He Ting cried and yelled, "I didn't do that! He was clearly flirting with that stinky widow, and I taught that stinky widow a lesson, and he dragged me out of the house and beat me in front of the whole village, pulling my hair, hitting my face, and kicking my stomach, wuwuwu~"
"What? You went to teach that widow a lesson?" Zhang's mother disagreed: "He Ting, you did the wrong thing!"
"You knew that Zhiming was obsessed with that widow, so how could you teach that widow a lesson? Isn't that asking for a fight? You haven't been able to give Zhiming a child in all these years, so you should wait until you are pregnant before teaching that bitch a lesson. Otherwise, aren't you afraid that Zhiming will divorce you and marry that widow instead?"
He Ting: "He dares!"
"You can't give Zhiming a son. To their family, you are just a hen that doesn't lay eggs. What is there for them to be afraid of?" Zhang's mother said this bluntly.
"Who are you talking about as a hen that doesn't lay eggs?" He Ting exploded:
"Li Zhiming is hooking up with bitches everywhere, why should I swallow my anger? No, you speak for Li Zhiming and you don't even speak for me. Which side are you on? Are you having an affair with Li Zhiming?"
Zhang's mother's face changed drastically: "He Ting, what nonsense are you talking about? Zhiming is my son-in-law, how could I have an affair with him... You can't say that! Old He, don't listen to He Ting, it's not true at all!"
The second half of the sentence was directed to her second husband, Mr. He.
The thin middle-aged man sat in a dim corner, smoking a pipe in his hand. In the midst of the smoke, he raised his head slowly and scolded He Ting:
"You little bitch, you have no respect for your parents. She is your mother, how could she do something so immoral? What will happen if this gets out? Huifen, don't worry, I know you have nothing to do with Zhiming."
"Mr. He, just believe me," said Zhang's mother, looking deeply moved.
Although He Ting did not refute, she still curled her lips in disdain.
Of course she knew that Zhang's mother could not have any relationship with Li Zhiming.
After all, no matter how picky Li Zhiming is about food, Zhang's mother is old and ugly, and Li Zhiming probably won't be able to eat anything if asked.
What I just said was just an angry remark.
He Ting was still very afraid of He's father, so she apologized to Zhang's mother, "Mom, I just said those words in anger, please don't hold it against me."
Of course, Zhang's mother could tell that He Ting didn't mean what she said, so she didn't care. She was just a money-loser.
But no matter what, she can't be divorced.
So Zhang's mother continued, "He Ting, although I am not your biological mother, your father and I are husband and wife. Our family has been so harmonious for so many years. I think it is because I have managed it well, so I can still say a few words to you."
"...You are Zhiming's legally married wife, and you have been childless for so many years. It is normal for Zhiming to have other intentions. All you can do is endure it and wait for you to give birth to a son..."
All the time Zhang's mother kept talking, it was all He Ting's fault.
He Ting was so annoyed by what she heard.
This idiot, her father only said one word for her, does she really think she is good at controlling men?
She was just a dog they raised as a family. Her father coaxed her like this just to make her work more willingly.
It's really pathetic and ridiculous. It would be fine if she didn't know about it, but she even quarreled with her only son because of these unrelated family members...
Thinking of Zhang Pengfei, He Ting's attention was instantly diverted.
In order to get a high bride price, He's father married her to the mountains, and she hasn't returned to the village for a long time.
She ran back home after getting upset today, and on the way she met some villagers who gossiped with her about Zhang Pengfei.
Only then did she know that Zhang Pengfei and Xie Qingxiao had started a business.
Their business is not just a small one, they have opened a workshop in the village. The villagers are envious when they talk about them, which shows how well Zhang Pengfei and Xie Qingxiao are doing now.
"By the way, how is Pengfei doing recently?" He Ting interrupted Zhang's mother and changed the subject.
Hearing this, He's father also raised his head, and stared at Zhang's mother with his cloudy eyes.
When Zhang's mother heard Zhang Pengfei, she looked at He's father unnaturally and said, "Why are you bringing up that rebellious son for no reason?"
"I heard that he has been doing business with Xie Qingxiao recently, and it's going very well."
"Yes, but what does it have to do with him? He is just a dog under Xie Qingxiao," Zhang's mother sneered.
Originally, she felt a little guilty towards Zhang Pengfei because of He Ting's matter. She knew that the He family didn't want to give the land to Zhang Pengfei, so she found an excuse to drive him out.
But last time, He's father finally agreed to let him come back, and she took the initiative to find him, but he actually teamed up with the Xie family to treat her like that.
He really thought he was great just because he made some money from business. He was just a dog raised by the Xie family.
Unlike Guohua, who got into university, he will have a stable job after graduation, which is very impressive.
By then, I can take her to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and live a good life that everyone envies.
As for Zhang Pengfei, such a rebellious son should be considered dead.
"Zhang Pengfei tried to curry favor with the Xie family, and he really became famous!" A gloomy voice sounded from outside the door. Several people in the room turned their heads and saw He's father's son, He Guohua.
He Guohua was admitted to a junior college last year. Since the college entrance examination was resumed, the number of people in the village who have been admitted to college can be counted on one hand, and He Guohua is one of the few people in the village who have been admitted to college.
He is the pride of the He family.
He's father, who had the final say in front of Zhang's mother and He Ting, quickly put out his cigarette when he saw him come in.
The smile on Zhang's mother's face became much gentler, and she happily moved a stool and placed it in front of He Guohua.
"What do you mean?" He Ting asked.
He Guohua sat down on the chair without any hesitation, stretched out his hand to push the pair of black-framed glasses on his nose that looked a bit gentle, and said gloomily: "I heard that he bought a house in the city."
There has been a rumor in the village that Zhang Pengfei bought a house in the city. Some people believe it and some don't.
Zhang's mother just didn't believe it.
Zhang Pengfei has only been doing business with the Xie family for a short time, how could he buy a house so quickly?
"This can't be true, right?" Zhang's mother said doubtfully.
"It's true!" He Guohua's face became increasingly gloomy.
Because Zhang Pengfei was brought here by Zhang's mother, he thought he was superior to Zhang Pengfei. Now that Zhang Pengfei has become successful, he naturally feels uncomfortable.
"Not only did he buy a house, I heard he also has a girlfriend. She's a city girl who is not only pretty but also has a good family background. They're going to get married once his house in the city is renovated!"
"What?" Zhang's mother and He Ting stood up at the same time.
Zhang Pengfei has actually bought a house and is getting married?
Zhang's mother was shocked.
As for He Ting, there was a hint of strangeness in her expression.
