The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme - Chapter 410
Chapter 410: Chapter 397: Lowly Bones
Zhang Xiangrui jolted up as he touched his hand and saw the deep red on it.
Bastard!
Is it even human?
Your own brother comes to visit you, and without a single word, you drive him away, even knocking his nose bloody?
How cold is your heart really!
He hadn’t achieved his goal and suffered such a setback instead. Zhang Xiangrui felt extremely wronged as he kicked the door violently several times, making loud noises.
It attracted the attention of passers-by, and people from the nearby shop, all looking curiously at the scene.
“What are you looking at!” Zhang Xiangrui bellowed, his face bleeding from the nose.
Zhang Xiangrui, in his rage, looked sinister, his nosebleed smeared all over his face, making him appear even more frightening.
Seeing Zhang Xiangrui in such a state, no one from the tofu shop responded, and bystanders hastily averted their eyes to avoid provoking him further.
Each one of them, always bullying the weak and fawning over the powerful, they are all spineless cowards!
Zhang Xiangrui spat, covering his still bleeding nose, turned, and walked away.
Not so long ago, Zhang Xiangrong closed the main gates, but Mrs. Cao knew of Zhang Xiangrui’s persistent and pedantic temperament. Afraid that he might cause trouble at the gate, she listened attentively for a long time.
Seeing no sound outside, and Zhang Xiangrui clutching his nose and leaving, Mrs. Cao finally sighed in relief and returned to the backyard.
Zhang Xiangrong, feeling somewhat awkward, looked at Mrs. Liu, and said, “Mother, I drove away my younger brother just now, he… Don’t be angry…”
“What anger?” Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows, “I know all too well the nature of my own child. This second child of mine has always been selfish since he was small, and he was spoiled terribly by his father. His temperament has been getting worse.”
“At the time of the family division, I told his father not to give anything to the second child’s family. His father didn’t believe me, he thought the second child was good, but later he knew, right?”
“It’s not that I’m heartless as a mother, but when someone does something wrong, they should be punished severely so that they can learn. Otherwise, who knows what they will do in the future!”
“When this second child was at home, he looked down on us every day. Now he comes to town to look for you. I don’t know what his plan is. In my opinion, seeing that we’re helping Miss Zhuang Qingning run a business, and that business is doing well, he might be thinking about getting some benefits.”
“There’s nothing wrong with what you did just now. You should drive the second child away and let him keep his evil thoughts to himself. Don’t make it public and invite ridicule and cold hearts.”
“Although Mrs. Liu is old, her words are strong and her voice is loud and impressive.”
Zhang Xiangrong nodded repeatedly, “Yes, Mother is right.”
“Not only this time, if the second child comes again in the future, and you feel something is not right, don’t be polite to him.”
Again, Mrs. Liu shouted, “Don’t talk about being brothers from the same mother. If you really are brothers, you should help each other in times of difficulty. This kind of person who enjoys others’ misfortunes and even insults you is no better than a stranger. He’s not a brother!”
“Mother knows you are honest and sentimental, and always considers others’ feelings. But you should remember that some people take advantage of this and push you around.”
“If someone is going to spoil your reputation, no matter what you do, it’s going to be ruined. If that’s the case, why bother trying to save face? It’s better to break the pot and let it go. At least it won’t make the villains happy.”
“I’m telling you this in case the second child comes back to make trouble in the future. Remember what I said and be prepared. You don’t have to worry about me being heartbroken.”
“In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if he’s my own son. If he does something wrong, he should still be punished.”
“Mother, I’ve memorized it. Don’t worry.”
Naturally, Zhang Xiangrong had some misgivings about throwing Zhang Xiangrui out like that. He was worried that Mrs. Liu, who was getting old, couldn’t bear to see her own son suffer.
Now that Mrs. Liu had said so, a heavy stone dropped in his heart.
Mrs. Cao, who was standing by, felt a bitter taste in her heart when she looked at Mrs. Liu.
What mother doesn’t love her own child?
Mrs. Liu is such a woman who knows how to love her children. But because of Zhang Xiangrui’s previous actions and words, she must be hurt and angry a lot.
Mrs. Liu’s heart must be full of resentment and discontent, which is why she’s so firm in her words now.
“Mother, should we tell Miss Zhuang about this?” Mrs. Cao asked.
Although this was a matter of her own family, they were now working for Zhuang Qingning. If Zhang Xiangrui did something in his rage that affected the business, it could hurt the shop’s operation.
Mrs. Liu nodded, “Yes, let’s tell Miss Zhuang. Just explain everything honestly, and apologize to her. Tell her how we plan to handle this so she can feel at ease.”
“If the second child learns his lesson, it’s fine. But if he does something that hurts the business in the future… We’ll be responsible for the loss.”
“I understand, Mother. Alright, I’ll find a chance to talk to Miss Zhuang about this.” Mrs. Cao nodded, picked up the bowl again, and smiled, “I’m not sure if Qingsui was scared by what just happened.”
“Not at all.” Zhuang Qingsui shook his head and grinned, “Uncle Xiang Rong took action so quickly that I didn’t see anything before the person was gone. I didn’t even have time to react.”
“I have to admit, I was completely focused on my bowl of food. I was thinking if I ate another half bowl of steamed noodles, my stomach might be too full.”
Zhuang Qingsui was telling the truth.
Every family has its own problems. Since he started living with Zhuang Qingning as a female household, he had seen all kinds of people and heard about many things from each family. He’s heard quite a lot about the matter of Zhang Xiangrong and his brothers from the village gossip.
So at first, Zhuang Qingsui was not surprised and was only thinking about whether his little stomach would be too bloated if he ate another half bowl of steamed noodles.
