Chapter 147: Chapter 148: Roll Away or Get Crushed!_1
He couldn’t help but remind her, "Auntie, I’m already married. Stop joking around with me like this."
If it were a normal person, they would have taken the hint from Tan Zhenghong and backed down, but Zheng Shi was different; she was very confident in her own daughter. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
She simply refused to believe Tan Zhenghong wouldn’t like her daughter!
"I know, but look at you, you’re the handsomest man in Big Willow Village. It’s such a waste for you to have married Silly Sister. If you divorce her, we’ll pretend all this never happened, and in the future, you and Yu’er can live a happy and harmonious life..."
As Zheng Shi fantasized about the happy life to come, she spoke with animated expressions.
Before she could finish, Tan Zhenghong interrupted her: "My wife is great, and I will never divorce her in this lifetime."
"What’s so great about your wife? She’s so ugly she could scare away ghosts at the door!"
Zheng Shi said discontentedly, and immediately a bamboo basket was placed over her head.
That basket was the one Tan Zhenghong had just been weaving.
Tan Zhenghong usually had a good temper, but now someone had insulted his wife, and even he couldn’t hold his temper any longer.
Actually, he wanted to smash her with it, but since Zheng Shi was quite short, instead...
Zheng Shi quickly removed the basket from her head, pulling out several strands of her hair along with it, and her scalp was in pain.
Damn it, Tan Zhenghong dared to throw a basket at her, his future mother-in-law!
Did he no longer want to marry her daughter?
She said angrily, "You... don’t be ungrateful. You’ve been married once and you’re still so poor. You should consider yourself lucky to marry a daughter of the Xiao Family!"
Tan Zhenghong curled his lips, clearly unimpressed.
Marrying Qiao Duo’er was the fortune of his eight lifetimes!
This made Zheng Shi even angrier. Her daughter was perfect in every way; what right did Tan Zhenghong have to look down on her?
"You’re blind! Your wife is so unattractive, only you would treasure her like that. Look at Yu’er. How could your wife ever compare to her?"
Zheng Shi continued to harangue nonstop.
"Get out of here!"
Tan Zhenghong’s voice rose higher, mixed with anger.
Zheng Shi was taken aback by Tan Zhenghong’s shouting, but she felt humiliated and unwilling to leave like this.
Before she knew it, she moved too slowly, and Tan Zhenghong threw another basket at her.
Tan Zhenghong warned again, "Get out, or I’ll smash you to death!"
Zheng Shi didn’t dare linger anymore, but she didn’t forget to take the eggs with her.
As she ran out, she looked as if evil spirits were chasing her.
"Brother Hong, what did you do to Auntie Xiao?" Sun Erhu came in, concerned.
Yet, there was a bit of a mischievous smile on his face, having just seen that the old woman’s hair was disheveled. He wondered if Brother Hong had done something to her?
Still angry, Tan Zhenghong said gruffly, "She must have been kicked in the head by a donkey to come here and make a scene."
"I thought as much. You’re already married to Sister-in-law, so you surely wouldn’t be desperate enough to do something to Auntie," Sun Erhu teased. It was the first time he had seen Brother Hong lose his temper like this.
Tan Zhenghong snorted disdainfully, "I’d rather die."
Erhu agreed, "That makes sense. Don’t be angry anymore, Brother Hong. If she dares to come back, I’ll beat her until she’s on the ground looking for her teeth." Erhu said, then went out again to split bamboo strips.
Tan Zhenghong glanced at the semi-finished product on the ground and decided to start weaving again with new bamboo strips.
Anything touched by that old hag was too dirty for him to handle!
Tan Zhenghong’s bad mood lasted until noon, but the instant he saw Qiao Duo’er, he immediately forgot all his troubles.
