Chapter 23 Tit for tat



Han Zhenmin was shocked by her words. He hadn't been back for just a few days, and this bitch dared to teach him a lesson and not let him go to school. It was really outrageous.

He pointed at Su Xieqiu's nose and said angrily, "Who do you think you are? How dare you say that I can't go to school? When is it your turn to speak in our family?"

"Why? I, your sister-in-law, work every day to support you, and I can't even say a word in this family."

Seeing that his face turned blue with anger, Su Xieqiu laughed inwardly, then shook his head pretending to be disappointed in him and continued to scold him.

"You are already 18 this year, but you haven't even graduated from high school. People your age are all working in the fields to earn work points, but you are still eating for free at home. How can you be so shameless? How can you eat so much?"

Although Han Zhenmin was a bit scheming, he was only 18 years old after all. Now that Su Xieqiu was pointing at his nose and scolding him, he was somewhat impatient.

He yelled angrily, "What's wrong with me going to high school at the age of 18? There are 20-year-olds in our class. Besides, I spend my parents' money, what does it have to do with you?"

"Why is it not related? We haven't separated yet. The work points your elder brother and I earned are all kept by my parents-in-law."

Su Xieqiu counted the expenses with him one by one, counting on his fingers. "Everything you eat and use, as well as the tuition you pay for school, all of them are contributed by us. Your elder brother and I saved money to provide you with food, clothes, and schooling, but I didn't expect you to say it has nothing to do with us. You are so heartless. Have you wasted all the books you read in the past few years?"

Han Zhenmin heard her twisting right and wrong, his face livid and he said angrily, "Do you still have any shame? Han Zhenyu is a notorious lazy scoundrel who spends most of the year fooling around outside. The two cents you earn every day are not enough for you to eat? How dare you say that you two support me? You are really shameless."

When Su Xieqiu heard him say that Han Zhenyu was a gangster, he was about to scold him when he suddenly saw a few children and old ladies standing not far away watching the fun.

Her eyes rolled, and she slapped her thigh, imitating Yang Lanhua's behavior, and cursed excitedly.

"You are so heartless when you say this. In order to let you study, my husband was driven out by your mother to beg for money. I am here to take care of your family, but now you are calling me shameless.

My man is so obedient, but your mother still slanders him everywhere, saying that he is not doing his job properly and that he is a gangster.

You all dare to bully him like this, isn't it because you think my man has no one to rely on? You are a family of ungrateful wolves, you really have such a vicious heart!"

Han Zhenmin was so angry that he almost lost his mind when he saw that she was confusing right and wrong and was getting more and more outrageous. He wanted to hit her.

Su Xieqiu smiled coldly, watching him threaten softly, "If you dare to touch me, I will go to your school to make trouble tomorrow. If you don't believe me, just try it."

When Han Zhenmin heard her threat, he paused and immediately put down his hand.

He looked at Su Xieqiu in front of him and felt extremely strange, as if he had never known this person before.

This guy used to be timid at home and didn't even dare to speak loudly, but now he is so eloquent.

He hasn't been back for just half a month. Could something have happened in the meantime?

Han Zhenmin stared at her for a while, snorted coldly, and pushed his bicycle into the yard.

Su Xieqiu looked at his back with a disdainful smile, then turned around and went back to the house to take a nap.

Han Zhenmin came back to get food. He hadn't eaten lunch yet and was now hot, thirsty and hungry.

He went to the backyard first, ready to wash his face and cool down, but the water tank in the backyard was empty.

He ran to the kitchen again, but there was not a drop of water in the vat either. He was so angry that he kicked the vat. He then went to his parents' room, but it was empty again.

Han Zhenmin stood in the main room, breathing heavily. Every time he came back in the past, no matter who was at home, they would be the first to prepare food and drinks for him.

Even if there was no one at home, I wouldn't be so dry as I am today.

He wanted to instruct Su Xieqiu to fetch water and cook for him, but when he thought of the conflict between them just now, he gave up the idea.

Han Zhenmin rested for a while in the main room, then went to fetch water with a wooden bucket. He had no choice as his throat was so thirsty that it was almost smoking.

Su Xieqiu lay on the kang, crossed his legs and hummed a song leisurely. He felt more relaxed than ever before.

Thinking back to my previous life, I had to be dignified and maintain my personal image at all times whether I was at school or at work.

Especially in the company, no matter how big the conflict is with colleagues, I always say one thing in front of them and another behind their backs, and never confront them directly.

Now I put aside my good manners and just go crazy when something happens. I will scold anyone who makes me uncomfortable. I am worse than the worst and it really makes me feel refreshed.

Su Xieqiu was waving the palm-leaf fan in her hand intermittently. Now she wanted to conserve her energy and have a good sleep.

I killed a chicken today. The old woman will definitely not let me go when she comes back. There should be another fight in the evening.

Su Xieqiu hoped that the old woman would make a big fuss tonight so that he could take the opportunity to divide the family property.

Han Zhenmin fetched the water back and poured it into his mouth with the ladle before he had time to boil it.

After drinking half a bucket of cold water, my thirst was finally quenched and my irritable mood calmed down.

He stared at Su Xieqiu and Han Zhenyu's rooms for a while, then rode his bicycle to the south.

He just asked the neighbor's child and found out that Han Zhenyu was back.

He said how dare that woman be so arrogant today, it turned out that someone was backing her up behind the scenes.

Han Zhenmin smiled grimly and pedaled his bicycle faster.

Han Meili was sitting on the ground taking a rest. She was very surprised to see him. "Third brother, you are back?"

Han Zhenmin nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Little sister, why are you here in the field? Why don't you leave anyone at home? What's going on with Su Xieqiu?"

In the past, Han Meili seldom came to work in the fields. She stayed at home to do laundry and cook.

Yang Lanhua didn't let her go to the fields to earn work points, saying that girls have a few good years when they are young, but there are more things to worry about after they get married, so let her enjoy a few years of happiness at home.

But today he didn't dare let her stay at home, for fear that Su Xieqiu would go crazy and beat her again.

When Han Meili heard her third brother mention Su Xieqiu, she became angry and couldn't wait to complain to him.

"Third brother, that bitch is really terrible now. She doesn't do any work and even steals the fine grains and eggs left for you at home. She also beat me and my second sister-in-law yesterday. She even dares to talk back to my parents."

The more Han Zhenmin listened, the uglier his expression became, but when he calmed down and thought about it, he felt that something was not right.

He didn't think that Su Xieqiu, who had always been cowardly, would dare to do this. That woman didn't have that much courage.

Could it be that Han Zhenyu was behind this? But what was his purpose in doing this?
