Chapter 1052: Chapter 1057: Evil Begets Evil
The Feng Clan spoke with a smile that did not reach her eyes, "I still feel that Heaven has eyes, it won’t wrongly accuse any good person, nor will it let a single bad person go, this is called karma, right?"
These people abandoned their companion, their behavior was reprehensible.
Someday, retribution would find them.
"Auntie is right, Brother Zi Wen is a good man; he’s surely blessed," Shi Yongli said with a smile.
But he felt uncomfortable inside as if there was a hidden meaning in those words.
After a few words, the Feng Clan led them to the guest room.
"Zi Wen is staying here now, wait here," the Feng Clan knocked on the door, "Da Niuer, Zi Wen’s classmate is here to see him, is it convenient for them to come in?"
Shi Yongli smiled scornfully, not expecting Zhang Ziwen, the bookish nerd, to have such luck.
He had become a fool, yet the girl was still determinedly devoted to him.
Whereas he, who was hundreds of times better than Zhang Ziwen, did not have a single girl willing to spare him a glance to this day.
He had heard that the Tie Family’s girl was the Store Manager at Duo Meifang, earning two taels of silver or more each month; if he could win this woman’s favor, he would never have to worry about money again.
The girl busy wringing out a towel snorted, were these people, who had abandoned Zhang Ziwen back then, now here with fake concern?
She did not care for it one bit, but since they had come all this way, she could not let them leave empty-handed.
"You’ll have to wait a moment, Mother, go make some tea first," the big girl said through the door.
The Feng Clan, unsuspecting, agreed and headed to the kitchen to make tea.
But she had only taken a few steps when she heard a splash, followed by a collective shriek.
She hurriedly turned around to find that the big girl had doused these people with a bucket of water.
"We kindly came to see Brother Zi Wen, how could you treat us like this?"
"Exactly, we’ve come all this way to see him, how could you treat us like this?"
"Indeed, women and villains are difficult to raise; do you know what the ’Three Obediences and Four Virtues’ are?"
"As the saying goes, ’A virtuous wife means less trouble for her husband,’ the ancients indeed did not deceive us!"
All five of them were very dissatisfied, each rebuking the big girl.
The big girl sneered, "My Zi Wen said he didn’t want to see any of you hypocrites; you abandoned Zi Wen, nearly costing him his life, what right do you have to visit him now?"
They were just there for the sake of their own reputations.
She wasn’t foolish; why should she accommodate these people?
"You can eat messily, but words can’t be spoken recklessly; we were scattered by the mountain bandits at the time; we couldn’t think of much else," Shi Yongli explained.
"So you were too busy saving yourselves to even report to the authorities?
If officials had intervened, did Zi Wen need to suffer so much?"
The big girl was relentless, she absolutely disagreed with Zhang Ziwen mixing with these callous people.
A scholar flapped open his fan and spoke down from on high, "What does a foolish woman like you know? Affairs of great men are none of a woman’s business!"
The big girl couldn’t be bothered to argue with this group any longer, drenching them with cold water in the dead of winter was punishment enough.
In the end, she disdainfully said, "If you don’t get out, I’ll call the authorities. A group of men who’ve read the Saint’s Book, when faced with bandits, got cleaned out completely; don’t you find that embarrassing?" 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
A gust of cold wind swept by, causing the five men to shiver uncontrollably.
If they continued to stand there they would surely catch an illness from the cold, it would be better to bring more people next time.
"Unreasonable!"
"You just wait; I will seek justice for this matter!" said Shi Yongli, leading the group.
And this wretched woman had the gall to throw water on him; someday, he would have to take her back to his home and teach her a lesson.
