Transmigrated only to be buried? To voluntarily commit suttee for her husband? Xu Zhichun, terrified, lifted the white shroud and sat up, tearfully telling everyone that King Yama wouldn't take...
Chapter 129: Collect Interest
"Sister Zhichun, I'll give you some hot water."
Liang Chunfen boiled some hot water, poured it back and forth between two tea bowls to warm it up, and then poured half a bowl and brought it to Xu Zhichun.
"Thank you, Equinox."
Xu Zhichun took the hot water with a smile, held it in her hands, and slowly drank two sips. The warm tea flowed down her throat into her stomach, and her pounding heart and uncontrollable tremors finally slowly calmed down.
Xu Zhichun looked up and saw Liang Chunfen's expression, which was somewhat worried, puzzled and helpless. His heart warmed and he smiled.
"spring equinox."
"Ah, Sister Zhichun."
"Chunfen, don't tell anyone about our visit to my aunt's house today, not even your mother."
"Um."
"If anyone asks if we've been to my aunt's house, just say no."
"good"
"I'll definitely remember that."
"Okay, Sister Zhichun."
"If anyone asks about your aunt's family, you always say you don't know."
"Uh-huh."
"Remember?"
"Remember!"
Liang Chunfen nodded vigorously, somewhat puzzled and awkwardly comforting Xu Zhichun: "Sister-in-law Zhichun, I remember everything. Please...please don't be sad, okay?"
Xu Zhichun was startled, then smiled and nodded gently: "I'm not sad."
Liang Chunfen looked at her and smiled too.
Xu Zhichun said to herself that from now on, in her heart, Chunfen was the same as Mingxuan. As long as she was around, she would never let anyone bully her or let her suffer.
"You help me look after the house. No one is allowed to enter my house except Xiaoyan, Third Brother Liang, and Aunt Zhu'er."
"Um!"
Xu Zhichun went to Liang Lizheng's house.
Seeing Aunt Liang, Xu Zhichun's eyes immediately turned red when he thought of what happened just now, "Aunt Liang!"
Aunt Liang was startled: "Zhichun, what's the matter? Come on, come in and talk slowly. Don't cry, don't cry, oh, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhichun shed a few tears, and looked at Aunt Liang with red eyes: "Aunt Liang, my eldest aunt and the others are forcing me to remarry, and I don't want to, Aunt Liang! Our two families have clearly separated, and I don't understand how they are hindering me. Why are they forcing me to remarry when everything is fine? They are so stubborn, saying that I have to marry even if I don't want to. I have no choice but to ask for your help."
"My heart is clear. In life, I am his, in death, I am his ghost. If anyone forces me to remarry, I will die by slamming my head against the wall or jumping off a cliff again rather than obey."
Xu Zhichun covered his face and burst into tears as he spoke.
Aunt Liang was stunned. She couldn't help but hold Xu Zhichun in her arms and pat him gently. She was furious: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't be sad, Aunt Liang and your uncle will definitely make the decision for you! This is really unreasonable. How can an elder force his niece's wife to remarry? Our family can't afford to lose this person! They are really confused."
Xu Zhichun really started crying, like a tearful person. While crying, she expressed her determination, expressed her gratitude, and complained bitterly to the Zhang couple. She said that she would never remarry and would die if they forced her to.
Aunt Liang asked her grandson to call back Liang Lizheng who was visiting.
After hearing this, Liang Lizheng's face darkened. "Those two are crazy! Zhichun, don't worry, and don't be afraid. They don't have the final say in this matter. Of course, your own decision counts. You may not know that before Mingxuan went to the city to attend the county school, he came to me to pay his respects and asked me to take good care of you. That kid has a conscience, too. He cares about you. Don't be afraid, you are not alone!"
Xu Zhichun was stunned, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Did Mingxuan actually come to see the village head?
Good, good, her love for him was not in vain.
Liang, the village head, was very angry. Aunt Liang went to find Zhang in person and asked a villager who was idle at home to go to the field at the village entrance to find Uncle Liang. She also invited Fourth Aunt, Sixth Uncle and others to clarify the matter today.
Zhang and Uncle Liang had something to hide and were unwilling to come at all, but how could that be possible?
Liang Li was about to call them over, how could they hide?
The more you hide, the more you will become a laughing stock and become more embarrassed.
The couple had no choice but to come.
Uncle Liang had no chance to collude with Zhang. On the one hand, he was worried about Zhang's irresponsible talk, and on the other hand, he hated Xu Zhichun for being ungrateful.
If Xu Zhichun really told everything, then don't blame him for being rude.
As soon as Xu Zhichun saw them, he said with tears in his eyes, "Uncle, Aunt, I will never remarry, so give up on this idea! If you force me, I would rather die again. If you want my life, just force me."
Fourth Grandma and Aunt Liang hurriedly shouted “Pooh, pooh, pooh!”
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Amitabha, children speak without restraint, children speak without restraint!"
Everyone in the room was furious and started to scold Uncle Liang and Zhang.
Uncle Liang and his wife were so angry that they were stunned.
So, Xu Zhichun actually only said this?
Didn't she mention the collusion between Zhang and Lian Laosi?
The two of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when they came to their senses, they were furious again.
This Xu is so cunning.
If she mentioned Lian Laosi, they could just insist that she was no longer innocent and had to marry Lian Laosi. Lian Laosi would definitely cooperate.
But she didn't say a word, so could they bring it up themselves?
Can they say that they plotted against her and Lian Laosi?
Uncle Liang thought about it but still felt unwilling to give up. He said with a fake smile, "Zhichun, we mean well. Lian Lao Si came to your house today to see you. Haven't you met someone? You really don't want to consider it? He's a person to live with. Wouldn't it be nice for you to have a companion in the future?"
"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Xu Zhichun was shocked. "Today, my eldest cousin's wife came to me and asked me to go to your house. She said that my eldest aunt wanted to talk to me about remarrying. I didn't want to go at all. My eldest cousin's wife also said that it was what you two wanted, and I had to marry even if I didn't want to. I was so scared that I was fidgeting all afternoon. After thinking about it over and over again, I hurried to ask Aunt Liang for help. What do you mean by seeing each other? What about Lian Lao Si? I don't know."
Uncle Liang was stunned and subconsciously looked at Zhang.
He was not at home at the time, so why didn't Xu Zhichun go to his house? He didn't know.
Zhang was shocked and almost jumped up: "You are lying with your eyes open! You went, you obviously went! And you were with that Lian Laosi——"
Xu Zhichun threw himself into Aunt Liang's arms and burst into tears: "Aunt Liang, my aunt is trying to drive me to death, wuwuwu."
The fourth grandmother and the others were so angry that they kept scolding Zhang, "You old woman, don't you know how to speak? Is there any aunt like you?"
"That's right! Let's not talk about whether this is a proper meeting or not. Even if it is a meeting, you can't say such shameless words. Oh, you really don't want this old face. Even if you don't want this old face, you can't slander the child like this."
"Listen, listen, what kind of talk is that!"
Uncle Liang shouted angrily, "Zhang, if you dare to slander someone like this without any evidence, it's almost the same as murder. Don't you think about yourself or Liang Mingxiang? If you do this, we in Liangjia Village will not tolerate you!"
