"Shut up! Don’t you talk so nastily, what we had was supre love!" The delicate-faced woman seed unable to withstand such a direct accusation, instantly losing control and shouting back loudly!
"Supre love? Bullshit! Do you know what that man you admire so much said to our mother? He asked her to ’discipline’ you nicely, to stop acting like a cheap whore. Even if you throw yourself at him, he wouldn’t care, and he doesn’t want you destroying his family and happiness!"
Speaking to this point, the elder woman took a deep breath and continued to loudly enlighten her:
"He said that he has a family, a wife, children, and does not want to live under the pointing fingers and strange looks of others! Our mother couldn’t even lift her head after his mocking words, and that’s why she sneakily sent over while you were not paying attention! Do you really think that man loves you? If he did, would you still be here?"
"He, he..." The obviously younger girl was about to say sothing but was interrupted by the other.
"Bullshit! How long will you continue to deceive yourself? He never responded to you, and to avoid you, he even dared not go to school for a while. If not for your idiocy in persistently seeking him out, causing his wife to nearly have a miscarriage, would they have co to our door to accuse our family of being ’uncouth’? Do you know how you are being talked about back at ho? Do you have any sha?"
"Sob sob... Stop it, it wasn’t intentional, she ca at , how was I supposed to know she was pregnant, I hardly used any force, she fell on her own. She must have set up on purpose!"
"Shut your mouth! You say it was on purpose, but she was bleeding, are you blind? Because of this, our parents almost lost their jobs. How much longer will you continue to be so willful? Do you think provoking your brother-in-law will end well for you? You’re still yearning to go back, but are you aware that the man you admire almost went to the Revolutionary Committee to report you! If dad hadn’t shalessly begged on his knees for leniency, do you think you’d get off so easily?"
"I..."
"If you keep this up, I won’t care what mom threatens with. If you want to go back, I’ll send you to the train imdiately, but once you’re back, don’t bla them if they call the police to have you arrested! I’ve heard the victim’s family has quite an influence in town! If you’re not afraid of dying, then you might as well go back!"
After finishing her tirade, the older woman abruptly let go, pulled open the room door with a ’bang’ and slamd it shut behind her.
Leaving the younger woman to collapse sobbing onto the bed, full of bitter air, crying uncontrollably.
She kept asking herself: Why has it co to this? She just wanted to be with him...
...
Zhang Shan Ni woke up to find it was not yet bright outside. Glancing at her watch, she noted it was just after three o’clock. Turning to feel the warmth of the man beside her and sensing the strong pulse in his arm, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Spirit Core Liquid is very mild, but it can cause one to fall into a deep sleep, typically requiring ten hours of rest. Moreover, the dosage she gave him was enhanced with additional ingredients, only ensuring he would sleep even longer.
She was able to wake up just after three o’clock because her body had taken it several tis before, and was in pri condition, completely devoid of any hidden damage. It was just like waking from a good sleep, naturally waking up once she’d had enough.
It looked like there would be no prenatal checkup today. Following the usual pattern, Xie Jingchen wouldn’t wake up until at least five or six o’clock. By that ti, it would already be dark and even colder outside, so Zhang Shan Ni imdiately concluded they wouldn’t be going for a prenatal checkup today.
Waking up hungry, Zhang Shan Ni thought about how the man would feel even hungrier upon waking. So, she got out of bed to cook sothing delicious, to reward the man’s appetite as it was not easy for him to co back.
While Zhang Shan Ni was happily busy preparing additional dishes for the man, the situation at the Old Xie Family’s ho was nowhere near as pleasant.
Originally, Zhang Shanni had sent a telegram back ho saying she was pregnant right before the new year, which made Zhou Xiuhua and Xie Tiesheng extrely happy.
But the joy didn’t last even half a month before it was overtaken by the nasty gossip that suddenly erged in the village.
The gossip was directed at Xie Jingzi, the only daughter of the Xie Family who had yet to be married off.
Wang Guicai had realized that with his son having done such a thing and the villagers spreading the word, how could there possibly be any decent family willing to marry their daughters into the Wang Family? Forget Wang Junxuan’s marriage prospects; even Wang Xiuzhen’s marriage had been put on hold.
The reputation of the Wang Family’s siblings truly plumted overnight.
Had it not been for Wang Guicai’s skills, which kept the villagers from offending him too severely, the whole family might have been expelled by the Zhou and Xie Clan Leaders.
Seeing the situation getting worse, when Wang Guicai heard his son say he wanted to marry Xie Jingzi, he found that among the remaining unmarried girls in the village, hardly any could match up to Xie Jingzi’s conditions!
Most importantly, Xie Jingzi was attractive, ca from a good family background, and had a brother who served as a Commander Rong [though Xie Jingchen only ntioned he was a minor Commander in the village].
The conditions were indeed favorable!
Of course, they were, as Xie Jingzi’s qualifications were more than good enough compared to other young won in the entire Qingshan Team!
Moreover, Xie Jingzi was indeed a ’victim.’ If the Wang family set aside their pride and requested her hand in marriage, they could sowhat redeem their family’s reputation.
At the very least, people would no longer say that mbers of the Wang Family were heartless and ruthless.
Having figured this out, Wang Guicai sent his wife to find a matchmaker to go to the Xie Family’s door.
How could the Xie Family possibly agree? When they heard that the matchmaker ca on behalf of Wang Junxuan to propose to Xie Jingzi, she was imdiately blocked by the Eldest Xie and Fifth, who were at ho.
If it weren’t for the fact that the matchmaker was an elderly woman, the brothers were almost driven to violence!
After all, they had watched Xie Jingzi grow up. Though gentle and sowhat naively temperantal in nature, she was well-liked among the Xie siblings due to her kind-heartedness.
Because of this, Xie Tiesheng was almost angered to the point of collapse, but fortunately, he retained so sense. Upon hearing the matchmaker, he decisively had his youngest daughter take their mother away, allowing his sons to chase away this shaless person!
At this point, Xie Tiesheng couldn’t sit still any longer and imdiately instructed his daughters-in-law to keep a close eye on their mother-in-law.
Thankfully, Fourth’s family was about to have a baby and had notified them early to avoid any inconvenience, taking their children into town, which prevented the household from becoming more chaotic.
Although Zhou Xiuhua was dragged away by her youngest daughter following her husband’s words, she imdiately started barraging Xie Jingzi with questions as soon as she got back to her room—
How could Xie Jingzi, with her slender arms, ever wrestle against her mother’s ’big thighs’!
However, the matter didn’t stop there. It could be said that before the festival arrived, one problem after another arose at the Old Xie Family’s ho, making it a series of relentless troubles.
