A group of people who were fighting happily in the yard were suddenly startled by the banging sound of a gong and stopped at the same time.
Seeing this, Liu Changshan quickly spoke up: "I am the head of Dongliang Village. I can't solve the problem by myself. If you have been wronged, please tell me what you have to say. I can make the decision."
Liu Changshan rushed over just now, and Xiao Yazi couldn't say anything on the way. He didn't know why the people from the two villages were fighting, but no matter what, he had to persuade them to stop fighting first.
After hearing what he said, Zhao Changgui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, pushed through the crowd and walked out.
"You are the village chief? That's perfect. The Shen family is cheating on you. How do you think we can solve this problem?"
Liu Changshan had never met Zhao Changgui before: "Brother, who are you?"
Zhao Changgui spat at Old Man Shen viciously, then turned to answer Liu Changshan: "I am Zhao Changgui who is going to marry into the Shen family."
"I paid 8 yuan, 2 kilograms of sugar, and 50 kilograms of corn, but the Shen family is so wicked that they used a lunatic to fool me."
"Is there any place in the world where people can reason? If you don't give me an explanation today, this matter will never end!"
When they heard that the bride price was 8 yuan, many people from Dongliang Village who were watching the fun couldn't help but be shocked.
That’s 8 bucks!!!
In Dongliang Village, when ordinary families marry off their daughters, the bride price is usually 4 yuan, plus 1 or 2 kilograms of sugar.
It's really not fair of Old Man Shen to ask for so much money and marry his silly granddaughter to him.
The few men who had originally helped in the fight touched their noses in embarrassment and quietly stepped back.
Liu Changshan was in a state of panic. He looked up at Old Man Shen and said, "Where is Zhifu? Come out and talk."
Old man Shen held Shen Xiashu's hand and walked out tremblingly.
When Liu Changshan saw his miserable appearance, he quickly closed his eyes.
I saw that Old Man Shen's cotton-padded jacket was torn in several places, the cotton was exposed, his hair was a mess, and his face was covered with bruises.
Liu Changshan was afraid that the old man would be beaten again, so he could only ask first: "Zhi Fu, are you okay?"
At this moment, Old Man Shen wanted to yell and ask the village chief to bring people to beat up the people from Zhaojiawan, but reason told him that he couldn't do that.
He would like to keep the marriage with Zhaojiawan if possible.
After all, not everyone can afford so much gift!
Old man Shen endured the pain in his body, forced a smile, and said to Liu Changshan: "I'm fine, there is a misunderstanding here, let's go inside and talk first, let's go inside and talk!"
Today's marriage was extremely embarrassing, but Old Man Shen still wanted to solve it behind closed doors, trying to save as much face as possible.
Before Liu Changshan could reply, a man from Zhaojiawan pointed at the donkey in their village and said, "No matter what you say, rescue our donkey first!"
Liu Changshan didn't pay any attention to that place at all. When he turned his head, the gong in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
"Ni'er, Si Ni, you can't do this. Hurry up and give me the sickle. Ah, be obedient!" Liu Changshan shook his legs and slowly approached Shen Siyue.
Shen Siyue decided to quit while she was ahead. She couldn't let this matter turn out to be a disgrace today, so she faced Liu Changshan, raised her hand and stretched the sickle forward, leaving the donkey's neck.
Liu Changshan walked quickly to the front and took the sickles one by one. He finally felt relieved.
After handing the sickle to someone else, he signaled Li Xiang beside him to quickly pull the person away.
Li Xiang took a few steps forward and looked at Shen Siyue: "Yue'er, let's go inside, okay? It's cold outside!"
Shen Siyue left the donkey reluctantly, looking back at it as she walked away: "What about my dad?"
Li Xiang choked, and for a moment she didn't know whether her daughter was really crazy or just pretending.
Li Xiang wanted Shen Siyue to go back to their own small east room, but Shen Siyue ignored her and went straight into the outer room of the east room and stood there.
She still has her final plan to carry out, how can she leave?
The people in Zhaojiawan saw that the donkey in the village had been rescued, so they left one person outside to guard it, and the rest had already followed Zhao Changgui into the east room of the Shen family.
Shen Siyue clung to the door curtain to watch the fun.
After everyone arrived, Zhao Changgui spoke first: "I don't want this marriage with the Shen family. Give me back what I owe you and compensate me with 5 yuan. Today's matter is over. From now on, we will go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other's marriages and funerals."
"What the hell? Why should we compensate you 5 dollars?"
When Shen Laosan heard this, he refused to do it. He didn't make any money, but instead had to spend money. How could he get married then?
Zhao Changgui stood up suddenly, pointed at Shen Laosan's nose and cursed: "Why do you say that? Did you beat up the people in our village for nothing? Besides, the feast is already prepared at home, just waiting for me to go back. Don't you want to pay for those old things?"
"You want to just return the betrothal money? I'm telling you, no way. You don't want money for my face? Because of you bastards, I've lost all my face."
Zhao Changgui became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he wanted to go up and slap Shen Laosan a few more times.
Liu Changshan saw that they were about to fight again, so he hurried to stop them: "If you have something to say, please talk nicely. Third brother, you should say less and let your father do the talking."
Then he turned around and asked Old Man Shen: "Zhi Fu, what's going on? Didn't Mr. Xiao say that Si Ni Er was fine last time? Why is she... again today?"
As he said this, he winked at Old Man Shen when no one was paying attention.
Although Liu Changshan was also very disgusted with what the Shen family did, no matter what, Old Man Shen was from their Dongliang Village, and no matter how unreasonable it was, he had to speak on Old Man Shen's side.
