Chapter 321
Hattie Zimmer was raised in Crystalbrook Valley and naturally had a soft spot for the two sons of Neil’s brother.
When Neil proposed to Lillian, Hattie was totally against it. She thought Lillian’s body was not up for the task of childbirth. She even feuded with Neil over this, but he ultimately convinced her.
After Neil married, Hattie was pissed to find out Lillian was already pregnant before the wedding.
If she’d known about the pregnancy beforehand, she would’ve saved herself the 300 bucks she spent on the wedding gift. She gave Lillian a piece of her mind that night, accusing her of hiding the pregnancy and thereby hiking up her own value!
So, the day Neil and Lillian marned, Hattie threw them into the near–collapsing side house and took back her wedding gift.
Lillian was an artist. Her family was alright, but they definitely weren’t rolling in dough.
And by that time, her family was pretty much dwindled, which pissed Hattie off even more.
No family support meant no money, and getting married into the Pennyfeather family just meant she was at their mercy, right?
Neil seemed to be quite into Lillian and had several arguments with his parents over her.
Then, right after Lillian gave birth, Neil took her off to Greenfield. Everyone was sure they were living hard in Greenfield and thus stopped contacting them to avoid them asking for money.
Who would’ve thought that he actually moved into a mansion in Greenfield?!
He hadn’t contacted them for all these years!
Hattie was fuming as if her own money had been wasted!
Maja sat quietly on the couch, “Weren’t you the one who said that we shouldn’t contact each other?”
Those were the exact words they spat out when they were swinging brooms at people back in Crystalbrook Valley.
Maja’s eyes shone brightly as she stared down Hattie,
“You said it yourself that people of no worth shouldn’t be stepping foot into the Penny feather household.”
Hattie’s face froze. She had said those words and didn’t expect Maja to remember them so clearly.
Maja, I’m your grandmother! Don’t you know how to show respect? Your parents clearly didn’t raise you right. Well, let me teach you a lesson today!”
In Crystalbrook Valley, it wasn’t uncommon for a wife to be hit by her mother–in–law. Hattie had a fair share of history in that department, and even Lillian had taken a few hits.
Hattie was a tough cookie and kept pushing for more grandkids. She urged Lillian to have another one right after she gave birth to the first and suggested discarding the newborn daughter.
There were quite a few abandoned baby girls at the hospital back then, as every family wanted a son.
The poorer the place, the more they wanted boys..
Maja found this ridiculous, but she also wanted to know why Hattie Zimmer and Abram Penny feather were here today.
Hattie was already advancing, arm raised to slap Maja, but Maja caught her wrist and shoved her back.
Although Hattie was physically fit, she was no longer young and nearly fell from the push.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
