Chapter 231 -232: Kiss Me and I’ll Tell You_1

“Bing’er, why did you come back? You didn’t even say a word in advance; let your mother prepare for you,” Mrs. Hu just heard some noise and hurried out, seeing her daughter, she simply burst into smiles.

Xia Bing, with a ghastly expression, walked toward Mrs. Hu: “Mother, let’s go inside.”

Mrs. Hu glanced at the carriage behind Xia Bing: “Bing’er, your husband didn’t bring you back this time?”

The old man driving the carriage became impatient and shouted: “Hey, pay up, will you? I’m busy here, pay up so I can make the next trip. I really didn’t want to come to this godforsaken place, but I took pity on you, a young girl all alone, and brought you here. Now you’re hesitating over the payment; if you don’t have the money, don’t ride in a carriage.”

Everyone around was momentarily stunned; it seems this wasn’t Tofu Zhang’s carriage. No wonder the villagers were mistaken, these two carriages looked identical, covered in dust, it was easy to confuse them.

Xia Bing quickly fetched five copper coins and gave them to the old man: “Oh, sorry, I forgot for a moment. Take care on your way.”

The old man’s expression softened considerably, he snorted coldly, flicked his whip, and the carriage whistled away.

The surrounding onlookers suddenly became quiet. Xia Bing’s return to her parental home, alone at that, didn’t seem like a visit but rather like she was cast out.

Mrs. Hu was taken aback, then asked: “What’s going on here, why didn’t your husband accompany you? Such a long journey, how could you manage to come back alone?”

Xia Bing seemed unable to hold back any longer, and large tears began to roll down: “The Zhang Family wants to divorce me.”

“What!?” Mrs. Hu was hopping mad: “On what grounds?”

Overcome with emotion, Xia Bing couldn’t care less about the people eavesdropping around the corner and simply told it all: “A few months after I got married, there was no sign of pregnancy. My mother-in-law suggested I see a doctor, and that was when I found out, that was when I found out—”

Xia Bing couldn’t go on, her crying made it impossible to speak.

“Found out what?” Mrs. Hu was on edge.

“I can’t have children,” Xia Bing burst into sobs: “The Zhang Family said they can’t keep a daughter-in-law who can’t even bear a child, they want to divorce me.”

Mrs. Hu was startled but blurted out, “Why can’t you have children?” Then realizing the inappropriateness of her question, she gave Xia Bing a questioning look filled with concern, to which Xia Bing nodded tearfully.

Mrs. Hu’s complexion turned the color of dark maroon, as if she had swallowed something disgusting, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

To outsiders, the interaction between mother and daughter was incomprehensible. But Muniang guessed most of it; looking at Xia Bing in this state, she truly felt sorry for her. A miscarriage with heavy bleeding and then the hurried marriage without proper recuperation by a doctor, it was no wonder she couldn’t conceive.

The others, witnessing this scene, felt it was no longer appropriate to say anything else. After all, the woman was heartbroken, and sticking around as if to watch a spectacle would be disrespectful. So, they dispersed one by one, and Muniang also left with Yu Ze.

“Seeing Xia Bing in this state, although it is of her own making, it is somewhat pitiful. What seemed to be a perfect match turned out so tragically, and now she can’t even have children. Nobody will be willing to marry her,” Muniang said as she walked, a hint of sorrow in her voice.

She was not only mourning for Xia Bing but also for the women of this era. A woman who can’t bear children is not considered a woman at all.

Yu Ze, however, said: “Do you think Xia Bing is the sort to resign herself to this fate?”

Muniang looked at him in astonishment: “What do you mean by that?”

“Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”

Muniang gave him an unamused glance, “Fine, forget about it!” This scoundrel, getting a little advantage in the morning and now acting so unscrupulously.

Yu Ze could only say, “She came back this time and announced in front of everyone that she had been divorced by the Zhang Family, do you really think she’s such a shameless person?”

“Are you saying she did it on purpose?”

“Isn’t it true that even you are starting to feel sorry for her? Not to mention others. Just you wait and see, in no time at all, she’ll surely get the villagers to seek justice for her. Our Tupo Village folks have always been united, how could they stand to see one of their own bullied by outsiders? Just the Village Head alone definitely won’t let it slide so easily.”

Only then did Muniang understand, “She really knows how to leverage the situation. I didn’t expect this girl to be so cunning, incapable of fighting the Zhang Family who abandoned her herself, she turns to the villagers to seek justice for her.”

Disgust appeared in Yu Ze’s eyes, “People like her will never let themselves suffer a loss. Now, with Xia Bing painting Tofu Zhang as an ungrateful wretch, if our village really seeks justice for her and the matter blows up, the Zhang Family wouldn’t dare to divorce her.”

Muniang didn’t tell Yu Ze about Xia Bing’s miscarriage before the marriage; naturally, he thought the chances of success were high. After thinking for a while, Muniang felt like teasing him, raised her eyebrows, and said:

“I bet the Zhang Family will still divorce her.”

“Why?” It was Yu Ze’s turn to ask.

Muniang tilted her head, “Why should I tell you so easily?” Implying that he had just been setting conditions, and she wasn’t about to let herself be at a loss!

Yu Ze glanced around to see that no one was there, held Muniang’s head, and planted a kiss on her, “I kissed you, now tell me.”

Muniang hit him several times in embarrassment and annoyance, “Who said you could kiss me!”

Yu Ze pretended to be confused, “I thought what you meant was, if I kissed you, you would tell me.”

Muniang glared at him, “Get lost! Don’t pretend to be innocent in front of me! I simply won’t tell you. Let’s make a bet; I bet the Zhang Family will definitely divorce her. If I win, you are not allowed to touch me randomly!”

“And if you lose, I can touch you whenever I want?”

Muniang huffed, “We’ll see about that!”

Yu Ze didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; how did they end up in a “wait and see” situation? He hadn’t even agreed to the bet. Oh well, if a bet it must be, then so be it. A full-grown man, what harm would there be to play a bit of the scoundrel in front of his lovely wife?

If Muniang knew what Yu Ze was thinking right now, she would certainly be hopping mad. What kind of twisted logic is that?!

“Oh, isn’t that Muniang? Are you and your husband busy at your Tianzhuang again?”

Muniang looked over, and sure enough, it was Old Madame Bai, the Village Head’s Lady. With the Village Head being so fair and managing the village so well, it naturally couldn’t do without his wife’s virtuous contribution.

“Granny Bai,” Muniang called sweetly.

“I heard from my old man that your husband was supposed to come over for a drink at our place. But looking forward to it left and right, we haven’t seen hide nor hair of him. Now that we’ve bumped into each other, I’ve come to ask, it isn’t that he disdains our food and drink, is it?” Mrs. Wen was just teasing; she wasn’t serious.

Muniang slapped her forehead, “Oh my, I really did forget about it. The past few days have been hectic with Qinghe’s incident, I just didn’t remember. As long as you don’t find it bothersome, we’d naturally be more than happy to mooch a meal off you.”
