The road to wealth of a peasant widow

"Mom, you're right. I heard gossip before. It said that when my eldest brother and Eryong were young, Dad was often away from home. At that time, you..."

Having said that, Chen Cui covered her mouth with her hands as if she had spoken out of turn and stopped talking.

Although he only said half of the sentence, it made Old Zhou even angrier than if he had said it all.

Old Zhou was so angry that her face turned red and her chest heaving. She picked up the half-finished shoe sole at hand and smashed it into Chen Cuitou's face, swearing at her.

"Bullshit, who the hell is talking nonsense here!"

Chen Cui had predicted this, and as soon as she raised her hand, she pulled Changping away.

There are needles on the soles of those shoes. If you get poked by them, it will be no joke.

"Mom, please don't scold me. I don't know who said this, but you said it before, I haven't done anything wrong, so I'm not afraid of what others say. As long as Dad doesn't believe it, it's fine. Why are you so angry? Be careful not to get too angry and it will hurt your health!"

Chen Cui spoke in a deliberately pretentious tone.

This old hag, it would be fine if people were gossiping about her, but she also started to throw dirty water on her widowed daughter-in-law, so she would throw it back.

Come on, let's hurt each other. Anyway, her nominal man is dead, but her old man is still alive. Let's see who will suffer!

Sure enough, at this time Liu Youliang frowned and looked very ugly.

Old Zhou glanced at her husband's face and quickly explained, "Old man, don't listen to what they say. You know me..."

No matter how old she is, no man can stand to hear such words. Even if she is in good health, she is afraid of being hurt by rumors!

Liu Youliang heard his wife trying to explain herself, and he could not help but sternly said, "Shut up, stop talking, and go back to the house!"

This old woman is so stupid, she didn’t realize that these were words used by the second son’s wife to fight back against her, and she actually took them seriously and even had to explain. It really made her so angry!

He took a deep look at the calm and composed Chen. It seemed that something was different about this second son's wife!

If she had been in her old temper, she would have knelt down and cried to explain herself after hearing what the old woman said. How could she be so calm?

Old Zhou had just heard words that tarnished her reputation. Now seeing that the old man refused to listen to her explanation and yelled at her in front of his daughter-in-law and grandson, she felt both aggrieved and angry.

She glanced at the second son's wife who looked as if nothing had happened, and her rage grew even more intense. In a rage and humiliation, she stretched out her two claws and wanted to scratch Chen Cui's face.

Chen Cui didn't expect that the old woman would resort to violence after she couldn't win the argument. She couldn't fight her directly, so she simply hid behind her father-in-law.

Old Mrs. Zhou had already been stimulated to the point of losing her mind. Wherever Chen Cui went, her eyes would follow her and she would not let her go no matter what.

Now Liu Youliang was in trouble. The two women surrounded him, one hiding and the other chasing. He was caught in the middle, moving back and forth in the main room, covering his head and face with his hands from time to time.

Chen Cui was nimble and old Zhou was particularly fierce, so Liu Youliang suffered the consequences and soon had several scratches on his hands.

Old Zhou had strong hands and hard nails, and she scratched the back of his hand so hard that it hurt and even bled.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, stretched out his hand, and slapped Old Zhou: "Stop!"

Old Zhou seemed to be stunned. She covered her face and looked at the old man in disbelief, muttering, "Old man, you actually hit me..."

Then, Old Zhou covered her face with her hands and started crying.

Liu Youliang felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have let the old woman speak first. He originally wanted to let her say a few words first to dampen his daughter-in-law's arrogance, and then it would be easier for him to speak.

He didn't expect that his wife was not only dumb, but also so stupid that she couldn't understand the key points of the matter at all. She made a fuss and he didn't even have the time to say the words he had prepared. He even made Chen laugh at him.

At this point, he had already lost the initiative, and it was not appropriate to say those words today, so he could only bring them up another day.

"Second son's wife, it's getting late, you should go back first."

Liu Youliang said to Chen Cui with a gloomy look.

Chen Cui didn't care about that and just responded lightly: "Yes, Dad, let's go back then."

Changping followed behind silently and left the yard.

The farce in the Liu family's old house has come to a temporary end.

After such a long commotion in the main hall, none of the other people in the Liu family's old house showed up.

Changxing just brought the person to the door of the main hall and went back to his room to continue reading. Changrong was heartless and just played by himself. When they started quarreling later, they didn't dare to surround them for fear of being taken out on.

As for the eldest wife's youngest daughter Yuerong, she is even more capable of protecting herself.

At first, when she heard that her second aunt was coming, she wanted to watch the fun, but later she realized that the situation was not right, so she turned off the lights in her room and pretended to sleep.

Tan was the granddaughter-in-law and was pregnant, so she would not get involved in such matters. She had already turned off the lights in the room when the noise just started.

As for Chen's sister-in-law Zhou, she had been hiding in the shadow on the side of the door for a long time.

She originally wanted to hear what her sister-in-law said to the two elders, but she didn't expect to hear these.

When the noise started inside, she hesitated whether to go back to her room or stay and listen for a while.

When Chen Cui went out, Zhou hid in the dark corner. She tiptoed back to her room after Chen Cui left the yard.

Zhou returned to the house and kept stroking her chest. She didn't expect to hear such explosive news just now. There were rumors about her aunt when she was young. She didn't know whether it was true or not.

On the way home, Changping walked beside Chen Cui with his head down and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Changping, what are you thinking about?" Chen Cui asked.

"I was wondering, why did my grandpa and grandma treat us like this?"

In the darkness, Changping's eyes were filled with tears.

Don’t just say that those words were said by grandma alone and grandpa had no part in it.

He had some understanding of his grandfather, and he didn't object when his grandmother said that, which proved that he agreed with it.

My mother is obviously working so hard to support the family and is exhausted for this family, but why do my grandparents act as if they can't see anything and just throw dirty water on her without any evidence and say those disgusting words.

By doing this, where did they put his father, and where did they put his grandson!

Changping closed his eyes tightly and squeezed out the tears. The fact that his mother could tarnish her reputation so easily meant that she didn't take him or him and her brother and sister seriously. So from now on, he would only be nice to them for the sake of face.

Chen Cui patted his shoulder and said, "We can't control what others say, but when you are strong enough, you will only hear praises and no other voices. What we have to do now is to keep working hard and make ourselves stronger!"
