Chapter Ninety-Nine: So Fierce Today
Apart from essential items like clothes and wardrobes, Shen Yuming gave away almost everything in his house in front of everyone—furniture, pots and pans, unwanted clothes and shoes.
Of course, Guo Rou and Sun Fenglan received the most. The young wife from the Zhang family who spoke up for Shen Yuming also received a stack of scraps of cloth. The rest were all taken to Shen Yuzhu's courtyard.
After the goods were delivered, Guo Rou and the others returned the two cents that Shen Yuming had given them.
“We don’t want your money. You’re raising several children all by yourself, and life isn’t easy for you. We’re all from the same village, so no matter what happens in the future, remember to speak up.”
"That's right, let's not worry about seniority anymore. You and that deadbeat Zhang Li are divorced, so from now on we'll call each other sisters. It's good that we took your cabinets and table today, I have to go home and tidy them up."
"Me too, you go about your business. We've been from the same village for years, and I must say, you were really something today, hahaha..."
"Absolutely, I get scared just looking at it."
Aunt Qian and the others gave the money to Shen Yuming without any intention of keeping it. They chatted and left with smiles on their faces. Shen Yuming watched for a while and then smiled slightly.
The children in the west room, perhaps because they weren't sleeping soundly, woke up when people were talking in the yard. Zhang Jie dressed herself and then helped her younger siblings dress. Qian Cheng was still half asleep. Panpan saw that he still wanted to sleep, so she reached out and patted his little bottom. After a while, he fell asleep again.
Qianqian pulled the thin blanket up for him and lay down as well, clearly not wanting to get up even though he was awake.
"Sister, let your younger sister watch over your brother, let's go out."
"Um!"
As soon as the three sisters stepped out, they saw their mother, aunt, and uncle packing their things. They stood there dumbfounded. The last time the family moved all their things out, it was because their grandmother made a fuss that they lost their home. Could it be the same this time?
Zhang Jie was a timid and cowardly child, but when she saw the things on the flatbed cart, she couldn't help but tremble all over. Just as Panpan was about to release her pent-up emotions and scold Granny Zhang, Zhang Jie suddenly ran out.
This unexpected turn of events startled both Shen Yuming and Shen Yuzhu.
"Xiaojie, Xiaojie, where are you going? Congsheng, you watch the baby, okay? My sister and I are going to check on the baby."
Shen Yuzhu followed closely behind Shen Yuming and chased after him. The girl, who used to walk carefully, was now running very fast, and the two of them couldn't catch up even though they were trying their best.
Zhang Jie went straight to the Zhang family home. There were still quite a few people there. After the housing issue was resolved, they began to arrange Zhang Li's funeral.
The person has been placed in the coffin, and the lid has been closed.
Granny Zhang was still crying and complaining about Shen Yuming's cruelty and the children's ignorance. The house was in a mess. No one expected that a child would suddenly run over and start hitting the coffin with a stone.
"Ah~, ah~! I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death! You bullied my mom and me while you were alive, and now you're going to harm us even after you're dead, waaaaah.... I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
After a year of recuperation, the little guy has grown plump and strong, and with just a few blows, he managed to leave several marks on the coffin.
The scene was truly horrifying: a daughter smashing her father's coffin. Everyone was stunned for a moment before quickly pulling her away. Being so young, they even managed to snatch the brick from her hand and throw it away.
But she still wouldn't give up, struggling desperately, biting anyone who tried to stop her.
Lu Guangzhi grabbed her and Zhang Jie kicked and punched him in his arms. Unfortunately, her movements were too vigorous, and the old village chief got slapped.
Old Mrs. Zhang still felt sorry for Zhang Li; he was her only son.
Seeing that Zhang Jie still dared to act crazy, he was about to slap her when Shen Yuzhu and Shen Yuming arrived. One of them quickly protected the child, while the other kicked Zhang's mother in the knee.
"Oh my god! This is unbearable! This unfilial wretch dared to smash his own father's coffin, and you two despicable people still dare to protect him? This is outrageous! I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore, waaaaah..."
"My son, my son, open your eyes and look! Your mother is being bullied to death! Waaah... You're no good girl, you... you'd better take her with you, my son!"
These words were practically a curse to Zhang Jie's death. Shen Yuming couldn't stand it, so he slapped Zhang's mother across the face, and Shen Yuzhu immediately stopped in her tracks.
She stared blankly at her older sister beside her, not expecting her to be so fierce today.
"Shut up! If you dare say another word about my daughter, I'll fight you to the death."
No sooner had Shen Yuming finished speaking than Zhang Jie hadn't let go. The little girl was still acting crazy, and as soon as she was free, she ran headfirst into the old lady's arms.
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
“You bad old woman, you’re such a bad old woman! You’ve bullied my mother, you’ve bullied me, you’ve bullied my sister! You and Dad are both bad people, you’ve both bullied us, you’ve both bullied us! I’ll beat you to death! This is our home, this is our home! Get out, all of you!”
Shen Yuming quickly hugged Zhang Jie, who yelled at Granny Zhang while tears streamed down her face.
People who have lived in the same village for decades know each other well. Zhang Li is a scoundrel, but he is also Zhang Pozi's own son. In the past, everyone spoke well of her, saying that she was a loving wife. Most people just wanted her to truly care for her wife.
Shen Yuming is from out of town. It's a pity that the girl finally has a home. Even if you can't give her someone to rely on, don't bully her too much.
So at this moment, whether it was Zhang Li's coffin or Zhang Pozi being bumped by her own granddaughter, no one in the village lent a hand, not even a member of the Zhang family.
Changshan couldn't bear to see her like this, so he helped the old woman to her feet, asked her a few questions, and only let go of her hand after learning that she was alright.
Someone who witnessed this scene knew perfectly well that the two old people didn't actually have a very good relationship.
"Alright, Xiaojie, let's go. Mom sold this yard and bought Auntie's house. From now on, we'll live with Auntie, okay?"
"Really, Mom?"
"It's really Xiaojie. Your mom's things weren't kicked out; it's just that you're moving. From now on, you'll see your aunt as soon as you wake up, and your aunt will cook delicious food for you every day, okay?"
"Okay, okay, boohoo, Auntie, I'm so scared, I'm terrified, boohoo..."
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
Shen Yuming: "......."
The villagers: "..."
Who was that guy who was just now, acting like he was ready to fight to the death? Now he's scared, look at him!
