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

Chapter 141 Xu Zhichun felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
No one in Liangjia Village dared to utter a sound.

The elderly woman, who couldn't help but express her feelings, became even more flustered and frightened, backing away from the crowd and quietly running home.

These people are too fierce; we can't afford to mess with them. The best course of action is to run away.

The Lian family was furious and, in their anger, lashed out at Uncle Liang and Zhang.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? If you're looking down on me, then don't marry me!"

“Even though our fourth brother is a widower, he’s still strong and healthy, with eyes and a nose. What gives you the right to look down on him?”

"You guys are amazing!"

"You can't bully people like that, not even a chance."

"that is!"

Uncle Liang was both angry and anxious, sweat beading on his forehead. He was already feeling aggrieved, and now he had to force a smile and apologize in a low voice. Liang, the village head, and many other elderly people from the village were also present and stepped in to smooth things over. After much persuasion, the other party finally stopped cursing.

Although they stopped swearing, even their family members, who have extremely strong self-esteem, insisted that the "insulting" guy come out and apologize, and wouldn't let it go no matter what they said.

Of course, some people in Liangjia Village heard who said it, but who was willing to point it out? Pointing it out would be tantamount to betraying someone, and it would lead to arguments afterwards.

No one would willingly get involved in such trouble.

In the end, Liang Lizheng gleaned some meaning from the Lian family's relentless cursing and whispered something in Liang Dabo's ear. Liang Dabo first frowned, but finally reluctantly nodded.

Liang, the village head, smiled and repeatedly said polite things, saying it was all a misunderstanding. To make up for it, the Liang family would give a large red envelope as compensation. On this joyous occasion, everyone should take a step back and let the matter rest.
Although the other person was still grumbling, they were clearly not as angry anymore.

Some younger people, taking advantage of their age and "children's innocent remarks," shamelessly asked with a smile how big the red envelope was.
Liang Lizheng sighed inwardly, "It's definitely big, it must be at least two or three hundred coins, haha."

"Why are you being so indecisive? Is it two hundred or three hundred?"

"Two hundred? I think even three hundred is a bit low."

"It should be at least four hundred."

"Otherwise, it's bullying and not being sincere."

"Yes."

Uncle Liang was so angry he was about to swear. These were going to be his in-laws? How humiliating!
"Four hundred, it's four hundred."

Uncle Liang almost gritted his teeth as he spoke; he just wanted this whole mess to pass quickly. He'd completely lost face.

The Liang family was finally satisfied, praising him for being generous and sincere, and saying that since the Liang family was so sincere, they wouldn't hold it against him.

The villagers of Liangjia Village looked at each other with undisguised disdain. What kind of people were these?
She lost a young, unmarried woman without receiving a single drop of dowry, and instead lost a considerable amount. Now she had to pay another four hundred coins. Zhang's heart was bleeding with pain. When she saw Xu Zhichun in the crowd, her anger doubled instantly. She glared at Xu Zhichun with resentment: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault, it's all your fault!"

Uncle Liang angrily shouted, "Shut up, what's wrong with you!"

Zhang's resentful gaze and angry accusations were so direct and sincere that countless eyes turned to Xu Zhichun in an instant.

Xu Zhichun: "." She regretted it; she shouldn't have come. Or she should have just come for a quick look and then left.

Aunt Liang had been taking good care of Xu Zhichun all day, and immediately shielded her behind her, saying, "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Even the fourth brother saw Xu Zhichun, chuckled, and said with an ambiguous meaning, "I really have a connection with your Liang family. My mother-in-law specifically asked me to come and arrange a marriage for this Xu woman, hoping she would remarry me. It's a pity it didn't work out. I thought it was hopeless, but who knew that Cui'er and I are truly destined for each other. Isn't that a coincidence? Hahaha!"

Xu Zhichun felt so nauseous she wanted to vomit.

Many people vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong here: How could it be such a coincidence? The person who was originally supposed to be given to Xu Zhichun ended up being married to Liang Cuier due to an unexpected incident?

The people on the Lian family's side, however, became excited, laughing and shouting things like "Fate! Fate!" One woman even critically examined Xu Zhichun, saying in a loud voice, "This Xu woman is a widow? She's quite young and pretty, isn't Old Shi from our village just right—"

"Shut up!"

Liang Lizheng's face darkened, and he shouted angrily, "Xu is our Liang family's daughter-in-law. Are you here to pick up the bride, or what? What nonsense are you spouting about our Liang family's daughter-in-law?"

That woman, Madam Gu, was an aunt from a collateral branch of the Lian family. Lian Lao Si had to call her Aunt. She loved to meddle in other people's business, as if there was nothing she didn't know or care about. She wanted to get involved in everything. She was happy to see that the Lian family had successfully caused trouble and gained benefits, so she became arrogant and overbearing.

They are the bride's in-laws who have come to pick her up; how could the bride's family dare to be disrespectful?

Liang Lizheng's face darkened, but she didn't take it seriously and still smiled and said, "I'm just trying to be helpful. Look at this young woman, so beautiful, to just stay like this for the rest of her life is so hard. She hasn't said anything yet, why are you in such a hurry, Liang Lizheng? Does your Liang family forbid people from remarrying? That's so domineering."

Xu Zhichun looked at Uncle Liang and Madam Zhang and sneered, "Uncle and Aunt, don't you know the inside story? Are you just letting the Lian family talk nonsense here?"

Uncle Liang and Zhang felt quite relieved to see Xu Zhichun being teased. When Xu Zhichun asked them questions, Uncle Liang had to explain, no matter how unwilling he was, otherwise the village head, clan elders, and other elders would not listen.

"Our niece-in-law is absolutely faithful and has long vowed never to remarry. I won't say anymore, haha."

Even Gu Shi had a sharp tongue, and she felt that as the in-laws, she had been humiliated in front of so many people. She was very unhappy, but she was also convinced that no matter what she said or did on such a day, what could the Liang family do?
Honestly, if we don't put the Liang family in their place today, won't we have to be subservient to them in future interactions?
Even Gu Shi pretended to be stupid: "How could a young woman, as beautiful as a flower, make such a vow? Oh dear niece, you weren't forced into it, were you?"

Everyone in Liangjia Village was disgusted and complained about it.

"what does it mean?"

"Yeah, he's sick in the head."

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Your foul mouth is so annoying."

"."

Xu Zhichun sneered angrily: "My family has six or seven acres of good farmland and a hundred acres of dry land. We make a little money every day from our small business. We just built a big brick house with a large courtyard. Moreover, my brother-in-law, who is not even eleven years old, ranked third in the county school examination this year. When he becomes successful, won't I be able to enjoy a life of luxury? Why would I remarry when I have such a wonderful life?"

"As for why I solemnly swore not to remarry, it's because there are too many people like you, Auntie, who always act like elders and try to force me to remarry, claiming it's for my own good—how do you know I'm not doing well now? I'm so annoyed, so I simply swore to stop these gossips. I never expected that there would still be people like you, Auntie, who are so self-righteous. Really, what can one say!"

"Instead of wasting your time, worry more about your own family. How much money did you make this year? Is your grandson in school? When are you going to build a new house? When are you going to buy a couple more acres of land? Do you have any plans to earn more money or raise a couple more pigs next year?"

"Whatever others are doing!"
