Chapter 969 - 142 Guarding oneself and steals_3
"Troublesome woman! You cheap whore!" Lin Jiaxiao cursed as he hopped off the wall and rolled up his sleeves, heading back to the house to settle the score with Li Feng’e. It wasn’t long before the noises of a man’s loud scolding and a woman’s shrill wails emanated from the third courtyard.
The onlookers, enjoying the gossip, listened in, and soon found themselves amused. No wonder Lin Jiaxiao hadn’t discovered Li Feng’e’s affair with the village’s old bachelor for so long; it turned out he also had a lover in the city. Moreover, from Li Feng’e’s cursing, it was clear that Lin Jiaxiao’s lover was a brothel woman. He had sold two parcels of the family’s land to buy her freedom and even rented a small courtyard in the city to live a cozy life with her.
Lin Yuan had seen that village head’s old bachelor more than a few times before. Given his family’s poverty, he hadn’t married even after turning thirty, and he wasn’t particularly attractive either. It was baffling what Li Feng’e saw in him to get involved with such a man.
Compared to attraction, Lin Yuan was more inclined to believe it was for revenge. Back in the day, Lin Jiaxiao used to be so obedient to Li Feng’e that saying he wouldn’t let her suffer even the slightest harm wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Discovering that Lin Jiaxiao had another woman must have broken her heart more than it angered her.
Lin Yuan shook her head in pity. Lin Jiaxiao was never up to any good, and now he had even learned to keep a mistress, ruining a perfectly good household!
Turning her head, Lin Yuan caught sight of Lady Yang, her face grim as she stood among the crowd, obviously infuriated by the disgraceful behavior of the third child’s couple. Poor woman, at her age, she still had to bear the whispering directed at her children.
The third child’s family was disappointing, but the eldest child’s family was even more heart-wrenching.
