Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 53

Wang Guixiang was speechless after being rebuked. She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but she really didn't have anything good to say.

Zhu Yufeng's commotion drew all the neighbors out. A large crowd quickly gathered outside the courtyard.

People were pointing and whispering.

"The Zhao family has really gone too far. They think Zhao Lao Er's wife is easy to bully, so they make her live in a shack while she's in confinement. What kind of people are they?"

"That's absolutely right! The old ones are faking illness, the young ones are just loafing around, the whole family is counting on Cheng Jinxiang to work, and they don't even get to eat while they work! Isn't that ridiculous?!"

"That's because Cheng Jinxiang's father passed away a couple of years ago, leaving her without a father at home. Her older brother had only been married for a few years, and Cheng Jinxiang was afraid that if she went home and complained to her brother, her sister-in-law wouldn't support her. This time, her sister-in-law came directly. Let's see how the Zhao family handles this!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, while Wang Guixiang remained silent. Zhu Yufeng then raised her voice even louder: "You Zhao family should take a good look at yourselves! You're so poor, yet you still pretend to be a wealthy family. Wang Guixiang, how dare you bully your daughter-in-law like this? Why don't you bully your eldest and third daughters-in-law? Isn't it because you think my Jinxiang is easy to bully? You snobbish old hag!"

"You're doing such a terrible thing, aren't you afraid of retribution? It's the dead of winter, and we have nothing to eat or drink. Back then, I brought two old hens for my Jinxiang to make soup. How could you be so greedy? She was in confinement after giving birth, and you ate the chickens. Are you the type to crave your wife? At your age, you have no shame."

Zhu Yufeng cursed again, then walked over and pulled Cheng Jinxiang, saying, "Let's go, we're not going to live with them anymore."

Wang Guixiang panicked instantly and quickly stepped forward to pull Zhu Yufeng aside, saying, "Auntie, look, don't do this. I haven't mistreated my daughter-in-law at all..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhu Yufeng showed no mercy.

While they were arguing in front, Zhao Tingxu and his family returned from the backyard.

Seeing that things were going badly, Zhao Laosan simply pretended to be deaf and dumb, watching from afar without going over.

Zhao Tiesheng and Zhao Tingxu hurriedly went over to persuade Zhu Yufeng: "Her aunt, when did you arrive? Come inside quickly."

"It's freezing cold, don't let outsiders laugh at us..."

"Your family is afraid of being laughed at? That's the biggest joke of all. No matter what anyone says today, it's no use. I have to take my sister back. Although our family is also struggling, we can still afford to eat." Zhu Yufeng pushed the group and pulled Cheng Jinxiang out.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tingxu quickly said, "Auntie, it's my fault for not handling this matter well, but there are reasons for it. Let me tell you..."

"What does your reason have to do with me? I'm taking my sister back to her parents' home. You can keep your reason to yourself." Zhu Yufeng didn't want to hear any explanation.

Cheng Jinxiang's current situation is the best proof. She's in postpartum confinement, living in a makeshift shack. No one is taking care of her, no one is looking after her—what's the point of explaining that?

"Jinxiang, why are you still like this, going to your family..." Zhao Tingxu said with dissatisfaction.

Zhao Da'e's lips twitched: "It wasn't my mom who found them, I was the one who notified them. If you've got the guts, come at me."

Zhao Tingxu: "..."

She is truly Grandpa's wonderful granddaughter.

The argument raged on one side, and Zhu Yufeng refused to listen to anything, insisting on taking Cheng Jinxiang back to her parents' home. No matter how much Zhao Tingxu and the others pleaded, it was to no avail.

The group of people were tearing and pulling at each other in the yard, none of them willing to give in.

Zhao Da'e, always eager for a good show, chimed in, "Mom, don't worry, go back to your parents' house. Watch how I deal with them. With you here, I can't really let loose..."
