519 Encounter
When Old Madam Zhang heard that she needed to fork out the money herself, she immediately stopped shouting and making a fuss. If anyone wanted to touch her money, they would have to wait until she was dead!
“Why aren’t you yelling anymore? Weren’t you complaining about the pain just now? Don’t go out and say that I’m unfilial when your bones break!” Zhang Qian said mockingly.
Old Madam Zhang was the best at doing things like that. Now, everyone outside said that he was unfilial and did not hand over his salary to his mother, but just hid himself outside to pay for other women!
If not for the fact that Old Madam Zhang had given Zhang Cong the “severance payment” from Li Gui so that Zhang Cong could get married, he would not have felt so resentful.
Back then, they had agreed that he would get a portion of the money. He had planned to marry the widow from the factory once he divorced Li Gui! Unexpectedly, Old Madam Zhang did not give him a single cent. As time passed, the young widow felt that he did not cherish her and dated the factory manager in a fit of pique. Now, those two people were deeply in love.
She might even have a child in another two months!
Everyone in the factory knew that he had an ambiguous relationship with the young widow. The factory manager was also doing this on purpose to make things difficult for him!
If not for this job, he would have snatched the young widow back and made her his wife long ago!
“When did I ever say anything about you! Don’t spout nonsense!” Old Madam Zhang shouted.
“What are you shouting for! My wife is pregnant! Lower your voices!” Zhang Cong said as he rushed out of the room.
Ever since Sun Yan married into this family, there had not been a day of peace. When Li Gui was still around, she was the punching bag that everyone would beat up and scold to vent their anger.
Now, the house was as chaotic as a pigsty. No one would give in to one another, so they quarreled about anything.
“You still have the cheek to talk about your wife! You shouldn’t have married that wife of yours! At least Li Gui still cooks and does the housework at home! Even when she was pregnant, she did not even take a day off. Look at how delicate your wife is! Those who don’t know better might think that you have married an ancestor you need to worship!” Old Madam Zhang scolded.
Zhang Qian echoed, “That’s right! What’s the use of a woman who doesn’t do the housework!”
If he had known that Sun Yan would not do anything, he would have sent her away for an abortion. It would have been great if he could have gotten a hold of that money to marry the young widow. Not only was she beautiful and young, but she also knew how to take care of the family.
He had been to the young widow’s house once. The house was clean and the cabinets were spotless. It was obvious that she was a person who knew how to live well!
“Then you can bring Li Gui back! Bring her back to do the housework! That’s not what you said when I married Sun Yan back then! She’s pregnant with our Zhang family’s child!” Zhang Cong said.
He was not like Zhang Qian, who had a roving eye. Sun Yan treated him quite well now and her parents also had some say in the factory. When the time came, they would give him an official position. By then, Zhang Qian would have to listen to him even if he was his father!
“So what if she’s pregnant! Like she’s so precious! If not for Li Gui, where would you get the money to get married! You still have the cheek to interfere in my affairs!” Zhang Qian pointed at Zhang Cong and scolded him.
Zhang Cong lowered his head and did not speak. Two days ago, he had accompanied Sun Yan to the shop selling infant items to take a look. Those were all imported items and were very expensive. In the future, he still had to rely on Zhang Qian to go to Li Gui’s place to get the money he needed to support his child.
Zhang Qian looked at the unused stove at home and sighed before turning to leave.
“Where are you going?” Old Madam Zhang hurriedly got up and asked.
“None of your business!” Zhang Qian slammed the door and left.
Zhang Cong muttered softly, “Where else can he go? He must have gone to look for that widow in the building next door.”
There was no food at home, so where else could he go except to her place?
Coincidentally, Zhang Qian’s encounter with Chu Xin was quite accidental. At that time, he had come home from having drinks and was walking back unsteadily. He then bumped into Chu Xin, who had come out to throw away the trash.
His eyes widened at the sight of the woman in real silk pajamas. There were not many beautiful women in such a remote area.
Furthermore, the clothes that people wore in a county city like this were all mainly made of linen and floral fabric. Those who could afford to wear silk were all rich people. One look at this indistinctive body outline, he could tell that she had a very good figure. She was much better-looking than the young widow from the factory.
He made use of his drunken state to go forward and deliberately leaned onto Chu Xin when he walked past her. His hand also bumped into her soft bosom.
Chu Xin was actually not wearing anything underneath!
Zhang Qian looked at Chu Xin in shock. Chu Xin also blushed and said shyly, “How… how long do you want to touch me!”
