Chapter 480: Chapter 480 Zhang Lancao Gets Scolded
“What are you doing?” Wu Qingsong quickly shook off Zhang Lancao’s hands, his face imdiately turning sour.
“Qingsong, you’re still in my heart, I can’t forget you.
Can we get back together, please?” Zhang Lancao cried out as she looked at Wu Qingsong.
But Wu Qingsong didn’t say a word and turned to leave.
Zhang Lancao watched Wu Qingsong’s retreating figure, collapsing to the ground and bursting into uncontrollable sobs.
Zhang Xiaoda didn’t know when he had appeared behind Zhang Lancao, his eyes filled with rage as he glared at her and cursed under his breath, “You shaless woman.
Grandma was right, you’re a flirtatious woman.”
Hearing her son’s words, Zhang Lancao trembled with anger and “smack,” her hand struck Zhang Xiaoda’s face.
“You ingrate, I’m doing all this for a better future for you and your brother.
Wu Qingsong is now richer than anyone in our village. If I were with him, considering he rembers your father, he would surely treat you and your brother well.
How can you be so foolish? All your grandma wants is for our family to serve your uncle’s family as servants.
She never treated you two as her real grandsons, do you think getting married doesn’t cost money?”
Zhang Xiaoda hesitated for a mont, then pointed at Zhang Lancao’s belly, “Then why did you marry soone else?”
“It’s because your grandma was using you and your brother to threaten , to get money for them,” Zhang Lancao said with tears in her eyes, “I’ve always had only your two brothers’ best interests at heart.
And you still curse at , you unfilial son.”
Zhang Xiaoda instantly felt a surge of guilt. He looked at Zhang Lancao and asked, “So, if you married Uncle Wu, our life would get better?”
Zhang Lancao nodded, but now the chance was gone.
Zhang Xiaoda, however, gazed thoughtfully after Wu Qingsong’s departing figure.
“Is it taken care of?” Gu Fuying asked Wu Qingsong upon his return, her tone far from pleasant.
Knowing he had made a mistake, Wu Qingsong was particularly obedient, “Mhm, it’s taken care of.
Let’s go back and continue our al.”
But Gu Fuying stood in his way, “You have nothing to say about what happened today?”
Gu Fuying was seething with anger, she had seen Wu Qingsong arguing with Zhang Lancao earlier. That bastard had been talking with Zhang Lancao behind her back for quite a while.
It infuriated her.
Wu Qingsong scratched his head, his face innocent, “Huh? Is there sothing else to say?”
This made Gu Fuying even angrier, her cheeks puffed up with rage, nowhere to vent.
“If you don’t apologize properly, then don’t bother seeing again.”
Wu Qingsong looked puzzled, “Are you unhappy that I helped Zhang Lancao?”
Gu Fuying exploded upon hearing this, “Am I such a heartless person?
She did you a favor, why wouldn’t I let you help her?
I’m mad because you talked with her for so long. How would you feel if I talked with my ex-boyfriend for that long?”
Wu Qingsong imdiately beca furious, pulled Gu Fuying into his arms, and retorted angrily, “You dare!”
Gu Fuying snorted coldly, “Well, you talked with your ex-girlfriend for so long.
She cries like that, and you must feel sorry for her in your heart.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Qingsong imdiately shook his head and explained, “What do you an I talked with her for a long ti? It was just for a few minutes.
Besides, I don’t feel sorry for her, I just think she really has it tough, losing her man so early.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Fuying beca even angrier and directly stomped on Wu Qingsong’s foot, “You’re thinking of being the man for soone who lost her husband early.
“Pah, you scumbag, I despise you.”
“Aw, Gu Fuying, are you jealous?” Wu Qingsong held onto her and wouldn’t let go, asking with a cheeky grin.
Gu Fuying gave him a dismissive look, “Hmph, jealous of you? In your dreams.”
“Fuying, what are you doing outside? Why aren’t you coming in to eat?” Xu Jingjing, having taken a man out to avoid drinking, happened to bump into the pair.
“Off you go, we just ca out for so air, it was a bit stuffy inside,” Wu Qingsong said laughing, and then he pulled Gu Fuying back into the restaurant.
No sooner had the two gone inside than Zhang Xiaoda and Zhang Lancao also entered the restaurant.
Xu Jingjing, noticing Zhang Lancao’s red eyes, grew curious, “It looks like Sister Lan Cao has been crying, her eyes are all red.”
Speaking of Zhang Lancao, Xu Jingjing felt a bit sentintal; here was another pitiable woman.
She lost her man early, left to fend for herself and her motherless children, raising two sons alone.
And to top it off, her in-laws were bloodsuckers, even having sold Sister Lan Cao off once.
“How pitiful indeed!”
“What’s there to pity? I don’t think she’s pitiful at all; she’s crafty.” Secretary Yang said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Xu Jingjing looked puzzled, “You know her?”
Secretary Yang was sowhat surprised, “You didn’t know Zhang Lancao and Huo Chen had a past relationship?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingjing’s face instantly beca awkward; she had just made arrangents to seat Fuying and Sister Lan Cao together.
Fuying probably didn’t know about these things.
She looked at Secretary Yang with full curiosity, “How did those two get together, not to ntion the age difference.
And Zhang Lancao is a widow, after all?”
Wu Qingsong was quite a catch, orphaned but capable; he made good money in business with Huo Chen and ca from a wealthy household.
Considering Zhang Lancao did date soone, given her mother-in-law’s greedy nature, why didn’t she sell her to Wu Qingsong?
“Sowhat, she’s a widow; what’s the harm if there’s love? It’s just that, unfortunately, Wu Qingsong and Huo Chen t with an accident while doing business.
Afraid of being implicated, she imdiately broke things off with Wu Qingsong,” Secretary Yang said, thinking this widow was really calculating.
Xu Jingjing’s expression grew even more bizarre; she would’ve never guessed.
Sister Lan Cao always seed so innocently straightforward and amiable; she hadn’t expected her to be so shrewd.
“How do you know about all this?” Xu Jingjing asked.
“We’re close friends; while drinking together, Wu Qingsong let it slip when he was drunk,” boasted Secretary Yang.
Xu Jingjing curled the corner of her mouth slightly, taking Secretary Yang with her into the restaurant; her attitude towards Zhang Lancao was no longer as friendly as before.
Gu Fuying was her sister, and naturally, she stood by her sister’s side, absolutely not going against her own.
When Zhang Lancao joined the dining table, her mother-in-law started acting all high and mighty.
“So people really do have the knack; they even get Village Chief Xu’s protection. They must be quite capable indeed,” Zhang Lancao’s mother-in-law said sarcastically.
The people sitting with her were sensible and imdiately spoke up upon hearing her remark, “Village Chief Xu supports whoever is in the right.
You better shut your mouth; our village chief is wholeheartedly devoted to the welfare of our village people.
If you keep talking nonsense, you can roll right out of our village.”
“That’s right; whoever dares to badmouth Village Chief Xu’s family, we all disagree.”
Zhang Lancao was so frightened by these people that she clamd up; she had no desire to be kicked out of the village.
Her son and daughter-in-law were working in the village factory; if she were to leave, how would they go to work?
