Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 983: Chapter 984: Female Villain

Indeed, she had someone knock down the old house, built a distinctive small building, and opened a tea house that catered to niche, high-end consumption. She hired Ji Chunlai to help manage it, and Hu Xibing also lent a hand to watch over things. The business thrived, and even customers from the county town would come, having heard about its reputation.

The development of Peace Town also fared quite well. Ge Family Food Factory grew larger and larger over time and became a well-known private enterprise in Peace Town and throughout G Province, which in turn drove the prosperity of Peace Town.

But that is a story for another time.

After returning, Xu Linjiang couldn’t help but recount the whole episode of Chiang Xiao’s doings, mainly to reassure people like Ge Xiaotong and Liu Pei, letting them know that Zou Xiaoling and the others could no longer live there. Unexpectedly, this led Ge Dejun and the others to spend the whole night holding an ’educational session’ for Chiang Xiao.

”Little, when we drive people out, we drive them out, but you shouldn’t act like a female thug,” they said.

”Yeah, if word gets out, won’t people be scared to death of you?”

”What if Ho Laidi comes back to cause trouble again?”

Chiang Xiao shot Xu Linjiang a resentful look, and he touched his nose awkwardly before turning around to pick up his son, hoping to divert attention. Instead, Little Bean Bun had already rushed toward Chiang Xiao, clinging to her legs, and said in his baby voice, ”Sister not scared, I beat bad guys!”

Chiang Xiao laughed heartily and lifted him up, kissing his chubby cheeks, and said, ”Little Bean Bun is the best! My favorite person is now Little Bean Bun! You all scold me! All of you! From now on, you’ll all have to get in line behind Little Bean Bun!”

Ge Dejun and the others couldn’t help feeling helpless.

”Behaving like this as his sister, you’ll definitely spoil Little Bean Bun rotten in the future!” Chiang Songhai shook his head and sighed, tapping her forehead.

”Bean Bun won’t be bad! Sister is the best!” Dou Bao immediately chimed in, and after his declaration, he also planted a kiss on Chiang Xiao’s face.

Chiang Xiao’s heart melted.

”Aww, our Little Bean Bun is right! We’re all good kids who fight the bad guys!”

”Fight bad guys!” echoed Little Bean Bun, joining in eagerly.

Chiang Xiao, holding him, frolicked and giggled, clearly not taking to heart all that had been said earlier. A female thug? So be it—she didn’t need that kind of reputation anyway!

Seeing her like this, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

Who could manage Chiang Xiao now?

Once Chiang Baohe and Zou Xiaoling returned to Siyang Village, Ho Laidi and Chiang Songtao were shocked, their first thought being the easy days were over!

They had absolutely no desire to see Chiang Baohe move back in.

Chiang Baohe swore all the way back, while Zou Xiaoling cried the entire journey.

They had hoped that Ho Laidi and Chiang Songtao would confront Chiang Xiao on their behalf—they had always done so in the past, as Chiang Xiao had only ever been the subject of their beatings and scoldings.

But after they had told their story, to their surprise, Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi fell silent.

Later, after understanding what really happened, Ho Laidi grabbed a broom and gave Zou Xiaoling a severe beating, cursing vilely.

”You childless disaster, bringing you into the Old Chiang Family has been a curse for eight generations! You despicable wretch! If it wasn’t for you starting trouble, would that damned girl have come knocking on our door? You fiend, barren yourself yet you go cause trouble for Old Ge’s precious grandson—who wouldn’t better off dead? If you were dead, my son could find someone else who could bear children!”

Zou Xiaoling’s cries grew hoarse as despair filled her heart.

Could she continue living this kind of life?

Just then, a man’s voice came from outside, ”Ma, what are you doing?”
