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

He wants to go home.

He also wanted to eat meat.

If he continues to live like this with Zhang Xia, he must eat a full lunch, because he will starve to death sooner or later.

Zhao Chengxin glanced at his parents' expressions and cautiously asked, "Mom, can Zhang Xia and I rent our house? We'll rent the same room we used to live in. I promise to pay the rent on time and not take advantage of you!"

"You're dreaming!"

Zhang Guiying retorted, "Why did you move in if you weren't going to take advantage of me? We've already severed ties, and you're still trying to play tricks on me!"

Thinking of the letter severing ties, Zhang Guiying also thought of alimony. "Your father and I raised you when you were young, and you have an obligation to support us in our old age. When we wrote the letter severing ties last time, we forgot to include alimony in the calculation."

Zhang Guiying asked the two men, "When are you two planning to pay our living expenses?"

"Alimony?"

Mentioning money was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; Zhang Xia jumped up and screamed wildly, "You old hag, you've already taken all our money, and now you're asking us for alimony! Why don't you just die? I'll burn paper money for you when you're dead, as much as you want!"

This is a blatant curse.

Zhao Binghe was so angry that he wanted to slap Zhao Chengxin, because he couldn't control his wife's mouth.

Before Zhao Binghe could make a move, Zhang Guiying rushed over like a cannonball, grabbed a glass of cold boiled water from the table, and splashed it into Zhang Xia's mouth.

"You foul-mouthed bastard, I'll teach you a lesson! I'm asking my own son for alimony, what right do you have to speak to me like that?!"

"So what if I don't die? If you can't stand me, go die yourself!"

"You're still burning paper money for me? If I die before you, I'll take you, you plague-ridden thing, with me first!"

Cursing wasn't enough to vent his anger.

Zhang Guiying picked up the fermented soybeans from the table and forcefully slammed them onto Zhang Xia's head. Zhang Xia screamed and jumped around wildly as the fermented soybeans dripped down her head, covering it completely.

It felt like someone squatted down and pooped on my head.

"Aaaaaah!"

Zhang Xia, unable to bear it any longer, raised her hand to strangle Zhang Guiying, shouting, "Zhang Guiying, I'll fight you to the death!"

Zhang Guiying retreated quickly, kicking Zhao Xueyi forward. "Are you blind? Can't you see someone's hitting your mother? Go and beat her up!"

"Mom, I don't hit women!"

"Then you can wait for the woman to beat you up."

As soon as Zhang Guiying finished speaking, Zhao Xueyi was slapped across the face by Zhang Xia. Zhao Xueyi cursed, and just as Zhang Xia raised her leg to cut off his manhood, Zhao Xueyi twisted his waist to dodge.

Zhao Xueyi broke out in a cold sweat. "Zhang Xia, you vicious woman!"

He didn't care that the other person was a woman. He gritted his teeth, rushed over, twisted Zhang Xia's arms behind her back, and pushed her onto the dining table. Zhang Xia cursed and swore, and Zhao Xueyi, annoyed by her noise, grabbed a mixed flour bun and stuffed it into her mouth.

The whole world fell silent.

Zhao Chengxin was both angry and anxious.

He knew this would be the outcome.

Zhao Chengxin paced anxiously, hesitant to approach, "Mom, I..."

"Shut up!"

Before Zhang Guiying could finish speaking, she interrupted, "Zhao Limin and Chen Baozhu have already paid their alimony. Based on the standard of 15 yuan per month from your father and me, and using the current average lifespan, that's 14 years, totaling 5040 yuan!"

"Your father and I are impartial. We asked Zhao Limin and his wife for 5000, and we also want 5000 from you two. Go and get the money now."

5000 yuan?!

Zhang Xia, who was pinned to the table, kicked her legs furiously.

Zhao Chengxin gasped and exclaimed, "Mom, are you crazy for money? We've already signed the disownment agreement and given you 4700 yuan. What more do you want from me for alimony?"

"What outrageous nonsense are you spouting!"

Zhang Guiying put her hands on her hips and retorted, "That 4700 yuan was money I spent on your little family after you became an adult. It's money you 'repaid' to me. It has nothing to do with alimony."

"You ungrateful wretch, you've already cut ties with me and your dad, why should we be polite to you? We raised you to adulthood without spending a penny, right? Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and pay your alimony, and our two families will be completely unrelated."

