The first part seemed fine, but when she heard the second part, Aunt Zhou stopped and her expression changed immediately!
After realizing what was happening, she burst into a tirade, "Why should I take her back and raise her! Bah! She's not even a member of the Zhou family. You think I'll raise her for free? No way! The Li family isn't all dead, so why should I raise their daughter for them? Our Zhou family doesn't have any extra food to feed an ingrate! How dare you say that! Will she give me her dowry when she gets married? What's the point of raising her if I don't spend a penny? I'm not stupid. You think you can take advantage of me? No way!"
Su Nanxi raised an eyebrow. Oh ho, now that it's her turn, she can't hold back anymore and is already jumping up and down!
Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with disdain. They thought, "Why is it that when you criticize others, you can't do it when it comes to yourself?"
Su Nanxi sneered, "Didn't you want to be a philanthropist? Didn't you say you were magnanimous and could forgive anyone? Why are you so petty? It just makes you look narrow-minded and heartless! Look how miserable they are, how can you have no sympathy at all? How heartless! They've been your neighbor for over ten years, calling you 'Aunt Zhou' every day when they go out! How can you bear not to help them?"
Others chimed in, all advising Aunt Zhou to be kind and help out by taking the child home to care for her, so she wouldn't have to worry so much!
Aunt Zhou was furious. When did she ever say she was worried about Li Yunmei? When did she ever say she wanted to help?
No!
Why do all these people keep telling her to do this? When did she become such a philanthropist?
What does it matter to her how miserable Li Yunmei is? She just wants to cause trouble for the Mo family and doesn't care about other people's lives!
But one mouth is no match for a dozen mouths, bombarding her in turn, giving her no chance to speak at all. She was always interrupted as soon as she was about to open her mouth!
I'm so angry, but I can't let it out!
Li Yunmei was also dumbfounded. How did they start arguing? What was there to argue about? She had never even thought about going to Aunt Zhou's house!
Who would want to live in that Zhou family's house? It's a dilapidated, dark, and tiny place, crawling with insects and ants, and rats even get into the bed at night!
She would rather die than go!
She's definitely going to go somewhere good. She's already living in bad conditions, why would she go to such a terrible place? What's the point of all that trouble?
She was going to the Mo family's new house, a bright and spacious house, which was the place she wanted to live in!
Why do these people insist on having Aunt Zhou take her in? They didn't even ask if she wanted to go. Are they trying to help her or harm her?
Ask her quickly, she can tell you!
Nobody paid any attention to her, she was really anxious!
Don't send her to the Zhou family, she won't do it!
By the time the argument had died down, Aunt Zhou was panting heavily. She tried her best to defend herself and deflect the blame, saying that one had to speak very loudly for others to hear her.
Isn't arguing often just about overwhelming the other person with your voice?
I've gotten used to it. If I don't speak loudly, it's as if I'm insecure. If I speak loudly enough, it means I'm confident and have a strong presence, and that's how I win!
After arguing for a while, Aunt Zhou's voice became hoarse, and shouting loudly requires a lot of strength, so it's not surprising that she was panting.
But everyone was relaxed because they didn't shout at all; they just spoke normally!
Seeing that things had stopped, Li Yunmei finally had a chance to speak. Afraid that they would start arguing again, she quickly said, "I don't want to go to Aunt Zhou's house! None of you asked for my opinion!"
Aunt Zhou said angrily, "I didn't intend to take you in!"
She hasn't even complained about the ungrateful wretch yet, let alone dared to look down on her family!
Don't think she doesn't know what Li Yunmei did in the past; she knows it very well!
You can see it clearly by peeking over the wall next door!
This person is an ungrateful wretch who will give everything away to others and doesn't care about his own family at all!
Hmph! No one should take her in!
The Mo family is good, but will they let us in?
Greedy for the rich and despised by the poor—what a morally reprehensible act!
Aunt Zhou, still furious, started scolding Li Yunmei again, "Look at yourself! How dare you look down on our Zhou family? You think you can just walk into the Zhou family whenever you want? We're not a family you can just walk into! Ha! With your character, you think you can get into the Mo family? You're dreaming! Do you even think you still have the surname Mo?!"
It's all because of that brat! She got surrounded and scolded by the villagers, which made her furious!
He intended to cause trouble for the Mo family, but ended up drawing the fire back to himself, which is really frustrating!
That brat is completely useless; she couldn't help her at all!
She's so old, and no one has ever scolded her like this before. This is the first time, and she's really lost face in the village!
The problem is that she can't win an argument with them no matter what she says; every word she utters is immediately shut down!
She got angrier the more she thought about it, and luckily none of her Zhou family members were here, so there was no one to stand up for her!
Those brats must have run back to their slumber early to avoid the scorching sun!
He didn't even know he should stand up for his mother. Having more people around would make a big difference!
I'll have to give them a good talking to when I get back. They probably don't even know where I am, I'm probably lying comfortably in my room!
Li Yunmei retorted, "It's not like I asked you to stand up for me! You can't win the argument, so you take it out on me! If you hadn't spoken up, would they have talked about you? This is between me and the Mo family, what are you meddling in? You just can't stand seeing the Mo family doing well and want to kick them while they're down. Don't think I don't understand! You have no ability, yet you insist on stirring things up! If you're so idle, go cool off somewhere else!"
"You, you, you!" Aunt Zhou pointed angrily at Li Yunmei. She hadn't expected Li Yunmei to be so eloquent and clear-headed. "You're such an ungrateful wretch! I spoke up for you, and you turn around and bite me! Bah! I knew you were the kind of person I shouldn't help! Luckily, I'm not trying to help you! I just don't like the Mo family, so what? Is that any of your business?"
Li Yunmei scoffed, "Pshaw! I don't need your help at all. You're not that kind-hearted! I never say a word if there's no benefit to be gained!"
The two started arguing.
Su Nanxi pursed her lips. It's like the arguments never end. You argue with one person, and then you turn around and argue with another!
They argued even more heatedly!
Okay!
Judging from their posture, the conflict between these two must have been brewing for a long time. They probably disliked each other for a long time and took this opportunity to let it all out!
That's good!
Two solved at once!
Saves time, effort, and trouble!
Xiao Wu came back and didn't see any family members, so he went out to look for them and happened to find this place.
Su Nanxi instructed him to take a villager and ride a donkey cart to invite the village chief of Lijia Village.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately set off.
Su Nanxi reminded him to be careful, because there was no other way; Xiao Wu was driving too fast!
The scene is still lively and won't stop anytime soon.
"Why are you interfering with me, you old geezer!"
"You brat, I'll tear your mouth apart! You're so ill-mannered!"
