Although Huang Wanzhen wanted to join, she immediately shook her head in disappointment when she thought about learning martial arts. "You guys go, I have to learn martial arts."
"Ah? You're learning martial arts? No wonder you're growing so fast!" He Lanshan's dark eyes looked intently at Huang Wanzhen, "I want to learn too. Take me with you."
He Lanshan is the tallest in the class and she really wants to grow taller. She has tried eating bread and drinking milk like Westerners, but it didn't work. When she saw Huang Wanzhen learning martial arts, she immediately wanted to try it.
"Okay, come to Jixiangtang on Sunday and I'll take you there. Don't look at Master Chen because she's a woman, but she's really skilled."
Although everyone was vying to ask what real skills Master Chen had, Huang Wanzhen had not finished praising him when the bell rang and everyone sat up straight to welcome the teacher.
Unfortunately, before Sunday, Huang Wanzhen's whereabouts were discovered by Zheng Yumei.
In the past, perhaps Huang Wanzhen could have kept it a secret for a while longer, but Zheng Yumei, who discovered that Huang Wanzhen had so many precious materials, never believed that those materials were Huang Wanzhen's dowry.
Zheng Yumei had always looked down on the Huang family, believing them to be impoverished and far inferior to the Zhengs. When she got married, her parents hadn't given her a dowry of gongsatin or xiangyun yarn. How could a daughter of an impoverished family afford such fine fabrics? There had to be something fishy going on.
Zheng Yumei not only kept an eye on her herself, but also sent her maid Shi Liu to watch. Within a week, Shi Liu discovered that Huang Wanzhen had left the Zheng Mansion through the back door at around five o'clock.
After observing for several days, Shi Liu found that Huang Wanzhen was doing this every day, so he immediately reported it to Zheng Yumei.
"Great! This Huang is so bold. I don't believe that she went out so early to attend classes at the Shen family!" Zheng Yumei's ten fingers with red nails were tearing and rubbing the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, wishing she could tear it into pieces!
"What is the young lady going to do?" Shi Liu looked at Zheng Yumei from behind and asked cautiously.
"Hmph! She is so beautiful and always wears new clothes. She must not be doing anything good. She must have found a lover outside!" Zheng Yumei looked very proud, as if she had caught Huang Wanzhen's handle.
Shi Liu nodded her head in agreement, "Right, right, that's right. Otherwise, how could she be so rich? She must have earned that money by selling her body."
"I heard that many young ladies and concubines, when they are short of money, become prostitutes and earn a lot of money at a time."
"Really? Really? No wonder he can afford such expensive material! My brother is so unlucky to marry such a little whore. No, I have to tell him." Zheng Yumei was extremely excited, her heart was pounding in her chest, she couldn't hold it back, she had to do something to calm her inner excitement.
Soon, Zheng Yumei went to the front hall and called the teaching office of Zheng Yusang’s university directly, lying that something happened at home and called Zheng Yusang back.
Zheng Yusang hurried in, only to see his sister leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks in the yard.
"Sister, what happened? Where are mom and dad?"
Zheng Yumei walked forward mysteriously, grabbed Zheng Yusang, and led her into the house. After entering the house, she even closed the door, leaving Zheng Yusang somewhat bewildered. "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Shh——" Turning around, Zheng Yumei put her finger against her lips, signaling him to speak in a low voice.
"Brother Sang, I know where your wife got those expensive fabrics." Zheng Yumei's words confused Zheng Yusang. "Then why did you call me back? It's none of my business."
Zheng Yumei glared at Zheng Yusang with dismay, "You, you only grow taller but not smarter. The money your wife used to buy the materials was stolen from a man!"
Zheng Yumei's words were like a bomb that exploded on Zheng Yusang's head. "Impossible! Even though I don't like her, you can't make up stories about her like that! She's also a girl from a respectable family."
Zheng Yumei glanced at Zheng Yusang with disdain, then approached him with an air of mastery, "What do you know?! Women, once married, are free to do whatever they want. Since they've already lost their virginity, as long as they keep it a secret from their husband's family, they can have affairs outside without their husband knowing."
Zheng Yusang looked at Zheng Yumei with disgust. "Hmph! I think you've got too much free time. You hang out with gossips all day and have become one yourself! Besides gossiping about others and hurting yourself, what's the point?!"
Zheng Yusang pulled Zheng Yumei away and strode towards the door.
Zheng Yumei turned around and called out to him anxiously, "Brother Sang, stop! I've discovered your wife's secret. If you don't listen, I'll tell Mom!"
Zheng Yusang paused and turned back reluctantly, "If you have something to say, tell me quickly! I'm still busy at school!"
With the help of the school, Zheng Yusang, Zhu Tingzhou and other classmates contacted several American schools. One of them has already approved them and they will be able to enroll after New Year's Day. China is thousands of miles away from the United States, so they have to take a boat there early. They are currently completing the final arrangements with the school.
"Your wife goes out from the back door every day at around five o'clock. If she's not trying to steal a man, what is she doing? Think about it, those expensive materials and the new clothes she's wearing, all of these have already told you that there's something wrong with your wife!" Zheng Yumei quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Yusang's arm, and shook it vigorously twice.
"Don't even mention your wife. She comes from a poor family and is really cunning. It hasn't been long since we got married, but she's already bewitched you."
"I'm your biological sister, how can I harm you? Listen to me, you can't judge a woman by her face. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you!"
"The money she used to buy the fabric must have come from illicit sources. Think about it, my family is better off than the Huang family, and my husband's family is not weak either. I can't even wear such fine fabrics, so how can she? It's all because of her face and the fur she wears!"
The more Zheng Yumei spoke, the more she felt she was right. In the end, she clenched her gums, as if she had witnessed Huang Wanzhen cheating on her husband with her own eyes.
Zheng Yusang's originally firm heart wavered with Zheng Yumei's words. Yes! The Huang family is far inferior to her own family. How could they possibly give Huang Wanzhen such precious materials as a gift? If it wasn't a gift, how did it come from?
How could a woman with bound feet be given a legitimate job to earn money? Then, a beautiful woman with bound feet, the fastest way to make money...
Zheng Yusang simply couldn't bear to think about it. He held his head in disbelief and squatted down. Oh my God! He actually shared a room with such a dirty person, "Ugh——"
Zheng Yusang began to retch uncontrollably.
Zheng Yumei patted his back distressedly, "My poor Sang Ge! You finally figured it out. What do you want to do? I support you."
