Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

on the way home.

Zhao Xiazhi silently shed tears.

Zhang Guiying got angry when she saw her like this, "Even a two-legged toad is harder to find than Yu Cheng, and that ugly thing is not worth your tears."

"Mom, it's not because of Yu Cheng... I feel like I was blind and heartless. Yu Cheng said he would treat me well, work hard, and give me a good life in the future, and let me ride in a four-wheeled vehicle... I actually believed him."

"Yu Cheng didn't lie to you either."

Zhao Binghe had a premonition that Zhang Guiying wouldn't say anything nice, and sure enough, the thought had barely formed when he heard his wife say venomously, "After getting married, two wheels become three wheels, plus the old one, that makes four wheels."

Zhao Xiazhi, "..."

Zhao Qiuzhi, "..."

Zhao Xueyi, clutching the tape recorder, twitched his lips violently. "Mom, did you grow up drinking pesticide? Your mouth is too venomous."

"What, you want to try a bite?"

Zhao Xueyi, fearing he would get himself into trouble, frantically shook his head and backed away.

Zhao Binghe nudged Zhang Guiying's arm with his elbow and whispered, "Alright, alright, stop talking. The child is feeling really upset."

"It's good that you feel bad; otherwise, you won't learn your lesson."

Even so, when speaking to Zhao Xiazhi again, his tone was much gentler. "We have something on the Yu family. Yu Cheng probably wouldn't dare to spread rumors about you in the factory, but that toad looks narrow-minded. He wouldn't dare to openly cause trouble for you, but he'll definitely try to trip you up behind your back."

He then turned to Zhao Xueyi and instructed him, "The soap factory and the bus station are in the same direction. During this period, you should go to and from get off work with Xia Zhi."

"..."

It is him again!

He never expects good things, but he's the one who suffers all the hardships.

Zhao Xueyi had a long face.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiazhi quickly said, "Mom, Fifth Brother doesn't need to accompany me. I go to and from get off work with my girlfriends from the factory. Yu Cheng wouldn't dare to do anything."

Zhang Guiying glared at Zhao Xueyi, then turned to Zhao Xiazhi and said, "You can't be too careful. Yu Chenggang suffered such a big loss, he must be upset. Let your fifth brother pick you up and drop you off for a while, otherwise your father and I won't feel at ease."

Zhao Binghe, pushing his bicycle, chimed in, "Fifth brother, Xia Zhi, listen to your mother."

The brother and sister fell silent.

Zhang Guiying glanced at Zhao Xiazhi, her tears dried, but her eyes were still red and she was in low spirits. It was no wonder she was upset, having encountered such a scumbag on her first date.

Zhang Guiying didn't rush home. She lagged behind and walked alongside Zhao Xiazhi, saying, "Yu Cheng finally found someone as silly as you. He might even pester you for forgiveness or something."

"mom!"

Zhao Xiazhi suddenly looked up and said resolutely, "I will not forgive that liar!"

Zhang Guiying felt somewhat relieved.

I pulled the two sisters aside and taught them, "You two remember this: if you find out your partner is unreliable when you're dating, you absolutely cannot be soft-hearted and give him a second chance."

"Giving him a second chance is like giving him a second bullet to make up for the regret of not killing you with the first shot."

"Old habits die hard, and you can never change a man. There are millions of men in the world; if he doesn't treat you well, just find another one!"

"You two are still young, so be more selective. What's that saying again... oh, quantity determines quality! The more you date, the less luck you'll have, the more likely you are to meet someone good."

Zhao Binghe became increasingly uneasy as he listened, and with a dark face, he stopped Zhang Guiying, saying, "What kind of teaching is this? Who teaches their child to date multiple people? It'll sound terrible if word gets out."

This old man.

They still hold onto those outdated and pedantic ideas!

Zhang Guiying snapped, "Is saving face more important than substance?"

"I'm not teaching my kids to cheat! If they don't choose carefully, what's the point of getting married, having kids, and then divorcing if life isn't going well?"

"When you go to the market to buy vegetables, you pick and choose the freshest ones. Why can't you compare prices before dating? My daughter has a job and is good-looking. Why should she settle for something as important as marriage?!"

"..."

Zhao Binghe scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "That sounds... kind of reasonable, doesn't it?"

"What I said certainly makes sense!"

Zhang Guiying then turned to her two daughters, saying, "Marrying someone of high social standing means swallowing needles, marrying someone of low social standing means being abused. When getting married, you should not only consider the other person's family and character, but also their conditions. It's best to be well-matched in terms of social status, so that no one takes advantage of the other."

Zhao Xiazhi seemed to be deep in thought.

Pushing her bicycle, Zhao Qiuzhi humbly asked, "Mom, everyone has flaws. Finding a perfect partner in every way is probably harder than climbing to heaven."

Zhang Guiying rolled her eyes. "Who told you to find perfect partners? Nobody's perfect, and nobody's good at everything."

Zhang Guiying patiently explained, "When choosing a man, the first thing to consider is emotional stability; he shouldn't lose his temper easily. Secondly, he should be capable and responsible, able to solve problems when they arise."

"If these two conditions are met, it's basically good enough. Other minor shortcomings can be tolerated. In short, stick to principles on important matters and learn to be flexible on minor matters."

"The most, most, most important point is: love yourself before loving others! If you don't even love yourself, who will care about your well-being? If you have thorns, others will be more considerate of your feelings; if you're soft and yielding, everyone will want to rub you—how comfortable that would be!"

These words were meant for Zhao Xiazhi.

Of the whole family, she has the gentlest and most meek personality.

Zhao Xiazhi knew her mother meant well, so she took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I'll try my best to change in the future."

"Yes, I'll learn more from Akie in the future."

Zhang Guiying felt a little relieved. She took the money Yu Ying had paid as compensation from her pocket and stuffed it into Zhao Xiazhi's hand. "This money is from the Yu family. Keep it safe."

"Mom, I don't want to!"

"Just accept it as I told you to."

Zhang Guiying said with a stern face, "This is the compensation you deserve."

Zhao Xiazhi looked at Zhao Binghe pleadingly. Zhao Binghe said, "If your mother gives it to you, just take it. This money was originally compensation for you."

Seeing her struggle, Zhao Xueyi's eyes reddened with envy. He clung to the tape recorder and eagerly approached, "Xia Zhi, don't you want to give it to Fifth Brother? Fifth Brother is a little short on money lately."

"..."

Zhao Xiazhi's expression was indescribable. "Fifth Brother, when have you ever not been short of money?"

The words were spoken.

He simply stuffed the money into his pocket, which infuriated Zhao Xueyi, who yelled in anger.

Zhang Guiying kicked him in the butt, and the whole world instantly became quiet.

Scorching sun.

The whole family ate their meal on the street and rode their bikes home.

Back home, Zhao Binghe unlocked the gate and Zhang Guiying saw Lin Yongkang, the husband of the fat woman across the alley, crouching down and sticking out his buttocks, sneaking back in the alley.

"Lin Yongkang, what are you doing?"

"what!"

The sudden noise startled the man so much that he jumped three feet high. Turning his head, he saw Zhang Guiying and her whole family standing at the door. Lin Yongkang was so frightened that he patted his chest and said, "Guiying, what are you shouting for? You scared me to death!"

"If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."

Zhang Guiying narrowed her eyes. "You're so guilty, what shameful thing have you done behind Fatty's back?"
