Chapter 449: Karma and retribution
Zhang Dalang's wife quit.
"My dear in-laws, you are so heartless to say that!" Zhang Dalang's wife cried, "At first, I thought your son was dead, and my daughter was willing to be a widow for him. Now that your son is back, your family has turned against him and driven him away. Is this human behavior?"
After hearing what Zhang Dalang's wife said, Mrs. Su's face immediately turned extremely ugly. Just as she was about to speak, Qian Yuemei pinched her waist and scolded her first, "Stop talking nonsense! It was your daughter who was so shameless and insisted on staying in our house! Don't act like it was our Su family who took advantage of you!"
Qian Yuemei raised her voice and said angrily, "If it weren't for our Su family, who would want your daughter with her reputation back then? You were so afraid that she would bring her up! And you still have the nerve to talk about what happened back then? Bah! Our Su family took her in, which was a huge favor! To be honest, your family is the one who did the worst!"
Zhang Dalang's wife was scolded by Qian Yuemei, and her face turned pale and blue.
Among the daughters-in-law of the Su family, the one she fears the most is Qian Yuemei.
"After all, our Mai Ya is the daughter-in-law of your Su family!" Zhang Dalang's wife said like a scoundrel, "She has been doing her duty in the Su family for the past few years, working hard without complaint. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. You can't just chase her away!"
When Zhang Dalang's wife said this, she looked at County Magistrate Zheng and knelt down with a plop.
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, it was you who decided that Mai Ya stayed with the Su family and became their daughter-in-law! You can't just ignore this matter. Please judge. The third son of the Su family has returned, but the Su family has turned against their promise and wants to drive Mai Ya away. Does this make sense?"
County Magistrate Zheng frowned. Why was he the one making the decision?
It was clearly the Su family who was kind and helped your Zhang family at that time.
County Magistrate Zheng was a little annoyed.
Moreover, he naturally knew that the Su family would never burn bridges after crossing them.
But this matter——
County Magistrate Zheng looked at Old Man Su.
"Brother Su, what is going on?" County Magistrate Zheng asked hesitantly.
In fact, Old Man Su didn’t quite know what was going on.
He never interfered in the affairs of his daughters-in-law; it was always Old Lady Su who made the decisions.
However, Old Man Su is not stupid.
That day on the mountain, Zhang Maiya's behavior was really abnormal.
Moreover, Mrs. Su sent Zhang Maiya away afterwards.
Old Man Su naturally had a vague guess about something.
At this time, after hearing the question from County Magistrate Zheng, he simply glanced at Zhang Maiya and said, "What's going on? Let the Zhang family's daughter tell us for herself."
As soon as Old Man Su finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Maiya.
Everyone wants to hear what Zhang Maiya has to say.
Zhang Maiya's lips moved, but he couldn't utter a word.
"She won't tell me, so let me tell you." Old Madam Su looked at Zhang Maiya and said, "Zhang, you told me that even though you were married, your heart was only with the third son. Moreover, you have always remained a virgin for the third son and are still a girl..."
As Mrs. Su spoke here, her voice became colder and colder.
"Then let me ask you, are you still a girl now?"
As soon as Mrs. Su finished speaking, the onlookers were in an uproar.
The mystery is finally solved!
Back then, it was because Zhang Mailya said something to Old Lady Su that made Old Lady Su change her mind and keep Zhang Mailya.
It turns out that this is the reason!
After people suddenly realized it, they suddenly discovered a new problem.
What does Mrs. Su’s last sentence mean?
The villagers looked at each other, conveying the same meaning with their eyes.
——Taste it! Taste it carefully! Taste it carefully!
"Could it be that Zhang Maiya is now..." someone said, pouting.
"I think that's what it means..." Someone clicked their tongue and nodded.
Zhang Maiya's body swayed and his face turned pale.
A flash of panic flashed across Zhang Dalang's wife's eyes, and she shouted, "What do you mean, dear? My malt is naturally..."
"Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, you have to think carefully before you speak. Find a midwife and we'll know for sure." said Old Mrs. Su.
Zhang Dalang's wife's face changed, and the next words got stuck in her throat.
Then, she rolled her eyes and stammered incoherently, "At the beginning, my Mai Ya, that, that was because she had Sanhu in her heart. She said that in order to stay in the Su family and become Sanhu's wife. That's right, it was to become Sanhu's wife..."
When Zhang Dalang's wife said this, her eyes lit up, as if she had finally found a reason.
Then, his eyes looked accurately at Su Lao San.
Naturally, as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Su Lao San.
After all, Su Laosan was dressed in brocade and was very handsome. Standing among a group of ordinary people in cloth clothes, he was very eye-catching.
"Sanhu, my Mai Ya has deep feelings for you, you must not let her down..."
"Failed her?" Su Laosan raised his lips, interrupting Zhang Dalang's wife and saying in an ambiguous tone, "Did I fail her, or did she fail me?"
After saying this, he looked at Zhang Maiya with a dark light in his eyes.
"Zhang Maiya, why don't you answer me yourself?" Su Laosan said in a cold voice.
Zhang Maiya finally slowly raised his head and looked at Su Laosan.
The man in the sunlight was handsome, with an upright figure. He stood there tall and slender, like an unattainable god, emitting a dazzling light.
Zhang Maiya was in a trance.
Is this man really the young boy who ran to give her two eggs with excitement in his arms?
It turns out that this man has become so out of reach!
"What? Don't you know how to answer?" A hint of sarcasm appeared on Su Laosan's face. "Back then, I was deceived by you. I thought we were in love. In my heart, I even regarded your father as my father-in-law. I tried my best to protect him in the mountains, but in the end, I was bitten on the leg by a tiger, and became disabled for life. At the same time, it also dragged the Su family into poverty..."
When Su Laosan said this, the light in his eyes became sharp and cold.
Then, he continued, "In the end, you turned around and married someone else, becoming someone else's bride with a happy face..."
"I..." Zhang Maiya opened his mouth.
"Don't deny it!" Su Lao San said sarcastically, "The day before you got married, I went to your house. I could tell whether the smile on your face was real or not."
Zhang Maiya, "..."
His face was filled with shame and he felt ashamed.
"So that's how my third brother's leg was injured!" Su Xiaoliu suddenly jumped up, pointing at Zhang Dalang's wife and cursing, "You Zhang family are simply inhuman! You are all ungrateful and ungrateful wolves! No wonder Zhang Dalang's leg was bitten off by a tiger, it's pure retribution!"
