Now Zhong Chengfa's face was completely gloomy.
He turned around and left without hesitation: "Since you care so much about your mother's family, then you will live in your mother's family for the rest of your life!"
He laughed sarcastically: "Sure enough, I should have listened to my mother and divorced you earlier!"
He left without saying anything, which left the Li family dumbfounded.
Several people looked at each other, and Li Hongjuan was completely confused and quickly chased after him.
"Chengfa? Chengfa? Wait for me! You can't just leave like this!"
Mrs. Li grabbed her hair and pulled her back, saying rudely, "Why are you running away? You want to leave before you even get your food money?"
Li Hongjuan felt a sharp pain on her scalp and had to stop.
Li Dazhuang hesitated for a moment: "How about...how about letting her go back?"
"What are you saying?" Mrs. Li smiled smugly. "Dad, you know that after Zhong Guosheng died, Zhang Chunxue received a large pension. I heard it was five hundred yuan!"
"Now that they've split up the family business, Zhong Chengfa will definitely get a lot of money! If he wants a wife, he has to pay!"
"Compared to marrying a new wife, we are just asking him for some food money!"
"I suppose he can tell which one is cheaper?"
Li Dazhuang immediately agreed with this: "Each of their three sons can get at least 150 yuan! That's 150 yuan!"
Li Hongjuan looked at Zhong Chengfa's receding back and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mrs. Li pushed her impatiently: "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry all day long! You've cried away all your blessings! Why don't you go back to work? Are you really waiting for free rice?"
She couldn't help cursing again: "Whoever has a daughter like you, you're so unlucky! All you do is stay at your parents' house and eat and drink all day long!"
While scolding Li Hongjuan, she was calculating in her mind how much money she should ask from Zhong Chengfa.
Zhong Cheng returned to the village angrily, with a belly full of rage.
As soon as he got home, he saw Zhong Hongqing squatting in the yard playing with mud. He was so angry that he walked over and kicked the mud that Zhong Hongqing had made into pieces.
Zhong Hongqing was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.
Zhong Chengfa immediately started scolding: "Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry! Why are you just like your mother!"
Zhong Xiaoxiao just came back from a stroll outside. Seeing this, she couldn't help but frown: "Brother! What are you doing? Why are you taking your anger out on Hongqing? Where's sister-in-law? Didn't you go to pick her up?"
"Don't mention your sister-in-law!" Zhong Chengfa's anger flared up when he heard her asking about Li Hongjuan. "I went to pick her up, but her parents wouldn't let her go and even asked me to pay for her food!"
"I won't give a damn! The worst that can happen is a divorce!"
He cursed and said a lot of dirty words.
Zhong Xiaoxiao's eyes widened: "But brother, when you went to their house before, didn't they keep urging you to bring sister-in-law back? Why is it that now that you went to pick her up, it's like this again..."
Zhong Chengfa scowled, "That family is like a vampire... Damn it! I'm not going to answer them! I want to see who collapses first, them or me!"
He even thought about getting a divorce.
If he had known that they were going to get divorced, why did he still want to divide the family?
Zhong Chengfa became more and more angry. Seeing that Zhong Xiaoxiao was already comforting Zhong Hongqing, but Zhong Hongqing was still crying, he dragged Zhong Hongqing over, pressed him on his legs, pulled down his pants and spanked him a few times.
"I'll make you cry! I'll make you cry!"
Zhong Hongqing suddenly cried even louder.
Zhong Xiaoxiao angrily pulled Zhong Hongqing back and helped him put on his pants: "Brother! What's the point of taking your anger out on the child?"
She whispered to comfort him: "Don't cry, Hongqing, I'll take you out to play..."
Zhong Hongqing then followed Zhong Xiaoxiao out sobbing.
When Zhou Mingli came back from get off work, Zhang Chunxue took her to her room, gave her the money she had divided, and told her about the division of the family property.
"...From now on, you and Yuanyuan will live in the second brother's room. If you feel it's inconvenient for me to live in the front yard with the eldest and third brothers, have someone partition the yard off and build another door for the house. You can come in and out from our back yard from now on."
Seeing Zhang Chunxue's thoughtful consideration, Zhou Mingli felt like tears were about to flow out: "Mom! You are so good to me!"
"I'll do whatever you say!"
Zhang Chunxue reached out and patted her shoulder: "Silly child, why are you crying? If you call me Mom, I will protect you!"
Zhou Mingli couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself into Zhang Chunxue's arms and started crying.
To be honest, neither her biological parents on her mother's side treated her as well as Zhang Chunxue.
As dinner was approaching, Song Xingzhi arrived with a big watermelon in his hand.
Zhang Chunxue was pleasantly surprised: "Where did the watermelon come from?"
Song Xingzhi handed it to her with a smile: "At the brigade headquarters, some fellow villagers picked some and sold them. I bought two and brought one over for you to cool down."
"Then I'll put it in the well to cool down first, and then cut it and eat it after dinner!" Zhang Chunxue found a net bag and hung the watermelon in the well.
Song Xingzhi rolled up his sleeves and asked, "So, do you need my help tonight?"
Zhang Chunxue quickly said, "You're a guest, how can I ask you to help?"
Song Xingzhi looked at Zhang Chunxue seriously: "But I don't want to be just a guest. I also want to help Sister Chunxue with some things that I can do myself."
Zhang Chunxue's heart warmed: "Then...then can you help me wash the rice? I'll go cut the vegetables."
Song Xingzhi's eyebrows curved immediately: "Okay! Then I'll go right away!"
Zhang Chunxue told him the location of the rice jar, and Song Xingzhi immediately got busy.
One of them washed rice and vegetables, while the other cut vegetables. They talked and worked at the same time, and they cooperated very well.
After Song Xingzhi washed the vegetables, he saw a strand of Zhang Chunxue's hair hanging down. He couldn't help but reach out and gently lifted her hair and tucked it behind her ear.
His slightly cool fingertips touched Zhang Chunxue's earlobe. Zhang Chunxue was stunned and a faint blush appeared on her face.
She looked at Song Xingzhi shyly before softly uttering two words.
"Thanks."
Song Xingzhi's fingertips moved, his face was a little hot, but his eyes were full of smiles: "Well, you're welcome, it's my duty."
It should be.
These three words circled in Zhang Chunxue's mind, and it seemed as if every stroke of the word turned into a butterfly fluttering its wings, making her already slightly red cheeks even redder.
Song Xingzhi looked at her slightly red cheeks, and his heart felt sweet as if honey was flowing into it.
What they didn't know was that Zhou Mingli was about to enter the kitchen and saw this scene. She was so shocked that her eyes widened.
