Chapter 9: Zhao Pozi Had No One to Complain To

Of course, they didn’t dare to spread the word.

Firstly, they were afraid that Bai Ru Qiao wouldn’t give them the antidote.

Secondly, they were afraid that if it got out, Zhao Lao San would never be able to find a wife.

They gritted their teeth, and Zhao Pozi immediately went over to help her son up.

Just then, Zhao Gen Sheng stepped through the gate.

Behind him was a group of people who had come to watch the show, as well as the village head and Fang Hanwu, who were both looking grim.

Zhao Gen Sheng saw the broken gate and his already gloomy face darkened even further.

He walked into the courtyard, saw the four of them facing each other, and opened his mouth to say something.

But Bai Ru Qiao suddenly said,

“Dad, and the village head and team leader, you’re just in time. My mother just said she wants to split the family.”

Her voice was soft and gentle, but it made everyone’s faces change.

Zhao Pozi was stunned.

Zhao Gen Sheng’s feet wobbled, and he almost fell. Then he looked at Zhao Pozi in shock.

Zhao Pozi immediately said, “I… “

Bai Ru Qiao turned her head and said softly, “Antidote…”

Zhao Pozi’s voice suddenly seemed to be stuck in her throat.

Zhao Lao San also quickly hugged her arm, “Mom, Mom…”

Zhao Pozi felt like she had swallowed gall. She had no one to complain to and could only shake with anger.

The village head and Fang Hanwu were also surprised when they heard this.

They looked at each other and both walked in.

“You want to split the family?”

Zhao Gen Sheng immediately said, “Impossible, how can you split the family when your parents are still alive? Village head, team leader, that woman is probably just talking nonsense.”

Then he looked at Zhao Sihai and Bai Ru Qiao with a sullen face, forcing a smile.

“Sihai, Ru Qiao, your mother is just talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously.”

Bai Ru Qiao blinked in feigned innocence.

She turned to look at Zhao Pozi, with a simple and innocent expression.

“Oh? Mom, you’re really just talking nonsense? You didn’t want us to leave with nothing, did you?”

The gentler her smile, the more violently Zhao Lao San trembled.

He had been chasing Bai Ru Qiao for years, and he had never realized that she was such a terrifying person.

Zhao Pozi was panting heavily, her face as red as pig liver.

Looking at Bai Ru Qiao’s bright and charming smile.

She wanted to rush forward and tear her to shreds.

But now that she had been caught by the throat, she had to swallow this bitter pill no matter what.

The crowd around gasped.

They were trying to kick them out because Zhao Sihai had been discharged from the army and they couldn’t get any more money from him.

How could this woman be so heartless?

When she didn’t hear Zhao Pozi respond, Zhao Gen Sheng also became anxious.

“You speak up.” This woman wouldn’t really be stupid enough to want to split the family, would she?

Lao Si hadn’t lost an arm or a leg, how could he support the family if they split?

Zhao Pozi was already furious, and now that Zhao Gen Sheng had yelled at her, she was like a volcano erupting.

She immediately yelled back at him,

“Split the family, we must split the family today. Zhao Gen Sheng, if you don’t agree, I’ll divorce you!”

Zhao Gen Sheng was stunned by her shout, and his face became even uglier.

“I, I don’t agree!” Zhao Gen Sheng took a few deep breaths before he could find his voice.

Zhao Pozi’s eyes were fierce, “Then get a divorce. The son is mine, and the house was built with my money. You can get out.”

Zhao Lao San also cried and shouted, “Dad, I want to split the family. Today, there’s no room for me in this house with them.”

The onlookers outside had a new perspective on this bizarre family.

They had done something wrong, but they acted as if they had been wronged.

Zhao Sihai was really unlucky to be born into this family.

Zhao Gen Sheng was so angry that he clutched his chest.

At this time, Fang Hanwu, who had received a signal from Zhao Sihai, spoke up.

“Since you’ve decided to split the family, I’m here to be a witness.”

The village head also nodded, “Let’s go inside and sit down and talk.”

Unfortunately, no one moved.

Zhao Sihai suddenly sighed, his face full of disappointment.

“Since Mom insists, then let’s split.” He turned around and went back into the house, taking out a suitcase from his canvas bag.

Then he moved a table out and opened the suitcase.

“Forget about the things from before, the house will be left to Lao San. We’ll just take our current belongings and leave.”

Bai Ru Qiao also went over, her hand gently resting on Zhao Sihai’s shoulder, as if comforting him.

