Chapter 69: I Didn’t Expect That to Happen
Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law never expected Song Lao Si to follow her and expose her shortcomings in public.
These people turned their heads and started scolding her. This time, she really cried, feeling wronged.
Tang Feng also heard the news and pulled Song Jianjun along with her.
Upon seeing them, Song Lao Si immediately complained to his mother.
Tang Feng’s face darkened, and she pointed at Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law, scolding, “You wicked thing, just because my Yaobao wouldn’t let your younger brother into the breeding farm, you come out here and spread rumors. Do you think the villagers are fools and will fall for your tricks?”
“Still saying that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, this old lady isn’t dead yet, pooh!” If it weren’t for so many people watching, she would have given this homewrecker a few slaps.
In the past, she definitely would have, but now, for the sake of her Yaobao’s reputation, she held back.
Then she turned to Song Jianjun with a stern face and ordered, “Send her back to her family. Our Old Song family can’t afford such a daughter-in-law.”
“I understand.” Song Jianjun said sullenly.
Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law heard that her mother-in-law wanted to send her back to her family again, and she hadn’t accomplished her task yet, so she sat on the ground and cried loudly, “You’re just bullying an outsider.”
Song Jianjun’s expression wasn’t good either. He didn’t expect his wife to do such a thing.
He couldn’t understand, the family’s life was getting better and better, why couldn’t his wife just live peacefully?
This time, he acted like a man for once and pulled Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law up from the ground with force.
Rarely, with a bit of seriousness, he said to her, “What kind of life did you have in your family before, and what kind of life do you have now? Think about it carefully. Do you have to make a mess until this family falls apart before you’re happy?”
Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law was pulled up. It was the first time she had seen her husband speak to her with such a stern expression, and she was a little flustered at first.
But she was used to being bossy in front of Song Jianjun and was more accustomed to him being under her thumb.
She raised her hand and hit Song Jianjun’s chest a few times, crying and hitting him, “You heartless man, if I had known earlier, even if you begged me, I wouldn’t have married you.”
“If you keep siding with your mother and your sister to bully me, I’ll take our son and daughter and never come back.” She then glared at Song Jianjun threateningly.
Tang Feng sneered, “Take them and get lost. It’s not like our Old Song family can’t live without you.”
“You always want to use your son to threaten me. This old lady has more than just one son. Do you think I’ll be lacking grandchildren?”
“You think giving birth to a son makes you so special? Even if this old lady has no grandchildren in the future, I don’t need the ones you gave birth to.”
“If you want to take them, take them. Our Old Song family won’t stop you.”
She just couldn’t stand this fool thinking that giving birth to a son made her some kind of hero.
She gave birth to four sons for the Old Song family, and she hasn’t even put on airs yet.
Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law saw that her mother-in-law was still trying to chase her away and seemed to really not care about her grandson. She suddenly felt a little flustered again.
She tugged at Song Jianjun, “You tell me, do you still want the three of us or not?”
Song Jianjun looked at Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law deeply, “How did you become like this? You weren’t like this before. Or were you just pretending all along?”
“Besides, it wasn’t me who begged you to marry me back then.”
“Your family was forcing you to marry a fool, and you jumped into the river. I happened to pass by and saved you. You kept coming to me saying you wanted to repay me, and finally, you asked me to marry you. That’s when I asked my mother to propose to your family.”
“Your family didn’t agree at first. In the end, our family offered fifty yuan more than the fool’s family for the bride price, and only then did they agree to let you marry into our family.”
“Have you forgotten all that after a few years of peaceful life?”
He had never told anyone about this. After all, being actively pursued and pestered by her, he gradually started to like her.
But now, seeing her unrepentant and instead blaming him, blaming his mother, and blaming his little sister, really disappointed him.
◈◈◈
Hearing Song Jianjun’s words, Luo Qiuju looked at him in disbelief. Her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and suddenly her mind went blank, not knowing what to say.
She didn’t expect him to reveal what happened back then in public. Where could she put her face now?
The villagers also didn’t expect this to happen. They all looked at Luo Qiuju with a bit of contempt.
Everyone knew that Tang Feng originally wanted Song Jianjun to marry a girl from the village. Later, for some reason, Song Jianjun insisted on marrying Luo Qiuju.
In the end, he even paid a bride price of two hundred yuan, which was definitely considered a high price among the villages.
Everyone thought that Song Jianjun had taken a fancy to Luo Qiuju and insisted on marrying her. Who would have thought it would be like this?
“You were the one who pestered Jianjun to marry you, and you have the nerve to say that if you had known earlier, even if we begged you, you wouldn’t have married him. Then go marry the fool, why did you pester my son?”
“How can you be so shameless? You ingrate.” Tang Feng was really angry.
The villagers also pointed and gossiped, “That’s right, Luo Qiuju, you’re in the wrong here. You have a good life, but you insist on making trouble. You’re too much.”
“Your family was going to force you to marry a fool, and you still care about them so much. Is there something wrong with your brain?” Many people couldn’t understand this point.
Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law cried even harder. Since marrying Song Jianjun, she had never suffered such grievances.
She yelled at the gossiping villagers, “What’s it to you?”
These people were also bullies who picked on the weak. Why didn’t they dare to say anything about that village bully Song Chu just now? But now they were ganging up on her. What a bunch of nobodies.
Tang Feng slapped Song Jianjun, “Jianjun, send this woman away. Don’t embarrass us here.”
Song Jianjun nodded, forcibly pulled Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law away, and then walked towards the village entrance.
Tang Feng felt embarrassed and didn’t stay outside any longer. She called Song Lao Si and went back home.
This incident quickly spread throughout the village. But this time, everyone was united in scolding Luo Qiuju. It was the Song family’s misfortune to have married such a homewrecker.
Song Chu got up when she heard her family coming back.
Seeing her mother’s sullen face, she guessed what had happened. She walked over and patted her back, “Mom, don’t be angry. That kind of person isn’t worth it.”
Tang Feng looked at her beautiful and considerate daughter, and her anger subsided a lot, “Yes, that good-for-nothing woman won’t come back until she reflects on her mistakes.”
Song Chu asked Song Lao Si, “What happened just now?”
Song Lao Si recounted everything that had happened, from Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law crying and slandering her to everything that followed.
Song Chu frowned. She didn’t expect there to be such a story behind her eldest brother’s marriage to his wife.
She felt even more speechless towards Song’s Eldest Sister-in-Law. She was almost sold to a fool as a wife, but after a little brainwashing from her family, she started acting up again. Truly, those who are pitiful must have something hateful about them.
After living a good life for a while, she was sweet-talked by her family and started to support them again. Since that’s the case, then she can support them for the rest of her life.
She said to Song Lao Si, “Go to Eldest Maternal Uncle’s house and borrow a bicycle to chase after them. Otherwise, I’m afraid that Big Brother will be bullied by the Luo family.”
Song Lao Si also felt that his eldest brother was too honest and wouldn’t be a match for those unreasonable people from the Luo family. “Okay, I’ll go now.”
