Chapter 403: Chapter 403 The Money Jar Incident 1

The villagers all knew Zhou Lanfang’s temperament and were dissatisfied with the way she cursed at others.

It was already Zhou Lanfang’s fault for not allowing the child to take the test, not to mention claiming Shen Mianmian took off with a lot of money—who would believe such a thing?

A child, where would they get so much money?

Isn’t this just extortion?

"Jianhua, you better drag her back home! Stop humiliating yourself here."

An old bachelor from the village, who normally spoke very bluntly and wasn’t afraid of offending anyone, looked at Shen Jianhua with disdain.

Having a wife like that is worse than remaining a bachelor. A grown man nearly dominated by his wife—it’s just pathetic.

"How am I embarrassing myself? Who are you saying is humiliating themselves? What’s it to you anyway? You can’t even find a wife in your fifties, and you have the nerve to meddle in other people’s business. You better take care of your own issues first! It’s the end of your family line with you."

Livid, Zhou Lanfang began to point and yell at the heckler when she heard the old bachelor accuse her of being humiliating.

She wasn’t afraid of a bachelor.

"You son of a bitch, who are you saying has no descendants? I’ll beat you to death, you wretched woman, believe it or not!" The old bachelor was also provoked by Zhou Lanfang. Being alone and without any reputation to uphold, he squared up as if ready to strike Zhou Lanfang.

"Hit me then! Go ahead and hit me!" Zhou Lanfang, shrugging off Shen Jianhua’s attempts to hold her back, lunged toward the old bachelor, "if you dare, hit me! Go on, hit me!"

The onlookers all watched with interest, not a single one interjected, nor did anyone try to break up the fight.

The old bachelor, however, did not lay a hand on her. Though shameless, he didn’t dare to scuffle recklessly. After all, the others had their whole families, while he was on his own.

Being old and a bachelor, one is naturally prone to being disliked. If he fought here and there, life would only get harder.

"Jianhua, what are you standing there for? Pull her back home! You’re both in your fifties and from the same village. Isn’t it humiliating to be seen like this by others?" Even though Li Chunhua was annoyed by Zhou Lanfang, her husband was the village chief. If the two families really fought, her husband would have to help settle things afterward, so she wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the drama.

As for just now, had it not been for Zhou Lanfang grabbing her to fight, she wouldn’t have gotten into a scuffle with her.

"How am I humiliating myself? It’s none of your business, so none of you should interfere. Doesn’t every household have their own issues? The thing with Old Liu and Erzhuang’s wife, isn’t that more humiliating than mine? There’s also..."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Shen Jianhua’s face turned green with anger.

His wife was about to make enemies of the entire village!

While everyone knew about the situation between Old Liu and Erzhuang’s wife, no one would be foolish enough to shout it out loud.

"I’m not talking nonsense; you know about it too, don’t you?" Zhou Lanfang, caught up in her anger, disregarded any consideration and shouted wildly, "Weren’t you at the village entrance when you saw them kissing each other?"

Shen Jianhua was almost choked with fury, his face turning red and green, feeling as if he was stripped naked in front of everyone. He simply covered her mouth and, forgetting the bicycle, dragged her home.

Only when they reached home did he let go of Zhou Lanfang. Dragged all the way home, Zhou Lanfang’s anger deepened upon seeing the smashed door. She cursed without restraint.

"Shen Jianhua, are you even a man? When someone was about to hit your wife, you didn’t help, and you dragged me back instead. Marrying you has been my misfortune for eight lifetimes. If it hadn’t been for your family’s poverty, I wouldn’t have been reduced to not being able to have children. Now, at this age, I still have to put up with this humiliation with you."
