The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 142 - 138: Whimpering, She Forced Good People into Prostitution~

Chapter 142: Chapter 138: Whimpering, She Forced Good People into Prostitution~

"Though cowardly, Mrs. Xiao didn’t spare her tongue, "Hurry up and let’s hear it, everyone knows what Li Lihong is like. We don’t need you to tell us lies.

She’s already married, yet she dares to throw herself at my son. It’s the first time, so I’m letting it go. But if it happens again, don’t blame me for cutting ties."

What’s wrong with men? They need a good reputation too.

The more Mrs. Xiao dislikes Li Lihong, the happier Tian Xiaorou feels.

Therefore, even though the words weren’t kindly spoken, Tian Xiaorou still had a smile on her face.

"Alright, Auntie, I’ll remember it."

Tian Xiaorou looked at Mrs. Xiao, perfectly gauging the situation.

She knew that Mrs. Xiao preferred Wen Ran a little more at the moment.

However...

It’s up to people to make things happen.

She believes that one day she will win over Xiao Chenye’s heart and enter the Xiao Family openly.

...

Li Lihong, who was speaking up, fell silent, her face stinging as Wu Juhua watched.

Mrs. Xiao fixed her gaze on Wu Juhua, sarcastically. "Do you have anything else to say? Go ahead."

Wu Juhua couldn’t respond, so she started to muddle through, "Let me tell you, you old woman are really something. What I’m talking about is Wen Ran being unreasonable, what does it have to do with you?"

"Exactly, what does being a Xiao Family daughter-in-law have to do with rushing to speak? We’re not relatives."

"Oh, you might not know, but this year the entire Xiao Family visited their daughter, and Wen Ran tagged along.

This relationship is not ordinary, it’s understandable to speak up for her."

"That’s right, previously, the second Xiao family incident, Wen Ran helped a lot too. It’s understandable for the Xiao Family to be close to her."

"Even if they’re close, this is someone else’s marriage affair. It’s not Wen Ran’s place to meddle, right?"

Amidst the whispers, Wu Juhua raised her head proudly, "So, do you have anything else to say?"

"Stop rambling about useless things, anyway Wen Ran has nothing to do with your family," Mrs. Xiao quickly laid it out, "Besides, if Wen Ran’s marriage requires a three hundred yuan dowry, you wouldn’t even stand a chance."

Wu Juhua looked at Mrs. Xiao, suddenly feeling uneasy.

"What, what do you mean by that?"

Mrs. Xiao chuckled, dismissively. "Didn’t you say that Wen Ran wants dowry money, so she’s forcing you to sell yourself?

If Wen Ran agrees to marry my son, I’ll pay five hundred in dowry!"

When Li Xiaohua rushed over with Mr. Xiao, Xiao Chenxing, and Hongguo, they heard the earth-shattering shout of Mrs. Xiao.

Everyone was stunned.

And there...

The smile on Wu Juhua’s face twisted. "Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

She just wanted a triumphant daughter-in-law, why does the old lady Mrs. Xiao keep opposing her?

"I’m not making things difficult for you," Mrs. Xiao spoke earnestly, "You’re the one making things difficult for Wen Ran, spouting nonsense. She doesn’t even care about your Zhao Sanbao.

Better go home."

"You, you..."

"Well~ it’s quite lively," Wen Ran finally arrived with Bao Wenxuan, fashionably late, "I heard I’m forcing someone to sell themselves?"

Seeing Wen Ran, everyone started chattering, "Oh dear, you’re quite something, marriage is an adult affaire.

You, as a little girl, discussing dowry personally, aren’t you afraid of losing face when it’s spread around?"

"Exactly, exactly, demanding so much, you’re so greedy."

"What nonsense is this? Wen Ran might not even know about this situation."

Wen Ran looked at Wu Juhua trembling on the ground, smiling warmly, "Ma’am, could you tell me when I forced someone to sell themselves?

Where’s the evidence that I asked you to sell yourself?"

Even at this point, Wu Juhua held onto a glimmer of hope.

With so many people watching, Wen Ran couldn’t possibly act recklessly, right?

Wu Juhua already planned it out. As long as she played the victim, as gossip spread throughout the team, how could Wen Ran not get in?

Though she’s enduring a little frustration now, it’ll be alright, she can bear it, when Wen Ran enters the house...

Humph~

As a mother-in-law, toying with her would be like taking candy from a baby.

"We must be responsible for our words. Last time when I visited your home, thinking you’ve settled with my Sanbao.

Our Zhao Family follows procedures, so nothing should be omitted. I asked how much you want for dowry, and you said three hundred, not a penny less."

Finished speaking, Wu Juhua paused pitifully, "I asked if you could take less, as our family couldn’t afford that much, and you said if we couldn’t afford it, I should sell myself, boohoo..."

Upside Down Heaven and Earth, it’s pure fabrication.

Those words were never spoken by her.

Wen Ran raised her hand and delivered a slap.

With strength and weight far beyond that of a little girl.

Wu Juhua’s face twisted, knocked out a mouthful of blood, even her teeth were loosened.

In disbelief at the warm, sticky blood on her hand, "You, you hit me?"

"I didn’t hit you enough," Wen Ran chuckled, "You tell me, I really don’t understand why are you so fixated on tormenting me?

If I wanted you to sell yourself, why haven’t you done it? It shows your family isn’t sincere about marrying me!"

Wen Ran truly didn’t understand, she’s someone who can single-handedly take down wild boars, eliminate wolves.

Sometimes, when in the mood, she even captures bandits or murderers.

Why would such an old hag feel that by any means, bringing her into the family would make her submissively work for them?

"Are you sure that once I’m in your Zhao Family, I’ll listen to Wu Juhua’s words?" Wen Ran smacked her lips.

"You..." Wu Juhua weakly responded, "You hit your mother-in-law, that’s being unfilial!"

"And then what?"

Unfilial is simply unfilial.

Who can do anything to her?

Even if it’s reported to the women’s federation, it’s still a family matter.

Family matters basically mean muddying the waters, as long as it doesn’t result in death, it’s mainly about mediation.

Pretending to be good, apologizing, she’s just too adept at it.

"How many days do you think it takes for me to ruin you?" Wen Ran patted Wu Juhua’s face, pondering, "You’re opting to end your own life, do you really want to drag your family to hell with you?"

Wu Juhua looked at the seriousness in Wen Ran’s eyes, finally realizing...

She seems to have provoked someone she shouldn’t have.

"I, I..."

The captain finally arrived, looked at the crowd and the central Wu Juhua and Wen Ran, "?!"

He felt numb, "Can anyone tell me, what on earth happened?"

The little girl jumped out, "Uncle, I know! I’ve been here all along!"

She swiftly recounted the entire incident in a few words.

Zheng Dawei jumped off the ox cart, jokingly gazing at the captain, "Oh, Jianguo~

Your team’s members have some wits~"
