“Wow…!” The crowd of onlookers exploded. Wang Chunxiu froze, become dumbfounded, then she screamed, “Ahhhhh! You, you, you, what are you talking about! I, I, I don’t have any of these thoughts!” Old Lady Wang was also a bit confused, what does this mean?

 

Shao Yunan continued, “Fellow folks and aunties, you all have to say. Hasn’t Wang Chunxiu always run to my house, since my family got rich? My family is now all male, and although Aunt Zhou is doing some work at my house, she is not always there. She’s a big girl who comes either early in the morning or late at night. I didn’t dare to let her in yesterday morning, but today she even dragged her own mother to come over too. Why is she so shameless? Is it possible for me as male wife to divorce Shijing and marry her?”

 

“Wow wow wow wow-!” The fire of gossip from the onlookers ignited. “Oh, Chunxiu, why are you so shameless! Even the male wife is seduced! He is your own brother’s male- wife!”

 

“Ahhhhh! No, no, no! I didn’t seduce him! I didn’t!” Wang Chunxiu was going crazy, rushing to explain her innocence to the people around her. Even though Shao Yunan threatened her before, she never thought he would really do it!

 

“I saw Chunxiu come over early yesterday morning, but Shao Yunan didn’t let her in, so she called her own mother to come over this morning. Is she really trying to seduce Shao Yunan?”

 

“That’s right. She is still a maiden who has not married yet and Shijing’s family is made up of men.”

 

“Shame on you! Who doesn’t know that in the Shijing family, Shao Yunan is in charge? She must have come over to seduce him.”

 

“Ah ah ah! No, he is just saying nonsense! Nonsense! Mother!” Wang Chunxiu was at a loss for words, tears streaming down her cheeks, but no one took pity on her. At this time, if she spoke out that she was only interested in the county magistrate, she would definitely just be looking for more trouble. 

 

Old Lady Wang, who didn’t understand what was going on at first, was awakened by the chatter around her and lunged at Shao Yunan with a cry, but was quickly pulled back by several women, such as Fourth Aunt Wang and Zhao Liu who quickly came over to watch the show.

 

“You either come to seduce Shao Yunan or for Shijing’s family’s wealth. It’s clear enough.”

 

“I think she is trying to seduce Shao Yunan, look at her cheeks still smeared with rouge. If she wasn’t trying to seduce men, why would she wear rouge on such a cold day? The maiden daughters of our village families will only put on rouge when they plan to go out.”

 

“No, no! He’s lying! I can’t possibly like him!” Wang Chunxiu rushed over and tried to block Shao Yunan’s mouth, but Shao Yunan stepped sideways, as he kicked Wang Chunxiu to the ground and said loudly, “The men in my family are all handsome and dashing. Why else would you run to my house everyday dressed like a vixen, if not to seduce men? I’m telling you, Wang Chunxiu, I won’t look at you even if all the women in the world are dead! So you can also die as soon as possible!”

 

“Shao Yunan! You bitch! Shut up! Shut up!”

 

“No, no! I, I don’t like you! Shut up!” Wang Chunxiu got up and tried to block Shao Yunan’s mouth again, but was also held down. Old Lady Wang wanted to strangle Shao Yunan, but she was pinned down by several women. Wang Chunxiu also had no idea what to do. Her face was as white as a piece of paper. As she looked at the taunting expression of the people around her, it made her unable to resist any longer. A woman’s reputation was absolutely every maiden’s most treasured possession, who no one dared to touch easily. But Shao Yunan was determined to teach Wang Chunxiu and Old Lady Wang a hard lesson this time.

 

“Old Lady Wang, Wang Shijing is your son, but my name is written on the house and land deeds. If you don’t believe me, go to the village head’s house to check. I didn’t enter the Wang family’s genealogy, so don’t try using filial piety with me. Because these things have nothing to do with me, Shao Yunan! If I say you are not allowed to enter this mansion, you will not be able to come in. Don’t think that just because you gave birth to Wang Shijing, you can take anything you want from him. I am the master of our house and everything in that house is mine. Wang Shijing doesn’t have a single coin in his name. Still want to enter my house? You can dream on!”

 

“Ahhh! Shao Yunan! You bitch, I’ll tear your mouth off!” Old Lady Wang was no longer able to think about the temporary patience, she just wanted to kill Shao Yunan who destroyed her daughter’s innocence. But Shao Yunan didn’t care about them, as he continued to scold. 

 

“Wang Chunxiu, you are a 17-year-old girl, but you spend all day long thinking about how to seduce a man. You think of yourself as a lady from a big family or a lady from an official’s family, but you are not even the village flower of our Xiushui Village. Now with your reputation… If any man looked at you, he would be absolutely blind. I tell you, old woman Wang, Wang Chunxiu – if your family members come here again I will continue to scold. If you guys are not ashamed of it, I, Shao Yunan will also no longer be afraid! If you like to scold so much, I am happy to accompany you!”

