Chapter 335 Who gave me the confidence?
Mrs. Liu waited in the reception room for almost an incense stick of time before Zhang Juexia arrived.
During the period of waiting, she felt more and more aggrieved.
I really regret it!
After Zhang Juexia came in, Mrs. Liu stood up tremblingly, "I'm sorry to bother you."
"I heard from Shopkeeper Li that you have something urgent to talk to me about? Just tell me what it is. I have other things to do."
"Xia'er, you really are a good child! You say you hate us, but now that you hear I have something urgent to ask for, you come out to see me!"
Zhang Juexia was stunned. When had she ever hated her? Was this person a little too self-righteous?
"Mrs. Liu, you're overthinking it. You're causing a fuss in my shop, and it's affecting my business.
I invited you to the backyard, and it only affected me.
I will still settle this account. As I said before, if you have something to say, please speak up. If not, I will send you away."
"No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."
Mrs. Liu forced a smile and said, "I've been running for half the morning and I haven't had a sip of water yet!"
"Bring tea."
Zhang Juexia sat on the chair, waiting for Mrs. Liu to drink a few sips of tea, and said, "It's finally time to tell her!"
"Actually, I came to you for nothing. I just wanted to talk to you."
Zhang Juexia stood up and was about to leave, "You are teasing me!"
"Don't......"
Mrs. Liu called Zhang Juexia pitifully, "I did something wrong about you and Sanle. I came all the way here to apologize to you."
Zhang Juexia frowned, "This happened many years ago, he is married, and I am married, so don't mention it again.
Your family has already harmed Zhang Qiuye, do you want to harm me now?"
Mrs. Liu shook her head like a rattle, "I didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand me.
I came here just to ask how you are doing. Xia'er, tell me the truth, are you really happy married to a hunter?
Zhang Juexia chuckled, her eyes wide open as she stared at the person in front of her very seriously, "No, who are you? What's it to you whether I'm happy or not? I mean, did you come to the wrong door?"
"Look at how you speak with thorns now. I know you are living a miserable life after marrying a hunter in the mountains.
It's a happy event that your husband passed the imperial examination and became a military scholar, but as soon as he did, your mother-in-law arranged for him to marry a concubine.
After hearing this, I felt very uncomfortable.
Xia'er, even if your husband passed the military examination, his family is from the mountains and is very poor. They are not worthy of you."
Zhang Juexia snorted coldly, "Then according to you, who can be worthy of me?"
"Of course it's us Sanle! Think about it, he is a real scholar, much better than your husband's martial arts scholar."
"Mrs. Liu, are you really so bored that you come to my house to make fun of me?
"No matter how good your son is, what does it have to do with me? As I said before, he is married, I am married, there is no connection between us, please stop worrying about it, okay?"
"How can I worry about this for nothing? My daughter-in-law, Li Yiran, is unfilial to her parents. I will divorce her when my son returns from abroad.
It's just right, you can take this opportunity to quickly divorce your husband.
Don't worry, our family doesn't mind that you can't have children. Our eldest and second eldest sons already have sons. When the time comes, you can adopt whoever you like from their family.
After you marry me, I can make it up to you.
You can do whatever you want, I will never interfere, and I will never be a nasty mother-in-law who annoys people."
Zhang Juexia looked at Mrs. Liu's lips moving up and down, thinking about her self-righteousness. He was furious and picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it at her, "I think it's time for you to wake up!"
Mrs. Liu was still painting a beautiful future in her mind, but it was ruthlessly extinguished by a bowl of water poured on her head.
She stood up in an instant, "Xia'er, how could you throw it at me? Was there anything I said wrong? You and Sanle are destined to be together, you..."
Zhang Juexia slapped her face repeatedly, left and right, until his hand felt the pain. "Shut up your crow mouth! Who do you think you are? You actually come to my house and meddle in my business. I think you are just bored and deserve a beating."
Mrs. Liu was beaten so hard that she was dizzy. She looked very embarrassed. Her hair was still dripping with water and her face was swollen like a steamed bun. She pointed at Zhang Juexia and said, "Why are you still hitting me?"
Zhang Juexia came closer to her and said, "Who gave you the confidence to come to me again and again, thinking that my not marrying your son is a loss for my whole life?
I tell you, it’s a good thing I didn’t marry your son, otherwise, I would beat you three times a day, why don’t you get out of here!
Mrs. Liu covered her painful cheeks with her hands and said unconvincedly, "I came here to talk to you out of good intentions, but you don't know what's good for you.
I tell you, there are many people who want to marry my son, so don't regret it."
"Get out of here, you..."
Zhang Juexia and Mrs. Liu started to compete with each other and drove her out of the door, but he still didn't give up.
At this moment, she happened to see Mrs. Xu who was about to go out, and she immediately became energetic again, "Mrs. Xu, come quickly, this is Mrs. Liu, your niece's granddaughter's mother-in-law. She came to my house today to ask me for help, and I guessed your relationship with just two or three sentences.
I tried to persuade her to come over and apologize to my daughter-in-law, but she refused to repent and kept saying that there were so many people who wanted to marry her son, and your niece wouldn't be a big deal.
This was outrageous. When Mrs. Xu heard this, she jumped three feet high and walked up to argue with Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was not to be outdone. She had just been humiliated by Zhang Juexia and was so angry she had no place to vent her anger. She pointed at Mrs. Xu and started to curse, "Where did you come from, old witch? How dare you meddle in our affairs!"
Mrs. Xu was obviously a seasoned fighter. She stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Liu's hair. "I told you to call me an old witch. Today, I'll use my age to bully you and show you who's the real boss."
The street was soon crowded with people. Mrs. Xu grabbed Mrs. Liu's hair and made her spin around in the crowd, taking the opportunity to shout, "Everyone, come and see! This is the mother of Liu Sanle, the newly-appointed scholar in our county!"
This old witch thought that her son was a great man because he passed the imperial examination and that no woman in our county was worthy of marrying her son.
Bah, you look so shabby, and you don't even take a piss to look at yourself, you really think you're a big shot!"
"I'm telling you, don't regret it. I won't forgive you when my son comes back!"
"You're still being stubborn now. Who's going to let whom off the hook? You really think my niece and her family are easy to bully, huh..."
