"Da Qiangzi, just go! There’s nothing left between us, nothing to say anymore." Loudmouth’s clear and crisp voice rose, silencing even the onlookers, who could only watch the once married couple.

Upon hearing Loudmouth’s resolute words, Da Qiangzi started to wail with his mouth wide open again, looking as pitiable as the most shameless old lady in their village when she cried and howled.

"Ah Qi, how could you be so heartless! I really know I was wrong! It’s all that young widow’s fault. If it hadn’t been for her seducing me, how would I have ended up with her? Ah Qi, you and the boys are the apples of my eye. I can’t live without you all!"

As he spoke, Da Qiangzi crawled a few steps on his knees, trying to grab Loudmouth’s hand, but before he could get within several steps of her, Liuzi had already stepped in his way along with Liang Zi and Da Niu, each one looking menacing, "Speak from there! Don’t even think about getting any closer! "

Intimidated by their fierce looks, Da Qiangzi shrank back, not daring to move another inch. However, Liuzi and the others blocked his view, so he tilted his head, trying to get a sight of Loudmouth.

"Ah Qi, listen to me, that young widow, after she lured me to the neighboring town, kept on nagging me when she saw I had no money, telling me to go out and earn some every day. But I was a stranger there; I had neither money nor connections to open a shop, and it closed down within a few days. The only Silver I had left was soon squandered by her, and then one day, when I came home early, I found, to my shock, that she was flirting with Old Wang next door. Hmph, what’s so special about that Old Wang?

He’s old and ugly, nothing special except for a bit of money, nothing to compare with me! "

Da Qiangzi covered his face with his hands, sobbing, and to those unaware, it might seem as if he were the victim. However, the real victim was Loudmouth, and Da Qiangzi, at best, only got what he deserved!

Since that young widow could hook up with him, she could surely hook up with someone else too. He was deluding himself all day long, thinking that he, a man over forty, had entered his second spring!

Loudmouth sneered coldly, "Ah, so you were tricked by the little vixen and now you come back to me? Da Qiangzi, have you forgotten what you told me when you left?"

Da Qiangzi swallowed hard, his voice pitiful, "Ah Qi, I... I was blinded by lust, deceived by that little slut! I..."

"What? Have you forgotten, or are you too scared to say it?

" Loudmouth looked up, sweeping her gaze across the watchers, her laugh cold, "When you left, you said even if you were to die of hunger or cold outside, you would never come back to face me, your yellow-faced wife. Even if you were bullied to death in the future, you wouldn’t come back to rely on your sons for care! "

Loudmouth looked down at Da Qiangzi’s dirty, gaunt face, her eyes colder than they had ever been.

"You might have forgotten, but I haven’t, and neither have our sons.

Da Qiangzi, just like you said, I am a yellow-faced wife; I’m not good enough for you, the big boss.

Why don’t you think about why I look like this?

I’m even two years younger than you! Don’t you know what people are saying about me?

They say I’m an old lady and not worthy of you!

Hah, but they have no idea, at home I did the farm work, I did the housework, I took care of the kids.

And you? What did you do besides enjoying comfort at home?

Oh, right, you did do something. You took the Silver I earned from selling pigs and opened a shop in town and wouldn’t let me go there.

You were ashamed I would embarrass you, said I was dirty, said I was old.

Then you cheated on me with that young widow! "

Da Qiangzi was rendered speechless by Loudmouth’s words, his face turning red with shame.

And Loudmouth’s speech touched a sore spot for the listeners, who would question what kind of a man makes his wife work while he does nothing at home?

If this man had other proper things to do, it might be different, but this man was cavorting with young ladies in town!

It was intolerable!

Aunt Chen was the first to curse out loud, "What a piece of trash! Deserves to be cheated on! A man like you should be stripped naked and thrown onto the street to freeze to death!"

Fifth Sister Bai also curled her lip in disdain.

And Sister-in-law Luo, usually the most talkative, suddenly fell silent.
