Witty Wife, Better Life

Chapter 835: Chapter 825: Drive People Away Chapter 835: Chapter 825: Drive People Away After returning home, the conversation between Li Hongjun and his spouse and the Zheng Family women did not go very well, mainly because Zheng’s mother had become rather cunning and difficult to deal with, no longer maintaining at least a superficial appearance of being educated and reasonable.

When Zheng’s mother heard Shen Yunfang suggest that they find somewhere else to move out to and vacate the house for the old man Li to spend his old age in, she exploded. She began to curse and weep in the yard of the old house, cursing the Zheng father as Chen Shimei, cursing the Li Family as inhuman, cursing Li Hongqi for being incompetent—she cursed everything she could think of in turn. It seemed she still felt it wasn’t enough upheaval; she even called out Zheng Huilan, making her kneel on the ground with her to apologize to Shen Yunfang, this “second sister-in-law,” begging her to give their “orphaned and widowed” selves a way to survive.

Her wailing and making a scene managed to attract most of the people from Taoshu Village. Seeing the large crowd gathering around, Zheng’s mother acted as if she were seized by a fit of madness, not just sitting on the ground crying but also kneeling to kowtow before Li Hongjun and his wife. The words she said were not even worth listening to; needless to say, there wasn’t a single good word among them.

Li Hongjun frowned as he watched the mother and daughter of the Zheng Family’s antics. Finally, he could no longer endure it and was prepared to go over and pull them up. What was this all about? Whose home was this really? How could the Zheng Family women speak such shameless and hypocritical words?

Shen Yunfang stood by, pulling her husband back. This kind of crying farce was not suitable for men to get involved in; if he went over to pull them up, and Zheng’s mother took a fall pretending to be hurt here and there, it would be impossible to clear things up. Besides, her husband was in military uniform and it was not appropriate for him to interact with such unreasonable people—it was better for her to handle it.
