182 Reap what you sow (3)
“Sister-in-law, don’t malign me!”
As soon as First Aunt finished speaking, Second Uncle Shi Liqiu’s innocent voice sounded.
“Other than my own bed, I won’t sleep in anyone else’s bed.” Shi Liqiu walked into the crowd and looked at Li Hongmei disdainfully. He sneered and said, “Which part of this woman can compare to my wife? She can’t even compare to her finger. I would be blind to be with her. Hmph…”
The villagers were speechless.
Li Hongmei was also dumbfounded and felt extremely humiliated to be mocked by another man.
The men from the Shi family were really unpredictable.
Shi Liqiu turned around and shouted at Shi Bangqing, “Shi Bangqing, what’s going on? Why is your woman targeting our men? Last time, she said that my younger brother touched her, and this time, she said that my elder brother touched her. Will it really be my turn next time?”
Shi Bangqing walked in with a dark expression. His expression was still very angry. He was angry at Li Hongmei, who was still squatting on the ground. When one lowered his head, he could see her cleavage.
He pulled Li Hongmei up and asked angrily, “Li Hongmei, what are you doing here again?”
Old Lady Shi, who had followed them over, cursed at Li Hongmei.
“You slutty fox. You dress up beautifully every day and all you think about is seducing men. If you don’t seduce men, will you die?” Old Lady Shi vented all the anger she had suppressed recently. “You deserve to be beaten up now.”
Then, they scolded Li Hongmei fiercely. They scolded her with terms that Gu Qingming could not understand.
Gu Qingming was dumbfounded. Were the vulgarities of rural people that scary?
Was this Li Hongmei not her daughter-in-law, but her father’s murderer?
Li Hongmei was not from this village. She usually communicated with the villagers in Chinese, so she did not understand what they said at this moment.
However, after fighting with Old Lady Shi for the past few days, she basically understood these curses.
Li Hongmei was also furious. She roared at Old Lady Shi, “You damned old uncultured woman. You’re not even related to me. What right do you have to scold me?”
“Ever since I was young, my mother could not bear to scold me. But when it comes to you, I’ve become your punching bag. It’s none of your business whether I’m seducing a man or not. What can your useless son give me?”
“Hmph, so what if I’m seducing a man? Isn’t this because your son is too useless? Let me tell you, old woman. If you have the ability, get your son to chase me away. Hmph, I want to see what kind of wife your son can get after chasing me away. With your family’s bad reputation, only I can take a fancy to your son and be willing to live with him.”
Their family had already chased away a wife, and their reputation had already spread to the surrounding villages.
Besides, their family was poor, Shi Bangqing was so useless, and the two elders were so heartless. Which woman would be willing to marry into such a family?
Well, except, of course, for those who scammed people into marriage for betrothal gifts.
However, their family’s standards were too high. Yuan Chunjiao was so filial to her in-laws and raised the entire family’s daughter-in-law, but she despised her for being ugly.
As soon as this matter was exposed, it became a joke in the surrounding villages.
There was now a a popular saying in this area: men should marry virtuous wives, women should stay away from Shi Bangqing.
If he chased Li Hongmei away, Shi Bangqing could only be a bachelor for the rest of his life unless he had the ability to use all his assets to coax a woman back.
Moreover, according to rumors, all the money Shi Bangqing had earned over the years was in Li Hongmei’s hands.
If Li Hongmei left, they would be epitomizing what it meant to lose both the person and the assets.
As long as it was a smart old lady, she would definitely coax Li Hongmei into staying willingly.
Unfortunately, Old Lady Shi had been served by her ex-daughter-in-law all these years and treated herself as the Empress Dowager. She thought that the woman her son brought back had to listen to her.
If she didn’t listen, she would expose her true nature and scold her to the end.
Old Lady Shi did not have the self-awareness of a mother whose son was about to lose his wife.
Hearing Li Hongmei call her a damn old woman, she was so angry that she wanted to tear her mouth apart.
A new round of scolding began.
The home ground had become an internal strife between their family.
The surrounding people were enjoying the show.
“Tsk tsk, the two of them are really equally good at scolding others.”
“I didn’t expect Li Hongmei to be so good at scolding even though she looks weak.”
“Hehe, I thought she was a gentle woman, but now she’s a shrew cursing the streets.”
“They are really of the same feather!”
“Those who are blessed will not enter a family that is not blessed! Looks like Yuan Chunjiao’s divorce from Shi Bangqing is really a way out of her misery.”
“I really thought that Shi Bangqing brought back a good woman. In the end, this woman has only been in the village for less than a month and so many things have happened.”
“Perhaps Shi Bangqing likes this type. Otherwise, all the hard-earned money he earned over the years would be handed over to this woman.”
“Some time ago, Shi Bangqing asked her to take out money to buy furniture, but she kept making a fuss and refused to take out the money.”
“Tsk tsk, this is equivalent to using a meat bun to hit a dog. It’s a one-way ticket.”
“Haha, he’s willing. Why should we worry?”
“I’m just pitying their family. They didn’t want a good daughter-in-law. What are they after?”
Gu Qingming was speechless.
The theme seemed to be off.
However, this Li Hongmei was really a piece of rat sh*t. From time to time, she would come to disgust her family.
This woman had ambition and ulterior motives in her eyes.
She wanted to live the life of a rich woman. It was understandable that she had some tricks up her sleeve. However, she should not have targeted her three uncles.
Did she want to use her beauty to become a mistress?
Hmph, this was simply wishful thinking!
Looking at the quarreling mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Gu Qingming whispered to her eldest aunt, “Eldest Aunt, do you want to teach this woman another lesson?”
Eldest Aunt looked at their quarrel and curled her lips. She sneered and said, “No need. This woman probably won’t dare to show her face in front of our men in the future. Your eldest uncle and second uncle have already made it so clear. If she still has any sense of shame, she will hide far away when she sees our men in the future. Hmph, she has suffered enough slaps from our family.”
Hearing her aunt’s words, Gu Qingming recalled that the previous few times, she seemed to have slapped her.
However, she was afraid that this woman would not learn her lesson!
