Chapter 461: The Zhang Family
Farmers are farmers. If you give them some face, they will climb up the ladder.
If it weren't for the fact that her son had insisted on marrying the cheap prostitute in the kiln.
She would not let her son marry a peasant girl.
After all, Jiangjia Village is far away, so it is easy to control her after marrying her. She is not like the girls in the town who would run back to their parents' home at the slightest disturbance.
It will be difficult to explain or fool people when the time comes.
Moreover, she heard from the matchmaker that the Chen family lived well and were not very poor. If she married their granddaughter, she would not only get a betrothal gift but also a dowry, at least two taels. For this reason, she told the matchmaker that she wanted to meet Chen Hongxia.
Her attitude this time was as bad as it was good the last time she went to Chen's house.
Considering that Chen Hongxia had not married into the family yet, she managed to hide her disdain for the Chen family.
She just pulled the corner of her mouth and continued speaking.
"Okay, you guys come in first. The alley outside is narrow, don't crowd in." Afraid that they might say something wrong and be laughed at by the neighbors living in the alley, Li quickly made way and motioned for them to come in.
"No, let's just say this. Your family clearly gave Zhang Jiabao a concubine and had a child, but you lied to us, saying that your son was honest and upright. You know what you are up to! Don't think that we farmers are easy to bully. If you make us angry, I will take your family to the government to file a lawsuit!
I want to see how the county magistrate punishes you! Everyone, take a look, don't marry your daughters to this family. You probably don't know that Zhang Jiabao brought back a concubine of very low birth, even shameful. What a despicable thing, and he even wanted to trick my granddaughter into marrying him? Dream on!"
How could Old Chen tolerate others bullying his granddaughter like this?
Instead of coming in, he stood at the door and shouted loudly.
Almost everyone living in this alley heard it.
Li secretly thought that this was not good.
She wanted to pull Old Chen in, but Chen Tianfeng stood in front of her and pushed her away.
"You dare to touch my grandpa and see! You shameless old man, do you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it?" Chen Tianfeng also cursed.
"What are you doing!" Zhang Jiabao and his biological father Zhang Wei came out when they heard the noise.
Chen Hongxia had sharp eyes and saw a piece of peach pink skirt exposed at the door of Zhang's main hall.
You can tell it's a woman at first glance.
But the Zhang family had no maids at all.
There were no servants.
So, this person should be the concubine who was hiding in the main room and eavesdropping.
"How dare you ask us what we do? You beasts, your family doesn't look very rich, not even as wealthy as the rich and powerful, yet you learned to take concubines first. If you want to take concubines, then take concubines. Tell the truth, you are deceiving our family.
It's because we found out. Otherwise, the engagement would be tomorrow. If we cancel it, what will happen to my sister's reputation? You are such a person, wanting to harm other people's girls. Don't you feel ashamed? Are you a master?"
As soon as Chen Tianfeng saw Zhang Jiabao, he wanted to punch him, but Chen Hongxia stopped him: "Brother, don't hit me, otherwise you will be wrong even if you are right."
Chen Hongxia's voice was very soft and only Chen Tianfeng heard it.
After saying that, she rubbed her eyes and burst into tears.
"I am so miserable. How could such a disaster happen to a family like ours? God help me. Otherwise, how can I have a good life after marrying into the Zhang family? I heard clearly yesterday that Zhang Jiabao said that after marrying me, he would give this bastard to my name and tell others that I was the one who gave birth to him. He also said that I outstripped his parents.
He made his concubine his legal wife. I heard everything. If you don't believe me, you can go in and see if he has a beautiful girl in his house. I beg you all to tell her if she cheats on you in the future. This is a good deed for you!"
Chen Hongxia cried miserably.
Seeing the bustling crowd in the alley, I felt uncomfortable and panicked in my heart.
Every family has a daughter.
They put themselves in the Chen family's shoes.
If their daughters were deceived like this, they would even want to kill them.
Although the daughter is not as good as the son, she was also raised in a loving way.
How can I tolerate being bullied like this?
"You are talking nonsense. What concubine? There is no such thing as a concubine. She is my niece from my mother's side. She is just here for fun. What concubine or not? If you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth apart."
Li became anxious.
She quickly thought of an excuse and shouted.
As if she wanted to explain, Chen Hongxia refused to give her the opportunity.
"Really? Your niece is really shameless. She didn't resist when Zhang Jiabao hugged her. She got pregnant before they got married. Since she's your niece, why don't you marry her? Instead, you ask a matchmaker to come to my house and ask me to look at her. Do you dare to confront me in court?"
Chen Hongxia was not afraid at all, she spoke in an orderly manner.
Even threatening.
How could Li dare to do that? For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
She turned her head and looked at Zhang Jiabao and Zhang Wei.
But neither the father nor the son opened their mouths to help her.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
"Alright, I know you feel wronged, but let's not argue with them. It doesn't matter if we don't get married. At most, I'll support you for the rest of your life. I tell you, if I hear you say anything bad about our family, you'll have to wait for me!"
This time, the Chen family came not only to reject the marriage proposal, but also wanted to make a bigger fuss about it so that the Zhang family's neighbors could see their true colors.
To prevent the Zhang family from cheating people again in the future.
In this case, if someone has a conscience, they might tell the woman.
Chen Tianfeng pulled his sister's sleeve to stop her.
A girl's family reputation is the most important thing. If she is too slutty and word gets out, how will she get married in the future?
After Chen Tianfeng finished scolding, he took his family away.
As a result, Wang Ruer, who wanted to vent her anger and curse, couldn't even say a word.
She was so frustrated.
The Zhang family didn't even have a chance to fight back.
All the way to the alley, every household gathered at the door, watching the Chen family leave.
"Bang——" Li slammed the door shut.
The whole person was furious.
"It's all your fault. You had to bring trouble back. I'm afraid all the neighbors have heard about it. How am I going to live from now on? I won't live anymore!"
She ran back to the house crying, thinking her son would come to comfort her.
However, even though she had cried all her tears, no one paid any attention to her.
When I went to the main room again, I found that the three of them had eaten all the food.
Li Shiton felt sad.
Yan'er, who returned to the house with Zhang Jiabao, smiled charmingly.
For her, the fact that Zhang Jiabao couldn't get married was more beneficial than harmful.
As long as she gives birth to the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, and then some persuasion is given, she will definitely be promoted to the legal wife in the future.
At first, the main reason why she chose Zhang Jiabao was because he was the only son.
So, she hoped that Zhang Jiabao could not get married.
So much so that everyone ate an extra bowl of rice at noon. Li thought that she had only cooked enough for four people.
Therefore, she ate from Li's bowl.
