Chapter 31 - 31. Poor but not humble

Tian Erya retorted: "I'm a shrew and I'm better than you, hypocrite."

Zheng Yuansheng trembled angrily: "Why do you say that I am a hypocrite?"

Tian Erya said confidently: "If you don't want to marry me, just tell the truth, in the name of doing my best, in fact, it's all about your own reputation, what is it if you're not a hypocrite?"

Zheng Yuansheng's face flushed instantly: "People's words are terrifying. I gave you the title of wife in the house to silence others. You don't have to worry about others gossiping about you anymore."

"You don't need your hypocrisy. You are so kind, you won't say that I am your stain. You despise me like a bug, and you still insist on marrying me. I am not so low that I have to marry you."

"As you like." Zheng Yuansheng sternly waved his wet sleeves and walked towards the door, "I wish I could be a stranger with you."

Tian Erya shouted at his back: "I also really want to be a stranger with you, who would want to rely on you shamelessly and be a stain in your heart!"

Zheng Yide saw that Zheng Yuansheng was angered away, and pointed at Tian Erya: "My nephew is a good man who doesn't fight with women, and doesn't have the same knowledge as you. You don't know good people too much. If it were any other man, who would be so kind?" Marry you as the wife of the house?"

Tian Erya felt particularly aggrieved: "He said that I was his stain. If so, why did he marry me for the sake of reputation?"

Zheng Yide looked down at her arrogantly: "Do you still feel wronged? You don't look at your appearance, you look average, you don't know how to dress up, you speak rudely, and you don't know Chinese characters. I don’t know anything. Which man of status will marry you? You ask yourself, will a man take you out and have face? Who would appreciate you without eyes? "

Tian Erya's heart was stabbed deeply, her mouth was tightly pursed, and tears began to roll in her eyes.

"On your condition, the servants at home and the butchers on the street are not willing to marry you, let alone my fourth nephew who is a well-educated person? Do you think my fourth nephew Yuan Sheng can only study behind closed doors? He also needs to make friends and go through the world , my friends will be curious about how beautiful and graceful his wife is when they see him in person. If you are his wife, how can you show it? My fourth nephew is ready to be ridiculed all his life. Make up your mind to give you the name of the wife of the main house, but you still dare to be so rude to him, you really don't understand the depth, and there is no cure."

Tian Erya's tears fell down like beans.

Zheng Yide did not soften his heart, and continued to sarcasm: "Cry? You know how to cry! Other women cry with pear blossoms and rain, which makes men feel pity. What about you? It's just disgusting."

Tian Erya wiped away her tears, carried the crooked bucket back to the well, buried her head in her knees and wept silently.

Zheng Yide didn't let her go, and walked over to her: "You say you country girl, how can you be so confident that you dare to splash water on my young master of the Zheng family? My nephew Yuan Sheng is also kind-hearted, and I don't care about you. My third nephew Zheng Yuanfei threw you into the well a long time ago. Tian Erya, take care of yourself and recognize the situation between yourself and my young master Zheng. You two are so different. My nephew is a white cloud in the sky, and you are just stepping on it. The black mud is cheap and unsightly."

Zheng Yuansheng walked out of the gate of the iron yard, found that he had dropped the chessboard, and came back again. Hearing the words of the second uncle who ran against Tian Erya, he stood there and frowned. He didn't expect the words of the second uncle to be so ugly. A little girl like Tian Erya probably My heart is about to collapse.

Tian Erya was very sad at first, but when she heard Erye Zheng scolding herself for being low, she stood up abruptly, her red eyes glowing with fire: "Second Master Zheng, have you said enough? I am poor and have no money to buy clothes or powder to dress up. I don’t even have the money to go to school to learn how to read. But, I’m not lowly, I eat by my skills, I’m not a servant of your Zheng family, and there’s no need for your master and young master of the Zheng family to bury me like this.”

"Hey! Are you plausible, you stinking girl? How dare you be so rude to me, but it's against you!" He picked up the pole nearby and swung it on her body.

Tian Erya grabbed him and pushed him aside: "I said, I am not a slave of your Zheng family, and I will not spoil you. If you dare to be rude to me again, I will fight desperately. It will also hurt you."

Zheng Yide was pushed and staggered: "Good girl, you think I can't deal with you. These blacksmiths and women who pull the bellows in the iron yard obey my orders, and I will let them gang up on you."

"If you are not afraid that your Zheng family's reputation for being too bullying will spread, you can do whatever you want. I am really in a hurry. I will deal with you first." Tian Erya ran to the iron stove, picked up the iron tongs, and clamped the burner. The red iron came back and gesticulated twice on his face, causing him to back away again and again in fright.

"You stinky girl, are you serious? Are you afraid that people from the Blacksmith Academy will beat you up?"

"I'm afraid, won't you let them beat me?" Tian Erya walked around the middle of the yard with the iron tongs, making gestures in front of the blacksmiths and women, scaring them back. "I don't know the specific details of you people, but from the marks on your faces and the marks of shackles on your wrists and ankles, you know that you people have criminal records. You were sent here, I guess, apart from the Zheng family giving you a chance to redeem your sins, there is also the intention to avoid your enemies, or to protect your family, otherwise, you would not be able to endure Zheng Erye's harsh discipline."

Zheng Yide was taken aback. She didn't expect that an ignorant girl in the country would recognize this level, and she guessed right.

Tian Erya held up the red-hot iron and swung it back and forth in front of the blacksmiths and women: "Zheng Erye doesn't like me, so you also follow him to do harm behind my back. Let me tell you, if anyone of you dares to treat me again If you do it, I will go directly to the government and sue you for beating an innocent woman, and the government will arrest you for questioning, no matter how powerful the Zheng family is, they will not be able to protect you."

Zheng Yide waved: "Don't listen to her, take her down for me."

"I see who dares!" Tian Erya snapped, "If you dare to touch me, I will immediately sue you at the county government office and tell others about the situation here!"

"Are you going to be unable to escape?" Zheng Yide's tone was dark.

"I have a family. If my father and brother know that I have something wrong, they will come here to make trouble. Even if they can't bring you down, they will spread the word here."

Zheng Yuansheng was afraid that something would happen and he couldn't deal with it, so he just wanted to go forward and listened to his second uncle's voice.

"Okay, Tian Erya, put down the pliers! From now on, no one will make things difficult for you."

Tian Erya couldn't believe her ears: "What you said is true?"

Zheng Yide nodded: "Of course it's true. You girl is too crazy, my old man doesn't want to compete with you anymore, and I won't trouble you again in the future."

"If you don't go too far, we can live in peace." Tian Erya put down the iron tongs.

"Fourth brother?" Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law's voice came from outside, Tian Erya and Zheng Yide heard the reputation, Zheng Yuansheng didn't leave?
Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law brought someone to deliver the meal, and saw Zheng Yuansheng standing at the door: "What are you doing standing here? Why are you all wet?"
