A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 76 Zhang Cuiju Turns Things Around

Hang's mother had gone to great lengths to make a scene, but had gained nothing and had become the target of public criticism. As soon as she went out, she had to face the villagers' unfriendly looks and words. No matter how capable she was, she could not withstand the criticism of the whole village.

After hiding at home for a few days, Hang's mother remembered that she had not been to Xiaoquan Village for several days, and she had not yet got the ten taels of silver back.

Early in the morning, when there were few people in the village, Hang's mother, who had been hiding for a few days, went out and hurried to Xiaoquan Village, determined to get the ten taels of silver back today.

When we arrived at Xiaoquan Village and walked towards Zhang Youcai's house, we saw a carriage parked in front of the door from afar. As we got closer, we could faintly hear laughter coming from the yard.

Mother Hang looked at the carriage, which looked quite impressive, and was obviously used by a wealthy family. She hurried inside, "Oh my! Why is there a carriage outside the door? Is there a distinguished guest at home?"

The laughter in the yard quieted down at this moment. It was just Zhang's mother and Zhang Dazhuang's wife flattering Zhang Cuiju, saying nice things to her without asking for money. Zhang Cuiju held her head high. The way they flattered her satisfied her vanity like never before. She had never felt so happy before.

The arrival of Hang's mother ended the hypocrisy. Zhang Cuiju rolled her eyes in disgust, and Zhang's mother asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

"Why do you ask me? Of course I'm here to collect a debt."

Zhang's mother said with a dark face: "You can't get the money. Go away, we don't welcome you."

"Why? I can go just because you tell me to? I'll leave if you give me the money." Hang's mother sat down shamelessly, looked around and said, "Don't we have a distinguished guest? Where is the distinguished guest? I want to show the distinguished guest what kind of faces you have."

"There is no distinguished guest, but there is a distinguished lady." Zhang Dazhuang's wife held Zhang Cuiju's stinky feet and said, "That is our sister Cuiju. She will be the distinguished lady from now on."

Zhang Cuiju was very pleased to hear this, she raised her hand to touch the hairpin on her hair and raised her chin high. Hang's mother then noticed that Zhang Cuiju was wearing a brand new dress today, with a silver hairpin on her head, and after dressing up, she looked quite pretty.

This outfit must cost a lot of money! She couldn't afford such an outfit herself. Could it be that she was lucky enough to be favored by some rich family?

"Oh, Cuiju, who has caught her eye? You know what, she looks really pretty in this outfit." After changing her mind, Hang's mother's expression suddenly changed, and she also praised her, "Our Zhang family is known for its beauties. Look at Cuiju, you can tell at a glance that she is blessed, just like the wife of a wealthy family in the city."

Zhang Cuiju enjoyed the feeling of being praised. She was so happy that she took out ten taels of silver from her purse and handed it to Hang's mother, saying generously, "Aunt, this is ten taels of silver. I'm paying you back on behalf of my parents."

This was a pleasant surprise for Hang's mother. She quickly took the silver and held it in her hand with great admiration. "If you ask me, Cui Ju is still promising. She is generous when she spends money."

Mother Zhang was heartbroken when she saw Zhang Cuiju giving out ten taels of silver. It would have been great if she had given it to her, but she didn't dare to offend her at the moment, as she was still hoping that she would be filial to her in the future!

Zhang Cuiju gave the money on impulse. In fact, she regretted it after Hang's mother took the money, but she put on a condescending attitude and for the sake of her face, she could not go back on her decision.

Fortunately, Hang's mother asked about something that made her proud, "Which wealthy family is Cui Ju going to?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuiju raised her head again and glanced at Zhang Dazhuang's wife. Of course, it would make her feel more superior when such things were said by someone else.

Zhang Dazhuang's wife was quite sensible, and she immediately said flatteringly, "Our sister is so lucky that she has been favored by the eldest young master of the Wan family in the city. He is going to take her back to be his concubine. She will definitely enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future, and our family will also benefit from it."

"What? The Wan family? Oh, this is such a great blessing." Mother Hang patted her thigh and kept saying "The Wan family is one of the best merchant families in the county. If Cui Ju can be brought into the Wan family, it will be a great honor for our Zhang family's ancestors!"

She excitedly held Zhang Cuiju's hand and said, "Cuiju! My dear niece, when you become successful in the future, don't forget your aunt! Your aunt has always been hoping for the best for you."

Zhang Cuiju pulled her hand back. She had not forgotten how many harsh words Hang's mother had said to her. Now that she was better, she fawned over her. Although she despised Hang's mother in her heart, she really liked the way she fawned over her at this moment, like a lowly old woman.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you know my daughter is fine now? What were you doing before? My daughter should show filial piety to me, what does it have to do with you?" Zhang's mother couldn't stand it anymore and said, "If you want someone to show filial piety, go find your son and daughter-in-law."

When Hang's mother heard about her son and daughter-in-law, she looked unhappy, "Don't mention that ungrateful bastard to me, I gave birth to him in vain, he was seduced by that little bitch, and now he won't listen to me?"

Her words aroused the interest of the three women in the Zhang family, and they began to ask questions. Hang's mother had been feeling very aggrieved recently, so she took this opportunity to vent and told them about the recent events in Shangtang Village. When she mentioned that Hang Shuheng was unwilling to accept the money, she was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, blaming all the sins on Song Ning.

Song Ning, who was far away in Shangtang Village, suddenly sneezed twice in succession, which attracted the concern of Hang Shuheng: "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold at night?"

"It's okay." Song Ning rubbed his nose and said, "I always feel like someone is scolding me behind my back."

When Zhang Cuiju learned that Hang Shuheng was so protective of Song Ning, she was jealous to the point of madness. But then she changed her mind and realized that she would soon be brought into the Wan family, and that the good days ahead would be something Song Ning would never be able to catch up with even if she tried her best, so she felt much better.

At this time, a waiter and a maid came in from outside the door and said respectfully to Zhang Cuiju, "Aunt, it's time for us to go."

Zhang Cuiju was very pleased with the servant's respect, and she pretended to scold him: "You are rude. Can't you see I am talking to my mother and sister-in-law? I will let the master punish you later."

The two servants were scolded by her and dared not refute her, which made her feel very satisfied. She slowly stood up and went out of the yard again. At this time, many villagers came to the door of Zhang's house. They all saw a carriage parked here and came to take a look.

At this time, seeing Zhang Cuiju coming out in a brand new outfit, people couldn't help but talk about it. Zhang Cuiju held her head high and walked towards the carriage in what she thought was the envy of everyone, preparing to board the carriage.

San Ya ran out from the yard and shouted reluctantly: "Mom, Mom..."
