Chapter 5: They still want to take my bicycle away?
Sun Xiaoliang curled up on the ground, and when he met her cold gaze, he immediately hugged his head even tighter.
Xie Lanlan then realized what was happening and rushed over to protect her son.
She threw herself on her son, protecting him, and glared angrily at Xie Zhizhi, "Are you crazy?"
Xie Zhizhi sneered, "You may be crazy, but I'm not."
"You...you..." Xie Lanlan looked at her cold eyes, pointed at her and kept saying "you" for a long time, but couldn't get the word out.
Since this was Zhou's territory, she knew that even if she brought someone to settle accounts, she wouldn't stand a chance. So she stared at Xie Zhizhi and said in a sinister tone, "Fine, Xie Zhizhi, you're ruthless."
She helped her son up, her eyes filled with intense hatred as she looked at the bloody marks on his face. "You just wait, I'm going to find Mom right now, you just wait."
The original owner was afraid that Tian Fang, her mother, no longer liked her.
But Xie Zhizhi isn't afraid now. "Don't even mention looking for your mother, I'm not afraid even if you go to the underworld to find your ancestors."
After saying that, she looked at the mother and son who were about to enter her yard to push the brand-new bicycle, and called out to them, "What?"
"You want to take my bicycle?"
"You said you could borrow it, what? You really think it's your own?"
Xie Lanlan turned around in disbelief, "You..."
Xie Zhizhi lightly patted the half-baked bamboo strip in her palm. "What?"
Did I say something wrong?
"The bicycle is yours now?"
Hearing her sarcastic words, Xie Lanlan looked at the bicycle, then at Wu Caifeng beside her, and helped her son, who was wiping away tears after being beaten. She gritted her teeth and turned around, saying, "Xiao Liang, let's go. Let's go find your grandma."
Xie Zhizhi clapped her hands with the bamboo stick, showing no fear whatsoever, but rather disdain, "I won't see you off any further!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Lanlan turned around and glared at her fiercely before helping her son walk away.
Now Wu Caifeng truly believed that Xie Zhizhi had thought things through.
"Daughter-in-law, are you alright?" Seeing that her daughter-in-law was clear-headed, Wu Caifeng immediately grabbed Xie Zhizhi's wrists to check if she was injured.
Seeing that Xie Zhizhi had regained her senses, Wu Caifeng affectionately called her daughter-in-law.
Xie Zhizhi readily allowed her to examine her, saying, "It's alright, Mom. I did it first, it's fine!"
Wu Caifeng fully approved of her preemptive action, saying, "The old saying 'strike first, win' is absolutely true."
"As long as it didn't touch you, it's fine."
Then he asked about her head, "What did the doctor say about your head?"
Is it serious?
Xie Zhizhi shook her head. "The doctor said it's unnecessary to go."
She started to ramble on, "But it wasn't all bad. The doctor used alcohol to rinse my wound, and it hurt like being slashed by a dull knife."
Wu Caifeng "..."
“This cost eighty cents,” Xie Zhizhi said, turning around and putting down the bicycle kickstand before continuing, “enough to buy a pound of meat.”
Wu Caifeng "..."
My daughter-in-law seems to have really changed, yet she also seems to have remained the same.
She's still as reluctant to be kind to herself as ever.
Wu Caifeng couldn't help but advise, "You're still young. You can earn back the money you spend. The most important thing is that you're safe."
"It makes the doctor feel at ease after seeing him."
Xie Zhizhi took out the money Wu Caifeng had lent her from her pocket, handed it to Wu Caifeng, and smiled apologetically, "Well, I am a little reluctant to part with it, but don't worry, Mom, I know where to save and where to spend."
"Here, take the money. You didn't need it."
Wu Caifeng looked at her head wrapped in gauze, "You can keep it!"
Even five yuan had to be borrowed; Wu Caifeng knew without Xie Zhizhi saying anything that Xie Zhizhi definitely didn't have many coins left.
So she doesn't intend to take the money.
Xie Zhizhi insisted on stuffing the money into her hand and said, "This five yuan isn't enough for me. Mom, please give me another thirty yuan later."
Wu Caifeng "..."
She even thought she had reformed as a daughter-in-law and stopped relying on her husband's family to unconditionally support her own family. Little did she know she was trying to gain a lot with a small investment!
