Chapter 183 You still dare to talk back?
Zhang Chunxue scoffed lightly: "They certainly know how to find people."
She glanced at Zhong Hongqing, who was completely dumbfounded, and said, "Want to eat more? If you want to eat, then eat quickly. If you don't want to eat, then go back with your dad."
Zhong Hongqing felt extremely distressed.
How come his father found him so quickly?
He was hoping to stay with his grandmother for a few more days, and ideally, he could persuade her to let him stay...
But there's nothing he can do now, so he can only shovel mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, trying to at least fill his stomach!
At the entrance to the courtyard, Li Hongjuan stood with a somber face: "They're just going to make us wait here?"
"They won't even let us come in and have a seat?"
"It's pouring rain here!"
Her voice was shrill, and it was unclear whether she was intentionally trying to make sure the people in the kitchen could hear her.
Zhong Chengfa was already feeling a bit green on the head when he heard this, and he immediately got angry again: "What do you want now? You lost the child, and the child came to his mother on his own. What more do you want?"
Zhong Chengyi chimed in with a mocking smile: "Oh ho, even my own son couldn't get a seat at my mom's place, and you, the daughter-in-law my mom dislikes so much she wants to divorce... who do you think you are!"
"You want my mom to invite you in? How dare you!"
Li Hongjuan's face also turned somewhat green, but she still didn't forget to sow discord between Zhong Chengfa and Zhang Chunxue.
"I can tolerate this, but you two are their own sons, and they won't even let you in to take shelter from the rain?"
"Especially your own mother, she doesn't even show her face once..."
Zhong Chengfa found her increasingly annoying, so he simply turned his head away and ignored her.
Li Hongjuan then turned her anger towards Zhong Chengyi: "And you, the third brother, you're not even married yet! And this is how your mother treats you..."
Zhong Chengyi gave a warm smile: "Sister-in-law, just because I call you sister-in-law doesn't mean I can let you talk nonsense... In my family, I can fight with my older brothers, so what are you?"
"I don't have a good habit of not hitting women!"
He narrowed his eyes: "I'm only here to help find him today because Hongqing is my nephew, but that doesn't mean I can let you lecture me like this... Do you understand?"
Zhong Chengyi's eyes looked a little frightening in the dark, rainy night, and Li Hongjuan's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking back to when this younger brother-in-law was young, he followed those people to vandalize and burn things, and I heard he even drove someone to their death...
She quickly turned her head to the side, not daring to say another word.
Even though Zhong Hongqing didn't want to go back, he still finished his meal, no matter how slowly he ate it.
Zhang Chunxue didn't urge him.
Anyway, the longer he took to eat, the longer the three of them were left outside in the rain.
After Zhong Hongqing licked the bowl clean, Zhang Chunxue looked at Zhou Mingli and said, "Mingli, you should send Zhong Hongqing away!"
“Okay!” Zhou Mingli led Zhong Hongqing outside.
However, because Zhong Hongqing's clothes were too big, he had to tug at them every few steps, so Zhou Mingli simply picked him up and carried him out of the kitchen.
As soon as the two came out, Zhong Chengfa and Li Hongjuan immediately ran over.
"My Hongqing!" Li Hongjuan burst into tears, "You've worried your mother to death!"
While crying, she glared at Zhou Mingli. As soon as she ran over, she snatched Zhong Hongqing from Zhou Mingli's arms, completely disregarding that her umbrella was tilted and the rain was soaking Zhong Hongqing.
She checked Zhong Hongqing, then immediately looked up and demanded of Zhou Mingli in a shrill voice, "Where are my Hongqing's clothes? Give them back to me!"
She glared at Zhou Mingli menacingly: "You don't mean to keep my son's clothes for your good-for-nothing daughter, do you?!"
Zhou Mingli was almost amused by her: "Li Hongjuan, your son came to our house completely soaked. Can't you at least give him a change of clothes? According to you, shouldn't you take off your son's clothes and give them back to us?"
Li Hongjuan's eyes flickered.
When she hugged Zhong Hongqing just now, she glanced at him under the kitchen light. His clothes were a bit too big, but there wasn't a single patch on them...
She couldn't bear to return it to Zhou Mingli!
She immediately questioned Zhou Mingli: "You woman, how can you be so vicious! It's so cold today, and you made my son take off his clothes. Did you want him to get sick?!"
Zhou Mingli rolled her eyes at her and said, "You're sick!"
Li Hongjuan never expected that Zhou Mingli, who used to be so timid and never dared to talk back to her, would dare to curse her. She was so angry that she jumped up and down, shouting, "Zhou Mingli, you little bitch..."
"Who are you cursing!" Zhang Chunxue walked out of the kitchen with a stern face, her cold gaze piercing Li Hongjuan. "You came to my house and cursed my family?"
"Li Hongjuan, are you tired of living?"
Li Hongjuan only realized what was happening at this moment and couldn't help but shrink back.
When Zhong Chengfa saw his mother come out, he quickly stepped forward, his face full of apologies: "Mom, what brings Hongqing here..."
Zhang Chunxue's face grew even more sinister and gloomy: "What, are you trying to say that I went out in the pouring rain and brought your son to my house?"
Her voice grew increasingly cold: "Zhong Chengfa, your wife came to my house and started cursing my daughter, and you're questioning whether I'm a human trafficker who kidnapped your son?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chengfa was stunned: "No, Mom, that's not what I meant..."
"I just... I'm just expressing my feelings..."
"Oh?" Zhang Chunxue's expression remained unchanged. "So when your wife was scolding my daughter, you were just watching?"
Zhong Chengfa felt a chill run down his spine: "I... I didn't even have time to say anything..."
Song Xingzhi was in the kitchen, listening to his sister Chunxue's rambling and unreasonable behavior, and he found it all incredibly cute.
Zhong Chengyi also came over at this moment, his face full of smiles: "Mom, my brother is just praising his nephew for being so clever. He managed to come looking for Grandma even after getting lost... This is probably the bond of blood ties!"
Zhang Chunxue immediately scoffed: "Blood ties? Zhong Chengyi, you've missed a word or two before you come here to show off! Now! Get out of here right now!"
Zhong Chengyi forced a smile and quickly pulled Zhong Chengfa along.
Zhong Chengfa's smile grew even more bitter: "Alright, alright, we'll be going now..."
Li Hongjuan stood to the side with her head down, not daring to say a word.
Just as they turned to leave, Zhang Chunxue spoke up again: "Wait!"
The three of them froze simultaneously.
Zhang Chunxue looked at Zhong Chengyi and said, "Third brother!"
Zhong Chengyi's eyes lit up immediately: "Mom, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Chunxue gave a warm smile: "I just heard someone say that our Mingli wants so-and-so's clothes... We don't want anyone's, and we don't plan to let anyone want ours."
"So, have your older brother wash this outfit Zhong Hongqing is wearing and bring it to me tomorrow, understand?"
