Chapter 52: Digging Up Your Doghouse

Old Mrs. Chen almost fainted when she saw this. She had finally gotten rid of him last time. If he knew the truth about her separation and severing ties with her eldest son's family, this vicious scoundrel would definitely skin her alive.

She quickly stretched out her arms to stop him, "Grandson-in-law, you can't go. Listen to what grandma is explaining to you."

"Get out of here, you old bastard."

Butcher Li pushed Old Lady Chen aside with his eyes wide open, and walked in with his scarred face and squinting eyes behind him.

Scarface saw Chen Qingqing standing under the cowshed as soon as he entered the yard. He pointed and said, "Brother, is that girl our new sister-in-law?"

When Butcher Li saw Chen Qingqing, his eyes lit up immediately and he laughed lewdly, "Yes, she is your new sister-in-law."

"You're really good-looking, brother. You're so lucky!" Scarface smiled frivolously.

"Of course I spent fifty taels of silver on her!"

Butcher Li came up to Chen Qingqing and said with a grin, "My wife, your husband is here to take you home."

Chen Qingqing warned loudly with a serious expression,

"Butcher Li, I'm telling you again, I'm not your bride, and there's no one here you're looking for. If you dare to yell again, I'll report you to the authorities for defaming someone."

The man with the crooked neck and squinting eyes looked smug and shook his legs. "Oh, you dare to scare people with the government? My new sister-in-law is quite good at talking!"

Scarface also looked arrogant, "That's right, I've already taken the money, and you're still trying to shirk your responsibility. If you dare to say no again, I'll tear down your doghouse."

When Chen Zhanshan heard the sound, he hurried out of the house, blocked Chen Qingqing behind him, and said angrily,

"You bunch of beasts, stop bullying my daughter. Breaking into a private house in broad daylight, are there any laws in the world? If you don't want me to report you to the police, get out of my house right now."

Scarface rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists, "You blind bastard, who are you calling a beast? Are you itching for trouble?" He was about to take action.

Butcher Li quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Scar, don't mess around, this is my father-in-law."

"No wonder he started cursing, it turns out he's my eldest brother's father-in-law," Scarface sneered.

Chen Zhanshan's face turned pale. "My daughter hasn't arranged a marriage yet. Stop talking nonsense and leave my house immediately."

Butcher Li snorted disdainfully, "Father-in-law, don't be so angry. I'll leave right after I pick him up."

Chen Qingqing glanced at the shivering Old Lady Chen and knew that she still had illusions about her, so she didn't tell Li the butcher about the breakup.

This old woman is so shameless. She is still daydreaming at this time. Where does she get her confidence from?

Chen Qingqing's eyes were cold as she looked at Li the Butcher with a stern face. "I repeat, Chen Zhonghou's family and I have severed our relationship. It was Old Lady Chen who took your betrothal money. If you want to find your bride, go ask her for it. Don't cause trouble in my house."

Butcher Li laughed heartily, his face full of disbelief. Old Lady Chen had accepted fifty taels of silver, so how could she possibly break off the engagement at this time?

This girl must be lying. She didn't like him. He acted like a scoundrel.

"My dear, why are you doing this again? Can't you do something else? You're breaking off the engagement? Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Chen Qingqing didn't want to waste any more words. She took out the letter of severance from her pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Li the butcher. "Look carefully, it's clearly written in black and white. If you don't want to be charged with trespassing, get out of my house right now."

"What the hell is this? I can't read!" Li the butcher looked at it for a long time, but couldn't make out what it meant. He said to the crooked-necked man beside him, "Slant-eyed, you know how to read? Take a quick look at what's written on it."

The crooked-necked man blinked and looked at it for a long time, then whispered in Li the Butcher's ear, "Brother, what's written above is correct. This girl's family and that old woman have really severed their relationship. Let's leave quickly and don't get entangled with this girl. If we really make a big deal out of this, we'll have to face a lawsuit."

"That damn old woman really fooled me." Butcher Li gritted his teeth, the flesh on his face trembling with anger. He turned to look at Old Lady Chen behind him, "You old fool, what the hell is going on?"

Matchmaker Zhao also came up from behind, stretched her neck to take a look, and was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She immediately burst into swear words, "Old Chen, you old pervert, you really screwed me over. What kind of thing did you do?"

Old Mrs. Chen was so frightened that her calves were cramping. She said in a trembling voice, "Big brother, big sister, don't be so angry. Let's go back to the house and discuss it."

"The engagement's already broken off, what's the point of discussing this?" Matchmaker Zhao put her hands on her waist and pointed at Old Lady Chen angrily. "Do you think it's fun to play tricks on me like this? Tell me what we're going to do about this."

Old Mrs. Chen's face turned yellow, and she stammered, "This, this, this, this is all my fault. Blame me. No, no, no, but don't worry. If there is anything, we can discuss it together."

Old Mrs. Chen was so anxious that her head was buzzing.

Butcher Li's teeth were chattering. "What kind of discussion are we having? This is really going too far. I'm so angry! If I don't destroy your doghouse, I won't be able to calm down."

"You're really asking for trouble! I think you're tired of living." Scarface spat and waved his hand in frustration, "Go, tear down their doghouse for me."

This action scared Old Man Chen so much that he almost wet his pants. He was worried that if these beasts really got angry and tore down the house, where would his family live?

It’s all this damn old woman’s fault. She’s so self-righteous and arrogant all the time. Now, she’s offended a living ancestor. This is going to be fatal!

Now that a knife was at his neck, he could no longer play coward. He hurriedly blocked the way of several people with trembling body, "Calm down, good man, let's talk it over nicely. You can't demolish my house."

Butcher Li glared at him and said, "You old bastard, it's fine if you don't want to demolish it, but you better find me a wife right away, or I'll beat you to a pulp."

"Yes, tell me the truth quickly, or I'll beat you to death, you old bastard." Scarface waved his fist viciously.

"No, no, no, don't do it, let's talk it over."

Old man Chen had been farming all his life and had never encountered anything like this before. He was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body and he could hardly speak clearly.

"Old man, old woman, don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and tell them not to tear down the house!"
