In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 191 Kill Her
Liu Fengjiao wouldn't listen at all. Her daughter was as delicate as a flower, so how could she be ruined by that fat pig Fan Tong?
Her eyes flashed with resentment and she gritted her teeth, "Damn bitch, this matter can't end. I'm going to find that damn girl and fight her to the death."
Chen Zhancai also had a gloomy face. The damn girl actually dared to plot against his daughter. He would make her pay the price.
He said viciously, "I'm going to chop her up right now to vent my Ruolan's anger."
As he said this, he picked up the sickle in the corner and was about to walk out.
"Stop right there." Old Mrs. Chen shouted and stepped forward to block the door.
Chen Zhancai's eyes were red, "That damn girl caused Ruolan to lose her innocence. I can't swallow this."
"Son, I know you're angry, but please don't do anything stupid. Didn't I tell you just now that we're not in the right here? If you really piss that damn girl off, we might end up in trouble. With a stain on our reputation, how can you possibly pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to our family in the future?"
"If I can't even protect my daughter, what's the point of me bringing glory to my clan? Even if I have to risk my life today, I'm going to chop that damn girl into pieces."
"Son, calm down. We can't afford to offend that damn girl right now. You won't be able to do anything to her if you go there. Instead, you'll get yourself into trouble."
Chen Zhancai held the sickle tightly in his hand, the veins on his arms bulged, and the anger in his heart had reached its peak.
Seeing her son like this, Old Lady Chen was extremely anxious, "Son, listen to me, I can't ruin your future because of a momentary impulse.
That girl knows how to make sugar now, and even Wu Baoan is on her side. Although I drugged her, I didn't see her bringing Ruolan into the house.
Even if we go to her, she won't admit it, but will accuse us of false accusation.
As the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Wait until you pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, and then it won't be too late to take revenge."
Liu Fengjiao sobbed beside her, "Are we just going to let that damn girl go like this? My poor Ruolan."
Old Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment. "Of course we can't just let it go like this. We'll slowly look for opportunities in the future, and then we can settle all the old and new accounts together. For now, we should consider what to do with Ruolan."
After hearing what Old Lady Chen said, Chen Zhancai loosened his grip on the sickle. "Mom, what do you think we should do next?"
"Zhancai, Fengjiao, what has happened cannot be undone. Don't be too anxious. Even if you worry yourself to death, it won't help.
You have to stay calm. Now is not the time to act like a spoiled brat. You must not make things worse.
The Fan family is a well-known and prestigious family that values reputation. If they really break off the relationship and refuse to admit it, then Ruolan's life will be completely ruined."
After hearing this, Liu Fengjiao calmed down a little. She felt that what her parents-in-law said was right. If this matter really got out of hand, it would not benefit Ruolan at all.
My husband has no future and my daughter has become a broken flower.
Thinking of this, Liu Fengjiao suppressed her inner anger and made herself clear-headed.
But the tears in her eyes could not stop flowing out, "You are all right, but I can't swallow this anger in my heart!"
Seeing her tone soften, Old Lady Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "My dear daughter-in-law, you have to swallow this anger even if you can't. As the saying goes, a little impatience can ruin a big plan. We still have a long time to live, and we have plenty of opportunities. The most important thing now is to deal with Ruolan's matter."
"Mom, you don't really want me to marry Ruolan to Fan Tong, do you?"
Liu Fengjiao's heart was broken, tears fell like rain.
"Everyone in Qingshui Town knows Fan Tong. He is a lustful devil. He is greedy for women and loves to sleep with prostitutes. He has toyed with countless beautiful girls and seduced countless decent women.
That's not all, there are several concubines in the family. If Ruolan really marries such a man, her life will be completely ruined."
"Feng Jiao, what you said is wrong. It's human nature to be lustful. How many capable men don't have three wives and four concubines, let alone a wealthy man like Fan Tong?"
Old Mrs. Chen persuaded her with both reason and emotion,
"When a woman marries, she only wants to have enough food and clothing. The Fan family is wealthy and powerful, so she has no worries about food and clothing, and she has servants to serve her. If Ruolan marries into the Fan family, she will fall into a happy nest.
What's more, they paid a generous gift of 250 taels of silver. Who in the whole Qingshui Town could be so generous?
Besides, our Ruolan is very charming. If she can make Fan Tong happy, she will have all the status and position. Think about it carefully, is this what mother said reasonable? "
Liu Fengjiao's heart was broken, the pain made her breathless, she lowered her head and cried bitterly.
"No, I can't. As the saying goes, it's better to be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. If Ruolan marries into the Fan family, not only will she have no status at all, but she will also be suppressed by the wife in every way. Such a life is simply suffering. I can't push my daughter into the fire pit."
Old Lady Chen said patiently, "Fengjiao, it's not as serious as you say. Didn't Mother just tell you that our Ruolan isn't the kind of child who doesn't know how to be tactful? As long as she can make Master Fan happy, even the legal wife will have to respect her."
Although Chen Zhancai was full of anger, he quickly calmed down after hearing what Old Lady Chen said.
She secretly calculated in her heart that Ruolan had already lost her virginity, and if she didn't get married soon, she would be despised by the world.
Although Fan Tong's character is a little poor, he is rich. If Ruolan really marries him, it may not be a bad thing.
Being able to marry such a wealthy man, even if he gave them a little money, it would be enough for their family to spend for a year or two.
Thinking of this, he felt much better. He coughed lightly and said to Liu Fengjiao,
"Feng Jiao, my mother is right. As the saying goes, spit can drown a person. In order to stop people from talking, we must marry Ruolan to Fan Tong as soon as possible. Think about it carefully.
The Fan family is powerful in the town. Even if Ruolan becomes a concubine, it is better than marrying into an ordinary family and suffering hardships. She will not have to worry about food, clothing and other expenses, and our family will also benefit from it.
When our son inherits our business and gets married, he will have a solid foundation. If this marriage goes through, our family's future life will be much better."
"That's right, Fengjiao, you have to think about the whole family. Although it's a bit unfair for Ruolan to marry him, there's nothing else she can do. Once she has established a foothold in the Fan family, maybe she can even help her parents' family." Old Mrs. Chen also chimed in.
"How can you be so cruel? Ruolan is your own flesh and blood!"
Liu Fengjiao looked at Chen Zhancai with tears in her eyes, her lips trembling, her heart filled with despair and helplessness...
