The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 141 - 137: A Troupe of Women Staging a Drama, Demons Dancing in Chaos

Chapter 141: Chapter 137: A Troupe of Women Staging a Drama, Demons Dancing in Chaos

Her engagement to Tian Sanzong, others might not know what’s going on, but Mrs. Xiao sure does.

"You..."

Li Lihong bit her lip, "Aunt, even if things didn’t work out between me and Brother Chenye, there’s no need for you to lash out and come here to slander me, right?"

"Slander?" Mrs. Xiao waved her hand hurriedly, "Don’t start babbling nonsense, what do you mean your affair with our fifth son?

Our fifth son is completely innocent with you."

"Innocent or not, it’s not your call," Li Lihong, for some unknown reason, lifted her hand, brushed back her hair falling beside her ear, and smiled sweetly, "He has to say it to me personally."

"Alright, enough with the useless talk," Mrs. Xiao stated bluntly, "He’s the one who came out of my womb; it’s crystal clear to me who he likes and who he dislikes.

Let’s not forget, when your scandal with Tian Sanzong was exposed, wasn’t my son there watching?"

Mrs. Xiao wasn’t one to argue, she presented facts and reasoned, "If he really fancied you, it wouldn’t matter even if there was a hint of suspicion or scandal.

Even if you were pregnant, my son would marry you without hesitation.

But how were things that day, everyone was there to see, weren’t they? Li Lihong shamelessly tried desperately to cling to my son. If it hadn’t been for Wen Ran, she might’ve succeeded."

Mrs. Xiao gave Li Lihong face but she wasn’t grateful.

Since that’s the case, don’t blame her for being unpleasant.

"You..." Li Lihong bit her lip, "Aunt, there’s no need to be so harsh."

"You think this is harsh?" Mrs. Xiao clicked her tongue, "I’m just stating facts."

She smiled amiably, "You like people like Sanzong and Sanbao, we have no opinion, everyone has their preferences. But it’s pointless if you start slandering others."

"How am I slandering?" Li Lihong crossed her arms disdainfully, "Do you not know that Wen Ran didn’t ask Aunt Wu for 300 bucks as a bride price?"

"Exactly," Wu Juhua seized the moment, not forgetting to discredit Wen Ran, "I’m so old, would I really slander myself if it wasn’t for Wen Ran’s foul mouth?

If that wretched girl hadn’t said such nasty things, I wouldn’t expose such embarrassing stuff."

Mrs. Xiao laughed in rage, she waved her large hand, "Don’t mumble and guess what I’m thinking inside, as if I don’t know?

Hah, you’re good at calculating. You’re thinking Wen Ran is capable, hoping to marry her off to serve your entire family."

"Isn’t that all there is to a marriage?"

Some in the crowd disagreed with Mrs. Xiao, "Getting married, having kids, managing household chores, those are a woman’s duties."

Mrs. Xiao: "...You think you’re capable? Then marry off your daughter."

You know what, that deadbeat old woman was actually tempted.

With a bride price of 300 bucks, selling off a daughter could solve two sons’ marriage issues.

She beamed cheerfully at Wu Juhua, "Do you want my daughter? She’s obedient and easy to command. Take her away for 300 bucks, afterwards, I have nothing to do with her."

Wu Juhua: "..."

She rolled her eyes in anger.

"Get lost! Don’t you see how ugly your daughter is, she’s both ugly and skinny. We fear her frail body won’t bear a child, might jeopardize herself."

The woman turned green, wanting to be angry but reluctant to let go of the bride price, she argued, "It’s just being skinny, isn’t it?

Take her home, give her good food and drinks, and she’ll be fine."

"Get out, get out~"

The woman rolled her eyes, "Tsk~ Who cares for your 300 bucks bride price."

She kept silent and retreated to the back to watch the scene.

Li Lihong still wanted to say something to slander Wen Ran, but Mrs. Xiao spotted the pale-looking man in the back, her eyes flickered. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Already took the lead, starting to babble nonsense.

"So, Lihong, when you married Sanzong, you were unhappy, wishing for death. Now, how come you’re speaking for Sanbao?"

Mrs. Xiao smacked her lips, "Could it be you don’t like Sanzong, but rather Sanbao?"

Li Lihong was nearly infuriated by Mrs. Xiao twisting the facts, "Can you stop speaking nonsense? Why would I like them?"

She liked no one, she still liked Xiao Chenye.

Love and hate intertwined.

She wished to watch Xiao Chenye all the time, but also wanted Xiao Chenye to feel her pain.

If he liked Wen Ran, then she’d ruin Wen Ran, wanting to see Xiao Chenye regret deeply.

"It’s hard to say, Sanzong and Sanbao may both be ruffians, but truth be told, Sanbao looks better than Sanzong."

"Right, Sanzong has a pockmarked face, looks hideous like sparrow droppings."

"Hahaha, funny enough, might actually be true, hey, Lihong, why not discuss with your Sanzong, see if the three of you can live together.

You’re not bad-looking, might even save a bride price in the process. Then Aunt Wu wouldn’t have to sell herself in desperation."

Laughter erupted.

Li Lihong was furious, nose bent in anger, before she could argue, suddenly felt a sharp pain on her scalp.

Tian Sanzong seized her hair, his face hostile, "Slut, haven’t I fed you enough at home? You go out seeking men?"

Tian Xiaorou followed Tian Sanzong, upon hearing such vulgar rebellion shot Tian Sanzong a disgusted look.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Li Lihong frantically grabbed her head, puzzled, "Sanzong, what do you mean by this? I can’t understand!"

"Feigning ignorance? Still pretending with me, huh? This woman won’t have peace unless beaten, right?"

Tian Sanzong was a man of action, when it came to using force, there was no hesitation, he raised his hand, slapping two firm blows.

Li Lihong lost her arrogance.

Tian Xiaorou softly said, "Sis-in-law, stop making my brother upset, I know marrying my brother was a grievance for you..."

After speaking, she paused, lifted her head with grievances, "But weren’t these all your choices back then?"

If she didn’t persuade, fine, the more she spoke, the angrier Tian Sanzong became.

Li Lihong was still seeing stars, Tian Sanzong slapped her several times again, after ending felt dissatisfaction, released her, adding two kicks to her body.

Everyone was stunned, "Whoa, Tian Family boy, why are you hitting people?"

"Hit?" Tian Sanzong was righteous, "She’s my wife, thinking of other men all day, wouldn’t you be mad?"

Everyone fell silent.

Tian Sanzong cursed dragging Li Lihong away, Tian Xiaorou eyed Mrs. Xiao, wanting to gain favor.

After all, if she hadn’t fancied Xiao Chenye too, wouldn’t have plotted against Li Lihong to marry her to good-for-nothing Tian Sanzong.

"Aunt," Tian Xiaorou softly apologized, "I’m really sorry, that’s just how my sister-in-law is, she doesn’t mean any harm, just speaks without thinking, don’t mind her."

Mrs. Xiao: "..."

Honestly, comparing Li Lihong and Tian Xiaorou, she’d rather spat back and forth with Li Lihong.

Tian Xiaorou’s meek personality was enough to make Mrs. Xiao’s skin crawl from just one look.
