Chapter 19 Regret on the Marriage
Chapter 19 Broken Engagement
Old Zhang hurriedly entered Zuihualou and found the lobby very quiet, with only Wang Qiang eating.
"Young Master Qiang, why are you eating alone? Where are Jiaojiao and your young master?" Old Zhang asked.
"Haha..." Wang Qiang pointed upstairs and said with a smile, "They're in their room. You've come at just the right time. They're fighting like mad. I can't stop them."
"Ah..." Old Zhang's face changed. "Jiaojiao, oh Jiaojiao! It's all Grandpa's fault for not educating you properly when you were little. Grandpa regrets it! I didn't let you learn needlework, I didn't let you read 'Admonitions for Women' and 'Inner Teachings.' You're already eighteen and still can't find a husband. Grandpa has finally found you a good husband, and you've already gotten into a fight with your future husband! It's outrageous!"
Old Zhang frowned and said coldly, "I'll go upstairs and take a look."
Old Zhang pushed open the door and was immediately stunned.
Wang Wenzhou was shirtless, with a girl on top of him, and the two were kissing passionately. Old Zhang looked closely and realized that the girl was none other than his beloved granddaughter, Zhang Jiao.
Old Zhang blushed. He had come at the wrong time. Xiao Qiang was really too bad. Your young master and Jiao Jiao were doing this kind of thing. Why did you lie to this old man? They were fighting.
The man and woman on the bed, upon hearing the door open, seemed to understand each other perfectly, simultaneously releasing their mouths and ceasing their hostility. They turned their heads and saw that it was Old Zhang.
Wang Wenzhou immediately shouted, "Old Zhang, help!"
"Cough cough..." Old Zhang coughed a few times, thinking to himself, "You two are doing this kind of shameful thing in broad daylight, why are you yelling for help? Although your granddaughter isn't even married yet, it's not very good for you to be doing this with her. But this isn't so bad either, the deed is done, so don't even think about breaking off the engagement!"
Old Zhang said awkwardly, "My dear son-in-law! You guys continue, I didn't see anything."
"Get off me!" Zhang Jiao roared as Wang Wenzhou pinned her down.
Wang Wenzhou thought to himself, "My savior has arrived! Although kissing a tough girl is fun, it's still life-threatening. I should ask my savior for help!"
Wang Wenzhou jumped out of bed, ran to the door in a few steps, and cried out, "Old Zhang, you old liar, I'm not marrying your granddaughter!"
"Huh?" Old Zhang stared at Wang Wenzhou in surprise. Only then did he realize that Wang Wenzhou's face was swollen and his eyes were bruised.
So they really were fighting, but when the old man came in, the two of them were clearly kissing passionately in bed! What on earth happened? Hmm… Old Zhang racked his brains for a moment, thinking that they probably did start out fighting. But then, as they fought, sparks flew and they fell in love. Dry wood meeting a raging fire, and things just got out of control.
"My dear son-in-law!" Old Zhang chuckled and patted Wang Wenzhou on the shoulder, speaking with the air of someone who'd been there all along. "Don't be shy! We're family. I really didn't see anything. Keep going, keep going, I can hold my great-grandson next year!"
"You lecherous scoundrel!" Zhang Jiao ran over and pointed at Wang Wenzhou, cursing loudly.
"Jiaojiao!" Old Zhang roared at his granddaughter, "What kind of behavior is this!"
Wang Wenzhou pointed to his face and said plaintively, "You son of a bitch! Old Zhang, look at my face. It's all from your granddaughter hitting me! Is there any girl like that? I really didn't do anything! The moment she came here today, she started finding fault with everything, calling the girl a little bitch all the time!"
Wang Wenzhou became increasingly agitated as he spoke, grabbing Old Zhang's clothes and angrily saying, "I won't marry your granddaughter! Let her marry whoever she wants! I'd rather die than marry her!"
"Hmph!" Zhang Jiao pointed at Wang Wenzhou and cursed, "You heartless man! You signed the marriage certificate one day and ran off to a brothel to sleep with a whore the next!"
