Upon hearing this, the group immediately hesitated.
After hiding in the back for a long time without saying a word, Chen's father finally spoke in a muffled voice: "We don't have to move into the city, and you don't need to change your household registration, but you must give us living expenses every month. Your mother and I raised you and sent you to school. It wasn't easy for us."
Chen Erge immediately said, "That's right. If it weren't for us brothers giving way to you, our daughter, with so many sons in the family, how could you possibly have a chance to go to school?"
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Please, brother, I remember that since I started junior high school, I haven't taken a single penny of tuition money from home. My living expenses and tuition fees were either from relief funds or money I earned by doing odd jobs. I've never taken any money from home. I've already paid off what I owed this family in the past ten years."
Chen's mother said, "You can only receive your relief funds if your family signs off on the application!"
"Holy crap!" Chu Nian gave Chen's mother a good once-over: she had never seen such a shameless person before. Parental signatures were indeed required for student aid funds, so this became a pretext for the family to extort money from her?
Chen Erge said, "That's right, Chen Nian, you can't forget your parents and us poor brothers now that you're rich and successful. Let me tell you, if you live in a villa, we have to live in villas too; if you eat delicacies, we have to eat delicacies too."
Standing next to him, a chubby boy of about ten years old chimed in, "Yeah, Dad, I want to eat something delicious too! I want to eat something delicious too!" He jumped up and down as he spoke.
He was poked by Chen Ersao on the other side.
The chubby boy paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, Auntie, we haven't seen each other for years. Don't you have any gifts for your nephew?"
Chu Nian thought this family was all lazy and good-for-nothings who only knew how to extort money, but after thinking about it, she still took out a hundred yuan and handed it over, saying, "I didn't know you were coming, and I didn't prepare any gifts, so here's some pocket money for you!"
The chubby boy reached out and took it, his chubby face falling as he said, "Just one hundred!"
Chu Nian: "How many do you want?"
The chubby boy said, "Every time I ask my grandma for money, she gives me at least three or five hundred. You only gave me one hundred, which is too little! You're so rich, you should give me at least five hundred!"
"You look like you need five hundred!" Chu Nian cursed, snatched the hundred-yuan note back, tore it into pieces, and threw it in the chubby boy's face. "Since you think one hundred is too little, then you don't have any more. Your parents are able-bodied people, let them earn money for you to spend!"
After she finished speaking, she planned to bypass this family of scoundrels and return to the villa, thinking of moving again. Fortunately, she had bought several properties for herself before, and to avoid future trouble, none of them were registered in her name. Ha!
This villa wasn't even in her name—thanks to the original owner's memories, she knew from the beginning that these so-called relatives were only after her money!
Unexpectedly, Chen Erge was displeased. He reached out and grabbed her, shouting, "Chen Nian, what's wrong with you? Why are you bullying a child? Have you forgotten how your second brother used to discipline you after living a comfortable life away from home for the past few years?"
Chu Nian immediately thought of the original owner of this body, Chen Nian. Back when she was at home, she was often bullied by this second brother Chen, and domestic violence was commonplace. Even when the whole family was home, no one stood up for the original owner. Helping her stop the second brother Chen was something that had never happened before.
This detail alone reveals just how cold and heartless this family was towards Chen Nian, their only daughter. Even if people in the countryside are patriarchal, the way Chen's parents acted is truly heartbreaking!
Chu Nian nodded with a smile and said, "I haven't forgotten, I remember everything. I'll now simulate how you taught me a lesson back then!" After saying that, she went up and punched Chen Erge in the eye.
Chen Erge was caught off guard and had no time to dodge. His vision went black and he felt a sharp pain in his eye. Then one of his eyes turned into a panda eye.
Chen Ersao was so frightened that she pulled the chubby boy back several steps, shouting, "My God, what are they doing? Murder..." Her hysterical voice probably pierced through the atmosphere.
Chu Nian rushed up and slapped her across the face, shouting, "If you yell again, believe me, I'll slap you a few more times!"
Chen Ersao, clutching her slapped face, looked at her in utter terror, her eyes red and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, yet she dared not utter a sound.
Chen Erge only realized now that he had actually been hit by the girl he had always bullied. His anger flared up instantly, and he turned around and cursed through gritted teeth, "Damn it, you even dare to hit me! I'll beat you to death today!" He lunged forward while cursing.
Chu Nian raised her foot and kicked him in the stomach, sending him sprawling on his back.
Chen Erge was completely stunned. In the short time it took for his stomach to hurt so badly that his vision went black, he felt several kicks hitting his buttocks. The pain made his vision go black and he couldn't help but howl.
It wasn't until Chu Nian kicked Chen Er more than a dozen times, feeling extremely satisfied, that the rest of the Chen family realized what had happened.
It wasn't that they were slow to react; they simply hadn't expected Chen Nian, who had always been so accommodating, to become so fierce today. Moreover, Chu Nian was incredibly fast; it had only been a minute or two since she made her move.
Brother Chen and his fourth brother, who had been hiding behind their father, were both terrified and dared not move. Their parents went forward to pull Chen Nian away.
Chen's mother was still wailing, "Oh, Niannian, what are you doing? He's your second brother! You'll hurt him if you hit him like this!"
Chu Nian had had her fill of fighting, so she let them pull her away. After all, these two elders were the parents of this body, and she wouldn't lay a hand on them.
"Go back!" Chu Nian said coldly. "From now on, I will send two thousand yuan to your parents every month as living expenses as my support for my parents. That's all I can give you."
Two thousand yuan is enough for Chen Nian's parents to live on for a year in that small mountain village. They wanted to use this money to support the three brothers and more than a dozen people in the Chen family, which would be more than enough for a month.
Brother Chen mustered his courage and said, "Niannian, your nephews and the others need to come here to study. The school back home..."
Chu Nian glared at them with a sharp look, her gaze sweeping menacingly over the children. Her voice, like a ghost from hell, chuckled sinisterly, "Nephews! I remember now, you've always looked down on me for being a girl, saying I couldn't carry on the Chen family line..."
