136 I Didn’t Mind Your Stealing Her Man
Old Madam Ma and the others were absolutely furious.
But they didn’t dare to say a single word, despite being extrely mad.
They didn’t stand a chance against Zhao Chuchu, and they didn’t want to get their legs broken again.
The teenage boy from the Hu clan moved closer to Zhao ilan slowly, bit by bit. He cautiously tugged at Zhao ilan’s sleeve as he asked, “Big Sis, can I marry you? I don’t eat much, so I’m easy to feed.”
Zhao Chuchu almost burst out laughing when she heard that.
But Zhao ilan behaved like a startled bunny. She suddenly shoved the boy from the Hu clan away and took several steps back. “Don’t co near .”
The young boy pouted his lips as tears started rolling down his cheeks.
“Sister, why do you hate now?”
The young boy didn’t understand.
Zhao ilan treated him so well last ti.
Zhao Chuchu looked at the young boy who was crying his eyes out but bit his lip not to make any sound. He looked like he was around the sa age as Xie Heng, but he was behaving like a little child.
Zhao ilan felt angry with herself. This whole issue had nothing to do with him. It was Old Madam Ma who sched against them. She shouldn’t have taken it out on him.
“ilan, you’ve seen it. Yiming likes you. You’re a perfect couple,” Madam Zhu hurriedly said upon seeing what was happening. “We’re family, so I won’t bla you for stealing ijuan’s man!”
“That’s nonsense! He doesn’t know anything! Didn’t you hear him call Big Sis? Do you think a normal person would call soone younger than him Big Sis?” Madam He said with a stern expression.
“I don’t care whether you want them to get married. Anyway, what’s done is done. ilan’s reputation is down the drain now. Girls with reputations like that are to be drowned in the pond. I’m kind enough to let you have the boy. You should be grateful,” Madam Zhu said, as though she had just done sothing charitable.
Zhao Guitang slamd the ground with his cane as hard as he could and yelled powerlessly.
Zhao ilan was as important to Zhao Guitang and his wife as their own lives. She was also the ultimate weapon of Old Madam Ma.
Old Mrs. Chen couldn’t bear to listen anymore and said, “Guitang is your son. How could you force him to do sothing like this? ilan is his only child!”
“Keep your nose out of our business.” Old Madam Ma glared at Old Mrs. Chen. She was afraid of Zhao Chuchu, but she wasn’t afraid of Old Mrs. Chen. She said, “You need to get a life! Don’t co and run your mouth at my ho.”
“You!”
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that she almost fell backward.
Zhao Chuchu said, “Grandma Chen, it’s their business. Let’s just leave it. We should go. Let them discuss it among themselves.”
Zhao ilan thought that Zhao Chuchu would help her, yet she had left.
She couldn’t help but feel sowhat disappointed.
Upon hearing Zhao Chuchu’s suggestion, Old Mrs.Chen left with her.
“Chuchu, are you really just going to watch them ruin ilan’s life like that? I thought you and ilan were getting along now.” Old Mrs. Chen was a little confused.
Zhao Chuchu said, “I have nothing to do with the Zhao clan anymore, so I’m in no position to stand up for them.”
Actually, Zhao Chuchu wanted Zhao Guitang to lose all hope in the Zhao clan.
Otherwise, if the tofu business succeeded, these people might pressure them into foolishly fulfilling their “filial duties.” That would be both hilarious and sad.
Zhao Guitang and Madam Ma only had one child, Zhao ilan. Given how Old Madam Ma and the others were forcing Zhao Guitang to give up his daughter, it would probably make them lose all hope and feelings toward the Zhao clan.
“I think Hu Yiming is pretty good.”
“But he has an intellectual disability.”
“Yeah, but that ans he is a simple person and won’t have all those crafty, cunning ideas. And don’t you realize that he really likes ilan?”
“What’s so good about marrying a retard?”
“Well, that may not be true as long as the retard cares for her. Don’t you hear people say that getting married is just about getting food and clothing? Hu Yiming is a retard, but I think his family grood him quite well. Have you ever seen a retard that’s as clean as him?”
Most importantly, it was absolutely true that Hu Yiming liked Zhao ilan.
