The Chief Minister’s Ferocious Wife - Chapter 179
179 Send You on Your Way
Zhao Chuchu revealed the Kong family’s ploy. This caused them to be annoyed.
“Who are you to speak here? Shut the hell up! Who do you think you are? You’re just a woman. How dare you speak to your elders like that? Do you know who I am? I’m Da Lang’s grandmother! I am someone you have to bow to show respect to.” Old Mrs. Kong pointed at Zhao Chuchu and scolded her.
Zhao Chuchu looked her up and down. “If you were dead, I don’t mind bowing to you and showing some respect.”
“You, you…”
!!
Old Mrs. Kong was so angry that she leaned backward.
“Da Lang, come and see what kind of a daughter-in-law you have married? There’s no sense of breeding or manners. Is there anyone who speaks to her elders like that?” The first aunt rushed to the door and snarled.
Second aunt also stared coldly at Zhao Chuchu. “Aren’t you afraid of being punished by god for saying such words?”
“You are all alive and well. Why should I die?” Zhao Chuchu snickered. “Don’t be afraid. What you are worried about will not happen!”
The three looked at Zhao Chuchu with a grimace.
“It’s not that easy to set me up to get what’s mine.” Zhao Chuchu looked at them. “Of course, you can choose to take it by force if you want to. However, I don’t know if you can keep your legs if you do so. Don’t worry. I’ll be gentle and cure your legs for you.”
Zhao Chuchu’s expression was very calm, but the people of the Kong family could not help but shiver when they heard those words.
Zhao Chuchu would definitely keep her word!
This also sent chills down their backs.
A few moments later, Old Mrs. Kong sat down on the ground and howled. “My life is so bitter, my dear daughter. Why did you have to die so early? If you were still alive, how would you let your daughter-in-law do this to your mother? I can’t live with this anymore…”
Zhao Chuchu cocked her brows.
How could Xie Heng have such a weird grandmother?
Zhao Chuchu used the cover of her figure to pull a dagger out of the carry-on space behind her.
Swoosh!
The dagger was stuck into the ground about three inches before Old Mrs. Kong. This caused her to shut up, and her face was full of fear.
Zhao Chuchu raised her chin. “Well, there’s the dagger for you. You can choose to commit suicide now, and Da Lang can send you on your way.”
This action subdued the women of the Kong family.
Old Mrs. Kong’s mouth was agape for a while but made no sound.
“Weren’t you just being all emotional? Here’s the knife. Why are you backing down now?” Zhao Chuchu sneered. Such people only knew how to be unreasonable with words. In reality, they were just cowards.
Only honest people would be scared by her actions. If it were someone like Zhao Chuchu, who had lived through the end of the world, even if Old Mrs. Kong died in front of her, she wouldn’t even blink her eyes.
“Who is she trying to scare?”
“Are you trying to force your grandmother to die?” It took a moment for the first aunt to find her voice. “You are simply treacherous and heartless.”
“Look at you. She was the one who said she didn’t want to live anymore. I didn’t force her to die. I was doing a good deed and helping her out, so how is that my fault? Don’t think that just because you have a bigger head and are older would make your words more reasonable.”
“You, you…” The first aunt was at a loss for words after hearing Zhao Chuchu’s words.
Second aunt said sternly, “Zhao Chuchu, why are you so vicious?”
Zhao Chuchu laughed, then her eyes turned dark as she looked at them. She asked, “Don’t be modest. In terms of viciousness, who can be more vicious than you? When one of the brothers was blind, and the other was sick, where were you?”
“Now that Da Lang is getting better, you decide to show up and tell him what to do in his house with the attitude of elders! Even if his parents are still alive, there is no reason for you to come to the Xie family and boss him around!”
“When Junjun was dying, I, Zhao Chuchu, took care of him, not you relatives whose conscience was eaten by dogs. It was me, Zhao Chuchu, who cured Da Lang’s eyes, not you relatives who never gave the brothers half a penny and showed up when you think there’s something you can take advantage of!”
In a fury, Xie Heng’s first and second uncles rushed in.
“I’ll teach you a good lesson today for my sister. You’re just a shrew who doesn’t know how to behave.”
“Stop wasting your time talking to her. Beat her up first. Da Lang has spoiled her. Sooner or later, she will become trouble!”
“If you so much as lay a finger on Chuchu, I’ll guarantee that you lose your scholar titles tomorrow.” Xie Heng walked in, and his icy gaze fell on those of the Kong family.
“Chuchu is right. Even if my parents are still alive, you still won’t have the right to come to my house and tell me what to do! You are only my elders if I respect you as my elders. If I don’t, I can just beat you out with a stick.”
“Da Lang, you are an intellect. Don’t you understand the importance of filial piety? If you dare to do this today, tomorrow, the whole Guangqing province will be able to know about your actions, and then I will see how you are going to enter the government?”
“How can the righteous extermination of relatives involve filial piety?”
Xie Heng smiled and laughed.
The first and second uncles panicked inwardly.
Xie Heng asked, “Do you want me to chase you out or ask you to leave? If it is the former, I am afraid your hard-earned scholar titles will be lost. If it’s the latter, you may still be able to walk around during the New Year holidays.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Hmm? Isn’t it obvious?”
The brothers of the Kong family looked at Xie Heng incredulously.
“Oh, by the way, don’t come to Lengshui Village in the future. I’m not a man of reason. Things such as the righteous extermination of relatives will take some time to get used to, but I’ll get used to it after a few times. Not only the Kong family, even if the Xie family offended Chuchu, I won’t let them off so easily.”
“Da Lang, are you crazy?”
Xie Heng smiled but didn’t say anything.
The people of Kong family’s hearts trembled.
Old Mrs. Kong remembered the purpose of her trip. “Okay, other than that, I’m your grandmother. Shouldn’t you do your filial duty for your mother?”
“Junjun is now seriously ill, grandmother. You not only didn’t help but want to take the money I’ve saved to cure my brother? Since this is the case, I will still do it even if I will be punished for using my elders.”
“Xie Heng, you won’t dare!”
Old Mrs. Kong had not yet spoken. Her two sons became anxious first.
“Do you want to bet on it?” Xie Heng’s gaze darkened as he stared at them sorrowfully. “If you keep on making things difficult for us, this is what we’ll do.”
“Don’t do anything reckless.”
“Then get out!” Xie Heng pointed at the door and said in a stern voice.
At this moment, he was as cold as ice, and his aura was so appalling that the people of the Kong family subconsciously took a step back.
Xie Heng stepped forward. “If you don’t want to die, don’t let me see you in the future. Otherwise, I will make sure the Kong family has one less scholar every time we meet.”
“Xie Heng, do you know who you are talking to?” Old Mrs. Kong trembled. “If you treat me like this, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
Xie Heng suddenly looked at Old Mrs. Kong. “When it’s late at night, are you afraid of having your window knocked on? Grandmother, only after doing too many heartless deeds will you believe in retribution.”
When Old Mrs. Kong heard these words, the blood on her face faded, and she looked at Xie Heng as if she had seen a ghost.
Just now, she was still talking nonsense, but she hurriedly pulled her two sons and ran out without looking back.
