"No, I don't agree!"
Tang's father was supported by his stepmother and stood in front of the car, not allowing Chen Dazhuang and others to move the boxes into the car.
The crutch in his hand pressed on the dowry box carried by Chen Dazhuang and Hu Peng, and he was almost sitting on it.
When Tang Qiyue came out, she saw such a confrontation. The three sons of the Tang family who followed her all looked ashamed. They had never heard of a married girl's dowry being withheld by her family.
The old father is getting old and confused, but they still have some dignity.
Big Brother Tang kept trying to persuade his father, but his father couldn't explain why. He just said in a bad tone, "Don't meddle in my affairs. If I say no, it means no!"
Brother Tang looked at Tang Qiyue with an apologetic look.
Although they are not born of the same mother, Tang Qiyue is pretty. She has lived alone with her mother since she was a child and they only see each other a few times during the holidays. Brother Tang's attitude towards this sister is quite good.
"Dad, what are you doing? Qiyue and her brother-in-law are leaving, so why are you withholding the dowry? We don't need these things at home!"
Tang Chunlan's second brother, Tang Chunlan's brother, held Tang's father. He also felt ashamed. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that his own father would do such a thing.
It was Tang Qiuyue's parents who forced her to marry someone else. Now that she's married, they want her dowry back. Is this something a normal person would do?
Even Tang San's brother came to persuade him, but Tang's father was determined to get the dowry box back.
Tang Qiyue looked at this scene and instead of getting angry she laughed. She knew that her father was anxious, but what could she do?
"Dad, if you insist on taking my dowry, I, Tang Qiyue, won't stop you, but I've always been clear about gratitude and grudges!"
Tang Qiuyue took out an axe for chopping wood from behind the door, walked directly to Tang's father, and signaled Chen Dazhuang and Hu Peng to put the box on the ground.
"Then I'll chop these boxes up. After all, these dowry boxes disgust me!"
Tang's father looked at Tang Qiyue who raised the axe and chopped down without hesitation. His face changed drastically. He didn't even care about his old age and hit Tang Qiyue's wrist with the crutch in his hand.
Zhan Zeye, who had been watching from the side, drew his gun and shot when Tang's father raised his crutch.
These things happened in an instant, so even if someone saw the whole process, no one could stop it except for changing their expression.
Tang Qiyue leaned back and was held in Zhan Zeye's arms. He shot with one hand, and the bullet went through the crutch and exploded directly, with wood chips flying everywhere. The sound scared everyone and they all ran away with their heads in their hands.
Tang's father stared blankly at the crutch with only the dragon head left, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Brother Tang and the others finally reacted and hurried over to check on Tang's father. The axe in Tang Qiyue's hand also fell to the ground. Chen Dazhuang, Hu Peng and two comrades instinctively took out the pistols at their waists and aimed them at Tang's father and the others.
That kind of scene is unimaginable for ordinary people.
No matter how powerful Tang's father was, he was old after all. It was only his years of experience that kept him from falling down. He just glanced woodenly at the muzzles of several guns and finally realized what kind of person he had provoked.
As his sons exclaimed, his knees became as soft as noodles and his body fell backward uncontrollably.
Zhan Zeye put away his gun and signaled Chen Dazhuang and the others to do the same.
These people are all legally armed, and in special circumstances they can shoot directly without reporting.
As the black muzzles of the guns disappeared, many people hiding in the corners breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.
At this time, everyone looked at the Zhan family yard again with fear, and they understood that they would rather offend the King of Hell than offend the Zhan family in the future, because there was an evil star in the Zhan family who could shoot at any time.
"Tang Yaozong, are you getting old and confused? I told you yesterday that my wife's dowry was donated to the country. This time I'm sending it over with the dowry. Are you trying to steal it from the country?"
Zhan Zeye's voice was quite loud, and the neighbors who came out one after another also heard it. Only then did they realize how shameless the old man Tang's father was. He actually wanted to snatch back his daughter's dowry. He was indeed a profiteer and a bully!
The three sons of the Tang family, who were unaware of the truth, were blushing and too embarrassed to raise their heads. They ignored their father's struggle and directly carried their old father into the car.
"Brother-in-law, my father is old and confused. He just doesn't want my little sister to go with the army. He doesn't really want to get the dowry back. Don't bother with him. July is a righteous month. Donating the dowry to the country is a good thing. Our Tang family is not that stingy. We have decided to donate all our assets to the country!"
Brother Tang gritted his teeth, knowing that if he couldn't handle this matter well today, the Tang family would most likely be finished.
The Tang family was already in a precarious situation and was on the verge of collapse at any time. Originally, they had a relationship with Zhan Zeye and could be linked to the people behind him, but after Tang's father interfered, the Tang family's property could no longer be saved. They could only hope that the Tang family would donate all the property to save the lives of the Tang family members.
Zhan Zeye looked down at Tang Qiyue and saw that she didn't react at all. He knew that she didn't want to take advantage of him at this moment, so he pulled up his face and smiled.
"It's a blessing for the Tang family that my brother-in-law has such a high level of awareness. On behalf of the working people, I thank the Tang family for their generosity!"
After Zhan Zeye finished speaking, Brother Tang smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said it was not necessary.
Everyone knows how to say polite words, and the neighbors who came to watch the fun also joined in, praising the Tang family for their righteousness.
The Tang family left quickly and the dowry box was moved back onto the carriage.
The four military wives who were originally sitting in the carriage had gotten off the car when they heard the noise. Now they looked at the rosewood dowry boxes that filled most of the carriage, and then looked at their large, patched bags in the corner.
The contrast was so strong that everyone's expression looked a little unnatural.
It just so happened that these military wives all had children, with each family having at least two children. The adults could hold back, but the children couldn't help being curious. They kept hiding behind their mothers and looking at Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue is so beautiful, so beautiful that she doesn’t seem like someone they can get close to.
Tang Qiyue noticed the children, took out the candies she had prepared earlier, and asked Zhan Zeye if she could give them to them.
"Child, it's up to you. Those are the wives of my comrades. Don't be surprised if they need to call you sister-in-law!"
Zhan Zeye reminded her, and Tang Qiyue exclaimed. She didn't understand why she was surprised, but she reacted immediately.
She is the youngest, so why should we call her sister-in-law? And Zhan Zeye is definitely not the oldest among their comrades?
However, she couldn't figure it out for the time being, so Tang Qiyue didn't think too much about it. Instead, she smiled and stuffed candies into the children's hands. The four military wives expressed their gratitude and indeed called her sister-in-law.
Returning to Zhan Zeye's side, Tang Qiyue picked up the axe on the ground and asked, "How do you know they will call me sister-in-law?"
