Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 541 - 525: Greed
Lin Wan spoke, then with a slap, hit Shen Rong on the other cheek, perhaps in disbelief of what had just happened, Shen Rong and Li Chang in the living room, like mannequins, were still dazed and hadn’t reacted.
"This slap is to tell you that I, Lin Wan, am not easy to bully. Be careful what you say around me in the future. I usually don’t like to get angry; it’s best to stay harmonious among relatives. Don’t go too far. I generally don’t get angry, but when I do, I’m not to be messed with."
"...." Shen Rong finally reacted, staring at Lin Wan incredulously, and slowly raised a hand to touch her burning face, erupting with a scream.
"Lin Wan, you bitch, you dare hit me, watch me fight you!" she shouted as she rushed towards Lin Wan.
Han Yi quickly stood up and kicked Shen Rong to the ground. If it weren’t for the fact that he, a big man, didn’t want to argue with her, he would have hit her back in middle school.
Unexpectedly, over the years, she has become more unruly, even insulting and hitting his wife. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Shen Rong, dare touch Xiao Wan today, and believe me, I’ll dislocate your arm immediately."
"Cousin, it’s just women squabbling a bit, isn’t this excessive for a man? Besides, my cousin was the one who hit Rongrong first. You allow hitting, but don’t let others hit back?" Li Chang saw the couple bullying his wife, and if he didn’t stand up now, they would definitely treat him like a coward.
Although he feared this cousin who’d been in the army for years, his words didn’t have much momentum.
"My wife hits, and just can’t hit back, what, do you have a problem?" Han Yi, fiercely and with a glance at Li Chang, whose body shivered under the influence.
The momentum completely lost, he awkwardly didn’t know how to retort.
"Han Yi, dare hit me, ah, I’ll fight you!" Shen Rong rose frantically from the ground, preparing to pounce at Han Yi.
Lin Wan feared Han Yi as a man, not good to argue with a woman, so she stood in front and pulled Shen Rong’s hair, unexpectedly tossing her to the side, causing Shen Rong to scream in pain in the courtyard.
Tan Aixiang hurried forward to pull Shen Rong, enough for Han Yi Lin Wan to discipline a bit, it’s not good for them if it continues further. "Rongrong, stop, we’re all family, what are you doing?"
"Get off me, watch me tear Lin Wan, you bitch, are you not my saozi? Can’t see the couple hitting me alone? Why are you pulling me? Get off!" Shen Rong struggled free from Tan Aixiang’s restraint as she spoke.
"Li Chang, what are you doing? Can’t see I’m being bullied? Hurry and help me!"
"I...I..." Li Chang nervously glanced at Han Yi, stammering and afraid to step forward.
"Ai Xiang, let her go. I want to see what she really wants today." Han Ying was furious, leaning on the door frame, pointing at Shen Rong in the courtyard, adding "Unfilial descendant, isn’t kneeling yet."
Shen Rong shook off Tan Aixiang’s pull, saying "Why should I kneel? Grandma, you can see your granddaughter is being hit by your grandson, and instead of seeking justice for me, you ask me to kneel? Bias to the point of not even caring for granddaughter. Fine...fine, you don’t want me, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as grandma."
"Rongrong, how can you speak to grandma like that, apologize quickly." Tan Aixiang quickly rebuked seeing Shen Rong’s words were too much.
"I won’t apologize, it’s not my fault."
"Grandma, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, today Rongrong’s words were indeed a bit out of line, I apologize here to cousin and cousin-in-law. They’ve already hit Rongrong, let’s forgive her for today. Speaking of, it’s my fault, it was I who thought to borrow money, Rongrong did it all for me."
"Get out, get out, quickly take her away. Don’t let me see her." Han Ying pointed at the still unrepentant Shen Rong, breathing heavily in anger.
The heavens are blind, how did the eldest family produce two unruly troublemakers?
