    Chapter 37: The Scumbag Who Eats Soft Rice and Takes It Hard 2

    The current plot time point is when the scumbag wants the right to manage the grain shop and is saying some ambiguous things to her.

    “Xin Xin, you know, I’ve always been in a weak position. When I walk outside, many people laugh at me, saying that I’m eating soft rice…”

    Ren Xin squinted her eyes and remained silent, listening to the scumbag complain about his own misery and hardship.

    Feng Yutao spoke for a long time, only to realize something was wrong. Normally, his wife would have comforted him out of pity, but today she remained indifferent! What’s going on?

    He stopped speaking and looked at Ren Xin, scrutinizing her.

    Ren Xin noticed Feng Yutao had stopped talking, so she curiously asked, “Why have you stopped? Go on, I’m getting a bit sleepy. Don’t stop, your story is actually quite interesting.”

    Feng Yutao became angry and flustered. “Do you look down on me too? Are you thinking the same as those people, that I’m eating soft rice? I’m a scholar. You know my abilities. If I didn’t like you, I would never have to endure such accusations…”

    Ren Xin didn’t answer his question. She just lightly smiled and said, “Feng Yutao, actually, I think you’re pretty ordinary. In fact, a little full of yourself.”

    Feng Yutao: “………”

    He stood up angrily, flinging his sleeves as if to leave. Ren Xin stopped him, but Feng Yutao turned his back, showing a smug smile. However, after hearing Ren Xin’s words, the smile quickly disappeared.

    “You told me last time that you wanted to bring your parents here. I’ve thought about it, and I’d rather not. I’m not used to living with old people. If you miss them, you can always go back to see them. As for the rest, forget it.”

    Feng Yutao was furious. He harshly PUAed her, “Those are my parents, your in-laws. You’re being unfilial. How could you be this kind of person? If I had known, I wouldn’t have married you in the first place.”

    Ren Xin shrugged indifferently. “Actually, we can get a divorce. That way, you wouldn’t have to be in such a difficult position.”

    Feng Yutao was left speechless, unable to respond. Finally, he spat out, “You better not threaten me with divorce. You know I won’t leave you.”

    Ren Xin nodded understandingly. “Alright, you can go now. Focus on your studies and the imperial exams. Don’t worry about business matters. You’re just not cut out for it. By the way, with your ambition, you won’t take the dowry my family left for me, right? Hmm… I knew you were someone with a strong sense of pride. I won’t make it hard for you. From now on, I won’t stop you from being self-reliant. I believe in you~”

    Feng Yutao: “………”

    Once he left, Ren Xin rolled her eyes in disdain. This man reeked of scum from head to toe. The original owner really found a gem in a garbage heap.

    Her maid, Chuntao, uneasily asked, “Miss, it looks like the young master is angry. Are we really not going to support him anymore?”

    “Support him? Don’t say that in the future. He’s not my servant. We can’t go against his wishes too much. Besides, with his sense of pride, we should respect his opinions.”

    Not far away, Feng Yutao, who had stopped to listen to what Ren Xin would say, wore a dark expression. This woman clearly never thought highly of him.

    His mother was right—once the money was in hand, this woman would do whatever she wanted with him!

    After sending the scumbag away, Ren Xin planned to go out shopping and spend some money, taking her silly maid with her, swaying her hips as she walked out.

    Chuntao disapproved, saying, “Miss, your walking posture isn’t right. If Madam were here, she would scold you again. This is improper.”

    Ren Xin waved her hand indifferently. “I’m just taking it slow. I was posing earlier, and now my body’s a bit stiff.”

    Chuntao was confused. Posing? What kind of posing?

    But whatever the Miss said must be for a reason. The Miss is always right!!
