Chapter 83 How about we find a husband to marry into the family?
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoxiao was both surprised and delighted: "Mom, you're not going to separate me from the family?"
Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but laugh: "You're not like your three useless brothers, why would I separate you out?"
"Besides, you're not even an adult yet, you're still in school! How could we possibly separate you out?"
She rinsed the rice, wiped her wet hands on her body, and then reached out to touch Zhong Xiaoxiao's head: "Don't even mention now, if I could, I would like you to marry into the family, so that you won't be bullied after you get married."
The fact that Zhong Xiaoxiao was killed by domestic violence in her previous life left Zhang Chunxue with a strong psychological trauma. If it weren't for the fact that she had no other choice, she would have even thought that Zhong Xiaoxiao should have just never gotten married.
She must make a lot of money to take good care of her.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately welled up with tears: "Mom, I'll listen to you. I'll find a man to marry into my family."
Zhong Chengren reached out and nudged Zhong Chengfa: "Big brother, do you see that? That's the difference!"
"We're nothing in Mom's heart, not even worth a hair on Xiaoxiao's head!"
Zhong Chengfa touched his head: "Is it alright?"
"At least he's still a good-for-nothing son in his mother's eyes."
Zhong Chengren couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Just as lunch was almost ready, Zhong Chengyi returned.
He hummed a song all the way, thoroughly enjoying himself.
He made a lot of money today, his wallet has been bulging lately, and he's in a great mood.
Walking into the kitchen, he saw Zhong Chengren there and greeted him warmly.
"Hey, second brother, you've finally decided to come back?"
Zhong Chengren gave an awkward laugh, then put on a serious face: "I'm not home because I have something important to do!"
"You're making it sound like I'm never home."
Zhong Chengyi still had a grin on his face: "Isn't that right?"
Zhong Chengren rolled his eyes at him.
However, thinking about what his mother was about to say and the possible reaction of Zhong Chengyi, Zhong Chengren couldn't help but feel schadenfreude.
"Third son, you don't know yet, do you? Mom is going to announce something big in a little while."
Zhong Chengyi's curiosity was immediately piqued: "What's the big deal?"
He suddenly looked at Zhong Chengfa: "Could it be that my brother and sister-in-law have finally divorced?"
Zhong Chengfa's face darkened: "Just get to the point, why are you dragging me into this?"
He glanced at Zhang Chunxue cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she wasn't angry.
Zhang Chunxue brought all the food to the table and said calmly, "Let's eat!"
Zhong Chengyi was the first to sit down at the table, his face full of gossip: "Mom, what's going on?"
His eyes darted around: "Second Brother said something big has happened, but it has nothing to do with Eldest Brother..."
"Could it be that you, Mom..." He winked at Zhang Chunxue, "Mom, are you planning to remarry?"
After all, he had heard a lot of gossip in the village these past two days, all saying that Zhang Chunxue was going to remarry, and that her new husband was very likely to be Song Xingzhi.
Seeing that Zhang Chunxue did not deny it, Zhong Chengyi thought he had guessed correctly, and his tone became even more excited.
"Mom, could it really be Clerk Song?"
“I might disagree with anyone else, but I can agree with Secretary Song.”
"Mom, if you really marry him, we'll have another stepfather who's an official! Maybe he can even take us to the capital for a trip!"
Looking at him, Zhang Chunxue couldn't help but recall the scene from a few years ago when he sat on the ground, crying and wailing, saying that he would never allow her to remarry.
Zhang Chunxue immediately snorted coldly: "You wish! You only think about good things, don't you?"
Her tone softened: "There is indeed something important happening today."
Seeing that Zhang Chunxue's expression had become serious, and it didn't seem like she was going to talk about remarriage, Zhong Chengyi subconsciously straightened up as well.
"First of all, I want to talk about the second son's desire to divorce Mingli."
Zhong Chengyi's eyes widened: "What? It's one thing for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to divorce, but the second brother also wants to divorce his sister-in-law?"
He subconsciously assumed that Zhang Chunxue had forced him to do this, and wanted to ask his mother if she thought the family had too much money, which was why she wanted to change the wives of his older brothers.
Zhong Chengfa felt aggrieved.
He wanted to say that he didn't want a divorce at all, but he didn't dare to jump out and anger his mother in front of her.
Zhang Chunxue didn't care at all what her sons were thinking, and continued speaking slowly and deliberately: "I do not agree to their divorce."
Zhong Xiaoxiao suddenly looked up at Zhang Chunxue.
Huh? That's not what her mom said last night.
Didn't everyone already make her call her "sister"?
However, there must be a reason why her mother said that, and Zhong Xiaoxiao would not contradict her mother.
Zhang Chunxue didn't even lift her eyelids: "But your second brother insists on getting a divorce."
“I think he’s getting old and has become too independent, so we might as well separate.”
"Anyway, the eldest brother doesn't seem to care about what his mother said."
Zhong Chengfa and Zhong Chengren were both feeling very guilty.
Zhong Chengyi panicked: "Mom! It's their problem if they don't listen to you, I'm innocent!"
"I disagree with separating the family!"
“Oh,” Zhang Chunxue replied casually, “Your eldest and second eldest brothers both agree, so you should go and persuade them first.”
She looked at Zhong Chengyi with a half-smile: "I'll give you one day. I need the results by tomorrow morning."
"If you can't convince them, tomorrow, after Mingli and the second son get divorced, I'll ask the village chief and the elders of your Zhong family to come and divide the family property."
"Let's eat now!"
Zhong Chengyi found this meal extremely difficult to eat.
He had genuinely thought he would have a stepfather who was an official, but he never expected that not only would he not have a stepfather, but his family was also on the verge of collapse.
So as soon as he finished eating, he pulled his two older brothers into the yard and immediately began to question them.
"What's going on between you two? Why are you splitting up?"
"If you want to separate the family, how heartbroken I will be!"
Zhong Chengren's lips twitched: "Didn't you notice that it was Mom who brought up the idea of separating the family?"
"So what?" Zhong Chengyi retorted confidently, "She must have been upset by the two of you!"
"She just said it casually, and you two actually agreed? Wouldn't Mom be even angrier?"
Zhong Chengren immediately muttered, "I don't think Mom is that angry... I feel like she's just hoping to use this opportunity to get rid of the three of us..."
"Third brother, you don't know, Mom said she wouldn't tell us, but she just separated the three of us."
Zhong Chengyi rolled his eyes: "Isn't that obvious? How old is Xiaoxiao anyway?"
Seeing that his two older brothers remained silent, he couldn't help but speak again: "You two are married, you've separated from the family and have your own lives, but I'm still a bachelor! After separating from the family, I don't even have anyone to do my laundry and cook for me! What am I going to do?"
