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

Zhao Xueyi was extremely anxious.

He stopped dancing, abandoned Er Mao and Chengtuo, and pedaled his bicycle with the speed of a whirlwind, finally arriving at the house rented by Lao San and Lao Si.

I didn't see the fourth brother; only the third brother and his family were home.

"Where are the third and fourth brothers?"

"..."

Zhao Chengxin sat in the main room, his shoulders slumped, pasting matchboxes with a lifeless expression. Da Bao and Xiao Bao were spared, forced by Zhang Xia to sit on stools.

Small square table.

The four of them each occupied one side of the table, and a pile of pasted matchboxes was stacked in the center.

Zhao Chengxin's expression was numb.

She finally gets a day off, but she's forced to work. Being forced to work isn't so bad, but Zhang Xia can't even bear to buy a piece of meat, and she's reluctant to spend the money she earns. What's the point of earning money then?

When will this ever end?

Zhao Chengxin turned to look at Zhao Xueyi. The fifth brother had rosy lips, white teeth, and a good complexion; it was clear he hadn't lacked meat to eat.

Also.

Mom sells braised pork now.

How can we go without meat at home?

Zhao Chengxin's eyes were practically green with envy.

After feeling envious, I started to feel resentful. My mother had four sons, and she had kicked out the eldest, him, and the fourth son, so why didn't she kick out the fifth one?

They are all sons.

Why are they still discriminating against each other?

Zhao Chengxin lifted his eyelids. "The fourth brother picked up Song Mingyu early this morning to go shopping."

"What?"

Did he just see a ghost?

Zhao Xueyi was a little anxious. "Wait... Fourth Brother went shopping with Song Mingyu? Didn't he and Song Mingyu break up? When did they make up?"

"The fourth brother has been going to see her every day lately; they've probably just made up."

"..."

Zhao Xueyi was furious.

She reconciled with Lao Si, and then went to a dance hall to dance intimately with another man. What does Song Mingyu take Lao Si for?

"What exactly do you want with Lao Si?"

"..."

Zhao Xueyi glanced at Zhang Xia but didn't say anything.

Third Sister-in-law is a big mouth; once she found out that Fourth Brother had been cuckolded, the whole village knew.

It's not something to be proud of.

Zhao Xueyi paced anxiously around the yard, waiting and waiting, until the sun had set, but he still hadn't seen Zhao Jinzhong return.

He's dead out there!

Da Bao and Xiao Bao cried out that they were hungry, but Zhang Xia seemed not to hear them. She was glued to the stool and refused to go to the kitchen to cook.

Zhao Xueyi is a clever monkey.

They realized it very quickly.

Third Sister-in-law is afraid he'll freeload at her house.

Zhao Xueyi was furious. Before the third son's family was kicked out, did he not buy food for Da Bao and Xiao Bao? He wouldn't even let them have a meal.

Just strangle her!

Zhao Xueyi couldn't wait any longer. He deliberately stood up and said, "I'll come back later. My family should be eating dinner by now. Mom said yesterday that she'd be making braised noodles with meat sauce tonight."

Seeing his three children, Da Bao and Xiao Bao, drooling, Zhao Xueyi felt instantly relieved. "Let's go home and eat some meat!"

Da Bao's mouth was watering. "Mom, I want to eat meat sauce noodles too."

Xiao Bao's eyes were practically green with envy. "Mom, I want to eat meat sauce noodles too!"

Zhao Chengxin also stared longingly at Zhang Xia.

Zhang Xia slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Why are you eating meat sauce noodles? Where are you going to get the money to buy meat? I'll go make some noodles and cold noodles, mix them with fermented soybeans, and they'll be just as good as meat sauce noodles."

It's fermented soybeans again!

Zhao Chengxin was disgusted by the fermented soybeans. "Can fermented soybeans taste the same as meat sauce?"

Zhang Xia glared at her, "If you want to eat meat, go ask your parents for money. Didn't I say that as long as you return our 4700 yuan, I will buy you meat?"

Zhao Chengxin immediately shut up.

Asking his parents for money is no different from courting death.