 

At this point, Shao Yunan spoke to Old Lady Wang. “You called me a bitch, but there is a real bitch in your family.” He pointed at Wang Chunxiu, who was already going crazy. “Only a slut would not care how others scold them, but still have the nerve to come. Only a slut would run over to another man’s house time after time. She also used rouge, afraid that men would not notice how enchanting she is. Only a real slut would think about how to seduce other men all day long. Old Lady Wang, the biggest slut in your family is your daughter Wang Chunxiu!”

 

“Ahhh…!” Wang Chunxiu broke away from the people who were restraining her, covered her face, and ran away from the crowd crying. Shao Yunan smiled viciously at Old Lady Wang, who was so angry that she could hardly breathe. “As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. Your daughter is as cheap as you, humph…”

 

Shao Yunan didn’t finish this sentence, but he also didn’t need to do it. He didn’t know what kind of impact his words brought on Old Lady Wang or what came to the mind of Old Lady Wang. But as Shao Yunan barely had time to take a breath, her whole body started trembling, as her face flushed with extreme anger, instantly turning pale.

 

Shao Yunan looked at the villagers who were watching from the side. “I, Shao Yunan, have always respected my betters, but if someone does not show any respect at all, I, Shao Yunan will also not be polite. I have given that family chance after chance, but in exchange, I have gained an inch. Villagers, aunts, do not blame me for speaking unkindly today. What is going on… I do not want to explain time after time. People in our family naturally understand it. My family and that family no longer have a relationship, don’t talk to me about blood ties.”

 

“It was our family that was thrown out first, so don’t blame our family for being unkind to that family. I, Shao Yunan, am not a person who repays grievances with virtue. Our family is not a family of four dogs that can be discarded when they are not wanted and returned when they are wanted. I will repeat it here today. I, Shao Yunan did not enter the Wang clan’s family tree. After signing the deed of separation, Shijing also has nothing to do with that family. I, Shao Yunan, am the head of our family and no matter how much that family talks about sharing a blood with Shijing, they will not even get a single copper coin from me!”

 

“Old Lady Wang, you also control your husband. In our family, if I say west, Shijing will also not dare to say east. Blame it on your own family tradition. If you want to get benefits from Shijing, you will first need to see if I, Shao Yunan, agree or disagree with it! I would rather throw my family money into the water to hear a splash than give it to you. Even If I wanted to marry Wang Chunxiu, how could I not see what kind of good she is! She’s only worthy of being a harlot who climbs into men’s beds in the middle of the night!”

 

As soon as Shao Yunan said these insulting words, Old Lady Wang’s eyes turned white and she fainted. She was so angry that she passed out. But Shao Yunan did not take pity on her at all. He just watched with a cold expression as Old Lady Wang fainted. Then he turned around and entered the mansion. The onlookers swallowed subconsciously. Shao Yunan’s sturdiness refreshed their understanding of this family’s male wife once again. Compared with Shao Yunan, Old Lady Wang was simply a small witch!

 

Behind the door, the Guo brothers, Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, Wang Qing, and Wang Nizi each stared at Shao Yunan, who had returned triumphantly with their eyes and mouths open. As soon as the door closed, Shao Yunan was held in Wang Shijing’s arms, with a voice of dissatisfaction in his ear.

 

“From now on, don’t say that Wang Chunxiu seduced you, you are my wife.” Shao Yunan grinned. “If she still dares to come to our door, then she would really be trying to seduce me.”

 

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Wang Shijing lowered his head and bit down on his wife’s ear. Shao Yunan broke free from Wang Shijing’s arms. “Let’s go back to the house and eat.”

 

Wang Qing and Wang Nizi closed their mouths. As Shao Yunan stretched out his hand towards Nizi, Nizi held the hand of her Little Father, not sure what to think. Shao Yunan also didn’t ask. The others also seemed to not care, as they quietly went back to the dining room. Halfway, Aunt Zhou couldn’t help but worry. “Yunan, since you spoke about Chunxiu like this, what if she…” If this happened, it would not end well.

 

Shao Yunan sneered. “Don’t worry, Aunt Zhou. Wang Chunxiu will never seek death. At most, she would make a show of it. How can a person with such thick skin seek death? I also warned her earlier, but she didn’t listen and didn’t believe me, so she can’t blame me for not being polite.”

 

Uncle Zhou sighed. “Thinking about doing evil all day long. Fortunately, Shijing married you.” Wang Nizi, who had been thinking about things for some time, finally spoke up. “Little Father, I want to be as good as you in the future.”

 

Shao Yunan froze for a moment, then laughed. “Nizi should be even more powerful, so that she won’t be bullied by stinky men in the future. But don’t act like Little Father just did. Little Father had no choice since the enemy was too extreme, but our Nizi should act as a lady, powerful on the outside and good inside.”

 

Nizi didn’t understand. “I will listen to little father.” Shao Yunan pinched Nizi’s face, smiling gently. Wang Qing, who walked behind with his father, thought in his heart that the little father in his family was enough. When he grows up, he would marry a gentle and filial daughter-in-law, who would listen to his little father.
