Chapter 451 The Vain Little Aunt 51
"We are all family, it would be awkward to talk about money at this time."
Xiang Qingcao knew Xiang Pozi's character very well, and she was just being polite.
If I really took the money back, Mrs. Xiang would definitely be unhappy again.
Wang Lan stuffed the purse into Xiang Po's hand.
"Please accept it, Dad and Mom. This is not only Qingcao's intention, but also our husband and wife's intention, even if Dad and Mom are unwilling to go to the capital."
"This money will be our filial piety money in the future. Before Qingcao gives birth to a child, my husband and I will have to come back less often. I hope my parents won't blame us."
"Yes, please accept it, Dad and Mom."
The atmosphere among the people in the room was harmonious, but Zhou Xing'er outside was jealous.
Especially when staring at the heavy purse and thinking of Xiang Qingcao's usual generosity, it goes without saying that there is a lot of silver in it.
This made Zhou Xing'er almost tear the corner of her clothes, and Xiang Pingkang beside her was shouting that he was hungry.
"Mom, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry. Wang Gouzi will take me to look for bird eggs in the afternoon. I will go out after dinner."
Xiang Ping'an and Xiang Pingkang are not much different in age, but there is a huge difference in their level of understanding.
Xiang Ping'an goes to school every day and helps with housework in his free time.
A few days ago, I got an A in the school exam, and this news spread all over the village.
Seeing her son who only knew how to steal and cheat, Zhou Xing'er felt really disappointed with him.
She was seen scolding Xiang Pingkang, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. People who don't know you would think you are an animal. All you do every day is eat, drink, poop and urinate. Why can't you be like Xiang Ping'an and be more sensible?"
When Xiang Pingkang heard the name Xiang Ping'an, he got furious on the spot.
He stared with wide eyes and said unhappily, "What do you mean, mother? Do you dislike me? If you could send me to school, I would naturally learn to be more sensible."
"You don't have the money to send me to school, and you still want me to learn on my own? People in this village say you are biased, and I think you really are biased. You sent Xiang Qingtai away before, are you going to send me away too?"
There are a lot of gossipers in the village. They like to gather at the entrance of the village to talk about other people's affairs when they have nothing to do.
Xiang Pingkang ran around the village like a naughty monkey, and some words naturally fell into his ears.
For example, Zhou Xing'er was partial and only cared about Zhou Yan. She emptied her family savings to buy a dowry for Zhou Yan, and even gave all the money that Xiang Pingkang used to marry a wife to Zhou Yan.
Having sent Xiang Qingtai away earlier, they are now preparing to send Xiang Pingkang away as well.
At first, Xiang Pingkang couldn't listen, but as time went by, he heard it more often.
Seeing Xiang Ping'an wearing new clothes and going to school, the children in the village all envied Xiang Ping'an, which made Xiang Pingkang feel unbalanced.
He began to resent Zhou Xing'er's favoritism.
When Zhou Xing'er prepared the dowry for Zhou Yan, she did not do it behind Xiang Pingkang's back. So how much did she give away?
Xiang Pingkang saw it all, and now following Zhou Xing'er's complaint, he naturally couldn't help but start talking back.
Zhou Xing'er didn't expect that Xiang Pingkang, who was always obedient, would actually talk back to her, which made Zhou Xing'er look surprised.
She said in disbelief, "What do you mean? Pingkang, I am your biological mother, and you are complaining about your own mother like this? You are an ungrateful wretch."
This call of "ungrateful" completely infuriated Xiang Pingkang.
Xiang Pingkang gnashed his teeth and said, "Are you really my biological mother? My elder sister is just going to be someone's concubine, and you actually agreed to such a lowly thing."
"It would be fine if you just agreed, but I didn't expect you to prepare a dowry in such a grand manner. Now I can't go to school. You are not my biological mother, you are Zhou Yan's biological mother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Xing'er raised the broom and hit him.
She was still cursing.
"You ungrateful thing, your elder sister has been so kind to you all these years, I must beat you to death!"
When the broom fell on his butt, Xiang Pingkang came to his senses and cried out to the sky.
The crying sound outside immediately attracted the attention of Mrs. Xiang.
She frowned and put the purse in her arms. When she arrived at the door, she saw Zhou Xing'er beating the child.
Mother Xiang put her hands on her hips, pointed at Zhou Xing'er and scolded, "If you want to beat the child, do it outside. Don't beat the child in the yard."
He thought that Mrs. Xiang came to rescue him, but he didn't expect that she was here to add insult to injury. Now Xiang Pingkang cried even louder.
Zhou Xing'er was already angry, and when she saw Xiang Pozi coming out, she put her hands on her hips and retorted.
"This is my own child, you can beat him however you want. Now that the family has been divided, our second branch has a share of this yard, so I can't beat the child?"
While Zhou Xing'er was pointing the gun at Xiang Pozi, Xiang Pingkang took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
Xiang Pozi didn't expect Zhou Xing'er to dare to talk back, and immediately felt that her authority was challenged.
"Zhou Xing'er, is this how you talk to your elders? I'm your mother-in-law."
"So what if I'm the mother-in-law? We've already separated. Do I have to report to you if I beat the child?"
Seeing Zhou Xing'er's stubborn look, Xiang Pozi thought she was just asking for a beating.
I don’t know what Zhou Xing’er was busy with these days. She went to town every few days.
Xiang Youlu also stopped working in the fields. I heard that he found a job carrying heavy bags in the town.
No matter how much Xiang Po-zi disliked Xiang Youlu, he was still her own child.
Seeing that he was being used just like Lao Niu, Xiang Pozi still felt resentful towards Zhou Xing'er.
Not to mention that Mrs. Xiang was already full of resentment after losing her cash cow, she rushed up and grabbed Zhou Xing'er on the spot.
The people in the room looked at each other. When they heard Zhou Xing'er's scream, Li Wanyi looked uneasy.
She looked at Xiang Youshou with some concern and said, "Mother hit my second sister-in-law. Should we go out and persuade her? What if something goes wrong?"
Xiang Youshou knew Zhou Xing'er's character very well. It was clearly she who caused the trouble first.
If I run out now to persuade Mother Xiang, I might get beaten as well.
Xiang Youshou held Li Wanyi's hand and shook his head gently.
"It's okay. Mother knows how to handle it. You don't have to worry too much. Mother has a good temper. It's just that Second Sister-in-law sometimes says things that are unpleasant to the ear. Mother can't help but take action because she can't stand it."
With Xiang Youshou's comfort, Li Wanyi finally calmed down.
When Xiang Po came back, she was tying her hair.
"Zhou Xing'er is really getting more and more powerful now. She even dared to attack me."
Hearing Zhou Xing'er attacking the old woman, Li Wanyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked shocked.
Xiang Youfu and Wang Lan beside them didn't dare to speak.
Everyone knows how powerful Mrs. Xiang is, so no one dares to step forward and bring bad luck upon herself at this time, lest the fire burn herself.
