Tian Guihua, who had been in the kitchen, rushed out and blocked the person in the yard.
In the blink of an eye, Tian Guihua was arguing with a group of people.
Liao Zhixin, who was about to kill the chicken, hurriedly ran over with the chicken in one hand and the knife in the other.
It seems that he went up to help Tian Guihua, probably because he was worried that she would be taken advantage of.
When the group saw that Liao Zhixin was carrying a knife, their attitude immediately softened considerably.
Xu Xiuzhen glanced at everyone; they were all there, and everyone she was looking for had arrived.
So he got up and went out.
The group of people who were arguing suddenly fell silent and turned to look at her.
Tian Guihua was the first to rush forward: "It's cold outside, sister-in-law, it'll be warmer inside. Don't pay attention to them, they're all like ignorant children, they don't even understand how hard your journey back was."
"Sister-in-law, you just need to rest. I'll persuade them to go back so they won't bother you."
Xu Xiuzhen glanced at Tian Guihua and shook her head, saying, "Let them in. I have something to say to them."
"No... what can my sister-in-law say to them? The journey back must have been tiring enough, you should rest for a while."
Xu Xiuzhen also lost her temper and pushed Tian Guihua away: "I'm not tired! I have something to say to them!"
The thought that Tian Guihua was still harboring her own little schemes when she was already in dire straits made her furious.
"Alright, alright, your sister-in-law has said she wants to see everyone, so don't stop her."
Liao Zhixin pulled the person aside before she turned and walked towards the crowd.
She hadn't walked more than a few steps when she vaguely heard Tian Guihua say, "Can't you use your brain? Didn't you see they're all here to borrow money? We..."
The rest of the conversation was not so clear.
Xu Xiuzhen glanced at Tian Guihua, then ignored the two whispering behind her.
As she approached the crowd, someone slipped a red card into her hand. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an invitation.
"Xiuzhen, my second son is getting married next week. I was just wondering how to send you an invitation when you came back. You must do me the honor of coming to the wedding banquet!"
Before she could even react, several invitations were shoved into her hands, some of them still wet with ink!
Xu Xiuzhen raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when suddenly a hand grabbed her: "Auntie, please, have mercy and save my daughter!"
Before she could even see him clearly, he knelt down in front of her and started crying uncontrollably.
Xu Xiuzhen looked down at the woman who was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't even remember who this person was.
She simply pushed the woman's hand away and looked at the crowd, saying, "I'm here to ask you for money."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.
They looked at each other.
Xu Xiuzhen didn't waste any words and said directly, "I have an urgent matter and need money right now. You all need to make some money quickly, as I need to go back tomorrow."
Shortly after he finished speaking, someone stepped forward.
“Xiuzhen, that’s not what you said back then! Didn’t you say that we’re all relatives, and it doesn’t matter if we pay back what we have or not?”
"Exactly! Auntie, you used to say that Nanxing was a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of millions, and that he would give you at least seven or eight hundred thousand a month as a gift. You even said that this amount of money couldn't even buy the bag you were carrying."
"Yeah, you even said that this amount of money isn't even as much as your nanny's salary!"
"..."
Once someone started, the voices grew louder and louder.
As more and more voices joined in, Xu Xiuzhen's face grew increasingly red.
She wanted to broaden the horizons of her poor, unsophisticated relatives and show them how successful her son was.
As for that money, she never intended to get it back at the time.
However, we have no other choice now!
Just as the people in front of them were talking amongst themselves, Tian Guihua and Liao Zhixin also ran over.
"What? Pay back the money? Sister-in-law, you've come here to ask us to pay back the money?"
“I… am also facing difficulties!” Xu Xiuzhen said.
Tian Guihua's smiling face just a moment ago has now turned into a long, drawn-out expression.
“Sister-in-law, your family is so wealthy. If you really have difficulties, do you think our little bit of money can solve them? Besides…”
As Tian Guihua was speaking, Liao Zhixin picked up the chicken in his hand and said, "You tell me, I'll go kill the chicken."
Just as he turned around, Tian Guihua pulled Liao Zhixin back.
"Why are you still killing them? They're here to ask us for money!" Tian Guihua angrily snatched the chicken from Liao Zhixin's hand and threw it away.
"Look at you, how old are you? How can you be so clueless? No wonder people look down on us! Come on, let's go home!" Tian Guihua pulled Liao Zhixin and turned to go back into the house.
After being humiliated by Tian Guihua, Xu Xiuzhen felt even more choked up and couldn't swallow the anger that was stuck in her throat.
She turned to the crowd with a stern face and said, "Paying back debts is a matter of course! Hurry up and go back and raise the money, or... I'll sue you!"
These poor relatives, who had never seen the world, were afraid of nothing but death and officials.
She can get her money back with just a little scare.
"Sue us? Xu Xiuzhen, we're relatives in the same family tree!"
"Exactly! They came here swaggering around like they owned the place, and now they're saying they want their money back. Aren't they just playing us for a fool?"
"Pah! What a piece of junk!"
“She doesn’t even treat us like relatives, why should we bother with her? Let’s go home.”
"Hmph! Go ahead and sue us if you want! Do you really think we're some country bumpkins who've never seen the world? Did we even give you an IOU? You're going to sue us? Show us the IOU!"
Xu Xiuzhen was now even more embarrassed.
Because she didn't actually make these people write IOUs at the time.
However, the thought of these people smiling and flattering me one minute and then turning their backs on me the next makes me feel a surge of anger.
But it just won't come out.
As the crowd dispersed, Xu Xiuzhen's face turned from white to pale, then to pale purple, and finally to purple and black.
And the sky didn't cooperate either, it even started to rain.
After the large crowd dispersed, Xu Xiuzhen turned and walked into the house.
As soon as she reached the door, Tian Guilan blocked her from entering.
"What are you doing?" Xu Xiuzhen asked.
Tian Guihua crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe, saying, "If my sister-in-law doesn't treat us like family, why are you even coming into my house? You might as well go back to where you came from!"
"You..." Xu Xiuzhen gritted her teeth and said, "I paid for the repairs of this house. If anyone should get out, it's you!"
"Ha! So what if you've done a good job? This land belongs to the Liao family! Our elder brother has been gone for so many years. To be honest, you have nothing to do with the Liao family anymore! An outsider like you think you can seize the Liao family's homestead?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say I'm not a member of the Liao family..."
Before Xu Xiuzhen could finish speaking, the door panel was slammed into her face.
