“Don’t worry, I’m not done yet,” Zhao Kuazi was being mysterious. “Do you know what attracts wolves the most? Naturally, it’s because there’s an ungrateful person in our village!
“This ingrate is the same species as the wolves on the mountain. How is he a human? That’s a beast if you ask me!”
As Zhao Kuazi spoke, her eyes would occasionally glance at Zhao Zhan, who was gradually approaching, and her eyes almost rolled back to her head.
The people sitting beside her quietly moved away from her.
If she hadn’t made it clear just now, then they now completely understood who Zhao Kuazi was scolding.
“Zhao Zhan, it’s broad daylight. Why are there vermin here?” As they walked past the group, Yue Jiaojiao casually asked further, “Is it because rats always hide in the dark and make noise, so we can’t find her?”
“Good one.”
“Zhao Kua Zi, your niece-in-law’s mouth is really sharp. She’s calling you a mouse, did you hear that?”
Qian, who was at odds with Zhao Kuazi in the village, laughed the loudest. She looked at Zhao Kuazi with spite. “You’ve been sick for so long recently. Could it be that you’re just angry with your own nephew?”
Qian lived next door to Zhao’s house.
The two of them had originally married into Willow Village from the same village. When they were little girls, the two of them often argued and wanted to be the best-looking girls in the village.
Even when they looked at each other, the two of them would compare who was more well off in life.
Qian Zi married into a well-to-do family. At that time, Zhao Kuazi had not reconciled for a long time. However, later, Zhao Kuazi worked hard and gave birth to three boys in a row. Qian Zi only managed to get a boy after giving birth to three daughters.
Zhao Kuazi could be considered to have ruthlessly stepped on Qian Kua Zi in terms of status now.
The two of them had completely shed all pretenses of cordiality.
“Qian Zi! Do you think you’re funny? They might be talking about you instead!”
“Who are you trying to play?” Qian Zi slapped her thigh and stood up, wanting to pull Zhao Zhan away. “Your aunt is already calling the young lady beside you a little vixen! Are you going to let that happen?”
Zhao Zhan dodged her hand and took Yue Jiaojiao’s hand. He took a step back and said coldly, “Qian Zai, I’m going to take a look at my family’s land now.”
Qian Zi was excited when she heard this.
“Oh! No wonder they said they were going to move out. Zhao Kuazi, what made you this generous? When were you willing to give the land to Zhao Zhan? Didn’t you say that the land belonged to your family?
“You guys don’t know, right? Ever since Zhao Zhan’s father passed away, Zhao Zhan’s life in that house has been inhuman. He wakes up before dawn to feed the animals, sweep the yard, and cook. He does all the chores at home. And even so, they still don’t give him proper meals.
“When Zhao Zhan was fifteen years old, if it wasn’t for the fact that he had a fever and the doctor said that he might get a spinal disease if he continued to drag it out, you wouldn’t have thrown such a young man out, right?
“If it were up to me, if it weren’t for Zhao Zhan’s good fortune and his excellent hunting skills, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have survived that winter when you sent him away!”
Qian Zi spoke so quickly that Zhao Kuazi didn’t have time to cover it up, and she already said everything with embellishments.
