“If you have a bit of shame, you’d better scram from the Zhai family’s house. Is it very nice to spend other people’s money? Is everyone from the countryside like you? Do they all like to take advantage of others and snatch other people’s things?”

Miao Jing’s face flushed red then turned pale.

Even without Qi Minlan saying such things to Miao Jing, she had already had such thoughts. But Miao Jing retorted. “What has it got to do with you whose money I spend? Who are you to tell me to scram? You said that I snatched other people’s things? Whose things did I snatch?”

Since they were already saying such nasty things, they had better be clearer with their words.

Qi Minlan lifted up her chin. “Since you’re so shameless, I’m not going to spare you either. I’m Zhai Yaohui’s fiancée. The Zhai family already acknowledged me a long time ago. Of course I’m not happy with you living in my fiancé’s house! I’m warning you that I’ll chase you away once I get married to Zhai Yaohui anyway if you don’t move away on your own accord now.”

She must really have gone crazy from taking advantage of others that she dared to act innocent in front of them even though they had made themselves so clear.

“Did you hear that? Zhai Yaohui is Minlan’s. Do you know what you’re doing? You’re the third party in a relationship! The law now dictates that one man can only have one wife. Even if you’re willing to be his mistress, the law won’t allow it. Besides, you’d better not set your sights on a family like the Zhai family!”

Lanlan really looked down on Miao Jing.

She had heard Minlan say that Miao Jing had lost both her parents, and it was only after she joined the Zhai family that she had learned to read and write.

This girl couldn’t even compare to her! In fact, they were miles apart, and yet, she had managed to move into the Zhai family’s house and get to know Zhai Yaohui! This countryside girl had good fortune indeed!

Miao Jing clenched her fist. There were some things she could rebut, but it wouldn’t make much difference.

There were some things she could do but didn’t have enough power to do yet.

To be honest, Miao Jing had heard much nastier things growing up with Second Auntie Miao.

But for some reason, Miao Jing felt that the words of these two girls hurt even more than her second auntie’s. “Are you done?”

“I’m done. So, when are you going to scram?”

She really had no intention of ever meeting this shameless countryside girl again.

Miao Jing took a deep breath. “I’m sorry. I’ve never learned to scram, and neither am I going to scram. You said that you’re Brother Zhai’s fiancée. But I’ve lived with the Zhai family for almost a year and they have never told me of your existence. I think you don’t know, but Uncle Zhai likes me very much. If I hadn’t refused, Brother Zhai and I might have been engaged now.”

“Besides, I’ll wait until you really marry Brother Zhai, becoming his wife and Uncle Zhai’s daughter-in-law, before letting you chase me away.”

With that, Miao Jing turned to leave.

“You can’t leave!” Lanlan grabbed hold of Miao Jing. “How can you be so shameless? We’ve made ourselves very clear and Minlan even tried to leave you a way out. If you continue being so shameless, don’t blame us for being nasty!”

Miao Jing looked at Lanlan. “What are you planning to do to me? Don’t you already know that I’m from the countryside? I might not have anything else, but the one thing I do have is strength. Are you sure you want to fight with me? Your surname is Qi, right? Miss Qi, it doesn’t matter if I fight with you today. But Uncle Zhai’s family cares quite a lot about me. I’ll definitely let Uncle Zhai know about today’s matter. Alright, do you want to fight?”

Lanlan was incensed. “We have so many people against you alone. Do you think we’ll be afraid of you?”

“That’s right. What’s the point in wasting our breath on her? Let’s just beat her up until she’s afraid!”

Qi Minlan held Lanlan back. “Wait a minute.”

Qi Minlan didn’t care about anything else, but she had to care about something Miao Jing had said. “Miao Jing, we’re all adults. This is between you and me. We can settle it among ourselves. Do you think you’re still three years old that you’re trying to tell on me to our elders?”

“I don’t think that it’s purely between you and me. Besides I feel that there’s a need to tell Uncle Zhai about this. Besides, you’re Brother Zhai’s fiancée. If I’m not afraid of telling them about this, why should you be afraid?”

“Minlan?” Lanlan was confused by Qi Minlan’s behavior. “I’m sure you’ve seen it. She’s from the countryside. She has nothing and that’s why she’s so shameless. There’s no use trying to reason with her. Let’s…”

“Let’s go.” Qi Minlan’s face was entirely green.

Qi Minlan had already thought it through. If Miao Jing chose to move away on her own accord, she wouldn’t take issue with all the money that Miao Jing had spent over the past year.

She would simply treat it as though she had thrown some money to a beggar.

If Miao Jing wasn’t self-aware, she would beat Miao Jing up until she was.

But this girl from the countryside seemed to have gotten smarter now that she had studied a little.

Because Miao Jing said that she was going to tattle on her, Qi Minlan had no other choice but to give up. After all, Miao Jing’s behavior was unexpected.

She had thought that Miao Jing would have some self-respect and not try to create any more trouble for the Zhai family because she had leeched off them for the past year.

Even if she beat Miao Jing up, Miao Jing should endure it and tell the Zhai family that she had accidentally bumped into something.

But before Qi Minlan could even start to beat her up, Miao Jing took the initiative to say that she would definitely complain about her. How could Qi Minlan go on in that case?

Putting aside how Old Zhai would feel about this, Qi Minlan knew that Grandma Zhai would no longer like her as much once she learned about this.

Besides, Zhai Yaohui hated unreasonable people who used violence to solve problems.

“Minlan?” Lanlan couldn’t believe her ears. “Minlan, did you say something wrongly?”

They had waited for a long time before finally being able to corner her. But they hadn’t even done anything, much less deal with her. She hadn’t even been frightened by their words.

And they were going to leave just like that? How embarrassing!

“Alright. Stop it. Let’s go. I’ll think of another way to deal with her.” She had no other choice, unless she wanted to let Miao Jing have Zhai Yaohui instead.

Since the party concerned, Qi Minlan, had said so, Lanlan had no choice even though she was reluctant. She could only follow behind Qi Minlan.

Miao Jing breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that she wouldn’t be able to fight against so many people at once.

The Zhai family had always told her that she had to let them know if anyone ever tried to bully her.

Miao Jing felt that it was only right to let them know of today’s incident.
