Chapter 185 - 185 Drown her in the Pond
185 Drown her in the Pond
Xie Laogen felt rather guilty when he was caught. When Lady Ruan showed up tonight, he was full of regret. However, when Lady Ruan decided to make a scene, he lost his patience.
“Shut up.’
Lady Ruan ignored him. She felt like she had lost everything, including her pride and her face. Her man went to sleep with another woman and her son refused to listen to her. Her life was full of darkness.
Lady Ruan continued to cry and scream. In the end, he decided to curse, “You’re a skanky and shameless b!tch! How dare you seduce my man?! I am going to drown you in the pond!”
Widow Wang started crying. Different from Lady Ruan’s howls, she teared up silently. As her tears fell, she begged pitifully, “Sister, don’t get mad. I don’t want to steal what is yours. I am going to treat you and Laogen well. You’ll forever be my older sister.”
Lady Ruan straight up spat on Widow Wang’s face. Everyone watching this found that to be disgusting. However, Widow Wang still didn’t defend herself and only cried quietly.
The more she acted this way, the more sympathy she was able to earn from others.
Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao arrived then. When they walked by the Village Leader’s living room, someone saw them and called out to them.
Other than Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao, there were Xie Daoqiang, Xie Erzhu, Xie Lan, and others.
The entire Xie family arrived.
When Xie Laogen saw that his children were here, he guiltily let go of Lady Ruan’s arms.
Lady Ruan used the chance to grab Widow Wang’s hair, pinned her down against the ground, and proceeded to beat her.
Xie Laogen wanted to protect Widow Wang but his children were staring at him, scaring him away from blatantly breaking up the fight.
All he ended up doing was shouting on the sidelines, “How shrew of a woman! How shrew!”
Lady Ruan was beating Widow Wang like a crazy person, “You b!tch, you sl*t! You are a wh*re who sleeps with every man you see! If you need men so badly, why not open up your legs and let thousands have a go at you?! Why do you look at my man?!
I am going to hit you to death! How dare you seduce my man!”
Widow Wang covered her face to protect it as she curled up and begged pitifully. She didn’t hit back. Even if she did, she wouldn’t be able to overtake Lady Ruan.
Inside the room, the Clan and Village Leaders watched in terror. They were worried that Lady Ruan would end up killing the woman – the Xie Village didn’t preach beating people to death.
The Clan Leader, “Stop! You’ve hit her and cursed at her. Are you really going to keep going until she’s dead?!”
The Clan Leader asked people to restrict Lady Ruan. Lady Ruan was small and not that strong. She already lost much of her strength from beating up Widow Wang and had no power to fight off others.
Despite this, she continued to curse at Widow Wang. There were no uglier words than the words she used to curse, everyone in the room felt uncomfortable.
The Clan Leader growled, “Shut up! We are going to deal with this now. Stop cursing!”
Lady Ruan fixated her gaze on Widow Wang and screamed, “Drown her! She needs to be drowned.”
Widow Wang shuddered and tearfully looked up at Xie Laogen.
Xie Laogen’s heart ached and said to the Clan Leader, “This isn’t Wang Yue’s fault. It’s mine.”
The Village and Clan Leader’s head hurt, “Just what is this…”
They then glanced at Xie Yunjin, “Yunjin, how do you think this should be dealt with?”
Lady Ruan looked at Xie Yunjin and yelled, “Third son, that woman is a scourge! You need to ask the leaders to drown her!”
Xie Laogen yelped back, “No, I object!”
Xie Loagen said to Xie Yunjin, “That woman’s also your father’s woman. If you dare to drown her, you’d be unfilial.”
Xie Laogen had lost logic after the scene Lady Ruan caused. Now, he didn’t care at all about Lady Ruan and only cared about protecting Widow Wang.
He thought Widow Wang was far too pitiful. They got together willingly and he was not seduced.
Xie Yunjin looked at Xie Laogen and Lady Ruan as if he had a hard decision to make. In the end, he said to the leaders, “Let’s just let this be?”
The leaders thought that was appropriate. These two fooled around for a night, and that was all. Plus, Widow Wang had no husband.
The leaders exchanged glances and were about to nod when Widow Wang knelt down. She stared at the Clan and Village Leaders, “We could’ve left it as it was if we didn’t get exposed, but now that we did, where do I find the face to see people going forward?!”
Widow Wang started to cry before she added, “Clan Leader, Village Leader, since everyone now knows about this, I am willing to become Laogen’s concubine.”
“Huh.”
Inside the house, from the leaders to the villagers, everyone stared at Widow Wang in shock.
Be his concubine?
Xie Laogen was first shocked before it turned into happiness.
Compared to Lady Ruan, Widow Wang was young and beautiful. Plus, they just started hooking up and he felt everything to be new and exciting.
He originally thought they wouldn’t be able to be together anymore, who knew she would offer to be his concubine?
Xie Laogen thought this woman must’ve truly loved him to want to be his concubine.
Inside the room, Widow Wang gaped at Xie Laogen and her eyes reddened, “Laogen, I am willing to be your concubine, are you willing?”
Xie Laogen couldn’t help but answer joyfully, “Yes, I agree to this.”
This conversation made Lady Ruan’s eyeballs go green. She viciously stared at Xie Laogen like a female wolf ready to kill.
She snapped towards Xie Laogen and scratched his face.
Xie Laogen was defenseless and ended up with a long red cut on his face.
It hurt and he pushed Lady Ruan away while shouting, “You’re a shrew! All these years, you’ve always acted like a tiger and you made me listen to you for everything! When I didn’t want to listen to you, you would cry and fight! I’ve had enough!”
Widow Wang saw the red cut on Xie Laogen’s face and crawled up to comfort him.
“Laogen, does it hurt? Wait for a while and I will apply medicine to it.”
Widow Wang was naturally pretty, her face coupled with her soft voice stole Xie Laogen’s heart.
Lady Ruan watched those two and wanted to drown both of them.
She turned to the leaders and glanced at her son, “Drown them. Drown both of them.”
The room was annoyed by her constant threats. They didn’t understand how Uncle Laogen was able to endure her for so many years. If it were them, they wouldn’t be able to last even a year.
Xie Yunjin frowned at Lady Ruan and responded, “He’s my father. As his son, I cannot disobey his wishes.”
Everyone here thought Xie Yunjin was being filial.
Lady Ruan stared at Xie Yunjin in rage and gritted her teeth, “I object to that woman becoming a concubine. I do not agree with it!”
Lady Ruan then suddenly remembered the contract Lu Jiao made everyone sign. She started to shout excitedly, “Xie Laogen signed the contract that said nobody from the Xie Village is allowed to take a concubine! He agreed that if he ever takes a concubine, he would have to leave the Xie Village!”
