"What's it got to do with you? You're just sitting around doing nothing. If you dare say another word, I'll have the boss kick you all out!"
When Mrs. Zhang heard what these people said, she turned around angrily and spit all over the floor.
"And your boss hired you to work here, so what are you doing now? You're all being cunning and treacherous. If you keep watching, I'll deduct your wages!"
The people in front of her were all strong men. They had not wanted to argue with her, but now when they heard what she said, their faces turned black.
"Oh! Who doesn't know that Zexing's family was driven out by you? When they left, they took nothing with them except this thatched hut."
"Now that you see that others are living a better life, you come back to pester them. Besides, everyone knows that your Jiang Yue actually colluded with outsiders to steal food from your own village!"
"Now that you can't make it in the village anymore, you come here and think of your son? How funny!"
The men in the village generally don't gossip easily, but they really can't stand what's happening in Lao Jiang's family.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her face turned pale. She wanted to say something but Xie Ying beside her pulled her sleeve.
"Mom, let's get down to business."
Old Mrs. Zhang glared at her.
"You just stare at them with those silly eyes, and you don't even help me scold them. What's the use of you?"
Xie Ying curled his lips and said nothing, but there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
That damn old woman only knows how to beat and scold the people around her.
As he spoke, Jiang Zexing had already walked out. Seeing Old Zhang not far away, the smile on his face disappeared and he took a step forward.
"Why are you here?"
He didn't even call out "mother", but Old Mrs. Zhang didn't hear the alienation in his tone.
"You still have the nerve to ask?"
As soon as she saw Jiang Zexing, Mrs. Zhang's anger burst out.
"My family can't even afford to eat, and you're still bragging about building a new house. You're simply unfilial!"
Jiang Wan came over from behind and her eyes fell on Old Zhang.
"Hurry up and take out the money from your family. Your father and I are almost starving to death. Are you going to watch us starve to death?"
"Didn't you do the same to us back then?"
After a long time, Jiang Zexing looked up, and his gaze fell on Old Zhang without a trace of emotion.
"What on earth do you want to do here today?"
"Okay, you've grown wings, haven't you? How dare you talk to me like that?"
Old Zhang looked at him, glanced around, saw a wooden stick beside her, picked it up, and walked towards Jiang Zexing.
'Bang--'
Before the stick fell, it was blocked by Jiang Zexing and thrown to the ground.
"Hey, come and take a look! This unfilial son actually dared to beat his own mother!"
"If I remember correctly, Jiang Zexing doesn't seem to be Old Zhang's biological son, right?"
An old man in his sixties appeared in the crowd and muttered a few words in a low voice.
"What? There's such a thing?"
"You are still young and don't know these things."
The old man looked at them and spoke earnestly.
"Back then, Jiang Zexing accidentally walked into the village and was adopted by the Jiang family. Ultimately, they were attracted by the one hundred taels of silver that Jiang Zexing had on him!"
The old man's voice became louder and louder, and those around him could hear it clearly.
"What? There's actually such a thing?"
"One hundred taels of silver! I've always said that the Jiang family would never do anything without profit. They actually took Jiang Zexing in out of kindness. It turns out it was because of the one hundred taels of silver he had on him!"
"Yes, he took a hundred taels of silver from him, but he beat and scolded him at every turn and made him do all the housework. He's truly heartless!"
As she listened to the words coming from all around, Old Zhang's expression became more and more ugly.
Xie Ying was extremely disgusted with the old Zhang in front of him. She was so stupid!
This time she came to ask Jiang Zexing for help, but she actually acted like this.
"What are you all just sitting here looking at? Get back to work!"
Old Zhang stood up from the ground and jumped in front of Jiang Zexing.
"Boss, even if I'm not your biological mother, we raised you. Now give us the food!"
Jiang Zexing turned around without saying a word, went into the house, and carried out two bags of grain.
"Here are 200 kilograms of grain for this year. Take them home after you've taken a look."
When they divided the property, they signed a document promising 200 kilograms of grain a year, and they would not go back on their word.
Seeing the food, Old Zhang and Xie Ying hurried forward and opened the cloth bags in front of them.
'Bang--'
After seeing what was inside, Old Zhang pushed him to the ground.
Jiang Zexing's face darkened instantly.
"Damn it! How dare you fool me with this low-quality food!"
"Two hundred kilograms of fine white flour, bring it here quickly!"
When they heard her words, the people around her couldn't help but gasp.
How much silver would two hundred kilograms of fine white flour cost?
Even the richest family in the village cannot eat white flour and fine grains for every meal. Old Zhang is really asking for too much!
"Grandma, you're so arrogant! We'll leave these 200 kilograms of food here for now. It's up to you whether you want it or not. If not, we'll take it back."
"You uneducated little bitch, why are you butting in when adults are talking?"
As soon as she saw Jiang Wan, the anger in Old Zhang's heart began to bubble up.
"We only have this coarse grain here. We have already given you 200 kilograms of grain. The villagers around here are all witnesses."
