The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 155 - 151: Wen Ran: Sowing Chaos in Troubled Waters Today

Chapter 155: Chapter 151: Wen Ran: Sowing Chaos in Troubled Waters Today

Zhou Wei flinched. She wanted to run, but Mrs. Xiao grabbed her hair and pulled her back.

"You little tramp. Normally, I wouldn’t want to quarrel with you all. But your Zhou Family has really behaved despicably. What did my Xiao Family ever do to offend you?

You’re really not wishing us well, are you? What, did the Xiao Family dig up your ancestors’ graves?"

The aunt and niece duo were beaten so badly they cried for their parents. It’s not like they didn’t think about fighting back, it’s just that Mrs. Xiao had eaten well and was full of strength, plus she was filled with rage.

She directly suppressed them with an all-out attack. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

If they dared to raise a hand, Mrs. Xiao would slap their hand away and retaliate with two slaps.

Might as well just shrink away, getting hit less that way.

"Alright," Wen Ran was afraid Mrs. Xiao might end up causing trouble, so she stepped forward and pulled her, "Auntie, don’t be angry. Isn’t everything fine with us?"

Mrs. Xiao was panting heavily, "We’re fine now—because of you. You trust the integrity of my family. What does it have to do with them?"

No way, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Mrs. Xiao rushed over and kicked them again, finally finishing the matter.

Matchmaker Zhou and Zhou Wei hugged each other sobbing, their faces swollen from slaps, yet still stubborn.

"Boo-hoo, when I said Wen Ran was no good earlier, you didn’t refute me! Didn’t I think we were good friends, old sisters?

You encountered a tough situation, I should try to help out, right? You’re embarrassed to say it, so I risked my old face to speak for you.

What? I tried to help and made a mistake?"

Matchmaker Zhou was indeed skilled in rhetoric, a few sentences with tears made it seem like Mrs. Xiao was the guilty one.

"Don’t give me that. Even if you were trying to help me, as a matchmaker, don’t you know how to convey messages subtly? You and your little tramp niece spoke every word with provocation.

Old hag, you’re like a conniving fox with tricks, but I’ll tear you apart..."

Seeing Mrs. Xiao’s eyes turn red, everyone hurriedly rushed to separate the two groups.

Spectating is one thing.

But it’s necessary to be cautious.

"Oh my, hurry and get the team leader! We can’t hold them back much longer."

"Ah~ Matchmaker Zhou you old hag, we’re trying to help you, why are you hitting everyone indiscriminately?"

"Already called, the team leader will be here soon!"

The scene was chaotic, Wen Ran pushed Xiao Chenxing and Hongguo out, while she stayed with Mrs. Xiao in the fray.

Hmm~ She wasn’t leading today, but she was quite adept at assisting.

Anyone who tried to pull at Mrs. Xiao, she’d push their hands away—in short, ensuring Mrs. Xiao didn’t get hurt.

Of course, amidst the chaos, she gave Matchmaker Zhou two kicks.

For discriminating against Wen Ran, two kicks for you.

When the team leader came running as if his life depended on it, seeing the scene before him made him feel as if the heavens were collapsing.

Spring plowing was about to start, why couldn’t anyone conduct themselves well?

"Everyone, stop right now!" The team leader shouted, veins on his neck bursting as he yelled, "I’d like to see anyone who dares to continue!"

"Oh! The team leader is here!"

Except for Mrs. Xiao who was still pulling at Matchmaker Zhou, everyone else loosened their grips.

"Enough!"

The team leader started scolding, Wen Ran instantly pulled Mrs. Xiao back three steps, revealing Matchmaker Zhou, sitting on the ground covered in dust, her hair looking like a bird’s nest.

Her face was bruised and battered, looking at the team leader, she let out a heart-wrenching cry.

"Boo-hoo-hoo, I can’t live anymore, I’ve lived most of my life matchmaking countless couples. Everyone for miles around praises me!"

She kicked her legs, slapped the ground, lamenting, "Old now, yet still bullied like this! Boo-hoo-hoo~ life is ~ so ~ unfair~~~"

The team leader: "..."

Really admirable she could turn this into a song.

Mrs. Xiao furiously said, "I am the justice, and I’ll give you a brick!"

The team leader: "Enough, can you stop causing trouble? What exactly is going on here!"

The members excitedly shared, everyone chimed in, recounting what just happened.

Once the team leader heard the whole story, he was truly speechless.

Matchmaker Zhou practically self-sabotaged, and today’s beating was deserved.

"Really now," the team leader was disgruntled, "at your age, what else could you do, but resort to such despicable acts!"

"I didn’t!" Matchmaker Zhou, stubbornly defending herself, "It’s clearly her being unreasonable, I helped, but she hit back!"

"If you keep saying..."

"Oh stop!" The team leader was blunt, "The Xiao Family is quite satisfied with Wen Ran, why do you think Song Shilan left without a word.

She simply doesn’t want anything to do with you. This is a Xiao Family celebration, involving you, a jinx, what’s the point?"

"Who says that?" Matchmaker Zhou still denied it, "You weren’t there, how do you know? I think you’re biased, believing the Xiao Family has promise, you’re ingratiating yourself with them.

Coming to bully me, a poor widow," She started to sing again.

Sobbing about her unfortunate husband, said he died too early.

If he hadn’t died, she wouldn’t be bullied like this~

The team leader sighed with a mix of amusement and disappointment.

"I don’t need to ingratiate myself with the Xiao Family, I just speak the truth as the team leader of our great team. After finding you that day, Song Shilan came to talk to me. Had it not been for the youngest son going out temporarily, they might have sorted everything and even discussed dowries."

These words struck Matchmaker Zhou like lightning, she was incredulous, "Wh-what?"

She was stunned, never thought Song Shilan would be so rash about her son’s affairs.

Even after her constant persuasion, none of it mattered to Song Shilan.

The team leader felt disappointed and frustrated, "You’re an elder in this community, really..."

Matchmaker Zhou was stunned, Mrs. Xiao regained her composure, deeply exhaled, fixed her disheveled hair, and said aloud, "Matchmaker Zhou, no matter what schemes you have, you better keep them buried.

Should I ever discover you causing trouble again, it’s won’t end like today’s ordeal, it won’t just pass."

After saying this, Mrs. Xiao smirked, "Actually, you are quite pitiable, doing wrong and defending yourself with a man who died years ago.

Yet, have you ever thought, had it not been for his early drinking which led to his death, could you have endured today’s life?"

Matchmaker Zhou froze, suddenly realizing her husband wasn’t shielding her from the elements but was the one bringing storms into her life.

"I..."

Mrs. Xiao, weary, "Enough, Matchmaker Zhou, each person has their own path, from now on let’s go our separate ways."

After venting out her anger, she spotted Zhou Wei sniffing at the back of the crowd, suddenly feeling vexed again.

Matchmaker Zhou may have some malicious intent, but the old woman also had a tendency—she was cowardly.

So...

The true culprit.

Involved someone else.