Then she looked at Zhao Pozi and said softly,

“Yes, we don’t want the salary and coupons that Hai Ge earned before.”

The words were spoken, but the eyes didn’t reflect the same sentiment.

Zhao Pozi almost choked on her breath.

The people outside sighed.

Ah, this couple, Sihai and his wife, they really have no words.

It’s a pity that the Zhao family doesn’t appreciate their blessings.

Zhao Pozi spoke in a trembling voice, her voice hoarse and unpleasant.

“No, since we’re splitting, we need to settle everything clearly, so we won’t have any disputes later!”

Her words were almost squeezed out of her throat.

Her eyes were filled with venom as she looked at Bai Ru Qiao.

Bai Ru Qiao immediately pretended to be afraid and lowered her head.

Zhao Sihai sighed,

“Since Mom insists on settling things, then let’s start from when I got married.

Over the past four years, I’ve sent back about 1,400 yuan in salary, and I can’t remember the coupons…”

At this time, Bai Ru Qiao also spoke.

“Hai Ge, why do we need to be so clear-cut with each other? If Mom really feels bad about it, just give us 300 yuan and 300 kilograms of grain coupons.

Forget about the rest, consider it as our filial piety to our parents, and the dowry for San Ge to marry a wife.”

Although Zhao Pozi was stingy, she knew that she hadn’t saved much money over the years.

Most of it had been sent back to her family.

Zhao Pozi’s family was in the north.

But their family background was problematic, so they weren’t doing well.

Last year, the situation began to stabilize and become clear.

Her family sent a letter asking for a large sum of money, claiming that they might be rehabilitated.

Zhao Pozi still had the idea that her family would be rehabilitated and they would be able to take them back to the city.

She gave them the money readily and generously.

So, she estimated that Zhao Pozi only had about 700 yuan left.

It was for Zhao Lao San to marry a wife.

She had paid 100 yuan yesterday, and 300 yuan now would be just right.

She didn’t want to push them too hard for now.

After all, their family would need to pass a political review in the future.

She had to get rid of this toxic tumor in a way that was both legitimate and reasonable.

Zhao Pozi started to clutch her chest.

She wanted to argue, she wanted to scold, she wanted to ignore everything.

But the pain in her arm reminded her that she couldn’t.

Her lips trembled as she looked at Bai Ru Qiao’s clear eyes.

She took a few deep breaths and said angrily, “Fine, that’s it, write!”

Zhao Gen Sheng looked at Zhao Pozi as if she were crazy.

But Zhao Pozi always had the final say in this family.

If he really interfered today, he didn’t know what kind of mess she would make.

Zhao Sihai sighed deeply and began to write.

The people outside had already become envious and jealous when they heard Zhao Sihai say that he had earned over a thousand yuan.

They didn’t expect Zhao Sihai to earn so much.

Moreover, this was just the money and coupons he had earned over the past four years.

He had been a soldier for eight years.

Zhao Sihai was writing while reading aloud.

Zhao Xiao Hui, who had been hiding in the room, finally couldn’t help but rush out.

“Bu su di, o ang ma xi bi te mo wu xi di (It’s not true, my mom was threatened by them).”

But she had been beaten by Zhao Pozi, her nose was bruised and swollen, and she had lost two teeth.

She spoke too quickly, and for a moment, everyone couldn’t understand her clearly.

Zhao Pozi’s face changed.

She suddenly turned around and grabbed Zhao Xiao Hui’s hair, slapping her several times.

“I’m splitting the family, there’s no room for you to speak here. Lao San, take this disgraceful thing back to the room.”

Zhao Xiao Hui’s head buzzed from the beating.

Zhao Lao San was afraid that she would disrupt things, so he pulled and dragged her into the room with all his might.

Zhao Gen Sheng had no energy left. His face was ashen as he sat down on the ground.

Zhao Pozi clenched her fist tightly and turned to face the two of them.

“Anything else, hurry up and write!”

Zhao Sihai pursed his lips and finally wrote down a sentence, “Monthly allowance of 5 yuan for the two elders.”

Then he handed it to the village head and the team leader to look at.

They looked it over and asked Zhao Pozi if she had any other suggestions.

Zhao Pozi’s face was gloomy, her facial muscles twitching.

She gritted her teeth and said, “No.”

Although the two of them were surprised that Zhao Pozi was so easygoing today, they didn’t think much of it and nodded.
