Zhong Chengfa was so choked that his face turned red and his neck thickened. In his exasperation, he didn't care about anything else and blurted out: "One hundred yuan is not enough! But, doesn't Dad still have 500 yuan in pension? Adding up to 600 yuan! With 600 yuan, I can at least get a formal job!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhang Chunxue, but also Zhong Chengren, Zhong Chengyi and Liu Cui'e next to them were stunned!
Zhang Chunxue was stunned at first, then seemed to understand something and suddenly laughed.
"Okay, okay... So this is what you're really thinking! I was wondering why you were so obsessed with that hundred dollars! So you're waiting here! As for the five hundred dollars, I'm telling you, it's gone!"
"What?"
This time, not only Zhong Chengfa, but also Zhong Chengren, Zhong Chengyi and Liu Cui'e were furious!
Liu Cui'e jumped up even more. She had been thinking about the five hundred yuan for several years, but had never found a chance to get it!
She pointed at Zhang Chunxue's nose and screamed, "Zhang Chunxue! You spendthrift woman! Five hundred yuan! Such a huge sum of money! You just said it was gone? It's only been a few years? Even if you ate meat every day, you couldn't spend all the five hundred yuan! Where did you put the money?"
Zhang Chunxue crossed her arms, looking as if it was a matter of course.
"How I spend my money is none of your business. The leader who gave me the pension clearly said it was for me to raise these children! Now, aren't they all grown up? The eldest and second oldest are married! Educating them, getting married, which one doesn't cost money? Isn't it normal that the money has been spent?"
Liu Cui'e was choked and couldn't speak, she could only gasp for breath.
When the third son, Zhong Chengyi, heard that something was wrong, he quickly shouted, "Mom! I haven't married yet! My share is still there!"
Zhang Chunxue glanced at him coldly, and that look made Zhong Chengyi feel inexplicably cold in his heart.
"Don't worry, your mother will find a way for you to marry a good wife. I will definitely marry you a good one."
Zhong Chengyi looked at his mother's cold expression. Although he was still nervous, he temporarily suppressed his doubts about the five hundred yuan when he thought about the hope of getting married, and shut his mouth awkwardly.
Zhang Chunxue no longer paid attention to her sons, each of whom had his own thoughts, nor did she look at Liu Cui'e, who was so angry that she was about to faint.
"Mom, it's getting late. We're about to have dinner, and it's time for you to go home."
Liu Cui'e was about to throw a tantrum, but Zhang Chunxue had already turned to look at her three sons.
"What are you doing standing here? You invited this person here, so hurry up and send him away! Otherwise, I don't think any of you will be able to eat lunch today!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the three brothers' expressions changed again.
The eldest brother Zhong Chengren and the second brother Zhong Chengren looked at each other and saw the helplessness and frustration in each other's eyes.
Finally, the eldest brother gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. "Grandma, how about... you go back first? We'll come back to see you later..."
The second child also quickly agreed: "Yes, grandma, mom is... busy right now, you go back first, go back first."
The third brother, Zhong Chengyi, also stepped forward hesitantly and tried to pull Liu Cui'e's arm.
"Get out of here!" Liu Cui'e shook off his hand and stared at Zhang Chunxue. "Zhang Chunxue! Just wait! This isn't over yet! Xiaoxiao has to marry Wang Laowu! No one can stop her!"
After saying this, she left angrily.
The three brothers of the Zhong family were left standing in the yard, looking at each other, with indescribable complexities on their faces.
Back in the house, the atmosphere was a little depressing.
The three brothers of the Zhong family also sat back at the table awkwardly and picked up their chopsticks.
The eldest brother, Zhong Cheng, rolled his eyes, picked up a golden fried egg with chopsticks, and put it into Zhang Chunxue's bowl, "Mom, you've been tired for a long time, eat something."
The second son, Zhong Chengren, followed suit and quickly picked up some food: "Mom, eat this, it's tasty."
The third brother, Zhong Chengyi, was a little slow and also stretched out his chopsticks.
Zhang Chunxue seemed not to notice the three of them being so attentive, and didn't even raise her eyelids.
She stretched her chopsticks to the other side and steadily picked up a large portion of greasy scrambled eggs for Zhong Xiaoxiao next to her. "Xiaoxiao, eat more. You look so thin."
Zhong Xiaoxiao was stunned, her hands holding the bowl trembling slightly, and she whispered, "Thank you, Mom..."
The three brothers' chopsticks froze in mid-air.
This mom... must have taken the wrong medicine today!
Didn't the three brothers get all the good stuff first? When did it become Zhong Xiaoxiao's turn? And why did they pick food for her?
After dinner, Zhong Xiaoxiao stood up as usual and went to clear the dishes on the table.
"Put it there!" Zhang Chunxue suddenly said, her eyes turning to Li Hongjuan who was slowly moving towards the stove. "Big brother's wife, go wash the dishes!"
Li Hongjuan was about to slip back to her room, but when she heard this, she stopped and her face was immediately filled with reluctance.
Why? Wasn't that damn girl the one who washed the dishes before?
She was extremely unwilling and was about to open her mouth to argue, but when she looked up, she met Zhang Chunxue's cold eyes. Thinking of Zhang Chunxue's stubborn character over the years, Li Hongjuan shrank her neck and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Just then, a figure hurriedly stepped into the courtyard, with a smile on his face and a loud voice. The voice could be heard before the person even arrived.
"Oh! The Guosheng family! Congratulations!"
Matchmaker Li walked up to Zhang Chunxue and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
"Chunxue, I'm here to tell you some great news! The Wang family asked me to ask about a good date for Xiaoxiao's wedding. I can also go and report back to them!"
