Chapter 194 Ma Tongsheng
Chapter 194 Ma Tongsheng
"Who was the woman you were talking to today? Why was she so close to you? Were you two having an affair? I saw it all! If my best friend wasn't with me, I'd be afraid she'd see me and laugh at me. I would definitely chase her and ask her questions!"
Deng Wangshu's three consecutive questions left Ma Wuxing stunned on the spot.
He also didn't expect that his wife actually saw him talking to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Half a month ago, he happened to meet Zhou Yuanyuan when he came out of the bookstore after buying some books. After not seeing her for a few months, she looked much more haggard. She no longer had the beauty she used to have. She was holding her waist, her belly was slightly bulging, and her face looked extremely haggard.
As soon as she saw him, she told him that the baby in her belly was his.
After calculating the time, it is indeed the case.
But he already has a wife.
How could he possibly marry Zhou Yuanyuan again?
So he found an excuse and ran away.
Who would have thought that the bitch Zhou Yuanyuan would actually follow him, so that now whenever he goes out, he is surrounded by Zhou Yuanyuan's family.
Worried that they would come knocking on my door.
I could only pretend to coax them and meet with Zhou Yuanyuan from time to time.
He is also very annoyed.
If Wangshu knew about this, not only would he be in trouble, but he would also lose the baby in Yuanyuan's belly. After all, the baby was his. What if it was a son? He couldn't bear to see the child meet the King of Hell before he was even born.
Ma Wuxing was frantically thinking of excuses in his mind.
His silence made Deng Wangshu furious.
"Clap--"
Deng Wangshu actually slapped him twice.
"Everything you have now was given to you by my father. If you dare to let me down, we will divorce! I have nothing to be afraid of. I am my father's only daughter. The baby in my belly will take my surname and become the grandson of our Deng family! The worst that can happen is that I will marry someone else!"
Deng Wangshu's confidence comes from his mother's family.
Ma Wuxing had nothing except the status of a student.
When the two got married, her family gave her a house, an ox cart, five servants, three hundred taels of silver and a hundred acres of land as a dowry.
This is because they are worried that outsiders will gossip about Ma Wuxing and secretly make up stories about him being a son-in-law.
Because it delayed his path to the imperial examination.
Otherwise, she would move back to her parents' home with Ma Wuxing.
"I am a student after all, how dare you hit me? Fine, fine, fine, let's get a divorce. Am I afraid of you? At worst, I can just marry someone else. There's a long queue of women in town who want to marry me. Wait, I'll take the exam in the fall. If I pass, I'll never let you go!
You are just a poor landlord with a few stinky money, yet you dare to be so arrogant? Are you worthy of hitting me? If my family was not in financial difficulty, would I marry a landlord's daughter like you? I will write a divorce letter right now. As long as I pass the imperial examination, the child in your belly will still have my surname, otherwise I will destroy your family!"
Ma Wuxing worked as a servant for several months.
The suppressed temper was completely released by these two slaps.
Deng Wangshu didn't expect that he would dare to scold him.
I was so scared that I couldn't speak, and I held my stomach and cried out in pain.
After Ma Wuxing finished scolding, he regained his senses.
He had only half a month left to go to Ruling Prefecture for the exam, and how could he go without money?
At this critical moment, we must not offend the Deng family.
At least not now.
His pupils shrank slightly.
Deng Wangshu was quickly helped up.
"My dear, I just said those words in anger. How could I bear to divorce you? The woman who talked to me that day was just someone who liked me before. She was going to get married. She happened to see me and said goodbye to me. I will never see her again in this life. You should have seen what she was wearing.
How can I look up to a girl from a farmer's family? How can she compare to you? I am really angry. I am angry that you slandered me without knowing the truth. Is this how you think of your husband? It's okay for you to hit me. After all, you are my wife, but you can't think of me like this. It hurts my heart."
Ma Wuxing pretended to wipe away his tears.
He noticed from the corner of his eye that his wife seemed somewhat skeptical, so he continued.
"My husband will take the imperial examination in half a month. How can I take it if you are like this? I am worried about you. How about this? I will not take the examination. I will just stay at home and accompany you for the rest of my life. From now on, I will not leave the house and I promise not to talk to any woman."
Ma Wuxing stretched out his hand.
Just as he was about to swear to the sky, Deng Wangshu covered his mouth.
"I don't allow you to say that. You have to go to the examination. I have already prepared the money for you. The oxcart is too slow and uncomfortable to sit in. I will rent you a horse carriage. Then you can take a servant with you to take care of you. I just lost my mind and I shouldn't have hit you. My husband, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
The reason why I married Ma Wuxing was because of his status.
He passed the examination to become a student when he was not even twenty years old. Maybe he could become a scholar or juren in the future.
Her father is just a landlord and she is the only daughter.
I must find someone to rely on, otherwise I will have to wait for my father to die.
The family property is about to be taken away by my second uncle's family.
Deng Wang felt comfortable and soft.
The couple reconciled.
Ma Wuxing, who escaped the disaster, made up an excuse and went out.
He came to Baihu Lane on Wanlu Street, a place where all kinds of people mixed together and it was full of poor people.
Human and animal feces and thick phlegm can be seen everywhere on the ground.
No way to start.
Ma Wuxing frowned and stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
He reached out and knocked on the door.
Because the house was so small, the door opened quickly.
"Oh, it's the son-in-law? The son-in-law is here, Yuanyuan, come here quickly, son-in-law Ma is here, get up quickly." Mrs. Chen shouted excitedly behind her.
Zhou Yuanyuan quickly pushed the loose hair on her cheeks behind her ears, then she climbed down from the bed and walked towards Ma Wuxing with what she thought was the most charming expression.
"Snapped--"
Who would have thought that before she could even say anything, she was slapped by Ma Wuxing.
"Look at what you have done. I have already told you not to come looking for me all the time. Look, you were caught by my wife today, and I almost divorced her. You know the situation in my family very well. If I divorce her, who will give me money to take the imperial examination? You?
Look at this shabby place you live in, it's dirty and smelly, why don't you stay in the village, I don't have anything I want now, what's the point of you looking for me, can I still take you in? My father-in-law will beat me to death! Do you want to drag me to live a hard life with you?"
Ma Wuxing was furious.
He took out all his anger on Zhou Yuanyuan.
Therefore, he didn't hold back his strength and hit Zhou Yuanyuan's right face, leaving it red.
"Xinglang, I can't hide my pregnancy anymore. How can I survive if you let me stay in the village? The gossips of the villagers are enough to overwhelm me. We are in love, do you really not care about me?
The baby is already five months old and will be due in another five months. I asked someone and they said I must be pregnant with a boy. This is our son, your son! Don’t you want me and the baby anymore?”
Zhou Yuanyuan cried pitifully.
