Chapter 010: Even the greasy stuff can be boiled to produce oil
Mrs. Li's eyes were a little evasive. Seeing her grandson Hu Bao still crying, the eldest daughter-in-law's brows were knitted together again. She looked upset and stepped forward, twisting her arm hard and saying, "Who are you trying to show your misery to? If you want something, go to your own parents' home and ask for it."
On the way home, Xia deliberately chose a secluded path where there were not many people coming and going. She didn't want to see the cold eyes of others, nor did she want to hear their gossip.
Looking at her depressed sister-in-law, Shen Heng didn't know what to say. Xie Min was also crying while holding the rabbit cage. Half of the little guy's face was swollen from being beaten. It must be painful.
Then he looked at Xie Jian who was walking in the middle, silent.
Chen Heng was not worried. After all, the history of Xie Jian was there. Xie Jian would definitely take part in the imperial examination. She just didn't know where the opportunity would come from.
"Chen Heng." Xia suddenly stopped and glared at her angrily, "You ruined our relationship, and you're still acting like a nobody? Are you so jealous of Ajian?"
"I don't."
"No? No one with any sense would write such a treasonous letter of severance. You clearly did it on purpose. Are you taking revenge on us?"
It's in the past now, and now that the clan leader is at his wit's end, he's taking his anger out on her again? Chen Heng glanced at Xie Jian, who looked like he had nothing to do with it.
Little Xie Min sniffed and choked up, "Mom, please don't talk about Auntie."
Little Xie Min was still considerate. Shen Heng said gently, "Sister-in-law, Xie Jian has already said that if my father really cared, he would have guaranteed him long ago. If I did this on purpose, wouldn't Xie Jian have cut off his own path by saying that at the clan leader's house? Why don't you say anything to him?"
"Sister-in-law, the clan wants to drive us out of the city because the clan leader wants our family's fertile land and house. If you go to ask him for help, it would be like delivering yourself to him." Xie Jian said.
"He is the clan leader after all. How dare he do that with so many eyes watching him?" Xia didn't believe that the clan leader would do such a thing.
"With so many eyes flattering him, of course he dares." Xie Jian said with a hint of sarcasm.
Seeing that Xia Shi didn't say anything else, it was obvious that she agreed with what Xie Jian said. Shen Heng wondered when Xia Shi would listen to her, which would mean she had a foothold in this family. As for letting Xie Jian listen, she didn't dare to think about it.
"Isn't this Xie Jian?" Two figures walked out from the alley on the left. Both were about twenty years old. The young man who spoke was larger in build, and his voice had the untuned and slippery sound of a gangster.
Chen Heng's expression changed when she saw the other young man. It was none other than the man who eloped with the original owner, Li Dou. At this moment, the man was looking at her with deep affection.
Li Dou was still thinking about how to save this relationship, but he didn't expect to see this stupid woman right away. He quickly pretended to be deeply in love and had no regrets. After all, women can be coaxed and everything will be fine.
Chen Heng felt a chill run down her spine. Li Dou was tall and thin, and his looks were decent, but his temperament was definitely vulgar, especially when his eyes drifted towards her, their affectionate expression so greasy it could be boiled out of oil. The original owner's vision was really not very good. No matter how bad Xie Jian was, he was still a decent man. Although he was aloof and gloomy, his appearance and temperament, even if not on the level of the male lead, were still the second male lead.
It’s terrible. Looking at his eyes, Li Dou definitely wants to save this relationship.
Seeing that Chen Heng was also looking at him with her eyes wide open, and she was not afraid to show it in front of the Xie family, Li Dou was delighted and raised his thick eyebrows at her.
