Chapter 409: Chapter 412 Bad Idea_1
Widow Xu whispered, "Don’t go on about me having an affair every day, you have no proof, and though my own family is gone, I still have brothers at my mother’s home, and they will not stand by and watch me be bullied."
She was always very careful with her affairs; it was impossible for anyone to have seen.
Lao Guang certainly wouldn’t be so idle as to be distressed by egg pain and talk about women he had been involved with.
As for the loss of the child, couldn’t she have done it herself?
Widow Xu, feeling confident and unafraid, guessed the reason behind Tan Zhengyuan’s actions, and couldn’t help but slap himself in the face.
"I must have been blind to have fancied you, such a wanton woman!"
Widow Xu sneered coldly, "What’s the use of regretting now? Why didn’t you think of this earlier?"
Tan Zhengyuan almost beat her half to death, and she would not rest until this debt was settled.
Widow Xu gave Tan Zhengyuan another disdainful glance.
Having him around was almost the same as not; he was both poor and lazy. Only Hu’s Clan could have tolerated him for so many years.
She had just tamed Tan Zhengyuan when, unexpectedly, members of the Wang Clan came out aggressively, broom in hand, as she approached their doorway.
"Get out of here, you dirty, bad-luck bringer!"
While speaking, she brandished the broom as if to strike, and had Widow Xu not dodged quickly, she would have been hit by the broom handle.
Widow Xu felt her anger rising— meddlesome old Devout Woman!
Seeing someone backing him up, Tan Zhengyuan straightened his spine and said, "Yes, ever since I met you, nothing good has happened. You’re a husband-destroying jinx!"
Widow Xu suppressed her anger, "Fine, you and your mother are in cahoots; I’ll just have to find someone to talk some sense."
With that, she made as if to leave, and Tan Zhengyuan immediately lost his nerve.
"Let her go. A widow, not acting properly, seducing men every day—she’s the one without a leg to stand on wherever she goes. Why be afraid of her?"
The Wang Clan gave Tan Zhengyuan a disdainful look; for such a big man, he couldn’t even handle this situation.
If she hadn’t stepped in, would Widow Xu not have walked all over him?
Feeling reassured as if he had taken a calming pill, Tan Zhengyuan immediately abandoned the idea of chasing her back.
Even three-year-old children mock him as a cuckold, and he has been so annoyed to death; as long as Widow Xu doesn’t stir up trouble, he’s more than happy to have her gone.
Still, he needed to go out, maybe he would run into someone’s eligible daughter.
Though he was getting on in years, he had his face going for him; so many girls in the village liked Tan Zhenghong, it was unreasonable to think they wouldn’t fancy him, right? 𝘯𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"If you have free time, go and coax your ex-wife instead of roaming around, flirting with every Tom, Dick, and Harry and bringing all sorts of filth into the house," cautioned the Wang Clan.
If he brought back another widow, she would break Tan Zhengyuan’s legs without a doubt.
Tan Zhengyuan said discontentedly, "She can’t bear sons; why should I coax her?"
"Idiot, she is competent and has saved quite a bit of money. If you can keep her happy, you’ll have good days ahead. Later, when you find a suitable girl, you can just switch, can’t you?"
The Wang Clan whispered into Tan Zhengyuan’s ear.
Tan Zhengyuan nodded repeatedly, "Mother, you’re truly clever."
"Do you think I’ve been eating for free all these years? Be more astute, don’t act like a fool," said the Wang Clan, quite pleased with herself.
She certainly wouldn’t mention that it was Little Wang Clan who had reminded her of this.
Tan Zhengyuan said humbly, "Mother teaches rightly; your son remembers."
"When you benefit later, just remember to think of me," said the Wang Clan tartly.
Tan Zhengyuan touched his nose but didn’t join in the conversation.
In truth, he wanted to say, "What does having a second child have to do with me?" But he swallowed the words; after all, his mother had just given him a good idea.
