The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 154 - 150: Mrs. Xiao: This Is the Daughter-in-Law I Chose!

Chapter 154: Chapter 150: Mrs. Xiao: This Is the Daughter-in-Law I Chose!

"Are you Zhou Wei?"

Zhou Wei was delighted, thinking that Mrs. Xiao remembered her, so her voice became even more gentle, "Yes, Auntie, my name is Zhou Wei.

There must be some misunderstanding between you and my aunt. Why don’t we go inside and talk it over slowly?"

Mrs. Xiao looked her up and down, becoming more annoyed with each glance, and waved her hand, "Ah! No, let’s clear this up right here in front of everyone.

Otherwise, if word gets out, people will think I, Song Shilan, am bullying others!"

Zhou Wei’s expression froze. If this rumor spread, her reputation would be ruined.

"No, Auntie, you..."

Zhou Wei reached out, but Mrs. Xiao was completely fed up and pushed her away, "What? Don’t understand human words? Or are you trying to cover my mouth?"

Mrs. Xiao’s action caught Zhou Wei off guard, and she stumbled backward, landing on the ground.

Matchmaker Zhou hurriedly went up to help, "Xiao Wei, are you okay?"

Zhou Wei was hurt; she fell hard, with her tailbone hurting and numbing.

"I’m fine, I’m fine," the aunt and niece hugged each other, looking utterly pitiful, "Auntie, I meant no harm, just thought there’s some misunderstanding."

People are naturally inclined to sympathize with the underdog, and seeing this, everyone couldn’t sit still and started yelling, "Hey! Not trying to say too much, but Xiao Family, you’re just too much!

Can’t you talk things over properly? Why do you have to resort to violence? People don’t owe you anything."

"This is just being shameless, taking advantage by age!"

"Exactly, Xiao Wei is still a young girl with tender skin, can she withstand such a push from an old hag like you?"

Hongguo exploded with anger and went up to push back, "You’re the old hag, watch your mouth!"

"Hey~ you..."

Hongguo pushed hard, directly sent the man tumbling backward, who then scrambled up from the ground, raising a hand wanting to hit Hongguo.

Wen Ran grabbed him, "Wow, you’ve got some nerve, raising a hand against a young girl."

The man retorted, "Wasn’t it your girl who pushed me first?"

"If you weren’t acting like a jerk, who’d bother with you?" Wen Ran said disdainfully, "Stay away from us, mind your own business!"

Having said that, Wen Ran supported Hongguo and stood at the forefront.

Mrs. Xiao glanced at Wen Ran, seeing her calm gaze, gritted her teeth and decided to say everything in front of everyone.

"Aren’t you all curious why I’m seeking trouble with these two scoundrels? Haha, to be honest, these two are the real heartless ones."

Mrs. Xiao spoke frankly, "We Xiao Family have taken a liking to Wen Ran, and want to bring her into our family. I came before, looking for this old hag to help with matchmaking, but as soon as I mentioned it, Matchmaker Zhou went crazy, insisting that Wen Ran is no good.

Stuff like abandoning wife and kids, lazy, poor morals, the words were as nasty as they could be. I thought, if you’re not willing, then forget it!

There’s no sweetness in forced things, if you don’t want to be the matchmaker, there are others who would!"

Mrs. Xiao’s voice had fluctuations, her tone was high, Matchmaker Zhou saw Mrs. Xiao had decided to spill everything, she was anxious and kept interrupting.

Mrs. Xiao was thoroughly annoyed.

Raised a hand and gave a big slap!

Matchmaker Zhou screamed, "You hit me?!"

"I hit you!" Mrs. Xiao fought and shouted, "You shameless old thing, I gave you face, but you threw it away. You ran behind and talked nonsense to Ranran?

Saying our Xiao Family doesn’t fancy Ranran? Huh?! Weren’t those your words to your conscience-less niece?"

This news was explosive!

The boys and girls from the Xiao Family are highly desirable, with respectable jobs, capable people, and most importantly, those who have lived here know what kind of person Mrs. Xiao is.

Though her mouth is sharp, she fiercely protects family.

If any family’s daughter marries in, she’d surely have a life of enjoyment, many families in the brigade were eyeing this.

As for Wen Ran, that’s not even mentioning, she’s capable and able, with many admirers, but not many decent families dare take real action.

On one hand, they know their own worth, rather than being embarrassingly rejected later, they might as well not dream of having such a swan originally.

Though there are some shameless ones, thinking just because their son can stand and pee, wow! That’s quite capable.

They’d come over, say some shameless words, then get sternly handled by Wen Ran.

But now, with the two families coming together...

Isn’t it sort of expected?

Not just a suitable match, even their appearances are exceptionally fitting.

Matchmaker Zhou understood too, but who wouldn’t want to reserve good resources for their family?

The more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt, with her body aching badly, she angrily cursed, "Song Shilan, you heartless woman, when you first married in, when you were bullied by your old hag at home, wasn’t it me who comforted you?

Back then you saw me as a good friend, but now? You’re hitting me for a teenage girl! You’re an ungrateful wretch!"

"Bah!" Not mentioning those youthful days, Mrs. Xiao wasn’t that angry, but now, reminded, she was even more furious.

"Oh, cut it out, what comfort? Honestly, you just wanted to see the show."

In youth, lacking understanding of the multifaceted nature of humans.

Simply thinking everything in this world is either black or white.

But over time, she gradually discovered, things aren’t really like that.

Rarely are people truly good or evil, most live somewhere in between.

They are gray characters.

Like Mrs. Xiao Sr., she was horribly nasty to their family.

Verbally abusive, a single glance and her eyes rolled up to the sky.

But towards her own daughters, she was completely affectionate and tender, she was the quintessential loving grandma.

While Matchmaker Zhou was just such a gray character, marrying shortly after each other.

Mrs. Xiao had a wicked mother-in-law.

Matchmaker Zhou, her mother-in-law was a pushover, but her husband was a bastard, with no money yet wanting to drink, with a bit of money, not thinking about getting food to fill the stomachs, all spent on booze.

Drunk, he’d start beating.

Matchmaker Zhou suffered, losing two babies from the beatings, initially thought her life was unliveable, but turned to see Mrs. Xiao.

Hmm, this life isn’t entirely unliveable...

Mrs. Xiao, at first, truly put her heart into her friendship with Matchmaker Zhou, but as time passed, she could see the contempt and glee in Matchmaker Zhou’s eyes...

It can only be said, the times they spent together licking wounds were genuine.

She wanted to think well of Matchmaker Zhou, but if she now acts out.

Then don’t blame Mrs. Xiao for peeling off her mask and revealing her true nature.

"As the old saying goes, better to destroy ten temples than ruin a single marriage, Matchmaker Zhou you have a dark heart to the core."
