Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 156 - 157: Showing Off
Chapter 156: Chapter 157: Showing Off
“His son is still a bully, harassing whichever girl he fancies, and it doesn’t stop there; he even threatens their families, warning them not to report to the police.
Anyone who dares go to the police gets silenced by the Wu family. That boy, Shengshun, was a victim of the Wu family’s deeds.
The Wu family has a significant presence in Xiang County, with deep roots; not easy to shake. Yet my daughter took them down root and all,” Mrs. Xu said with a proud sense of self-satisfaction.
She had heard all these things from Director Sun chatting with her husband.
Wang Lanhua’s eyes widened in shock: “What happened to that family?”
“They were arrested and sentenced to death, served them right for not doing good deeds,” Mrs. Xu said, her eyes full of hatred, feeling sympathy for the bullied girls.
Zhang Dacao broke out in a sweat at hearing this, looking at Mrs. Xu, now slightly intimidated. Xu Ying actually had such capabilities.

If she’d always been mocking that girl coldly and teasingly, it wouldn’t also spell disaster for herself, would it?
“Older sister Xu,” said Zhang Dacao, now exceedingly earnest, “Yingying is really that powerful, isn’t she?
No wonder even Director Sun praises Xu Ying for being outstanding; it’s indeed true.”
This was the first time Mrs. Xu had seen Zhang Dacao being so attentive toward her and couldn’t help feeling a bit smug. She lifted her head proudly, saying, “That’s right, we even met Secretary Zhang from Xiang County this time.”
Zhang Dacao was even more shocked.
Mrs. Xu, basking in the envious and shocked looks from the others, felt a great surge of vanity. She put her hands on her waist and strutted away with confident steps, her head high, strutting off as proudly as a rooster.
The onlookers were left gazing at her retreating figure, their faces a mess of emotions.
“Team leader, your sister-in-law is really something, to have even met the Secretary!”
“Indeed she’s incredible, our Society Director is all politeness when he meets the team leader.”
“How can the team leader’s family be so lucky, to have a daughter who is so capable?”
“I’ve heard that the food factory manager values Xu Ying highly, and the State-owned Restaurant wants her even more. With no other choice, the factory manager allowed Xu Ying to work part-time at the factory!”
Everyone looked on with envy.
Chen Yanran, passing by, overheared this conversation and her face flushed with anger. She had gone to great lengths to spoil Xu Ying’s reputation.
But in the blink of an eye, Xu Ying was doing much better than before. While she couldn’t even get a proper meal in this wretched place, Xu Ying was showered with affection and even the capable people looked at her differently.
She was just a brainless woman with a big chest, and yet these men were so shallow.
The more Chen Yanran thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling as if a heavy stone was pressing down on her, making it difficult to breathe.
In her anger, her fingernails dug deep into her palms, drawing blood, but she remained unmoved, looking toward the direction Mrs. Xu had left with increasingly cold eyes.
“Yanran, why aren’t you resting, wandering around like this?” Zhang Dacao looked up to see Chen Yanran and instantly frowned.
She’s pregnant and still wandering about, if her health is really that good, she should be working in the fields, and if not, why is she running around aimlessly?
“Wow, Da Cao, I didn’t realize you cared so much for your future daughter-in-law,” a sharp-eyed woman teased. “After getting married, is she now some precious, pampered jewel? Why can’t she walk around a bit? Could it be she’s pregnant?”
Zhang Dacao didn’t get annoyed and responded with a smile on her face, “Go on, shoo.”
Her words did not deny the claim, and instantly, people’s view of Chen Yanran changed.
“People say that the urban knowledge youth are cultured and have high standards, but it seems that isn’t quite the case. She isn’t even married yet and already pregnant. Truly shameless.”
Chen Yanran was somewhat annoyed yet she touched her belly and dared not make a scene, biting her lower lip with a face full of grievance.
Just then, Xu Xiangdong walked over and upon seeing Chen Yanran’s aggrieved expression, his face immediately fell, he glanced at Zhang Dacao and, supporting Chen Yanran, left.
Zhang Dacao stamped her foot in anger at the scene. It was a waste to have given birth to this son. They weren’t even married yet and he was already showing her attitude for the sake of this woman.
If she were to marry into the family, wouldn’t her status become non-existent?
“Dacao, your son sure knows how to protect his wife. Chen Yanran has really got some tricks up her sleeve. You were just genuinely concerned for her and she put on that aggrieved face.
Your son must think you’re bullying her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had that look.
But wasn’t Chen Yanran with Dong Wenzhong before? How come she’s getting married to your Xiangdong now? This woman’s really something. Who knows if that child in her belly is actually your Xiangdong’s?” Wang Lanhua added fuel to the flames, then quickly covered her mouth after her last sentence.
Zhang Dacao glared at her fiercely, but inside it felt like a thorn was stuck in her heart, thinking about Chen Yanran’s relationship with Dong Wenzhong.
And then thinking about her own son’s clueless demeanor.
The seed of doubt in Zhang Dacao’s heart had been planted.
That little slut Chen Yanran had caused her family’s Yingying such misery, and now she had found another man so quickly. She really was fickle.
Wang Lanhua saw that the cotton pants she was sewing were almost done, so she got up to go home for dinner.
Zhang Dacao, with a belly full of anger, also stood up and returned home.
The stove at home was still cold, and her son wasn’t there either.
She made herself something simple for dinner, and after eating, she went back to her room to sleep.
Xu Xiangdong stayed with Chen Yanran at the Youth Corps for a while and came back home still hungry.
Seeing the empty kitchen, he was filled with anger, “Mom, didn’t you make dinner?”
Zhang Dacao heard her son’s voice and responded discontentedly, “I’ve already eaten. Weren’t you and Chen Yanran at the Youth Corps just now? It’s so late now, what’s the matter, she didn’t ask you to stay for dinner?”
The anger in Xu Xiangdong’s heart was instantly snuffed out as he deluded himself, “Yanran is pregnant, how could I have the nerve to eat her cooking!”
“Then she’s not eating? It’s just a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks. Isn’t it right for a wife to cook a meal for her husband? Could it be that she doesn’t care about you at all?” Zhang Dacao’s sarcastic voice came out.
Xu Xiangdong instantly couldn’t hang onto his pride and roared in embarrassment and anger, “Mom, am I not your son? You just can’t wait for me to be unhappy.
Yanran’s going to marry me, how could she not care about me? Yanran’s right, you just dislike her, you’re purposely making things difficult for her.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dacao became so angry she leapt up from the bed with a plump and sat up, getting off the bed without even putting on shoes, full of burning rage she ran out.
“Xu Xiangdong, get out, I carried you for ten months and went through great pains to give birth to you. Your father died when you were ten years old, and it was I who raised you single-handedly.
This is how you repay me? Get out, get out of my house, I will just act as if I never had a son like you.”
Zhang Dacao, saying this, her tears slid down her cheeks, worn by time, and she collapsed to the floor in a flood of tears.
Watching Zhang Dacao on the ground throwing a tantrum filled Xu Xiangdong with disgust, just like a shrew.
When he was a child, every time he saw his mother like this he felt embarrassed, and it was still the same now. Compared to Yanran, she fell far short.
