Chapter 889: Find Qin Hengzhi to compensate?
Standing by the window, Dong Mingming lowered her head and looked at the faded old coat she was wearing.
In this family, apart from the older sister who doesn't work and her who is in school, everyone else—the father, mother, grandparents, and great-grandmother—receives a salary.
My family is actually quite wealthy.
She had seen the bankbook in her mother's hand with her own eyes; the two small notebooks were both written with Dong Yuanyuan's name on them.
My mother also has her own savings account, but there isn't much money in it because she has to support my maternal grandmother's family all year round.
Dong Mingming didn't know exactly how much money her parents and grandparents had spent on her from childhood to adulthood, but apart from her underwear, almost none of her clothes were new. They were all hand-me-downs, unwanted items, or things her older sister didn't like. Some sizes were too small for her, so her mother would grumble as she altered them for her.
It doesn't seem like a big deal, does it? Aren't many families like this?
They always picked out clothes from the older children, even though the younger ones were older.
At this moment, Dong Mingming stopped thinking about anything.
She discovered that thoughts can be stilled.
The world seemed unusually quiet, as if time itself had stopped.
But actually, no.
Her grandmother, who was standing not far away, and her eldest sister, Dong Yuanyuan, were both staring at her with angry and disgusted eyes.
Grandma, in particular, was still fuming, clutching the mop in one hand and her other hand on her hip.
She's probably still cursing herself.
That's right. Old Mrs. Dong raised her finger and pointed at Dong Mingming, who was standing by the window, and cursed without thinking: "You wretched girl, you're just like your mother, full of bad ideas! You can't stand it when things are a little quiet at home, can you?"
They brought in a dead cat and it's turned the house upside down! Look at it, look at it, what a mess this house is in now!
What are you standing there for? Come and clean up! Oh dear, what have I done to deserve this?!
Dong Yuanyuan, gloating from the side, added fuel to the fire, saying, "Grandma, Dong Mingming is biased towards Lu Qiaoge from across the street. This cat belongs to Lu Qiaoge, and just like her, it's full of bad intentions and comes here to cause trouble. When Qin Hengzhi comes back, Grandma, you must settle accounts with him and make him pay you back!"
As she said this, Dong Yuanyuan's eyes flickered several times, revealing a barely perceptible sense of guilt.
Dong Mingming felt that the world had become quiet, time had stopped, and even her thoughts had stopped.
But somehow, these vicious words just kept popping into my ears, one word at a time.
What does this have to do with Sister Lu? Why do you always try to drag Sister Lu into this?
Although she had only known Sister Lu for a few days, she returned to Jiangcheng.
But she felt a warmth from Sister Lu that she had never felt before.
When she went to Sister Lu's house, Sister Lu would speak to her very gently, give her delicious food, and Hua Hua would also keep her company.
At that moment, she felt that the world was still a beautiful place.
Sister Lu, Huahua, and Little Sparrow are the best people in the world to her.
But why are they the worst in the eyes of Grandma and my eldest sister?
It's all her fault, isn't it?
That's right, it's all because of her, Dong Mingming!
At this moment, Dong Mingming was unusually quiet.
She first took off her coat and looked at the sweater underneath, which her grandmother had bought for her; it was something that could barely be considered entirely her own.
And her socks, which her sister no longer wore, had five patches on them.
Standing by the window, Dong Mingming took off her socks again.
The old lady instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she was too angry to think about it deeply.
Is this girl trying to drive her crazy every day?
Dong Yuanyuan chimed in sarcastically, "Grandma, this vase was worth a lot of money. Now that it's smashed, it's worthless." Her words only added fuel to the fire.
However, a sense of unease flashed through Dong Yuanyuan's mind.
Although this girl is usually submissive, she sometimes talks back to her.
And according to her usual habits, she should be cleaning up the broken pieces of the vase on the floor at this time, instead of standing here taking off her socks.
Yes, why is she taking off her socks?
Dong Mingming took off her socks and neatly placed them on the windowsill, on top of the clothes she had folded.
At this moment, Old Mrs. Dong took two steps forward, glared at Dong Mingming, and before she could utter any words of scolding, her face froze on the next second.
Before her horrified eyes, Dong Mingming stepped onto the windowsill and, without the slightest hesitation, jumped off!
The Dong family lived on the third floor.
It's no exaggeration to say that all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the world seemed to stand still, and the living room was deathly silent.
Faintly, I seemed to hear the dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground.
The first to react was Dong Yuanyuan. She let out a shrill scream and frantically lunged toward the window.
At this moment, Hua Hua outside the door was very unhappy.
It thought of itself as a very smart and powerful kitten, and that it held a very special place among the other small animals.
The Dong family's affairs are not complicated at all, so why did they turn out like this?
Hua Hua was extremely annoyed and frustrated.
It would have been better if it hadn't gone to the Dong family.
I miss my little master so much, waaaah, little master, I'm so stupid...
But it can't enter the space now.
Without Little Cangcang acting as a middleman and the little master not taking it inside, it wouldn't be able to get in.
Hua Hua tried calling out to Xiao Cang Cang, but there was no response, so Xiao Cang Cang must be with its owner in Jiangcheng.
Hua Hua angrily scratched at the Dong family's door a few times with her claws, then ran downstairs.
As soon as it ran out of the building, it heard Sanque's shrill voice, screaming in terror: "[Ahhhhh, Huahua, come quick! Dong Mingming jumped off the building!]"
The three sparrows circling in mid-air witnessed all of this. Their little brains had stopped thinking, and they instinctively called out to Hua Hua.
At this moment, it hated that it didn't have a huge body, hated that it wasn't human, otherwise it could have rushed up and caught Dong Mingming.
No matter how fast Hua Hua was, she was ultimately too late.
In Hua Hua's eyes, the cute, timid little girl fell from the third floor.
She lay barefoot on her back on the cold cement floor, blood gushing from her mouth and nose.
There was no struggle; it remained motionless.
Hua Hua rushed over quickly, meowing loudly, its outstretched paws dangling in mid-air, looking terrified and distressed.
It felt as if large tears were rolling down its cheeks.
Hua Hua knew that the tears at this moment were not meant to wash away her tears, but rather because she was very sad.
Hua Hua doesn't know what to do.
Has this adorable little human girl died?
If she is still alive, why is she lying motionless with her eyes closed?
Hua Hua suddenly remembered that it had energy, and it immediately placed its little paws on Dong Mingming's shoulder.
