As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed envious expressions.
This leader said that he would support Zhang Chunxue... Then their family will be able to act arrogantly in the village from now on!
Zhong Chengfa and his brothers had been standing by without daring to say a word, but when they heard what the leaders said, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Boss..." Zhong Chengfa rubbed his hands, "I want to find a job..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Chunxue shouted, "Go back!"
Zhong Chengfa was startled, and then his face was full of dissatisfaction: "Mom! I haven't even finished my sentence!"
Zhang Chunxue looked at him coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you want to say! I'm warning you..."
She glanced at her other two sons again and said, "And you, don't try to take advantage of your sister in any way!"
Zhong Chengren was also extremely anxious: "Mom! We are your sons!"
"What's wrong with my son? Can he lie on my daughter and suck her blood?" Zhang Chunxue's tone became increasingly cold. "Where do you get the nerve to do that?"
Zhong Chengyi was smarter after all, and he quickly apologized with a smile: "Mom, what you said... Of course we won't do that! Xiaoxiao is our most beloved sister!"
Zhang Chunxue sneered, "Really? I hope so!"
As soon as the town leaders left, the yard suddenly became quiet.
Zhang Chunxue was about to go into the house, holding Zhong Xiaoxiao in one hand and the heavy woven bag in the other, when Zhong Chengyi immediately came up to her like a flatterer, his smile uglier than crying: "Mom, let me help you get your things!"
He reached out to take the prizes and gifts, and even winked at Zhang Chunxue, "These are for our family, we can't let outsiders get their hands on them."
Zhang Chunxue snorted coldly and hugged the things in her arms: "Who is the outsider? Your grandmother and the others are the outsiders!"
Liu Cui'e was not willing to be outdone. She dragged Huang Xiaolan and Gao Xiuli behind her, cursing as she went into the house.
"Wow, so many good things!" Huang Xiaolan's eyes lit up and she wanted to look through the bags immediately, "See what's in it..."
Gao Xiuli also joined in the fun: "Chunxue, your family is so blessed! Now you don't have to worry about food and drink, right?"
Liu Cui'e was even more direct. She simply knocked her cane against the doorstep and sat down with a straight back. "I say, these gifts should have been given to us old folks. Guosheng died young, and we suffered too!"
Zhang Chunxue's face turned cold instantly. Without saying a word, she snatched the big bag back, stuffed it into the cupboard with a "bang", and locked it.
"These are the scholarship, books, and clothes the leaders gave to Xiaoxiao. What are you trying to do with them?" She raised her voice. "Usually, you almost spit when you pass by my house, and now you're coming in?"
Huang Xiaolan withdrew her hand awkwardly, not daring to say anything. She could only grumble sarcastically, "Oh, you've finally made it! When you see us from now on, you'll have to look down on us."
Gao Xiuli's words were even more vicious. She whispered, "Women are powerful even without men's support. Let's see how long she can last."
Liu Cui'e was the most unconvinced and slammed the table on the spot: "Zhang Chunxue, no matter what, you are still the daughter-in-law of my old Zhong family! I am your mother-in-law, how dare you do this to me?!"
Zhang Chunxue glanced at her sideways, her tone cold, "Alright, old lady, stop using the 'mother-in-law' label to pressure me. How many years has Zhong Guosheng been dead? To put it bluntly, my daughter hasn't even had a single meal in your family in the past ten years since we separated. What right do you have to control us?"
Liu Cui'e's face turned pale from being choked, but she still spoke eloquently: "Don't think that just because someone is praising you now, you feel valuable. Do you still want to remarry? Let me tell you, which man would want a hag like you who is old, widowed and raising children?! You must be dreaming!"
Zhang Chunxue wasn't angry at all, she just raised her eyebrows slightly: "Whether anyone wants to be your business or not? I'm a free agent. I can marry whoever I want, or I can stay single. It's a hundred times better than being sucked dry by disgusting relatives every day."
The three brothers Zhong Chengfa looked at each other, huddled in the corner, and didn't dare to interrupt.
Suddenly, Zhang Chunxue narrowed her eyes and stared at Liu Cui'e. "Oh, there's one more thing. I heard Matchmaker Li shouting this morning that the Wang family's betrothal money had been delivered... Old lady, what's going on with this money?"
The air suddenly froze.
Liu Cui'e was originally very confident, but at this moment she suddenly lowered her head, her two cloudy little eyes rolling around, and she refused to look him in the eye.
Huang Xiaolan and Gao Xiuli glanced at each other, then quietly took a step back, not daring to say a word.
really!
Zhang Chunxue sneered inwardly, her voice suddenly rising: "Since it wasn't my idea, then whoever collected the betrothal money can marry into the Wang family! Don't set your sights on our Xiaoxiao anymore, and don't even think about fleecing us with this money!"
After a moment of silence, Zhang Chunxue raised her chin and said to her three sons, "Now, please ask your grandmother, eldest aunt, and third aunt to leave. From today on, this room belongs to us, an orphan and a widow. We don't welcome others to dictate our affairs, and we certainly don't welcome those who try to take advantage of us."
The three brothers hesitated for a second and did not move. They secretly observed each other out of the corner of their eyes to see who would speak up first to take the blame.
Seeing this, Zhang Chunxue mercilessly added, "You don't want to listen to me, right? Then forget about setting foot in this door again! Food, bonuses, everything, all belong to us two! Go wherever you want, and find a way to make a living!"
These harsh words finally worked. The three grown men pushed each other a few times, and in desperation, they all rushed towards the group of old people.