"Grandma, don’t be mad, I’ll persuade her properly when I go back, and visit you in a few days." Li Chang accompanied with a smile, hurriedly pulling Shen Rong out.
At this time, neighbors had curiously looked over.
Seeing Shen Rong with disheveled hair, swollen cheeks, clothes dirty with dust, in a rather miserable state, everyone kindly stepped forward to ask "What’s wrong?"
Shen Rong rudely responded with hostility "None of your business, mind your own affairs."
Leaving neighbors embarrassed. Some neighbors, annoyed by her, scornfully glanced at the couple.
Li Chang, always conscious of face, was humiliated this time by Shen Rong, the troublemaker woman indeed, could only forcefully smile and explain "Rongrong and I had a bit of a spat," as he softly coaxed Shen Rong.
Shen Rong, easily swayed by Li Chang’s sweet words, quickly calmed down in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, Lin Wan just wait, I’ll remember this beating, someday, I’ll get revenge. Also, you must help me. Just now, really, I was hit by the couple, and you dared not help, truly a coward."
In an unrecognizable place, Li Chang impatiently pushed Shen Rong away, hands in pockets, without waiting for her, walked on ahead, with no sign of tenderness left "You still dare say, I think you’ve completely forgotten our purpose for coming here."
Shen Rong choked on his words, halted, ignoring the pain, hurriedly caught up to Li Chang, explaining "I...I didn’t forget. Just now, you’ve heard, they were really excessive. Borrowing money makes us so humbled like grandchildren. Look at Lin Wan’s smug look, I’m annoyed just seeing it. No borrowing, wait, even for borrowing, I would avoid their door in the future."
Li Chang glared fiercely at Shen Rong "Truly brainless. Borrowing money from others, if not humbled, show a good attitude, or act arrogant like you did just now, scolding people, no wonder you got hit, and expect them to lend you money? Only you can have such a stupid brain, your mother must’ve eaten pig brain when pregnant."
"How can you say that, I...I was doing it for you today." To Li Chang’s reproach, Shen Rong, like a punchbag, dared not argue.
"For me? More like for our family. Do you even realize, Brother Liu only gave us a week, many want to invest, he said wouldn’t wait past the deadline. If we can’t raise the money, no share in the fortune for us. At home, weren’t you confident, claiming grandma would definitely lend, then saying your cousin-in-law who now runs a business would surely lend at least five hundred. And that cousin of yours. Still planning to visit their home tomorrow, the result? Today, you’ve been rejected outright. You went further, even cursed them. Now, all paths blocked, no room to pivot. So, what do you suggest?"
"I never expected it! How could I have known today Lin Wan would be so strong, normally I say something and she didn’t react...Definitely today because cousin is present, she has the guts. On usual occasions, would she dare, wouldn’t she obediently lend? Han Yi is no good either; hitting a woman, not caring that I’m his cousin. My grandma is just biased, watching the couple hit me, not stopping them, holding me instead. Hmph, tomorrow I’m going to the factory to complain to my brother."
"You’re waiting till tomorrow, tonight they’ve probably already talked first. Fool, now only your mom gave us one hundred, we’re still short two hundred. After this, go to the factory and find your brother, asking him instead since cousin-in-law couldn’t lend."
"You still talk, aren’t we just investing three hundred, at grandma’s you say five hundred, then ask Lin Wan for two thousand, how much do you want to invest?"
"You know nothing, report a real figure, they may not lend that amount, stating five hundred, if they can’t lend that much, shouldn’t they be embarrassed to lend less. This way, when gathered, we’ll have enough money."
"Also, the reason for borrowing much from your cousin-in-law, didn’t you say she had money, better lent than idle at home, use it to do other business. You truly are stupid, so stupid indeed, always with a worm in the brain. Fed enough?"
Shen Rong silently hung her head under Li Chang’s critique, daring not speak much, feeling such circumstance was already habitual.
Shen Rong touched her still burning face, worried "How will I see my brother and explain this?"
