Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 381: So What If I’m Bullying You?
Chapter 381: Chapter 381: So What If I’m Bullying You?
Thinking of something, his eyes narrowed, "You say you won’t sell to me just because you say so? Who do you think you are? Call your boss out here and let him see what kind of employees he’s hired."
"Even if the boss comes out, he definitely won’t sell buns to scum like you. Get lost if you know what’s good for you, and don’t hinder our business here."
Zhang Wenbin had never been pointed at and cursed at in public like this, and found Zhang Guilan even more unreasonable and aggressive.
He turned to a young server and said, "Go call your boss, I don’t believe your boss would miss out on business just to let her point fingers here."
The young server did not want to pay him any attention, but Zhang Wenbin repeated his demand.
An old man from behind couldn’t stand it anymore and patted his arm, "They don’t sell you buns, so just leave already. Instead of arguing, you should think about why they won’t sell to you. Qin Family’s business is known for being fair; you probably offended them."
"That’s right, we come here to buy buns every day and we’ve never heard of them refusing to sell to anyone. You don’t look like a good person; just go away quickly and don’t block the way."
While they were speaking, Zhang Wenbin was pushed to the side again. This time, the crowd formed a ring around him, not leaving even a small gap for him to squeeze through.
Everyone looked at him with eyes that seemed to see him as trash.
Zhang Wenbin became infuriated with embarrassment. Since they wouldn’t sell to him at the window, he would go straight to the main hall.
If the young server wouldn’t call the boss for him, he would find the boss himself.
The Qin Family had cost him his job, hadn’t they? An eye for an eye - he would make sure Zhang Guilan lost her job too.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Qin Han emerge from behind the counter, looking fierce and intimidating.
"Zhang Wenbin, how dare you show your face here?"
Seeing Qin Han’s demeanor, the pain that Zhang Wenbin had been trying to ignore flared up once again.
Not bothering to seek trouble with Zhang Guilan, he asked coldly, "Qin Han, let’s be clear about this. Did you hit me last night? It’s a society ruled by law nowadays, and it’s illegal for you to assault someone for no reason."
Qin Han looked at him and sneered, "Zhang Wenbin, you actually got something right..."
Hearing him admit it, a gleam flashed in Zhang Wenbin’s eyes.
They had gotten rid of his job, yet their family still wants to live a good life with no consequences? Not happening.
Not only would he get their job positions terminated today, but he would also file a report at the police station against them, making them pay compensation, even see them imprisoned.
But the very next second, he heard Qin Han continue, "I am indeed someone who doesn’t do shady things. If I were to hit you, I would do it out in the open. There’s no need to put a sack over your head in the middle of the night. Unlike some people who are all bark but no bite—they can only beat their wives behind closed doors. It’s no wonder you got beat up in the wee hours; against scum like you, everyone would want to kick you twice."
"You’re defying the law. Where is your boss? Call your boss out here."
With such an employee, he couldn’t believe the boss would keep them on.
"Are you blind?" Qin Han sneered, "I am the owner of the Bun Shop. What business do you have with me?"
"You’re the boss?" Zhang Wenbin blurted out subconsciously, then remembered that while lining up, everyone had said that Qin Family’s business practices were fair, and he also recalled the signboard of Qin’s Buns Shop.
"Impossible," Zhang Wenbin took a step back, unable to believe this fact.
How could a brute like Qin Han be the boss?
Seeing his reaction, Qin Han almost wished he could kick him, "Get lost while I’m still not angry, and don’t ever say that Qin’s Buns Shop refused to sell you buns. If I catch you loitering around our doorstep again, watch how I won’t be polite to you."
Zhang Wenbin’s face flushed with humiliation, "Qin Han, you’re going too far..."
Not selling him buns was one thing, but also not allowing him to pass by Qin’s Buns Shop’s doorstep?
It was simply too domineering.
"I’m bullying you, what can you do about it?"
Qin Han said and then addressed the customers buying buns, "This is the guy who not only beats his own wife but also messes around with other women. He was even caught in bed..."
Nowadays, others might not comment on a couple fighting, but having illicit relationships with others, that will definitely earn contempt.
Most of those who get up early to queue for buns are elderly men and women, and they seem ready to spit on Zhang Wenbin.
"No wonder they refuse to sell you buns. You have a wife but still mess around outside. You were caught in the act; how can you have the face to show up in public?"
"I knew the Qin Family wouldn’t refuse to sell buns to you for no reason. If I were doing business, I wouldn’t sell to someone like you either."
"Now scram, people like you deserve to be denounced by everyone."
.............
Zhang Wenbin couldn’t take it anymore and turned away in embarrassment.
The Bun Shop quickly returned to order, and Zhang Guilan sneaked a glance at her husband.
Her husband said he would go out for a stroll with his younger brother last night, and she wondered what was there to stroll about in such cold weather late at night. It turns out he went out to beat someone up.
Qin Han felt uneasy under his wife’s gaze and explained with a smile, "Last night..."
"Good beating," Zhang Guilan interrupted Qin Han with gritted teeth, "People like him deserve to be beaten up not just once; it’s not satisfying. You and your brother are useless. Look at him, jumping around as if nothing happened."
Qin Han, who was just about to make up a story: "..."
Elsewhere, Zhang Wenbin’s steps quickened.
Utter humiliation, this is absolute humiliation. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
He felt no less humiliated than the day Qin Yang and his people caught him in Li Wenhong’s bed.
He never imagined that Qin’s Buns Shop was actually owned by Qin Han.
No wonder the Qin Family people act so arrogantly, no wonder they pushed Qin Juan to divorce him.
This is why poor people shouldn’t become rich.
These bumpkins should just spend their whole lives growing crops in the fields. When they come out to do business, this is the outcome.
Having earned a bit of dirty money, they forget their roots, forget where they came from, and at the end of the day, they forget their origins.
"Wenbin, you’re finally back. Your wife hasn’t even gotten up yet. I’ve slaved over cooking all morning, and she won’t eat. We’re not raising a princess to this extent, are we? You need to have a serious talk with her. What kind of daughter-in-law is like her? Even if she doesn’t care for your father and me, she should take care of her husband, right? I know your father and I have a hard life and can’t count on you guys anymore, but you’re my son. I’ve pampered you since you were little, never letting you suffer. When have you ever worried about family matters in your over 30 years? A man should do great things outside. With a wife like that, how can you focus on expanding your career?"
Mrs. Zhang thought hard last night and knew that her old tactics on Qin Juan wouldn’t work anymore, so she immediately changed her strategy.
Indeed, Zhang Wenbin was somewhat touched, but only for a few seconds, "Mom, Wenhong is different from before," he now even disliked mentioning that name, "Wenhong is educated and capable, even if she’s lost her job now, she’ll find a new one later. She’s a new-age woman who refuses to stay home just to look after kids and handle chores; please be more understanding."
Mrs. Zhang: "..."
She understands her, but who understands her?
Zhang Wenbin continued, "Mom, you’ve already ruined the previous family I had. If you drive Wenhong away, do you think your son will ever be able to find another wife?"
He definitely didn’t want to live a life without a wife.
It was embarrassing enough that Qin Juan divorced him. At least with Li Wenhong, he could regain some face.
Mrs. Zhang: "..."
