The man didn't say he wanted to have a fortune told; instead, he said he wanted to go to the shop to eat some noodles. Shouldn't we let him in?
But once they're in, they keep finding excuses to chat, and they even bring their daughter along!
Anyone with eyes can see what's going on; they don't even try to hide their intentions!
Not content with just eating the noodles, he lingered for a while. When he saw that there were fewer people, he went to Chen Chong's pancake stall, asked around, and finally ordered a pancake to eat!
I didn't want to order it, but the people behind me complained that if I wasn't going to buy it, I shouldn't block the way!
Having no other choice, he reluctantly had one, but he still harbored thoughts of deliberately pushing his daughter toward Chen Chong.
After Chen Chong spoke rudely to them, the other customers, who already had complaints, couldn't stand it and said some unpleasant things to the mother and daughter, which made them behave themselves.
What do you think this place is?
How shameless!
Don't they know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?
Are they blind? Can't they see such an obvious action?
Do whatever you want when you get home and close the door!
The mother and daughter were only thinking of themselves and probably didn't expect these people to be so ruthless. They lost face and left in a sorry state.
But afterwards, they harassed him even more frequently, and even resorted to tricks to make everyone think that they had successfully arranged the marriage, in order to ruin Chen Chong's reputation and force him to give in and marry their daughter!
They were really scheming, thinking that since this person was from out of town, had no connections, and no one behind them, they could bully them as much as they could.
In the dead of winter, with little food and clothing, the mother and daughter were struggling to make ends meet, placing all their hopes on their daughter and hoping for a better life!
If a daughter marries into the Chen family, she can manage the family finances. With money, she can secretly spend it on her own family. It's only right that she should take good care of her family, and it's time for them to enjoy their retirement!
That's why they're in such a hurry to marry Chen Chong!
Behind their backs, they talked about Chen Chong and their daughter, implying that they were getting married soon, and even suggesting that the two had done something intimate!
This matter eventually reached Su Nanxi's ears. She didn't say much and directly ordered the Qinglong Gang to take action. It took them so long to get back to her that they had failed in their duty!
The Green Dragon Gang is in a sorry state; they were also deceived!
They've been wronged!
They really thought it was true, like the rumors said, and that they were preparing for a happy occasion!
Who knew that old hag would be so shameless as to say such things!
They've got some nerve to mess with them!
It all depends on whether you can bear the consequences!
The mother and daughter were oblivious to the danger; in fact, they were quite pleased with themselves and secretly plotting even more outrageous things, hoping that once everything was in place, they would have no worries about the winter and spring!
Women value their chastity and purity very much, and most people would not ruin their purity. Such a scheme is very risky. If it succeeds, it's like a dream come true. If it fails, their lives may be ruined, and it will be very difficult to marry into a good family again. Therefore, no one would joke about such a thing.
But this mother and daughter took a different approach, doing the opposite of what others would do. They believed that the more unlikely something was to happen, the more influential it would be, and that public opinion would be most favorable to them in the end!
Because no one usually does this, it is more credible!
Furthermore, Chen Chong was not a vicious person, so his warnings and threats had no effect on the mother and daughter. On the contrary, they made them feel that this was a good thing, that they could control and bully them!
Another point is that Zhou Qionghua originally wanted Chen Chong to get married. Although she no longer urged him on the surface, her behavior revealed it. After hearing some unpleasant things, she not only did not stand on her son's side, but also subtly hinted to him that if the girl was nice, he could try dating her!
Chen Chong was almost driven to his death by his mother. How could she see anything good about him? What was so good about someone who was so shameless and had no sense of propriety?
She's obviously scheming, clueless, doesn't care about others at all, and even deliberately spreads rumors to ruin his reputation. What's the point of having a woman like that?
Is it too quiet at home? Should we turn things upside down and cause chaos every now and then?
Chen Chong began to distance himself from his mother; their thoughts were no longer on the same page, and they simply couldn't see eye to eye. There was no point in saying more!
His mother is just too idle!
A man who wants to marry every girl he sees must be utterly despicable. How could he possibly not be able to find a wife?
Zhou Qionghua didn't think she had done anything wrong. She had helped her two sons get married when the family was poor, practically penniless, but she still managed to marry them off. Now that she had several children and treated her husbands well, why was she being so picky?
As long as a person doesn't look stupid, is physically strong, has a big bottom, and is fertile, nothing else matters!
Why be picky then?
The mother and daughter were eloquent and seemed like capable and shrewd people. Wouldn't you need someone like that to help you in business?
If you marry a delicate girl who doesn't know anything and can't help you with anything, she's just pretty, what's the use!
What Zhou Qionghua didn't know was that her own thoughts were always changing. One moment she thought this was good, and the next she thought that was good, which made not only Chen Chong, but even Chen Datong didn't want to talk to her anymore.
Zhou Qionghua's intentional or unintentional attitude gave the shrewd mother and daughter an opportunity, making them even more unscrupulous.
The mother and daughter huddled in the house, shivering, stubbornly imagining the wonderful things that were about to happen. They chatted and laughed, temporarily forgetting their predicament.
There was nothing we could do; our family's circumstances couldn't be changed. Because we were always calculating and lazy, we didn't prepare enough firewood. In the dead of winter, we would hesitate for a long time before even starting a fire pit. In the end, we would rather shiver than start a fire.
There's only so much firewood; once it's burned, it's gone!
While I was having these wonderful thoughts, it started making noise outside.
The mother and daughter assumed it was just their neighbors arguing, something that had happened before, so they didn't take it to heart and continued to dream about the future. Just as they were thinking about how they would have money and would buy a lot of meat to stew, someone suddenly banged on the front door loudly.
"I know you're hiding at home! Don't think you can get away with it by hiding. Get out here right now! If you don't explain yourself clearly and give me an explanation today, this isn't over!"
A male voice came in, accompanied by loud banging on the door; clearly, the man was quite angry.
The mother and daughter were terrified, but they eventually came to their senses and returned to reality.
The daughter asked in alarm, "Mom! Isn't Da Tou supposed to be out of town? How come he suddenly appeared at our doorstep?"
The mother was also shocked and panicked, but she was calmer than her daughter. "I... I don't know either! If he comes back, he'll definitely ruin our plans. What should we do? Didn't you lie to him and say you were going to another city and wouldn't be back for a year or two?"
"Yeah! I don't know what's going on either! It's not a holiday, why did he come back? Did he make enough money to come back and marry me?"
"It doesn't look like it!"
