341: Chapter 341 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 41_1 341: Chapter 341 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 41_1 Huang Lei learned from Huang Dapeng’s mouth about his ordeal at the Zhu Family’s place today and she was quite angry.
“They’re even greedier than the most avaricious landlords.”
“To think they actually made you pick and wash vegetables, had you been a bit slower, would they have you washing dishes too?”
I’ve really never seen a family so clueless about propriety, “they’re truly nouveau riche.”
Without a hint of depth, “if it weren’t for the downfall of the Fan Family, who knows where the Zhu Family would be cooling their heels.”
“Now that they’ve suddenly co into power, they have completely lost sight of their own limitations.”
“Just look at the Zhu Family, dood to decline, with not a single capable person in younger generations.” Huang Dapeng absolutely had no faith in the Zhu Family’s prospects.
“Just a bunch of petty people.
I didn’t want to stir up trouble initially.” There were only the two of them, husband and wife, plus Huang Lei as their granddaughter in the family, with no need for any fuss.
But that didn’t an he was easy to bully, “if I stand up for myself today, next ti, who knows, they might even expect to cook for them daily.”
“I made it clear to the manager today that for the next year, I won’t offer ho services, I can always find another place.”
Huang Dapeng knew it wasn’t enough just to fly off the handle at the Zhu Family, was it?
Of course not, one must show one’s stance, as he wasn’t without options.
Huang Lei wholeheartedly supported Huang Dapeng’s approach, “that’s exactly right, I have never seen such degrading treatnt.”
This ti could be managed like this, but next ti, who knows what more excessive actions might occur, “it’s just a matter of who at the Zhu Family will be unlucky.”
What Huang Lei didn’t say was whether it would be Fan Xiaofei who’d be unlucky, but on further thought, it seed unlikely; after all, he was the Zhu Family’s son-in-law by blood.
When the Zhu Family hosted this gathering, they invited so extended family mbers too.
If it ca to washing dishes, undoubtedly there would be those keen to demonstrate their eagerness, so it would never fall on Fan Xiaofei.
“So will be eager to show off, several of the Zhu Family’s extended mbers rely on their charity to get by.”
Huang Dapeng knew full well that the Huang Family lacked neither dishwashers nor those who’d pick and wash vegetables.
Just as the grandfather and granddaughter of the Huang Family had guessed, when the extended mbers of the Zhu Family learned no one was washing dishes, of course, they readily offered to do it themselves.
Fan Xiaofei’s Wife glanced over at Fan Xiaofei, imdiately giving him the sense that misfortune was imminent.
“No need, we’re hosting the event at our house today; how could we make you wash dishes?
All these dishes and kitchenware, including pots and pans and what not, will all be ‘contracted’ by Fan Xiaofei.”
Miss Zhu was very dissatisfied with Fan Xiaofei and even regretted marrying him.
Clearly, the Fan Family was in decline now, clearly, they needed her, and yet he still had this kind of attitude.
This situation made Miss Zhu very uncomfortable, divorce was not an option she’d consider, but if there was a chance to disgust Fan Xiaofei, or even his family behind him, Miss Zhu wouldn’t miss it.
Fan Xiaofei knew things were bad, but he hadn’t expected it to turn out like this, and his mouth hung open in shock.
When those present heard this, they were first stunned, then burst into unkind laughter.
Many from the Zhu Family had long disapproved of Fan Xiaofei.
Back when the Fan Family was powerful, Fan Xiaofei was the pride of many families.
But once the Fan Family had fallen from grace, not for lack of desire to ridicule, people just didn’t have the opportunity to do so.
Later, when this guy returned to the city and ended up married, or rather, married into the Zhu Family to Zhong Wuyan, though she might be ugly, that couldn’t make up for her terrible temperant.
People had to put up with it, after all, who’d deal with the consequences if Fan Xiaofei complained?
But unexpectedly, Fan Xiaofei managed to infuriate Zhong Wuyan of the Zhu Family.
Rembering Fan Xiaofei’s brothers and sisters romping about every day, it seed not so strange after all.
“I, I…” Fan Xiaofei felt indignant.
Although life had been tough, they had at least given him so respect.
But now, all respect was gone.
Fan Xiaofei was really very angry.
“What are you ‘whatting’ for?” Miss Zhu glared, “This is what cos from spoiling you.”
“So people just need to recognize their place.”
“Don’t always assu that your family is still the once-great Fan Family,” Miss Zhu thought of Fan Xiaofei’s mother and siblings, the so-called ‘New Year’s greetings,’ and fud with rage.
She had intended to ignore their behavior, feeling that marital disagreents need not be made public.
It turned out she gave face to Fan Xiaofei, but the Fan family didn’t think so and even ca to her to speak of a man’s dignity, insisting she should look after the husband’s family.
Though it was left unsaid, she knew they were effectively requesting her to follow the ‘Three Obediences and Four Virtues.’
What angered her even more was that when Fan Xiaofei’s mother said these things, Fan Xiaofei was right there and didn’t say a word.
The implication was clear, and since the Fan family was still dreaming, she saw no need to be polite.
“Rember, Fan Xiaofei, you married into the Zhu family, so you have to listen to .”
“You will do as other daughters-in-law do when they enter a family.”
“Go back and tell your mother and your brothers and sisters that you married in, not taking a wife.
Stop thinking about reaping without sowing.”
“No one here should move today, no, actually, from now on, let Fan Xiaofei do the work whenever we have guests at ho.”
Miss Zhu really knew how to crush soone’s confidence.
Not just for today, but for the future too—wasn’t this treating him like a nanny?
Fan Xiaofei took deep breaths, one after another, to contain his anger—or else he really feared he couldn’t control himself from lashing out at that ‘pig.’
Such a handso man like him condescended to marry her, becoming a son-in-law much looked down upon by others; he really had sacrificed a lot.
But the thought of being humiliated like this was unbearable—he truly felt like a person may be killed, but not humiliated.
Fan Xiaofei really wanted to ntion divorce.
Miss Zhu looked at the now beet-red with anger Fan Xiaofei, “Of course, you can also say the word ‘divorce.'”
She was certain he would never agree to a divorce for a simple reason—without it, the Fan Family would sink back to being bullied from all sides.
Many already disliked the Fan Family, which had made quite a show of themselves these days, offending who knows how many people.
Without the protection of the Zhu family, the Fan Family would be utterly ruined; in this day and age, ruining soone was really quite easy.
As she expected, even if Fan Xiaofei contemplated divorce, he truly didn’t dare go through with it.
“I’ll do the washing,” Fan Xiaofei dared not gamble on what would beco of his family without the Zhu’s protection.
Never mind how his younger brothers and sisters would fare; even his own survival was uncertain.
Miss Zhu watched Fan Xiaofei, lips pursed tightly, “Recognize your place; you are no longer the young master of the Fan Family.”
“You are not the praised young master when you step out the door, but a dog I keep.”
“You know what a dog is, right?
Obedient, compliant to its master, then it gets to eat and drink.”
“A disobedient dog will go hungry and suffer all kinds of starvation.”
Hearing these insulting words, Fan Xiaofei didn’t even dare to lift his head and face the people around him; he could already picture their mocking and contemptuous looks.
Soday, one day, he would surely have his revenge—Fan Xiaofei refused to believe that there were no flaws in the Zhu family.
One after another, they were arrogant and overbearing, simply because the Zhu family is currently riding high.
In his heart, Fan Xiaofei calculated whom he should ally with.
