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

Chapter 156 Shameless

Xu Zhichun sneered: "Because you are not worthy."

"Try saying something again!"

"You don't deserve it."

"This is outrageous!" Zhang was furious and charged at Xu Zhichun with her arms raised.

As a result, Xu Zhichun remained calm and didn't even move an inch. Chunfen simply raised her hand and easily pushed Zhang Shi aside.

Zhang was furious: "You dare to lay a hand on me!"

"Didn't you strike first? Besides, I didn't lay a hand on you."

Bai said, "Zhichun, we're all family, so let's sit down and talk things over. Let's go inside."

Xu Zhichun: "No need. From the moment you all conspired to force me to remarry, we could never be a family again. Besides, we already separated long ago, so there's no need to sit down and talk it over. I'll be frank: I don't welcome you."

"you!"

"Say what you have to say here."

Liang Cuier glared fiercely at Xu Zhichun. Although the whole affair had turned out alright, and she had ultimately escaped a terrible fate by not marrying a scoundrel like Lian Laosi, the entire process was truly terrifying and disgusting. Moreover, her reputation was ruined as a result, transforming her from an innocent young woman into someone practically a remarried woman.

This made her increasingly angry and resentful.

Mingming was terrified and prayed to God that she would do anything as long as she didn't have to marry that scoundrel, Lian Laosi.

But once you achieve your goal, you can't help but want more.

She was powerless to change the past, powerless to change the present, and was plunged into despair and sorrow for the future. The selfishness in her genes made her naturally take her anger out on Xu Zhichun and hate him.

If it weren't for Xu Zhichun, she wouldn't have encountered all that terrible thing.

Why can't she, a widow, remarry? Why did they have to hurt her like that?

After that day, Liang Cuier's hatred for Xu Zhichun grew stronger day by day, especially when her second aunt comforted her with the same words, which made her resent Xu Zhichun even more justifiable.

At that moment, his eyes darted around, and he quietly moved to the back, intending to sneak into Xu Zhichun's room when no one was looking.

Chunfen was very obedient to Chun's sister-in-law and kept a close eye on them. Liang Cuier had only run a few steps when Chunfen grabbed her and pushed her back.

"what are you doing!"

"Sister-in-law Zhichun said you're not allowed to come in. You can't go in."

"This is our family matter, what's it to you? Why are you interfering? Have you no shame?"

Liang Cuier was furious and embarrassed.

Chunfen was neither embarrassed nor guilty, and she would not back down even a step because of this. She said with a straight face: "Sister-in-law Zhichun does not allow you to enter the house."

The two branches of the Liang family looked disgusted, so what they meant was: Don't you have any shame?
Of course, the Spring Equinox will only speak directly and will not make any explicit or implicit statements, mockery, or digressions. However, this unintentional truth is doubly damaging, making people feel ashamed and angry.

Zhang retorted angrily, "Stop arguing with her! I'm asking you, how much money do you actually earn a day selling that tofu in town? Two hundred coins? Three hundred coins? How much exactly?!"

When Zhang mentioned this, everyone from both families changed their expressions. They glared at Xu Zhichun like cockroaches, as if she had stolen something that belonged to them. If her answer didn't meet their expectations, they would rush up and tear her to pieces in the next second.

Even Uncle Liang, who usually put on airs and acted dignified, and Madam Bai, who was always smiling, calm, and incredibly kind, became emotionally volatile.

Two hundred or three hundred coins a day!

If they can earn this much money in a day, how much would they earn in a month? How much in a year? They probably can't even calculate it, let alone dare to think about it.

No wonder they reacted like that. If they knew that Xu Zhichun could earn nearly three taels of silver a day by selling braised meat as well, they would probably go crazy.

Xu Zhichun was glad she made that choice. Fortunately, she had Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er as partners, otherwise the two families would have really torn her apart without any scruples.

Where did you hear that from?

"So you really made that much in one day?"

Where did you hear that from?

"Xu, you wicked woman who betrays your own people! It's unreasonable to side with outsiders instead of your own family. Tomorrow we'll go to town with you, and this business must be split equally. No, you've been selling for so long, starting tomorrow we get the lion's share!"

"So that's why she had the money to build such a grand brick house and buy so much land. We've been fooled by her all along."

"It's settled then!"

"Where did you get that information from?"

"Did you hear that?"

“I’m asking you, where did you get this information from? Also, my family’s affairs have nothing to do with you. We don’t need any manpower right now, so there’s no need to bother you.”

"I can't help you!"

“You can rob me outright, I want to see if our Liangjia Village can tolerate robbers.”

Who are you calling a robber?

"Who is who knows who is who. If the village head and the elders don't stand up for me, I don't mind taking it to court and asking Lord Lu to decide. Lord Lu is a good official, and I don't believe he would award my nephew's wife's belongings to my eldest and second uncles who have already divided the family property. What do you think?"

Both families were furious.

He came to her full of anger, resentment, and even grievances to confront her and settle scores, only to be threatened in return? Is there no justice in this world?

Uncle Liang said coldly, "Mrs. Xu, it won't do you any good to make things too tense. Why don't we each take a step back and have our two families each take a share?"

"As elders, you each have your own large families. You can't do anything else, but how dare you bully my sister-in-law and me, who depend on each other for survival?"

"Don't put it so harshly, Xu Shi. Do you think you can keep it all if everyone in the village knows how much money you're making? There are plenty of envious people out there. Who knows what might happen? If you know what's good for you, you should know that only with our help can you stay safe."

"Correct!"

Xu Zhichun was about to laugh at their shamelessness.

"I think you've misunderstood something. I'm just helping out with a small matter; this business deal wasn't my decision. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

The two families looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ah, this—

You know what, it actually sounds like it makes some sense.
At first, they were blinded by the promise of two or three hundred coins a day. In their haste and anger, they couldn't think of anything else but their anger and the desire to get a share of the profits. So they rushed over to question them.

But thinking about it more closely, it seems absurd.

It's obvious, how could Xu Zhichun know such a way to make money? If she had such great abilities, they would have been able to fly to the heavens long ago!

Therefore, the truth is quite obvious.

This business must belong to Zeng Xiaoyan.

Hey everyone, if you have any monthly passes, please give me some!
