Why are you swearing?
The two sides were about to start fighting.
Song Erzhuang shouted at the top of his lungs, "That's the jade pendant my Yinhua picked up after falling into the cave behind the mountain. It was the one you guys bullied when Yinhua fell into the cave to save Xiao Si. I personally showed the jade pendant to your grandfather to check if it was real or fake, and then your grandfather kept it for himself!"
"Impossible! My grandfather wasn't that kind of person!"
"Why not? If you don't believe me, ask your grandfather. Make him swear that if what I said is true, he'll suffer a terrible death!"
Old Master Tang, who had been silent all along, immediately jumped up, "Song Erzhuang, how dare you curse me to die!"
Everyone present could see that Song Erzhuang was telling the truth, and the old man felt guilty.
Song Hanwen had to protect his mother and grandfather, so he firmly denied it verbally, but his tone was somewhat threatening: "Second Uncle, watch your words. Don't upset my grandfather. If anything happens to him, don't blame me for being impolite as his nephew."
"What? You want to fight your second uncle?" Song Erzhuang was furious. "You, your younger brother and sister, and those cousins bullied my little fourth son and caused my Yinhua to fall into the cave. I haven't even settled the score with you yet. Your maternal grandfather embezzled the jade pendant that Yinhua found, and your mother even turned around and slandered my Yinhua everywhere, saying that she was dishonest. If you want to fight me, I'll teach you a lesson!"
In a fit of rage, Song Erzhuang punched his nephew in the face. When Tang Suxiang saw her son being beaten, she rushed over like a madwoman, ready to fight Song Erzhuang.
With a single swing of his arm, Song Erzhuang flung Tang Suxiang eight hundred meters away. Seeing this, Song Hanwen was so angry that he started fighting with Song Erzhuang.
Hearing the commotion, the neighbors all came over to see what was going on.
Some people watched the spectacle while simultaneously trying to take sides.
A group of grown men desperately pulled Song Erzhuang, the poorest man in the village, aside, all talking at once to persuade him not to argue with the child.
What real jade pendant could be found in a cave? The person in question was already in their seventies or eighties and could die anytime soon; there was no need for them to swallow such a fake object.
They're all family; it's ridiculous for outsiders to see their uncle and nephew fighting.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Suxiang scratched and kicked Song Erzhuang. Qiao Guilan, who was heartbroken for her husband, wanted to fight back, but she had the will but not the courage. In the end, she could only stand aside and sulk.
Song Erzhuang was held back by the villagers, and he angrily cursed them.
They cursed Old Master Tang and Tang Suxiang.
When Song Hanwen saw his mother and grandfather being scolded, he slapped Song Erzhuang across the face and warned him not to scold them again.
When a junior member of the family slapped him in public, Song Erzhuang pushed away several villagers who were trying to pull him away, rushed into Song Hanwen's kitchen, grabbed an axe, and was about to chop his nephew up. Qiao Guilan was so frightened that she held onto her husband tightly.
This could lead to someone's death!
A group of villagers rushed up and surrounded Song Erzhuang. One quick-thinking villager snatched the axe and advised Song Hanwen not to provoke his second uncle any further.
Only after seeing that Song Erzhuang was under control did Song Hanwen dare to point at his own face and shout, "Chop me! Come on, come on, chop me!"
Song Erzhuang was so angry that he roared and shouted.
"The jade pendant my daughter Yinhua found is definitely real! You are the thieves, you stole my daughter Yinhua's jade pendant!"
Song Hanwen pointed at Song Erzhuang's nose and said fiercely, "Watch your mouth!"
The villagers rushed forward to stop Song Hanwen, telling him not to point randomly and provoke Song Erzhuang, lest someone really die.
Song Erzhuang was held down tightly by several strong villagers, and he angrily yelled at the top of his lungs.
That loud voice, like an earthquake, could be heard ten miles away.
He wailed about everything that happened back then.
He not only recounted how Song Hanwen and his gang bullied three-year-old Cai Xing, pushed her into a cave, and how Song Yinhua fell into the cave while trying to save her.
