Chapter 518 Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy
Wang Xingwang was so angry when he saw Tian Caihong being so clueless that his face turned black. "Sit down first. Let's talk it over."
Tian Caihong saw Wang Xingwang being so mean to her, and tears streamed down her face in grievance, "You are so cruel, you just left me behind.
After you leave, how will I, a woman with a child, live?
Given Zhang Defu's ugly appearance, I wouldn't marry him if I had a choice.
I......"
"Okay, you're not at a loss.
Didn't you also plot to arrange for his daughter's marriage and have Qiu Ye marry him?"
It would have been fine if Wang Xingwang hadn't mentioned this, but after he did, Tian Caihong cried even harder.
Wang Xingwang saw that Tian Caihong was unmoved and couldn't help but glare at her, "Am I wrong?
You told me this yourself. Qiuye is living a good life now. He lives in a big house and has people to serve him.
With your calculating nature, if you hadn't chosen the marriage that Zhang Defu's eldest daughter had arranged long ago, you would have been in a relationship with Zhang Defu the moment I left."
After hearing what Wang Xingwang said, Tian Caihong felt even more aggrieved.
"Xingwang, you only know one side of the story!
As for me, I did have this intention at the beginning, and I let Qiu Ye snatch Zhang Juexia's marriage and marry him.
But unfortunately, we country folk are not as knowledgeable as those people in the town.
Qiu Ye was divorced the very night she got married."
Wang Xingwang didn't quite believe what Tian Caihong said. He asked in surprise, "Then how did Qiu Ye get to live such a good life now?"
"Later, she was divorced by that family and sent back home. I had no choice but to marry her to an old man as a concubine."
"Old man? I'm afraid you're not an ordinary person, right? Otherwise, with your unyielding nature, you wouldn't have been so hasty in marrying Qiu Ye off."
After hearing what Wang Xingwang said, Tian Caihong hiccupped in anger. She touched her chest, raised her tear-stained face, and looked at Wang Xingwang in confusion, "Am I really so unbearable in your heart?
Sometimes he is calculating, and sometimes he doesn't suffer any loss."
Wang Xingwang looked at Tian Caihong's wrinkled face and really had no interest in her at all. If he didn't have important matters to deal with, he wouldn't have the time to talk nonsense with her.
"Okay, you've been with me for so many years, I don't know what you're like.
You haven't told me yet, where did Qiu Ye marry?"
Tian Caihong wanted to act pitiful so that Wang Xingwang would look at her more, but he didn't listen at all. She reluctantly picked up the snack on the plate and put another piece into her mouth.
Wang Xingwang frowned and looked at the fat Tian Caihong and couldn't help but persuade her, "That's enough, shut up and drink some water before eating."
Tian Caihong looked at Wang Xingwang in disbelief, "You despise me, you actually despise me!
You damn it, I raised your son, you know how much suffering I went through, how much effort I put in, I......"
Tian Caihong felt that talking was not enough to vent her anger, so she stood up and started to tickle Wang Xingwang.
Wang Xingwang shouted, "That's enough, you still think you haven't made enough noise."
He secretly cursed Tian Caihong as a stupid woman, wondering how he could have been so blind to fall for such a thing.
He angrily pushed the plate of snacks toward Tian Caihong and said, "Here you go. Eat as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll buy you more."
"Then I want to eat lotus cakes, cloud cakes, and osmanthus cakes tomorrow."
"Wow, you know quite a lot."
Tian Caihong started to act coquettishly, "I just want to eat!"
Wang Xingwang got goosebumps all over his body. "Okay, I'll buy it for you tomorrow."
"Dongsheng wants to eat too!"
Wang Xingwang wanted to buy more for you to take back, but then an idea struck him. "How about you bring Dongsheng over, and the three of us can have a meal together?"
Tian Caihong was immediately displeased when she heard this. "Dongsheng, Zhang Defu is keeping a close eye on you. You can't miss a single day of class at school."
"It's just one day's class, it shouldn't be a big deal!"
"Xingwang, you know that I don't have the final say in some matters in the Zhang family.
Besides, Dongsheng is going to school, and it’s a good thing for children to learn to read and write!”
Wang Xingwang complimented Tian Caihong with a few nice words. Seeing the joy on Tian Caihong's face, he asked, "Which family did Qiu Ye marry into?"
"The home of Mr. Li, the wealthy man in Jinshui Town!"
"Mr. Li, Li Jinyi?"
"That's right! Qiu Ye became the eighth concubine of Mr. Li. You know that the Li family is rich but not prosperous. Mr. Li married several concubines but none of them gave birth to a boy.
Now Qiuye is pregnant, maybe she can have a boy, then the whole Li family will be under Qiuye's control."
Wang Xingwang looked Tian Caihong up and down, thinking that although this woman was not very smart, she was still clear-headed when it came to her children's future.
Thinking of this, he frowned and said, "Hong'er, I have something serious to tell you. You have to listen carefully."
"What's up?"
"It's about Zhang Defu's eldest daughter."
"What could happen to her?"
Wang Xingwang saw the disdain in Tian Caihong's eyes, but he was not discouraged. He moved a bench, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and sat in front of Tian Caihong.
He held Tian Caihong's hand and said solemnly, "Hong'er, you have to listen to this, even if it's for Dongsheng and me, okay?"
Tian Caihong was delighted to see Wang Xingwang take the initiative to shake her hand. "Xingwang, talk, I'm listening!"
"Find a way to establish a good relationship with Zhang Defu's eldest daughter."
"Why? Xingwang, you don't know, that damn girl Zhang Juexia has a bad temper and is stubborn. I don't want to get into trouble with her."
"Hong'er, didn't I just say it? For Dongsheng and I, think about it. If Dongsheng and I live well, your life will be better too."
Tian Caihong raised her head and frowned, "That's the truth, but why do you have to have a good relationship with Zhang Juexia?"
Wang Xingwang thought to himself that this stupid woman really didn't have a good brain, but she was clear-headed when she talked about Qiu Ye and Dong Sheng.
He suppressed his anger, pulled the stool forward, and gently stroked Tian Caihong's hand. He also felt strange about this action, so he pulled his hand away and gently patted Tian Caihong's knee.
"Hong'er, please listen to me and let me explain it to you slowly and in detail.
Zhang Defu's eldest daughter is called Zhang Juexia, right?"
"yes!"
"Isn't my son-in-law called Ye Beixiu? He passed the military examination this year."
"Yes! Xingwang, how do you know so much?"
"Hong'er, this is called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy. This way, we won't be passive when we do something.
Let's not talk about anything else for now. I want to ask you something. Do you know how many shops Zhang Defu's eldest daughter owns and how much money she has?"
“It’s just one in the town and one in the county town!
What's so strange about this? Compared to the wealthy Li family, it's still far behind."
