Chapter 79 - A Slap Each
Chapter 79 - A Slap Each
The Lin family was troubled and the Luo family wasn't any better , the second village head Luo returned back home , the first thing he did was to give the mother and daughter a good tight slap on the face .
" Father !" Cried Luo Chenxi in disbelief , her father had never treated her like this. Even though her father's way of thinking was a bit pedantic , he had treated her fairly well even though She was just a daughter .
Whatever her brother had , she would make sure to get that as well and her father had never gotten angry at her before then why now ?ƒ𝔯ℯe𝘄𝐞𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵ𝘦𝒍. com
" husband ? What's wrong with you ?" Demanded Madam Liu , she too had been spoiled rotten by village head Luo , even though she got fat and ugly with the passage of time , her husband had never looked at any young girl nor had he ever mentioned to take in another wife , thus , madam Liu grew bold and unrestrained - this? was her first time getting slapped by her husband after marrying him , so it wasn't a surprise that Madam Liu was so shocked .
" do you have any idea how embarrassed you two made me today?" Asked Village head Luo , his voice low and dangerous , in fact what he wanted to do was not to just give a tight slap each to his wife and daughter . What he wanted to do was to teach them a lesson so good that not even their seven generations would forget it !
" do you have any shame ? Or have you eaten it all up ? You actually dared to act frivolous with Xiao Rui right in front of his wife ? Why didn't you just stripped off your clothes and stood stark naked in front of him !" Shouted village head Luo angrily .
Luo Chenxi 's complexion turned pale and her head swoon , she had never thought that her father would say such ruthless and vulgar words to her . Even Madam Liu was shocked stunned and couldn't help but shout " my lord !"
" Shut up !" Roared Village head Luo barely restraining the disgust? that he was feeling in his heart " when Xiao Rui 's family came to ask for marriage you refused them now that he have already married someone else , you cannot digest it ? Is that it ! What did you think that if you don't marry him , he will remain a bachelor for a long time and marry some riff raff girl from a poor family ? "
At her father's word Luo Chenxi blushed even more furiously , her father really understood her well . This was exactly what she thought , when her mother refused the marriage after father Lin died and the Lin brothers were subdued by their grandmother - Luo Chenxi didn't feel any regret in her heart , what she loved more was Lin Rui's future prospects as an official than his face . She thought that with such a tragedy happening in their family , Lin Rui was done for and no one in the village would marry him .
And that happened too , no one was was ready to give the Lin brothers their daughters for marriage that's why they had to purchase a girl from next village . Luo Chenxi thought that Lin Rui would certainly marry an ugly and poor girl and when that happens no one will say a thing against her , in fact she herself won't feel much bitter .
If Lin Rui 's wife had a hard time working in the old Lin house and Lin Rui walked around the village with a below average looking woman , she could have coaxed herself by telling her heart that she dodged a bullet and that Lin Rui would never get a wife more beautiful than her while she will get married to a good looking rich man , at that time Lin Rui would be full of regret and disappointment thinking that she was out of his reach and by asking her hand for marriage it was him actually acting like a toad that wanted to pursue a swan .
But what she thought didn't happen ! Su Wan turned out to be much beautiful than her and she wasn't having a hard time in the Lin family either ! In fact she was actually living a life like that of a rich mistress while her husbands worked hard in the fields .
And Su Wan was actually living in the most biggest house available in their village even bigger than hers , so what if they didn't have furniture and what nots ? They actually had so many properties to make up for it !
To make matters even worse Lin Rui has started to look even more resplendent and handsome , unlike his past 's pallid complexion his face looked rosy and now that he finally had a chance to fulfil his goals , he no longer had that gloomy and dark look about himself , in-fact he was looking quite charming and a man with his entire life in front of him , how can Luo Chenxi be not upset with this ?
Didn't she work hard pursuing Lin Rui for a good six or seven months ? It should have been her who should be enjoying the comforts once Lin Rui became an official ! Why was it Su Wan ? Luo Chenxi just couldn't be reconciled because of this .
What Luo Chenxi didn't try to think that Lin Rui was only continuing his studies because Su Wan and Lin Yan were working hard for it , unlike Su Wan she could not cook unique delicacies and she also didn't have much sense of fashion like Lin Yu , even Lin Jing and Lin Chen were sharing the load by working in the fields and growing vegetables but everything that they had now actually directly or indirectly came from Su Wan . If Luo Chenxi was the one who married Lin Rui would she let the Lin brothers take such a huge chunk of more than hundred taels to improve the living conditions of the Lin family ? With her greediness she would have never done that , if the living conditions of the Lin family didn't improve , then from where will Lin Rui get the money to study ?
Luo Chenxi didn't think about the process snd sacrifices that were involved behind the Lin brothers improved conditions , all she cared about the results ! How greedy !
Madam Liu plump face trembled a little when she saw her husband's furious expression in this village she wasn't afraid of offending anyone but when her husband pulled a long face , Madam Liu couldn't help but shiver in fear , eyes flickering slightly she decided to dump the entire responsibility on Su Wan's head " what nonsense are you thinking husband? That Su girl is just a jealous good for nothing , she saw Chenxi work in the field's with Lin Rui and created a mountain out of a mole hill , will Chenxi really do something so shameless ? Don't listen to that no good , shameless girl and blame us -"
" Alright who are you trying to fool ? Do you think that you are the only one who is the smartest in this village and every one else 's brains are flooded with water ?" Village head Luo savagely replied " don't I know you two well ? Do you think that if you make empty excuses and try to shift responsibility for today's incident on someone else , I won't understand and let the matter go just as always !"
During the night of a chilly autumn day , Madam Liu 's entire body was soaked in sweat , when she incited trouble today she thought that as always she would coax her husband just a little bit here and a little bit there and he would let go of the matter but from that gloomy look of her husband's face , it was clear he would rather swallow pig manure than let the matter go tonight !
