Itâs undeniable that someone like Mother Zhang, whoâs so shamelessly brazen, is the first of her kind Mother Qi has seen in her lifetime. Stuffing the household register in that placeâshe feels embarrassed and thinks itâs disgraceful just taking it out.
Zhang Jisheng was stunned and walked over, saying, "Mom, you..."
"Get lost, you useless coward. Does arranging things come for free? Who does work for nothing? Youâre just an idiot," Mother Zhang pushed him away and scolded.
Zhang Jisheng hung his head low.
Seeing this, Mother Qi said, "Are you, are you intent on bullying us like this? Fine, you Zhangs, youâve healed the scars and forgotten the pain. You donât care about anyone else, right?"
Mother Zhangâs heart skipped a beat.
"Fine, where is that damned brat Zhang Jiguang working?" Mother Qi turned around, saying, "Iâll have our Taiguo go find him, a bunch of rogue bullies!"
That damned old woman, Mother Zhang suddenly panicked, let out a cry, and before she could speak, her daughter-in-law hurried out with the grandson and slapped Zhang Jishengâs forehead, scolding, "What are you fighting about now? The kid has a high fever, hurry to the hospital!"
Upon hearing the Zhang familyâs darling was sick, Zhang Jisheng and Mother Zhang were anxious, and Mother Qi stood still and let out a sarcastic "Oh my, look at your deeds, itâs come down on the child, hasnât it!"
"Get lost!" Mother Zhang yelled.
Mother Qi snorted and turned away.
Back home, she shouted about calling Qi Taiguo to have him deal with it, see if that Zhang Jisheng thinks he can defy us.
"Mom, perhaps itâs not much money, letâs just give it," Chu Changxing, being straightforward, didnât want to stir up more trouble, especially at such a joyous occasion.
Ah, itâs really hard for Qi Fenglian, how has she managed to deal with this family all these years?
"We canât give it. Tossing the money in the water, youâd at least hear a splash. Giving it to them, theyâd only find it insufficient," Mother Qi said. "Let me tell you, son-in-law, people like this, the more you tolerate, the more they take advantage. They need a lesson! Otherwise, if this gets settled, theyâll come up with other excuses to ask for money in the future."
If Cheng Su were here now, sheâd probably remark, mother-in-law is finally having a clear moment!
"My momâs right, we canât indulge them," Qi Fenglian said with a grim face. "If he insists on not giving in, insists on arguing, then weâll argue."
Chu Changxing sighed lightly.
"Changxing, you donât worry. You treat Fenglian well, you both are doing fine. Even without the official certificate, you truly care for her, and we see you as family," Father Qi reassured Chu Changxing.
Chu Changxing immediately said, "Of course. Itâs just that since Fenglian is with me, I should give her a proper status. Although we canât handle this immediately, thereâs no rush. Itâll get done eventually."
Only now did Father Qi and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
Qi Fenglian was moved, looking at Chu Changxing and nodding.
What she thought more about was, if she could get hold of the household register, sheâd want to transfer her childrenâs registries under her, to avoid complications in their schooling and life later on.
"No time like the present, letâs call Taiguo now," Mother Qi picked up the phone.
This time, no one spoke, after all Qi Taiguo is considered the pillar of the family, and the Zhang family is obviously bullying them excessively. What does the Qi family have to fear? This is merely about paying them back in kind!
