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

Chapter 151 Money or Money?
Enraged beyond endurance, Zeng Xiaoyan also resorted to violence, shouting, "I'll tear your mouth apart! You bullied my sister and humiliated my husband, are you even human?"

Aunt Lou immediately became agitated, shouting, "What are you doing? What do you want to do!"

She rushed forward to pull her away, but Xu Zhichun glanced at Zeng Xiaojuan and hurriedly said, "Blindfold the child, cover her ears and protect her. Chunfen, help quickly."

She rushed forward to stop him, saying, "Auntie, you can't hit him! It's clearly your son who's in the wrong!"

The psychological trauma inflicted by her in-laws was almost completely consuming her; Zeng Xiaojuan, pale-faced and trembling, stood frozen, too afraid to move. Hearing Xu Zhichun's words, she jolted awake, hurriedly hugging her daughter tightly and covering her ears, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Qiao'er, who was equally frightened, calmed down in a moment and hugged her tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Alright, Sister-in-law Zhichun!" Chunfen readily agreed, stepped forward, and with a grab and a push, sent Aunt Lou back seven or eight steps.

Seeing her son being beaten and running away screaming with his head in his hands, Aunt Lou was furious, anxious, and resentful. Ignoring the fact that she was still unsteady on her feet, she shouted, "Look what they've done to your second son! What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help!"

Lou Da and Jiang Shi seemed to wake from a dream and hurriedly stepped forward.

Going forward was useless.

Chunfen easily pushed Jiang Shi away, who screamed and couldn't understand how this girl was so strong. She didn't see how much force she used, yet she pushed her so far away.

Lou Da, relying on being a man, thought he was invincible, but to his surprise, he didn't even touch Liang Mingliang's clothes before being punched away by Chunfen.

Sister-in-law Zhichun said that you can use more force when hitting a man, but Chunfen was not going to be polite to him.

Lou Da couldn't believe it: "You—"

He refused to believe it and continued charging upwards.

Useless.

This time, the Spring Equinox simply kicked him so hard he fell to the ground.

Lou Er was being beaten by Liang Mingliang. Zeng Xiaoyan didn't even know how many times she kicked him or scratched him. The couple finally found a legitimate reason to beat him up, so how could they possibly hold back? After all, they had wanted to do this for a long time, but they were struggling to find a reason and couldn't easily take action.

They're relatives, after all.

One should always show some consideration.

But now, Lou Er's beating was all for nothing, and he can't even bring himself to say it out loud and ask others to judge the situation.

With such a foul mouth, who else should I beat up if not you?

Later on, Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er were no longer involved. Lou Da, having learned his lesson after his fall, whimpered and refused to go forward, pretending to be injured. Jiang rushed to help him up, calling out loudly, but to no avail.

Only Aunt Lou felt sorry for her youngest son. She tried to help while crying and scolding him, but Chunfen stood there like a pillar of strength, trying to stop him every time he came. Aunt Lou couldn't even touch her youngest son.

Aunt Lou finally gave up.

This girl is incredibly strong; she can't get past this hurdle at all, and she probably wouldn't be able to get past a few more.

Aunt Lou plopped down on the ground, pounding her fist and wailing, "Heavens above! This is outrageous! They're trying to kill someone! Zeng Shi, that's your husband! How could you be so heartless!"

Zeng Xiaoyan and Liang Mingliang finally gave up.

Zeng Xiaoyan sneered: "If you've got the guts, come at me. Lou Er is foul-mouthed and insults people. Giving him a beating was too lenient. Why are you still not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, then teach him a lesson. Is this how your Lou family raises their sons?"

Aunt Lou stared wide-eyed: "."

Xu Zhichun: "Give me four taels of silver quickly. I don't have time to waste with you."

"no!"

"You can't renege on your debt. Either I'll go to your village head, or you give him the money if you don't want it."

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhichun sneered, "Anyway, you don't like this girl, so why not give her to me at a discount? I'll take her with me, and after raising her for a couple more years, she'll be able to work."

Zeng Xiaoyan quickly gave her second sister a meaningful look.

Zeng Xiaojuan hurriedly said, "Mother, please give me the money! Qiao'er is my life, I can't abandon her."

The Lou family hated Zeng Xiaojuan intensely, and Aunt Lou hated her even more for her cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness. If it weren't for her own son, he wouldn't have suffered such a fate. A mere maidservant worth four taels of silver? What a dream! Gone, gone. What's the big deal?

"Add another four taels of silver, and you can take this brat with you if you want."

"Okay, words are no proof, let's put it in writing."

Xu Zhichun readily agreed.

Aunt Lou choked.

Xu Zhichun sneered: "What? Going back on your word? Fine, then hand over four taels of silver!"

On one hand, there's the free gift of four taels of silver, and on the other hand, there's the free gift of four taels of silver, plus the removal of an eyesore and a useless thing. Aunt Lou said, "Whoever goes back on their word, then it's settled."

The Lou family had been in business before, so they had writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones readily available.

Lou Da knows a few characters and can write a few simple strokes.

He had intended to play a trick, but Xu Zhichun was literate, so in the end he had no choice but to honestly write the correct meaning. Although the characters were written in a very messy, chicken-claw-like manner, at least the content was correct.

Once you've put your fingerprint on the document, paid the money, and received a receipt, the matter is considered closed.

From now on, Qiao'er will have nothing to do with the Lou family, no matter what.

Aunt Lou glanced at her thin, small granddaughter, whose face was streaked with tears, whose eyes were red and swollen, and a corner of her heart suddenly felt empty. The four taels of silver in her hand also felt somewhat tasteless.

Finally, the dust settled, and Zeng Xiaojuan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down completely. She couldn't help but wipe away her tears and cry out with emotion.

That's great, that's great!
Aunt Lou glared at her fiercely, assuming she was just heartbroken. Her heartbreak made her feel better; that empty melancholy vanished instantly. She gave a harsh, cold laugh: "What are you crying for! She's just a little girl, what use is she? If you cry again, I'll kick you out too!"

"Then kick me out! I want a divorce! I can't live like this anymore!" Zeng Xiaojuan collapsed to the ground, sobbing intermittently, "Qiao'er is my life! How could you do this? How could you do this? You're not letting me live!"

Although the matter has been settled, Zeng Xiaojuan still felt somewhat sad for her daughter because the Lou family had so easily given up on Qiao'er.

It's not worth it, not worth it at all.

"What did you say?"

"You want a divorce?"

The Lou family was stunned, unable to believe that the words "divorce" would come from the mouth of Zeng Xiaojuan, the most honest and simple person.

Lou Er, even with his face, which was covered in a riot of colors and looked like he owned a soy sauce shop, grimaced in pain and demanded, "Say that again?"

"I want a divorce! I want a divorce!"

Zeng Xiaojuan covered her face and cried, "I can't live without Qiao'er, I can't live without her."

Xu Zhichun had already carried Qiao'er far away and found a big tree to sit under and wait for them.

That's all she needed to do; her presence was pointless.

Anyway, the Spring Equinox can stay there to keep things in order.

"You dare! You've gone too far!"
