In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi's few casual words silenced the spectators who had been noisy just now.

For a moment, no one spoke to dissuade Su Zhizhi, so she could take a step back and see what was ahead.

Su Zhizhi was very satisfied with these people's understanding, and then looked at the old lady and others standing at the door again.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at the other party provocatively, while Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi with a smile on his face, as if he was very proud of Su Zhizhi's actions just now.

When the old lady saw that her plan was disrupted and no one dared to speak up to support her, her face was so dark that ink seemed to drip out of it.

Seeing that her plan to occupy Su Zhizhi's house was about to fail, Li was extremely anxious. She pulled the old lady's sleeve, signaling her to do something, but the old lady just turned pale and brushed Li's hand away, her expression also very ugly.

Seeing this, Li was so angry that she wanted to step forward herself, but Su Zhonghuai quickly held her down. After all, Li was not as strong as Su Zhonghuai, so she could only stare at Su Zhizhi hatefully.

Su Zhizhi looked at Li provocatively. Su Zhonghuai almost failed to hold Li down, and she almost broke free from the shackles and rushed towards Su Zhizhi.

The current situation was turning in Su Zhizhi's favor. The old lady and others had no choice. Although they were very unwilling, they did not dare to intrude rashly and had to leave in embarrassment.

Seeing that the old ladies had left and the people around didn't see any excitement, they dispersed in twos and threes.

Afterwards, Su Zhizhi told Xie Chengjin to buy a big lock, preferably one that was difficult to pry open. After making sure that the door could not be opened easily, Su Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the restaurant with Xie Chengjin.

Seeing that the two came back a little late, Mrs. Meng was afraid that something had happened. Only after she was sure that Su Zhizhi was safe and sound did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Why have you stayed in the village for so long?" Meng asked.

Su Zhizhi simply told Meng about the situation. Meng took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect they still wouldn't give up and still want that house. Zhizhi, what should I do?"

Seeing that Meng was a little anxious, Su Zhizhi comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. Leave this matter to me. I've locked the house. I'll deal with it after I find a suitable tenant. Even if they still feel uneasy by then, I'm afraid... I won't care about family ties."

Su Zhizhi was a little hesitant, but still revealed her true thoughts.

In fact, she has never taken the old lady and others seriously. The reason why she is still concerned about them is because of Meng.

Meng was not completely unreasonable. Su Zhonghuai and the others had been making things difficult for her time and again. Even a clay figure would have had some temper.

After a few days, the rental notice that Su Zhizhi had posted on her body and in the village finally took effect.

One day, Su Zhizhi's restaurant had just closed when a woman came in alone with her child.

The waiter thought it was a customer coming to eat, so he said apologetically, "Sorry, we're closed. If you need anything, please come back tomorrow."

Unexpectedly, the woman waved her hands repeatedly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, "I saw the rental notice and came to look for your boss's wife. Is your boss's wife here?"

Hearing that someone was here to rent a house, the servants looked at each other, and one of them went upstairs to look for Su Zhizhi.

"Madam, someone is looking for you in the lobby on the first floor. He wants to rent a house. Would you like to take a look?" the waiter said respectfully.

"Someone comes to our door so soon? Bring that person here." Su Zhizhi raised her eyebrows in surprise. This was something Su Zhizhi had not expected.

The woman and the child were brought over quickly. At first glance, Su Zhizhi could tell that this was a woman with a miserable life.

In the following conversation, Su Zhizhi learned that the other party was a widow whose husband had just died. Her name was Lu Huan. Her husband had a younger brother, but her mother-in-law loved this younger brother very much. After her husband died, she directly drove the woman and her child out.

After hearing the woman's experience, Su Zhizhi couldn't help but fall silent. This was too similar to their family's situation.

Su Zhizhi also wanted to do her best to help the orphan and widowed couple, so when the woman expressed a strong desire to rent a house, she gave her a completely affordable and low rent.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Zhizhi asked them to rest in the restaurant for one night and decided to take people to the village to check the houses early the next morning.

The next day, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin brought their people back to the village.

When the people in the village saw Su Zhizhi coming back and bringing a strange woman with her, they all stopped to watch. Some curious people even went to find Su Zhonghuai and told him that Su Zhizhi had taken someone to the previous house.

When Su Zhonghuai heard this, he was furious and hurriedly dragged Li over.

But they seemed to have arrived a little late. Lu Huan liked the house very much at first sight. Although the house was not big, it was enough for them and their son to live in.

When Su Zhonghuai and his wife arrived, Su Zhizhi had already walked out of the house, followed closely by Xie Chengjin. Su Zhonghuai and his wife approached stealthily and heard Su Zhizhi telling Xie Chengjin to take down all the rental notices.

Li was indignant. Her face was filled with disgust as she spoke, "No way. This house we've just acquired is about to be taken away. I just made inquiries, and it seems the person renting it is a widow. I just can't believe it. If I can't defeat that damned girl Su Zhizhi, how can I defeat a stinky widow?"

Li didn't know that Su Zhizhi heard what they said.

She seemed to know that these two people would not give up, so she specially hired someone to keep an eye on them and report to her if there was any movement.

Su Zhizhi sneered at their daydreaming. She gestured for Xie Chengjin to take care of the matter and then walked towards the carriage.

Xie Chengjin also acted quickly. He dragged Su Zhonghuai to an empty corner and beat him up.

Su Zhonghuai was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy repeatedly, fearing that he would die at the hands of Xie Chengjin in the next second.

Xie Chengjin then stopped and warned, "You'd better not think about the house. We can still live in peace. Otherwise, I think you know my methods. I am more ruthless than Zhizhi. If you don't want to live a good life, I can also show mercy and send you on your way."

Xie Chengjin rarely showed such a ferocious side of himself in public, so he frightened Su Zhonghuai directly. He begged for mercy repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we will never dare to do it again, never again."
