I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

165 You? You Hit Me?

“Yo, it’s so early in the morning. Why is it so lively?” Zhao Lanhua smiled and looked at everyone. “Everyone is not busy today. Has the fields all been cleaned up?”

“You’re Ji Ah Tao’s mother-in-law, Auntie Zhao, right?” The fat woman rushed in front of her anxiously and took the initiative to attack. “Do you know what Ji Ah Tao has done behind her back? Help me ask her if her conscience has been eaten by a dog. No matter what, my mother-in-law has raised her for 15 years!”

“After fifteen years, even a dog would have feelings, right?” The fat woman became more and more agitated as she spoke. “But what about her? She actually did such an ungrateful thing. It’s really…”

Pah!

Before the fat woman could finish speaking, Zhao Lanhua had already slapped her face.

The crisp sound stunned everyone around.

Especially Madam Pan Wu, who had been slapped. She covered her face in disbelief.

“You? You hit me?”

Zhao Lanhua grinned and showed her red palm to her. “I was hitting a bug. If you don’t believe me, look. There were two little bugs on your face just now!”

Madam Pan Wu only felt anger burning in her heart. She would make up for today’s loss sooner or later!

Ji Zhao, who happened to see this scene, silently praised her mother in her heart.

“You’re finally willing to come out?” Seeing Ji Zhao’s voice, Ji Huai gritted his teeth and walked up to her angrily. “Are you still human? You actually instigated the young master of the gambling den to chop off my hands?”

Ji Zhao was stunned at first. In the end, she took two steps back aggrievedly.

Like a frightened little white rabbit, she looked extremely pitiful.

“Cousin, I really didn’t…”

“Are you still pretending?” Seeing her like this, Ji Huai only felt angry. Just as he was about to kick Ji Zhao, he was forcefully restrained by Shen Yao.

“If my wife loses even a strand of hair, I will make you lose your feet too.” Shen Yao looked at the man in front of him coldly. His tone was deep, making one shudder and could not help but feel fear.

“Cousin, I really didn’t collude with anyone to attack you.” Ji Zhao wiped her tears and sobbed. “I’m just a weak woman who doesn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken. How could I instigate the gambling den to chop off your hand?”

“You… Stop crying!” Ji Huai shouted angrily. He narrowed his eyes vigilantly and sneered. “If you’re so useless, how could you hook up with so many men in the county? Ji Ah Tao, Ji Ah Tao, I really underestimated you in the past. I didn’t expect you to be able to hook up with so many men!”

Bang!

Shen Yao punched Ji Huai’s face accurately.

Ji Huai’s two teeth were sent flying.

“If you dare to slander my wife again, do you believe that I’ll knock out all your teeth?” Shen Yao said expressionlessly with a tense expression.

Ji Huai, who had been beaten to the ground, struggled to get up.

“All of you, just you wait!”

After saying those harsh words, Ji Huai prepared to leave.

He finally understood that Shen Yao, this cripple, was not to be trifled with.

He had to find an opportunity to attack when Ji Zhao was alone.

“Wait!” Shen Yao walked in front of him and stopped him.

“You still want to hit me?”

“Since you’re here, let’s make things clear in front of our fellow villagers.” Ji Zhao had already wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still red.

“Dear fellow villagers, I’m sure everyone knows this person.” Ji Zhao silently pointed at Ji Huai and said softly, “This man’s name is Ji Huai. He’s my cousin! He’s very ‘famous’ in Pomegranate Village. He’s proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling!

“I won’t say how he bullied me in the past. After all, our Shanghe Village and Pomegranate Village were in-laws a long time ago. I’m sure many people here have heard of the kind of life I, Ji Ah Tao, used to live in the Ji family, right?”

“Grandfather died of illness, and in less than three months, Grandmother remarried. She even abandoned her biological grandson, Ji Chen! Although I understand her difficulties, I can’t agree with her actions. As for why she was captured by the county office, she can only blame herself.”

“Ah Tao?” In the crowd, an old mother-in-law frowned unhappily. “They say that the kindness of birth and raising is as great as the heavens! No matter how many faults your grandmother has, she’s still your grandmother. How can you send her to the county office?”

“That’s right!” Zhao Suqiu, who didn’t get along with Zhao Lanhua, couldn’t help but ask, “It’s said that a person will lose a layer of skin even if they don’t die after being imprisoned in the county office. You actually sent your grandmother to prison yourself. Aren’t you too ungrateful?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Ah Tao, you didn’t do the wrong thing!”

“That’s right. Although your grandmother has a strange temper, she raised you for so many years, right?”

“What’s the difference between you and an ingrate?”

Ji Zhao couldn’t help but smile when she heard them criticizing her.

However, that smile was filled with mockery.

Indeed, no matter what kind of environment it was, the onlookers who did not know the truth would subconsciously stand on the moral high ground and criticize others~

“Aunt Suqiu, may I ask how old you are this year?” Ji Zhao raised her eyebrows and smiled.

“Ah?” Zhao Suqiu, who was suddenly called out, was stunned.

“You don’t look old, but your ears aren’t very good.” Ji Zhao used the gentlest tone to say the most hurtful words. “I suggest you go to the medical center early to see if your ears are blocked by sh*t. After all, the earlier you get it checked out, the better~”

Pfft—

Someone in the crowd couldn’t hold it in and laughed.

“You… Is this how you talk to your elders?” Zhao Suqiu blushed and shouted angrily.

“Pfft, what kind of senior are you?” Zhao Lanhua spat angrily with her hands on her hips. “When it comes to family ancestry up, you still have to call my third daughter-in-law your aunt!”

Shen Dashan’s lineage had a lot of seniority in Shanghe Village.

In terms of seniority, Zhao Suqiu did not know where she would be ranked!

“Mother, Aunt Suqiu is old and her ears aren’t very good. I’ve already forgiven her.” Ji Zhao smiled slightly, but her laughter was rather ear-piercing to Zhao Suqiu’s ears.

“First of all, I didn’t frame my adoptive grandmother, Madam Xie. The reason why she was arrested was entirely because she deserved it.” Ji Zhao cleared her throat and explained with a serious expression, “Everyone in Shanghe Village knows that I, Ji Ah Tao, was sold to the Shen family by Madam Xie. At that time, she even took two taels of silver from the Shen family and some food.”

“Although the drought was serious at that time and many families could not eat, there were still very few families who were reduced to selling children. It could even be said that they could be counted on one hand.” Ji Zhao thought for a moment and continued to explain, “It’s an undeniable fact that Madam Xie sold me to the Shen family. As for why she was arrested, it was because the county magistrate had started to settle scores!

“Not only Madam Xie, but all the adults who sold their children during the drought were arrested.”
