EBE Chapter 327 Proposal
Chapter 327 Proposal
Both Old Lady Liu and Li Dajun were people who valued their lives, so they had to temporarily give up the idea of looking for Zhou Rong to discuss marriage and instead focus their energy on other widows in Chang'an.
In order to save the matchmaker fee, Old Lady Liu personally went to propose marriage to the widows one by one, including Luo Qiuyue.
Even though she praised Li Dajun to the skies, it seemed as if marrying into their family would bring her endless blessings.
But their family affairs and dirty thoughts had long been known to everyone by the ladies who were watching the fun that day.
Without exception, all of Old Lady Liu's proposals for marriage failed.
She really didn't want to go back to the countryside, so she decided to choose a wife in her own way...
Fang Huijie's husband was a former soldier. He never came back after being arrested. Some people said he had been shot.
In order to avoid trouble and due to her poor health, she seldom goes out and lives a low-key life with her two children.
She had a private house in Chang'an, which was her dowry. When the government confiscated her husband's property, they did not confiscate this house, so she and her two children had a place to live.
In order to save more money for her children, she and her children lived in two rooms and rented out the other four rooms. Later, she renovated the houses privately and the rent she could receive was very little.
She wanted to find a job, but all the companies disliked her because of her background and refused to hire her.
She and her two children can only rely on their previous savings to make ends meet...
When Old Lady Liu came to propose marriage, Fang Huijie could more or less guess what she was thinking and rejected it outright.
Old Lady Liu felt that Fang Huijie was of bad background and was a sickly person, so she should be the easiest to control. She would then find a way to transfer her house to her or her son's name, and then they would be real city dwellers!
I didn't expect to be rejected.
Old Mrs. Liu was furious and spread rumors everywhere, saying that Fang Huijie was having an affair outside and was hanging out with all kinds of questionable people, which was why she got sick, and that she didn't know whose bastards her two children were.
Fang Huijie is a kind person and her tenants will help out whenever there is something going on at home.
After hearing the gossip outside, everyone came back and told Fang Huijie, saying that it was Old Lady Liu who started the rumor.
Fang Huijie was so angry that she fell ill. She lay in bed crying and hated those who would not give her a way to live.
Worried that her two children would think too much after hearing the rumors when they come home from school, which would affect their future prospects, Fang Huijie forced herself to go to Zhang Cui's house to seek an explanation.
She felt that it was useless to reason directly with people like Old Lady Liu. To deal with a scoundrel, one had to use scoundrel methods.
Fang Huijie imitated the way a shrew quarreled, holding a chopping board in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. As soon as she left the house, she started cursing and chopping.
He bluntly said that Old Lady Liu was not a good person. She looked at her family, which was composed of orphans and a widow, and deliberately made up stories to bully them. She was simply a beast in human form, with a heart of evil and a dog's lungs, and was unforgivable!
Fang Huijie has always given people the impression of being weak and timid, but when she gets fierce, people will look at her with new eyes.
Someone whispered: "She usually looks like a sick chicken, but I didn't expect her to be so fierce when she started gambling."
"That's right, but if it were you, you would probably be even more cruel than her."
"That's right. A woman's reputation is as important as her life. That Granny Liu didn't have any evidence and just accused someone of being wrongly accused. No one can swallow that."
Almost all the people who were watching the fun were scolding Old Lady Liu for being so useless and bullying a woman who had been ill for many years into this state.
After hearing Fang Huijie's yelling and cursing, Zhang Cui was too embarrassed to leave the house.
Old Lady Liu wanted to go out and argue with Fang Huijie, but Zhang Cui stopped her: "Mom, can you please stop causing trouble for me?"
Old Lady Liu: "Humph! A sickly girl scared you like this? I'm going to go out and scold her to death right now!"
After saying this, Old Lady Liu pushed Zhang Cui away, stood in the alley, and cursed at Fang Huijie in dialect.
No one could understand what she was cursing, they just heard her mouth making a crackling sound.
Old Mrs. Liu was in poor health. After scolding for a while, she began to breathe heavily and seemed about to faint.
Fang Huijie couldn't bring herself to say anything too filthy, and she was also worried that if she continued to waste time, Old Lady Liu would pretend to be sick and blackmail her.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Fang Huijie pointed at Old Lady Liu with a trembling finger, looking angry and speechless. She covered her chest, closed her eyes, and fell to the ground.
Old Lady Liu who also wanted to fall to the ground: "???......"
Neighbors came forward to help Fang Huijie up and pinched her Ren Zhong point, but she was still unconscious. Someone suggested sending her to the hospital and asked Old Lady Liu to pay compensation.
Old Mrs. Liu was a little scared and didn't want to pay any money. She waved her hands and said in defense, "She is in poor health. It has nothing to do with me. Don't even think about blaming me."
A lady said, "How is it none of your business? If you hadn't made up her lies and scolded her so harshly, would she have fainted? You must take her to the hospital and pay for all the medical expenses!"
Old man Liu felt guilty. After seeing Fang Huijie for a long time, she still didn't wake up. Worried that someone might get hurt, he ran back home and hid away.
Several ladies with a strong sense of justice would not let Old Lady Liu off so easily. They chased her to Zhang Cui's house and demanded an explanation from her family, otherwise they would report her to the police.
As they were all neighbors living in the same neighborhood, Zhang Cui did not want to strain their relationship, so she agreed to accompany Fang Huijie to the hospital and pay for the medical expenses.
Fang Huijie already had an old illness, so when she arrived at the hospital, she first underwent various tests, then got injections and bought medicine, which cost her nearly 6 yuan.
Zhang Cui's heart was bleeding when she paid the money. After returning home, she packed up Old Lady Liu's luggage and said she would not let her stay in the city no matter what.
Old Mrs. Liu didn't want to go back. She cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself at home. Li Dajun also joined in and pushed Zhang Cui.
Zhang Cui felt that she was being beaten, so she refused to give in and started scratching Li Dajun.
There were several bloody scratches on Li Dajun's face, and in a fit of rage he slapped Zhang Cui twice.
Old man Liu was also fanning the flames, asking Li Dajun to focus on the important points so that Zhang Cui would not ignore them.
Li Dajun believed his mother's words and started punching and kicking Zhang Cui.
When the neighbors heard the noise, they came over to try to stop the fight and finally pulled Li Dajun away.
Zhang Cui was beaten so badly that her face was bruised and swollen. She immediately packed up her clothes, all the money, tickets and food in the house, and returned to her parents' home with her two children who had just returned from school.
When Li Dajun saw Zhang Cui taking away all the food in the house, he wanted to stop her, but was held back by the neighbors, and Zhang Cui was able to escape.
After Li Xiaojun got home from get off work, his neighbor told him everything that had happened in his house before he even got home.
Li Xiaojun was furious and ran home to question Old Lady Liu and Li Dajun, asking why they had to quarrel with others and why they had beaten his wife away.
Old Lady Liu groaned, "Why would a daughter-in-law who doesn't respect her mother-in-law come here? If she runs away, she runs away. You've been to junior high school and have a job. Are you afraid that you can't find a good daughter-in-law? I'll find you a good marriage tomorrow!"
Li Xiaojun sighed helplessly and searched the house. He found that all the money, tickets and food were gone. He said dejectedly: "You have to go back to your hometown tomorrow. If you don't go back, we will sever our relationship."
Li Dajun: "How dare you! If you drive us away, I will go to your workplace and make trouble!"
Li Xiaojun: "Whatever. You have torn my family apart. If I lose my job, I will jump into the river and die. I will not be dragged down by you anymore."
Li Dajun: “…”
