Chapter 330 Life-saving Grace
Wang Yonggui truly didn’t dare to dodge; every stroke of the broom hit him directly, causing excruciating pain!
The brand-new robe he had just put on was also whipped into a sorry state. Old Granny Zhang was so furious that she couldn’t even think about her own son, let alone care for a robe?
Wang Yonggui was in a terribly awkward situation. Seeing that he could not only not rely on his mother but that she might beat him to death, he had no choice but to beg Wang Laozhu for mercy, "Dad, dad, please speak some fair words for me. For a man to have three wives and four concubines is also very normal, as long as the family can afford it. What’s wrong with keeping a few concubines? Besides, Ahfu is with me willingly. She doesn’t cost our family a penny, and in the future, we’ll have one more person to take care of you and mom. Isn’t that good? Ahfu is truly with me. She even sold her house in the county and can’t go back. If our family doesn’t take her in, she will have nowhere to go..."
Wang Laozhu didn’t speak a word, his hand shaking the tobacco pipe slightly.
In his expression, there was full disapproval.
Having three wives and four concubines indeed is every man’s dream, but for peasant families, just having enough to eat and wear, and finding a woman to continue the family line is already good. Where would they have the extra money to buy concubines?
In Qilidun, even families better off than the Wang Family hadn’t taken any concubines. The Old Wang Family didn’t have this tradition either. Even Wang Yongan, who had become the Scholar, hadn’t taken a concubine despite the fact Lady Qian had not borne him a son.
This out-of-tune second-rate Laosan even wanted to take a concubine? He was about to ruin the Wang Family’s reputation!
As soon as Old Granny Zhang heard about three wives and four concubines, she lashed out fiercely again, "You country bumpkin, dreaming of three wives and four concubines, pah!! This widow obviously is a reincarnated vixen spirit. It’s very likely her previous husband was sucked dry of his life force by her. You must have been bewitched by her, right? Let me tell you, our Old Wang Family doesn’t have the rule of taking concubines. You’d better send this vixen spirit away. If not, don’t bother coming back. Go live a reckless life out there with this vixen spirit."
