They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 130 She remembered

This stupid woman—should we call her stupid or vicious?

What was she trying to say?

Even a proper matchmaking shouldn't be done like this!
Besides, Zhichun hadn't even considered him.

Zhang panicked, "I...I—"

She wanted to smear Xu Zhichun, to insist that she and Lian Laosi had something going on, but even someone as foolish as her understood after listening to Liang Lizheng's words that she couldn't throw mud at him.

Xu Zhichun denied ever going to her house or meeting Lian Laosi.

She has no evidence.

Even the fourth brother couldn't get anything out of Xu Zhichun; instead, he was hurt by her. That useless idiot! If he had slept with Xu Zhichun back then, and she had become his woman, what would he have to worry about? Even if she was unwilling, she would have had to accept her fate and choose to swallow her anger and protect her man.

That useless piece of trash is the only reason for it!

It's obvious which statement is more credible, Xu Zhichun's or Zhang's.

Even Uncle Liang was like that, glaring fiercely at Zhang Shi and cursing her inwardly for being more trouble than good.

Zhang was speechless, having been thoroughly berated.

Xu Zhichun cried her heart out.

In the end, Zhang was forced to apologize, her face flushed red, her expression one of shame and indignation, and she almost fainted on the spot.

She's an elder, an aunt! If word gets out, what will become of her reputation? She'll probably be laughed at by the villagers for half a year.

However, everyone criticized her, berated her, blamed her, and even threatened her. She was besieged and so desperate that she wanted to disappear into the ground, unable to defend herself.

She even doubted whether she had a memory problem, whether she remembered it wrong, or whether what Xu Zhichun said was the truth.
In addition, Uncle Liang and Zhang were forced to promise that they would never force Xu Zhichun to remarry again.

Uncle Liang, being quite shrewd, added, "Of course, if Zhichun meets someone she likes someday and is willing to marry him, then we have no objections."

Xu Zhichun sneered inwardly. Even at this point, she was still trying to play mind games with her.

Who knows if they will use every means to force her to "be willing"?

dream.

Xu Zhichun immediately raised her hand above her head, palm facing the sky, and declared resolutely and fiercely: "I, Xu Zhichun, swear to the heavens that I will never remarry in this life! I belong to Liang Minglang in life and death! If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning, lose everything, and live a lonely and miserable life!"

"Hey--"

"You kid!"

Aunt Liang and Fourth Auntie tried to stop it, but it was too late; they were heartbroken.

Not only the two of them, but also Liang Lizheng, Sixth Grandfather and others were greatly shocked and glared at Uncle Liang in condemnation.

His words clearly harbored malicious intent! Is he satisfied after pushing people to this point?

Uncle Liang never expected Xu Zhichun to make such a fierce vow. She blocked her own path and also blocked their path of trying to play tricks on each other.

Uncle Liang looked a little embarrassed, forcing a small smile: "Zhichun, this is really... really... gone too far. It's not like it had to come to this, haha."

Xu Zhichun said coldly, "Uncle, that's not right. I don't like being vague or wishy-washy. It's better to be clear so that no one will force me to say 'I'm willing to remarry' in the future. That would be cleaner!"

Zhang was annoyed and embarrassed: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by making things clear, otherwise what will your aunt think I mean?"

"Don't blame everything on me. Why don't you blame your second aunt and uncle? Are they really that good?"

"Whether they're good or bad, it's not up to me to decide. What does Auntie know? Why don't you tell everyone and let them judge?" "You—"

"Shut up!" Uncle Liang shouted angrily, "No one will think you're mute if you can't speak, but you're always spreading rumors and gossip. Why don't you become mute yourself!"

Uncle Liang was also angry that the second wife had gotten away with everything, but he would naturally settle accounts with them privately later. However, was it the right time to say such things? Wouldn't saying them now just add fuel to the fire?
Moreover, doesn't this make it seem like the elders from both their uncles' branches are ganging up on an orphan and widow? Is that acceptable?
Do those two families still have any shame?
Aunt Liang couldn't help but snort, "It would be better if she wasn't mute. If she could speak, why didn't she say more?"

Honestly, she doesn't know what nice things to say!

These two families are really something else.

Sixth Grandfather glanced at them and slowly said to Liang Lizheng and Aunt Liang, "You two should take better care of Zhichun in the future. It's pitiful that she's raising Mingxuan all by herself, all alone and helpless. She has no one to talk to about anything, which is tough for her. She's young, and I'm sure she's shy. You two should take the initiative to ask her more often."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, sir!"

"Alright, alright, we wouldn't dare let Grandpa, at his age, worry about the clan's affairs. We'll take care of them!"

The village head and his wife quickly agreed.

The three of them talked and answered each other, completely ignoring Uncle Liang and the Zhang couple, who were the closest blood relatives to Xu Zhichun's family, as if they were complete strangers.

This was a blatant slap in the face and humiliation. Uncle Liang's face turned red, and even someone as foolish as Zhang opened her mouth as if to say something, but said nothing.

Uncle Liang glared fiercely at Zhang Shi, his mind racing.

That stupid woman, that idiot, she's as stupid as a pig! Even a pig is better than her!
Just then, Uncle Liang and Madam Bai arrived.

The group exchanged glances, all giving Uncle Liang and Madam Zhang somewhat ambiguous looks.

Uncle Liang's mouth tasted bitter: Just what I feared most has come to pass.
Liang Lizheng was thinking to himself that he had been planning to give Uncle Liang and his wife, Bai, a good time to give them a good talking-to.

In fact, Bai had been instigating Zhang to plot against Xu Zhichun, and had been keeping an eye on the eldest son's side.

To absolve herself of any responsibility and prove that she "knew nothing," she saw Xu Zhichun heading towards the main house, so she quickly grabbed a basket and went to the village entrance to cut pig feed. Estimating that things were almost done, she patiently waited a while before returning, appearing unhurried but inwardly impatient.

Unexpectedly, the main house was quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Mr. Bai was very puzzled.

She decided to wait a little longer, but the village head ended up calling her elder brother and sister-in-law over.

He didn't return for a long time.

Bai couldn't stay any longer.

She was afraid that if no one was home, the couple might say something that would smear her reputation—and those two weren't exactly kind people.

So, after her husband returned, the couple came over as well.

"Brother Village Head! Oh, Fourth Grandmother and Sixth Grandfather are here too."

"Ah, I'm here. You've come at just the right time."

Bai smiled and pretended to be confused: "We heard that they invited my elder brother, sister-in-law and Zhichun, and we thought we should come too. After all, we are family, and we should know if anything happens to us."

Xu Zhichun clenched her fists tightly.

It took all his strength to keep his expression from changing.

She remembered.

The so-called "jumping off a cliff to die for her husband" was not the original owner's own choice, but was pushed by her second aunt, Bai.
