The Lady’s Sickly Husband
chapter-34

Chapter 34: Want to Go, No Way! Translator: Antonia

The village head had long given up presiding over the situation, sipping his tea that someone had served, as if he didn’t hear anything at all.

Elder Wanger took a glimpse at Zhao Ergou, “Then…”

This Zhao Ergou was never a reliable person. If there was really hard proof, the situation couldn’t be turned around at all.

Zhao Ergou could tell that elder Wanger decided to take his side, so he shouted in an unbridled way, “Why question? It’s been so many days; the food has fucking…”

Mo Qianxue cut off his filthy words with a sneer, “What? You’re afraid of being questioned? Why?”

By these words, Zhao Ergou shouted out of agitation, “I’m not afraid! Come and question me!”

“Elders, what do you think?”

“Since Zhao Ergou claims he’s not guilty, then call up your witnesses.”

“Sister Fang…”

“Elders, this woman is not trustworthy!” Sister Zhao had completely shaken off her former weak dying look and rose to her feet, panicked, “Who doesn’t know that she is Ning’s servant!”

That day when she was stealing the beef, there wasn’t a person in the yard. But this sister Fang is Ning’s neighbor. She might really have seen her.

“Shit! You shameless thing is a dog servant.” Sister Fang walked out from the crowd, followed by two boys. She despised sister Zhao, “Open up your dog eyes and look who our witnesses are!”

Sister Zhao brought her eyes to rest on the people behind her, a little surprised, “You two little stupid children, what are you doing here?”

Mo Qianxue replied, “Of course, they are here to testify for me. As for what you ate that day, others don’t know, but the two children are very clear. They are most qualified to be the witnesses, right elder Wanger?”

“Sure!” Seeing these two boys, elder Wanger’s heart rested assured.

Zhao Ergou so feared his children would say words disadvantageous to him that he distorted his face to make gestures to them, “It’s been so long, the children can’t remember that we four all ate ‘tofu’ that day. Luckily, our children didn’t eat too much, so they didn’t suffer. Otherwise, you must…”

Zhao Dafei was twelve years old. He wasn’t too tall but went to be a footman for the vogues such as Li Kaishi. He totally ignored his father’s expression and reminder, taking a step forward, “Dad. Brother and I did eat tofu that day, but what you and mom ate was beef!”

He had already been dissatisfied about his parent because on that day they didn’t allow him to eat the delicious appetizing beef. Besides, later they had made such a scene, which also brought shame to him. Now as long as he walked out of home, there would be people who laughed at him. He had been so annoyed by it and felt ashamed and embarrassed to have such parents.

The two children had learnt all the bad habits from their parents, and the core idea was to take advantage. They never knew what filial piety was. Now, since he was telling the truth, he felt more justified to talk his mind. In addition, sister Fang had promised him that as long as he told the truth, he would be rewarded. Since long ago, he was dissatisfied about his parents, let alone now he really needed money.

“You stupid child, what are you talking about?” Zhao Ergou was stunned, and elder Wanger’s face changed.

Sister Zhao trembled, “The child knew nothing and talked nonsense…”

Mo Qianxue interrupted with a sneer, “I think you’re the one talking nonsense…”

After years of struggling in modern business circle, how could she participate in a battle without preparation?

A person like sister Zhao would definitely try her best to gain benefits if she felt herself losing something. But Mo Qianxue didn’t expect that she should be so greedy and vicious. She should let her kneel down and kowtow, compensate with money, offer tofu recipe and lost her reputation…

She had already inquired about the deeds and character of these two Zhao boys and made a full preparation. Originally, she found herself too relentless to let their own sons come out to testify against them, but now, judging from the situation, this was far from enough!

What could be more painful than being sold out by the children they raised up on their own? The creep couple remained astonished for a while before beginning to curse and beat Zhao Dafei.

Zhao Dafei had hated them, so the harder they beat and cursed him, the more disgusting things he revealed such as stealing, maltreating parents and in-laws and so on…. Pouring out all the filthy things even gave him a kind of pleasure.

Every time he disclosed one thing, there would be a uproar of discussion among the crowd.

“It turned out Zhao Ergou did that…”

“Zhao Ergou’s wife is so shameless. It was she who took the thing, but she just didn’t admit it…”

When dog eat dog, no one got dirty.

Elder Wanger was irritated and embarrassed, “Shut up!”

Stopping the fighting three people, he then turned to the second Zhao son, “Xiaofei, tell me that your family ate tofu on that day.” The tofu was specially stressed. The warning and threat was very obvious.

Shame that Zhao Xiaofei was too young that being scared by elder Wanger like this, he immediately told all the truth.

“Grandpa Wanger, on that day, really, brother and I ate tofu, but mom and dad ate beef…the beef smelled so delicious…” He clearly remembered the appetizing smell. He also wanted to take a taste, but Zhao Ergou beat him with chopsticks in the hand. It really hurt.

Hearing this, the strength of elder Wanger seemed to be drained up.

If only Zhao Dafei claimed so, they could still deny, but even this younger son said the same, then they constituted hard proof.

“Head and elders. The matter is very clear already. The disgusting diseases the couple suffered had nothing to do with tofu.”

Things went around. Elder Wanger waved and yelled at the creep couple, “Made a scene here before making it clear. Apologize to Mrs. Ning, at once, and go away…”

Want to go like this? No way!

Mo Qianxue’s eyes shot freezing beams and cut off elder Wanger’s speech, “Wait. I have one more question. I hope head and elders could do me justice.”

Seeing his plan failed, elder Wanger replied impatiently, “What?”

Mo Qianxue started calmly, “My husband was in poor health. I guess everyone knows this. On that day, I asked the assistant of Baiyunju to buy me some beef and medicine to supply nutrition to my husband. But on the same day, the beef and medicine disappeared while Zhao Ergou happened to eat beef. I want to know where they get the beef…”

Her tone was cold but resolute, showing not a bit the kind of weakness an ancient woman was supposed to have. Instead, what she displayed was a powerful presence, which instantly started elder Wanger and fixed him at where he stood.