……

While Zhao Xueyi was waiting for Zhao Jinzhong in the village, Zhao Jinzhong was carrying heavy bags at the dock.

Zhao Jinzhong was overjoyed to receive a kiss from Song Mingyu. After grinning foolishly for a long time, he felt full of energy and immediately decided to go to the dock to work.

I started carrying heavy bags at 2 p.m. and continued until the sun went down at 7 p.m. My white vest was soaked with sweat countless times.

Five whole hours.

Zhao Jinzhong wiped his face, his solid arm muscles, and even his abdominal muscles, and felt a layer of fine white salt particles.

"Jinzhong, the bill is ready."

"They're here."

Temporary workers are paid daily, and Zhao Jinzhong received four yuan.

Zhao Jinzhong has been strong since childhood and has a big appetite. He was so hungry on the way home that he couldn't stand it anymore. He originally wanted to buy some braised meat to take home and eat.

But considering that there was still 1470 yuan to pay back, I held back.

I spent four cents to buy a cucumber and preserved egg salad with perilla, and then bought a large bowl of cold noodles from a roadside vendor for three cents a bowl, intending to eat it with the salad at home.

When they arrived at the rented room, Zhao Chengxin and his family of four were having dinner.

Dinner was noodles with fermented soybeans, which Zhao Chengxin was about to throw up from. Seeing Zhao Jinzhong return, Zhao Chengxin greeted him, "Fourth brother's back?"

Just as she was about to call him over to eat with her, Zhang Xia stomped on his foot under the table.

"..."

The words that were about to come out were abruptly changed: "You weren't supposed to work today, so why are you only getting back now?"

"He went to do temporary work."

Zhao Chengxin slurped his noodles, "Lao Wu came looking for you this afternoon. It seems he had something to do. He waited for you in the yard all afternoon."

Zhao Jinzhong was taken aback. "What does he want with me?"

"I don't know if he didn't say."

"Okay, I'll go ask him after I finish eating."

While Zhao Jinzhong went to the kitchen to get a plastic ladle, the four of them had already sped up their meal and cleared away the dishes.

Zhao Jinzhong was so angry he laughed.

When they lived together before, it wasn't obvious that his parents paid for living expenses and cooked for him. But after sharing a place with the third son's family, Zhao Jinzhong truly experienced Zhang Xia's stinginess.

Zhao Jinzhong has seen stingy people.

Some people are only stingy with themselves, but very generous to their husbands and children; others are only stingy with others, but very willing to spend money on themselves.

Zhang Xia does not fall into either of these two categories.

She was equally stingy with everyone, including herself.

They couldn't bear to eat, drink, or wear anything nice; they wished they could saw their money into a string.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao are naughty, and their summer clothes are thin, so Zhang Xia couldn't bear to throw them away when they got worn out. She bought scraps of cloth to patch them up, patching them one patch after another.

The same applies to adults' clothes.

The third brother's white vest was so see-through that it revealed his nipples, but Zhang Xia couldn't bear to spend money to buy him a new one... A white vest only costs one yuan, and the third brother earns more than seventy yuan a month.

How can life be the same no matter who you live with?

Thinking of Song Mingyu, Zhao Jinzhong felt a surge of passion... but then he remembered her conditions for marrying him, and his spirits dampened. Two thousand yuan in dowry, three large items of furniture, and an apartment.

Not to mention his parents' objections, Zhao Jinzhong himself felt that the request was excessive.

But Mingyu was angry...

The noodles in my mouth had lost all their flavor.

"hiss!"

Looking up, Zhao Jinzhong saw Da Bao and Xiao Bao lying on the square table, drooling over the preserved eggs and cucumbers in the water ladle. He sighed and said, "Go to the kitchen and get some bowls. I'll give you two some vegetables to eat."

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle!"

The two children ran quickly to the kitchen and then quickly ran back with the bowls in their hands.

Zhao Jinzhong gave all the preserved eggs and cucumbers to the two children. The two children's eyes gleamed with envy, and they ate without even looking up. After the meal, Zhao Jinzhong was about to go find Zhao Xueyi when Zhao Xueyi had already run over.

"Fourth brother, you're finally back! Come out with me right now!"
