Chapter 745: What Did You Say to That Person?

Qin Wen patted Li Guangyuan on the shoulder, "This is fate, isn’t it? As you said, your family is poor, and my fourth brother’s family is well-off. Anyone would let their biological daughter marry my fourth brother. Who knows what your in-laws were thinking, marrying the adopted daughter into the family with good conditions and giving their biological daughter to you, a poor guy. Maybe in the end, they realized their conscience and wanted to be kinder to the adopted daughter."

After saying that, he chuckled mockingly.

Li Guangyuan listened quietly, but clenched his fists tightly.

Qin Wen caught a glimpse of his reaction and smirked, "I have to say my fourth brother is truly lucky. He didn’t even plan to get married; it was my second aunt who arranged it for him. Before the wedding, he hadn’t even met the bride, and what happened? He ended up picking up a beautiful and capable wife for free, with a capable mother-in-law to boot. Just the other day, I saw him return to the village in a Santana, isn’t it enviable?"

Li Guangyuan couldn’t listen anymore, stood up and said he had something to do. He carried the bag of green beans onto the bicycle’s rear rack and walked away, pushing the bike.

Qin Wen watched him until his figure disappeared, and suddenly a voice came from behind him.

"What did you say to that man?"

He turned around to see Ma Suyun standing behind him, unnoticed until now.

"Nothing much, just talking. Why are you here? Is the meal ready?"

Ma Suyun didn’t answer his question, only said, "Even if you don’t tell me, I heard it. You were talking about Lin Chuxia. Da Wen, don’t go against Lin Chuxia anymore. My miscarriage wasn’t related to her, I fell myself, and the doctor said my body wasn’t well enough to keep the child anyway..."

Talking about the child, Qin Wen couldn’t suppress his anger.

"Enough, you can’t even manage yourself and now you’re blaming me? Is it my fault?"

He only spoke some truths, and now he’s seen as opposing Lin Chuxia?

Moreover, the couple Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang always have been difficult with him. Were it not for them, would he have lost his job?

They’re allowed to give him a hard time, but he’s not allowed to speak a few idle words about them.

"Don’t bring up the child again. Even if the miscarriage has nothing to do with them, I’m irreconcilable with them. Don’t forget who put us in this current situation, or did Lin Chuxia give you some small favors to buy you over?"

Ma Suyun shook her head, "No, Lin Chuxia didn’t buy me. I’ve just come to my senses and hope you do too. We’ve been wrong too many times already. Is it so hard to admit someone else’s excellence? I admit I’m not as good as Lin Chuxia, not as good as a finger of hers. No matter how stubborn you are, Qin Yang’s status now is... and you are..."

"Slap—"

The crisp sound of a slap interrupted Ma Suyun’s words.

Qin Wen’s face twisted, he spoke harshly, "What status do I have? What status? Can’t stand me now, huh? Who was the one clinging to me back then? If it weren’t for you always hanging around and seducing me, would I have married a rural woman like you? Marrying you was my downfall, and now you look down on me. Seems like you’ve grown wings, think you can perch up with Lin Chuxia and dare to lecture me. If I don’t straighten you out, you won’t know your place..."

He said as he approached and grabbed Ma Suyun by the collar, raising his hand high.

The market was filled with buyers and sellers, including many old neighbors from Qin Family Village.

Seeing him drag Ma Suyun around like a chicken, and seeing how thin she was, everyone came forward to intervene regardless of familiarity.

The more people tried to stop him, the more Qin Wen felt Ma Suyun was doing it on purpose.

She must have intentionally come to the market to provoke him, making it impossible for him to teach her a lesson.

These people too, why interfere when he’s disciplining his own wife? Meddling in other people’s business, even in this.

"Da Wen, stop it."

Qin Liang strode over and grabbed Qin Wen’s wrist, twisting it so he released his grip.

"What are you doing? Can’t you talk things out calmly? Running to the market to make a scene—what does it prove, hitting your own wife?"

Qin Liang was over ten years older than Qin Wen, and Qin Wen was somewhat afraid of his older brother.

Under Qin Liang’s stern gaze, he glared fiercely at Ma Suyun before turning and walking out of the crowd.

Qin Liang looked at Ma Suyun, feeling awkward as her brother-in-law, he simply said, "Go home first and talk things out. If Qin Wen keeps acting up, tell me, and I’ll deal with him."

..................

Li Guangyuan carried the bag of green beans straight back to the place he rented.

All the way, Qin Wen’s words echoed in his mind.

He knew his in-laws’ temperament better than anyone. When Lin Chuxia’s biological mother came looking for her, and they saw she had money, they even let their biological daughter stand in and pretend to be someone else. How could such a marriage with such disparity let their biological daughter marry into the Li Family?

Conscience found? When it comes to money, when have his in-laws ever had a conscience?

If it’s not anything, then where exactly is the problem?

As he entered the courtyard, Lin Jiayi was in the yard doing laundry.

Lin Jiayi saw Li Guangyuan return, feeling a bit unhappy herself.

"Why are you back only now? You left us yesterday, do you know how difficult the Zhang Family is to deal with? And last night, when I came back..."

"Why did you marry me in the first place?" Li Guangyuan interrupted Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi was startled, quickly thinking about his expression, "Why ask that again now? Did Li Dongmei say something to you? Or did your mother say something? Don’t listen to them, they just don’t want us to live a good life..."

"Why did you marry me in the first place?" Li Guangyuan asked again, clearly impatient by now.

Lin Jiayi couldn’t help but step back.

Since losing the child, Li Guangyuan’s mood swings had become more unpredictable.

Knowing she wanted to remarry him, Lin Jiayi had suffered much with him.

She forced a smile, "Why are you saying that, why else? I wanted to marry you, so I did."

"But the matchmaker initially introduced the prospective bride as Lin Chuxia, so why did it change to you?"

Before Lin Jiayi could use her familiar arguments, Li Guangyuan spoke first, "Don’t give me that line about your sister disliking poverty and preferring wealth. We’ve been married for so many years, I know what you’re like. Compared to Lin Chuxia, you’re the one who favors wealth over poverty. She’s an adopted daughter and wasn’t spoiled at your place. Why did your mom let her marry Qin Yang and you marry me?"

Lin Jiayi was left chilled by his gaze, her heart pounding, and she couldn’t help but tear up.
