Chapter 983: A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken

Old Mrs. Xiao is a typical person who uses people when she needs them and discards them when she doesn't.

Back in the detention center, she needed Zhang Guifen to back her up, so she was extremely polite to Zhang Guifen at that time, treating her like her own daughter.

But in reality, she looked down on a vulgar village woman like Zhang Guifen.

Therefore, from the day she left the detention center, she had completely forgotten about Zhang Guifen.

To her, Zhang Guifen was just a tool that had to be used during a special period. Once that special period passed, she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Guifen anymore.

But she never expected that this Zhang Guifen would appear in her house for no reason!

Zhang Guifen also didn't expect the old lady to deny everything she had done.

In her view, it was clearly you, Old Mrs. Xiao, who got us out, arranged for a driver to pick us up to Tang Chen One, and even registered our fingerprints on the gate. Why are you denying it now?

Thinking of this, Zhang Guifen asked with a face full of confusion, "Old lady, what’s wrong with you? You did all these good deeds, why don't you want to admit it now?"

"Yeah!" Li Yueqin and Dong Yuling also gathered around and asked uncomprehendingly, "Old lady, you clearly did all these things, why are you denying it? Why is that?"

Old Mrs. Xiao was surrounded by the three of them, feeling the smelly odor on their bodies, and felt a wave of dizziness, choking her into a fit of coughing.

These three didn't pay much attention to personal hygiene, and plus it was winter, they wore thick clothes, didn't pay attention to hygiene, didn't bathe much, and didn't change clothes much, so the three of them had a very strong body odor.

Now that the three of them were surrounding the old lady, the smell was even more sour and refreshing.

Old Mrs. Xiao covered her nose and said with extreme grievance, "Guifen, you really misunderstood, I really didn't do these things..."

Zhang Guifen grinned, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, and laughed, "Oh, old lady, I know you’re kind-hearted, and there are some things you might not want to say, but it doesn't matter. After all, the bond between us prison mates is very deep! Now that the three of us are out, from now on, we’ll stay by your side and serve you well!"

Dong Yuling on the side also said, "Yeah, old lady, before you came back, the three of us had already arranged the rooms. It’s fortunate that your villa is big enough and has enough rooms. From now on, the three of us will live here, and you will be our own mother!"

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao was furious and blurted out, "You’ve already arranged the rooms? Who gave you the authority?!"

Dong Yuling didn't expect the old lady to suddenly get angry and hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong, old lady? You let us come here to live with you, so we definitely have to divide the rooms!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was shaking with anger and said angrily, "This is my house. I won't pursue you for breaking in without permission, but who gave you the authority to divide the bedrooms in my house?! Get out of here immediately!"

Xiao Weiwei hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Grandma, we are short of hands right now, why not let them help, and let them leave after Dad and Brother’s situation gets better."

Old Mrs. Xiao waved her hand and said coldly, "Even if we are short of hands, we can't let them stay here. They smell like this, letting them stay for even one more minute is shortening my life! Besides, Mr. Wu will arrange helpers for us, and they will definitely be ten thousand times better than these three smelly old women!"

After saying that, she looked at Zhang Guifen and said sternly, "You three, get out of here immediately!"

Zhang Guifen was stunned!

She looked at Old Mrs. Xiao and said in disbelief, "Old lady, you’re telling us to get out? This is too much! Don't forget, back in the detention center, it was the three of us who always took care of you and helped you, and even your daughter-in-law Ma Lan was taught a lesson by us!"

Old Mrs. Xiao asked viciously, "Did I ask you to help me? When did I ever say to let you teach Ma Lan a lesson? It was completely because you didn't like Ma Lan that you beat her!"

Zhang Guifen was utterly disappointed, "Old Mrs. Xiao, you really turn your face faster than turning a book! We protected you so much in the detention center, I never expected such a result!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said expressionlessly, "I’m really sorry to disappoint you, but this is also a lesson for you, telling you to recognize your own status in the future and not always think about climbing the social ladder!"

Zhang Guifen gritted her teeth and said, "Oh, so that’s how you talk, old lady? Fine! Then I’m not leaving! Let’s see what you can do to me!"

Li Yueqin and Dong Yuling also chimed in, "Yeah! We’re not leaving!"

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't expect these three to still want to act shamelessly, so she said coldly, "Don't act shamelessly with me. You should look in the mirror. Do you, these vulgar bumpkins who smell so bad, deserve to live in this big Tang Chen One villa? If even you can live in such a luxurious villa, then heaven really has no eyes!"

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Xiao said with arrogance, "When I was in the detention center, that was a fallen phoenix falling into a chicken coop, forced to live in a chicken coop for two days. Did you really think I was the same kind of person as you?"

Li Yueqin cursed, "Old Mrs. Xiao! As the saying goes, a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken! You dead old woman, don't be too much! If you annoy us, even if you’re old, we’ll still beat you!"

"Yeah!" Dong Yuling also immediately chimed in, "We could beat Ma Lan back then, we can beat you now!"

Old Mrs. Xiao pouted, "Try beating me. If you dare to lay a hand on me, I’ll call the police immediately! I’ll definitely have you bumpkins arrested again!"

Zhang Guifen also clenched her fists, her hot temper making her want to punch Old Mrs. Xiao right now.

However, she thought of the prison guard’s instructions before she came out, and she thought to herself, "The prison guard said that we are currently on bail pending trial. Although we have temporary personal freedom, we must abide by the law. Otherwise, if we break the law or cause trouble, it’s very likely we’ll be arrested again, and not only will we have to serve the rest of our sentences, but it might even be aggravated!"

Thinking of this, she had to suppress the anger in her heart and said coldly, "Old lady, I can see it now, you’re just playing with us because you’re bored, right? Since you think we aren't good enough for you, then we’ll leave, is that okay?"

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Better leave quickly, otherwise I’ll call the police immediately!"

Zhang Guifen gritted her teeth and said to the two people beside her, "Fine, no matter what, we were released early, there’s no need to go back for this little thing. Pack your things, we’re leaving!"

The other two, although unwilling, didn't dare to act rashly at this time, fearing they would be sent back to the detention center, so they could only nod dejectedly.

The three of them packed their things angrily and disappointedly, carrying their bedding rolls, ready to leave.

Old Mrs. Xiao supervised them the whole time, and seeing that they had packed their things, she fanned the air in front of her nose and said with extreme disgust, "Oh my, I’m going to die from the smell! Get out, get out as far as you can. If you dare to come again, I’ll call the police to arrest you immediately!"

Zhang Guifen felt great humiliation, but because she was afraid of causing trouble, she could only grit her teeth and endure it, saying to the two people beside her, "Let’s go!"

Just then, seven or eight strong men suddenly pushed the door and entered. Seeing this situation, they asked, "What’s going on? Where are you three going?"

Zhang Guifen thought these fierce-looking strong men were all hired by Old Mrs. Xiao, and she was nervous, saying, "Brothers, don't be impulsive, we’re leaving! We’re leaving!"

The leader said coldly, "Leave? Leave where?! Our Mr. Wu said, from now on, you three can just treat this place as your own home. This house is his, not Old Mrs. Xiao’s. Old Mrs. Xiao, like you, is just staying here. So, as long as our Mr. Wu nods, even the King of Heaven has no right to kick you out!"
