Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s

Part 138 Instigation

Sinian's heart sank, and she quickly stopped her bike, holding Yaoyao as she hurried into the house.

Before she even entered the living room, she heard a familiar female voice: "You little brat, I'm your aunt. How dare you help an outsider scold me? Are you trying to anger me to death?"

Sinian rushed in and saw Zhoutingtang fiercely pulling on her younger brother's ear, her face twisted in a cruel expression.

"Don't enter my mom's room, don't you dare go in! You're a bad person!" Her younger brother wailed, tears streaming down his cheeks, holding onto Zhoutingtang's leg tightly, not letting her go upstairs even though his ears were turning red.

Zhoudong's face was dark and menacing as he clenched his fists, glaring fiercely at Zhoutingtang.

The man beside them grew impatient. "Enough already, hurry up! My mom is still waiting to bail my brother out! Can't you stop wasting time? Isn't this your home?"

Upon hearing this, Sinian rushed forward, pushed Zhoutingtang aside, and snatched her younger brother into her arms, giving Zhoutingtang a cold stare. "Zhoutingtang, what are you doing?"

Zhoutingtang became angry at the sight of Sinian. It was all because of this damned woman. She caused her mother-in-law to lose her job, her younger brother to be taken to the police station, and now that her younger brother had a criminal record, her own children wouldn't be able to take the civil service exams in the future, affecting the whole family!

She even instigated her eldest brother. He didn't even inform her about his marriage. If it weren't for her friend's phone call, she wouldn't have known that her eldest brother got married yesterday!

Originally, her eldest brother, although indifferent, wouldn't have excluded her from his wedding.

It was obvious that Sinian was instigating behind her back!

She was suffering miserably, while Sinian was living comfortably.

She just wanted to take possession of her eldest brother's inheritance, so she destroyed all the relationships with people close to the Zhou family. She was simply despicable.

Zhoutingtang was filled with hatred. She came back to take her eldest brother's bank book. She knew that there must be a lot of money in her eldest brother's bank book. This bank book was left to her and her sister by her eldest brother when he was serving in the army, and the money was all stored there.

She also knew the password and just wanted to take it to withdraw money and find connections to get her younger brother out.

Her in-laws threatened her that if she didn't get her younger brother out, they would divorce her!

These days, divorce meant something, and Zhoutingtang knew it better than anyone else. Moreover, having become accustomed to the good life in the city, Zhoutingtang was unwilling to return to the countryside. She couldn't afford to lose this man, so naturally, she didn't want to leave.

So she had to run back once.

"What business is it of yours? When I come back to my own home to discipline my sister's children, I don't need your approval."

"You little brat, get out of my way. He's your uncle, not a stranger!" Zhoutingtang impatiently raised her hand to push Zhoudong.

She had always found her sister's children unpleasant. When her sister died, the three children wanted her to take care of them. Zhoutingtang was already married and naturally unwilling, so she urged her brother to come home!

But before her brother returned, she had also helped take care of them for a few days.

Unexpectedly, now they were so ungrateful, helping outsiders bully their own close aunt!

It infuriated her.

Her brother had been enchanted by this vixen, but how could even these children defend this woman?

She was their stepmother, how could they possibly treat her own niece this way?

Zhoudong took two steps back and then stepped forward again.

This niece had previously brought people to beat them and had also helped Granny Liu bully them.

And now she was bringing her uncle over, wanting to go upstairs without any explanation.

He knew they must have some bad intentions.

He definitely didn't want them to go upstairs.

"One, this isn't your home. This house was built by Zhou Yueshen in recent years. He bought the land himself, and it has nothing to do with your Zhou family. And if I remember correctly, your Zhou family's old house should be at the end of the village not far from here. That's where you should be going."

"Two, Xiaodong and Xiaohan are indeed your sister's children, and you can discipline them. But that was in the past. Now that I'm married to Zhou Yueshen, my name is on Zhou Yueshen's household registration, and the two children are on our household registration. They are my children. Why do you have the right to discipline my children?"

"Three, if you don't want to be sent to the police station again for trespassing, I suggest you get out."

Sinian's words ripped off Zhoutingtang's facade, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

She knew Sinian was arrogant, but she never expected Sinian, who had married her brother, to be so arrogant.

Especially in front of her husband, being so disrespectful and telling her to get out without giving her any face, Zhoutingtang's face twisted in anger.

Finally, she turned to Zhoudong and said in a low voice, "Xiaodong, look, this is the stepmother you're protecting. Look at how she's driving your relatives away! She just wants to take over the Zhou family's belongings. Now she's driving me away, and in the future, she'll drive you three siblings away!"

But Zhou Zedong kept his eyes on Sinian. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. It was originally the little aunt's own problem, and now she kept causing trouble, which was really annoying.

So he withdrew his gaze, his black eyes unusually calm and indifferent. "Mom won't tell me to leave, because I'm not a bad person."

He didn't wait for Zhoutingtang to change her expression before continuing, "Aunt helped Granny Liu bully us, and even brought people to beat us. Now she wants to steal things. You're just like Granny Liu, not a good person. I don't like you."

Zhou Zehan also shouted loudly, "I hate you too! Don't come to our house!"

Zhoutingtang's face twisted with anger, feeling utterly humiliated.

Her husband, Li Jiaming, had an equally unpleasant expression. He couldn't believe his wife's status in the Zhou family was so low, even the children didn't give her any face.

They had thought her family ran a pig farm and made a lot of money, so he had always treated her with respect at home!

He had even thought that if the Zhou family became prosperous in the future, they could benefit from it.

But now, not only did she not help the Li family, she also got her brother into trouble, and his mother got reported and lost her job.

Now, because of his brother's impending conviction, he was worried sick.

His own job would be affected, and even future children would be implicated.

That's why he had to take leave and come back to the Zhou family with his wife to try to sort things out.

He couldn't apologize, of course!

But in order to make connections, they had spent a lot of money during this time, and their home was almost emptied.

Li Jiaming naturally blamed his wife, feeling that her own brother had driven them to this point, yet she had been useless. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
