Chapter 254 -255 I Can’t Wait for What Others Owe Me_1
Muniang indifferently withdrew her hand, “I don’t have the good fortune you have, to find a good man after much difficulty. Even if I ended up with an unreliable husband, even if I have to swallow my pride, I must remain faithful until death. I’m afraid I won’t be able to live as carefree as you. Now that you’ve finally married Qiao Dalang as you wished, although I’m genuinely happy for you from the bottom of my heart, I can only make do with my own situation.”
Her words smacked Xia Bing’s face resoundingly. Remarriage was inherently disgraceful, and what right did she have to put on airs here? Did she really think she could fool everyone?
In fact, ancient society esteemed the virtue of women remaining devoted to one husband for life, and remarriage was never regarded highly. But Tupo Village was a remote area, more lenient towards these traditions. These days, as they witnessed Xia Bing’s pitiful fate, they felt sympathy for her. Now that she had finally found someone to remarry, they were all giving their blessings, seemingly having completely forgotten the old ancestral rules.
Upon hearing Muniang’s words, the villagers mentally made a comparison, and all at once, the distinction became apparent.
Xia Bing’s face flushed red, and she stammered, “What are you talking about, I, I, I had no choice—”
Muniang no longer wanted to continue the conversation. “Your parents seem to be looking at you. Shouldn’t you go to deliver their meal? After all, you didn’t come here to chat with me, and your parents are still hungry.”
Everyone who heard this had their impression of Xia Bing diminished further.
Qinghe barely managed to contain her laughter, her lips twitching. Xia Bing thought her little smarts would outwit Muniang, but she didn’t realize she was kicking against the pricks; Muniang could verbally dispatch someone in no time at all.
Grinding her teeth, Xia Bing said, “I was hoping you would come and be with me at my wedding, after all—we—”
Muniang replied woefully, “I would like to come, but my husband is a serious man, not a spot of disgrace can be brought upon his face. If I attend your wedding, he might feel it’s beneath his dignity. Now that he has sobered up, his temper has also flared up, and I dare not defy him.”
Xia Bing’s face turned dark instantly. Attending her wedding was a disgrace? Muniang’s words were picking at the unsavory reality of a divorced woman’s remarriage, tallying all these points against her openly, yet using her husband as a shield, making others believe she was truly helpless.
Qinghe gave Muniang a playful look. Was this girl intentionally dragging Yu Ze into this mess?
Yu Ze sneezed inexplicably. Was his wife thinking about him?
Xia Bing, stiff all over, forced a smile and walked away. She was on the verge of erupting like a volcano inside, yet she still had to put on a cheerful front, afraid that any sign of anger would shatter the perfect image she had constructed in everyone’s minds these days.
After Li Cheng and Wanwan had finished their meal, Muniang and Qinghe picked up the lunch box and left. As soon as they were alone, Qinghe said, “You really didn’t spare her any dignity. Annoying her is one thing, but you had to sting her with every word. She’s still a girl after all.”
Muniang glanced at her, “Don’t think I didn’t see you holding back your laughter.”
Not pleased, Qinghe laughed, “I’m just a spectator enjoying the show, can’t I laugh a bit?”
“She came to us wanting me to attend her wedding, right? I don’t have the slightest bit of friendship with her. Her coming to personally invite me is like the weasel offering greetings to the chicken—a bad omen. If I didn’t use this reason to block her now, would she easily let it go? If we insist on not going later, she might even play the victim, saying we look down on her or something, then you’ll see what suffering is.”
Qinghe was taken aback when she heard this. “She has that many tricks up her sleeve?”
“You’re just realizing this now? In the future, when you see her, you’d better walk the other way. Xia Bing is cunning indeed. Although I despise her, I’m quite glad she could marry into the Qiao family. There isn’t room for two tigers on one mountain; they are bound to have no peace, so they won’t have the time to bother us anymore.”
Qinghe clicked her tongue, “You say Xia Bing is cunning, but who could be more cunning than you?”
Muniang raised her head proudly, “Are you complimenting me?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I am complimenting you!”
The sisters teased each other and walked home, talking and laughing.
As they reached the doorway, they saw the servant waiting. Seeing Muniang return, he hurried over, “Lady, Mr. Wu is here, waiting in the flower hall.”
Muniang glanced at him, “So he arrived, what’s with the fuss? Does it mean you can’t entertain a guest properly when I’m not home?”
The servant looked aggrieved, “No, the master said he would personally entertain him. I, I, I just feel it’s somewhat—uncomfortable.” The servant struggled to find a word to describe his inner feelings.
It wasn’t just uncomfortable, it was extremely uncomfortable!
Could he say that their master had broken a table shortly after entering? Everyone knew Mr. Wu was an important guest of the Lady, with significant business dealings. Offending him was not an option, but neither was offending their master. Now, with both of these authorities colliding, what would they do if a fight broke out?
Muniang seemed puzzled, “If he is personally entertaining, isn’t that better? Why the unnecessary worry?”
With that said, she lifted her skirt and went inside.
The servant was left in a mess in the breeze, thinking, he really wasn’t worrying over nothing, Lady!
Muniang went to the flower hall to meet the guest. Qinghe, wanting to avoid any suspicion, didn’t follow but went straight to the room in the back courtyard.
“Why didn’t you say something before just turning up? I haven’t prepared anything special. Are we just going to make do with a meal? Don’t later say that I’ve treated you poorly,” Muniang said with a smile as she entered.
Wu Haoli lazily fanned himself, “I came because I thought of it. I’m very petty, I can’t wait for what others owe me.”
Muniang rolled her eyes wordlessly. Was she supposed to welsh on a meal?
Yu Ze looked a little upset. Seeing Muniang enter and immediately start talking to Wu Haoli, he felt even more uncomfortable, his voice tinged with a sense of grievance, “Madam, you’ve returned?”
Muniang shivered, what’s wrong with this man? When she left, he was fine, and now he wore the look of a resentful wife—what had she done?
Muniang paused, her heart softening considerably, her tone much gentler, “Hungry? We’ll eat soon, just wait a bit longer.”

Yu Ze’s heart leaped with joy, and he quickly said, “I’m hungry, I can never get enough of the meals you make!”
Muniang looked vexed, had this guy hit his head again today?
A faint light flickered in Wu Haoli’s eyes. Although he knew Yu Ze’s actions were mostly to provoke him, he wouldn’t normally let such a trifle affect his mood. But Muniang’s response pricked him slightly.