Give her back five yuan, and then borrow another thirty yuan?
Do you really think she's stupid?
Wu Caifeng's expression immediately turned sour.
Seeing her mother-in-law's expression turn from sunny to cloudy, she guessed that she must have misunderstood something.
Xie Zhizhi quickly said, "Mom, to be honest, I really don't have any money on me."
"I only had one dollar and twenty-eight cents. I went to see a doctor and it cost eighty cents. Now I only have forty-eight cents left."
Wu Caifeng's face was still not good. She wanted to say: "You have no money, that's your own fault. Your husband sends you more than a hundred yuan a month, but you only have one yuan and twenty-eight cents. Who can you blame?"
You deserve it!
Wu Caifeng was so angry that her chest heaved.
Xie Zhizhi knew what the old lady was thinking and, fearing that she might get upset, quickly explained, "Mom, I used to be a fool, but this time I'm borrowing money for no other reason."
"I want to borrow this money for travel expenses so I can go find Zhou Lin."
"While you're at it, go to the provincial capital and get back the apartment that Zhou Lin's work unit allocated to him."
Wu Caifeng's heaving chest immediately calmed down. "Go find the second brother?"
Xie Zhizhi nodded very firmly, "Yes, I'm going to join the army!"
She has a house in the provincial capital and a rich man, so why doesn't she go and live a comfortable life? Instead, she stays in the countryside and is harassed by that bloodsucking family.
She's probably a bit silly.
As she spoke, she lowered her head again, revealing a section of her fair neck, and said shyly, "Zhou Lin and I have been married for two years, and we need to have a child." After she finished speaking, she bit her lip and looked shy.
Whether or not to have children is not important, the premise is that this big idiot can no longer be.
Otherwise, she would have to slap herself twice.
Upon hearing that her daughter-in-law was going to accompany the military to give birth to her grandson, Wu Caifeng immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Mom has money!"
"Mom will go and get you some money, fifty yuan."
The old lady turned to go back to her house as she spoke.
Xie Zhizhi quickly stopped her, "Mom, Mom..."
Wu Caifeng stopped.
Xie Zhizhi said, "Mom, let's take the bicycle back to Auntie's house first!"
"I'm going to find Zhou Lin, but I can't leave until tomorrow morning at the earliest. By now, there have been no buses going to the city."
Zhanghoutun Village is located in a remote area. To get to the provincial capital, one needs to take a bus to the city and then take a train.
Wu Caifeng slapped her forehead, "Right, right, look at my brain, it's all so muddled."
"Return the car first, return the car first..."
Wu Caifeng took the bicycle from Xie Zhizhi and pushed it wobbly, just like before.
Xie Zhizhi looked on worriedly and said, "Mom, why don't I go and return it?"
The old lady shook her head vigorously, "No, no, didn't you say you wanted to go find the second son?"
"Go pack your things."
"Then Mom, please be careful," Xie Zhizhi could only say.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Seeing that the old lady had pushed the cart to the door of Aunt Zhou's third wife, Xie Zhizhi turned around and went back to the yard.
The bicycles in the yard are almost as good as new, which shows that Xie Lanlan really cherishes them as if they were her own.
If she had known that the bicycle would be impounded today, it would have suffered terribly, and who knows what state it would be in now.
Thinking this, Xie Zhizhi pushed the brand-new bicycle into the house, a smile of undisguised satisfaction on her face.
She thought, the original owner's family never imagined that this servant of her own family would one day turn against her own family.
Hehe, it's okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to turn against each other in the future.
You'll get used to it eventually. (≧≦)
As soon as she parked the bicycle, Xie Zhizhi quickly and efficiently began packing her things.
She has to go to the military base first thing tomorrow morning.
She beat up Xie Lanlan and her son Sun Xiaoliang today, and the original owner's mother will not let her off the hook.
Xie Lanlan will go back and complain now, and by tomorrow at the latest, the original owner's mother will send someone to tell her to go back to her parents' home.
If she doesn't go back, her difficult mother from the original owner will definitely come looking for her herself.
The original owner's mother, Tian Fang, was no pushover.
Although Xie Zhizhi was not afraid of her, she was afraid that she would delay her debt collection progress.
