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

Chapter 37 The Battle Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law

"Mom, are you full?"

Zhang Xia leaned over and handed the enamel mug to Zhang Guiying, saying, "You ate quite a bit of meat just now, so I specially made you a cup of chrysanthemum tea to help you digest."

"Oh, the third son's wife is so thoughtful."

Seeing that her mother was in a good mood, Zhang Xia laid out the groundwork for a while before finally getting to the point: "Mom, I heard that with the implementation of four policies, after October 1st, children will no longer be able to take over their parents' jobs."

"You'll be retiring in a little over a year. I'm thinking, a year earlier or later won't make much difference. Why don't you pass the job on to me before the policy is implemented? Otherwise, your job opening will be wasted if you wait until you retire."

"Mom, don't worry. If you give me the job, Chengxin and I will definitely take good care of you and Dad, and we'll buy you meat every day from now on!"

Zhang Guiying took a sip of tea, glanced at him sideways, and asked, "What, if I don't give you the job, you'll stop being filial to me and your father?"

"..."

If it weren't for work...

Who would humbly serve this old hag?

The job isn't in my hands yet, it's not time to turn against each other.

Zhang Xiaqiang said with a smile, "Mom, what I mean is, if I take over your job, I can earn money, and with money in my hands, I can better take care of you and Dad."

Zhang Guiying patted her chest, "You scared me! I thought you were going to abandon me and your father just because you didn't give us the job."

"How could that be?"

"Mom knew you weren't that kind of person."

Zhang Guiying changed the subject, "But you're too late. My job was sold yesterday."

"What?"

Zhang Xia jumped three feet high, her voice rising eight octaves, "Sold?"

"yes."

Zhang Guiying knew Zhang Xia would react this way.

Watching Zhang Xia change her expression faster than a Sichuan opera mask, Zhang Guiying felt incredibly satisfied. She happily repeated, "It was sold yesterday."

"Mom, you're kidding me..."

"Who's joking with you? I sold them at your Aunt Meifeng's house next door the day before yesterday. There were so many people there, it was quite a commotion, didn't you know?"

He slapped his thigh and said, "Oh dear, I forgot what time you were picking up the kids. This is such a mess, I thought you knew."

Zhang Xia's face trembled. "Mom, are you telling the truth?"

"Really? You can ask your dad if you don't believe me. Oh, Qiuzhi knows too. I processed my medical retirement at Qiuzhi Hospital."

Zhang Xia immediately looked at Zhao Binghe and Zhao Qiuzhi.

Seeing that both of them nodded, Zhang Xia staggered, her anger rising to the top of her head.

Why did she endure humiliation and try to please Zhang Guiying?

It was all for her job.

But now.

The money was spent.

I lost my job.

Gone!

Zhang Xia's eyes were bloodshot, and her rationality collapsed instantly. She frantically grabbed Zhang Guiying's clothes and screamed, "Who told you to sell me! That's my job, my job!"

"Did you sell my job with my permission?! Who did you sell it to? Go and get it back for me!"

"I gave you two grandsons, I deserve credit for that even if I didn't do anything special, I still worked hard for you! You old hag, you'd rather sell your job than give it to me! Ugh, I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhang Xia's eyes reddened, and she flailed as if to hit Zhang Guiying.

You even dared to lay a hand on her!

Enraged, Zhang Guiying slapped him across the face, yelling, "Your job? When did my job become yours? I can sell my job whenever I want, do I need your permission?"

"You always brag about having two sons. Every woman can have children, what's there to be proud of!"

"And you even gave birth to those two brats? Did I poke them into your belly? And they took my surname? You've had your fun, and now you're trying to curry favor with me with the kids? Bah!"

"I've been supporting them for years, and you actually think they're my responsibility!"

Zhang Xia, her face flushed, grabbed Zhang Guiying's hair and angrily scolded, "Da Bao and Xiao Bao are your own grandsons, they call you grandma, so you should support them financially, otherwise you don't deserve to be their grandma!"

Zhang Guiying grabbed the stool she was sitting on and slammed it down on him, yelling, "You gave birth to your own child and you don't even raise him? Do you even deserve to be a mother?"

"What's wrong with being a wet nurse? Does being a wet nurse mean you should die? Those two kids have a father and a mother, why should I have to support them? I raised Zhao Chengxin, wasn't that enough? Now I have to raise your kids too? You're like a toad yawning, you have such a big mouth!"

"No pockmarks on your face, but plenty of ideas. Has your brain ever swum like a fish or been a donkey? It must be full of shit to spout such nonsense!"

"I've been supporting you for years, and you've spoiled yourselves rotten! If you can afford to raise them, then raise them; if not, just send them to an orphanage!"

He was cursing under his breath.

His hands didn't stop moving.

The stool slammed down on Zhang Xia, causing her to scream in pain. She grabbed the stool from the ground to retaliate, but by then the others in the yard had already reacted and were not about to let Zhang Guiying be beaten.

Zhao Xiazhi clung tightly to Zhang Xia's waist.

Zhao Qiuzhi snatched the stool from her hand and threw it on the ground.

"Aaaaaah!"

Unable to hit Zhang Guiying, Zhang Xia, like a crazed zombie, kept flailing her limbs and hitting Zhao Xiazhi and Zhao Qiuzhi. Zhao Xiazhi didn't fight back, but Zhao Qiuzhi wasn't one to take a loss lying down, and she slapped Zhang Xia in return.

Seeing his wife being beaten, Zhao Chengxin rushed over angrily, pushed the two sisters aside, and shielded Zhang Xia behind him, saying, "What kind of people are you three for bullying my wife?"

He rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you're so capable, then fight me."

Zhao Qiuzhi burst into a tirade, "Are you blind? Didn't you see she hit Mom first? If my sixth sister and I hadn't stopped her, that stool of hers would have smashed into Mom's head!"

"A daughter-in-law hitting her mother-in-law? Ask the neighbors, is there any justice in this world? You don't say anything to your wife, but you have the nerve to curse us. No wonder Zhang Xia is so arrogant, it's all because you spoiled her!"

Zhao Chengxin was so angry that he wanted to hit Zhao Qiuzhi.

Zhang Guiying pulled Zhao Qiuzhi behind her and slapped her across the face. "You wanted to hit me? Come on, if you've got the guts, hit me! Let the neighbors all see what kind of beast I've raised!"

The noise had already attracted the attention of the neighbors.

Some people peeked through the crack in the door, while others climbed over the wall and sat on top of it.

Zhao Chengxin, of course, wouldn't dare hit his own mother in front of so many people. He roared, "Mom, you sold your job without even discussing it with us! How dare you? You know our family has a heavy burden, why can't you help us out a bit more!"

"Shouldn't a family help each other? We're not ungrateful. We'll repay you when you and Dad get old. Why did you have to make things like this!"

This makes a lot of sense at first glance.

The young people watching nodded in agreement.

Zhang Guiying slapped him again, yelling as she exposed the truth, "It's my own job, why should I discuss it with you!"

"You say your father and I don't help you? When you returned to the city as an educated youth, didn't your father and I pay for your job? The four of you eat and live at our house, and we've never contributed a single penny to your living expenses? You won't spend a penny of your own salary, and you live on the 15 yuan I give you each month. How much more should your father and I support you?"

"Do you expect us old bones to render oil for you before you're satisfied? You turn against me when you don't get anything in return, and you still have the nerve to say you know what's good for you!"

"Expecting you to repay me? You'd be more likely to beat me and your father up!"
