Chapter 13: Being Scolded by Mother-in-Law on the Street
Pointing and talking, contempt, curiosity, surprise, disgust... all kinds of looks and words shot out like arrows.
If it were the Su Hexi from the past, he would have been furious and started cursing, but the Su Hexi now just raised his chin slightly, as if those dirty words were just wind in his ears.
She even deliberately slowed down her pace and moved through the crowd so that more people could see her clothes.
This is exactly the effect she wants! Attention equals traffic! Only when people talk about it, people will be curious! Only when people are curious, people will buy it!
She didn't care what they scolded, she only cared whether they looked at the clothes!
She walked to a relatively open intersection, stopped, and showed off the clothes in her arms slightly. Although she did not shout, her confident and calm attitude and the outfit that was obviously out of tune with the gray, blue and green surroundings and highlighted her temperament were in themselves the most eye-catching advertisements.
She knew that taking this first step was difficult and required a lot of courage, but in order to survive and for the future, she had to put herself and her work in front of everyone.
She stood there, like a plant that had just experienced wind and rain, but stood firm and began to sprout new buds, facing all kinds of gazes, ready to embrace the challenging business opportunities that belonged to her.
Some young girls passing by cast curious and even slightly surprised glances at her. Just when she mustered up the courage and was about to try to introduce herself to a girl who seemed somewhat interested, a burst of sharp and rapid shouting suddenly exploded like a broken gong, instantly breaking the fragile balance!
"Su Hexi! You shameless jinx! You're such a troublemaker!!"
Su Hexi frowned and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the crowd being roughly pushed aside, and her mother-in-law Wang Huixian and sister-in-law Zhou Lanyin rushing in aggressively.
Wang Huixian's eyes were red and swollen, she pointed at her nose, and her whole body was shaking; Zhou Lanyin followed behind her mother, her face full of contempt and shame, she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"What sin did our Zhou family commit? Marrying a shameless thing like you!" Wang Huixian didn't give Su Hexi a chance to speak. Her voice was so sharp and piercing that her saliva almost sprayed on her face. "You cheated on me and raised a man! You got pregnant with a bastard! Wasn't it shameful enough to be beaten to a pulp? Now you're showing off in all sorts of weird clothes! You've completely disgraced our Zhou family! Did my son kill someone or set a fire in his past life? He deserves this retribution, being haunted by a vixen like you!"
Zhou Lanyin also cried and joined in: "That's right! Please let my brother go! You have no shame, but we still have some! Divorce my brother immediately! Get out of our Zhou family!"
Their appearance and fierce cursing instantly drew everyone's attention. The few potential customers who were curious were now only interested in watching the fun, pointing and talking even louder.
Su Hexi's originally prepared sales mood was completely disrupted, and her plans were completely ruined. A surge of evil anger suddenly rose up!
She had finally taken this step, had finally seen a glimmer of hope, and they came to disrupt the situation again! And in front of so many people, they humiliated her with the most vicious language!
When had Su Hexi ever been treated like this?!
She straightened her spine abruptly, fearlessly meeting Wang Huixian's gaze, which seemed to want to eat her. Her voice was as cold as ice: "I want to ask, who is unwilling to let who go?"
"Divorce?" Su Hexi sneered, her eyes filled with mockery. "You think I don't want a divorce? I'd love it! Go back now, immediately, and tell Zhou Lin that if he even gives me the nod, I'll crawl over and get a divorce certificate from him!"
She glanced around at the stunned onlookers and spoke clearly, word for word, "It's not me, Su Hexi, who's refusing to leave! It's your Zhou family's eldest son, Zhou Lin! He's dragging his feet and refusing to leave! If you want to scold me, go scold him! Persuade him to set me free! Stop clinging on like a sticky plaster, making me sick!"
These words were like thunder from a clear sky, shocking everyone!
Wang Huixian and Zhou Lanyin were stunned, as if they were meeting Su Hexi for the first time! Although she had acted out before, it was always by throwing a tantrum and demanding money or things. She had never asked for a divorce so clearly, calmly, or even with such strong disgust! And her words, implicitly and implicitly, were all blaming her son?
"You...you are talking nonsense! My eldest brother was forced by your Su family to marry you. How could he not want to divorce you? It must be you who is pestering him!" Zhou Lanyin's face turned red with anger.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Su Hexi refused to give in. "Go ask Zhou Lin yourself! Ask him if he would rather be cuckolded than divorce! He would rather be a father and raise someone else's child than divorce! Ask him if he's a jerk!"
Wang Huixian was so angry at these words that her vision went dark. She clutched her chest and pointed at Su Hexi with trembling fingers: "You...you vicious woman! You cheated on a man and got pregnant with a bastard, and you're so confident! Rinzi was willing to marry you because your Su family forced her to! Just because Rinzi's father owed your Su family a favor, your Su family used you to get back at us and forced you to the Zhou family..."
The crowd around them was completely excited. This news was too explosive!
"So it's not the wife who refuses to leave, it's the son who refuses to let go? What's Zhou Lin trying to do?"
"Yeah, from what you said, Zhou Lin was forced to marry this little bitch. Now that she wants a divorce, she can just do it quickly!"
"I don't know what kind of drug this little devil gave Zhou Lin to make him so devoted to her!"
Just as the scene was in chaos, Zhou Zhisheng squeezed into the crowd, panting, and quickly came to his mother and sister and said urgently, "Mom! Little sister! Stop making trouble! Go back quickly! Big brother is here!"
Zhou Zhisheng couldn't stop his mother and sister. Seeing them rushing out to the street angrily, he knew something was wrong and quickly went to the construction site to find Zhou Lin to report the news.
Before he could finish his words, he heard an anxious roar from outside the crowd: "Mom! Lan Yin! What are you doing!"
Zhou Lin, sweating profusely, pushed his way through the crowd and rushed in. He had obviously come straight from the construction site, not even bothering to brush off the dust. His face was filled with anxiety and anger. He saw his mother, her face pale with anger, his sister sobbing, and Su Hexi standing in the middle with a stern face, surrounded by onlookers. He immediately understood everything.
"Go back!" This was the first time Zhou Lin used such a stern tone to address his family. He grabbed his mother's arm and glanced at his sister. "Everyone, go home! Don't embarrass yourself here!"
"Rinzi! She...she..." When Wang Huixian saw her son, grievance and anger surged in her heart, and she pointed at Su Hexi and wanted to accuse him.
"If you have anything to say, go home and talk about it!" Zhou Lin interrupted her without question. His face turned ashen, and the strength in his hands increased. He almost semi-forced Wang Huixian and Zhou Lanyin to pull out of the crowd.
He turned around and glanced at Su Hexi, who was standing there expressionless, with complicated eyes. He took a step forward and pulled her into his arms, "You go back with me!"
