Nanzhi squinted at the two people in front of her.
The two men unabashedly focused their attention on the wolves in the yard, clearly there to beg for their money.
Although she really wanted to take all the wolves for herself, it might not be so easy to take two troublemakers here.
Shu Zhizhen looked Nan Zhi up and down. After not seeing her for a few days, this money-loser was dressed much better, and her clothes looked like new ones.
Why would a worthless woman like her dress so nicely? It's a good opportunity to take it back, alter it, and give it to her precious grandchildren.
"Nanzhi, you killed eight of these. Give them to me, and I'll take care of them for you."
What a ridiculous demand! Why should she get it after all the hard work she put into making it?
Nan Zhi declared definitively, "No!"
"Oh dear, this Granny Shu is even more shameless than Granny Zhao," Granny Liu said while cracking sunflower seeds.
"I want it all! You still think you're some kind of 'Zhizhi's mother'?"
“What do you old hags know? This is my daughter. She should be given to me as a gift after the wolf is killed. What are you all babbling about? I gave birth to her and raised her. What’s wrong with taking a little something from her?”
Zhao Hui added, "That's right, the Nan family provides her with food and clothing, so what's wrong with those little things?"
Grandma Liu spat twice, blowing the sunflower seed shells from her mouth far away.
This old fool is just like Granny Zhao, equally shameless.
Nan Zhi sneered: "Mother? You seem to have forgotten that we have severed ties. The document is still there. Do you want me to take it out and show it to you?"
Seeing that her mother-in-law remained silent, Zhao Hui stepped forward with her hands on her hips.
“What’s more important than a document than blood ties? Even if the document is there, we’re still sisters-in-law, our relationship is unbreakable. You and your mother are connected by blood. Do you really want to completely abandon your parents?”
Although they've officially severed ties, they're still their biological parents, and they can't just ignore them.
I had hoped to sever all ties completely through the written agreement, but now it seems impossible.
If we don't take responsibility, people in the village will definitely gossip.
Nan Zhi doesn't care about reputation, but now that she's married to Song Hanyan, she can't help but think about him.
Nanzhi remained silent for a long time.
"Since you gave birth to me and raised me, I naturally cannot ignore whether you live or die."
Zhao Hui was secretly pleased. Even if this little vixen got married, she still couldn't escape his grasp. She would still have her way with whatever she said.
Nanzhi continued, “As you all know, we have severed ties with our family. However, our dynasty values filial piety. Although they treated me very badly, constantly beating and scolding me, and occasionally not letting me eat, and only covering me with a thin blanket in winter, they still gave birth to me.”
Nan Zhi gritted her teeth: "Everyone is here today, and the village chief is also a witness. From now on, I will give my parents one tael of silver every month as retirement money."
Shu Zhizhen's eyes lit up. One tael of silver per month, twelve taels of silver per year, was a considerable sum.
Zhao Hui's eyes darted around. This girl could take an ounce of silver so easily; it seemed she had secretly saved quite a bit.
Song Hanyan is a hunter; he could probably make his money back by catching a pheasant or a rabbit. Wouldn't they be losing out?
Zhao Xinghai also thought it was a good deal, as one tael of silver was already quite a lot.
Zhao Xinghai: "Since that's the case, then..."
"No!" Zhao Hui shouted.
Zhao Xinghai frowned.
Zhao Hui: "How can one tael of silver be enough? Don't forget about Dad, Chengcheng, Yaoyao, her older brother, and her second older brother. They don't need money."
Zhao Xinghai took a deep breath. This family is truly shameless, even more so than Zhao Laizi's family.
Before Nanzhi could speak, Zhao Xinghai said seriously, "Zhao Hui, Nanzhi only needs to give your parents-in-law money on time. As for the others, that's your own business."
Namzhi thanked Zhao Xinghai for standing up and speaking out for justice.
Sun Zheng squeezed through the crowd to the front and shouted for help.
"Shu Zhizhen, do you only need Nanzhi to support your family after all the men in your family have died?"
"Hey you, rickshaw puller, stop talking nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart."
The idea that all the men were dead was clearly a ruse to prevent her from getting the money; she actually thought her eldest daughter-in-law's words made sense.
Shu Zhizhen said confidently, "Besides Zhao Hui, who in the Nan family isn't her closest relative? Is it wrong to take care of your closest relatives?"
Widow Tian said sarcastically, "Your daughter is married out of the family. This is the first time I've ever heard of a married woman having to take care of her own family. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Zhao Hui snapped, "If you don't speak, the beauty will think you're mute. What do you, a widow, know?"
Nan Zhi: "One tael of silver per month, nothing else. You can decide for yourselves. If you don't want it, then I won't give it to you. And these wolves are not for you."
Shu Zhizhen picked up a broom from the yard: "Hey, you good-for-nothing, you've gotten married and now you think you're all grown up? You dare to go against your mother? I'll beat you to death, you good-for-nothing."
The broom was intercepted mid-air.
"Who is it, meddling in other people's business? I'll beat you to a pulp..."
Shu Zhizhen turned her head and saw the person in front of her. She stopped talking and dared not utter a word. Why was this ruthless killer back?
Nan Zhi was delighted to see Song Hanyan and said, "You're back."
Song Hanyan nodded to her, then pulled her behind him.
"My wife killed the wolf. If you want it, you'll have to get past me first."
The crowd was unusually quiet. Even the usually talkative Granny Liu kept her mouth full of sunflower seeds, afraid to crack them open for fear of making a sound.
Such a tall man stood there, but didn't utter a sound.
I've heard that Hunter Song has killed people. If you anger him, you won't even need wolves to come; they'll be beheaded.
Song Hanyan: "Want a wolf? Okay, pay up, I'll sell it for money."
Zheng Xinghai moved closer to the door, not out of fear, but because this guy was too aggressive.
“Husband, I give my mother one tael of silver every month, but they are still not satisfied. They actually want me to support her whole family and they want the wolf that I worked so hard to hunt.”
