I could hear the noisy sounds from far away.

"If you don't return the betrothal money to Zhao Jiawei today, I will sue you in court!"

Chen Lichu heard his son's voice and explained to the people around him: "This is my son Lu Yaozu. The betrothal gift he gave to your Xiaohui was my son's hard-earned money. His wife secretly gave it to her family without his knowledge."

"That's five hundred yuan. My family goes to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves that others don't want to eat." Chen Lichu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and his eyes turned slightly red.

Yang Hongmei patted her shoulder gently and said, "Don't be anxious, sister. If it's really like what you said, we will definitely not get married. You can ask for the betrothal money back when the time comes."

Chen Lichu looked at her gratefully.

"Ah? Not getting married?" Liu Xiaohui became anxious when she heard that she couldn't get married.

Although she and Zhao Jiawei were not together for too long, only a few months.

But she always thought Zhao Jiawei was a particularly good person.

He is honest, kind to others, hardworking and motivated, and most importantly, he is very good and gentle to her.

She felt that meeting Zhao Jiawei was a blessing from her previous life.

Her mother had clearly met Zhao Jiawei several times. How could she believe a stranger's one-sided words?

Yang Hongmei sighed: "Silly girl, no one would slander others for no reason, and I don't believe Jiawei is that kind of person, so I want to come and see it with my own eyes."

Now she was also skeptical about Chen Lichu's words. After all, Zhao Jiawei performed too well in front of them.

She decided to hide in the crowd and secretly take a look at what was going on inside.

Although Liu Xiaohui didn't want to believe it, she felt that what her mother said made sense.

It’s better to see with your own eyes what is going on.

"I'll pay your mother back!"

"This is my sister's money. She saved it to marry me off!"

Zhao Jiawei grabbed Lu Yaozu who was sitting on the ground and punched him.

He was stopped by the village chief who couldn't help but lecture him: "They are a couple, so of course the money belongs to them. Your sister is married and is saving money for you to get married. It's your parents' job to save money for you to get married!"

"People say that the eldest brother is like a father, so is the eldest sister like a mother, and the eldest brother-in-law like a father wrong?"

"It's only natural for my sister to spend money on me."

"How dare you, a grown man, think about your wife's money!"

"Bah!"

Zhao Jiawei spat at Lu Yaozu.

Lu Yaozu was quick-eyed and quick-footed and dodged it.

He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Why didn't he realize before that Zhao Jiawei was a unreasonable bastard.

There is absolutely no point in arguing with him.

"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. That means both parents are dead."

"What's going on? Your parents are dead, so you can only rely on your sister?"

"Besides, you work in a machinery factory and your monthly salary is more than mine. Do you have the nerve to ask us for money?" Lu Yaozu was not to be outdone and spat at Zhao Jiawei's feet.

Zhao Jiawei was not as smart as him. The spit happened to land on his new shoes. He rushed over in rage, grabbed Lu Yaozu by the collar and punched him in the face.

"You bastard, who are you cursing to death? Jiawei, beat him to death!" Zhao's mother Ye Fengchun fanned the flames.

Zhao Jiawei's fists swung more and more vigorously.

When the village chief saw that a fight had broken out, he quickly went to pull the two men apart.

Lu Yaozu originally wanted to fight back when the village chief was pulling Zhao Jiawei, but when he saw Chen Lichu in the crowd, he remembered what she had told him on the way.

If he fights back, it's a fight; if he doesn't fight back, he gets beaten.

There is a big difference between the two.

He is a smart man. He feels his hand hurts if he hits back. It is better to hold back and extort more money from him.

"I'm here to help you two families solve the problem, not to watch you fight!" The village chief took a long time to pull the two people apart.

"Okay, then let's solve the problem." Lu Yaozu pointed at Zhao Xiaofang and said, "Tell me yourself, is the 500 yuan betrothal gift for your brother's marriage yours or mine?"

"You usually live in my house, eat my mother's food, drink my mother's drinks, save your own salary and support your mother's family. I have always turned a blind eye to it and never said anything to you, right?"

"Now your brother has no money to marry, and you use my money to help him get married. You are a family of heartless people. Not only do you not show gratitude, but you also beat me up like this." Lu Yaozu pointed at his face and showed it to the crowd watching at the door.

"Everyone, look at my face. It was my mother-in-law and brother-in-law who beat me."

Lu Yaozu grabbed Zhao Xiaofang, who was standing beside him, and pinched her chin, forcing her head up. "And Zhao Xiaofang's face, that was also caused by her mother."

"Have you ever seen this kind of person? Beating his son-in-law is not enough, so he takes it out on his own daughter."

Zhao Xiaofang smoothed the hair on her forehead, trying to cover her scratched face.

She felt very ashamed.

After helping his own family in this way, he ended up being beaten and scolded.

Now she is despised by her husband and mother-in-law.

How did she end up being unpopular with both sides?

Looking at Zhao Jiawei, looking at her parents, and then looking at Lu Yaozu, everyone was looking at her with threatening eyes.

It was as if if she sided with one side, the other side would never let her go.

She came back last night to tip off her family, fearing that their parents' family would suffer.

What's the result?

Her parents scolded her for being useless, saying that she couldn't even take care of her own man and was being chased by him for money. Her brother scolded her for being useless, saying that she couldn't help at all and was just making things worse.

He got so angry with the scolding that he started beating and kicking him again.

In comparison, Lu Yaozu treated her much better. At least in the past few years since she married into the Lu family, Lu Yaozu had always held her in the palm of his hand.

No matter how angry he was, he never hit her.

If she had seen through her family earlier and not given them money, Lu Yaozu wouldn't have been so disappointed in her.

Things wouldn't have gotten to this point.

"Zhao Xiaofang, say something!" Lu Yaozu urged anxiously.

"Think carefully before you speak, girl! If you keep talking nonsense, I won't tear your mouth apart!"

Faced with Ye Fengchun's vicious threat, Zhao Xiaofang had already made up her mind.

Rather than going back to her parents' home and being beaten and scolded, it would be better to go back and coax Lu Yaozu.

She believed that Lu Yaozu had feelings for her. As long as she helped him get the money back and coaxed him, their relationship would definitely be restored to normal.

"Village chief, this money is indeed saved from my husband's salary."

"My family couldn't afford the betrothal gift for Jiawei to marry a wife, so I secretly took the money from my husband."

After Zhao Xiaofang finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yaozu guiltily and said, "I've already told my parents that this money is a loan, and I will definitely pay it back to you in the future."

"Don't be angry."

"You silly girl, you started to become disloyal after you got married, right?" When Ye Fengchun heard Zhao Xiaofang say that, he rushed over angrily and slapped her left and right in the face.
