Chapter 70: Chapter 070 Hot Pot Water_1
Yuan Xueshan thought about it and snapped, “Humph! I don’t even need the twenty thousand yuan anymore, the marriage is off! Forget about it.” She turned to leave, only to be met with a sudden onslaught.
Yuan Xueshan and Huo Jinlan huddled together, failing to dodge in time and getting doused with a large basin of dirty dishwater.
Huo Jinlan looked at the black grime and sticky rice grains all over her white dress, feeling so nauseous that she almost fainted on the spot. Just at that moment, a strange little boy approached, his face blank as he piled the common straw from the countryside onto her.
Everything happened so suddenly no one had time to react. Everyone present was stunned, including Nan Fei and Zhou Yongxian, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
The two stood at the doorway, expressions of shock on their faces.
All the anger Zhou Yongxian had been harboring disappeared at that moment.
After Jiang Yang finished scattering the straw, he turned his blank face towards Guan Rufang, his bright eyes seemingly asking if it was enough? If not, he still had plenty more.
The basin of dishwater had been thrown by Guan Rufang. Back in the day, she had never lost a fight, and throwing dirty dishwater was commonplace for her. If someone really made her mad, she wouldn’t hesitate to throw dung water at them.
She had been at home mending clothes when Jiang Yang ran in from outside and pulled her out. She could hear Yuan Xueshan scolding from afar – couldn’t let her act this way!
Without a second thought, Guan Rufang ran back into the kitchen, picked up the pot of dishwater, and left. Jiang Yang, the little fool, also followed her out of the kitchen, carrying a bundle of straw.
And so, the scene just now happened.
Many of the neighbors who had come to watch the spectacle backed away at the sight of Guan Rufang, especially the older ones who immediately recognized the notorious shrew. They retreated to a safe distance.
“Humph! You dogs, dare to cause trouble at our doorstep.” Guan Rufang cursed loudly, “Get lost… We don’t welcome you here. If you dare to cause trouble again, I will throw dung water on you!”
The mention of dung water caused everyone’s faces to turn particularly unsightly.
Yuan Xueshan felt so nauseated that she was retching, but she couldn’t just lose face and leave. After all, she was a boss and a principal’s wife, a celebrity in Qi Li Town.
“If you want me to leave, give me the twenty thousand yuan! Even if I feed it to the dogs, it’s better than giving it to you.” She was ready for a full-on confrontation. There was no need to save face for the Jiang family anymore.
“Get lost…” Guan Rufang brandished a broom to chase them off. “Your family didn’t even give any money, now you want to get money from us? Your face is really thick.”
Yuan Xueshan looked at Huo Jinlan suspiciously, didn’t the girl say that mother-in-law had already given the money? How come there was still no money now?
“Ah…” Huo Jinlan was sobbing her heart out and screaming, “Mom, I’m uncomfortable, so uncomfortable.”
“What’s wrong?” Yuan Xueshan quickly asked with concern.
“My clothes, and all over me, it’s so disgusting.”
Only then did Yuan Xueshan finally relax. Her previous suspicions were quickly forgotten.
“Are you not leaving yet, what are you standing there for?” Today, Guan Rufang was really angry. She didn’t expect Zhou Yongxian, who was usually so well-mannered, to have such an unreasonable daughter-in-law.
It seemed that after today’s incident, Nan Fei’s marriage would definitely have to be called off. Otherwise, their old Jiang family would really get saddled with the reputation of selling their daughter. Moreover, if the mother-in-law was this fierce, Nan Fei would have a hard time in the future.
