A confident smile hung on Zhao Jiangang’s face. He placed a hand in his pocket, thinking he looked dashing, and turned sideways to face Su Wen with an arrogant expression. He was waiting for her to come forward and please him like she used to.

As long as he acted like he was in a difficult position, that stupid woman would do anything for him.

In fact, Zhao Jiangang had already taken a fancy to Su Wen, a beauty famous all over the country. There were many who wanted to marry her, but Su Wen had to find a live-in husband. This made many young men give up the idea of marrying her.

However, Zhao Jiangang wasn’t afraid. It would be even better if he became a live-in son-in-law. When that happened, the seven sisters would be in his hands, and he could do whatever he wanted. It was simply marrying one wife and being gifted six wives, something so good that he didn’t even dare to dream of it.

Zhao Jiangang’s family was poor, and he didn’t have much money on hand, so he relied on his coaxing skills to swindle women.

In the future, having Su Wen would be equivalent to gaining her family’s five large tile-roofed houses.

Unfortunately, Su Xuewen had already seen through Zhao Jiangang’s tricks and had secretly found out about the things that he and Su Pingfan had done. Zhao Jiangang was so scared that he no longer dared to come to his door again. He hoped that Su Xuewen would die early and not get in his way.

In the end, Su Xuewen held a grudge against him and did not let him live well even after his death. Before he died, he even found Zhou Hengyang.

“Su Pingfan, who are you calling brother-in-law? Your brother-in-law is Zhou Hengyang,” Su Wen questioned loudly. “He went out to earn money to support the family. You’re good, Su Pingfan, helping an outsider.”

Su Pingfan didn’t expect Su Wen to fall out with him and was stunned.

Zhao Jiangang turned around abruptly, his face ashen.

“What are you looking at?” Su Wen didn’t back down. “I’m married, and you’re like a sick chicken suffering from plague. How can you compare to my Zhou Hengyang?”

Then, she snorted coldly and left with the dazed little sister Su.

When they were talking earlier, they had been standing in the village. There were many people coming and going, and there were many houses. From the moment Su Pingfan and Zhao Jiangang appeared together, there were already people secretly peeking at them.

The rumors of Su Wen being dishonest, looking down on Zhou Hengyang, and hooking up with Zhao Jiangang had been spreading in the village.

Most of them believed it.

Everyone had earlier been waiting to watch a show and get evidence along the way. However, they didn’t expect Su Wen to say those words so loudly. The onlookers were speechless and took a long time to recover.

After Su Wen’s words, Zhao Jiangang’s face turned pale, and the black-rimmed glasses couldn’t hide the dark circles under his eyes. He looked exactly like a sick chicken!

“Bah!” A middle-aged woman in her forties came up to Zhao Jiangang and spat at him.

“I knew it. How could the daughter of our Su family be so shameless? So it’s you, a sick chicken, who did this. I’m warning you, don’t even think about having designs on Su Wen. Why don’t you take a good look at yourself in the mirror?”

The auntie’s name was Wang Guihua. She was in her forties and looked dark and strong. She lived next door to Su Xueqiang and was at loggerheads with Zhang Chunxiang, frequently quarreling with her over things like a chicken or a handful of rice bran.

“What did you just say? Say that again!” Zhao Jiangang was so irate that his face turned red.

Seeing that they were about to start arguing, Su Pingfan grabbed Zhao Jiangang. “That’s enough, stop arguing. Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? Hurry up and leave.” He couldn’t afford to lose his dignity in front of his house.

Su Pingfan had his reservations. He had always had a good image outside and everyone who mentioned him would praise him. A lot of people had heard Su Wen scolding him for siding with an outsider. If word got out, it would have a huge impact on him.

Zhao Jiangang calmed down and could only leave in a huff.
