The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 140 - 136: Stirring Up Trouble, Wu Juhua

Mrs. Xiao’s eyes nearly popped out, "Isn’t this nonsense? Ranran is not that kind of person!"

No one understood better than Mrs. Xiao how much harm rumors like these could do to a young girl.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, "What a bunch of bastards, all gossiping!"

Li Xiaohua tried to calm her, "Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. If I had known you’d react this way, I wouldn’t have told you."

"Why shouldn’t you tell me?" Mrs. Xiao stood up and tidied herself, speaking quickly, "Thank goodness you told me, otherwise, how would I know how to stick up for Ranran?"

She moved quickly, leaving Li Xiaohua in shock and having to follow along, "Sister-in-law! Don’t be impulsive!"

Mrs. Xiao was not impulsive; she was even a bit excited.

They really just wanted to show off, to build more goodwill for her silly son.

Unfortunately, Wen Ran was tough—like a jack of all trades.

She had her own money, was favored by the team leader, and had good relations. Mrs. Xiao was already worried about how to push the young couple’s relationship further.

After all...

She was old, but not blind.

Ranran clearly knew that public security officer surnamed Shao, and he was also curious about Ranran.

Men are simple; once they get curious, they can’t hold back from wanting to know more.

By then, once he familiarizes himself with Ranran’s many virtues, what would her son do?

Though sometimes Mrs. Xiao couldn’t help but look down on her stupid son.

But...

Family is family.

Want to snatch away the daughter-in-law she immediately fancied?

Mrs. Xiao could only wave her hand, telling you that’s impossible!

She was originally worried about how to guard people for her son.

And now, some fool was offering up a chance.

"I’m not impulsive," Mrs. Xiao’s mouth was like a machine gun, "I’m just going to seek justice. Damn it, eat from the bowl until full, then wipe your mouth and start cursing the mother."

Who do we have to thank for all the wild boar meat in our team this year? Oh, who was it that charged up the mountain for a hunt, only to be besieged by wolves?"

Ungrateful bastards, I want to see who is so shameless, spreading gossip from behind. I’m going to tear into Wu Juhua before I deal with the others!"

Li Xiaohua: "."

Sister-in-law is scary.

Mrs. Xiao, like a firecracker ready to explode, made Li Xiaohua worry she might get caught in it too, so she hesitated several times before going off to find Mr. Xiao.

Better let her brother talk some sense into her.

Mrs. Xiao arrived just in time to catch Wu Juhua red-handed.

She, like a buffoon, sat under a big tree, delivering a monologue lamenting how outrageous and hateful Wen Ran was.

"Oh heavens, this is simply unjust!"

She wailed, "I’ve never seen such an arrogant, unreasonable daughter-in-law in my life. We work so hard, and for her wedding, she demands a king’s ransom!"

She wiped her tears, looking pitiful indeed, "Three hundred yuan! A whole three hundred, is that not enough to marry multiple wives? I said our family was having difficulties and asked for understanding, and she insulted me, calling me incompetent.

Said if I couldn’t come up with the money, I should go sell myself. Boohoo, at my age, with children old enough to be parents themselves, I must endure such humiliation."

The surrounding crowd was complex in their composition.

Some were just there for the show, some joined in maligning Wen Ran, and others wanted to shame Wu Juhua.

"Oh, let me tell you, across these ten miles, it’s only the educated youth who would dare to say such things."

"Isn’t that right, and three hundred yuan? Does she think she’s worth her weight in gold?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Old thing, what are you saying? No one forced Zhao Sanbao to marry after all! If you’re capable, bring the money; if not, get lost."

"Hey! Why are you siding with the educated youth? Are you also planning to sell yourself for that price?!"

"Slap~"

The verbal confrontation instantly escalated to physical conflict.

The one who acted out was a young girl, "Sell, sell, sell, I’ll sell your father! How about I sell myself to be your father’s wife? Would being your mother be okay?"

Mrs. Xiao, ready to act aggressively herself, was suddenly stunned, watching the young girl leap up and slap Wu Juhua.

"You really have a big mouth. You think the whole world revolves around you, Wu Juhua, and that Wen Ran wants to be your daughter-in-law? Ha! How much did you drink last night? Still not sober?"

"No mirror at home, at least there’s urine? Didn’t you and your son look at yourselves before leaving your house?"

You petty thief, thinking you could snag Wen Ran with your three hundred yuan dowry? Ate too many mushrooms and fried your brain with them? Besides, does Wen Ran even know about your family’s Sanbao!"

"Even if Wen Ran were blind, she’d still not look your way, ha! Ha, ha, ha!"

Wu Juhua stood dumbfounded, her face burning, her mouth agape, "You, you hit me?"

The young girl jumped up and delivered another swift slap, "Allow me to satisfy you!"

"Slap~"

Wu Juhua was struck again, as the young girl muttered, "Truly an idiot, I’ve grown up, but this is the first time I’ve seen anyone begging for a beating."

"Ahhh!"

Wu Juhua fumed with rage, "Where did this little slut come from, speaking in such a degrading way? Are you trying to steal our Sanbao from Wen Ran?"

Such a talent for distorting the truth with her mouth.

The young girl was amused, "Oh sure, hurry up and marry me then, and stop troubling Wen Ran.

I’ve watched your family act shamelessly for too long, marry me so that I might return the peace to our Silly Deer Team.

I still stand by my words, anyone who dares ruin Wen Ran’s reputation further, I’ll rip their mouth apart!"

"You, you, you..."

Fight? She was no match.

Wu Juhua’s hand, which she extended, was slapped away by the young girl, who then delivered another to Wu Juhua in return.

With a crisp sound, the slap rang loudly.

Argue? She stood no chance.

Every acerbic word Wu Juhua mustered was shot down by the young girl in a snappy retort, laced with mockery.

Mrs. Xiao showed up, finding herself unnecessary.

She hadn’t lifted a finger, yet Wu Juhua was already utterly defeated.

It was truly something.

The sight of everyone treating it all as entertainment further unnerved Wu Juhua.

"It’s hard to say really.

I think Sanbao might not be capable, but at least he’s handsome, right?" someone chuckled from the crowd, "Who knows, perhaps Wen Ran just likes Zhao Sanbao more."

Tracing the voice back, it came from Accountant Li’s daughter, Li Lihong, who was married to Tian Sanzong.

The young girl wanted to retort but couldn’t place her immediately, struggling on how to respond.

From the heavens came a thunderous sound as Mrs. Xiao made her glamorous appearance.

Damn!

This was the chance she had been waiting for.

"Oh~ isn’t this Lihong? What are you doing here instead of serving Sanzong at home?" Mrs. Xiao smiled slyly, her words cutting like knives, every sentence piercing right to Li Lihong’s heart.