She also brought up the fact that she had prevented her two daughters from going to school and lent money to her older brother to support her nephew's education.
He also recounted everything, including how Baogen needed money for surgery and went to his elder brother's house to borrow money, but couldn't get a single penny; how Song Hanwen's daughter had acute pneumonia a couple of years ago and couldn't borrow a single penny from Grandpa Tang, but he secretly sent money to his elder brother; and so on.
Song Hanwen didn't believe it and asked his own mother, who was still kicking and hitting Song Erzhuang, "Mom, didn't you say that the money for Tangbao's medical treatment two years ago was given to you by Grandpa?"
Tang Suxiang remained calm and composed, saying, "Don't listen to your second uncle's nonsense. His family is so poor, do you think they have any money to lend us? Our family doesn't owe them a single penny."
Upon hearing this, Song Erzhuang flew into a rage and jumped up and down in anger.
My voice is hoarse from yelling.
"That's all my Yinhua's salary! You swear, you swear, do you dare to swear? Go ahead and swear! The money for your granddaughter's medical treatment still hasn't been paid back!"
Suddenly a villager shouted, "Dazhuang is back!"
Song Dazhuang parked his bicycle in the yard, glanced at the crowd, and said, "What's all the noise about? I could hear you shouting from far away, aren't you ashamed!"
Song Erzhuang, unable to contain his anger, ran to his older brother to complain.
His daughter's jade pendant was stolen by his father-in-law, and his wife even turned around and slandered his daughter, saying she was dishonest. His son even got into a fight with his own uncle, and his wife still wouldn't admit that the money for Tangbao's medical treatment was borrowed from him.
"It's no big deal, look how hoarse you've been shouting." Song Dazhuang walked over. "Hanwen, go get your second uncle a glass of water."
Han Zhiyuan quietly stood behind Song Yinhua and whispered, "Your uncle is also showing signs of taking sides! What kind of relatives do you have!"
In his previous life, he had little contact with Song Yinhua's family relatives.
He hadn't even visited Song Yinhua's family home more than twice.
Seeing that Song Yinhua was unusually quiet, Han Zhiyuan assumed that she must be sad and upset.
Her own reputation was ruined by her relatives, and even her own father was bullied by them.
As the future eldest son-in-law of the Song family, tonight is his chance to make a good impression.
As long as she could win over her future father-in-law, Song Yinhua was so moved that she would repay him by marrying him!
"Uncle Dazhuang, your brother would rather suffer hardship himself than not lend money to your son for his education, and he even lent his daughter's salary to your granddaughter for medical treatment. Now your family is denying it and even slandering the girl's reputation. This is too unethical and too bullying!" Han Zhiyuan said loudly. "Your family is like using people when you need them and then discarding them when you don't! Don't you all agree?"
The other villagers had already sensed something was amiss.
Nobody's a fool.
Song Erzhuang's voice became hoarse from shouting, and his face turned bright red with anger, as if he had been drinking. He didn't look like he was lying.
Everyone in the village knows that Erzhuang is honest and simple-minded, all brawn and no brains, only good for farming and manual labor.
He truly lives up to his name.
Dazhuang is shrewd, good at accounting, and has some technical skills. He works as the manager of a private factory in town and also settles wages for the workers.
Han Zhiyuan, hiding behind the villagers, continued shouting, "Uncle Dazhuang, this is called being ungrateful..."
"Who shouted?" Tang Suxiang yelled in the direction of the voice, "Who is ungrateful? Anyone who dares to talk nonsense again, I'll tear their mouth apart! It was Song Erzhuang's eldest daughter who stole my sixth sister's grandson's amulet. It was a life-saving charm, which the child's maternal grandfather obtained at a high price from the temple in town."
The villagers were talking about it.
Song Yinhua then asked, "Which temple in town did you get it from? There are such powerful treasures in this world that can prolong life. I want to get one too. I'm afraid of dying. If I get this treasure, I can prolong my life and live to be a hundred! Anyone in the village who is not in good health can get one, and everyone can live to be a hundred."
This immediately piqued the interest of the villagers.
