Chapter 29 What if Xu remarried?

Uncle Liang could only force a smile, "Then you're busy. We'll leave first. After all, we are family. You are the daughter-in-law of our Liang family. You should be more considerate of the Liang family's reputation when speaking."

Don't say things you shouldn't say.

Xu Zhichun raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, uncle, I understand. As a person, you should know your own status. Not only should you speak in accordance with your status, but you should also act in the same way."

Uncle Liang's face darkened a little, and he sneered slightly: "You know best."

In the eye contact, Xu Zhichun's eyes were cold: Who doesn't know and who knows clearly.

Uncle Liang left angrily with a dark face.

Zhang couldn't help but take two steps closer to Aunt Zhu'er, her eyes fixed on the bowl of peanut pork trotters in her hand, almost unable to move away. Look at the rich soup and the soft and tender pork trotters, it looks delicious.

"Brother-sister Zhu'er, did you send this specially for them?"

Aunt Zhu'er: "Hmm? Ah?"

Zhang reached out to take it, smiling and saying, "They can't eat so much. My little one needs to eat more as he's growing. Give it to me. Xu, you're an adult, you wouldn't want to snatch food from your nephew, would you?"

Xu Zhichun: “.”

Aunt Zhu'er thought she'd arrived at a bad time. Xu Zhichun had said that pig's feet stewed with peanuts were delicious, and that the longer the stew, the more tender the meat, the better. So she'd already started simmering it. Since the two houses were close, the stove would burn a long time with a large piece of wood. She could just go back and check on the fire from time to time, without disturbing her from peeling and chopping konjac.

Sure enough, it was stewed for a long time, and the pig's trotters and peanuts were soft and glutinous and very tasty. She specially served a large bowl for Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan to taste, but she didn't expect that the two first and second wives were also there.

Although Aunt Zhu'er was of the same generation as Zhang and Bai, they were much older than each other and rarely interacted with each other. She had specially picked out good quality meat for the pig's trotters she sent to Xu Zhichun, and the quantity was quite large. How could she bear to let Zhang get away with it cheaply?

Besides, Zhang and Xu Zhichun have a bad relationship, so she can't get away with it even for the sake of her good sister.

Zhang took a step back and hid her hands to the side, stammering, "No, it wasn't delivered. I, I just suddenly remembered that I had something to tell Zhichun, and in my haste, I forgot to put down the bowl and came here. Yes, I did have something to ask Zhichun."

Zhang didn't believe it, curled her lips and snorted, "Then you really have a bad memory."

Aunt Zhu'er chuckled.

Xu Zhichun: "Aunt, is there anything else? If not, please go back."

"snort!"

Zhang glared at Xu Zhichun angrily and left angrily.

Mrs. Bai had been standing quietly by the side. She smiled at Xu Zhichun and followed him.

Xu Zhichun felt a little numb from her smile. She was not afraid of Zhang's open bad behavior, but this second aunt always gave people a very uncomfortable feeling, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, who knew when it would jump out and bite people.

The more Zhang thought about it, the angrier she became. She cursed non-stop all the way. Bai listened for half of the conversation and finally smiled when they reached the door. "Forget it, sister-in-law, don't be angry. Even if you're mad, Xu won't see it. Even if she did, she wouldn't care. I'm afraid she'd be happy. Why bother?"

Zhang was even more angry: "How dare she!"

After thinking about it, it seemed that Xu Shi really dared to do it. After all, she dared to hold a knife. "It's really unfortunate for our family. That idiot who doesn't know how to appreciate kindness."

A hint of cruelty flashed across Bai's eyes, and she smiled faintly, "I can't blame Xu. Minglang is gone, and she has no one to rely on. She's still young, so she can't help but want to hold on to everything. After all, she still has a long way to go."

Zhang snorted. She didn't care whether Xu Zhichun lived or died. She had many sons, all of whom were growing up. With only a small amount of land, what was it enough? If she could get all the good farmland from the third branch, she would be much more comfortable. It had originally belonged to the Liang family. Now that Liang Minglang was gone, it should have belonged to their eldest branch. Xu Zhichun was an outsider, so how could she have a share?

Mrs. Bai sighed, "If Mrs. Xu remarries and has someone to rely on for life, she won't be so stubborn about holding on to our Liang family's things anymore."

Zhang's heart moved and suddenly it became clear.

Yes, let Xu remarry! She is still young and has no children. I don’t believe she doesn’t want to remarry.

If she remarried and left, not only would all the lands of the three chambers belong to her family, but she would also receive a share of the betrothal gifts. Her family was raising that brat Liang Mingxuan, and no matter how successful he was in the future, he would have to repay her.

Bai added, "Xu is very beautiful and young, but I'm afraid she might not be willing to marry into an ordinary family. We have to find a good family for her."

Zhang sneered, "No matter what, she's still a second marriage. It's good enough that someone wants her. How can she be so picky? She's so beautiful! Second sister-in-law, they say the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. I'll take care of this matter for her, so don't worry about it."

Bai lowered her eyes and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."

"snort."

Zhang finally felt a little relieved, and she went back to discuss it with her husband.

Bai was also very satisfied and let her sister-in-law deal with the offending matters.

Aunt Zhuer put down a large bowl of stewed pig's trotters with peanuts and smiled, "I cooked it just as you said. It's really delicious. I brought a bowl over for you to try. What are your aunt and the others doing here?"

Xu Zhichun had no sense of family honor with the first and second wives. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's all because of my six acres of fertile land. They wanted it, but I refused to give it to them. They tried to take it away, and when they were forced into a corner, I threatened them with a knife."

Aunt Zhu'er was startled and said hurriedly, "The village head won't allow them to do whatever they want. Next time you go to the village head, don't use a knife. It's too scary. What if you get hurt? They're going too far."

Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "I know my limits. I will find the village head when the time comes."

You can't always ask the village head for everything; asking too much is never a good idea. Good steel should be used where it's needed most.

Aunt Zhu'er sighed inwardly, comforted her softly, and then smiled and said, "My husband is back. He needs to rest for a few days. I told him that your family wants to make something. I have a lot of wood at home. When I come tomorrow morning, ask him to come with me. Just tell him what you want to make. I will make sure it is well made for you."

Xu Zhichun was overjoyed and nodded quickly, smiling. "Okay, okay, then I'll have to trouble Uncle Qi Tian! It would be great if you have lumber, so I can save some trouble. Please just calculate the price for the lumber and labor based on the market price, or I'd be embarrassed to bother you."

Aunt Zhu'er burst out laughing, patted her shoulder affectionately, and said angrily, "What are you talking about? I can still calculate it according to the market price with you? Don't make fun of me. If I really did that, I would be so ashamed. I won't hide it from you, the wood is all purchased, and the calculation is based on the cost price. As for the wages - anyway, he is resting at home, so he can just take a break and practice to relieve boredom. How can it be considered wages!"
