Chapter 217 Should Have Been Rich...
"Snapped!"
"You stinky bitch, you are such a troublemaker! You don't want to pick the good herbs, but you have to cause trouble everywhere!
I tell you, you have to figure out what to do with the problems you caused! If you touch anything in the house, I will divorce you!"
Old man Liu didn't hold back at all and slapped Mrs. Sun in the face with all his might.
Now that everyone has made money, he has to be stuck at home and laughed at. It’s all the fault of the old woman!
If she had used a little more brains and collected herbs properly, she wouldn't have lost so much face!
Granny Sun took two solid slaps before she dodged, screaming in disbelief, "You want to divorce me? You're forcing me to die!"
They were already so old, and the old man actually wanted to divorce her! Just for a few ounces of silver, he didn't care whether she lived or died?
Normally, he would beat and scold her, and he wouldn't care if she had food to eat. But at this time, he pushed her out and said that she was not allowed to take things from the house!
Granny Sun looked at Old Man Liu with disdain and shivered with fear. Thinking about the grievances she had suffered over the years, she burst out in anger:
"I'm going to beat this annoying old man to death! Why didn't you divorce me when I gave birth to your children, washed your clothes and cooked for you? Now that something bad has happened, you want to divorce me!
You are not a human being! When Da Zhuang died, it was you who said that his wife and children were a burden and that you wanted to separate them!
For your own sake, you let me make a scene, and when the whole village scolded me, you didn't say a word to help me!
You also know about the herbal medicine collection. Didn't you say that you got some benefits and bought me some wine to try? But things went wrong and you blame me? Do you want to divorce me?
Half of the things in the house were also saved by me with great efforts, why can't I take them? Why!
You wimp! You are the only one who has a sense of shame. I have endured so much for your face! I will beat you to death, you old man!
Anyway, my family has no one left. If you ask me to divorce you, I will die. I will drag you down with me even if I die, and let you harm me!"
Mrs. Sun was obviously furious. She rode on Old Man Liu and beat him up. Not only did Old Man Liu fail to react, everyone was also dumbfounded.
"I never thought Brother Liu was this kind of person. He usually looks honest and doesn't talk much, but I didn't expect him to have so many thoughts and such complicated thoughts?"
"So it was his idea to kick Xiangxiu's family out! Is he afraid of being criticized so he let Granny Sun take the blame? What kind of man is he! He dares to do something but not to take responsibility!"
"Tsk tsk, you want to divorce your wife for a few ounces of silver. You are so old, don't you have any shame?
I just heard from Granny Sun that he knew about the collection of herbs and was trying to take advantage of it! No wonder he pushed Granny Sun into this state?"
As everyone was talking, they suddenly felt that Mrs. Sun was also a pitiful person.
Aunt Li said "Pah" and put an end to everyone's chastity. "This is what they call two different people sleeping in the same bed. A tortoise and a turtle are from the same family!"
Everyone suddenly became clear-headed. Aren’t they acting like a family?
She hides at home every day and gossips about others. Her mind is full of thoughts of taking advantage of others. When there are benefits, she shamelessly accuses others. When she gets into trouble, she runs away faster than anyone else. She just wants to pass on the blame. There is no difference between Mrs. Sun and Old Man Liu!
Everyone could watch Old Man Liu and Grandma Sun fighting each other, and they could laugh at the joke, but the head of the village couldn't just sit there and do nothing; he was really worried about them!
Seeing that Old Man Liu and Granny Sun's two sons and daughters-in-law were standing by and watching without moving, he became even more furious. "Er Zhuang, San Zhuang! What's wrong with your parents? Why don't you pull them away quickly!"
I really don't know how the kids were taught? Their parents were fighting, and they still had the time to watch the fun!
Liu Erzhuang and Liu Sanzhuang shuddered and quickly stepped forward to pull the two apart. Mrs. Sun's face was swollen and her wrinkles seemed to have decreased a lot. Old man Liu also did not look good, with blood marks all over his face and a bald spot.
"You damned bitch, why are you having an epilepsy?"
He was completely disgraced! Being beaten by an old woman and being talked about nonsense, it would be strange if the whole village didn't gossip about him in the future!
The head of the village said angrily, "Shut up! You guys are talking about your own family affairs behind closed doors, and you don't think it's shameful enough!
Now bring the one tael of silver from Chen An and his wife! If you can’t come up with the silver, use something else to pay it off!”
Old man Liu has always been so useless. He beats his wife and children at every turn, and he still acts like a good guy. He has always looked down on him.
Now that his wife has gotten into trouble, he is beating her up and shouting that he wants to divorce her. He is saying this for them to hear! Do you think that you don't have to pay the money?
Old Liu's face wrinkled like a bitter melon. "Brother head of the village, don't you know what my family's situation is like? Where can I get a tael of silver?"
Please forgive us this time and promise not to speak nonsense again!"
After saying that, he immediately pleaded with Cheng Yue and Chen An, "Nephew Chen An, niece-in-law, I will divorce this old woman today! Just consider it as an explanation to you, okay?"
The village head was afraid that the couple would be in trouble, so he directly blocked Old Man Liu's mouth and said, "Whether to divorce your wife is your family matter, how can you confuse it with paying compensation!
The people who were collecting herbs didn't leave you behind. You were the ones who didn't know what was good for you and slandered them, and even went to their house to make trouble! They haven't bothered with you yet, so you have done your best!
Your wife herself promised to pay the compensation! What, do you want to go back on your word?"
The head of the village saw through Old Man Liu's thoughts, and his face turned red and blue.
Aunt Li sneered, "Asking you to pay compensation is already a way of letting you off the hook! Look at Chen Gen, he was charged with the same crime as you, but he was also made to pay compensation and was also beaten with a stick!
It's because Cheng Yue couldn't bear to see you get old, otherwise she would have thrown you into the government office long ago. You can't push your luck!"
"Slandering others is a serious crime that ruins their reputation! If you really go to the government, your whole family will suffer. It's hard to say whether you can get out in one piece. Isn't one ounce of silver worth several lives?"
Aunt Li and Aunt Zhou worked together, talking back and forth, and frightened Old Liu and the others so much that they were speechless. They also took the opportunity to flatter Cheng Yue.
Liu Erzhuang and Liu Sanzhuang were about to cry, "Dad, Mom! We don't want to go to the government office!"
They didn't participate in anything, so why did they have to be implicated in the bad luck? Other parents know how to save good things for their children, but their parents only harm them!
Big brother is still the best. He can just die with his feet kicked up, and you don’t have to suffer this anger!
Now that things have come to this, Old Man Liu can only accept his fate and say, "We'll pay!"
Mrs. Sun quickly handed over the two hundred coins in her hand, and then went into the house to look for money. However, there were only more than six hundred coins in the house, which was not enough when added together.
Finally, they caught the only two old hens in the house, and all the money they had saved was gone!
Cheng Yue received the silver and the old hen, and looked at the desperate Liu family members and said deliberately: "All the things have been compensated, and this matter is over. If it happens again, I will not be so easy to talk to.
Hey, I also know that you are not doing well, so I specially let you collect herbs to make money this time. Who would have thought that Aunt Sun was harmed by someone with ulterior motives? Hey... you should have made money..."
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. Once he said it, Old Man Liu and the two brothers of the Liu family became more and more unbalanced. Yes! They should have been rich!
My mother (wife) is brainless, but the people who should be blamed most are Zhao and Chen Ping!
Why should I lose money and the old hen while they are safe and sound?
