Chapter 167: I will be a complete ungrateful person from now on

"Supplement? Da Zhuang has a father and a mother, how can a married aunt like me provide any subsidy? Sister-in-law, don't forget that my eldest son Chang Geng was washed away by the flood, and no one found him alive or dead. I knelt down and begged you to ask your nephews to help me look for him along the way. What did you say? You said that I was a married daughter and had nothing to do with your Xiao family. Don't come to your Xiao family again in the future. Have you forgotten so quickly what you said in front of everyone in Xiaojia Village?" The third aunt-in-law said sternly.

At this time, Niu came on stage as if to smooth things over. She pulled the third aunt's wife and said with a smile, "Aunt, what your eldest sister-in-law did was indeed not kind, but it has been so long since the incident, and you should calm down. We are a family, how can we always be like enemies? Aunt, this is Dayong's boy Zhongping, who has already started to learn. The teacher praises him for being smart and says he will be a top scholar in the future. Our Xiao family will rely on him to prosper. But aunt, you know our family's conditions. We can barely fill our stomachs. Zhongping's current salary is one or two taels of silver per month, and our family really can't afford it. Alas, we must not let such a good child suffer. Aunt, with your help in the future, our family will not have to worry about anything, and the child will remember your kindness in the future. Zhongping, why don't you come over and thank your aunt." As Niu spoke, she waved to the ten-year-old child in the crowd to come over.

The third aunt frowned as she looked at the boy walking towards her. He was already in his teens, with snot on his face, messy hair, and his clothes were so dirty that they were almost patinaed. Not to mention that she had no money on hand, she would not support this child even if she had money. She saw that he was the most aggressive in grabbing food just now. Such a person will definitely be an ungrateful person in the future.

The boy named Zhongping walked up to his uncle's wife and was about to kneel down, but was stopped by her quick eyes and hands.

"Don't kneel, I didn't agree." The third aunt turned to look at Niu, "Second sister-in-law, don't try to trick me. The eldest sister-in-law is not a decent person, and you are not much better. When I was seriously ill, I spent all the money I saved for Chang Geng's marriage. Chang Geng and his father came to you to beg, but your whole family called them beggars and asked them to beg on the street. Is this something you, as a relative, would do?"

Niu looked embarrassed when she heard what she said.

Seeing that Third Aunt's face was livid, Shen was afraid that she would get angry and get hurt, so she helped her to sit down next to her, "Third Aunt, don't be angry yet. Uncle and the others haven't had breakfast yet, you take a rest first, I'll go make some quick breakfast, we can eat first and talk later."

The third uncle nodded, "Okay."

Shen took her two daughters to the kitchen, and Shen Bi followed to help.

There was still a pot of leftovers from yesterday's banquet, which he heated up and served to the elders as snacks. He also baked a basket of vegetable cakes and boiled a pot of millet porridge. Soon, these breakfasts were served on the table, and Uncle San treated the men at the table to wine and food.

But the group of people from the Xiao family were still not satisfied with their meal and started fighting over the food. This time even the Third Uncle couldn't sit still and grabbed Xiao Daqiang and Xiao Erqiang by the collars, dragged them to the table and threw them over.

"Xiao Daqiang, Xiao Erqiang, take your children and grandchildren back home and never come to my house again." The third uncle said angrily.

Xiao Daqiang and Xiao Erqiang are usually lazy and gluttonous at home. They just sit there and do whatever they want. They are not as strong as their third uncle who does farm work all year round. They were thrown to the ground and cried out in pain.

Seeing this, Wang and Niu hurried forward to help their men up.

Wang turned her head and glared at her uncle, saying angrily, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing? We came here with good intentions to congratulate Chang Geng, but you don't like us Xiao family members. What's wrong with them having a little breakfast? They are just children. Do you have to argue with them? They should at least call you uncle and grandfather."

Gao couldn't stand it anymore, she came out with her hands on her hips and cursed, "Bah, you are so kind to congratulate Chang Geng, how can you congratulate like this? Twenty people eat more than pigs, but they came with empty hands, not even a copper coin. Whose relatives come to the banquet with nothing but empty stomachs? You said your son and daughter-in-law are children, but they are still children in their thirties, a bunch of ignorant things, the food was snatched away by your family before the elders even had a bite. You must have starved to death in your previous life."

Wang was not happy with what Gao said and retorted, "This is the Xiao family's business. Why are you butting in? Get out of the way."

When the third aunt-in-law saw her husband's sister-in-law being scolded by her natal sister-in-law, she became furious and rushed forward.

"I have nothing to do with the Xiao family anymore. This is the Shen family's business. Please leave. We in the Shen family do not welcome you."

Xiao Daqiang came forward and stared at his uncle's wife with gloomy eyes, saying, "You want to sever your relationship with the Xiao family? No way. You will be tied to the Xiao family until you die, and you will be their slave for the rest of your life. You only have one son, Chang Geng. His last name is Shen, and yours is Xiao. You have the blood of the Xiao family in your veins. How can he, a person with an outsider surname, compare to the relationship between you and my son? You must help your nephew build a house and help them find a wife for their son."

Shen Zhi and the others were speechless when they heard this. There was such a weird logic. Even a biological son could not defeat a nephew. He must be mentally ill. A biological son would take care of him in his old age, but would a nephew?

"Yes, aunt, I am your nephew. My Dazhong family is going to get married next year. Our adobe house is about to collapse. Can you bear to let our Xiao family live on the streets?" Xiao Dagui also came out to play the emotional card.

The Third Uncle's Wife had seen through the faces of the Xiao family and said unhappily, "You all should go back. There is no point in saying more. Not to mention that I have no money now, even if I had money, I would never be able to support you again."

Xiao Daqiang looked at his uncle fiercely, "Little sister, since you don't care about the relationship between brother and sister, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, he overturned the dining table, and all the hot millet porridge splashed on Shen Bi's arm, which hurt her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. Zhuge Ling, who was standing next to him, immediately stepped forward and slapped Xiao Daqiang twice with his backhand. Not satisfied yet, he kicked him in the chest twice.

Everything happened in a flash. Zhuge Ling's slap was so powerful that two of Xiao Daqiang's back teeth fell out immediately. His mouth was filled with the taste of blood. The Xiao family members immediately rushed to Xiao Daqiang and shouted.

As for Shen Bi, Shen Zhi pulled her to the kitchen and washed her burned arm with cold water. The kitchen of the uncle's house was also connected to the mountain spring water like Shen Zhi's house. When she turned on the tap, cold mountain spring water flowed out. While Shen Zhi let her take a cold shower, he carefully cut off the burned part of her sleeve with scissors.
