Chapter 152: Chapter 154: Wang Family Files a Complaint_1

Wang Family’s words hit Nan Feng like a slap in the face.

Just yesterday, she was rejected by Ye Ge. Marriage? That doesn’t seem likely anymore.

Yet, Nan Feng managed to smile at Wang Family and say, "Auntie Wang, I’m not trying to poke my nose into your business, but stealing is a crime that can lead to jail time. First, you steal from Zhou Er’s place, and then from someone else’s. What’s next, my family’s turn? You’re a mother, and you should be setting a good example for your children. What will happen if they grow up and follow in your footsteps of laziness and theft?"

"..." Wang Family was so furious she couldn’t speak.

...

Inside the renovated mansion.

Wang Family returned to the courtyard with her water bucket, too angry to cook.

At midday, Zhou Lao Da and his children returned from the fields. Seeing that the stove was still cold, Zhou Lao Da grabbed the broom in anger. "Damn you, the kids and I damn near broke our backs in the fields, and you just sit around doing nothing? Without food, how am I supposed to have the strength to work in the afternoon? Are you actively trying to starve this family?"

Normally, Wang Family would argue back with Zhou Lao Da, but this time she was too distraught to argue, she just cried.

"Why are you crying? I’m the one who hasn’t eaten, and you’re crying?" Zhou Lao Da raised the broom to hit her, but Wang Family cried out, "Go ahead, hit me, just kill me! I’m always being blamed for everything. Fine if I’m bullied by outsiders, but you bully me too, I might as well die in this well if it weren’t for our children!"

Outside, Zhou Dongdong and her siblings were terrified. Zhou Dongdong knew Zhou Lao Da’s temper and didn’t dare to intervene for fear that she would end up being hit.

Zhou Lao Da continued to berate Wang Family, "What the hell is wrong with you? Who’s bullying you? Isn’t it always you who bullies others?"

Wang Family said, "It’s all because of that girl Nan Feng. She has done a couple of village favors and now she thinks she’s all that. You know I’ve been suffering from back pain lately and didn’t want to carry water from the river. I just wanted to get some from their pond, but Nan Feng spotted me and called me a thief. She threatened to turn me into the authorities and have me jailed. She said she has connections in the town hall, that same government official who came last time, I bet. If I go to jail, who would cook for you and the children?"

After hearing Wang Family’s explanation, Zhou Lao Da was taken aback.

"That, that girl really said that? She’s going to turn you in and send you to prison?" Zhou Lao Da asked.

"Yes she did. She also accused me of stealing from that old man’s garden. He cut those vegetables and left them out, so I thought he was throwing them away. Who knew he was waiting for us to take the bait."

"Damn him!" Zhou Lao Da flung the broom aside. It landed near Zhou Dongdong and her siblings, making them jump.

With teary eyes, Wang Family said, "Dad, you have to stand up for me. I won’t be able to live with the disgrace of being jailed by a girl, at my age. I’d rather just die."

Zhou Lao Da said, "Alright, go cook, and after we eat, I’ll figure out what to do. I might need to discuss this with Lao Er."

With that, Wang Family hurried off to cook.

...

At night.

Zhou Lao Da lit the oil lamp. The children were asleep, leaving only the couple waiting inside the room.

They were waiting for Zhou Lao Er and his wife.