"Jiaojiao!" Old Zhang scolded, "How can you be so rude to your husband?"
"Grandpa!" Zhang Jiao said to Old Zhang, feeling wronged, "He went to the brothel to order food and didn't pay! I delivered the food to the brothel for him, and he even invited the prostitutes there to eat with him. This is outrageous!"
"Old Zhang, hurry up and take your crazy girl home! Look what you've done to me, we're not even married yet! If I marry her, she'll beat me to death!" Wang Wenzhou said angrily, grabbing Old Zhang's clothes.
“You…” Zhang Jiao was very angry and kicked Wang Wenzhou, knocking him to the ground.
"Slap!" Old Zhang slapped his granddaughter across the face and roared, "Jiaojiao, you've gone too far!"
"I went too far?" Zhang Jiao covered her face with her hands, looking at her grandfather in disbelief.
The grandfather and granddaughter depended on each other for survival. Zhang Jiao had grown up so much, and her grandfather had never even spoken a harsh word to her, let alone hit her. Now, he was actually going to hit her for this shameless fatso!
Tears welled up in Zhang Jiao's eyes, but she couldn't hold back any longer. Tears streamed down her face, and she wiped them away, crying as she ran away.
"Son-in-law! Are you alright? Get up quickly!" Old Zhang didn't chase after his granddaughter; instead, he apologetically pulled Wang Wenzhou up.
"You old liar! Don't try to fool me. I can't marry your granddaughter! If I hadn't held down that crazy girl of yours just now, she would have torn me to pieces!" Wang Wenzhou got up and said angrily.
“My dear husband, don’t be angry! Look, you two have already done all that! How can you break off the engagement? This old man apologizes to you on behalf of Jiaojiao!” Old Zhang hurriedly bowed deeply to Wang Wenzhou.
"Don't try that on me! I didn't do anything! Your granddaughter can marry whoever she wants, just don't try to screw me over!" Wang Wenzhou was very frustrated. He really wanted to fight back after being beaten up by the girl, but he felt embarrassed. Besides, he couldn't beat Zhang Jiao. If he really married such a violent girl, he would never be able to live a normal life.
"Sigh!" Old Zhang sighed. Jiaojiao was really outrageous. It was all his fault! A husband is a wife's heaven and earth; how could she beat and kick him? No wonder his son-in-law was like this. If it were him, he wouldn't have married such a fierce woman as his granddaughter.
"My dear son-in-law, Jiaojiao has been without parents since she was little. It's all my fault!" Old Zhang said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Waaah..." Old Zhang wiped away his tears and said sadly, "My dear son-in-law, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred years of cultivation to share a boat ride and a thousand years to share a pillow. You've already slept with Jiaojiao, how can you not marry her?"
"Damn it! You old liar, here you go again!" Wang Wenzhou cursed, "You shameless old man, you can't just spout nonsense like that! Who slept with your granddaughter? It was your crazy girl who beat me like a madwoman. I ran to the bed, and she chased after me and kept hitting me. I held her down because I didn't want her to beat me to death!"
"Haha..." Old Zhang laughed through his tears and advised, "My dear husband, it's inevitable for husband and wife to fight sometimes. Don't worry, when I get home, I'll give her a good scolding. I promise Jiaojiao won't act like this again."
"Tch..." Wang Wenzhou curled his lip and sneered, "Fine! If you make her kneel on the ground and sing 'Conquer' for me, and obey my every word, I might consider not breaking off the engagement."
"Haha!" Old Zhang laughed heartily, "My dear son-in-law, a gentleman's word is his bond! Don't worry, I will definitely bring Jiaojiao to kowtow and apologize to you."
Wang Wen rolled his eyes in a week. "Damn it! Old Zhang, is Jiaojiao really your granddaughter?"
Old Zhang patted Wang Wenzhou on the shoulder, then, remembering the purpose of his trip, asked, "There's something I don't understand. Why does the magistrate want to collect taxes upon entering the city?"
