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

Da Ni and Er Ni were so frightened that they trembled.

He hid behind Zhao Chunzhi, clutching her clothes tightly.

Zhao Chunzhi pleaded, her voice choked with sobs, "Mom, Da Ni and Er Ni are still so young, they don't know how to cook. Please don't make things difficult for them, I'll cook lunch..."

"Who's going to hold the baby while you cook!"

Wu Ximei cursed, "You heartless bastard! I'm so old, and you expect me to take care of your child? Have you no conscience?!"

"Da Ni is seven years old, and Er Ni is five. How are they young? When Yao Zong's older sisters were that age, which one of them couldn't stand on a stool to cook?"

"Children from poor families mature early. In every household in the village, which child doesn't do some housework?"

"How dare you say they can't do anything? Whose fault is it that they can't do anything? It's all your heartless mother's fault! She raised those rural kids so pampered they can't do anything right, like they're useless!"

"I didn't care how they behaved in the city, but now that they're back home, they have to listen to me! We don't support idlers in this family. If they don't like it, they can go back to the city, and I'll pretend I don't have these two granddaughters!"

Da Ni and Er Ni were so scared that they didn't dare to make a sound even when they cried.

Zhao Chunzhi wiped away her tears, held the swaddled Sanni in one arm, and led the two older children into the kitchen with the other.

"mom!"

Da Ni hugged Zhao Chunzhi's waist and finally dared to cry out loud, "Da Ni doesn't like Grandma, Grandma is so fierce, Da Ni misses Grandma, misses Grandpa, Uncle and Aunt, waaaaah."

"Waaaaah, Erni misses Grandma and Grandpa too. Mom, Erni wants to go back to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Dad's lying. Grandpa and Grandma don't like me and my sister at all."

Zhao Chunzhi turned pale with fright.

He glanced outside the kitchen and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was in the yard.

He immediately turned around and scolded the two children, "From now on, you are not allowed to mention your maternal grandparents, uncles, or aunts at home."

"Why?"

"Your grandparents and your dad will be angry if they hear this."

"Was it because Grandma and Grandpa fought with Grandpa and Grandma?" The two children seemed to understand but not quite, but they remembered the scene of the fight very clearly.

"..."

Zhao Chunzhi's mouth was full of bitterness, and she couldn't explain it at all.

What's so special about fighting?

After the villagers filed a formal complaint that day, my father-in-law was summoned for questioning by his superiors. At the time, they only asked him to suspend his work. My father-in-law returned home anxious and upset, and has been trying to pull strings ever since.

But just a few days ago.

My father-in-law went to a meeting in town and was formally dismissed from his post.

After the family planning office confirmed that she and Li Yaozong had violated the one-child policy, they were taken to the health center and forced to undergo sterilization surgery. They could have gotten a fake sterilization by bribing the doctor.

But all the money in the house had been taken by my parents, and I had no money left to spend.

The new village head has taken office.

Coincidentally.

The newly appointed village chief has a very bad relationship with his father-in-law.

These past few days, the village head has been coming to our door every day to urge us to pay the fine for having more children than allowed. My parents-in-law said they didn't have any money. The village head said they would give them three days to raise the money.

If the 400 yuan fine is not paid within three days, the village will take coercive measures.

And tomorrow.

It's the last day of the three-day deadline.

The atmosphere at home has been very tense these past few days. Every day at mealtimes, Zhao Chunzhi avoids her father-in-law, and when the two meet, she doesn't even dare to breathe loudly.

She was afraid that her in-laws would vent their dissatisfaction with her parents on her.

Zhao Chunzhi was teaching her two children to cook, and tears kept flowing down her face.

My father-in-law is in a bad mood and stays in bed all day. Li Yaozong just had a tubal ligation and is also in bed. My mother-in-law only takes care of the livestock and doesn't care about the people.

She and her two children were left to do all the housework.

But she's still in her postpartum period and just had a tubal ligation.

Even after carrying my baby for a few steps, the surgical wound on my lower abdomen starts to ache. Because I haven't rested well, the tear in my genitals from childbirth hasn't healed yet.

When will this kind of life end?

Sanni, nestled in my arms, cried her heart out with her little mouth agape.

With a pale face, Zhao Chunzhi pressed her lower abdomen, forcing herself to breastfeed her child. Zhao Chunzhi had not taken proper care during her postpartum period and had not received adequate nutrition, resulting in insufficient milk supply.

The little girl wasn't full and started crying loudly again.

No matter how she tried to coax Zhao Chunzhi, she couldn't get through it, and she broke out in a sweat.

Wu Ximei in the courtyard started cursing even louder, "Crying, crying, crying, it's so noisy!"

"That wretched brat, all she does is cry! She's cried away all the good fortune in the Li family. She's a jinx; nothing good has ever happened to our family since she was born!"

Zhao Chunzhi didn't dare to talk back at all.

I forced myself to cook some rice cereal and fed the baby until the baby finally stopped crying.

Before Zhao Chunzhi could even breathe a sigh of relief...

Wu Ximei in the yard started cursing again, "Lazy thing, your clothes have been soaking in the basin for half a day and you still don't know how to wash them. You've ruined the whole family, and you still expect your old mother to serve you?"

This is a warning to her.

Zhao Chunzhi didn't dare to rest. She carried the sleeping child into the room and put her on the bed. "Yaozong, Sanni is asleep. Keep an eye on her. I'm going to do the laundry."

"..."

Li Yaozong, with his back to Zhao Chunzhi, acted as if he hadn't heard her and didn't give a single response.

Zhao Chunzhi gave a wry smile.

Since Li Yaozong had his tubal ligation, he hasn't paid much attention to her.

He hates her now.

Zhao Chunzhi was extremely aggrieved and choked up as she said, "Yaozong, I know you're upset... I didn't know my parents would send Da Ni and Er Ni back, and make such a big fuss that the family planning office found out we had violated the one-child policy."

"My parents are dishonest, but don't your parents bear any responsibility for this?"

When she was taken to get her tubes tied, Zhao Chunzhi also hated her parents.

But during this time, she took care of the child herself and realized how difficult it is to take care of such a tiny baby. There was an endless supply of milk to feed, countless diapers to wash, and countless nights to get up at.

Zhao Chunzhi truly felt the hardship of raising children.

My hatred for the elderly couple has dissipated considerably.

She lowered her voice and said, "If your parents had any sense of decency, would my parents have gone to such extremes?"

"The old couple takes care of our two children, but they never even visit us in the city during holidays or give the children a token amount of living expenses... It's like my parents are obligated to take care of our children."

"The money your parents have isn't their own. We've always done more work than them, just as much. Why can't we give some money to the kids?"

"Who wouldn't be angry if they had in-laws like that? My parents are already very patient; anyone else would have lost their temper long ago!"

Li Yaozong clenched his fists, his eyes reddening.

He hates it.

He hated Zhang Guiying and Zhao Binghe, and he also hated his parents.

If they weren't all selfish, he wouldn't have been forced to get a tubal ligation.

What's the difference between a man getting a vasectomy and becoming a eunuch?

He could never hold his head up again when he walked through the village.

"Yaozong, let's run!"

Zhao Chunzhi was startled when she heard this, but once the thought came to mind, she couldn't suppress it. Her heart pounded. "Your dad just lost his job, and he can't stand anything."

"We live in constant fear at home, and no matter how much work we do, we don't earn a single penny. It's better to take the kids to the city to work; maybe there'll be a way out."
