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

Wu Ximei hurriedly left the house with her child in her arms.

It was too hot, so the villagers gathered under the shade of the trees to chat. They were talking about Li Yaozong's family, who had been the source of all the excitement in the village lately.

Upon seeing Wu Ximei, the aunties and older women exchanged glances. "Oh, Yaozong's mother is out? The one in your arms must be your daughter-in-law's new granddaughter."

The aunt said sarcastically, "Your family is so lucky to have three big wine jars. When Yaozong gets old, you won't have to worry about not having daughters to buy wine for you."

Wu Ximei glared at her aunt and walked away grumbling.

Don't wait until everyone is far away.

The auntie curled her lip and started cursing loudly, "That Li Gui did something inhumane and harmed someone's grandson! He's a despicable scoundrel, no wonder his family never gets a grandson!"

"Absolutely, this is karma!"

The aunties and older women present all joined in the cursing.

When Li's father was in office, he offended many people. Now that he has been removed from his position as village secretary, the villagers are no longer afraid to offend him and are hurling extremely offensive insults.

Hearing the curses behind her, Wu Ximei quickened her pace in anger.

It's all Zhang Guiying's fault!

If it weren't for Zhang Guiying, she would still be the village chief's wife. Anyone in the village who had a problem with her would have to keep it to themselves; no one would dare to openly curse her like that.

The baby in her arms kept crying.

Wu Ximei was even more annoyed.

Wu Ximei braved the scorching sun to reach the village pond.

The pond is located in the middle of the village and is where the whole village releases fish. Every year before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the village organizes people to catch fish and distribute them to each household.

The pond was deep and surrounded by weeds.

Wu Ximei stood on the shore holding her child, her heart pounding with anxiety. "Little girl, don't blame your grandma. Blame it on the fact that you're not a boy."

Make sure no one is around.

Wu Ximei gritted her teeth and hardened her heart, throwing the child, still in swaddling clothes, into the pond.

……

yard.

Zhao Chunzhi's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

She hung the clothes out to dry, and the two children had prepared lunch, but Wu Ximei still hadn't returned.

Zhao Chunzhi couldn't wait any longer and took a few steps outside. When Li's father saw this, he scolded her, "It's almost lunchtime, where are you going? A woman in confinement carries bad luck, don't go around visiting people and annoy them."

"..."

Zhao Chunzhi paused, hunched her shoulders, and said, "Dad, I'm not going to visit other people's houses. My mom took Sanni out, and it's almost lunchtime. I'll go out and look for her."

"Your mother doesn't know the way? Do you need to find her?"

Mr. Li scolded with a stern face, "You know it's time to eat, so why aren't you going to the kitchen to get the food? What, are you waiting for your mother to come back and serve you?"

Zhao Chunzhi was so scolded that she didn't dare to lift her head.

Pressing down his wildly twitching eyelids, he was about to head to the kitchen when a panicked scream came from outside the yard, "Yaozong, Chunzhi, something terrible has happened... Your Sanni has fallen into the village pond! You two hurry and go check on her!"

Zhao Chunzhi's mind went blank for a moment. "How is Sanni? How is she?"

"I don't know!"

The messenger was so anxious that he slapped his thigh repeatedly, "I'm here to deliver this message, you all need to go and check it out right away!"

Zhao Chunzhi staggered as she rushed out.

Hearing the commotion, Li Yaozong, who was inside the house, also ran out with a pale face.

Even Da Ni and Er Ni ran out, but Li's father remained as steady as an old dog, not moving an inch. The young man who brought the news was covered in sweat. "Uncle Li, aren't you going to go and see? That's your own granddaughter!"

"..."

eventful!

If the little girl drowns, so be it.

And they even made such a big commotion.

But that's alright.

Everyone in the village knew the little girl was gone, so Li Tiedan wouldn't come to collect the fines anymore.

Li's father walked slowly toward the pond with his hands behind his back. When he arrived, the pond bank was surrounded by people, and Zhao Chunzhi's heart-wrenching cries could be heard from within.

It should be a sure thing.

Mr. Li relaxed.

Just as I was about to push through the crowd, I heard a baby cry out.

"It's alive! It's alive!"

Someone in the crowd cheered, "The water is coming out, the child is alive!"

Mr. Li's expression changed, and he quickly pushed through the crowd and rushed into the throng. He saw Sanni crying loudly in the arms of village doctor Li Ping'an. The child was naked, and her body was purple, whether from suffocation or cold, he didn't know.

I cried for a long time before my body returned to its normal color.

Li Pingan breathed a sigh of relief and handed the child to Zhao Chunzhi. "Take the child home quickly, find some clean clothes to wrap him up, and take him to the health center for observation as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Uncle Li, thank you!" Zhao Chunzhi cried as she knelt before Li Ping'an.

"Get up, get up quickly."

Li Pingan quickly helped the person up. "I'm a doctor, I can't just stand by and watch someone die. Don't say thank you, just take the child home first."

Zhao Chunzhi didn't dare to delay, so she hugged her child tightly and ran home crying.

Li Yaozong was so frightened that his legs went weak.

Seeing his child saved, his fear and lingering dread instantly turned into a surge of rage. He scrambled to his feet and roared, "Mom, are you out of your mind?! What were you doing bringing Sanni out here?"

"It's common sense that babies under one month old shouldn't be exposed to drafts. You yourself have four children, don't you know that?!"

Wu Ximei looked aggrieved after being scolded. "I saw that she was making a big fuss, so I took her out for a walk. Who knew that I would accidentally slip and the child would fall into the pond."

"You're talking nonsense!"

The aunt who had been talking about Wu Ximei under the shade of the tree just now shouted, "Yaozong, don't listen to your mother's nonsense! Your daughter was deliberately thrown into the pond by your mother!"

"Your mother came out of the house carrying the baby. Your daughter kept crying and she didn't try to comfort her. I felt something was wrong, so I secretly followed her. She was carrying the baby and headed straight for the pond."

"I was hiding behind a tree and saw her stand by the pond with her child for a while, then throw the child into the water!"

"Luckily, Gou Dan was washing his feet in the grass on the shore at the time. When he heard me shouting for help, he immediately jumped into the water and rescued the child. Otherwise, your daughter wouldn't have survived until Li Ping'an came to save her!"

The aunt pointed at Wu Ximei and started cursing, "You heartless old hag, if you really don't want to raise this child, you can give her away. If you don't want to give her away, you can just throw her in a cardboard box on the roadside and let someone pick her up. At least you'll have a way to survive."

"He's still a member of your family by blood! How could you, you old hag, try to kill him? How could you be so vicious!"

Wu Ximei panicked.

She checked everything and found no one who had thrown the child away.

Who knew we'd get caught red-handed?

Wu Ximei plopped down on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying, "I didn't, I just slipped, you're framing me... Yaozong, don't listen to her nonsense, she doesn't like me and is deliberately trying to frame me."

"..."

Li Yaozong's eyes were bloodshot.

Does his mother think he's a three-year-old?!

He said.

After the child was discharged from the hospital, his mother was disgusted even by his presence. Why is she being so kind as to help comfort the child today?

So it turns out they wanted the child dead!

That's his daughter.

My dearest daughter.

He and Chunzhi also owned land at home. During the busy farming season, they never slacked off. They worked diligently, but his mother couldn't even bear to pay the 400 yuan fine!

He knew his family was poor.

There is grain and livestock.

In his mother's eyes, his daughter's life was not as important as an old sow and two sheep!
