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

"Natsuki, don't be angry."

After dating for three months, this was the first time Yu Cheng had ever seen Zhao Xiazhi lose her temper. He didn't dare to continue, saying, "It's not that I don't have confidence in you... Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore. Let's go see a movie."

Seeing him like this, Zhao Xiazhi felt a little guilty. "I'm not taking my anger out on you. My parents raised me, and I can't ignore their feelings."

She added, "Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you with my parents and get them to accept you sooner."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"Um."

Zhao Xiazhi felt that things had been discussed openly, so she stopped worrying about it and focused on watching the movie. The theater was dimly lit, and Zhao Xiazhi didn't see Yu Cheng's unpleasant expression.

Yu Cheng was very unhappy.

Why bother dating if you're not going to get married? Isn't that just being a scoundrel?

If they really get married after the New Year as Zhao Xiazhi said, there will be the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival in between. As Zhao Xiazhi's boyfriend, should he visit her during the holidays or not?

Not visiting him would be impolite, and the Zhao family might use this as an excuse to force Zhao Xiazhi to break up with him.

But you have to buy gifts when you visit someone's family, especially when he's visiting his future father-in-law's family. The gifts have to be high-end... Don't these things cost money?

The Zhao family is really good at scheming.

He clung to his daughter tightly, refusing to let go, just to get something to eat from her.

Zhao Xiazhi is also stupid.

They believe whatever their parents say, but they don't know how to save money for their future husbands.

Yu Cheng secretly made a mental note, planning to settle accounts with Zhao Xiazhi slowly after they got married.

Zhao Xiazhi had no idea what Yu Cheng was thinking.

She's dying of heat right now.

It's already hot outside.

Although the screening room was equipped with exhaust fans, there were too many people inside. The entire screening room was like a stuffy, unventilated steamer, with stale air and all sorts of smells.

The movie wasn't one that Zhao Xiazhi liked, and after sitting for an hour, she couldn't stand it anymore.

He turned his head and glanced at Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng watched intently, his eyes shining with excitement at the parts that got his blood pumping.

"..."

He wanted to leave but held back.

Zhao Xiazhi endured until the end of the movie.

It was almost 1 p.m. when Zhao Xiazhi came out of the movie theater. Her forehead was covered in sweat, her face was flushed, and she was thirsty, hot, and hungry.

There are popsicle vendors right outside the movie theater.

Zhao Xiazhi was so hot that she lined up to buy popsicles.

"Natsume, are you thirsty?"

Yu Cheng, worried about spending money, pulled Zhao Xiazhi aside and said, "Ice popsicles only make you thirstier and are useless. There's a place over there that sells boiled water. Boiled water is cheap and quenches your thirst. Let's go drink some boiled water."

"But I'm hot... so I want something cold."

Yu Cheng advised, "My mom says it's bad for girls' health to eat things that are too cold..."

"……Oh well."

Zhao Xiazhi felt that she was very strange.

Yu Chengming clearly cares about her, but why does she feel a little uncomfortable?

Yu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything is expensive at People's Square. The cheapest red bean popsicles and mung bean popsicles cost five cents each, while boiled water costs only two cents and you can drink as much as you want.

He quickly pulled Zhao Xiazhi away.

After drinking water, Yu Cheng himself was hungry. He browsed around the square where the stalls were set up and then took Zhao Xiazhi to eat a bowl of cold noodles that cost two cents a bowl.

The sun is scorching hot during the dog days of summer.

Eating at the stall, there was only a simple small table and stool, not even a place to shade from the sun... Zhao Xiazhi felt dizzy from the sun, and her neck and arms exposed to the sun were burning hot.

I'm very hungry.

But Zhao Xiazhi could only eat two bites before she felt she was going to get heatstroke.

Yu Cheng thought she was wasteful, so he poured the leftover cold noodles into his own bowl, saying, "Xia Zhi, you can't waste food."

