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

run?

Li Yaozong was somewhat tempted.

But he quickly gave up on the idea.

He was just a farmer who hadn't attended school for long and barely knew any characters. He didn't know anything except farming. What could he do in the city?

Everything costs money in the city.

We don't have a penny at home right now, and we can't exactly live under a bridge after moving to the city.

He could stay at his father-in-law's house before they fell out, but now that the two families have broken off relations, he'd rather live under a bridge than swallow his pride and stay there.

Zhao Chunzhi knew Li Yaozong's inner conflict. "You just had your tubal ligation done. Now that we've earned some money, we can go to the city hospital to have it done again. Then we can continue to have children."

"..."

Correct.

The hospital can still perform the injection.

He's not completely finished yet.

Li Yaozong's emotions finally wavered. "You make it sound so easy. If making money in the city were so easy, everyone in the village would be going. Do you think we'd have a chance?"

"Our family of five is all moving to the city. Da Ni and Er Ni need to go to school, and you have to take care of the little one. If I'm the only one earning money, it's a question of whether I can support the whole family."

He sat up abruptly. "How about this, we leave the three kids in the village and the two of us go to the city to work. If two people earn money, we can at least save enough for one person's salary."

Zhao Chunzhi hesitated. "Your parents dislike the three children so much, how can you be good to them?"

Li Yaozong retorted irritably, "How dare you talk like that? No matter how bad they are, they are still my parents. Do you think my parents would starve to death? They'll always have something to eat."

"..."

Zhao Chunzhi was still worried and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let me think about it some more."

They were talking.

Wu Ximei outside started cursing again.

Zhao Chunzhi becomes highly nervous whenever she hears her parents-in-law's voices. She dares not stay in the house any longer and quickly goes to the yard to wash clothes.

The clothes were halfway through washing.

The newly appointed village chief came to the door with his men again. "Li Gui, Wu Ximei, tomorrow is the deadline for paying the fine. I'm telling you this one last time. If you don't pay by tomorrow, I won't be so polite."

Li's father came out of the house with a livid face. "Li Tiedan, don't push your luck!"

"Who bullied you?"

Li Tiedan said with a blank face, "Your family should have been fined for having more children than allowed. The 400 yuan fine wasn't set by me. I was just following the regulations and policies from above."

Act in accordance with policies.

This is what Li's father used to say most often when he was the village head.

Now that he'd been retorted with those words, Li's father was furious. "Li Tiedan, don't make a big deal out of nothing! My family has no money; we can't afford this fine!"

"You think you're right just because you have no money?"

Li Tiedan cursed, "If you don't have money, then keep your son's penis in check and prevent your son and daughter-in-law from doing that kind of thing."

"Don't try to fool me. If you don't have money, you still have livestock. If you can't pay the fine by tomorrow, I'll have the villagers take all your pigs, sheep, chickens, and ducks to town to sell to pay off the fine." Selling livestock to pay off the fine was inspired by Zhang Guiying.

"You dare!"

"You'll see if I dare!"

Li Tiedan, newly appointed as the village head, was just looking for an opportunity to establish his authority. He made a threatening statement: "Now everyone in the village knows your family has violated the one-child policy. If you don't pay the fine, no one else will either. If no one pays, how can I continue my work?"

"For the sake of being from the same village, I'll give you one more day to raise the money. If you don't pay the fine to the village committee by 3 p.m. tomorrow, then I'm sorry."

"You've made things difficult for me first, so don't blame me for turning against you."

The village chief left after uttering some harsh words.

Wu Ximei was frantic, pacing back and forth. "Yaozong's father, our cow is gone, and only a pig and two sheep are still worth something. They're going to take the pig and sheep away. How are we going to survive?"

"..."

Mr. Li was so angry that he trembled all over.

If he had known this would happen, he should have mortgaged the livestock to Zhang Guiying earlier, so that he could at least keep some money in his hands.

No.

If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted and kept Da Ni and Er Ni when they were born. If it weren't for these two children, none of this mess would have happened.

No children?

Li's father's anger suddenly subsided.

Yes.

If it weren't for Sanni, there would only be two girls in the family, so it wouldn't be considered an over-birth and there would be no fine.

Mr. Li instantly had an idea.

After glancing at Zhao Chunzhi washing clothes by the well, Li's father pulled Wu Ximei out the door and found a secluded spot. "Go inside and take Sanni out, then throw her into the river."

Wu Ximei's face turned pale. "No, that won't do... After all, she's Yaozong's own daughter. I think Yaozong really likes that little brat. If he finds out, he'll definitely make a scene."

Li's father, his face dark with anger, cursed, "If he likes it, why doesn't he pay the fine himself? Li Tiedan was making such a racket in the yard just now, why didn't he come out and say a word?"

"How could I possibly earn four hundred yuan? Does he think my money grows on trees?"

"Just keep throwing it. If anyone sees it, they'll say they accidentally fell into the water. Li Yaozong and Zhao Chunzhi have the nerve to mess with me. I'll beat them to death."

Zhang Guiying is feisty.

Previously, Li's father was somewhat wary of him.

Now that Zhao Chunzhi has fallen out with her family, what else does he have to worry about?

Thinking of Zhang Guiying, Li's father felt even more hatred and urged Wu Ximei, "Hurry up, after the child drowns, I'll go to town and tell Zhang Guiying the child is gone!"

"If she hadn't brought Da Ni and Er Ni to make a scene, this child wouldn't have died. I want Zhang Guiying to know that she killed this child, that she's carrying the burden of a murder. I want to see if she can live with herself for the rest of her life!"

Wu Ximei was a little scared.

Mr. Li glared at him, "Go now!"

Wu Ximei trembled and quickly went into the courtyard.

Li's father then instructed, "Find an excuse to take the child out, but don't let Li Yaozong and Zhao Chunzhi find out anything is wrong. Tell them after the child is gone."

Wu Ximei's heart pounded like thunder. "I know, I know."

Wu Ximei entered the courtyard in a panic.

She stood absentmindedly in the yard for a while, and soon heard Sanni crying loudly inside the house.

Zhao Chunzhi shook the water off her hands and was about to go inside to comfort the child when Wu Ximei stopped her, saying, "Don't be lazy, wash your clothes! I'm going inside to check on things."

When Wu Ximei pushed open the door and entered the room, Li Yaozong was holding the child and frantically trying to soothe him.

"Mom, why is this child crying so much?"

"If the baby you're holding isn't feeling well, how can she not cry?"

Wu Ximei took the child from him and said to Li Yaozong, "You just had surgery and you're still weak. Rest well. I'll take the child outside and comfort him."

Li Yaozong wanted to foster a bond between the grandmother and grandson, so he let Wu Ximei take the child away.

Wu Ximei carried the child into the hospital.

"Mom, the baby might be hungry, let me feed him."

"What are you hungry for? You just fed me a little while ago!"

"Then check if you've peed or pooped..."

"Who do you think you are, me or you?!" Wu Ximei snapped. "If you keep babbling, I'll never touch that brat again!"

Zhao Chunzhi immediately fell silent.

Wu Ximei carried the child outside, saying, "Wash your clothes. I'll take the child outside for a walk. Once he sees something new, he should stop fussing."

Done.

Before Zhao Chunzhi could speak, he hurriedly picked up the child and left.
