Chapter 117 Whoever starts trouble first will be punished!
Come out from the Gu family’s old house.
Seeing that several families nearby had come out to watch the fun, Li Tao deliberately raised her voice and complained to He Lizheng, saying that Gu Qinghuai had extorted ten taels of silver from Li Chunwei, and hoped that He Lizheng could come forward and help get the silver back.
He Lizheng looked at the people nearby who were craning their necks to watch the excitement, then glanced at the Li family, suppressed his anger, and said loudly: "I know what you are talking about, but this cannot be called 'blackmail'.
Gu Qinghuai asked you to pay back the betrothal gift within three days, but you delayed the time and deliberately gave the betrothal gift to Liu Damai. The Gu family and the fourth Gu family have long been separated, and the two families are like water and fire. Don't you know?
What are you thinking? Do you think I don't know? Do you think the villagers don't know? You have bad intentions and angered that girl. You have to bear the consequences!
You should treat this matter as a lesson learned. You should be honest in your future conduct. If you have evil intentions, nothing will last long.
Anyway, I still say the same thing, I can't control other villages, but in my Tuniu Village, whoever starts trouble first will be punished!"
A few onlookers suddenly laughed, and it was unclear whether they were making fun of the Li family.
Being scolded so bluntly by He Lizheng in front of so many people, every member of the Li family was so angry that their faces turned pale.
Li Dayong's eyes flashed with viciousness, but he forced a smile on his face: "Thanks for the trouble He Lizheng has caused. Forget it, we don't want the ten taels of silver. Gu Laosi's family is also in a difficult situation, just think of it as my family helping them."
"It's not a favor, that money is what Gu Laosi's family deserves," He Lizheng picked out the words seriously.
"Yes, that's what He Lizheng taught me," Li Dayong bit his back teeth and bowed.
He Lizheng glanced at the Li family, sighed, said "Take care of yourself", then turned around and walked away.
Li Tao spat in the direction he left, "Bah! Old idiot! Filthy bastard! I wonder what good that widow Gu Qinghuai gave you that made you protect her everywhere!"
Li Chunmei sneered and raised her voice to sneer, "What benefits? Humph, is there any need to explain? It's either money or sex. Zhao Ying and Gu Qinghuai, the mother and daughter, are both slutty whores who can seduce people! Broke whores!"
Kuhua Nai's home was not far from the Gu family's old house. When she heard what Li Chunmei said, she immediately walked out of the door and angrily scolded: "Li Chunmei! You are so young and you don't learn well. You just say obscene words! You have shit in your eyes, and you see shit in others. Don't you look at yourself? With your character, whoever marries you will be unlucky!"
Li Chunmei was so angry that she jumped up and down: "You damn old woman! What does it have to do with you? What? Seeing that Gu Qinghuai has become rich, you also want to lick his ass and curry favor with him?"
Grandma Kuhua was so angry that her heart stagnated. Just as she was about to retort, she was dragged back by her two daughters-in-law.
After a while, Aunt Kuhua's eldest daughter-in-law, Tang Jin, came out, bowed to the Li family, and said apologetically, "Uncle Li, Aunt Tao, Chunxi, Chunsheng, Chunwei, Chunmei, I'm sorry, my old woman is a lowly, unpresentable old woman, you must not bother with her!"
Upon hearing this, Li Tao smiled in an extremely friendly manner, "My dear niece, it's good that you understand. You don't know how treacherous and vicious Gu Qinghuai is. Well, forget it, I won't say anything. If I mention it a little, others will say that I have evil intentions."
Li Chunwei also smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Tang, you are sensible. When you have time, come to the county town often. I will treat you to a meal. If you want to buy any furniture, come to my shop and have a look. I will give you a discount!"
"Oh, sister Chunwei is still very generous. Okay, I will come to see you when I have time," Tang Jin smiled warmly.
Li Chunmei looked at Tang Jinshi's flattering face and raised her chin proudly.
After saying goodbye to the Li family and returning to the yard, Tang Jin's face instantly became long.
Kuhua Nai was weaving a straw mat in the dark. Tang Jinshi walked over and kicked the straw mat away from her hand: "You damn old woman! Are you bored and have nothing to do? You have to go after Gu Laosi's family and offend the Li family? Li Chunwei's husband's family is from the city and has a big shop in the city. Can you afford to offend them?"
Kuhua Nai was so angry that she was shaking. She pointed at Tang Jinshi and cursed, "You unfilial shrew! How can you treat your mother-in-law like this? Li Chunwei's in-laws are rich. Have they given you any money? What does it have to do with you? What kind of people are the Li family? Can't you see? You are a short-sighted snob. You will suffer in the future!"
Tang Jinshi crossed her arms and said disdainfully: "Li Chunwei's in-laws never gave me a penny, so how about Gu Laosi's family giving you a penny?
Li Chunwei's husband's family is rich, so I'd like to stick with them, at least I can share in their good fortune; but everyone in Gu Laosi's family is a bunch of damn poor bastards, they should die as far away from me as possible, it's disgusting just to see them!
Damn old woman! I'm telling you, I'm the boss of this family now. If you get involved with Gu Laosi's family again, get out of here!"
"Boss! Boss! Tang Dahai! Come out! Get out! Just watch your wife bully your mother like this?! You unfilial son!" Kuhua Nai shouted towards the house.
An impatient voice of a middle-aged man came from the room: "Mom, don't you deserve this? I have long forbidden you from associating with Gu Laosi's family, but you refused to listen! Don't you cling to them every day? Go and be their mother! Let them take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life!"
Kuhua Nai's tears immediately flowed out. She murmured helplessly and shouted towards the east room: "Second brother, Tang Dajiang! Your eldest brother and his wife bullied your mother, and you didn't do anything about it?"
Tang Dajiang in the room wanted to go out to take a look, but was stopped by his wife Tang Liu.
Tang Liu glared at him, "Your eldest brother doesn't care, why do you, the second brother, care about other people's business?"
Tang Dajiang looked displeased: "That's my mother!"
Tang Liu's face darkened. "It's your mother, so what? You're such a confused old woman! You have to get involved with Old Fourth Gu's family! You have no foresight! Let the eldest wife deal with her, and we won't interfere!"
Tang Dajiang sighed, "Aunt Zhao's mother and my mother are close friends, as close as sisters. When my mother was a child, she was bullied at home, and it was Aunt Zhao's mother who protected her everywhere."
Tang Liu curled her lips and said, "What kind of friendship do you mean? It's been so many years, how can we still maintain such a trivial relationship?
Your mother is so old now, and she is no longer of any use. She is simply a burden to our Tang family. We have done our best to give her food and keep her alive.
Husband, you have to focus your thoughts and energy on our second house and our children! What good can come from being involved with the Fourth Elder Gu's family?"
