Chapter 231 They Moved Their Feet
Song Xingzhi ignored the stares of these people and began to plan what to do next.
Zhong Chengren's death means that Zhang Chunxue and the others can continue running their stall.
Song Xingzhi didn't plan to stay in the brigade any longer. He wanted to find a way to transfer to the county so that he could come back with Zhang Chunxue every day and wouldn't have to wait until he got off work from the brigade to go to the county.
Wasting time.
He wouldn't mind using some of his family's resources for this kind of thing.
After all, he had already used his connections to stay in the brigade as a clerk.
After spending the night in Zhongjia Village, at daybreak, Zhong Aiguo organized several strong laborers to go to the county.
Zhong Chengfa naturally wanted to go, and before he left, he pushed Zhong Hongqing in front of Song Xingzhi.
"Dad, please keep an eye on Hongqing..."
Zhong Hongqing looked at Song Xingzhi with some timidity.
Song Xingzhi looked at the three-and-a-half-year-old child.
Zhong Hongqing gripped the hem of his clothes tightly with his fingers and gave Song Xingzhi a fawning smile.
Song Xingzhi knew that his sister Chunxue disliked Zhong Hongqing. Although he didn't know why, since his sister Chunxue disliked him, he naturally disliked him too.
He nodded calmly: "Go ahead! I'll take good care of the child."
Zhong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and immediately instructed Zhong Hongqing, "You just sit quietly next to Grandpa and don't run around, okay?"
Zhong Hongqing nodded obediently.
Zhong Chengfa then left.
Zhong Hongqing wanted to talk to Song Xingzhi, but Song Xingzhi just sat in the chair with his eyes closed, looking as if he were asleep.
But every time he moved, Song Xingzhi would make a "hmm?" sound, and Zhong Hongqing could only obediently sit down.
However, the three-and-a-half-year-old child couldn't sit still for long, and Zhong Hongqing soon became a little irritable.
He stood up and said softly, "Grandpa, I... I'll go back inside, okay?"
He felt immense pressure sitting next to Song Xingzhi.
Song Xingzhi opened his eyes and glanced at him, then after a long pause, he said, "Go!"
This child always gives him the feeling that he's trying to be clever.
Actually, the whole courtyard is full of people right now. The mourning tent was set up last night, and everyone is busy with the funeral arrangements.
Zhong Hongqing dashed into the house and hid under the window to secretly observe Song Xingzhi.
But after watching for a short while, Song Xingzhi stood up and strode towards the courtyard gate.
Zhang Chunxue has arrived.
When Zhang Chunxue arrived, everyone in the courtyard cast sympathetic glances at her.
Zhang Chunxue remained unmoved.
After all, she had received many such gazes since she first arrived in the village.
She even met Zhong Jingui.
Zhong Jingui just returned to Zhongjia Village today. She had wanted to come back for a long time, but she thought it was bad luck because of Zhong Chengyi's funeral, so she kept putting it off until today.
But to her surprise, as soon as she returned, she heard that Zhong Chengfa had also died.
She immediately returned to her parents' home, changed into a brightly colored outfit, and deliberately waited at the door for Zhang Chunxue to pass by.
When she saw Zhang Chunxue coming from afar, she immediately shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Some people are just so unlucky! They lose two sons at once!"
The neighbors all frowned as they looked at her.
Zhong Jingui ignored them and continued to shout, "This is probably because I've done too many bad things!"
Zhang Chunxue did not stop walking, nor did her face show the slightest ripple.
Seeing her like this, Zhong Jingui felt even more upset and couldn't help but shout again, "Hey! Zhang Chunxue, I heard your third son died and you didn't cry. Now that your second son has died, aren't you going to cry?"
Zhou Mingli, who was following behind Zhang Chunxue, couldn't help but show a hint of anger on her face. She stepped forward, wanting to argue with Zhong Jingui.
Zhang Chunxue pulled Zhou Mingli aside, her tone indifferent: "Why bother arguing with a dog?"
Zhong Jingui was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged, but Zhang Chunxue didn't even lift her eyelids.
If a dog barks by the roadside, are you going to bark back at it?
Zhou Mingli couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Zhong Jingui's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
What the hell does Zhang Chunxue mean by this?!
She was clearly calling herself a dog!
Zhong Jingui couldn't help but scream: "Zhang Chunxue! What do you mean?!"
Zhang Chunxue finally glanced at her sideways: "What do you mean? My daughter and I were discussing dogs, why are you jumping in and yelling?"
"Could it be that you actually took it personally?" She looked Zhong Jingui up and down. "This is the first time I've ever seen someone like you who doesn't act like a human being but like a dog."
Zhong Jingui trembled with rage and couldn't help but shout, "Zhang Chunxue! You're a worthless woman! You're a jinx to your husband and children! The death of your two sons is your retribution!"
Zhang Chunxue's face immediately darkened: "Zhong Jingui, you think my life is cheap? Your mouth is probably even more cheap!"
She stepped forward, staring intently at Zhong Jingui: "You can't utter a single human word; you're always spreading rumors and gossip..."
Zhong Jingui was intimidated by her imposing manner and took a step back, but still remained defiant: "You, you, you... do you still want to hit me?"
Zhang Chunxue sneered: "Use my hands? I'm afraid of dirtying them!"
However, the next second, she suddenly raised her foot and kicked Zhong Jingui in the stomach.
Zhong Jingui cried out in pain, staggered and fell to the ground, curling up in a ball.
“You, you, you…” she pointed at Zhang Chunxue.
Zhang Chunxue stepped on her thigh and rubbed against it before saying calmly, "So I still think it's better to use my feet."
Zhou Mingli was dumbfounded.
So, Mom didn't want me to do it because she wanted to do it herself...
Zhong Jingui finally managed to get up and immediately revealed her fierce nature, wanting to tear Zhang Chunxue apart.
However, the neighbors had already realized what was happening and quickly pulled Zhong Jingui away.
"No! Jin Gui! Please have some understanding for Chun Xue! She's heartbroken right now!"
"That's right! Besides, you were the one who started it with your foul mouth, so you deserved to get beaten up!"
"Exactly! It's only because Chunxue has a good temper that she's like this. If it were me, I would have torn your mouth to shreds!"
Zhong Jingui was so angry she almost fainted: "You...you..."
"I'm a member of the Zhong family, why are you siding with outsiders?!"
An older woman looked indignant: "What do you mean by 'outsider'? Chunxue has been married into our Zhongjia Village for over twenty years, what do you mean by 'outsider'?"
"Exactly! Besides, we're on the side of reason, not personal connections!"
"What you just said was disgusting! How could you stab someone in the heart like that!"
"Pah! I despise people like you!"
An older woman also grabbed Zhang Chunxue's hand: "Chunxue, you should go back quickly! Don't mind this shrew!"
Zhang Chunxue nodded gently: "Okay, thank you everyone!"
Without a second thought, she abandoned the cursing Zhong Jingui and left with Zhou Mingli and the others.
