Chapter 326 The Calm Lake (66)
Jiang Xinyi's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice choked with emotion: "Little Xia, my dear sister."
Meng Jiuxia quickly shielded her behind her: "Sister Xinyi, don't be afraid, we've got everything here. This scoundrel is shamelessly pestering me again. Why didn't you say so earlier? No wonder I noticed you looked off the other day. I wanted to ask you about it, but I got busy and forgot about it."
Xu Chaoyan then remembered that they had been discussing how Qingjiang Xinyi had seemed rather cheerful those past two days, and how she had even been secretly laughing to herself at times. She hadn't noticed it afterward; her sister-in-law was more observant than she was, and she blamed herself for being so negligent these past few days.
It's all Zhang Qiao'er's fault, that vixen, and my aunt's constant troublemaking that annoyed me so much that I neglected these things.
“You bastard, have we been harassing you all this time? Why didn’t you tell us about this? You should have told us when you were in trouble.”
Jiang Xinyi looked at Yu Junzhi with anger and disgust, as if he were something filthy: "He did come looking for me a few times before, acting shamelessly. He even said that I should go back and have a son for him. He said that he and Meifang were just playing around, and that he only had his eye on her because she had a house and some money. He said he would trick me into coming back to the house and take me back to live a good life."
With each word she spoke, Meifang's face darkened further. Pointing at Jiang Xinyi, she cursed, "You little bitch, don't talk nonsense here. Do you think I don't know how much my man loves me and how much he cares about me? Do you think you can sow discord with just a few words?"
Jiang Xinyi looked at her confident expression and chuckled, "You like to deceive yourself, so go ahead and deceive yourself. What kind of person is he? You probably know better than I do. In all the time we've spent together, he's either been lazy and good-for-nothing or out flirting with other women. Do you think you're the only one? With his restless nature, do you think the two of you can live peacefully under my roof? And his mother, are you sure you can stand her? She even gave me wild vegetable soup during my postpartum period. As a woman, I'm just trying to give you a few kind words of advice."
Yu Junzhi suddenly burst into a tirade: "Jiang Xinyi, you bitch, you can't stand to see me doing well, can you? You were the one who kept pestering me, asking me to come out and saying you were having a hard time and needed money, asking me to scrape together some for you. You don't even have the money you used for your period. I only lent you some loose change because you're Bao'er's mother. Meifang, you have to believe me, she just loves me too much. I agreed to meet her because I was afraid she'd do something stupid. After all, she's Bao'er's mother. It's all my fault for being too kind."
Then Yu Junzhi pulled Meifang into his arms, kissing and coaxing her, speaking in a low and obsequious voice. Jiang Xinyi couldn't stand his sycophantic behavior.
“A grown man like you has no shame, spending all your time chasing after a woman. Is this what you call a good life with Yu Jun? If you can’t live a good life, just hand Bao’er over to me.”
Yu Junzhi and Meifang were still whispering and acting all lovey-dovey, which made people feel nauseous.
Xu Chaoyan had already pulled Meng Jiuxia aside and used the lid of the wooden bucket to block her view: "Young lady, don't imitate these brothel ways. Look at that wicked behavior of his, I want to slap him twice. Go rest over there by the cart for a while, your sister-in-law will be right there."
The two of them were saying things that made people blush and their hearts race without any restraint, giving everyone goosebumps.
Xu Chaoyan pulled Jiang Xinyi over and spat at the two of them a few times: "Let's go, don't talk nonsense with them here or we'll get styes."
Just as the three were about to leave, Meifang suddenly shouted, "You little slut, don't go! You haven't explained yourself to me yet. What right do you have to seduce my man? You're not leaving until you give me an explanation. You've already been divorced and are now a discarded wife. How dare you still seduce other men? Do you want to make a comeback?"
Jiang Xinyi was already seething with anger. She went back to see her daughter, only to be chased after by this scoundrel who wouldn't leave her alone. He kept pestering her, dragging her around and saying shameless things, telling her that if she went back and gave him a son, she could live whatever she wanted after that.
While the two were arguing on the street, Meifang didn't know what possessed her to leave the house, and today she unexpectedly ran into them.
Jiang Xinyi sized up Meifang: "I can tell you're much older than that bastard. You'd better hold onto your money tightly. He's with you for a reason. Do you really think he loves you? He only loves himself. He even discarded me like trash after I bore him a daughter, let alone you. As a woman, I'm giving you this last friendly reminder: it's best to keep your money for yourself."
Meifang covered her mouth and chuckled: "What I do is none of your business. He's my man now. You just need to mind your own business. Don't try to seduce him all the time. You two better not meet. If I find out, I'll break your legs. So what if he lies to me? I have money and property now. All I want is someone who truly cares for me. He can stay as long as he wants."
Jiang Xinyi glanced at the man not far away and revealed a mocking smile: "Yu Junzhi, if you're a grown man who wants to live off a woman, then do it properly and don't choke. Since you're unwilling to give my daughter to me, then please treat her well and don't let your old mother take her to the countryside to live a life of hunger and cold. There are a lot of old bachelors in the village, and your old mother often brings old men back in the middle of the night, which has a great impact on the child's development."
Seeing that she was going too far, Yu Junzhi interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
"How I treat my daughter is my own business. I don't need you to teach me. You'd better send over your allowance on time every month. How come you haven't managed to climb the social ladder? You can't even afford this little bit of money. Weren't you so arrogant back then? Those gigolos haven't come looking for you. I told you they were just playing around with you. And you still eagerly offered yourself up to be played with. Don't dream that rich young men will favor you. They're just using you because they think you're somewhat important."
"Ouch!" Yu Junzhi cried out, clutching his forehead.
"Who dared to hit me? Don't let me catch you! Ouch, it hurts so much! Meifang, quickly blow on it for me and take a look. I'm definitely bleeding."
After saying that, he looked around warily, as if afraid of being hit again.
Xu Chaoyan and the others were also baffled. They only heard someone clutching their head and wailing. The three of them exchanged glances but still had no idea what was going on.
Then he turned to look at Meng Jiuxia in the distance, and saw her with a mischievous expression, waving the tools in her hand. He then understood. He gestured for her to quickly hide the slingshot in her hand so that this person wouldn't find it, as this person seemed to be a vengeful person.
The two of them were checking their wounds and chattering away, so Xu Chaoyan and the others ignored them and pushed the cart back.
The sudden call of "sister" startled them, and they involuntarily looked over.
They saw a wealthy young man in fine clothes walking towards them from not far away.
Xu Chaoyan and the others looked puzzled as to who this person was, and Jiang Xinyi moved her feet back a little.
