The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 89: Annoying Without Knowing It

"Brother Jiang, the village will be giving out fish today. My mom’s braised fish is especially delicious. Come to my house for a meal."

"Brother Jiang, what are you looking at? What’s so interesting about fishing? I have something good here, look this way..."

"Brother Jiang..."

"Brother Jiang, why are you ignoring me..." Zhang Hongfang was becoming anxious. She had been talking for a while, yet Brother Jiang seemed indifferent. She reached out, trying to grab Jiang Yan’s arm.

Jiang Yan dodged swiftly, frowning as he exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, please have some self-respect!"

With one shout of "Sister-in-law, have some self-respect!" he categorized her as a married woman, expressing his disdain and warning for her previous actions.

There were already quite a few people gathered around them who witnessed Zhang Hongfang’s actions and heard Jiang Yan’s response. Someone couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

A woman couldn’t bear it any longer and kindly reminded, "Xiao Fang, he’s not interested in you. Throwing yourself at him is useless, better hurry home."

But Zhang Hongfang’s face turned red with anger, "Mind your own business! You’re just like a dog catching mice, meddlesome. Who do you think you are?"

The woman was an aunt from a separate branch of Zhang Hongfang’s family. She kindly advised Zhang Hongfang as an elder, hoping she would restrain herself a bit, but didn’t expect to be met with harsh words. Feeling choked with anger, she saw Li Yinfeng not far away and shouted, "Li Yinfeng, hurry over! Your daughter is only doing things that embarrass the Zhang Family. Quickly take her home, it’s such a disgrace..."

Li Yinfeng had just heard the commotion and quickly headed toward the crowd.

Nearby, Liu Yulan and Zhou Fengjuan also saw Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Yan at the center of the gathering, "Sister-in-law, I’ll go check it out."

"Let’s go together..." With gossip to watch, Zhou Fengjuan naturally didn’t want to fall behind.

The two of them put down their tasks and headed over there.

Wang Miaomiao, seeing the situation wasn’t right, wanted to leave, "Brother Jiang, let’s go."

"Alright!" Jiang Yan frowned tightly, annoyed by this sudden farce.

Zhang Hongfang saw the two were about to leave and naturally didn’t want them to. She stepped forward, trying to pull them back, "Brother Jiang, don’t go yet, listen to me..."

Just as Jiang Yan was about to dodge, someone moved faster, "Slap..." Wang Miaomiao stepped forward, blocking Jiang Yan, and slapped Zhang Hongfang’s hand away.

"Wang Miaomiao, what are you doing? Get lost." From Zhang Hongfang’s perspective, it seemed the two were leaning against each other, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Actually, there was still a fist’s distance between the two... not too far, not too close either.

Wang Miaomiao wasn’t daunted, sternly retorted, "It’s you who should leave. Brother Jiang doesn’t even know who you are. Where do you get the nerve to call out Brother Jiang like that? Sister-in-law!"

"You, you little vixen." Zhang Hongfang was so angry that she couldn’t help but bare her teeth and claws, ready to hit Wang Miaomiao.

Fortunately, people nearby held her back.

Wang Miaomiao stared fearlessly, looking ready for a fight, "You’re the weasel here, with sneaky eyes and a foul stench from head to toe, especially your mouth. Hasn’t been brushed in ten days, dare to show such a face?"

"I’ll kill you..." Zhang Hongfang went insane with anger, like a young calf, charging head down toward Wang Miaomiao.

Once again, she was held back by others.

Failing twice, she flailed her hands like a madwoman, "Let me go, let me go, all of you get lost."

People nearby were attacked indiscriminately, many were hit or scratched by her. Annoyed, they stepped back, a meter away, some cursing her, "This girl is crazy."

At this time, Li Yinfeng squeezed through the crowd, "Xiao Fang, what are you doing? Go home now."

She went forward to pull her daughter’s hand, but Zhang Hongfang, with tear-red eyes, pushed her away, almost making her fall, luckily someone behind caught her.

This incident made everyone even more displeased with Zhang Hongfang, criticizing her behavior.

"Xiao Fang, are you crazy? How can you push your mom?"

"Yin Feng, you really need to discipline your daughter, she’s acting outrageously, even daring to hit you."

"Exactly, exactly. Meet a man and start opening your legs. A grown girl just calls out Brother Jiang without him responding, and then tries to force herself on him, tsk tsk..."

Zhang Hongfang stood helplessly amidst the crowd, faced with the criticisms, she panicked, wishing she could bury herself in a hole.

But beyond panic, she felt even more indignant and resentful. Her eyes were filled with hatred, convinced it was all Wang Miaomiao’s fault, completely twisting her heart with anger and injustice.

The crowd repeated the events amidst ridicule and scorn, echoing continuously.

Latecomers quickly understood what happened as Liu Yulan pushed to the center, looking at her daughter, "Miao Miao, Xiao Jiang, are you alright?"

"We’re fine," Wang Miaomiao and Jiang Yan both shook their heads in response.

Feeling reassured, Liu Yulan turned to Zhang Hongfang and Li Yinfeng with disdainful eyes, "Shameless creatures, clinging to anything rotten. Xiao Jiang is a Beijinger, as if he’d fancy someone like you, have you looked in the mirror?"

Li Yinfeng felt terrible inside, but seeing her daughter being criticized couldn’t bear it and stepped up to defend, "Liu Yulan, enough, my Xiao Fang was just momentarily misled, do you have to be so harsh..."

"Fine, I won’t criticize her, I’ll criticize you. When the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. You should go home and reflect. It’s not like I haven’t stated it multiple times — Xiao Jiang won’t choose someone here. Don’t tell me you didn’t know. Letting your daughter chase after him, how desperate are you to marry her off? Huh? You’ve brought shame to our entire Shanghuang Village in Old Beijing..."

Li Yinfeng, criticized, remained silent, knowing that Liu Yulan’s words were true, she also felt embarrassed.

Brimming with anger, she glared at Zhang Hongfang, cursing her stubbornness, causing such a public scene. How would she find a decent family in the future...

"Mom, let’s go home." Wang Miaomiao suggested, tugging her mother’s clothing after she’d said enough.

Liu Yulan quieted down, nodded, and told the crowd, "Sorry for the spectacle, it’s all over now, everyone disperse, go on with your own tasks, don’t block here."

The crowd, having seen enough of the drama, dispersed in small groups.

Liu Yulan turned to Zhou Fengjuan, "Sister-in-law, I’ll take Xiao Jiang home to calm down, I’ll be back soon."

"Okay, go ahead." Zhou Fengjuan, after watching the drama, felt quite pleased.
