Zhao Simei paused for a moment, then burst into a loud laugh, both arrogant and furious. "Go ahead and try. There have been rumors in the village that I'm pregnant with an illegitimate child, but so what? Have I ever admitted it? Who can prove the child isn't yours? Do you think you have Gu Wanwan's skills to do a paternity test?"
"Your reputation, Zhou Tianfu, is utterly ruined in Xiangyang Village. Who would believe your lies now? Zhou Tianfu, give up. You're going to be tied to me for life. I will never agree to a divorce."
Zhou Tianfu was so angry he almost spat blood. Zhao Simei was like a stubborn mule, relentlessly pestering him. "You..."
Just then, Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen happened to 'pass by' and stopped to watch the couple argue. They weren't going to try to break up the fight; they were just there to watch the show and kick someone when they're down.
Fu Jingchen said meaningfully, "Wife, the manager of the state-run restaurant is quite sensible. He decisively saved our big source of goods. Originally, Zhou Tianfu still had a chance to stay at the restaurant. After all, he sacrificed his looks to bring a lot of business to the restaurant, and the manager turned a blind eye. But he was a womanizer and troublemaker. Of all people to slander, he had to slander my Wanwan."
Zhou Tianfu wasn't stupid; he quickly realized it was the crazy couple who were behind it. "Gu Wanwan, you're the one who made me lose my job, aren't you? You're all big shots now, why do you need to haggle with a nobody like me, a sent-down youth? Money is just a number to you, but it's life to me! Do you think I'll starve without money? You personally cut off a family's income, don't you have any conscience? How could you do that..."
Sister Wan and Brother Chen replied instantly, “It doesn’t hurt. It’s immoral, heartless, not a saint, and can’t hold us hostage.”
"You brought this on yourself, so you can't blame anyone else."
Zhao Simei tugged at Zhou Tianfu's ear. Ever since the news broke that Zhou Tianfu had been cheating on her, she had become increasingly impatient with her husband, no longer speaking softly to him as before. "I've told you so many times to keep your distance from them, but you always ignore me!"
After saying that, she looked angrily at Gu Wanwan, "Gu Wanwan, I have no grudge against you, why are you so ruthless? I've already been kicked out of the Zhao family, and I'm like a lost soul with nothing left. Why won't you let me go? Now even Gu Yarou's pickle shop doesn't want me anymore. How am I supposed to live?"
Fu Jingchen clicked his tongue. "Are you sure you have no grudge? You even tried to seduce me, a married man, and followed Gu Yarou and the others to ruin my boyfriend's reputation. Do you want me to keep arguing with you?"
Gu Wanwan narrowed her eyes, giving her a sharp look. "So you're trying to cling to me and get me to arrange a formal job for you? Do you deserve it, Zhao Simei?"
Zhao Simei shrank back, knowing she was in the wrong, "But you don't need to have the manager fire Zhou Tianfu, you can just transfer him back to me..."
Gu Wanwan glanced at her and said coolly, "Even if you hadn't transferred, do you think the restaurant would still need a temporary worker like you? The restaurant manager has been unhappy with you for a long time and has wanted to fire you for a long time. He tolerated you before because your adoptive father was the captain, but now that he knows you are ungrateful and not his adoptive parents' biological daughter, why would he keep you around?"
"The state-run restaurant doesn't want to get a bad reputation because of you two!"
"Besides, I'm doing this out of kindness for your own good. If Zhou Tianfu doesn't go to work, he won't be able to seduce the rich girls in the city and then dump you. Zhou Tianfu earns money and spends it all himself. Does he give you a single penny? No, he doesn't. He even expects you to subsidize him. All the money you subsidize him is spent by Zhou Tianfu on other women!"
"Letting him go to work is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. You wouldn't even know if he ran away one day. This kind of person needs to be put to work and put to the test. He's so weak that he'll fall over in the wind. How will he support his family and take care of you in the future?"
Zhao Simei thought this made sense and knew she absolutely couldn't let Zhou Tianfu go to work in the city anymore.
Zhou Tianfu knew that the crazy couple would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect them to be even more foul-mouthed than him. "You're talking nonsense, I didn't..."
Fu Jingchen sneered, "Zhao Simei, use your brain. Besides the city, there are plenty of educated youth and village girls in the village who have had affairs with him. You'd better hide the marriage certificate well so he can't tamper with it."
