Chapter 614 - 608_1
Zhao Anyu was also very angry. Having such an unwieldy wife who not only failed to be a help but instead caused trouble whenever she wasn’t watched closely was truly an exasperating matter. He had just lost sight of Mrs. Wei for a moment and was fretting over whether she had gone off on some aimless wander again, planning to teach her a lesson upon her return. But before he had the chance, she had already created a disaster.
"You damned fool! Can’t you see what time it is? Acting so recklessly, I honestly wish I could divorce this restless woman!" Zhao Anyu, who was normally so gentle and refined that he rarely spoke a harsh word, was now furiously swearing. In his anger, he kicked the corner of a table, causing a sharp pain, but he had no time to care about it as he hurried towards the back door of the residence.
Zhao Anyu’s mother on the side was heaving sighs as well; she was the one who had chosen such an imprudent daughter-in-law for her son, and she regretted it deeply! Watching Zhao Anyu hasten to clean up Mrs. Wei’s mess, she quickly followed behind.
Even if she couldn’t be of much help, selling her old face to apologize and clean up Mrs. Wei’s mess was something her son shouldn’t have to do. Her son was meant for greater things and carried the responsibility of revitalizing the Wei Family, yet he was repeatedly embroiled in such troubles because of Mrs. Wei. She felt both heartache and self-blame, and her dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wei was beyond what could be expressed.
Mrs. Wei had been subdued by her mother-in-law for a while after being chastised, not causing any trouble, but recently, as the villagers showed her respect and pampered her, she started to lose her bearings once again. She had nearly forgotten the fear and worry when her mother-in-law and husband had nearly divorced her, especially since both had recently been leaving her to her own devices for maintaining a semblance of decency. Li Xiaomei had become increasingly brazen with too much idle time, meddling and giving unsolicited advice to others at work,
As for Zhao Cheng, Li Xiaomei noticed his distracted state and understood what he was pining for, but she didn’t point it out. She hadn’t expected that Zhao Cheng would actually do something so foolish! Li Xiaomei now wasn’t thinking about blaming Zhao Cheng but was worried that he had incurred Lin Yue’s disdain, which would ruin the good days ahead for their family. She was angered even hearing about such a thing herself, let alone Lin Yue; she couldn’t believe how obsessed he was with his unfairly partial mother—it was both exasperating and worrisome. Yet, she realized that this was precisely what was most valuable about Zhao Cheng. If he had the same character as his two brothers, Li Xiaomei wouldn’t have followed him so loyally.
Li Xiaomei wasn’t afraid to damage Zhao Cheng’s pride and right after seeing him, she scolded him with a stern face while grabbing his ear, "What’s wrong with your mind, causing such trouble for your sister-in-law in such a short time? Don’t you know your mother’s true nature? She’s not only biased but also scheming. Even when others suffer losses, she may not; she might even have some grain hidden away, letting you eagerly bring more to her. And what about your two brothers? They almost brought disaster upon everyone! How can you be worthy of the high regard sister-in-law has for us? I am so angry with you that my heart aches. Even if you don’t think about the favor sister-in-law has shown our family, you should at least consider me and the children. You’ve disappointed me greatly!"
