1544 Many Men
“So you still know your way home! Why don’t you just die outside! Why are you away for so long! Are you deliberately trying to starve me to death!” Old Madam Qian roared angrily.
Zhao Ni was already used to this. She pretended not to see Old Madam Qian and quickly went into the room to change her clothes and wash up. Huang Meng, on the other hand, had never encountered such a situation before and was so frightened that she quickly hid inside the room.
Old Madam Qian had not been in good health recently and could only move around slowly. Therefore, she simply sat in the living room and cursed loudly at her family members. At first, the neighbors would come to the Qian family’s house to ask them to keep their voices down, but they were all scolded by Old Madam Qian. As time passed, all the neighbors in the vicinity moved away.
Zhao Ni and Huang Meng hid inside the bedroom and did not go out. Huang Meng was still a little scared that Old Madam Qian would barge into the room suddenly, so she armed herself with whatever she could find and stared at the door warily.
“Sister-in-law, is this your daily life?” Huang Meng asked as she pointed towards the outside.
“Yes, you’ll get used to it,” Zhao Ni said.
“Haven’t you ever thought about separating from Brother-in-law? There’s no point in living with such in-laws,” Huang Meng said.
Zhao Ni looked at Huang Meng and said, “You also chose to marry into the Qian family. We’re both the same. Then why don’t you get a divorce?”
Huang Meng said nonchalantly, “Because Qian Cai gives me money and I don’t need to wait on my mother-in-law. I just stay at home and do some farming. I have a lot of freedom and don’t have to face all these difficult situations like you.”
Zhao Ni lowered her head and did not say anything. This was all her own doing. If she had not been so harsh to Qian’e back then and also stopped Qian’e from marrying Ma San, she might not have ended up like this.
However, there was no way to go back in time to relive one’s life. She had to live with whatever she did.
“To be honest, if you get a divorce now, you can still remarry! Why don’t you want to leave?” Huang Meng asked curiously.
“Why do you keep persuading me to leave?” Zhao Ni asked suspiciously.
“Because I feel that you’re pitiful. I’ve never seen such a person with such a miserable life and I feel quite shocked. Besides, Brother-in-law is not even a nice person. He’s also not good in that aspect, at least not as good as Qian Cai. What’s the point of keeping him around,” Huang Meng said disdainfully.
Zhao Ni immediately understood what Huang Meng meant. She did not even feel angry, only shocked and disgusted. She and Qian Wang had slept in separate rooms since a long time ago and their marriage existed only in name. She did not care if Qian Wang cheated on her, as long as he did not do it blatantly in front of her.
It was just a little hard to accept the fact that he actually had an affair with her sister-in-law.
“Does… does Qian Cai know what you’re doing?” Zhao Ni asked, suppressing the disgust in her heart.
Huang Meng sat on the bed and swung her legs leisurely as she said, “Maybe? Maybe not? Anyway, he’s just like all those other men. He only likes me for my looks. There’s no difference.”
Zhao Ni really could not understand what Huang Meng was doing. She sat at the other corner of the bedroom and did not look at Huang Meng. Her actions did not matter to Huang Meng. She told Zhao Ni all these things on purpose. It would be quite a thrill if she could cause chaos in the Qian family. Unfortunately, Zhao Ni’s reaction was really boring and she behaved completely differently from the other women in their village when they heard such news.
Qian Cai and Qian Sheng came back from having drinks. When they saw that their mother was alone in the living room, they became a little angry. Qian Sheng asked, “Mother, they’re not back yet?”
“They’re back! Two black-hearted people came back! And the two of you heartless things! You went out to have fun and eat good food! You left me alone at home!” Old Madam Qian said sadly.
Qian Sheng ignored what Old Madam Qian was muttering about and went into the room to look for Liu Jia. Huang Meng suddenly rushed out of the room at the same time. She did not stop to see who it was standing at the door, but simply rushed into his arms and said sweetly, “Hubby~ I’ve suffered a lot today! You have to stand up for me!”
Qian Sheng was stunned as if he had been electrocuted. Liu Jia was a skinny woman without any curves. She was very bony and had a boyish figure. Huang Meng, on the other hand, was so curvaceous. Her soft chest was now pressed hard against his chest, causing him to almost lose control!