“What if their children develop an intellectual disability as well?”
“He wasn’t born like that. He fell ill, and the fever affected his brain. So it won’t be passed down to the children.”
Old Mrs.Chen didn’t know what to say after that.
Although Zhao Chuchu’s reasoning was quite logical, she still felt that it was an absolute disaster for any woman if she had to marry an intellectually disabled person.
When Old Madam Ma saw that Zhao Chuchu didn’t care about this issue and walked away, they started to pressure Zhao Guitang again.
Zhao Guitang didn’t agree, so she started crying and yelling. As his brothers pointed fingers at him and reprimanded him, Zhao Guitang was so mad that he coughed up blood and fainted.
Madam He was at a loss as to what to do, but Old Madam Ma didn’t allow them to run out and seek help from Zhao Chuchu.
In the end, to save Zhao Guitang, Zhao ilan agreed to the marriage with tears in her eyes.
Hu Yiming was, of course, over the moon.
“Sis, I swear I will treat you well,” he said as he ran happily to Zhao ilan’s side. “Quick, get a doctor to save your dad.”
Zhao ilan couldn’t hold back her tears. She wanted to yell at Hu Yiming, but she couldn’t do it after seeing Hu Yiming’s innocent expression. She could only weep for her own fate.
“This is a wonderful thing. What are you crying for? Don’t be an inauspicious prick! If you dare to spout nonsense when the Hu family cos, I’ll make you regret it. I’m your father’s mother,” Old Madam Ma warned Zhao ilan. “If the engagent with the Hu family fails, I’ll marry you to so old widower.”
“You’ve already backed us into a corner. What more do you want from us? Do you want us dead?” Madam He yelled angrily, “Get out of my house. I never want to see you again. Don’t even think about getting any money from us in the future.”
“You dare?”
“Of course, I dare! The worst thing would be for ilan to be single for the rest of her life, but ijuan can forget about having a good life, either!”
Madam Zhu’s expression sank. She said, “Sister-in-law, you better think before opening your mouth. You have no son. If you die soday, don’t beg my son to be your pallbearer!”
That instantly made Madam He feel defeated.
One must admit that Old Madam Ma and the Zhao clan had a hold on every one of Zhao Guitang’s family’s weak spots.
Zhao Guitang was different from Zhao Chuchu. Filial piety alone was enough to force them to do whatever the Zhao clan pleased.
After giving Zhao Guitang and his family a stern warning, Madam Zhu tried to coax Hu Yiming to go ho with them.
Hu Yiming shoved Madam Zhu and said, “I don’t want to be with all of you bad guys. Go away!”
Madam Zhu wasn’t prepared for it at all. She fell onto the ground and felt like her buttock had broken into four pieces.
She was infuriated, but when she thought about Hu Yiming’s engagent, she swallowed her rage.
There was no way she could give up the 30 taels of silver for dowry.
“Useless,” Old Madam cursed before leaving her eldest son’s house.
Zhao ilan hurriedly sprinted to the Xie family to look for Zhao Chuchu.
“Chuchu, please save my dad. He just coughed up blood,” Zhao ilan cried sorrowfully. “Is he going to be okay?”
“I’ll go take a look.” Zhao Chuchu put down the herbs that she was preparing and went out with Zhao ilan.
Zhao Guitang wasn’t actually coughing blood from anger just now. Zhao Chuchu secretly did sothing to him.
To be frank, Old Madam Ma’s family was even weirder and more ssed up than Madam Yang’s. If Zhao Guitang could completely give up on them, he might be able to live a new life.
It was rare for a good person to co out of this nasty family, so Zhao Chuchu didn’t mind helping them out a little.
If they still decided to foolishly fulfill their “filial duties” at this point, Zhao Chuchu would have no choice but to give up.
Although Hu Yiming was intellectually disabled, he knew that Zhao Guitang was ill when he saw the old man spit blood. So he helped Madam He to move Zhao Guitang into the room, then waited anxiously beside his bed.
“ilan, do you like Hu Yiming? Would you be willing to marry him if no one forced you?” After entering the door, Zhao Chuchu suddenly asked Zhao ilan this question as she looked at Hu Yiming.
