Chapter 133: She couldn't accept that her son knew her vicious side.

At first, they didn't believe that a rainstorm would happen, so they didn't stockpile any food.

After waiting for a night, the neighbors in the compound made a lot of noise.

Only then did they begin to feel a little scared, wondering if the rain disaster was real.

So Zhang Xiumei took a basket and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some early in the morning.

There were more people at the supply and marketing cooperative than usual. She went there early, and if she had queued up, she would definitely have been able to buy some, but someone recognized her.

Not only did he ridicule her a few times, but he also took advantage of the fact that he was in front of her and bought up all the rice and meat, which were already very limited!

Before, Zhang Xiumei didn’t take Ruan Qing’s words to heart. She thought that even if the Ruan family had great power, they couldn’t forcibly control the affairs of the supply and marketing cooperative, right?

Unexpectedly, people directly used the news reports in newspapers to spread the word that anyone who saw her buying things could buy all the things and not let her buy any, and could ask Ruan Qing to reimburse them for all the money!

This is simply too much!

Lin Dahai's eyes darkened, and he realized that something was really wrong.

Their current savings are not enough to leave home and escape.

What's more, they didn't know whether the rain disaster was only affecting their area or other places, so where could they escape to?

His dark eyes fell on Zhang Xiumei, "If you don't want Xiaojun to starve to death, go and admit your mistake and apologize to them!"

Zhang Xiumei glared at him, thinking it was ridiculous. "I'm going to apologize? Lin Dahai, it was you who couldn't control your lower body back then! Now that Lin Ziqiu knows about it, you want to push all the responsibility onto me? No way!"

Lin Dahai stood still with his arms folded, a cold light in his eyes, "Don't scare yourself! On the day Li Xiuyan was found, it was impossible for a third person to know. The most that damn girl knew was that we had been together for a long time."

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "Come to think of it, if you hadn't instigated me to poison her, she wouldn't have died so early!"

Zhang Xiumei felt guilty, but she quickly asked back, "If she doesn't die, do you think the two of us can survive? With her temper, she'll let everyone in the factory know about us! Now you're clearing yourself of all charges! Ugh!"

"I'm telling you! If this matter is really discovered in the future, if anything happens to me, you won't be able to escape!"

Lin Dahai's face was filled with anger. "I think you are really crazy! Do you want to watch both of us go in and leave Xiaojun alone outside to be bullied?"

Lin Xiaojun has always been Zhang Xiumei's weak spot.

For the sake of her son, she is willing to give up anything.

"My son? Isn't he your son too? Are you a man? You really have no responsibility at all! I must have been blind to agree to be with you!" Zhang Xiumei regretted more and more, but now she didn't have the confidence to take her son away.

The savings she had saved for a long time disappeared. She suspected that Lin Mengyao had stolen them, but her last hope was placed on her daughter.

As long as Lin Mengyao lives a good life in the future, she will have finally reaped the rewards of her hard work.

This is why Lin Dahai wanted to get the money back and thought about going to the countryside to confront Lin Mengyao, but she tried her best to stop him.

Regardless of whether Lin Mengyao stole the money or not, if Lin Dahai made a scene, Lin Mengyao's reputation would be ruined. Even if she didn't take it in the end, she would still be criticized.

If Lin Mengyao can’t hold her head up in her husband’s family, what future will she have?

Lin Dahai was not at all bothered by her accusations, because he knew that even if Zhang Xiumei hated him in her heart, she would not leave him.

Just like Li Xiuyan, Li Xiuyan didn't like him that much at the beginning, but women are mean and can endure anything for their children.

"mom!"

Lin Xiaojun ran in from outside. "People outside are saying that we are going to have a rainstorm. They are all hoarding food. What about us?"

Zhang Xiumei squatted down and touched her son's face. "It's all because of your father's incompetence that our family can't buy food."

Lin Xiaojun frowned and complained, "Dad! Didn't you get your salary? Why can't we buy it? If we don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it, we won't be able to buy it!"

Lin Dahai shouted angrily: "What do you know! Can I starve you to death?"

Lin Xiaojun clenched his fists. Ever since he witnessed Lin Dahai bullying his mother, in his heart, Lin Dahai was not a good person. "They all said that Lin Ziqiu had a lot of food. You are her father. Did you bully her mother like you bullied my mother? That's why she hates you and we can't buy food!"

"I hate you too! If anyone is going to starve to death, you should be the only one to die! My mother and I are both implicated because of you!"

His words directly hurt Lin Dahai.

He was so angry that he slapped Lin Xiaojun in the face, "You rebellious son! I raised you up, but all you care about is your mother. You think your mother is a good person and I am a bad person? Then do you know that if it weren't for your mother, Lin Ziqiu's mother..."

“Shut up!”

Zhang Xiumei was afraid that he would tell his son the truth.

She couldn't accept that her son knew her cruel side.

Lin Dahai snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. After all, Lin Xiaojun was still young. If he really knew about the murder, and if he let it slip one day, they would be the ones in trouble.

Zhang Xiumei hugged her son, looked at the marks on his face with heartache, and said softly, "Xiaojun, your eldest sister is now on the list of wealthy families. Our family's life or death depends on her words, but she has been giving in to you since you were a child and loves you very much. After all, you are her brother. If you go and beg her, she will definitely be soft-hearted and give our family some food for your sake."

Lin Xiaojun was innocent.

Zhang Xiumei also thought of Lin Ziqiu's past. Although she didn't like her and Lin Mengyao very much, she always protected Lin Xiaojun.

Besides, Lin Xiaojun is young. Even if he did some bad things in the past, as long as he admits his mistakes, Lin Ziqiu should not do anything to Lin Xiaojun.

She didn't believe that Lin Ziqiu would be so heartless.

Lin Xiaojun gritted his teeth, turned his face away and said, "I don't want to beg her."

Although he is young, he still cares about his reputation. He bullied Lin Ziqiu a lot when he was a child. What does it mean for him to run to her for help now?

Zhang Xiumei burst into tears when she saw this. "Then let everyone in our family starve to death! It's Mom's fate that has ruined you!"

"mom!"

Lin Xiaojun couldn't bear to see her so sad, so he compromised, "Why don't I go? I'll go and beg her to give us food."

"Mom, don't cry... I listen to you. I will listen to you."

Zhang Xiumei wiped away her tears. She didn't want to use her son, but there was really no way to buy food at the moment. The worst result was that even if Lin Ziqiu was still unwilling to give them food, if a rainstorm really happened, Lin Xiaojun could stay in the Zhong family.

Just relying on Lin Ziqiu, could she really have the heart to kick a child out?

Even if she could be cruel, what about the Zhong family?

Don't you think she's too vicious?

In order to maintain his position and image in the Zhong family, Lin Ziqiu could never abandon Lin Xiaojun.

It was precisely because of this realization that Zhang Xiumei came up with this idea.
