Chapter 178 Scandal in front of Huang's Grocery Store
Chapter 178 Scandal in front of Huang's Grocery Store
"Where is Sister Mei'er?" Li Yu'er asked. She slept late almost every day, and when she woke up in the morning, Li Mei'er was gone.
"She said she was going to town with her aunt to buy some things for her daughter." Li Erlang said indifferently.
In front of Huang's Grocery Store in Xinpu Town, Zhao and Li Meir were watching the fun in the crowd.
An old woman pointed at a young woman's nose and cursed: "You damned ass-selling thing, I treated you well as your aunt, but you actually committed adultery and brought a bastard to marry someone else? Today I will scratch your face, you vixen, and then sell you to a brothel, so that you can be a bride every day."
As she spoke, Mrs. Zhang raised the broom and hit the woman. Before the broom in Mrs. Zhang's hand fell, it was grabbed by a tall and burly man.
"Old hag, how dare you!"
Mrs. Zhang had been competitive all her life and had suppressed Li Juan for many years. She was used to being flattered and could not stand any injustice. She immediately started crying and making a scene: "Son, look, your mother is almost beaten to death."
Huang Dafa rushed over with a shovel, but was kicked down by the man.
Most of the people around were just watching, and no one was willing to help. Instead, they were talking about it, which shows that the Huang family is not welcome.
"This old hag chased away her legitimate daughter-in-law and sold her own granddaughter. She deserves to be beaten now."
Huang Dafa got up from the ground, his chest aching terribly. He glared and said harshly, "Just wait for me."
Soon, the elders and clansmen of the Huang family were called over reluctantly by Huang Dafa.
"Uncle, look, we are being bullied and shit on. You can't just ignore it."
The Huang family member is over fifty years old, but he is still strong and healthy. Surrounded by the Huang family members, he walked forward slowly.
"What's your name? What brings you to Huang's Grocery Store?"
Seeing that the Huang family was so powerful, the man did not dare to continue to act arrogantly and said, "I am Zhu Yourong, a pig butcher in Jiafeng County. I am Li Meifen's uncle. She got pregnant with my child and ran away, and even married someone else. Do you think I should bring her back?"
The onlookers were immediately outraged. Marrying someone else while pregnant was simply immoral.
Patriarch Huang's face immediately turned pale. It is not a good reputation to steal someone else's wife. This woman Zhang and Huang Dafa will bring discredit to the clan.
He angrily questioned Huang Dafa: "Dafa, is what he said true?"
Huang Dafa looked at Lai Meifen, his widowed cousin. They had an affair before they got married, and the child was born less than seven months after they got married. If you calculate the time, the child was a month early. He had suspected it, but Lai Meifen said that she caught a cold while washing clothes for him in winter, and gave birth prematurely.
Li Meifen quickly covered her face and cried, "There is absolutely no such thing. This child is mine and Fa Ge's, not their old Zhu family's. He is slandering my reputation. Don't be fooled by him. When my husband was alive, he had evil intentions towards me, but I swore to die and refused to obey. I finally escaped."
It's really hard not to suspect that it's slander because there's no evidence at all.
Patriarch Huang questioned Zhu Yourong: "You said this child is yours, do you have any evidence?"
Zhu Yourong stared with a pair of bull eyes and said: "The doctor in our town diagnosed her pulse, but who knew that this bitch disappeared not long after. I didn't expect that she ran off with someone."
Zhu Yourong was a butcher. He beat his first wife to death when he was drunk. After that, no one was willing to marry him, so he remained a bachelor.
After his younger brother died, he set his sights on his brother's wife and showed her affection for her in every way he could, buying her rouge and powder and helping her fetch water and chop firewood. Over time, the two of them became inseparable.
Li Meifen originally thought that Zhu Yourong must have money from slaughtering pigs, and with her beauty and means, she would definitely be able to cheat the money and then escape.