"There are still many people in the countryside who don't have enough to eat. My family... well, the places I went to are all mountainous areas. Growing grain is extremely hard, and the harvest is not good. In order to save grain, many families there only eat two meals a day."

I almost let it slip.

Yu Cheng hurriedly tried to fix the situation while observing Zhao Xiazhi's reaction.

Zhao Xiazhi's head was buzzing, and she didn't hear what Yu Cheng was saying at all. "Yu Cheng, hurry up and eat. I'm feeling a bit too hot. Let's find a cool place to stay after we finish eating."

Zhao Xiazhi looked a little dejected.

I held my hand above my head to block the sun, and it felt like my hair was about to catch fire.

Yu Cheng responded and sped up his eating, but in his heart he felt that Zhao Xiazhi was being too fussy. It was just that the sun was a little strong, and she hadn't even been asked to do farm work yet.

Being too delicate won't do.

Yu Cheng wanted to say something, but then shut up.

Now is not the time.

Let's teach him slowly after we get married.

After dinner, Yu Cheng suggested going for a walk in the park. "I know there's a park just north of the square. It's got lots of trees, it's cool, and the scenery is nice. Let's take a stroll in the park."

The key point is that you don't have to pay to enter the park.

People's Square is full of shops, and Yu Cheng didn't have much money with him, so he didn't dare to take Zhao Xiazhi wandering around aimlessly.

Zhao Xiazhi just wanted to get to a cool place as soon as possible and didn't notice Yu Cheng's little scheme. She nodded in agreement.

We entered the park.

Zhao Xiazhi finally felt a little better.

The park is filled with towering trees that block out the sun, and the paths under their shade are quiet and beautiful, a world apart from the hustle and bustle of People's Square.

"The scenery here is beautiful."

Yu Cheng looked around. "There aren't many people here."

Zhao Xiazhi nodded. "It's too hot right now. Most people around here have probably gone home for their afternoon nap. There should be more people after the sun goes down."

Fewer people is better.

Suitable for doing bad things.

Yu Cheng looked at Zhao Xiazhi walking ahead, his eyes darting around.

Too many things can change in six months.

Yu Cheng dared not gamble.

But he had already spent so much time and energy on Zhao Xiazhi, and Zhao Xiazhi was so beautiful... He was unwilling to give up on Zhao Xiazhi and find someone else.

If things can be made irreversible, Zhao Xiazhi will have no choice but to be with him.

Once this thought enters your mind, it's like a seed that has taken root and can't be pulled out no matter what.

Yu Cheng turned his head and looked around.

After finding no one around, he mustered his courage and caught up with Zhao Xiazhi, hugging her tightly from behind!

……

At the same time.

Zhang Guiying is taking possession of her new house in the village.

She had bought three houses and agreed to take possession of them today.

We went to the Lin family's house first.

The Lin family had found a new place to live and the whole family had moved out. When they saw Zhang Guiying and Zhao Binghe coming over, they took one last look at the old house where they had lived for decades, sighed, and handed the house key to Zhang Guiying.

"Binghe, Guiying, this house will be yours from now on."

"Of course."

Zhang Guiying said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "The transfer procedures for the house and the homestead have been completed. Even if you regret it, Lao Lin, I can't give the house back to you."

Lin Fang waved his hand, "Look at what you're saying. The money and goods are settled, the sale is done, why would I need the house back?"

"..."

Then you shouldn't have messed with buyers in your past life!

Zhang Guiying didn't take his words to heart. After confirming with Lin Fang that the house had been emptied and that nothing else was needed, she changed the lock on the front door with the new lock she had brought.

After taking over the Lin family's house, Zhang Guiying went home and called Zhao Xueyi to take over Zheng Jie's house. She even went back to her room to change into the clothes that Zhang Xia had bought for her from the department store.

Zhao Xueyi's eyelids twitched wildly. "Mom! You're going to Aunt Zheng's house to collect the keys to the new house dressed like that? Aren't you afraid Third Sister-in-law will beat you up if she sees you like that?!"
