Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 383: Chapter 383: Where’s Your Big Brother?

Ji Desheng was about to speak when Ho Laidi already ground her teeth and bitterly said, ”In our village, who doesn’t know that little slut!”

Little slut?

Yu Chunyu swept a disdainful glance at her, and Zou Xiaoling by her side also showed a face full of contempt.

They were after all teachers, and hearing such foul language coming out of her mouth was too much for them to take.

Ho Laidi saw the looks they were giving her and felt waves of irritation and anger inside.

You’re all little sluts too!

She cursed viciously in her heart, her face slightly stiff, and she said no more.

Talking about Ho Laidi, she too was heartbroken and aggrieved.

Ever since Chiang Baohe saw Zou Xiaoling in town the last time, he had been obsessed with her. He was throwing tantrums at home every day, smashing things and cursing people, becoming increasingly difficult to serve.

Especially these past days, although his injury had scabbed over, it still couldn’t bear weight, and it was certain it was now useless. His temper became even more frightening.

The only times he acted like a normal person were when he talked about the marriage, about Zou Xiaoling.

Therefore, Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi placed their hopes on Zou Xiaoling.

If they truly could marry her into the family, first of all, it would be a great boost to their prestige. A country fellow marrying a town schoolteacher boasted great prestige. Moreover, Zou Xiaoling had a salary, and they could use it to support Chiang Baohe!

They would then be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

And perhaps, after Chiang Baohe married the woman he loved, his temper might even improve?

It would be killing three birds with one stone.

So, with this in mind, Ho Laidi had been making frequent trips to town.

Previously, she had spent half a month finding out about Zou Xiaoling’s family background, then another half-month to strike up a conversation with her.

Unfortunately, Zou Xiaoling clearly rejected her, particularly the marriage proposal. Ho Laidi had long cursed her inside out, but to appease Chiang Baohe, she had no choice but to ingratiate herself with Zou Xiaoling.

She had never had to lower herself like this in her life, which made her very upset, as if she was being tormented. She had already planned in her heart, once Zou Xiaoling became her daughter-in-law, she would pay back these grievances!

Upon hearing Ho Laidi curse Chiang Xiao, Ji Desheng too felt a bit angry, but knowing how difficult she could be, he only managed to say to Yu Chunyu, ”I know her, she’s from the same village as us.”

Yu Chunyu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her heart.

They were from the countryside?

Could it be, such a handsome and stylish man is actually from some poor backwater?

Her enthusiasm suddenly waned.

”Then why does she keep coming to town?”

Seeing her chance to speak, Ho Laidi quickly said, ”What’s so strange about that? That girl is just restless, always running off somewhere. Otherwise, how could she be engaged so young? That man was stupid too; he gave away a lot of money and even fixed their house...”

Anyway, Chiang Xiao is nothing but a vixen!

As Yu Chunyu listened, she wanted to ask more, but they had already reached Chiang Xiao.

”Chiang Xiao, why are you here?” Ji Desheng asked as he looked at Chiang Xiao.

Chiang Xiao glanced at Ho Laidi, who glared back at her fiercely.

It had been so long since the beating, Ho Laidi had almost forgotten the pain. But now she had to put on an act in front of Zou Xiaoling, and could only stare with her eyes, saying nothing.

”Nothing much, just hanging out,” Chiang Xiao replied briefly, trying to walk past them. Yu Chunyu couldn’t help but call out to her.

”Chiang Xiao, did your big brother also come back?”
