Chapter 179 People from the bride's family have arrived.
Sun Hu wanted to fight again, but Xie Hongchao wouldn't stand for it. A lot of people came to watch the show at the Xie family's gate.
For Sun Hu, a son-in-law, to dare to cause such a scene at his mother-in-law's house, it's as if he doesn't respect his brother-in-law at all.
If he doesn't say a word, who in this village will still consider him a human being?
So Xie Hongchao immediately went up and shoved Sun Hu, "What are you doing?"
"Does he really think he's something special?" Xie Hongchao thought, seeing that this guy was acting all high and mighty on his own turf.
Other members of the Xie family, out of consideration for their relationship, also spoke up to criticize Sun Hu, saying, "Lanlan's wife, this is where you're wrong. If there's anything between you two, you should talk it out behind closed doors."
"What I'm saying is, look how badly you beat Lanlan. Lanlan has been married into your family for so many years, and she hasn't enjoyed any happiness with you. Why are you hitting her?"
"..."
They took turns speaking, working together to besiege Sun Hu alone.
Looking at the shameless expressions on Xie Hongchao and his wife's faces, Sun Hu knew that the money was probably gone forever.
Sun Hu nodded at Xie Hongchao and his wife with a grim expression, repeatedly saying, "Okay, okay..."
Finally, he pointed at Xie Lanlan, his face suddenly turning red as he uttered a harsh threat: "If you don't want this money back, you can forget about ever setting foot in our house again."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking at the Xie family again.
Xie Lanlan "..."
"My husband, my husband..." she cried, trying to chase after him.
But Sun Hu turned around and warned her, "If you want to die, then come and get me."
Xie Lanlan hesitated on the spot for a moment.
Then she turned to look at her younger brother, Xie Hongchao, whose eyes immediately darted away.
When Xie Lanlan saw him like this, she ran up to him and said, "Hongchao, it's not that I want to complain to you, but you...you saw it too, Sun Hu...he's not human. If I can't get this money back, he...he's going to beat me to death!"
She cried pitifully, and Xie Hongchao also played the victim, saying, "You're asking me for money? Who am I supposed to ask for money from?"
Wei Guihua immediately put her hands on her hips and nudged Xie Lanlan with her chest, saying, "That's right, you're even crying now. Shouldn't you give money to save your own mother?"
"You started crying when I offered you two hundred. Why didn't I strangle you back then?"
What's the use of keeping you around?
"I can't afford to eat or drink anything from you, and you still have to ask me for this little bit of money."
"Why are you crying to us? Do you think we're suddenly rich?"
"Go ahead and go find that little bitch and yell at her if you dare!"
Everyone watching knew perfectly well who this little bitch was talking about.
Someone said, "I heard that Zhizhi is back. She drove back with her husband and was dressed very well. I heard she's like a completely different person."
The villages are not too far apart, and if people in the villages know each other, they can get the news quickly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Guihua pointed in the direction of Zhang Houtun and said, "Go look for her there!"
The onlookers started whispering again, "To be honest, Zhizhi is heartless. She was raised by Lanlan's family, but after finding rich and powerful parents, she not only doesn't repay her family, but she even arrested Lanlan's mother."
"Exactly! Heartless!"
Seeing others criticizing Zhizhi, Xie Lanlan burst into tears, "I'm not making this up. She lived with us all those years, and my mother supported her schooling and fed her. Without my mother, could she have grown up like this?"
"But then she turned around and said that we kidnapped her."
"They even extorted such a large sum of money from our family, how are we supposed to live like this?!"
Someone advised, "Lanlan, don't cry. Since she's not showing any mercy, there's no point in showing any mercy to you either. Go and tell everyone about this in Zhanghoutun so that they know what kind of person she is, otherwise she'll be too proud of herself."
"That's right, raising her has turned into hatred and resentment."
"Without your family, no matter how rich her biological parents were, she would have starved to death when she was a child."
"that is!"
Encouraged by these people, Xie Lanlan was indeed encouraged. She said to Wei Guihua and Xie Hongchao and his wife, "Why don't we go find her?"
"She's living a lavish life now, but I can't even afford to get through the New Year."
Not only did she feel she couldn't get through the New Year, but even Wei Guihua felt her family couldn't get through it.
They hit it off immediately and went to find Zhizhi.
Zhizhi isn't home right now; she's at Wu Caifeng's. Wu Caifeng steamed some buns yesterday and gave them to Zhizhi to try.
Zhizhi loves to eat tofu and vermicelli fillings, so Wu Caifeng made more dough and started steaming them again today.
Zhizhi went directly to her place.
Wu Caifeng steams a pot of buns, and Zhizhi can enjoy hot, freshly steamed buns.
Of course, it would be even better if Zhang Fenfen, that annoying person, weren't around.
Zhang Fenfen was afraid of being taken advantage of, so whenever Zhizhi appeared in Wu Caifeng's yard, she would immediately run over.
Zhizhi sat there eating steamed buns. For every one Zhizhi ate, she could eat two.
She was so full that she started burping.
She ate some, and even gave some to her son.
Once a pot of buns is cooked, there's hardly anything left after one batch.
Fortunately, Wu Caifeng had anticipated this situation and prepared a lot of filling, so she continued steaming the next batch as soon as one batch came out.
Just as it was steaming, shouts came from outside.
"This is bullying! There's no law anymore! They're not leaving us any way to survive!" Xie Lanlan and Wei Guihua started wailing as soon as they arrived at the entrance of Wen Zhizhi's courtyard.
Zhang Fenfen was stuffing steamed buns into her mouth when she heard the noise and immediately ran out of the yard, asking, "What happened?"
Zhizhi remained unmoved. It wasn't that she didn't like joining in the fun, but she was pregnant, and it was better to avoid certain kinds of excitement. If something unexpected happened in the countryside, it would be too late to regret it.
Zhang Fenfen ran out and then ran back excitedly. "Quick, sister-in-law, your family has come!" Her face was full of anticipation for a good show.
Looking at her expression and recalling the commotion she had just heard, Zhizhi knew who this woman's family member was.
Upon hearing this, Wu Caifeng quickly put the pot lid on. "Have people from my parents' family come?"
As she spoke, she wiped her hands on her apron and walked out of the kitchen.
Zhizhi calmly told her, "It must be the Xie family."
Coming out of the kitchen, I could hear the noises outside much more clearly.
Wu Caifeng also realized what was going on, and she glared at Zhang Fenfen, who was clearly watching the commotion, and asked, "Which of them is your sister-in-law's family?"
"Didn't I tell you that your sister-in-law was switched at birth by the Xie family?"
"But didn't I also think that they raised their younger siblings?" Zhang Fenfen said with a shameless face, determined to annoy Zhizhi.
“I don’t need her family to raise me; my family isn’t so poor that they can’t afford to raise me.”
As Zhizhi spoke, she stuffed the last bit of the bun into her mouth, got up and walked towards them. "I'll go take a look," she said to Wu Caifeng.
Wu Caifeng was worried, so she told Zhou Chan to watch the pot, and then she went over there herself.
Zhou Lin stayed at home in their courtyard.
So Zhou Lin had already come out, and he was frowning as he asked Xie Hongchao, "Here to cause trouble?"
Xie Hongchao immediately said, "Brother-in-law, look at what you're saying."
