Chapter 4: I Want to Hit Someone When I Can't Talk

As soon as the village chief said that, everyone in the Shen family blushed.

Grandma Xu Xiuzhi glared at Shen Qingyue fiercely, with such disgust in her eyes that she seemed to want to eat her alive.

Shen Qingyue was wearing old clothes and lying on her elder sister's shoulders.

The eldest sister, Shen Mei, was still in shock, her body trembling uncontrollably. The tears in her eyes seemed to be unstoppable!

Everyone present felt a little uncomfortable when they saw this scene.

The village chief was really angry. What if something unexpected had really happened just now?

The village chief looked at the Shen family: "Nonsense!"

The women's director went over to comfort her.

Second Aunt Zeng Juhua, who was standing nearby, felt alarm bells ringing in her heart.

As for her two sons, building a big house in the future would be beneficial for them to find wives. If Shen Qingyue made a scene and refused to work, where would she get the exorbitant betrothal gift?

Second Aunt Zeng Juhua's husband and two sons all went back to the house to avoid suspicion, but the Shen family needed someone to talk to now.

This is closely related to her personal interests.

Zeng Juhua turned her gaze to the couple in the third room, only to see Liu Yu and Shen Daye huddled like quails.

Zeng Juhua cursed in her heart, she couldn't rely on anyone at the critical moment.

Zeng Juhua rolled her eyes and said, "Village head, women's director, this is our fault."

She was the first to take the blame.

Shen Qingyue's heart skipped a beat. Second Aunt was the most difficult person in their family. She was soft-mouthed but hard-hearted. Whenever their grandparents scolded them, Second Aunt would often come out and pretend to be a good person.

Little did they know that she was the one who was most active in coming up with the idea of ​​exchanging the sisters for betrothal gifts, because she had two sons. The more betrothal gifts they exchanged, the more benefits she could get.

As soon as Zeng Juhua finished speaking, she received a cold stare from her mother-in-law Xu Xiuzhi.

Zeng Juhua cursed her in her heart, but she still said, "We didn't care enough about this child. Life at home has been difficult since the death of my eldest brother and his wife!"

Every house is not big enough to live in. It is normal for my family to move around, but I didn’t expect that it would make the two children worried.

Today, I don't know where he came up with some weird words, and he overturned the food on the table and even banged his head against the wall. If I had known he was so childish, I would have stopped him!

Upon hearing this, Chen Mei clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh.

It was obvious that they were forced into a dead end. But Second Aunt's light words made it seem as if they were ignorant.

Chen Mei wanted to speak, but she was speechless. She was anxious and angry, and her trembling became even worse.

Shen Qingyue said: "Since Second Aunt can say it, she should have said it earlier. When my parents were alive, why didn't they tell you that there was not enough space for you?

Now that my parents have passed away, they have sent us to sleep in the lower room. They also say that every family is like this.”

The Shen family's incident had caused such a big stir that many people came to watch. As soon as Shen Qingyue finished speaking, the person who had been confused by Second Aunt Zeng Juhua just now woke up.

Shen Qingyue was right, they were bullying their orphan girl.

Zeng Juhua didn't expect Shen Qingyue to be so eloquent, and she could hardly maintain the hypocritical smile on her face.

The villagers around didn't care about that, especially the married sisters-in-law and aunts, who spoke without regard for others and looked at people more sharply: "Oh, you only know how to say nice things."

"Tsk tsk, that's better said than sung. Who doesn't know who? These kids are really wronged."

Zeng Juhua usually had a good reputation in the village and was considered a good talker in the Shen family. She was always very proud of herself.

This was the first time I'd been pointed at and criticized by the women in the village. I couldn't contain my anger any longer. After taking a few breaths, I finally managed to calm the rage in my chest. I said, "Girls will get married in the future. Why are you hoarding your parents' things?"

Second Aunt Zeng Juhua had two sons. Having spent so long in the Shen family's patriarchal environment, she naturally couldn't stand girls.

I especially hate girls like Shen Qingyue who are eloquent and sharp-tongued.

Zeng Juhua's words helped the old lady of the Shen family to recover. She angrily said, "That's right. Nothing here belongs to you. I've already been kind enough to raise you. You are so heartless."

The other onlookers sighed. This unmarried girl is really at a disadvantage.

Even if you have suffered a lot of injustice, as long as the other party is unreasonable, you can only endure it. There is no way to be completely shameless and throw a tantrum on the ground.

Shen Qingyue came out and said, "You said that when your daughter gets married in the future, she shouldn't be thinking about her parents' things. Since she will get married sooner or later, why can't you bear it for a year or half a year?

I hurried to sleep in the lower room. My eldest sister, my third sister, and I have been working on the land for years. When we get old enough, you will sell it to buy a house. What do you treat us as, slaves?

And don't even mention you raising us. When my parents died while working on the road, the village gave them a pension, which was more than enough to support the three of us sisters! You took it all."

When the people around heard that when the couple died, the village and the county had applied for a full 500 yuan, which would have been enough to support them for ten years if converted into food.

The village chief didn't expect that not a penny of the money fell into the hands of Shen Mei and others. If this were to be made public, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part as the village chief.

The village chief said to Xu Xiuzhi, "Didn't you say you'd take one hundred and give the remaining four hundred to the children? This is what his parents left for them, right?"

Xu Xiuzhi felt the village chief's words were like accusations against her. She said aggrievedly, "They were still young at the time, so how could they manage so much money? I spent all the money on them. Raising children is so expensive."

Xu Xiuzhi was misleading, but everyone else saw clearly that compared to the new clothes worn by the second and third branches of the Shen family, the clothes worn by the sisters Shen Qingyue and Shen Mei were really shabby.

The village chief didn't want to listen to their excuses.

He turned to Shen Qingyue and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to split up the family." As soon as Shen Qingyue said this, all the Shen family members were stunned.

"No." Several people from the Shen family said in unison.

They had all secretly "engaged" Shen Qingyue, and the other party had promised her a thousand yuan.

Everyone in the Shen family thought that this little girl wanted to argue and express her grievances, but they didn't expect that the first thing she said was to split up the family.

Grandma Xu Xiuzhi said, "I'm not dead yet. I wonder who dares to divide the family property."

Shen Qingyue had a somewhat sarcastic smile on her face: "Grandma, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Anyway, I am not a member of your family. You can't keep me!"

Xu Xiuzhi was enraged. The division of the family was a complete challenge to her authority. She had always been the one who had the final say in the family. No one had ever dared to contradict her.

No one knew what had possessed Shen Qingyue today, and she kept provoking her.

With a roar, he pounced towards Shen Qingyue, wanting to tear her clever mouth apart.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one could react.

Third Aunt Liu Yu had been lurking nearby. Seeing the old lady scolding her granddaughter, she became excited. She was trying to break up the fight and get involved in some undercover boxing.

Shen Mei wanted to stand in front of her sister, but was immediately pulled behind by Shen Qingyue.

Shen Qingyue had been suppressing this anger for a long time.

She is a professional at beating people.
