965 Not a Simple Person

At that moment, Old Madam Fan was playing mahjong at a neighbor’s house. Recently, she had been quite lucky and could win two to three dollars a day. When her luck was at its best, she could even win five dollars a day!

“Oh! I have drawn the winning tile myself! I won, I won! Come, come, come, everyone, pay up!” Old Madam Fan smiled so widely that her eyes could barely be seen.

Everyone reluctantly took out the money to give to Old Madam Fan. It was strange how Old Madam Fan’s luck had been so good for so many days. The other three players had only won a few times. Even when they won, it was only because they had colluded to play cards for one another.

“Sister Fan, you’ve been so lucky recently! It seems like the joyous occasion in your family has changed your luck for the better,” a neighbor said enviously.

Joyous occasion? How could there be a joyous occasion in her family? Perhaps they were referring to her recent recovery from her illness.

“It was truly not easy for me to recover from my illness. Otherwise, it would be a long time before I can play mahjong with you! When I was sick, I craved playing mahjong so much that my hands felt itchy!” Old Madam Fan said agitatedly.

The other three people looked at one another. They all pursed their lips and smiled without saying anything.

Old Madam Fan found it strange and asked curiously, “What are you all smiling at? Tell me so that I can smile too.”

“Sister Fan, don’t you know that your Su Yang has a girlfriend? He even rented a room outside! It’s somewhere near your house! Two days ago, this young lady even quarreled with the lady boss of a butcher shop in the alley. She’s not a simple person! Your son is so lucky. Such a wife is definitely good at running a household!” the neighbor said.

Old Madam Fan did not think that this was anything to be happy about. Instead, she felt a sense of danger.

She had never stopped Su Yang and Su Liang from finding themselves a wife. It was good if they could find a wife on their own. She knew her own sons best. No nice girl would be willing to marry into their family. Her ideal daughter-in-law would be one who was capable, sensible and not scheming.

To put it bluntly, she wanted a fool who could do chores and take instructions from her. She would not agree for her sons to marry a woman who was too smart. She was still counting on Su Yang to support her in her old age! If he ignored his mother after getting married, it would be disastrous for her.

“Is that so? I’m more lax about my son’s affairs. So why did that girl quarrel with the lady boss of the butcher shop? I haven’t even heard about this!” Old Madam Fan asked as she pretended to be calm.

“I also heard about it from someone else. They said she didn’t have any meat coupons and yet she insisted on buying meat. In the end, she made the lady boss so angry that the lady boss closed the shop and stopped doing business. The shop is still not open for business today!” the neighbor said laughingly.

“No meat coupons? Is she from the countryside? She’s so ignorant,” another neighbor said mockingly.

It was one thing for this girl to embarrass herself, but now she had affected Old Madam Fan’s reputation. This was really too much. The girl had not even married into the family yet, but had already caused her so much trouble!

Old Madam Fan did not give any hint of her anger and just said lightly, “It’s hard to say if that young lady can marry into our family! It all depends on what my son wants. My son is most filial to me. He will come and tell me when he wants to get married.”

If one read between the lines, what she meant to say was that it was not so easy for any woman to marry into her family. Her family would not take in such a troublesome woman!

The neighbors did not try to persuade Old Madam Fan either. They could not wait for Qiao Yu to marry into the family. They would be happy to see Old Madam Fan’s house in as much chaos as possible. It would be best if they could not have peaceful days! This would let Old Madam Fan have a taste of her own medicine!

After they played two more rounds of mahjong, the police suddenly came around and kicked the door down with a loud bang. Everyone was so shocked that they quickly put away their money. Some people sat obediently at the table and did not dare to move, while some people tried to leave through the back door.

There were people in the house who had never been arrested by the police before. When they saw the police coming, they ran around in a frenzy like rats which spotted cats. In the end, they were all pressed to the ground by the police.
