RPAGF Chapter 307: Thick Skin Can Survive
Chapter 307: Thick Skin Can Survive
While cursing, she fumbled frantically in the quilt, as if trying to find a weapon to rush out and fight.
"When I get out, I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"
But she searched for a long time and couldn't find anything suitable. Her eyes, which were not big to begin with, were now wide open, like an angry frog.
When Yang's father and mother, who were busy in the sheep pen, heard the loud noise, they quickly put down their work and walked out quickly.
As soon as they saw that it was Tian Guilan, their faces instantly darkened and they didn't give her the slightest bit of a good look.
Father Yang spoke first, questioning Tian Guilan in a stern tone, "Why are you here? Wasn't the lesson from last time enough?"
When Tian Guilan heard this, she couldn't help but think of the last time when the fourth brother had those maids drag her to the back mountain, and she felt scared.
That time I was really tortured and almost lost my life.
Tian Guilan thought with lingering fear and shrank back unconsciously.
But she still pretended to be calm and stammered, "I... I was just passing by and came to see you. Although my mother-in-law is gone, our two families are still relatives."
As soon as Tian Guilan finished speaking, Yang's mother told her seriously, "Don't talk nonsense here! If the relationship is severed, then the relationship is severed. We are no longer a family!"
Tian Guilan, however, didn't listen to Mother Yang's words at all. As she walked towards the backyard, she kept muttering, "Humph, breaking off the engagement was between my mother-in-law and Xiuying. Our eldest wife hasn't broken off the engagement with Xiuying. I'm still her sister-in-law!"
"I don't care what you say. Anyway, the matter of breaking off the engagement is between my mother-in-law and Xiuying." Tian Guilan continued walking without looking back, still muttering to herself.
Mother Yang looked at Tian Guilan's back and stamped her feet in anger: "You are so unreasonable! It's simply unreasonable!"
Tian Guilan walked quickly toward the backyard, thinking to herself, "Hmph, I'm not that stupid! Xiuying is now a wealthy and powerful woman, a piece of fat meat. How could I let her go so easily? Break off the engagement? So what? Does that mean I can't come here? I don't care. It's my own thick skin! Anyway, I just want to get something from her."
In these days, when we can barely get enough to eat, what's the point of having face? Can face be eaten? Can it feed the whole family?
No! As long as my family and I can live a good life, what does a few scoldings and glares mean? I, Tian Guilan, don't care! Once I get some food and property back from here, I'll see who dares to look down on me.
They all call me thick-skinned, but being thick-skinned allows me to survive and my family to survive, and that’s enough!
Tian Guilan had originally wanted to catch two chickens to bring back and make soup for her family. After all, the two children were injured and needed to eat something good to nourish them so they could recover quickly. The image of the two children's frail faces surfaced in Tian Guilan's mind, and she couldn't help but feel distressed.
When she passed by the sheepfold, she inadvertently saw the lively lambs in the sheepfold. Greed and surprise flashed in her eyes, and her steps stopped involuntarily.
"Oh, that sheep is great! Sheep are much better than chickens." Tian Guilan thought to herself, "I'll take one home and raise it first. When the sheep grows up, I can kill it and sell it for money. It's much more cost-effective than two chickens."
"God is really helping me. I've come at the right time." The more Tian Guilan thought about it, the more excited she became. She wanted to rush into the sheep pen and catch the two lambs immediately.
Seeing Tian Guilan about to grab the lambs, Father Yang rushed forward, stood in front of her, blocked her way, and shouted, "Tian Guilan, stop it! We raised these lambs with great effort. The villagers have already reserved them. We can't give them to you!"
Father Yang's face was ashen, his eyes were wide open, and his tall body blocked Tian Guilan's way like a wall.
Tian Guilan looked at the burly Yang's father, her heart beating fast. Naturally, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum. She forced a smile and said, "My dear, please don't be so angry. I'm not only from the village, but I'm also Xiuying's sister-in-law and the children's aunt. We have a special relationship. It's better for you to give it to me than to someone else."
Tian Guilan's smile was flattering and hypocritical, but her eyes kept glancing at the lambs.
"Besides, Guangzongyaozu is injured and needs nourishment. Please be kind and give me a lamb. It shows that you care about the children." Tian Guilan continued to use sweet words to try to persuade Yang's father.
"Hmph, stop using the child as an excuse! Whatever the villagers have decided is settled, and no one should think of breaking the rules!" Father Yang remained unmoved, glaring at Tian Guilan, "And I don't have a relative as shameless as you!"
Tian Guilan's face instantly turned cold, and the fake smile she had on her face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a ferocious expression. She said viciously, "How much is my face worth? Today I'll show you what shamelessness is!"
As Tian Guilan spoke, she yanked the collar of her shirt with both hands, revealing the clothes underneath. Then she suddenly grabbed Father Yang and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! This is unjust! This old pervert actually...actually laid hands on me! Everyone, come and see!"
She screamed and twisted her body desperately, pretending to be extremely wronged. "Hurry up! This old man is bullying me! I won't live anymore!"
Father Yang's eyes widened in disbelief. He had never imagined that Tian Guilan would not even care about her own reputation. He was furious and annoyed, and could not help but curse, "What a shameless person! Invincible!"
But at this time, Tian Guilan had already used her hands and feet like a mad woman, hanging tightly on Yang's father. Yang's father shook his body vigorously, trying to throw her off, but Tian Guilan was like a piece of dog-skin plaster, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall off.
"You shrew, let me go!" Yang's father roared, and tried to pry Tian Guilan's hands with both hands, but Tian Guilan's fingers were like iron hooks, tightly clasped on Yang's father's clothes.
Tian Guilan not only did not let go, but hugged Father Yang even tighter, her legs wrapped tightly around Father Yang's waist, and she kept muttering, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I will never let you go!"
Mother Yang hurried over in a panic, shouting, "Tian Guilan, come down quickly! Stop making a fuss! If you continue, everyone will lose face!"
"If you don't think about yourself, you should think about your sons at least! Several of your sons haven't married yet! If you act like this, how can you marry a daughter-in-law when you want to bring honor to your family and become rich and powerful?" Yang's mother persuaded earnestly, her eyes full of worry.
