Chapter 81 Throwing Dirty Water
Originally, Li Zhongguo and Zhang Yufang heard that Bai Zhenzhu had returned, so they thought of coming over to see her after dinner.
Unexpectedly, when passing by Li Zhonghua's house, he was seen by Feng Cui.
So four of them plus Li Fei from Li Zhonghua's family came together.
Except for a few children and Li Fei, everyone else was sitting around the fire, roasting watermelon seeds and eating them.
Because Feng Cui was there, Zhang Yufang was unable to ask about her two daughters' situation even though she originally wanted to.
Just smiled and said:
"We heard that Pearl had returned, so we came to see her."
White Pearl smiled and said:
"Aunt, we are fine."
Li Zhongguo said with concern:
"Why are you back at this time?"
There were only about ten days left until the Chinese New Year. He knew that Bai Zhenzhu's business was good, so everyone should come back together at the end of the year.
Bai Zhenzhu was about to speak when Feng Cui suddenly interrupted:
"Pearl, I heard that the red car parked in front of the village chief's house is yours?"
Bai Zhenzhu: "Yes, I drove it back."
Feng Cui's eyes widened:
"That car doesn't look cheap. How can you possibly afford a car like that?"
"Pearl, you can't rely on your beauty to do something dishonorable outside."
"Because of your divorce, we relatives are already embarrassed enough."
"If you spread more gossip, where will we put our dignity?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhonghua shouted:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Xiufen was sitting across from Li Zhonghua. She didn't say anything. She just stood up and grabbed Feng Cui's hair and slapped her hard in the face.
Feng Cui was stunned by the beating.
Although the two families often quarreled in the past, they never came to blows.
Li Xiufen actually dared to hit her!
Not only did Li Xiufen dare to do so, she also wanted to continue fighting.
Before Feng Cui could react, he slapped her again.
Feng Cui screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Others couldn't sit still either.
Zhang Yufang subconsciously hugged Feng Cui's waist to prevent her from rushing over and hitting Li Xiufen.
Li Xiufen pointed at Feng Cui's nose and cursed:
"What kind of elder are you!"
"When has the child come back without your filial respect? What about you? You are her aunt, and you throw dirty water on her."
"Feng Cui!"
"You stinky woman with sores on your head and pus on your feet, I, Li Xiufen, will no longer recognize you as my second sister-in-law from today on, get out of here!"
"If you dare to come to my house again, I will beat you to death!"
Feng Cui was so angry that she was about to explode:
"Li Xiufen, you dare to hit me?"
"Why do you hit me?"
"Did I say something wrong? Your family is extremely poor. If Bai Zhenzhu hadn't gotten some money from the divorce, would your family have been able to turn things around?"
"That car must cost tens of thousands. If she hadn't sold it, how could she have that much money to buy a car..."
"Pa!" Another heavy slap hit Feng Cui's face.
The slap was given by Li Zhonghua.
He simply couldn't believe that his wife would say that about Bai Zhenzhu.
That's his niece!
Before anyone else said anything, his aunt threw dirty water on him right in front of him. How could he face his sister's family?
Feng Cui struggled violently:
"You are so good, Li Zhonghua, you hit me too."
"Did I say something wrong?"
"You defend her so much, will she recognize you as her second uncle? Will she remember you if there is any benefit?"
"Think about the two girls in my eldest brother's family. Where did they go?"
"They are secretly communicating with you behind your back, and they don't even take you, their second uncle, seriously."
"Zhang Yufang, let me go. I want to fight you!"
Zhang Yufang pushed Feng Cui out of the house.
Bai Chenglei stood in front of Bai Zhenzhu, his eyes red with anger:
"You are slandering me!"
"Our Pearl is innocent. She earned the car with her own ability."
Li Xiufen's eyes were red with anger:
"Feng Cui, get out of here!"
Feng Cui lay in the yard and cried loudly.
