Chapter 28: Unreasonable

Xu Zhichun thought to himself, what do you mean by ten or eight? You’ll be scared to death if I tell you.

Of course, it cannot be said.

She remained silent. Zhang rolled her eyes, and Bai also showed a bit of sarcasm: "You don't want to say it? It means you earn too little and are embarrassed to say it."

Uncle Liang obviously thought the same thing, and said generously, "Since you're embarrassed to ask, we won't ask. Go ahead and do whatever you want. Leave the six acres of paddy field to us. After all, you're busy digging taro roots and running to the county town every day, so how can you have time to take care of the fields? It's wasted. If you leave it to us, we can still harvest some food in the autumn harvest. Otherwise, aren't you afraid of getting nothing?"

"Even though Minglang is gone, doesn't Mingxuan want to live his life? We can't let you mess around at home."

"Even though we've split up the family, we're still the elders. If you do something wrong, we'll intervene. Otherwise, people won't just accuse you of being young and reckless, but will instead accuse us, the elders, of being ignorant."

"that is!"

There are six acres of excellent paddy fields. If the two families divide them equally, each family will get three acres. They don’t even have to plant, and they can harvest them in the fall. How can it be so cheap?

"Since we've divided the family, I'll take care of our own land. No one else needs to worry about it."

Uncle Liang didn't wait for Xu Zhichun to finish his words before he shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! How can you talk to your elders like that? Now that Minglang is gone, no one can control you, right? Women are sharp-tongued and have no sense of propriety. It's a shame for our Liang family to have a daughter-in-law like you!"

Zhang: "Why bother with her? She's an idiot who can't tell good from bad. This is settled. We can't just stand by and watch her ruin the fertile land. We'll go to the fields tomorrow to take care of them. When the autumn harvest comes, we'll go and harvest them. Why bother with her? I don't believe it. If the harvest from the fertile land we've taken care of doesn't belong to us, who will it belong to? Who dares to say it's not right?"

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Ms. Xu, you are a widow, how can you be so ungrateful? You should know that life is not easy for a widow. You will have many requests from us in the future. If you really offend your own family, what good will you get? Don't be so superficial."

Uncle Liang also looked at her with disgust: "She is ignorant, so let's ignore her. Now that we have settled this matter, let's go."

Zhang: "That's right! From today on, this field has nothing to do with you. Don't go into the field if you don't have anything to do with it. If you damage the seedlings, I will never forgive you."

The four people talked to themselves and "decided" the matter, not taking Xu Zhichun seriously at all.

Xu Zhichun was extremely angry and felt a chill in his heart.

It's no use standing straight without anyone to rely on.

Besides, this is a "family affair." Where can you find someone willing to intervene in other people's affairs and offer a few fair words? Even if they were willing, they have no right to intervene.

Xu Zhichun was glad that Liang Lizheng was an upright man, and that her family and the daughter-in-law of the Lizheng's family were partners, which gave her some confidence.

"Mingxuan, go to the village headman's house and ask him to come over. I want to see if someone is trying to forcibly seize our fertile land. Will the village headman allow such a corrupting bully to exist in our village?"

"Don't go!"

"Who are you calling a bully?"

"What do you want to do, you little bitch?"

"Why are you making a fuss about our family's affairs? Aren't you ashamed? Do you have the nerve to inform on your elders?"

Zhang stopped Liang Mingxuan in a hurry.

Liang Mingxuan looked at Zhang calmly: "Aunt, you can stop me for a while, but you can't stop me forever."

Zhang was stunned and became angry. "You ungrateful little brat, your sister-in-law is a nuisance, ruining our fertile land. We are doing this for your own good, don't you understand?"

Xu Zhichun rushed into the kitchen like a gust of wind, and when he came out, he was holding a sharp kitchen knife in both hands with a fierce look in his eyes.

Zhang was so frightened that she screamed "Ah!" and stepped back involuntarily: "Xu, what do you want to do!"

Uncle Liang stood up suddenly: "Xu, do you still have any elders in your eyes?"

Xu Zhichun sneered cruelly, "Are you worthy of being elders? I'm making this clear today: I won't give my family's land to anyone. Anyone who dares to forcibly take it for themselves is denying us, my uncle and my sister-in-law, a way to survive. Don't blame me for being rude! If you're not satisfied with the decision made by the village head, I'll file a complaint with the government."

"You dare!"

"What am I afraid of? Even if I'm bullied to death by you, I'll still feel humiliated. I might as well go to the government office and give it a try. Even if I die, I'll die a quick death!"

"You—you're absolutely crazy! We mean well—"

"You know whether you have good intentions or not! The land deed is in my hand. It belongs to my family. No matter how much you say, it's useless. If you really make me angry, I will see you in court. I want to see whether the officials will believe your lies or the land deed in my hand."

Mrs. Bai sighed softly, looking at Xu Zhichun as if he were an ignorant junior. "You are such a hot-tempered child. We are all doing this for your own good, why don't you understand? It's okay for you to be so stubborn, but don't lead Mingxuan astray. Mingxuan is our Liang family's child, you can't do whatever you want."

Liang Mingxuan didn't say anything, just glanced at his sister-in-law.

His eyes were clear and full of trust.

Xu Zhichun felt warm at the sight of his brother-in-law's eyes. His courage remained intact as he sneered, "Yes, I just don't appreciate kindness. So don't waste your time. Can you please leave now?"

Zhang, as if she had caught a huge handle on her, complained to Liang Mingxuan: "Mingxuan, look, look, your sister-in-law is a scoundrel. She is going to teach you a lesson. Do you hear it?"

Liang Mingxuan: “.”

"Aunt, no one can teach me to be bad. If you don't believe me, just wait a few years and see."

Zhang: “.”

In a few years? In a few years, the daylily will be cold.

Why is this kid talking so irritating?

Xu Zhichun almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Her brother-in-law was so great. It was worth it that she loved him so much.

"Eh? This is—"

Just then, Aunt Zhu'er came in with a steaming bowl in her hand. The aroma of meat wafted over, and Zhang and others couldn't help but look into the bowl.

Wow, a big bowl of stewed pig's feet, stewed with peanuts. It looks very soft and tender, and the soup is white and rich, garnished with green coriander and green onions.

It’s amazing, the more you smell it, the better it smells!

Zhang couldn't help but sniff hard and swallow greedily.

It was not a good thing that the elders of the Liang family joined forces to force their widowed nephew's wife to tell others. In addition to being greedy, the four people were also a little nervous.

Uncle Liang looked at Xu Zhichun with a warning look: "Xu, what are you doing with the kitchen knife? Put it back now."

Xu Zhichun raised the knife in his hand and snorted, "I'll release it when the time comes. Uncle, do you have anything else to say?"

The four people secretly resented each other.

Even if there is something, I can't tell you.

What's more, Xu Zhichun's reckless arrogance really scared the four people, and they didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
