Chapter 322 Erniu is completely wrong!

Fang Xiaodi opened his mouth, looked at his mother incredulously, and slowly shook his head, saying, "Mom, you're hopeless."

"Mom, take out the money you prepared for Erniu. Erniu would rather you use this money than let you take Su Laosan's money."

Brother Fang remained calm, glanced outside the courtyard after speaking, and added, "We'll pay them back in cash, based on the market price of what they ate."

Erniu's mother paused for a moment, glanced at Erniu's room door, and said "Oh".

"Okay, Mom will listen to you."

Brother Fang nodded slightly, then looked at his younger brother, "You stay with Mom and remind her when the time is right."

"good."

Brother Fang looked at his father again and said, "Dad, come out with us and tell Grandpa and Grandma what I just said to Mom, and tell them to do as I say. Dad, this is about whether our family can continue to live a decent life in the village. Right now, I can only rely on you, you..."

"No, no, I can't."

Erniu's father shook his head and waved his hands, unwilling to take on the job.

Brother Fang stared at him intently, and Erniu's father sighed, "Eldest son, don't look at me like that. Your grandparents make all the decisions, big and small, at home. How could I possibly do this..."

“If Dad can’t do it, so be it. At worst, our whole family will be kicked out of the village by the villagers and live a life of homelessness and wandering around…” Brother Fang said.

Erniu's father exclaimed "Ah!" and looked at his son's serious face. He licked his lips and chuckled dryly, "Then, then I'll definitely make it happen."

Brother Fang glanced around and gestured to Erniu's mother, "Go get the things, Weidong, go help Mom."

Fang Xiaodi sighed and pushed his mother back into the house.

A moment later, the two men came out carrying a pile of things. Brother Fang straightened his clothes and called to his father, "Let's go."

A family of four appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and the villagers pointed at them and shouted.

"Give me my money back!"

"Give me back my dried vegetables..."

"...My cloth!"

Erniu's mother looked at Brother Fang nervously. Brother Fang lowered his eyes, and his younger brother nudged her with his elbow, "Mom, put the things down."

The items were laid out, numbering about twenty: scraps of cloth, beaded flowers, and even a ball of bright red yarn. A little girl rushed over, grabbed the ball of yarn, and shouted, "This is my red hair tie!"

The villagers rushed over when they saw their own belongings.

The villagers, unhappy at not finding their belongings, glared at Brother Fang reproachfully, "My dried green beans are all gone..."

"And the dried eggplants I made..."

Brother Fang visits his mother.

Erniu's mother swallowed hard and repeated to the others what Brother Fang had taught her, in a serious and methodical manner.

Grandma Fang received a tip from Brother Fang relayed by Erniu's father. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she agreed with his approach and dropped the broom to go back and get her things.

When the villagers saw that the dried vegetables that no one wanted could be exchanged for money, they felt that they had gotten a bargain. Even those who hadn't seen their own items took the money. The noisy and chaotic scene was quickly calmed down by Brother Fang. A few people who hadn't received their items or money looked at the Fang couple.

He raised his eyes with satisfaction and surveyed the entire room, puffed out his chest slightly, and glanced sideways at Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang.

Fang Xiaodi finally breathed a sigh of relief and glared defiantly at the two brothers from the eldest branch of the family in the crowd.

Brother Fang saw it too, his eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to raise his hand to say a few polite words to persuade the crowd to disperse when a widow squeezed through the crowd, shouting, "I gave you eight yuan, why aren't you giving it back to me?!"

Grandma Fang frowned and looked at Erniu's mother.

Erniu's mother shook her head and said, "I didn't accept it."

Grandma Fang didn't see it either, so who took it?

She turned to the widow and asked, "The Fang family is bullying us! They took the money but won't admit it, and they're bullying us orphans and widows. Is there anyone who will do something about this?"

"Don't make false accusations! Ask whoever took your money. All this crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide—I think you're just trying to extort money!" Grandma Fang spat.

Upon hearing this, the widow raised her eyes and glared fiercely at Grandma Fang. "I'm going to sue you! Your Fang Jianhua, under the guise of being the village secretary and working for the benefit of the people, has been swindling money and goods from us. Your family... is corrupt and accepting bribes!"

The whole family's expressions changed.

Brother Fang's eyes flashed fiercely as he swept over, almost losing his temper. But when he caught sight of his uncle and his wife watching the spectacle, he snapped back to reality and forced himself to suppress his anger.

"Auntie, don't worry. Think about who you gave the money to. Don't worry, as long as you gave the money for your dowry, I will definitely find a way to get it back for you."

Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang exchanged a glance. Grandma Fang stepped forward, bent down to help the widow up, and said, "Sister, let's talk this out. It's just a few dollars. We wouldn't stoop to embezzling it. Think carefully, who did you give the money to?"

The widow paused, looked up and glanced around, then pointed to Brother Fang's children.

He said, "I've given the money to your child."

All eyes turned to the child.

Brother Fang also frowned and looked over.

"...We haven't seen much money."

The younger one pointed at the widow, "She's lying."

"Good heavens! I've worked so hard to save every penny, and they want to keep it all without even saying they've ever seen it..." The widow pounded the ground and started wailing again. "I'm going to find the leaders to give me justice! The village secretary took my money and did nothing..."

"You little brat, did you take the money and spend it on firecrackers?"

Erniu's mother suddenly rushed out and slapped the child on the head. The slap made the little boy stagger forward several steps, lose his balance, and fall to the ground.

After finishing this one, she went to fight another one.

He hit and yelled at them, "You stole needles when you were little, are you going to rob banks when you grow up? Give me the money!"

"Wow……"

The child staggered as he was hit, crying loudly.

“We’ve never seen this grandma, we haven’t taken any money from her, grandma, you’re wronging us…”

"Who else could it be but you?"

Erniu's mother glanced at Sister-in-law Fang, spat on the ground, and said, "We don't have anyone like you in our family. I don't know who you took after. You're rotten to the core..."

"mom!"

Sister-in-law Fang's face turned ugly. She rushed over, pulled her eldest son up from the ground, and held her younger son in her arms. She confronted Erniu's mother, saying, "Children don't lie. If they say they haven't seen it, then they haven't seen it. Don't wrong my child."

Erniu's mother glared at her, opened her mouth as if to curse, but suddenly remembered what Erniu had said to her about filial piety and how she would have to rely on her eldest son and his wife for their old age, so she held back.

He asked Sister-in-law Fang, "Where did the money go? Could it just disappear into thin air? Or did they give it to you and you took it?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I've never even seen money. Don't you know how much money I have?" Sister-in-law Fang retorted irritably when she saw that her mother was still trying to frame her.

Erniu's mother was furious when she saw her daughter repeatedly taking the blame.

Everyone in the family can bully her. She suffers from her mother-in-law's temper as a daughter-in-law, and she suffers from her daughter-in-law's temper as a mother-in-law!

Why can the old lady boss her around like that, and she still has to be filial to her?!

Erniu is completely wrong!
