Chapter 145 Do I Still Care About My Reputation?



Zhong Zheng looked at this group of people who were her relatives by blood, and the anger in her heart grew more and more. Although she didn't know why these people were so opposed to her and Jiang Ci, it was definitely not for her good.

She had seen through these people since she was a child, so she didn't believe at all the words they said were for her good.

"Please make it clear to me that I didn't marry him, but he married into my family. I don't need him to support me. Even if he can't make money, I can still support him anyway!"

Zhong Zheng's words infuriated the Zhong family. Old Mrs. Zhong pointed at Zhong Zheng and angrily scolded her, "You prodigal son! How much money do you have in your family that's worth wasting?"

Zhong Zheng ignored the angry old woman Zhong and said, "I didn't use your money anyway, why are you so anxious?"

"You...you are truly a heartless person!"

Zhong Zheng sneered, "You don't even have a conscience, so how can I have one?"

Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she slapped Mr. Zhong who was standing next to her: "Speak up! You are standing here like a mute! You still have the mood to stand here when a junior points at your nose and scolds you like that."

Old Master Zhong was so moved by Old Lady Zhong's action that he immediately joined the battlefield. He had a serious face and frowned, trying to scare Zhong Zheng away with this expression. After all, the younger generations in the family were afraid of his expression. However, Zhong Zheng was not easily frightened and was not intimidated by such an old master.

"Zheng girl, what you said is a bit too much. After all, she is your grandmother."

Zhong Zheng looked at Old Master Zhong who was speaking and snorted coldly, "Why do you know how to stop her now? Why did you pretend to be deaf and dumb when she insulted us mother and daughter so much before? If you didn't care then, don't bother now."

Old Master Zhong was so angry at Zhong Zheng's outrageous remarks that his body was shaking. It had been many years since he had been scolded by someone, and this person was his granddaughter. It was really outrageous. No wonder the old woman disliked the mother and daughter.

"What you said is simply outrageous."

Zhong Zheng's heart remained calm. "I just told you the truth, and you think I'm being treacherous. Do you also think I went too far, or are you just looking for an excuse to scold me?"

Seeing that the fight was getting so intense and that it looked like they were about to start, Aunt Zhong quickly stopped them, saying, "Zheng girl, you should also keep your words to yourself. If others find out, it won't be good for your reputation."

Zhong Zheng sneered, "Why should I care about my reputation? Hasn't my reputation been ruined by you relatives a long time ago? I don't rely on my reputation to make a living."

After wasting so much time with these people, Zhong Zheng was already impatient. "Alright! That's all for today. Remember to have a meal with us later."

Zhong Zheng really didn't want to invite these people to her wedding, but if she didn't, it would cause even more trouble. She might as well just have them over for a meal. Hadn't they taken advantage of her family enough over the years? She didn't care about this one meal.

Mrs. Zhong roared angrily, "No, none of us will go. If you dare to marry this second-rate guy, I will pretend that you are no longer my granddaughter."

Zhong Zheng shrugged. "I'd love to hear that. I don't care if you guys come or not. I'm going to get married anyway."

After saying this, Zhong Zheng picked up the things Jiang Ci had placed on the table and said, "Since you look down on Jiang Ci so much, then don't take the things he gave you."

Mrs. Zhong looked at the big red apple and her mouth watered uncontrollably. Fruits were so scarce these days! Not to mention this apple that looked so delicious.

I don't know where this scoundrel got the apple from, it looks delicious. And that bag of peach cakes costs 97 cents at the supply and marketing cooperative, which is more expensive than a pound of meat.

Old Mrs. Zhong really wanted to ask Zhong Zheng to put these things down, but thinking about the quarrel she had just had with Zhong Zheng, she was too stubborn to say anything.

Mrs. Zhong was tough, but her little grandson was not so tough. Seeing that the red apple was about to be taken away, he immediately rolled on the ground and cried: "Grandma! I want to eat the apple, I want to eat, I want to eat, wah wah wah!"

When Mrs. Zhong heard the crying of her little grandson, her already irritable heart suddenly caught fire like a match lighting hay.

She didn't care that the child rolling on the ground and crying was her favorite grandson. She was so angry that she didn't like everyone.

Old Mrs. Zhong, having lost her mind, picked up the broom beside her and hit her grandson who was crying on the ground, cursing: "I told you not to yell nonsense, do we need food or drink at home? You are rolling around here, making such a scene, who are you trying to show to?"

The child rolled on the ground after being beaten. He was just pretending to cry, but now he was really crying: "Wuwuwu... Grandma, please don't hit me... Wuwuwuwu... I don't want to eat anymore."

When Aunt Zhong saw her little son being treated like this, she immediately couldn't stand it anymore and hurried forward to stop Old Lady Zhong's broom: "Mom, Chong'er is still young. If you hit him like this, he will be hurt."

Old Mrs. Zhong was caught by the end of the broom by her third daughter-in-law, which prevented her from hitting people, but she had not yet vented her anger.

So, Mrs. Zhong, who had not yet vented her anger, spat directly on Aunt Zhong San's face: "Bah! I think it was you, a useless bitch, who taught my grandson to be like this. Otherwise, how could the child of our Zhong family be so disgraced.

Aunt Zhong San didn't expect that Old Lady Zhong would spit on her face. She was furious. You know, Old Lady Zhong didn't brush her teeth once a month, so the dirt on her teeth could be picked off with her hands.

If she had just been slapped or hit a few times, Aunt Zhong San wouldn't have been so angry. This kind of thing was really too disgusting.

Furious, Auntie Zhong grabbed Old Lady Zhong's clothes and said, "You old thing, you dare to spit in my face, you old fool!"

Old Mrs. Zhong was not to be outdone. After hearing what Third Aunt Zhong said, she spat at her and became even more aggressive: "You are trying to rebel! You even dared to hit your mother-in-law. Third Aunt Zhong, you are such a heartless thing, just standing there and watching! I really raised you in vain!"

Zhong Zheng watched the Zhong family's farce from the sidelines, her brow furrowed. Could she now sever ties with this family? Completely cut off contact, especially with this old lady who was nominally her grandmother. Her actions were truly eye-opening for Zhong Zheng.
