ning couldn’t have deceived him.]
The viewers in the live streaming room all showed a speechless expression.
The nonsense Jiang Ning had just spoken could only deceive someone like Liu Jiabao, who didn’t even have an elementary school diploma.
Liu Jiabao was frightened to tears, filling the small room with his crying.
He Cuihua quickly realized what was happening and roared at Jiang Ning, "What are you spouting nonsense for!"
He Cuihua stepped forward, trying to pull Liu Jiabao away and keep him from talking to Jiang Ning anymore.
Jiang Ning’s hand landed on He Cuihua’s shoulder as light as a feather, her voice cool, "You’re so close to me, do you want to experience the feeling of having your arm dislocated again?"
Her words made He Cuihua shiver all over, and the spot on her right shoulder, which Jiang Ning had just fixed, seemed to still hold the bone-piercing pain of having had her arm forcefully dislocated.
He Cuihua didn’t dare to respond and instantly let go of Liu Jiabao, scrambling away from Jiang Ning, staying three meters apart.
Liu Jiabao, who had been crying out of fear, also stopped crying under Jiang Ning’s icy gaze.
Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction, "Don’t cry, there’s another question I want to ask you."
Liu Jiabao looked at Jiang Ning with tearful eyes.
Jiang Ning said, "According to what your sister just said, you and your second sister are now able to eat well and dress warmly and can sit in class and listen attentively all because she dropped out of school to support you."
"You were old enough to remember when Liu Erhu and Liu Dazhuang used to bully you. Why now, when life has gotten better, do you not show gratitude toward your own sister who has always sacrificed herself to raise you, but instead become close to the Great Aunt and Auntie Shen, who used to bully and insult you when you were younger?"
[Wow, Jiang Ning makes such a good point!]
[Right, why is that?]
According to what Liu Zhaodi had just said, after their grandparents passed away, the Great Aunt took over their house, and Auntie Shen moved all the useful pots, pans, and ladles from their house, leaving the pitiful Liu Zhaodi and her siblings to live in a pigsty.
In their miserable daily life, their cousins often bullied the three of them as well. However, now that Liu Jiabao and Liu Pan have grown up, they haven’t stood with Liu Zhaodi united against their common enemies. Instead, they seem to side with He Cuihua and Li Qiufeng, to bully Liu Zhaodi and let her fend for herself.
At such a young age, they already show signs of indifference and ingratitude.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been angrily called two ungrateful wretches by the viewers just now.
The audience who were busy sending bullet comments had not noticed that when Jiang Ning spoke earlier, she deliberately emphasized the words "own sister" very heavily.
At the same time, Jiang Ning was also carefully observing the reactions of the other people present when she said these three words.
Jiang Ning noticed that after these three words were spoken, Liu Jiabao and Liu Pan clearly had some odd expressions on their faces.
After all, they were young and didn’t have the ability to hide their thoughts as well as adults, and a pointed question could easily give them away.
Seeing the unnatural expressions on Liu Jiabao and Liu Pan, it was very possible that they knew Liu Zhaodi’s true identity!
Liu Zhaodi was the one who was completely kept in the dark; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been sobbing into her quilt upon hearing Jiang Ning’s words.
Clearly, she was deeply hurt by the behavior of her younger siblings.
He Cuihua and Li Qiufeng didn’t give themselves away, but Jiang Ning felt it was worth another try.
After all, one should never underestimate the ability of rural women to hide things.
At Jiang Ning’s question, Liu Jiabao was completely dumbfounded.
His mind went blank, especially when he heard Jiang Ning say that Liu Zhaodi was his biological sister. Subconsciously, Liu Jiabao frowned and showed a look of resistance on his face.
Liu Zhaodi was not his biological sister!
His grandparents had told him and his second sister long ago that Liu Zhaodi was bought from outside with money by his parents!
She was supposed to be a servant in the Liu family, to work like an ox and horse for them!
However, his grandparents had also said that this was a secret that no one should ever be told, or else bad people would come and take them away!
But Great Aunt also knew...
Liu Jiabao instinctively wanted to turn back to seek help from Liu Pan and He Cuihua.
Jiang Ning noticed his intention and extended a hand onto his head, forcing Liu Jiabao to look only at her: "I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you answering? Was what I said too complicated for you to understand?"
"If you don’t understand, I can ask in simpler terms."
At this moment, Jiang Ning seemed very approachable, yet to Liu Jiabao, it also made him extremely scared.
He Cuihua was nearly scared to death by Jiang Ning’s demeanor as well.
Until now, she had no idea where this person came from, or exactly how they had offended her.
In the eyes of He Cuihua and Li Qiufeng, Jiang Ning was like a fearsome deity.
When He Cuihua heard Jiang Ning questioning Liu Jiabao, she nervously swallowed, not daring to step forward, and could only desperately tug at Li Qiufeng’s clothes.
Li Qiufeng moved a small step, but also kept a safe distance from Jiang Ning before she dared to interject: "Jiabao is just a child, what does he know?"
"We are all one family, the kind where blood is thicker than water. As for the issues that happened before, which family doesn’t have some small friction? Even a husband and wife sharing the same bed have their quarrels and arguments."
"Besides, when Erhu and Dazhuang bullied them, it was a long time ago. Back then, Erhu and Dazhuang were still young and didn’t know better. Now that they have grown up and become sensible, they would even wait at the crossroads every day for Jiabao and Panpan to go to school together, the children play well together, their conflicts have disappeared, and naturally, friendship has developed."
"Is that so?" Jiang Ning removed her hand from Liu Jiabao’s head and slowly stood up: "The children’s friendship may be fine, but it doesn’t affect their protection and care for their sister.
However, I haven’t seen any protection or concern for Liu Zhaodi from Liu Jiabao and Liu Pan, including the two of you adults, whose attitudes toward Liu Zhaodi, Liu Pan, and Liu Jiabao are completely different."
Looking at Li Qiufeng and He Cuihua, she suddenly showed a meaningful expression.
Despite their best efforts, Jiang Ning had noticed the subtle exchanges between the two just now.
So, Li Qiufeng and He Cuihua actually did know about Liu Zhaodi’s true identity!
With Jiang Ning’s piercing and bright gaze that seemed to have seen through everything, Li Qiufeng and He Cuihua’s hearts skipped a beat, then they heard Jiang Ning turn to Liu Zhaodi and suggest: "I don’t know why, maybe it’s because of the TikTok video released at noon today, but my mind keeps wandering in different directions.
When the police arrive later, I suggest you apply for a paternity test. I suspect you and these two are not biologically related."
