Chapter 254: Chapter 256: Don’t Even Think About Coming In_1
"You shameless thing, get out of here!"
Wang Clan didn’t even give Tan Zhengyuan and Widow Xu a chance to speak before she started chasing them away with a broom.
As long as she was there, Widow Xu could forget about setting foot in the Tan Family’s house.
Tan Zhengyuan stood in front of Wang Clan and said earnestly, "Mother, Li Niang is carrying a child, and the fetus is not yet stable; please don’t scare her."
"Who knows whose seed that is? If you won’t move aside, you can roll out with her!" Wang Clan said disdainfully.
"Mother, I’m with Li Niang every day, if it’s not mine, then whose could it be?"
Wang Clan scoffed lightly, "What good could come from her? Nothing but a child conceived through deceit and trickery!"
"Mother, it’s okay to scold me, but how can you slander the child? He is your grandson!"
Widow Xu was depending on her pregnant belly; it was her biggest leverage.
But she came at the wrong time; had it been in the past, Wang Clan might have accepted this unfortunate affair for the sake of the child.
Now, she had been tormented by Tan Mingfu so much that she was exhausted, and the child had been a worry from the start.
And there was Xiao Fu, an ungrateful wretch!
She would have given him her heart if she could, but instead, after following his mother for so many days, he had entirely forgotten about his grandmother.
That’s why she didn’t care for the child!
"You promiscuous thing, think you can reach the sky by carrying a bastard? Get lost, the Tan Family has no place for you!" Wang Clan swung her broom in an attempt to drive the two of them out.
Tan Zhengyuan was struck a couple of times, then he seized the broom from Wang Clan’s hand.
"Mother, the child in Li Niang’s belly is my son, do you really want me to end our family line?" Tan Zhengyuan’s voice rose a bit.
Was it wrong for him to want a son? 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
Now, when he stepped out, everyone was mocking him; he had had enough!
Wang Clan’s attitude softened slightly, "It’s not wrong for you to want a son, but she’s a widow!"
"Then can you come up with another dowry for me to marry a young maiden?" Tan Zhengyuan asked indignantly.
Wang Clan fell silent; without Ten Taels of Silver, what family would be willing to marry their daughter to Tan Zhengyuan?
Tan Zhengyuan continued, "If you’re my mother, then let us in. We can talk about everything else after the child is born. Besides, we’ve already divided the family, why are you minding my business so much?"
Wang Clan gritted her teeth and let go of the broom in her hand.
Seeing the opportunity, Tan Zhengyuan quickly pulled Widow Xu back into his room.
Wang Clan muttered, "You better give birth to a son, or you’ll still be kicked out!"
Over here, Hu’s Clan was chopping vegetables; if Qiao Duo’er hadn’t called her, she might have cut her hand.
"Sister Lan, don’t bother with them, go take a rest," Qiao Duo’er comforted.
Hu’s Clan said with a bitter smile, "I’m fine, I just got distracted for a moment."
She efficiently finished chopping the vegetables. Her heart ached, but she always remembered the words Qiao Duo’er had said, which were that respect is earned by oneself.
As long as she and her daughters lived well, that was their respect.
Chao Lian wanted to say something scathing, but considering Hu’s Clan’s feelings, she swallowed her words.
Sigh, she didn’t even know how to comfort Hu’s Clan anymore.
In the east wing, Widow Xu was frowning deeply.
"Look at your mother, she was almost ready to eat me alive. If I truly give birth to a son, will she be willing to pay Twenty Taels of Silver?" Widow Xu said worriedly.
Didn’t she entangle herself with Tan Zhengyuan just for that Twenty Taels of Silver?
What a shame if she found out in the end that it was all for nothing.
Tan Zhengyuan patted his chest and promised, "As long as you give birth to a son, I assure you I’ll get those Twenty Taels back."
