Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 303: The Hu Family’s Intrigues and the Mo Wu Family’s Requests (5)_1

On the third day, the business in the shop was about the same as the previous two days, items like eggs and mixed grains, however, sold better than before.

Whether it was because they were intimidated by Lizhong or for some other reason, the Zhang Family didn’t come to make trouble again. However, given their nature, it was impossible for them to just let things be, and Mo Yan didn’t lower her guard.

At this moment, the Zhang Family, under the machinations of Mo Yan, was experiencing quite a dramatic scene! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Well done, Zhang Ming, still eyeing another pot while eating from one. If you dare to bring her back, I’ll immediately take Baobao and leave, and then you can spend your days with a hen that doesn’t lay eggs!"

Yao Taohua gritted her teeth as she spoke, her long pointed nails digging fiercely into Zhang Ming’s arm.

Shrinking back, Zhang Ming winced and pleaded, "Wife, you’ve misunderstood. That woman has already been divorced by me. How could I possibly bring her back? Someone must want us to turn against each other and is deliberately stirring trouble in front of you. You can’t fall for it!"

"Bullshit!" Seeing that he dared to lie, Yao Taohua pinched him even harder, "I’ve already asked around. You went looking for her the day before yesterday, and again yesterday! Your mother threw tantrums on the ground, losing face completely. Do you think everyone else is blind!"

The thought of this useless man wanting to bring back the woman he had left filled Yao Taohua with such rage that she wanted to strangle him to death. If that woman really returned, wouldn’t she become the lesser wife? Even though she looked down on this man, she wouldn’t allow anyone to compete with her.

"Ah—Wife, please, loosen your grip, it hurts, it’s killing me!" Zhang Ming screamed, clearly in extreme pain.

With a vicious look, Yao Taohua declared, "Hurts? You know what pain feels like? If you don’t tell me the truth, I might as well choke you to death!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Ming let out another painful scream, mixed with his incessant pleas for mercy.

Lying in bed with a twisted ankle, the matriarch of the Hu family listened to her son’s screams, one after another, her heart aching unbearably. She detested Yao Taohua’s fierceness to the extreme. But now, being bedridden with her injury, she was utterly powerless to save her suffering son.

Yao Taohua, with her fiery character and the son she had borne to the Zhang family, held herself very arrogantly. With Zhang Fugui around, he could restrain her to some extent. But now, with Zhang Fugui locked up in jail, using filial duties to pressure her was utterly useless.

"It’s a sin, truly a sin!" The matriarch of the Hu family slapped the bed, her face covered with snot and tears, "Shouldn’t have divorced, shouldn’t have divorced!"

At this moment, she profoundly regretted letting Yao Taohua enter their household. Originally, she should have allowed Yao Taohua to give birth and then sent her away with some silver, leaving the child to be raised by the tirelessly devoted Lixiu. Lixiu was much easier to control than Yao Taohua, and with a child in place, there was no way she could escape from her grasp.

Right, the child! The matriarch of the Hu family’s eyes brightened. If Lixiu couldn’t bear a child, the old Lizhong certainly couldn’t leave her to fend for herself for the rest of her life. If Yao Taohua were driven away and the child given to Lixiu to raise, the old man would be too grateful to object, wouldn’t he? In the end, wouldn’t the shop still return to the hands of her Zhang family?

With this thought, the matriarch of the Hu family’s mind became active, her eyes rolling about as she listened to Yao Taohua’s arrogant cursing, her face filled with loathing. As for driving away Yao Taohua and separating mother and child, she felt no guilt whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Yao Taohua, who was still in the courtyard beating Zhang Ming, had no idea of the matriarch of the Hu family’s sinister intentions. Holding Zhang Ming by the ear, she scolded, "If you dare to go looking for that woman again, I’ll cripple you, and you won’t even be a man anymore!"

"Wife, I really, really didn’t!"

Zhang Ming trembled from the pain, regretting more than ever that in a moment of folly, he had married such a shrew. His Lixiu used to be so gentle, such an agreeable woman—how could he have divorced her!
