The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 156 - 152: Mrs. Xiao: I Had My Moment of Glory, But It Didn’t Last Long…

Chapter 156: Chapter 152: Mrs. Xiao: I Had My Moment of Glory, But It Didn’t Last Long...

Mrs. Xiao suddenly stopped.

She looked at Zhou Wei, "Girl, you’re young, pretty, and smart.

But don’t misuse your cleverness. This time, considering Matchmaker Zhou, I won’t hold it against you, but next time..."

Zhou Wei swallowed and looked up pitifully, "Aunt, I... I don’t understand what you’re saying. Even if my aunt misunderstood what you meant and did something wrong, what’s done is done.

It can’t involve me too..."

"Ha ha," Mrs. Xiao didn’t spare any face, "Even an old fox has to show its true form before me, not to mention a little fox like you who’s still in training."

She continued condescendingly, "I don’t care or mind what you’re thinking. But if you’re planning to scheme against my family, that won’t do.

I don’t like people like you, so just keep a low profile from now on."

Saying this, Mrs. Xiao arrogantly tossed her head back and pulled Wen Ran along to leave. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Stop!"

The captain was trembling with anger, "You cause such a mess and want to run? Get back here!"

Mrs. Xiao: "..."

She took Wen Ran and went back reluctantly.

Mrs. Xiao, Wen Ran, Xiao Chenxing, and Hongguo stood in a row to be scolded.

"Um," Xiao Chenxing quietly raised his hand, "Uncle, I know you’re angry, but please don’t be angry first.

The fight was between my mom and Sister Ranran; Hongguo and I didn’t do anything."

Captain: "..."

This left him utterly confused.

He waved his hand, "Then you two go stand aside!"

Hongguo wanted to stay and stand together with Wen Ran, but Wen Ran kicked her away.

Joking aside, no one’s bored enough to get themselves scolded for nothing.

Besides, scolding two people is different from scolding four.

The sooner it ends, the sooner we go home ~

After criticizing Mrs. Xiao and Wen Ran, he turned and scolded Matchmaker Zhou and Zhou Wei fiercely.

Wen Ran: "~"

Ah~ That feels better.

Indeed, without comparison, there’s no harm.

Finally, Mrs. Xiao was penalized to compensate Matchmaker Zhou and her niece with three eggs, and the matter was settled.

Mrs. Xiao didn’t care about the three eggs, and even felt daring.

Ah, just got beaten, only cost three eggs, seems worth it!

"Spring plowing is soon, it’s the biggest event of the year. From now on, if anyone does something stupid again, don’t blame me for being harsh and unrecognizable!"

The captain sternly said: "Some people, keep your hearts from being too dark! If you’re going to plot against others, at least refine your methods. If this nonsense continues, don’t blame me for reporting to the commune and sending you for labor reform!"

"Day after day, with such strength, not knowing to use it in the fields, but only scheming harmful things."

He scolded and then turned on Zhou Wei sarcastically.

"Zhou Family’s kid? Which brigade are you from? It’s already spring plowing, don’t you know to go back? Your aunt’s life isn’t easy, don’t drag her down for no reason in the future."

Zhou Wei’s face turned blue and white, "Uncle Bi, I..."

"Stop stop stop, what uncle? Don’t come up with those useless things, go back tomorrow. If you don’t go, I’ll find your captain."

"No!" Zhou Wei said tearfully, "Captain, I... I’ll leave tomorrow."

"Hmm, I’ll check tomorrow. If you haven’t left..."

The captain didn’t finish his sentence, snorted, and left with his hands behind his back.

Before he left, he didn’t forget to disdain Matchmaker Zhou, "I thought you didn’t have much brains before, now it seems I’m right.

Lived like a fool for years, both dumb and evil. In this brigade, if you can go on, fine; if not, then return to your mother’s home. Our brigade can’t accommodate your kind!"

He said and turned away.

The Xiao Family left, the captain left too, once the fun was over, the crowd dispersed as well.

Just before leaving, they didn’t forget to mock Matchmaker Zhou and her niece.

"Really, how could a matchmaker do such a thing? Ruining marriages, she’ll be punished by heaven."

"Hey, you’re also dumb, haven’t you figured it out? The root lies in that little girl named Zhou Wei.

Tsk tsk tsk, saw her pretty before, spoke elegantly, pleasing to the eye.

Thought it’d be great to pair her with my son, but now, forget it; she twists words, does wrong but isn’t wrong, always someone else’s fault."

"Indeed, this girl is really poisonous~"

"But, with Xiao Family getting along with Wen Ran, that’s quite surprising."

"What’s surprising? Haven’t you noticed? I realized early on, these two families are quite close! Even spent New Year together, if not close, how could they do that..."

The crowd chatted and left Matchmaker Zhou and Zhou Wei behind.

Matchmaker Zhou, being older, staggered up. Though Zhou Wei was hurt, she climbed up quickly.

She tried to help Matchmaker Zhou, but Matchmaker Zhou avoided her quietly.

"Aunt?"

Zhou Wei couldn’t believe it, "You, you are..."

"Nothing," after being beaten and scolded, Matchmaker Zhou cleared her mind.

She worked so desperately...

Matchmaker Zhou shook her head and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, your matters shouldn’t have been handled by me. I am your aunt, not your parents.

The brigade is busy with spring plowing, I, as a matchmaker, must also go to the fields. If you have no issues, go back tomorrow.

Our captain is a person who keeps his word, if he sees you haven’t left tomorrow, you’ll truly be embarrassed."

"Aunt..."

~

Arriving at the Xiao house, Mr. Xiao had shrewdly prepared hot water, waiting for Mrs. Xiao to bathe.

Mrs. Xiao: "..."

Ah~

He’s so perceptive, she originally wanted to scold him for not intervening in the fight, but now she couldn’t find the words.

"Hmph~"

"Ah, hurry and wash," Mr. Xiao smiled, "I couldn’t help much by going, so why not prepare some hot water.

Now you’re back, you can enjoy a hot bath to relax."

"At least you have some sense."

Turning, Mrs. Xiao said to Wen Ran, "It’s my fault, I should have explained everything to you from the start."

"How can you blame yourself," Wen Ran smiled, "Clearly, they were the ones with bad minds."

"Sigh, ultimately it’s because I couldn’t recognize people clearly."

"..."

After chatting for a while, Wen Ran left with Hongguo, not forgetting to take Songzhu.

If she forgot him this time, with his temper...

He’d probably hang himself at her bedside early the next morning.

Songzhu still perched on Wen Ran’s shoulder, crunching chestnuts, and Hongguo listened to the chirping, laughing, "Sis, actually what Xiao Family did, was quite alright."

"It was alright!"

Anyway, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao passed the test.

But Mr. Xiao was really interesting to think of heating water at home.

Ah!