Li Fei, who was watching TV, rushed out and asked what happened.
Feng Cui pointed at Li Xiufen:
"Your father and your aunt beat me."
"Son, Mom can't live any longer. I'm old and still being slapped. I won't live any longer."
As he said this, he got up again and ran towards the pond.
The weir pond in the village is a reservoir, which is used for irrigation.
This is also Feng Cui's usual trick. She likes to jump into the pond when she quarrels with others.
Li Fei quickly hugged his mother around the waist, confused:
"What happened?"
"Dad, why did you hit my mom?"
Li Zhonghua squatted on the ground and said in a muffled voice:
"She deserves to be beaten."
The relationship between the two families was already tense. If I had known, I shouldn't have come here tonight. ×
Li Zhongguo was also very angry:
"Feng Cui, you should control your mouth."
"Last time, the village chief warned you for badmouthing Pearl. I didn't expect you to be so unrepentant that you are now throwing dirty water on Pearl."
"You're her aunt, is there anyone like you?"
Feng Cui pointed at Li Zhongguo and Zhang Yufang:
"Of course you help them."
"They gave you the land to cultivate, and took Yuerong and Yueshu out with them as well."
"Don't think I don't know unless you tell me. I'm not a fool."
"They were the first to be unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust."
Zhang Yufang: "Then tell me, we are both uncles, why is there such a big difference? You spread gossip about Zhenzhu in the village every day, why should she be nice to you?"
Feng Cui then brought up the issue of the homestead again.
"That's enough."
Bai Zhenzhu took a deep breath and glanced at Li Zhonghua:
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to recognize you, please don't blame your niece."
Li Zhonghua nodded:
"Second uncle doesn't blame you, Zhenzhu, it's Second uncle who is useless."
Bai Zhenzhu's face was cold.
Every household has its own problems. Anyway, their family is going to move to the city, and they don’t have to see the people they don’t want to see often.
She looked at Feng Cui and said coldly:
"Even if I become rich in the future and have more money than I can spend, I won't spend a single cent on you."
"I didn't show my filial respect to you before. I called you Second Aunt because of my Second Uncle."
"From now on, don't even think about getting a single candy from our house."
Feng Cui was furious:
"Bai Zhenzhu you..."
Li Fei's expression changed and he let go of his mother:
"Sister Pearl, my mother is like this, you..."
Old Man Bai shouted loudly:
"Second brother, let's go."
Li Zhonghua was too embarrassed to stay and went up to drag Feng Cui away.
After the family of three left, Bai Zhenzhu called Li Zhongguo and Zhang Yufang:
"Uncle and aunt, let's go inside and warm ourselves by the fire."
"Aunt, I haven't had a good talk with you in a long time. When will Xiaojun have a holiday?"
Zhang Yufang: "Xiaojun, he might not come back until the Chinese New Year. He said he would be participating in some activities at school, but we don't know."
Then the family went back to the house to warm themselves by the fire, while the children continued to watch TV.
Zhang Yufang patted Bai Zhenzhu's hand:
"Don't take Feng Cui's words to heart. We know you are capable."
Li Zhongguo also said:
"Feng Cui was publicly reprimanded by the village chief for her gossiping last time, and she has restrained herself a lot recently."
Zhang Yufang sneered:
"She just can't stand seeing others do well. Don't worry, Zhenzhu, if she dares to throw dirty water on you in the village, your uncle and I will not let her off."
Zhang Yufang also had a bad relationship with Feng Cui, and she had long wanted to break up with Feng Cui.
Li Zhongguo has always felt that he is the eldest brother, and now that his parents are gone, it is his responsibility to maintain the relationship between his three siblings.
Just now, Bai Zhenzhu really wanted to tell Feng Cui where Li Yuerong and Li Yueshu had gone to in order to make her angry to death.
But thinking that after their family passed away, my uncle and his wife would have a grudge against Feng Cui in the future.
That's why I held back and didn't say anything.
