"I don't care, you just said you wanted to take care of him, so you have no choice but to take him away."
Ever since Li Chunmei gave birth to three sons for Zhou Pingwen, she felt she could stand up straight and act like a tyrant at home, even daring to openly mistreat Zhou Ziquan, her ex-wife's son.
She wasn't worried at all that Zhou Pingwen would think she was mean and then divorce her.
With her three sons, Zhou Pingwen would never divorce her.
Moreover, she also knew that Zhou Pingwen's previous relationship hadn't ended in a very dignified way, and that the man still held a grudge against that woman.
Otherwise, how could he have stood by and watched Li Chunmei "abuse" Zhou Ziquan?
Isn't it because they hate the house because of the crow? They think Zhou Ziquan was born to that woman, so they turn a blind eye to his plight?
Li Chunmei was well aware that Zhou Pingwen still harbored feelings for his ex, but she didn't care at all.
Anyway, she already has Zhou Pingwen under her thumb. The two of them already have seven or eight grandchildren, so she's not worried at all about how Zhou Pingwen will treat her.
Even if she wanted to kill Zhou Mingye now, Zhou Pingwen wouldn't say a word.
Li Chunmei wasn't that ruthless, but she still disliked the little brat. She would be happy if someone could get rid of him.
Ideally, they could also make a fortune off this little brat.
Selling him to human traffickers wouldn't be good for her reputation.
But Chen Suwen was different.
If Zhou Mingye were handed over to her to raise, she wouldn't have to bear the stigma of selling her grandson to human traffickers, and she could even get a sum of money.
Chen Suwen's family is well-off. If she raises this little brat well, she can even get her old man to come and beg for money from her.
After all, this little brat is her old man's grandson, whose blood is thicker than water. How could he possibly abandon his grandfather after he becomes successful?
Chen Suwen wasn't in a hurry at all, calmly watching Li Chunmei as if she were a clown.
"Why...why are you looking at me like that?" Li Chunmei was very annoyed by the woman's gaze. Why was this woman looking at her like that?
Why are you still so annoying?
Chen Suwen crossed her arms. Although she was sitting while Li Chunmei was standing, her posture made it look as if she was looking down at Li Chunmei.
"This was the first time I'd ever seen anyone selling children, or even engaging in forced buying and selling." It was truly an eye-opener for her.
Chen Suwen looked at Zhou Mingye. This child was beautiful, but that didn't mean she had to raise him.
His future achievements were indeed impressive, although he died young. But if she were to argue with Li Chunmei and Zhou Pingwen for a long time, she wouldn't be particularly willing.
"Who forced you? Didn't you say yourself that you liked this jinx and wanted to keep him?"
"Look at him!"
Ignoring the people around them, Li Chunmei pulled Zhou Mingye, who was hiding next to Zhou Qingshan, towards her with great force, making the child's face contort in pain.
But Li Chunmei didn't care whether he was in pain or not. It wasn't like she hadn't hit this brat before. It was just a scratch, it wouldn't kill him.
"Look at this jinx, he's so handsome! You don't have such a good-looking little brat in your family, do you?"
Although Li Chunmei was not very willing to support the little brat, she didn't mind praising herself in order to get him to Chen Suwen and apologize.
"What do you mean? You're saying my kids are ugly? They look so much like me, how dare you say I'm ugly?"
What Chen Suwen couldn't stand the most was being called ugly.
Someone once said she was a gossip, and that she held a grudge for decades.
Although I didn't retaliate, I remembered what the other person said for many years.
Now that Li Chunmei dares to say she's ugly, she shouldn't blame Li Chunmei for throwing a tantrum.
"You dare say I'm ugly? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Your eyes look like they'll never open, your nose is flat like a round onion, and your face is practically skin and bones..."
"You are so ugly that you are a disgrace to your parents, the Party and the people, and your children, yet you dare to say I'm ugly?"
"Even if I, Chen Suwen, am not as beautiful as an angel, I was still the most beautiful girl in the factory back in the day. How dare you say I'm ugly!"
Actually, Li Chunmei isn't particularly ugly; she just has a fairly ordinary appearance, except that her eyes are a bit small and her nose isn't very prominent.
But Chen Suwen couldn't stand being attacked for not being good-looking, so she had to belittle the other person in return.
"How dare you call me ugly! Chen Suwen, you shameless woman, how dare you call me ugly!"
"You're the ugly one! You're an old woman in your fifties, yet you dress so flamboyantly. Who are you trying to seduce?"
Women certainly don't like being told they're ugly. Chen Suwen couldn't stand it, and neither could Li Chunmei.
The two attacked each other's appearance, then their husbands, children, and so on, until finally they came to blows.
"mom!"
Chen Suwen's children were all there, and of course they couldn't stand by and watch their mother be bullied, so they quickly stepped forward to take her side.
Li Chunmei was no match for four hands, let alone Chen Suwen's many children, who were more than just four hands.
So she was at a disadvantage and was grabbed and hit several times by Chen Suwen.
"You old hag, you stepmother who treated your stepson badly dares to talk back to me? Now you're even planning to sell your stepson's grandson."
"Your heart is black, you rotten wretch!"
"You stole someone's own father's job, and now you're planning to sell his son. Aren't you afraid Zhou Ziquan will come looking for you in the middle of the night and drag you out to pay with your life?"
Chen Suwen was cursing and swearing, and Li Chunmei was not to be outdone, using far more vulgar language when she cursed Chen Suwen.
Moreover, she wasn't afraid at all of being haunted by Zhou Ziquan's ghost. It wasn't her who killed Zhou Ziquan, so what was she afraid of?
As for her son taking Zhou Ziquan's job, so what?
Her son has already established himself in the factory and made many friends, so she is not worried at all about losing his job.
Feeling emboldened, she wasn't afraid of being gossiped about. Wasn't it only natural that she treated the little brat badly?
That's not her biological grandson.
Even Zhou Pingwen, the biological grandfather, doesn't care about this grandson. She, as the stepmother, treats him badly, so what is there to feel guilty about?
Besides, some people aren't even good to their own grandchildren, so what's wrong with them not being good to children who aren't their own grandchildren?
When she spread the word "jinx" back then, it was because she was determined to treat him badly so that the whole village would stay out of it.
If someone meddles in other people's business, what if this jinx gets on their mind and brings bad luck to their own family?
Humans are naturally inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm; when it comes to their own interests, few people are willing to sacrifice them.
Although Li Chunmei wasn't intimidated by Chen Suwen's few words, she still lost the fight.
Knowing she couldn't afford to suffer a loss, she could only utter harsh words and flee in panic under the watchful eyes of Chen Suwen and her children.
"You just wait!"
She has a son too!
She'll go back and find them right away, and then she'll definitely fight Chen Suwen for another three hundred rounds.
"I'm waiting for you, you heartless bastard who sold his grandson." Chen Suwen sneered, her face full of disdain.
