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

The courtyard gate was kicked and was shaking violently.

Zhao Xueyi withdrew his foot, leaned closer to Zhang Guiying, and asked in a low voice, "Mom, didn't you say we were here to reason things out? Do we need to kick the door to reason things out?"

Zhang Guiying waved her hand dismissively, "Never mind that, I have my own rhythm."

"..."

Is it okay to ignore it?

If you come to someone's territory and kick down their door, what if you get beaten up?

Seeing his mother's calm and confident demeanor, Zhao Xueyi dared not question her. He could only pray in his heart that his mother would be a civilized person.

Zhang Guiying kicked open the rickety courtyard gate and stormed into the yard.

Zhao Binghe and Zhao Xueyi followed closely, one on the left and one on the right.

Stepping into the courtyard.

Zhao Binghe spotted Zhao Chunzhi sitting next to the well in the courtyard, washing clothes.

A fire instantly ignited in my chest.

Are all the members of the Li family dead? The well water was so cold, yet they made a woman who had just given birth wash her clothes. Have they lost all their conscience?!

Remembering Zhang Guiying's instructions from yesterday, Zhao Binghe rushed over, pulled Zhao Chunzhi up, and immediately turned to yell into the house, "Li Yaozong, you get out here!"

"What did you say when you married my daughter? You said you'd treat her well!"

"My daughter just gave birth and is still in her postpartum period, and you actually made her wash her clothes with well water, including your mother's underwear! Is this how you treat my daughter, you bastard?"

Zhang Guiying deliberately made a big commotion when she arrived.

There wasn't much farm work to do this season, so when Zhao Binghe made that noise, a crowd of people craning their necks to watch the spectacle immediately gathered at the Li family's gate.

Wu Ximei blushed with embarrassment.

"Father-in-law, please don't shout, please don't shout!"

"Now you know you should have some shame? Didn't you feel embarrassed when you had your daughter wash you?"

"I didn't let Chunzhi wash it for me. She's just being filial and insisted on washing it for me. You can ask Chunzhi if you don't believe me." He said, glaring at Zhao Chunzhi to get her to speak.

His eyes were full of threats.

My father-in-law is the village chief, and he cares a lot about his reputation.

If she dares to embarrass Wu Ximei in public and let people talk about their family behind their backs, her future will only become more difficult.

Zhao Chunzhi could only lie, "Dad, I insisted on helping my mother-in-law wash."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Guiying slapped him hard across the face and yelled, "How could I have given birth to such a worthless wretch like you! I gave birth to you and raised you, and you've never treated me like this!"

"Once you get to your husband's family, you're all set! Even while you're in postpartum confinement, you still have to wash your mother-in-law's underwear. With such selfless dedication, why don't you go to Leshan, Sichuan! There's a giant Buddha there; you could make him leave and sit there instead!"

Zhao Chunzhi couldn't believe Zhang Guiying would hit her. She covered her face, speechless for a long time. "Mom..."

"Don't call me Mom! I have a cold uterus, I couldn't have given birth to a kind-hearted daughter like you. Just seeing you makes me angry. Get the hell out of my way!"

Li's father came out of the house with a sullen face, and what he saw was Zhao Chunzhi being beaten.

Mr. Li was instantly enraged.

Zhang Guiying's attack on Zhao Chunzhi's family wasn't just a slap in the face, but a blow to the reputation of the Li family. If his mother-in-law were to publicly humiliate him, how could he maintain his authority in the village?

Mr. Li strode forward, his face dark, and said, "Where does your mother-in-law get such arrogance? Coming to my house to beat and scold me, isn't that going too far?"

"It's none of your business if I hit my own daughter!"

"A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. Zhao Chunzhi is my daughter-in-law now. Even if you are her biological mother, you shouldn't beat her in my house."

"Oh, so you're admitting that Zhao Chunzhi is from your Li family?"

"Of course."

Zhang Guiying had been waiting for him to say that, so she immediately took the account book out of her pocket and threw it into Li's father's arms, saying, "Then hurry up and pay off your Li family's debts."

"I originally thought that since we're in-laws, there wouldn't be a rush. But your whole family is shameless. All these years, you've sold your pigs and cattle, built your house, and still haven't mentioned paying back the money."

"You're shameless, so we have no choice but to come to your door and demand it back."

"Take a look at the ledger, see if you agree with every single transaction. If you don't, we can have a serious discussion in front of the neighbors!"

This is a threat.

They threatened him that if he didn't admit it, they would expose the existence of Da Ni and Er Ni in public.

Mr. Li's face instantly turned ashen.

In recent years, family planning has become increasingly strict. As the village head, he led a group of people to arrest several young women and take them to the health center for abortions. He wanted the villagers to know that he was breaking the law and condoning his daughter-in-law having three children. He simply couldn't explain it to them.

Looking at the total of 2166 yuan, Li's father crumpled the account book into a flat shape.

Mr. Li had no choice but to grit his teeth and admit it, saying, "Mother-in-law, I'll take responsibility for this."

Zhang Guiying nodded, "It's good that you acknowledge the debt. It's only right to pay back debts. My family's money didn't come from thin air. Two thousand yuan is a lot of money for us."

"I have two sons who are not married yet, and there are many places in the house where money is needed. You have owed this money for several years, and it is time to pay it back now."

The villagers were shocked.

In the countryside, people rely on the meager harvest from their fields all year round. With only two or three acres of land, a family might be lucky to save a hundred yuan a year. Many of them have never even seen more than two thousand yuan.

What is the village chief doing?

How could I owe my in-laws so much money?

Seeing that neither of the two families intended to explain, the onlookers were getting increasingly anxious.

Zhang Guiying urged her to repay the money again.

Mr. Li acknowledged the debt.

But he had no intention of paying it back.

With so much money being spent, how can he possibly make a living?

Mr. Li used Zhao Chunzhi as a shield, saying, "My dear in-laws, you should have heard about my family's situation from Chunzhi. It's not that I don't want to pay back the money, it's just that we don't have any money."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that my family built a new house. We only built it because our old mud-brick house was about to collapse and it was no longer habitable! The money for building the house was borrowed from relatives and friends, and we still haven't paid them all back."

"How about this, after the corn is harvested in the fall, my family will sell the grain to get money, and then Chunzhi will deliver it to you in the city, okay?"

Zhang Guiying flatly refused, "No way!"

"You wicked old man, do you really think I don't know what you're up to? You're deliberately dragging us along. Anyway, the city and the countryside are far apart, and everyone in my family has a job. We can't come to your house to cause trouble every day."

"You keep putting it off until tomorrow, then the day after, thinking you can get away with not paying back the money? Dream on!"

"Pay back the money now! If you don't see it today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

When Li's father realized he had been exposed, he was filled with shame and anger.

Seeing that Zhang Guiying was relentless, Zhao Chunzhi immediately jumped in to help Li's father, "Mom, please stop pressuring us! I'm already annoyed enough every day, and you're just making things worse!"

"Money, money, money! Mom, are you obsessed with money?!"

"Didn't you always say that daughters and sons are the same? If they are, why are you making me pay back money for my fourth and fifth sons' weddings? Aren't I your and Dad's biological child?!"

"You've spent so much money on the eldest and third sons all these years, and I've never seen you write it down or ask them for it back. But when it comes to me, you're keeping accounts and asking for money. You're all so biased!"

Zhao Chunzhi roared angrily, "If you have the means, why can't you help me out? Are you only happy when you've driven me to my death? Are you even my parents?!"
