Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 136: More Scandals Within Scandals

"Xingye, you’re really not going to care about Mom anymore?" Ma Zilan cried, "I gave birth to you, and you’re so heartless, just watching me get beaten without even defending me?"

Jiang Xingye looked at her calmly, like looking at a stranger.

Once, he also cared for her, wanted to be filial. When he was nine, his father passed away, and she left. He never blamed her, even felt guilty for burdening her.

After she left, she never came to see him. He went to the county secretly following her, and when she saw him, she complained about how hard her life was. He once wanted to grow up quickly, so he could bring his mom back to live a good life.

"Defend you? How should I defend you? Haven’t I defended you before?" Jiang Xingye laughed, coolly and cold-heartedly. "How dare I defend you? The last time I did, I almost lost my life!"

Ma Zilan exclaimed, "Xingye, how could you say such things? You are my son, do you still resent me?"

She pointed at Xu Qinghuan, "Is it you, is it you who said nonsense in front of my son, estranging us mother and son? Dare you say Ninghua harassed you? I think you intentionally seduced my son..."

The ’son’ she mentioned, Ma Zilan was referring to Li Ninghua’s stepson.

Jiang Xingye could not tolerate anyone insulting Xu Qinghuan, he was about to step forward when Xu Qinghuan stopped him, "Auntie Ma, which son are you referring to? Is it Jiang Xingye or Li Ninghua?"

"Did you seduce Ninghua and falsely accuse him of harassment? Go to the police station now and tell them, say it’s you who seduced Ninghua, Ninghua didn’t harass you..."

"Oh, your damn stepson even harassed my Huanhuan. You shameless bitch, what good people are there in your family, first harming my nephew, now bullying Huanhuan."

Zhou Guizhi jumped up in anger, slapped Ma Zilan on both cheeks.

Ma Zilan and she got into a fight, but Ma Zilan couldn’t win, cried and shouted, "Ah ah ah, Xingye, aren’t you gonna help Mom? Are you going to watch your aunt beat me to death?

Boo hoo hoo, Jiang Xingye, you heartless beast, I should never have given birth to you, should have drowned you in the latrine."

Xu Qinghuan had never been so angry before, "I seduced your stepson? What kind of thing is he that I would seduce him?

Looks three inches tall, three-tenths human, seven-tenths ghost, a useless man who can’t father children, only you consider him a treasure!"

Xu Qinghuan’s comment stirred everyone to talk about Li Ninghua. After all, a man’s incompetence is even more shocking than a woman’s infidelity.

Zhou Guizhi was stupefied, burst into laughter after a while, "Ha ha ha, serves him right, really serves him right. Like I said, doing evil deeds won’t end well, and now the Li Family will end with no descendants, probably because of you, heartless woman, that brought such great misfortune to them."

Once sisters-in-law, with the younger brother gone, Zhou Guizhi also hoped Ma Zilan would be well. Back then, when Ma Zilan left, Zhou Guizhi supported it, treating Jiang Xingye as her own child. Who would have thought she would harm Jiang Xingye like that?

Zhou Guizhi’s anger surged whenever she remembered, teeth-gnashing hate. If murder weren’t illegal, she would have torn Ma Zilan apart.

Ma Zilan was terrified, if this spread to the Li Family, she’d surely be thrown out.

"You’re talking nonsense, Ninghua is fine. If you dare spread lies again, I’ll have Xingye divorce you!" Ma Zilan cried, "Xingye, do you just watch your woman bully your mom like this?"

Jiang Xingye looked at her indifferently, "Huanhuan is especially good!"

Ma Zilan’s heart sank deeper, "Alright, I knew you were heartless, forgetting your mother once you have a wife. Why did I ever give birth to a useless son like you?"

Zhou Guizhi slapped her again, "Talk nonsense again, and don’t expect to leave Shangjiang Team alive today. You’ve been kicked out, don’t ever come back!"

The members joined in agreement; many feared Jiang Xingye, but if outsiders bullied them, they would still side with their own.

For many years, the countryside remained a patriarchal society.

Seeing that her maternal dignity was useless, Ma Zilan began playing the sympathy card, crying, "Xingye, it’s not that Mom doesn’t care about you, Mom’s life isn’t easy either. Ninghua calls me Mom, and he is usually filial to me. If something happens to him, how can I not care?

Your girlfriend is an educated youth, she’s only with you because she doesn’t want to work. Once she gets a chance to return to the city, she’ll leave you!"

This moved quite a few people’s hearts.

Xu Qinghuan’s face turned dark.

Jiang Xingye sneered, "Not everyone is like you!"

Ma Zilan’s embarrassment was fleeting. She cried again, "How can you speak to Mom this way? Mom had no choice, I’m a widow, you were young then, how could I support you? Besides, didn’t your dad tell me, if he’s gone, not to stay alone? If I didn’t listen, how would he rest in peace!"

Zhou Guizhi roared, "You shamelessly say such things!"

Ma Zilan ignored Zhou Guizhi, posed as if begging, "Xingye, Ninghua is your brother. For Mom’s sake, just spare him, go to the police station and say he didn’t harass your woman, it was your woman falsely accusing him!"

Jiang Xingye laughed in anger, "Why? Can I stay at the police station, but Li Ninghua can’t?"

Ma Zilan was stunned for a moment, her face changed dramatically, "Xingye, you did this on purpose? Were you falsely accusing Ninghua? I said a good child like him couldn’t do such things?

Xingye, if you hate Mom, take it out on Mom. How can you send your brother to the police station, burdening his future with such infamy?"

The veins on Jiang Xingye’s forehead bulged, even though he understood he was the abandoned one for years, hearing this still caused a heart-wrenching pain.

Xu Qinghuan was also furious, "You understand you falsely accused Xingye back then! Your stepson said you willingly wronged your own child for his father, now you’d definitely have Xingye sacrifice me for him. Coming here to stir trouble, indeed, your stepson wasn’t mistaken!"

Production team members were stunned, this was a complicated matter, like unpeeling an onion!

Ma Zilan’s reason burned out by anger, blurted foolishly, "What could I do? Should I let this little beast disrupt the peace of my family?

Back then, if he hadn’t run to my house, such things wouldn’t have happened! I already remarried, him coming to my house clearly meant to disrupt my peace!"

Xu Qinghuan calmed down in anger, "Didn’t you tell Xingye multiple times, your man hit you, and your life was hard, that’s why he went to see you?"

"If he wasn’t constantly running to the county to find me, why would I tell him that? He came to find me, wasn’t it to get some money? How could I have money for him?"

"I didn’t ask you for money, and you never gave me a penny!" Jiang Xingye said stubbornly.

A production team member said, "Didn’t you claim Jiang Xiaowu went to your house to steal? He was actually visiting you!"

Ma Zilan then realized her mistake, over the years, her initial vigilance had long faded. The truth slipped out without her thinking.

Ma Zilan hated Xu Qinghuan with a gnashing of teeth, had it not been for this woman, would she have told the truth?

"I didn’t give him money, so he came to my house to steal!" Ma Zilan’s face showed discomfort, lying in front of her son was still not easy.

But her unease fell under everyone’s scrutiny, raising doubts in many hearts.

Back then, many from the production team going to the county were pulled aside by her to hear tales of Jiang Xingye’s misdeeds.

Xu Qinghuan said coldly, "Since you’re not telling the truth, let your stepson stay put at the police station."
