72 -72: Starting to Scheme
Tang Chuxia watched as the old man forced a smile and grasped his younger son’s wrist, saying to the newly arrived Zhuzi, “Your comrade has come, I’ll have your brother bring some dishes to go with drinks later.
Do keep him company well!”
Without giving Zhuzi a chance to reply, he dragged his son away.
Zhuzi and his wife were completely baffled, watching their father-in-law come and go.
“Stop looking.
They should be very happy today!”
Tang Jianjun laughed, not forgetting to ruffle Tang Chuxia’s hair.
The four of them re-entered the house, where Tang Jianjun repeated the conversation at the door for Zhuzi.
“So that’s how it is!”
Before Zhuzi could speak, his wife spoke up first and immediately started crying.
“So that’s how it is!”
She cried loudly, leaving Tang Chuxia somewhat uncomfortable.
She moved closer to Tang Jianjun.
She could handle physical confrontations, but dealing with a crying person was beyond her.
Tang Jianjun didn’t say anything, just motioning for her to sit quietly.
Zhuzi patted his wife’s back.
“You’ve suffered a lot!”
After a long while, his wife finally wiped away her tears and apologetically said to Tang Chuxia, “Sorry for making you see this embarrassing scene!”
Tang Chuxia repeatedly waved her hands—it was hardly a laughing matter.
She didn’t do anything; she just didn’t understand what her sister-in-law was crying about.
“Actually, two years before Zhuzi had his accident, I once caught a man grappling with my mother-in-law.
Before he left, he even slipped something to my brother-in-law.
Curious, I asked about it and ended up being targeted by my mother-in-law for years.
She accused me of being malicious, wanting to embezzle my brother-in-law’s possessions!”
In her narration, from that point on, her mother-in-law targeted her in all sorts of ways, even causing her to miscarry during her pregnancy.
Later on, she even tried to make Zhuzi divorce her.
Thankfully, Zhuzi was too straightforward a person; once he was married, he never thought of divorcing.
Later, when Zhuzi had to retire from service due to an accident and the money he received was all taken by his mother-in-law, they were eventually kicked out after being separated from the family property.
Ultimately, his mother-in-law even declared that she would only take care of Zhuzi’s affairs if he divorced his wife.
Zhuzi stubbornly refused, and the two of them had clung to each other for survival up until now, almost unable to endure it anymore.
Zhuzi’s wife, disheartened, was preparing to follow her parents’ wishes to return home and remarry, as she couldn’t bear to see Zhuzi living a life worse than that of animals.
But today, after hearing Tang Jianjun’s words, she understood why her mother-in-law targeted her so harshly, to the extent of letting her own son endure such misery.
“She must have been shocked that I heard her conversation with that man, thinking I knew that my brother-in-law wasn’t really fathered by my father-in-law!”
After Zhuzi’s wife spoke, tears came out again.
“I knew it.
That’s why, over the years, she always secretly and openly questioned me about what I really heard that day.
So that’s what it was.”
Tang Chuxia: …
Honestly, she was just disgusted by how cruel Mr.
Zhuzi was, and she ended up not only being spot-on without saying it outright, but she also got entangled in such an incident.
She even started to wonder if she had some special trait.
Could it be that people who commit evil inevitably face bad luck with her?
As she was excitedly thinking to check if this might actually be the “Golden Finger” after transmigrating into this book, she heard Zhuzi say, “That’s not my mother; she doesn’t deserve to be!”
Tang Jianjun nodded, “It’s good that you split from the family.
It saves you from being disgusted.
I have only one question for you.
Are you still going to stay here?
I can help you get your job back.
What’s wrong with the county town?
Why should you stay here and be humiliated along with your wife?”
Zhuzi gave a bitter smile, “Before, I thought I spent too little time with my parents.
I joined the army when I was very young, and I thought of fulfilling my filial duties by living near them upon returning.
Now, I don’t want to anymore.”
Some experiences are too painful, making people dread to hope again.
Tang Jianjun patted Zhuzi’s shoulder.
“That’s good.
We’ll pack up in a while and leave directly.
This broken house, you shouldn’t even live in it.
Even a pig pen outside is better than your house!”
Zhuzi gave a bitter smile, “It’s indeed a broken house.
We had no choice but to live here because we didn’t have money!”
So that was it.
Tang Chuxia could then understand why Brother Zhuzi’s house looked so miserable, though he had only broken one leg.
His family had not moved in long ago and the house was already a shambles.
His family must be really cruel.
At this point, she was curious to meet the mother who cheated, had a child, and even schemed against her own son.
How beautiful could she be to harbor such a venomous heart?
It seemed that God did hear her wish and granted her the chance to meet her.
To be honest, Tang Chuxia was somewhat disappointed when she saw the woman.
If she had been beautiful, she might have tolerated it since beauty could be an excuse for bad behavior.
But this was a woman with drooping eyebrows and triangular eyes, full of wrinkles, not to mention a pair of dead fish eyes that seemed malevolent.
How could such a woman give birth to the honest Brother Zhuzi?
“Little slut, did you spread some rumors?”
The old lady rushed into the room, ready to grab Zhuzi’s wife and push her into the still-burning firepit.
If she had succeeded, the woman’s face would likely have been ruined.
Luckily, Tang Chuxia noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled Zhuzi’s wife away.
Zhuzi’s wife, pale-faced and trembling, looked at the old lady apprehensively.
Seeing she didn’t succeed, the old lady sat on the ground, kicking her legs and slapping her thighs while crying out, “What bad luck do I have, marrying such a troublemaker into our family, stirring unrest!”
Zhuzi’s face turned ashen.
Seeing that his wife still looked pale, he jumped over, patted her back, and whispered, “She’s just farting!”
Zhuzi’s wife must have had a soft nature.
At this moment, aside from crying, she really didn’t know what else to do.
Tang Chuxia sighed softly.
With such a personality, against such a mother-in-law, no wonder her life was so miserable.
She poked Tang Jianjun and whispered, “Can you bear to watch this?”
Tang Jianjun gritted his teeth, “This kind of woman doesn’t deserve sympathy; she should be killed!”
He despised such old ladies the most.
There were many like her in the military.
After sending their sons there, they only cared about money.
They never asked about how their children were living, treating them like mere tools.
Such evil mothers-in-law were not rare.
Tang Chuxia’s smile brightened.
“I always knew you were the kindest, big brother!”
After she said this, Tang Jianjun became alert, grabbing her arm, “What are you planning to do?
Don’t get anyone killed!”
Amidst the old lady’s ranting curses, Tang Chuxia innocently blinked her eyes, “How could that be?
I’m so adorable.
How could you say something so vicious about me, big brother?”
Tang Jianjun: … When you say that, just think about Gu Beihuai.
Sometimes he really felt sorry for Gu Beihuai, who had been miserably bullied by Tang Chuxia when they were kids.
At this moment, her clear eyes were tumultuous, and anyone could guess she would not just stand by.
He saw Tang Chuxia squat down, face the old lady’s triangular eyes and frown with empathy, “Granny, the ground is so cold, please get up quickly.
Don’t catch a cold!”
She supported the old lady’s arm, one hand on her lower back, gently tapping a few spots.
After the old lady stood up bewildered, Tang Chuxia let go of her hand, still speaking empathetically, “Granny, you really are too kind-hearted!”
Tang Jianjun: …
Everyone: …
She’s kind-hearted? ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
