Chapter 303: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 303: Hu Shi's Calculations, Mo's Family's Plea (5)
On the third day, business in the shop was similar to the previous two days, with items like eggs and miscellaneous grains selling better than before.
Whether it was due to Li Zhong scaring them off or for some other reason, the Zhang family didn't cause any more trouble. However, knowing their temperament, Mo Yan didn't let her guard down.
At this moment, under Mo Yan's scheme, the Zhang family was putting on quite a show!
"You, Zhang Ming, are too greedy. You're already married but still looking at other women. If you dare bring that woman back, I'll take Bao'er and leave immediately. Let you spend your days with a hen that doesn't lay eggs!"
Yao Taohua gritted her teeth, her long nails digging into Zhang Ming's arm fiercely.
Zhang Ming shrank back, grimacing in pain, "My wife, you've misunderstood. That woman has already been divorced by me. How could I bring her back? Someone must be trying to sow discord between us. Don't be deceived!"
"Bullshit!" Seeing him still lying, Yao Taohua pinched harder. "I've already asked around. You went to look for her the day before yesterday and yesterday. Your mother even rolled on the ground and made a scene. Do you think everyone is blind?!"
Thinking that this useless man actually wanted to bring back that woman, Yao Taohua wished she could strangle him. If that woman really came back, wouldn't she become the concubine? Even if she looked down on this man, she would never allow anyone to compete with her.
"Ah—wife, please, please let go, it hurts so much!" Zhang Ming screamed in agony, clearly in extreme pain.
Yao Taohua said fiercely, "Hurt? You know what pain is? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll strangle you!"
As she finished speaking, Zhang Ming screamed again, mixed with incessant pleas for mercy.
In the bedroom, Hu Shi, who was lying with a sprained foot, listened to her son's continuous screams, feeling heartbroken and hating Yao Taohua's brutality. But with her foot unable to touch the ground, she had no way to rescue her suffering son.
Yao Taohua was aggressive by nature, and having given birth to Zhang Ming's only son, she was extremely arrogant. When Zhang Fugui was around, he could suppress her, but now that he was in prison, filial piety couldn't restrain her.
"This is calamity, such calamity!" Hu Shi pounded the bed, tears streaming down her face. "I shouldn't have agreed to the divorce! I shouldn't have agreed!"
At this moment, she regretted allowing Yao Taohua into their home. She should have let her give birth to the child, then give her some money and send her away, entrusting the child to the capable and dependable Li Xiu. Li Xiu was much easier to control than Yao Taohua. With a child, how could she escape her control?
Right, the child! Hu Shi's eyes lit up. Li Xiu couldn't bear children, and Li Zhong, that old man, wouldn't let her spend the rest of her life alone. If she drove away Yao Taohua and entrusted the child to Li Xiu, that old man would be grateful. Would he still object? In the end, wouldn't the shop return to their Zhang family's hands?
Thinking of this, Hu Shi's mind became active, her eyes rolling around, listening to Yao Taohua's arrogant scolding with disgust. She felt no guilt about driving Yao Taohua away and separating her from her son.
Yao Taohua, who was still fighting with Zhang Ming in the yard, was unaware of Hu Shi's sinister intentions. She grabbed Zhang Ming's ear and scolded, "If you dare to go look for that woman again, I'll ruin you, and you won't even be able to be a man!"
"W-wife, I really, really didn't..." Zhang Ming trembled in pain, regretting even more deeply for marrying such a shrew. His Xiu'er was so gentle and obedient, why did he divorce her!
