Chapter 17 Street Beating of Chen Juncai
Liu Jianli had already seen through the situation, so she went downstairs straight to the kitchen to prepare her own breakfast, avoiding being scolded by them in the living room.
Zhao Fengxiu pointed at their noses and launched into a tirade, "Are you even human? You're all grown up, and your mother still has to get up early every day to cook breakfast for you? You're animals! Go eat shit!"
You bunch of heartless debt collectors! You're all grown up with hands and feet, why don't you cook for yourselves? Do you expect me to breastfeed you? Or what?
"Anyone who dares to leave without paying their household bills will have nowhere to stay when they come back today! I'll personally throw your bedding out! I can't count on you anymore anyway!"
Liu Jianguo was so angry his heart ached. He hardened his heart and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll pay! I'll pay! I'm really fed up! What kind of old lady is as troublesome as you? You made a scene last night, and now you're here again this morning. I'll pay! You tell me how much!"
Zhao Fengxiu's eyes darted around. "There are five people in your family! Five yuan per person isn't enough. You'll have to hand over your entire thirty yuan salary! Keep the remaining few yuan for yourselves. Let's see if you can save up a few thousand this time!"
Lin Jingyi's eyes widened in shock. She quickly tugged at Liu Jianguo's arm. She didn't want to pay. If they paid it all, they wouldn't have a single penny left!
Those few dollars aren't even enough for a child's snacks for a week!
Liu Jianguo was furious. He shook off Lin Jingyi's hand. "I'll pay! I'll pay it when I get paid in a few days! Okay? Make us breakfast on time tomorrow, alright?"
Zhao Fengxiu pouted, "That's more like it. If you dare to mess with me, just you wait and see! I'll go to your school and make a scene!"
Liu Jianguo shouted, "Who's the liar and who's the dog shit! Humph!"
Liu Jianguo didn't eat anything, turned around and went out. As he passed by Wangcai's food bowl, he kicked it, and Wangcai barked at his back.
Liu Jianbang...
Zhao Fengxiu glanced over and said, "Third brother! Your eldest sister and second brother have already made their vows, what about you?"
Liu Jianbang looked pained. After thinking for a while, he sat down next to Zhao Fengxiu, grabbed her arm, and began to plead emotionally, "Mom~ my dear mom! I just got a permanent position, I have no money~ can you please not take my money?"
Zhao Fengxiu coldly shook off his hand, even slapping it away in disgust. "Stop trying to get close to me! I've raised you all these years, and you're useless! Don't you think I'm being ridiculous? Don't you think I'm immoral? Then I'll show you how immoral I can be! You can get out of here even if you don't pay me! You can sleep on the streets or lie in the sewers, I don't care about you anymore!"
When Liu Jianbang saw that his soft approach wasn't working, he stood up and took a hard line, pointing at Zhao Fengxiu and yelling, "Old woman, don't push your luck! I've got a foreign girl in my life. Once we're together, I'll go abroad and make big money. You can beg me for money, but I won't even bother with you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Fengxiu jumped higher than him and slapped him hard!
With a snap!
Liu Jianbang was slapped so hard by Zhao Fengxiu that he landed right in front of Wangcai's rice bowl, which was incredibly embarrassing.
Wangcai barked loudly at him!
Zhao Fengxiu, hands on her hips, shouted, "You've gone too far! Who are you calling an old woman? I'd rather have given birth to a piece of barbecued pork than raised you! I'd rather have raised a dog than raised you! Get out now! Get out right now! You don't need to clean up after me! Look at any other son who treats his mother like this! Do you even have a human being?"
Liu Shiping, who had just finished eating, shook his head and grumbled, "How old are you? Why are you still fighting with a dog for food? I'll just share some with you every morning."
The Liu brothers, Jiancheng and Jiangong, who were waiting in line to be scolded, were dumbfounded.
My second and third brothers were beaten by Mom both night and morning!
How much more precious could these twins be?
They remembered what their mother had said last night: she almost lost her life when she gave birth to them!
So Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong each took one of Zhao Fengxiu's hands, comforted her, and helped her sit down by massaging her shoulders and hands.
Liu Jiancheng said, "Mom, calm down! There's no need to argue with Third Brother like this. We'll pay, Jiangong and I will both pay! Although we posted Eldest Sister's notice, that's what we should do! Can we just pool our money and pay in the next few days?"
We have quite a few underlings; let's pool our resources and look for jobs while we're at it. Could you please not throw away our bedding?
Zhao Fengxiu, panting, finally felt much better. She glanced at Liu Jiangong, who immediately chimed in, "We'll be yours! Fourth Brother and I will too! We're not as unruly as Third Brother towards you, Mom. We're very well-behaved. We're still your precious sons!"
Zhao Fengxiu pushed them away and said, "Whether he's a precious son or not depends on whether you can befriend him! What little brother? Thinking of bullying other people's kids again? Have you got a death wish? This is a society ruled by law. If you two want to die, sever ties first!"
Don't drag my whole family into this! Fighting is illegal! If you win, you go to jail; if you lose, you're in the hospital! I just helped you settle something last month, isn't that enough? Should I contact the police and have you arrested?
Seeing this, Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong exchanged a glance and immediately changed their tune, saying, "No, no, no! We won't ask our younger brother for money, we'll borrow it! We'll go find jobs right away, okay? Mom, please..."
...
After dealing with the twins, it was Liu Jianmei's turn. They all agreed to contribute to household expenses, handing over whatever amount they had in their pockets.
Zhao Fengxiu counted the few coins in her hand and clicked her tongue.
If I had known it would be this easy, why did I suffer so much in the first place? Raising these bastards is really not as good as raising Wangcai at the gate!
As Zhao Fengxiu watched Liu Jianxin eat her breakfast porridge, she recalled the scene of her tears and grief last night, exactly the same as at the funeral.
She watched Liu Jianxin finish eating and leave, and then followed him out!
In the oil pressing shop, Cheng Liu Shiping was busy all by himself, and he sighed helplessly.
Zhao Fengxiu followed Liu Jianxin, wanting to see her go to work with her own eyes!
Zhao Fengxiu was heartbroken to see Liu Jianxin so upset last night!
She chased after him to the street and watched as Liu Jianxin entered the street where the clothing store was located, just a few hundred meters away.
Unexpectedly, a man wearing a headscarf suddenly rushed out from a noodle shop and blocked Liu Jianxin's way!
They were talking in a garbled voice.
Zhao Fengxiu could see that Liu Jianxin's shoulders were trembling; he was very excited!
People passing by also started to gather around and discuss it, and even the clothing store owner came out to watch the commotion, shaking her head in bewilderment.
Zhao Fengxiu squinted and looked closely. She was so angry that she ran over quickly, pushed through the crowd, rushed into the crowd, and punched the man wearing a headscarf!
The man cried out and collapsed to the ground, his headscarf falling away, revealing Chen Juncai's face!
Still not satisfied, Zhao Fengxiu raised her foot and kicked him hard, shouting, "You dog! You beast! Why don't you just die? Why are you still here to harm my daughter? If you want to die, then hurry up and die! What are you still doing here?"
"Haven't you Chen family lost enough face? You dare to stop my daughter and bully her? You're asking for death! You deserve to be shot! You dead toad, you beast! You stink even more than a dead rat in the sewer!"
