Holding a pile of money, she ran into her mother's family.
Chen Zhaodi seemed to have foreseen her own fate.
If Zhou Hongyu knew she had messed things up, she would tear her to pieces.
Zhou Hongyu is a heartless person and would never understand her difficulties like Chang Hongbing does!
Startled, Chen Zhaodi slapped away the hand that reached into her pocket, quickly stuffed the money in, closed the zipper, and protected it tightly!
Old Mrs. Chen said sternly, "Chen Zhaodi, I'm your own mother, what's wrong with taking a little money from you!"
Chen Zhaodi was so frightened that she could barely speak: "Mom, Mom..."
How can she protect her money?
In the eyes of her family, it was only right and proper for Chen Zhaodi to take the money!
Hey, I've got it! First of all, she can't admit that this money is her own!
That's right, a large portion of this money also belongs to Zhou Hongyu!
Granny Chen called out to those nearby, "Eldest daughter-in-law, come here quickly!"
And my sister-in-law too!
In a one-to-many situation, even if it's not hers, it could very well be taken away, since her family won't care whether she lives or dies.
No matter what, she's still a married daughter, like water spilled from a cup, with her husband's family to support her.
Chen Zhaodi felt a sense of fear. She couldn't bring herself to kill her own family, and she might not be able to protect the money!
Chen's sister-in-law arrived with her family and widened her eyes when she saw the pile of beautiful clothes.
Granny Chen felt incredibly proud in front of her in-laws, and warmly greeted them, "Take whatever you like from Zhao Di's stall!"
Chen's sister-in-law and her sisters were overjoyed.
"Wow, Auntie's stall! I want this pink one, and this light blue one too, ah, I want them all..."
"Sis, could you help me with this? I can't carry it anymore. I still want that dress..."
Chen Zhaodi was at a loss, and no one listened to her.
Just then, a moderate voice came from the shop behind me.
"Who are these people? They're like Japanese soldiers invading a village! They've taken all of my aunt's clothes!"
"My aunt must be blind to have asked her to help sell clothes. By the time she gets back, the stall will be gone. Why don't we grab our tools and help her protect the stall?"
"Let's wait and see. I think this family is the one with no manners. The eldest sister-in-law from the younger sister's family seems alright..."
Chen Zhaodi was too ashamed to listen to what was said next. All she could think about was that if she let her family continue to be so unruly, they would never be able to live with themselves again!
"roll--"
With a roar of fury, Chen Zhaodi, her face flushed, snatched the clothes back from her family and then chased them away.
Chen's sister-in-law retorted angrily, "What are you doing? What are you doing! It's just a few of your tattered clothes! So this is how daughters of the Chen family bully people? If you're so capable, don't ever come back to your parents' home! Let's see if your in-laws will treat you like a human being!"
Chen Zhaodi retorted, "You don't need to worry about that. My mother-in-law treats me better than your own mother treats you!"
Chen's sister-in-law's family immediately started yelling that they wanted to beat her up.
At this moment, the fierce old woman Chen slipped into the crowd.
Chen Zhaodi rolled up her sleeves, ready to get to work again today.
Zhou Hongyu's relatives came out of the shop carrying sticks.
"Trying to fight and cause trouble? Come on, we're ready to fight!"
The thick stick looked extremely frightening. When Uncle Zhou Hongyu gestured with it, it was powerful and strong, as if he could break someone's leg at any moment.
Chen's sister-in-law's family trembled with fear, and left with a single sentence: "Who wants to fight with you? You're so vulgar!"
Watching them run away, Zhou Hongyu's relative helped tidy up the clothes before going back.
Chen Zhaodi kept her head down and worked silently.
Other people's family members are human beings, so why can't hers be human beings?
Fortunately, although she had upset her family, at least she kept her clothes and money; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to withstand Zhou Hongyu's wrath.
"Chen Zhaodi, you're really something, helping outsiders bully your own people!"
Suddenly, Granny Chen appeared and whispered in Chen Zhaodi's ear, afraid of attracting Zhou Hongyu's relatives from the shop again.
"Mom." Chen Zhaodi said weakly, "Why is she still here?"
Granny Chen stretched out her hand and gestured with her eyes to the pocket at her waist: "Give me some more money to go back and appease your sister-in-law, and we'll pretend this never happened!"
"This is the boss's money!"
"What's wrong with the boss's money? She won't see it if you give it to me. Can't you just make up an excuse and say the money is lost? You're so stupid!"
Chen Zhaodi: "..."
She finally understood the meaning behind Zhou Hongyu's occasional exasperation at her daughter's lack of ambition.
I hate it so much!
Chen Zhaodi made up her mind to lie: "The boss is in the shop behind me, Mom. Don't think they don't know. If I really give it to you, they'll chase you with sticks, and I won't be able to stop them!"
That thing can really break legs!
Granny Chen was still a little scared: "You, you... we're so broke we can't even afford to cook, you can't really let me go back empty-handed!"
Every time, the family is so broke they can't even afford to cook.
Chen Zhaodi was somewhat numb to this excuse.
But she knew she absolutely couldn't take money out of her pocket for her mother, or she'd be in big trouble. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after that... as long as she was still selling clothes here, Granny Chen had to be there.
Then you just wait to get the money!
Chen Zhaodi appealed to her emotions and reason: "Mom, I'll come back to see you next month for the holiday. Hongbing got a bonus for his bravery, and I'll take his bonus back to give to you. You'll feel so proud!"
As for whether it's a bonus, who knows? She could use her own savings.
Granny Chen nodded warmly.
That's because there weren't many neighbors who could marry as well as Zhaodi from her family. Back then, when times were good, the Chang family was eager to marry off their sons in order to keep their mansion. They would go and get married as soon as they found a suitable wife.
