Chapter 17 Xie Zhizhi, do you want to die?
"Exactly! Life is so good these days, what can't we do to live a good life?"
Some people started to scoff, "I think it's just laziness!"
Others said, "You can't be that lazy! Not only will you harm yourself, but you'll also harm your child. Not only will your child's food and clothing be inferior to others, but if the child follows suit, won't that ruin their life?"
Wei Guihua was so humiliated that she couldn't even lift her head.
After resting for a while, Xie Zhizhi felt her strength return and asked, "Should you carry the rest of the things out yourself, or should I continue?"
Wei Guihua squinted and looked through the crowd into the stairwell, but Xie Hongchao had gone to make a phone call and hadn't returned yet.
Xie Hongchao, who had run to make the phone call, was now yelling at Tian Fang through the receiver, "You knew she was coming to accompany the military, didn't you stop her?"
"Why did you bring her here?"
Do you know how embarrassing you were today?
"I don't care, you have to come and take her back."
"Come tomorrow morning and buy the earliest train ticket."
"Write a letter, write a letter, by the time the letter reaches me, the daylily will be too cold."
"I'm fed up. I don't know what those people who save a pittance can do all day long."
"Alright, I'm hanging up. Hurry up and find a way to get over here and take this bitch back."
After finishing the phone call, Xie Hongchao smoked a cigarette by the roadside before walking back, grumbling and cursing.
Inside the courtyard, Wei Guihua had already obediently started packing her things.
Because Xie Zhizhi really dares to throw things away.
She didn't dare gamble that Xie Zhizhi would be soft-hearted!
Although she packed slowly, seeing that she got started, Minister Shen, who had been "educating" her, still felt that she was teachable. "That's right!"
"You're so young, you can earn a living with your own hands and feet. Why do you have to be a bloodsucking leech on others? It's unambitious and makes you a laughing stock."
After Minister Shen finished "educating" Wei Guihua, he said to Xie Zhizhi earnestly, "She is still your sister-in-law and brother. She can change. You should still get along well with her in the future. Help your sister-in-law clean up."
Xie Zhizhi nodded repeatedly, looking like a good student.
Minister Shen saw that she was so thin that she looked like she could be blown away by a strong wind. She couldn't say anything else and even felt that those two sentences were too much.
Then he said to Wei Guihua, "Your sister-in-law lent you money, and you definitely can't spend it all in a month. Pay her back whatever you have left."
Xie Zhizhi raised her hand and rubbed her eyes desperately until they were red. She nodded pitifully, "Yes, I fainted the day before yesterday." She showed everyone the still fresh scar on her forehead, "I even bumped my head. The doctor said it was caused by malnutrition and not eating enough."
"hiss!"
Upon hearing this, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.
These elderly men and women probably never imagined that at this time, there would still be people going to the hospital because they didn't have enough to eat.
Looking at the fresh scar on Xie Zhizhi's forehead, and then at her emaciated figure, an old woman immediately started spitting and shouting, "You heartless wretch, pay back the money!"
"That's right, pay back the money! You two are perfectly capable, yet you're lazy and unwilling to work. You've let your own sister suffer from malnutrition and end up in the hospital. Are you animals reincarnated?"
Some people even suggested to Xie Zhizhi, "Make her pay back the money. If she doesn't pay back the money today, call the police and don't let them leave."
"They've been living in the house for free and don't want to pay back the money. Is there really such a good deal?"
"that is!"
Wen Jinzhou raised his hand. "I'll go find the nearest police station."
Wei Guihua, who had been slowly packing her things, panicked upon seeing this. She stopped packing and began shouting, "Where did the money come from?"
“That money was all hers,” she said, pointing to Xie Zhizhi, “for her nephew’s schooling. It’s all gone from the child’s schooling.”
At this point, Wei Guihua suddenly remembered something, and her panic subsided. She then spoke with confidence, "No, that's her son. The child is registered on her and her husband's household registration book and takes her husband's surname."
"My husband and I are babysitting for them for free, and we haven't asked them to pay us for our hard work!"
"And what about paying back the money?" Wei Guihua's expression immediately changed when she remembered the issue of Zhou Xie's household registration.
Just then, Xie Hongchao returned.
Xie Hongchao hadn't even run into the house; he started shouting in the hallway, "Who threw away the blankets and clothes?"
"Is Xie Zhizhi you?"
"Xie Zhizhi, do you want to die?"
"Do you believe I'll kill you?" Although Xie Hongchao knew that the blankets and clothes downstairs belonged to his family, he was still cursing and swearing, but he didn't pick up a single thing after coming up from downstairs.
Wen Jinzhou walked past him and had already reached the stairwell. He had originally said he was going to find the police, but upon seeing this, he immediately turned back.
Xie Hongchao was cursing and swearing when he passed by the older women. They immediately greeted him with insults, such as, "Why do you talk so rudely? Didn't you brush your teeth this morning?"
"That means she's your own sister. If you didn't know better, you'd think she was your enemy. I really don't know how your family raised her."
"Exactly, that's some serious malice."
"A sharp tongue brings no good fortune..."
The women chatted amongst themselves, pointing and gesturing at Xie Hongchao as if they wanted to point their fingers at his face.
Minister Shen stood with his hands behind his back, blocking the doorway, shouting, "Kill someone?"
"I'm standing right here today, let's see if you dare to lay a hand on me."
Xie Hongchao was already annoyed by the older women poking his face, and being blocked by Minister Shen made him even more annoyed. "Uncle Shen, what's it to you?"
Do you know Xie Zhizhi?
He had heard his mother say that Xie Zhizhi's biological parents were from the city and were wealthy and powerful, and that Xie Zhizhi might be the daughter of Minister Shen.
But... not only do their ages not match, but this old man Shen and Xie Zhizhi don't look alike at all!
Minister Shen raised his thick eyebrows. "Just because we don't know you doesn't mean we can just watch you bully people?"
"What do you think this place is?"
"This is the new China, a place we all worked hard to build. You try throwing a tantrum and see what happens?"
Minister Shen became more and more agitated as he spoke, and his eyes unconsciously gained a sharp edge, making Xie Hongchao feel like a deflated balloon.
"I...I didn't really mean to hit her, I just..." He suddenly pointed downstairs, "Those things downstairs were thrown by Xie Zhizhi, right?"
"Does she mean it when she does this?"
Xie Zhizhi stood behind Minister Shen, arms crossed, not feeling guilty at all. "I told your wife to clean it up, but she wouldn't. She threw a tantrum at me, so I did it for her."
Xie Zhizhi gestured with her hand, "You can go down and clean up now, instead of standing here yelling at me."
Xie Hongchao was speechless after being rebuked by her. He wanted to get angry, but there was Grandpa Shen blocking his way in front of him, a lot of old ladies blocking his way behind him, and Wen Jinzhou standing outside the crowd, ready to knock him down at any moment.
Xie Hongchao: Fuck him, fuck him...
After cursing inwardly for a long time, his eyes practically bulging with anger, Xie Hongchao finally managed to find his voice again, "Zhizhi, it's not that your older brother doesn't want to move, but look, Xiaoxie is still studying here..."
