“Are you trying to kick me out?”
Ji Guizhi’s eyes widened. It was hard to believe that this was something the cowardly Zhang Lan would say.
Zhang Lan did not give in at all. “Aunt, I don’t have any intention of chasing you out. It’s just that the banquet is over.”
“Oh, I understand. Aunt must be feeling sorry for your niece and so, you wanted to stay and help our family wash the cutleries and bowls?”
As she spoke, she called out to Zhou Xiaoli, “Little Li, quickly bring out a dishcloth for your second grandaunt.”
Zhou Xiaoli’s movements were fast. She even brought out the basin.
Ji Guizhi’s expression froze.
“No, no, I’m leaving. I’m not staying. It’s just that, now that my nephew-in-law has made a fortune, so much so that he was able to build a house and bought land. Do you think you can give…’
She knew that she was here to take advantage of her. Zhang Lan was not surprised at her words at all and interrupted her.
“Aunt, you don’t know. We were chased out by the main family and almost slept on the streets. We even borrowed a sum of money to build this house.”
“As for the land we bought, it’s all slopes that no one wants. It’s really difficult for us now. Aunt, why don’t you help me?”
Seeing that Zhang Lan was crying wolf more than she could, Ji Guizhi stopped pretending. Since she couldn’t get any benefits from being soft, she simply turned cold.
“Alright, stop pretending. There was a rich madam who came to your house to give you a gift just now. Don’t tell me that you don’t have money.”
“If it weren’t for me, would you be able to marry Zhou Yu and have such a good life today? If you have a conscience, quickly take out some money and help your cousin repay his debt. Otherwise, I won’t leave and let the people on the streets see how nasty you are, you ungrateful thing!”
Li Yanru nervously held Zhang Lan’s arm and whispered, “Sister, don’t give her money. You don’t know that our cousin is involved in gambling and his family has lost everything. If you give it to her this time, Second Aunt will definitely pester you for life.”
Seeing Li Yanru and Zhang Lan whispering to each other, Ji Guizhi immediately flew into a rage. “Li, you b*tch, what are you muttering about? Don’t egg your sister on not to give me money!”
Zhang Lan was also stubborn. She insisted that her family had no money and threw a bag of sweet potatoes to Ji Guizhi. “If you want money, we don’t have it even if you beat us to death. It’s not easy for you to come here. Take this bag of sweet potatoes back. We can’t give you anything else.”
“Zhang Lan, you ingrate. You want to send me away with a bag of sweet potatoes? Don’t even think about it…”
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Chiyu suddenly jumped down from the top of the wall. With a crack, a stick as thick as an arm broke.
Ji Guizhi was so frightened that she didn’t dare to make a sound.
“Aunt, you should take the sweet potatoes and leave. Otherwise, even this bag of sweet potatoes will be gone.”
Fearing Wei Chiyu’s reputation, Ji Guizhi didn’t dare to say anything else. She was truly afraid that she wouldn’t even have a bag of sweet potatoes.
Hence, she grabbed the bag of sweet potatoes and ran out of the Zhou family’s house.
Immediately, laughter sounded in the courtyard.
Li Yanru looked at Zhang Lan in surprise. “Sister, I haven’t seen you for so long. I realized that you’ve changed a lot.”
Zhang Lan smiled. “I have to grow up. If I’m still as weak as before, how can I protect my children?”
As she spoke, she looked lovingly at the three children in the courtyard.
Li Yanru nodded in relief. “Husband has always been worried about Sister. Seeing you like this, we are relieved.”
The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries and called Zhang Ze, who was talking to Zhou Yu, to leave.
Zhang Lan and Zhou Xiaoli brought out a bag of sweet potatoes, a bag of fine noodles, a bag of rice, two pieces of bacon, and a smoked chicken. They placed them all on their uncle’s cart.
The two of them kept refusing.
“Sis, Sis, what are you doing? We only brought a few steamed buns when we came. Why are you giving us so much back? It’s not easy for you and our
Brother-in -law too.”
Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu stopped them from moving the things out of the cart.
In the end, after the two sides argued for a long time, Uncle finally accepted the gift and said goodbye to them with a smile.
Zhou Xiaoli stood at the door and looked at the ‘battle’ of giving gifts. She felt a little emotional. It turned out that giving gifts was a tradition.
However, Zhou Xiaoli looked at Wei Chiyu and smiled. “Thank you, Little Junior
Brother. I didn’t expect that your tyranny would be so useful one day.”
Two days after the house-warming banquet ended, a carriage arrived at the entrance of the Zhou residence. It was sent by Zhang Yan to bring Zhou Xiaoli into the Zhao residence..
