I cried while trying to comfort my grandmother.
After a few minutes, she finally calmed down a bit.
Looking at the mess all over the bed, I had no choice but to strip the sheets and blankets off to wash them.
I even mopped the floor three times before the foul smell completely disappeared.
While cleaning, I couldn't help but worry about Zhang Xincheng.
I kept wondering if something had happened to him, why he hadn't returned yet.
Just as I was lost in thought, I heard my grandmother groaning again from the bedroom.
"I want to drink millet porridge, I want it now!"
"Grandma, we just had lunch. Let's have it for dinner instead."
"You little vixen dare to seduce my husband! You shameless thing! You must make me some millet porridge to apologize!"
"Grandma, you're confused. I'm Gu Xiaxia, your grandson's girlfriend."
"It's you, you little hussy, who seduced my husband! If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have abandoned me! It's all your fault!"
Zhang Xincheng had told me that his grandmother sometimes became disoriented when stimulated.
But he never mentioned that she could be violent.
Just as I was hanging up the clothes, his grandmother pulled out a stick and swung it hard at my head.
Everything went dark; in an instant, the world spun around me.
I struggled to stay upright and turned just in time to see her raise the stick again for another blow.
"You vixen! How dare you seduce my husband? I'll make sure to beat you to death today!"
Fortunately, I managed to dodge in time and snatched the stick away from Grandma.
"I told you I'm your grandson's girlfriend. If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police!"
Hearing the mention of the police, Grandma seemed to regain her senses. Not only did she stop crying and making a fuss, but she also obediently climbed into bed.
Just then, I heard the sound of keys turning in the door.
I rushed to the entrance.
To my surprise, I saw Zhang Xincheng's family standing at the door, all smiles as they said to me, "Congratulations on passing the test!"
"Test? What test?"
"The test of whether you can marry me," he replied. "My parents and Grandma were all part of it. I didn't expect you to take care of the elderly so well. I knew you could do it!"
Looking at Zhang Xincheng's family's beaming faces, I couldn't help but tremble with anger.
After all my efforts to care for Grandma and worrying about their safety, it turned out they were just playing a prank on me!
Zhang Xincheng quickly changed his serious demeanor and tried to appease me: "We did this for your sake as a couple. If you can't handle this little test, how will you face future challenges together?"
"Auntie went through this too. Trust me, it's all for your good. Besides, I genuinely like you."
"Like me?"
"Is not giving me a warm meal considered liking me? Or is treating me like a servant what you call love?"
" Gu Xiaxia, watch your tone! My mom is an elder; you need to be respectful!"
"Zhang Xincheng, I never expected you to be this kind of person. After three years of dating, what do I mean to you?"
"Why are you so worked up? Other people go through tests without making such a fuss. Why are you any different?"
"Others? What do you mean? Who else is there?"
Zhang Xincheng's Mom instantly interjected, "No one, no one. He's just talking nonsense. We're all doing this for your own good. You should understand our feelings as adults."
Zhang Xincheng also realized he might have said something wrong and quickly changed the subject, dramatically covering his nose and shouting, "What is that smell? It stinks like you just crawled out of a cesspool! How disgusting for a girl!"
What smell? Isn't it the stench of your mother's milk?
Zhang Xincheng's Parents turned their attention to me, following his lead, and even burst into laughter.
I had had enough!
What a family of scoundrels!
I threw down my words about breaking up, grabbed my bag, and headed for the door.
But Zhang Xincheng immediately blocked my way, pulling out a calculator and leisurely saying, "If you want to break up, that's fine. After three years of dating, you've spent a total of two hundred thousand on me. If we split, you owe me one hundred thousand." He continued, "If you want to get married, that's possible too. However, given your performance just now, the bride price will be halved, and you’ll have to apologize to my whole family."
