Chapter 70 - Stupid Woman

Madam Liu stared at Su Wan with her bead like eyes , speech seemed to completely fail her as her mouth worked furiously while the nerve in her temple throbbed painfully , reaching its dangerous point in just a couple of minutes. But there was just something about Su Wan's mighty appearance that Madam Liu couldn't fathom how to speak with her . She was the wife of the village head and she was also used to bullying the women of the village , every-time she said east not a single woman or girl dared to say west but this Su Wan who just entered their village a few days ago not only dared to sing an opposite tune compared to her , she even dared to call her a bitch ! 

When has Madam Liu seen such a humiliation ? Not to mention Madam Liu wasn't reconciled when Su Wan called her daughter shameless for eyeing her husband , what was wrong if her daughter was eyeing Lin Rui? It was heavens rule for that allowed a man to have a wife and many concubines , not that she will let Lin Rui have a concubine once her daughter marries him but still Madam Liu found nothing wrong about her daughter's intentions towards Lin Rui . 

Lin Rui was capable and handsome , and her daughter was beautiful and wise, both of them were a match made in heaven ( Su Wan : looking at that pug like face of Luo Chenxi , beautiful and wise? Blegh ). 

" Do you even know who I'm ? " however no matter what Madam Liu thought she wouldn't just say what she thought out loud , firstly she didn't have an idea about Lin Rui's feelings and secondly , the Lin brothers did came to ask Luo Chenxi 's hand for marriage a few years back when Lin Rui had turned sixteen.  However at thar time the Lin brothers had a lot of troubles and they didn't even have a decent earning job , Madam Liu who pampered her daughter couldn't bear to sent her daughter to such a family , refused . 

Now if they were to say that they wanted Lin Rui to marry Luo Chenxi wouldn't it be equivalent to slapping their faces ? 

But as long as Lin Rui still have something for Her daughter , who was Su Wan to say anything ? Not to mention if Lin Rui brought up the marriage agreement between him and Luo Chenxi from a couple of years back , Madam Liu wouldn't feel like he was slapping her face  . 

With that Madam Liu glanced at Lin Rui who rolled his eyes and looked away , he wasn't stupid , he knew what Madam Liu meant by this gaze of her , did she still think that He would actually have some feelings left for a person who abandoned him at the times of need ?  Though Lin Rui and Luo Chenxi were never really together , it would be lie if Lin Rui said that he wasn't touched with Luo Chenxi's  continuous pursuance , at that time when his brother went to ask for Luo Chenxi's hand it was completely out of convenience  . 

Lin Rui was of age and needed a wife thus he thought of Luo Chenxi who kept hovering around him like a bee flying around a freshly bloomed flower but never did he thought that Luo Chenxi wasn't pursuing him because she genuinely liked him , instead it was his future prospects that she liked !

With village head Luo as her father it wasn't that difficult for Luo Chenxi to know about hos academic performance , thus what he believed to be a clean and concise pursuance was actually a rather scheming pursuit of fame and comfort . 

When his father died and his studies was stopped Luo Chenxi stopped visiting him, he thought that it was because her coming of age was near and it wasn't nice for her to be around him , but then he found out that Luo Chenxi was just after the future prospects that could haven been his own. 

Will he still have any lingering feelings of kindness for such a girl ? No ! Every bit of his feelings were fed to dogs ! Didn't Luo Chenxi wanted to be just his childhood friend ? Then she will just be a childhood friend , don't look at him like that ! 

Even if she were confess three times , he would still pretend that he had no idea about her feelings . 

Madam Liu saw Lin Rui glance back at her coolly and knew that he wasn't going to help thus she could only grit her teeth and chid Su Wan " My husband is the village head ! That means I'm the village head mistress , how dare you disrespect my daughter and I , with just one word , I can make my husband throw you out of this village !" 

The villagers who were standing by the side gulped hastily , this Madam Liu was really shameless , it was her daughter that was eyeing someone's man but it was the wife she wanted to throw out ? Where was the justice ! 

The women however didn't care , all of them were looking at the drama with extreme excitement , when was the last time something so interesting happened ? Thrown out of the village ? That will be a sight to watch ! It would be incredible if the Lin brothers wife was beaten and dragged around the village before she got thrown out . 

Su Wan caught sight of the excited expression of the village women and sneered coldly , getting so fascinated by the mere thought of her getting thrown out of the village ? You better not come asking for help when I make it big ! I don't know whether or not I will be thrown out but if you dare to crawl in front of my door after I become rich , I will sure as hell throw you out ! 

" oooh I'm so scared  " Su Wan mimicked  a false scared woman's voice and spoke to Madam Liu " Madam bitch you just scared me so much , your husband is sure ballsy that he will have me thrown out of the village without any evidence or crime , isn't it equivalent to using his position for his own advantage such a bad village head , I better complain in the civil affairs department or else who knows your family might even end up killing me one day " 

" you - how dare you badmouth my husband , you little slut !" Madam Liu was a greedy woman but she was genuinely nice to her husband and daughter , when she heard Su Wan talk nonsense about village head Luo she couldn't help but stomp her feet and point at Su Wan shouting as spit flied from her mouth " no crime , opening your legs for five men ! Isn't it a crime ? I can't have a bad egg like you in my village , one rotten apple rots the entire basket , its you today tomorrow someone else will entertain a hundreds of men , what will become of our village then ?" 

Madam Liu spoke as if Su Wan was a prostitute who entertained men for her daily earning , her face was also full of contempt and mockery  . 

Lin Rui and his brothers furiously charged at Madam Liu , they no longer cared whether or not madam Liu was a woman, they only had one thing in mind and that was ' she has insulted their wife !' 

But someone else was faster than them and with a flick of his hand he slapped Madam Liu so hard that blood sprouted from the side of her lips . 

Awkward silence spread around the fields and then - 

" Husband !" Cried Madam Liu with an expression full of disbelief , she could just not believe that her soft tempered husband who never even raised her voice at her actually dared to slap her , and that too so harshly ! 

" Shut up ! " with an enraged shout Village head Luo silenced Madam Liu then without sparing her a glance , he turned around and bowed in apology to Su Wan " Mrs Lin , please do forgive my wife , she is stupid and doesn't know a thing about how things go around here . I apologise on her behalf please be a bigger person and forgive her stupidity " 

Village head Luo was so angry when he heard his wife threaten Su Wan with his position, of course he was also angry when Su Wan called him a ' bad village head'. But he also knew that Su Wan was completely different than the other villagers and she was getting bullied by his wife , and if his wife bullying her it was only right for Su Wan to resort to any measures and retaliate .

If things keep on continuing this way Su Wan might really turn up at the civil affairs department and complain about his wife exploiting the villagers because of his position and then the troubles that he would face won't be easy to silence , not to mention he himself had never taken advantage of his position , how dare his stupid wife and daughter exploit his position for their advantage , and that too - to kick an innocent woman out of the village for such a stupid reason !
