73 -73: About to Cause Trouble
Lady Zhuzi was a bit embarrassed, but still asked, “Where did this come from?”
Tang Chuxia straightened some messy strands of hair, “It’s because I see the kindness in your heart!”
She pointed at Brother Zhuzi’s wife, “Look at sister-in-law.
I heard her family wasn’t well-off, but when you married her to Brother Zhuzi, she was one of the best girls in ten miles and eight villages, right?”
Lady Zhuzi naturally disagreed; in her heart, this daughter-in-law was the embodiment of evil.
However, some of the onlookers who had come to watch the excitement still spoke a word of fairness, “Indeed, she’s a good girl, and she’s been very capable since she married in!”
Tang Chuxia nodded in agreement, “See, everyone’s eyes are clear!” After she spoke, Lady Zhuzi became unhappy and raised her eyebrows scornfully, “What?
Didn’t you say I was kind?
Why bring her up?”
Tang Chuxia smiled, “Lady Zhuzi, don’t be so anxious, I had to set the scene!
Otherwise, everyone would definitely wonder why I’d speak so!”
Her looks were indeed outstanding, and her voice was pleasant.
Speaking calmly and soothingly, it was easy to calm people’s hearts and stir their emotions.
“Such a good girl as sister-in-law, marrying Brother Zhuzi who is such an honest man, it’s like they were made for each other.
You doing this good deed…
I’m complimenting you!”
Lady Zhuzi’s face was already impatient, “Nonsense about made for each other, she is just a little slut, seducing my son to drift away from me!”
Tang Chuxia waved her index finger a few times, “Lady Zhuzi, what you said is wrong.
From what I see, sister-in-law has not done so; she even kept quiet all these years about the incident a few years ago when you made your younger brother-in-law call another man father.
How can you falsely accuse sister-in-law like this?”
After this remark, the onlookers exploded.
What?
Calling someone else dad?
That would mean…
A woman who didn’t get along with Lady Zhuzi stepped forward and said, “No wonder this youngest son doesn’t resemble his siblings or Mr.
Zhuzi!
Turns out he’s someone else’s seed!”
Lady Zhuzi’s face turned pale, and she shouted, “You little slut, making up stories about me, wait until I tear your mouth!”
Tang Chuxia wasn’t going to let her succeed, looking puzzled and innocent, she said, “Lady Zhuzi, how can you treat me like this?
I was clearly praising you!”
Tang Chuxia hid behind Tang Jianjun; he raised his hand to block Lady Zhuzi’s attack, his tone full of menace as he warned, “I am a soldier, are you sure you want to lay a hand on me?”
Lady Zhuzi paused.
Her son had also been a soldier, and she had boasted about it for a long time; she knew the consequences of assaulting a soldier.
Pointing at Tang Chuxia, she cursed, “I want to deal with this little slut!”
Tang Jianjun said coldly, “Xiaxia is my biological sister.
Think carefully about where you want to end up in jail by assaulting her.”
Lady Zhuzi’s hand paused, her facial muscles twitched from the cold before calming down.
At that moment, Tang Chuxia innocently asked the people around her, “Did I say something wrong?”
People nearby didn’t dare to respond, not because they were afraid of Lady Zhuzi, but because they thought Tang Chuxia was too correct, except for saying it in front of the person directly involved.
Tang Jianjun pressed on Tang Chuxia’s head, “Could you exert a bit less effort?”
Tang Chuxia stuck out her tongue, “I was just doing good deeds!”
Everyone: Haha…
We believe you, not!
Even Brother Zhuzi’s wife wanted to laugh by now, having never seen such a cunning girl.
Perhaps due to the interruption by Tang Chuxia and Tang Jianjun, Lady Zhuzi couldn’t continue causing a scene and ended up covering her face and started crying loudly.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t pitiful enough, just felt sarcastic. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Finally, Mr.
Zhuzi had a chance to speak, “Shut your mouth!
Aren’t you ashamed enough!”
Lady Zhuzi suddenly fell silent, her face turning bright red.
Tang Chuxia looked at their behavior and couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Zhuzi’s younger brother pushed through the crowd and shouted, “Brother Five, where did you find this madman?
To get back at me and our mother, you dare to say such disgusting things?”
Zhuzi, leaning on a tree branch as a crutch, coldly watched his once dearly loved younger brother, feeling an endless chill in his heart.
He just quietly watched his younger brother lose his mind.
“It’s true or not, you should know in your heart!”
That was all Zhuzi said, causing his younger brother to shiver.
Despite appearing simple, Zhuzi was also a soldier alongside Tang Jianjun and belonged to the Special Forces.
How could he really be a coward?
It was just that his familial ties had bent his posture.
Now, standing up again, even with a broken leg, he was still a man.
The malevolence exuding from him couldn’t be hidden by his tattered cotton clothes.
His younger brother took two steps back, fearfully watching Brother Five, who resembled a bloodthirsty beast, and shrank behind their mother.
Lady Zhuzi also looked toward her usually gullible son, her eyes darting away.
Mr.
Zhuzi, however, showed some firmness, “That’s enough, it’s baseless; drop it, everyone go back.
We’ll sort out our family’s issues ourselves!”
Those in the village who had come to watch the excitement had no choice but to leave.
Only the village chief and Zhuzi’s family remained.
They returned to their dilapidated straw house, where the cold wind whistled through, making everyone feel chilly.
Thankfully, Zhuzi’s wife added some more firewood to the pit.
Everyone sat around the pit in silence.
It was Tang Chuxia who broke the silence with a sneeze, asking, “Why is it so cold?
Does anyone know what’s going on?”
Tang Jianjun sensed she might stir things up again but still pulled her closer to him, “This broken house is drafty everywhere, no wonder it’s cold.”
Tang Chuxia exclaimed to the village chief, “Uncle, are there many houses like this in our village?”
The village chief grimaced, “There are.
Everyone is having a tough time!”
Tang Chuxia responded, “But how come after I entered our village, I only see Brother Zhuzi’s family living like this?
Other families’ houses, even if shabby, shouldn’t have skylights or drafts, right?”
The village chief, embarrassed to let outsiders see their plight and even though it wasn’t his home, still felt ashamed.
Tang Chuxia continued, “Brother Zhuzi is a veteran, and he was an officer before he retired, wasn’t he?”
She was asking Tang Jianjun, who nodded, “Yes, and he was commended several times!”
The village chief grew even more embarrassed.
Tang Chuxia rubbed her hands and stuffed them into Tang Jianjun’s pocket, feeling considerably warmer, then said, “Doesn’t the government take care of Brother Zhuzi?
He was injured while on duty!”
Tang Jianjun looked toward Zhuzi’s parents and coldly said, “How could they not take care?
Once I return, I’ll file a report and let the leaders see who had promised to take good care of Zhuzi, and what punishment they will face!”
Zhuzi’s parents turned pale, clearly frightened!
They remembered that when Zhuzi’s leader had sent him home, he had said a few words.
At that time, they thought it was just a courtesy and didn’t take it seriously.
Now seeing Tang Jianjun’s expression, it might not have been just courtesy.
Tang Chuxia laughed, “Brother Two, don’t scare people.
I suppose the person who made the promise didn’t expect that a soldier’s word is his bond!”
Her gaze fell on Zhuzi’s parents, “Uncle, Aunt, don’t be scared by Brother Two.
At most, it’d be a public trial, like questioning whether that young man’s father is really your uncle!”