Zhao Chengxin's eyes reddened. "Where am I supposed to get so much money? Even if I sold my blood, I couldn't come up with that much!"

"What's it to me!"

"I don't have any money. Even if you force me to my death, I still can't come up with that much!"

"I don't have the money to write an IOU!"

"Mom!" Zhao Chengxin broke down. "Am I not your biological son?"

"I'd rather you weren't."

Zhang Guiying waved her hand dismissively, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and get some paper and pen to write an IOU, or I'll sue you for abandoning your elderly parents."

Zhao Chengxin, quick-witted, immediately seized on the flaw, "Then go ahead and sue! You and Dad aren't even of retirement age yet, so why should we, your children, be responsible for your support?"

"When you and Dad reach retirement age, I won't shortchange you a single penny of what I owe you."

Zhang Guiying was just waiting for him to say those words.

Having no experience in severing ties with a family for the first time, she wrote the letter of severance without asking Zhao Chengxin for alimony.

She regretted it terribly.

Zhang Guiying immediately turned her head and raised her voice to the neighbors who were watching the commotion outside, saying, "Everyone heard it. Zhao Chengxin said that once his father and I retire, he will pay us alimony on time."

"Let all the neighbors be witnesses, so that when my husband and I ask him for the money later, he won't deny it again."

The neighbors, always eager for a good show, chimed in.

Zhang Guiying then turned to Zhao Chengxin, saying, "We'll talk about alimony later. Now move out of my house immediately, don't delay my collection of rent."

"..."

Zhao Chengxin had no intention of moving.

He had already inquired and found out that rent in the city had been ridiculously expensive in the past two years, with a room costing eleven or twelve yuan, and you would have to share with strangers.

Aunt Zheng's house costs only ten yuan a month and has a separate small kitchen.

His roommate was his own brother. Although he wasn't very close to his fourth brother, a brother is always better than an outsider.

Everyone in the village knows each other, so we can help each other out if anything happens.

"Mom, let's continue renting this house."

"Where's the money?"

"..."

Zhao Chengxin has no money.

He moved closer to Zhang Xia and patiently explained to her how much it would cost to move.

Many of the household items they use now are leftovers from Aunt Zheng's family. If they rent a new place, they will have to buy all of these things again.

Even a ruined family can be worth a fortune.

Buying a new one would be another huge extra expense.

Money is Zhang Xia's lifeblood. When she heard that moving would cost so much extra money, she kept quiet.

Zhao Chengxin then removed the steamed bun from her mouth, saying, "Go inside and get the rent."

Now that she was free to speak, Zhang Xia immediately asked, "What if your parents say we're paying alimony after we've paid the rent, and then kick us out?"

Zhao Chengxin quickly came up with a solution: "Sign a contract."

Zhang Xia reluctantly went inside to collect six months' rent. When she handed the money to Zhang Guiying, her heart was bleeding with pain.

The neighbors were all watching.

Zhang Guiying didn't want to go too far, so she took the money, agreed on the date for signing the contract, and left feeling refreshed.

The three of them went to the Niu family's house again.

A long line of neighbors followed, all wanting to see who would suffer a loss between Zhang Guiying and the Niu family.

The gate to the Niu family's courtyard was originally open.

Upon seeing Zhang Guiying arrive, Niu Jianshe's expression changed, and he reached out to close the door, but Zhao Xueyi, quick-witted and agile, managed to push it aside in time.

Zhang Guiying didn't make a scene. She explained clearly, "Niu Jianshe, your uncle has already sold this house to my family. Zhao Xueyi showed you the property certificate a couple of days ago."

"For the sake of being neighbors, I'll give you another week to move. If you still haven't moved after a week, don't blame me for turning against you!"

After being given a deadline, Zhang Guiying went straight home without waiting for the Niu family to say anything.

First courtesy, then force.

She had already done her duty of courtesy; if things escalated further, the Niu family would be in the wrong.

……

Home.

Zhao Xiazhi sat blankly in the courtyard.

Seeing Zhang Guiying return, he rushed helplessly into her arms, "Mom..."

Zhang Guiying was taken aback, then put her arm around her and led her into the courtyard. "What happened? Weren't you going to see a movie?"

"mom!"

Zhao Xiazhi panicked a little, "I...I...I hit Yu Cheng today!"