As a result, not long after the two were together, Li Meifen discovered that Zhu Yourong was a person who would go crazy after drinking cat urine. After being beaten once, she began to think about running away.
As a result, she was found to have morning sickness by Zhu Yourong, who dragged her to see a doctor. When he learned that she was pregnant, he kept her under close observation.
Zhu Yourong had been fine for a few days when he found out that Li Meifen was pregnant. One time, Zhu Yourong got drunk at a party with his friends and beat Li Meifen again. Fortunately, he only hit her in the face and the child was fine.
Afterwards, Zhu Yourong knelt down to admit his mistake, slapped himself and vowed not to drink or hit anyone again, just like he did before. Lai Meifen had given up long ago and pretended to forgive him.
Lai Meifen secretly stole money from the family, put knockout drugs in the food, and then took the opportunity to escape. She had nowhere to go, so she thought of the bootlicker Huang Dafa.
Sure enough, Huang Dafa was just as obedient to her as he was back then, and the two of them made love in the inn that night.
After learning that the impoverished Huang Dafa had opened a grocery store, Li Meifen made up her mind to squeeze out the honest Li Juan and take the position herself. In this way, she would not only have a place to stay, but also become the proprietress of the grocery store, and her child would also have a cheap father, killing three birds with one stone.
Seeing Zhu Yourong's confident words, Patriarch Huang believed it 70% of the time, but for the sake of the Huang family's reputation, he could only defend himself: "This doctor's diagnosis is not always accurate. Vomiting does not necessarily mean pregnancy. Maybe it's just a stomach upset."
Zhu Yourong was also a tough guy, and he immediately shouted angrily: "We can go to the clinic to confront them. They are a big clinic, and they have pulse records for all patients they see."
Now, everyone believed it about 80%.
Li Meifen cried miserably, "My cousin, I was forced to do this. He forced me. My husband just died. I am weak and powerless. How can I defeat him who is so strong? If, if I don't agree, he will chop me up."
Huang Dafa immediately softened his heart.
He angrily scolded Zhu Yourong: "You are a beast in human form. You dare to use force? Do you believe that I will report you to the government for adultery?"
Zhu Yourong was so angry that he was about to die. He was the one who took the initiative first, but it was useless for him to force it. The bitch was clearly willing. Afterwards, she even praised him for being strong and healthy, saying that he was much better than that damned guy.
Now she is biting back and putting the blame on him, but his main target of this trip is not Li Meifen, but the child.
"No matter what, the child is mine, I want to take him away!"
Huang Dafa didn't want a child at all at this time. Who would be willing to raise a bastard for someone else?
How much I loved him in the past, how much I hate him now.
But Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand such a cuckold. "We, the Huang family, have raised this child for so long. You want to take him away just by saying something? No way."
No matter how powerful Zhu Yourong is, he knows that he will suffer if he makes trouble on someone else's territory.
Although he really wanted to capture Lai Meifen and beat her up, he knew in his heart that he would not be able to take her away unless Huang Dafa gave up on Lai Meifen.
He is almost forty years old and still has no child. Children are the most important thing.
"Why are you holding my child hostage? Tell me what I want in exchange for your release."
Mrs. Zhang's cloudy old eyes rolled around. The people had been lost long ago, and money was the most important thing.
"Fifty taels, or you can't take that little bastard away with you."
Mrs. Zhang no longer called her grandson "darling" or "little ancestor given by heaven" and started calling him "little bastard" instead.
Seeing that Huang Dafa's family was a hopeless case, Patriarch Huang led his clansmen away, intending to use this as an excuse to split up this troublemaker family later.
Seeing that the Huang family members had left, Zhu Yourong was no longer so scared. He smiled sinisterly and said, "My money was all taken away by Li Meifen. It was at least fifty taels. Why didn't she give it to you?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at Li Meifen with resentment, and Huang Dafa's eyes were full of disbelief.
"Cousin, you said you were penniless."
