Let her marry her divorced nephew?
How desperate must Xia Zhichu be to continue to be entangled with the Shen family?
"Auntie, no need!" Xia Zhichu called everyone auntie. Although the Shen family was not rich, they had a lot of relatives. Xia Zhichu had never come into contact with these people, so she couldn't remember who was who.
Besides, now that she and Shen Liang are divorced, in her eyes, these people have the same status as Shen's mother.
But her shouting made the gossip girls unhappy, and they immediately scolded her fiercely, "Why call me auntie? We are your eldest aunt, second aunt, and third aunt."
Xia Zhichu smiled helplessly, then corrected herself, "Sorry, Auntie, Shen Liang and I are divorced, and I have nothing to do with him now, so it's not my place to call you by those names. If you like being called that, when Zhou Qing joins, she should be able to call you by those names to your pleasure."
Being confronted in such a situation, these gossipy women were very dissatisfied and started to curse Xia Zhichu non-stop, pointing at him.
"What kind of upbringing? Even if you're divorced, you still have to maintain proper etiquette. How can you call her aunt?"
"Yes, yes, she really is from a background that is not worthy of being mentioned in public. No wonder Aliang wants to divorce her. Even my family wouldn't be interested in a daughter-in-law like her."
"That's right, you're married but you still sleep in separate rooms and don't want children. Is there something wrong with your health?"
"Yes, it's right for Aliang to divorce her. You can't keep a hen that can't lay eggs."
Faced with the insults from the gossips, Xia Zhichu's face became more and more embarrassed. He didn't want to argue with these people in such an occasion, but now they were getting more and more excessive, which made Xia Zhichu unbearable.
"Auntie, please let me talk..."
Before Xia Zhichu could finish the word "clean", a strong hand wrapped around his shoulders, followed by a familiar aura of coercion and the man's domineering words.
"Others may not like it, but I cherish it!"
The appearance of Si Mochen made several aunts shut their mouths. They just looked at the tall and handsome man in front of them, and all looked at Shen's mother in confusion.
"Who is this handsome guy?"
Many of the Shen family’s relatives are also from rural areas, so they don’t understand the situation in Jincheng, and are even less aware of Si Mochen’s identity.
But Shen's mother knew him.
She originally wanted to let these relatives intimidate Xia Zhichu, but who knew that Xia Zhichu has become so sharp-tongued and is no longer the soft persimmon that allowed her to bully him.
Whenever Shen's mother thought of the scene on the roadside that day when Xia Zhichu teamed up with her bestie to bully her, she felt uncomfortable. That's why she wanted to teach her a lesson today, but she didn't expect that her backer would come so quickly.
Mother Shen was throwing a tantrum, but because of Si Mochen's status, she hurriedly stopped the gossiping women and said, "Stop talking, this man is Zhichu's current husband, and he's the richest man in Jincheng."
"What?"
When the gossip girls heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
So Xia Zhichu had already remarried, and married a rich man?
No wonder he was so confident just now and wanted to distance himself from them.
These relatives were all snobbish. Seeing this opportunity, they changed their faces and quickly tried to curry favor with Xia Zhichu, saying all kinds of nice things.
"Chu Chu, it was just my aunt who said those things without knowing your situation. Please don't take it to heart."
"Yeah Chuchu, how can my divorced nephew be worthy of you? Your husband is handsome and rich. You really found a treasure this time."
"Yes, Chuchu, since you have become so successful, can you help me out a little?"
Xia Zhichu looked at these people whose expressions changed faster than the weather, and laughed coldly in his heart.
Of course, he was not polite in his words. "It seems that I have no reason to help you now, right? Even if you need help, why don't you ask Zhou Qing? His parents are well-known teachers with extensive resources."
Xia Zhichu said this while looking at Shen's mother, which undoubtedly slapped Shen's mother hard on the face, making Shen's mother very embarrassed.
Unable to control her temper, she didn't care about Si Mochen's presence and directly cursed Xia Zhichu, "Okay, Xia Zhichu, you've become a phoenix by marrying into a wealthy family, and you've even forgotten your own background?"
"Okay, since you have a bad memory, I'll settle everything with you."
Mother Chen returned to her usual shrewish demeanor, rolling up her sleeves and pointing at Xia Zhichu. "Back then, your family asked for a betrothal gift of 300,000 yuan, and we gave it all. After marriage, you didn't work, spent all of Chen Liang's money, and even used it to support your family. Forget all that, but your vampire father kept asking A Liang for money. We spent so much time and money helping your family, and yet you're so ungrateful that you're even repaying our kindness with hatred."
"You're such a heartless person. Even after the divorce, you can't stand seeing your ex-husband getting better. You even bring your current husband over here to steal the spotlight. What on earth are you thinking, you bitch?"
Mother Shen kept calling Si Mochen a "bitch" and a "wolf-hearted" girl, which made Si Mochen look very ugly.
He was about to take action, but was stopped in time by Xia Zhichu, who even told him with her eyes that she could handle these things on her own.
Of course, Xia Zhichu also told him through her actions that sometimes her silence did not mean that she had no temper. If she was irritated, she could make the other person regret what he had said.
"Aunt!"
She suddenly stood up, facing Mother Shen indifferently, and said lightly, "You want to settle the accounts, right? Okay, I'll also settle the accounts of the past three years!"
Originally, she thought it would be ugly to tear each other apart after the divorce, but now Shen's mother's aggressiveness made Xia Zhichu no longer care about so much.
Since the Shen family is so shameless, she doesn't need to hold back.
Mother Shen was still high and mighty a second ago, but as Xia Zhichu stood up and saw the cold light in her eyes, she instantly became a little timid.
But in order not to be at a disadvantage, she still raised her head sarcastically and snorted, "Go ahead, I want to see what you can figure out."
Xia Zhichu smiled faintly upon hearing this. "Three hundred thousand was what Shen Liang himself promised. He felt sorry for my past and offered to pay any amount for the betrothal gift. You spent three hundred thousand to buy a daughter-in-law, so it's not a loss at all. I've worked like a slave for your Shen family all these years. You can count on your fingers. Even if you hire a nanny, it would cost at least seven or eight thousand a month. I've been married to Shen Liang for three years, and the total expenses are almost three hundred thousand, so the betrothal gift is even."
“As for you always saying that I spend Shen Liang’s money, I want to ask Aunt Shen, don’t you have to eat three meals a day? Don’t you live in that house?”
"Everything I spent was for that family. I never spent a penny more on myself over the years. I have a clear conscience about this."
"Of course, as for the matter of helping my mother's family, I have severed ties with the Xia family since I left. As for Shen Liang's willingness to give money, that is Shen Liang's business. What does it have to do with me?"
The aggressive words made Shen's mother's face turn pale and blue, and she was even more incoherent.
