Chapter 467 - Break Your Legs
Zhang Xiaohui"s actions shocked everyone after all, even though she was a greedy and selfish woman she treated Lin Ze and her kids with all her heart, if she had anything nice she would share it with her family at once, no matter what it was- the Zhang family wasn"t rich but it wasn"t bad either, her brothers treated her nicely and often sent small gifts once in a while, all those good things... Zhang Xiaohui naturally shared it with her children and Lin Ze.
Forget about those fancy candies, she even let them eat the tender meat of the deer that her brothers hunted and didn"t even take a single bite herself.. so many good things she actually fed to dogs! She did so much for this family but instead of repaying her care and affection with the attention they turned around to bite her in the a.s.s, how can Zhang Xiaohui be not angry! The venison, those sweets she didn"t even think about eating them alone and waited for her family to sit together and eat, she might have not a clear conscience regarding her nephews but towards her own family, she had the clearest conscience!
Yet they found it a ha.s.sle to leave just a bowl of rice behind? On what basis! On what basis she should be left hungry? She was the one who earned that money!
Now she understood why her nephews cut off all their relationship with them, if she could she would have wanted to do that too!
Old madam Lin who heard the loud bang coming from the outside was startled, she put down her bowl and went out to look at what was happening and what she saw made her blood boil! Her daughter in law who didn"t dare to raise her voice in front of her son actually lifted a pot and threw it at her son? How dare she! Was she not afraid of this old lady anymore?
" You wretched woman! How dare you attack my Ze"er on my watch! Get down on your knees and apologize or I will break your legs!" Old madam Lin still believed that she still had the power and authority in the house, she was a firm believer of " the younger generations all have to be filial", what she forgot that Zhang Xiaohui was a woman who wasn"t scared of anything.. yes, she was a bit terrified of old madam Lin before but that was because the old woman was the one who was in charge of money but things were different now, she was the one earning the money now... if Old madam Lin wanted to break her legs she will have to think twice but that wasn"t the case for Zhang Xiaohui.
If the old woman"s legs were to break no one would say a thing! With the financial power in her hand, Zhang Xiaohui felt more powerful than ever thus she sneered coldly " you will break my legs huh, old hag?"
This time it was old madam Lin"s turn to get stunned, she looked at her daughter in law who looked like a completely different woman and felt a bad feeling rise in her heart. Her bad feeling was on the spot because the next second, Zhang Xiaohui pivoted on her spot took out the broom that was kept behind the front door and then rushed at her! She.. her scaredy daughter in law actually rushed at her! That too with a broom!????w???oν?l. c??
Old madam Lin jumped in the air as she dodged here and there, Lin Ze couldn"t watch his mother getting beaten and tried to interfere. He thought Zhang Xiaohui wouldn"t beat him but she proved him wrong! He actually hit him and she hit him so hard that angry red welts appeared on his skin " Xiaohui! Have you gone mad?" shouted Lin Ze, he couldn"t believe that the wife who once respected him so much was willing to chase him around the house like this! If anyone found out what face will he show to them? Being beaten by his wife? All his face will be gone!
" What am I doing? I am teaching you .. something that your mother didn"t do!? You stay at home all day and laze here and late there and instead of teaching your kids any good manners you taught them how to steal and eat behind their mother? Buy more rice? Meat? Who is the one earning the money here? You are so lazy you don"t even go to the town to sell it saying that your legs were hurting and whatnot, you like a coward hid in the house and then sent your wife and sister to sell those grains! At that moment what happened to your manliness? Why didn"t you show me how much of a man you are back then? You hide when it"s time to work but yet you have the guts to say that you are the man of the house?"
Then she turned to look at Old madam Lin who was hiding behind Lin Ze and coldly snorted " you want to break my legs? On what basis? Who is going to work in the fields if you break my legs? You or this" poking Lin Ze"s stomach with the end of the broom she sn.i.g.g.e.red? " this good son of yours?"
Old madam Lin had never been insulted like this before even Su Wan hadn"t chased her around with a broom-like this, as she thought how this daughter in law made her run around her house like a headless chicken, old madam Lin cursed her immediately " Zhang Xiaohui! You are not human! You have no shame! How can you chase your mother in law like this with a broom? How can I have such an unfilial daughter in law like you? What sins have I committed-"
" Shut up, don"t cry like that … you know it annoys the heck out of me. I want to ask the same thing too!" jeered Zhang Xiaohui and then turned to look at Lin Yunxi and Lin Che who shrank their necks in fright " you two are good too, you actually did such a thing behind your mother"s back and still have the nerve to act like this!" She slammed the broom on the ground and snapped "Lin Che, tell me honestly when will you be returning to the town?"
